I'm generally fine with people rolling.

Reading the various room descriptions in the dormitory made me think about Golarion's geography. Based on a map I found, it would seem that the Magaambya is more or less at the equivalent latitude to the Tropic of Cancer, that is, in Golarion's northern hemisphere at around (roughly) 23.5-deg N.

So at the summer solstice, the sun should be more-or-less directly overhead; otherwise, the south facing rooms would have more direct sunlight (as per our Champion of Sarenrae's selection). I didn't find a specification of the date we are beginning IC (perhaps doesn't really matter).

I found this (the geography) a bit surprising ... I had presupposed that the Mwangi Expanse was a bit closer to equatorial latitudes rather than formally only on the edge of 'the tropics.'

@allefgib, did Caeliria settle upon A14D or A14F?

I took one of two. Caeliria can certainly have the other one. Olis doesn't really care about size, just location.

[Vedast]

Rooms so far:

Olis. D or F (needing a view to the east - south facing being better for this - for morning devotions)

Kraawkaw. B (proximity to the image of Nethys on the wall; not bothered by the lack of a window).

Marica. E (not bothered by the lack of a window)

Caeliria. F? (F is largest of F, D, A, C)

N'dembe. A or C? (A having a window)

Thank you, @Vedast, for the score card. I was struggling to keep track myself. 😄 If everybody else has made their decisions and nobody wants A14A, N'dembe will choose that one as his own.

[farothel]

If Caeliria wants F, I'll take D. No problem there.

[allefgib]

Personally I'm not fussed ;)

Lets go with F if next biggest.

As a player I'll adapt her mindset to suit fairness but thinking she's in the best spot... or oppressed :p

Are you settled on rooms? What's the final tally?

I wonder whether poor Room C is ever chosen by a Party of five or fewer PCs?

The room sizes are still quite amazing. I'm sitting in our living room which is a open floor plan with the dining room and kitchen: the whole space is, roughly, 20' by 30' or 4 x 6 map squares (really 22' by 31'). Room B is 7 x 8 squares! And even the smaller A is 5 x 8 squares.

@hoverfrog  question about the floorplan. Are there stairs indicted there at three locations: there appear to be some indications there of a 90-deg turn stairs at the E&W ends of the main E-W hall and another, straight, stair at the southern end of the main N-S hall. Wondering whether this suggests a second floor and more occupants (students) or possibly classrooms or ... ?

it's the smallest inside room, so if you want a window, then no. If you want an inside room (or get stuck with one), you probably take one of the bigger ones. It makes sense.

Or perhaps it's haunted.....

just to let you guys know I'll be away from this Saturday until the 12th of January.  I should have internet access during my holiday, but I might be a bit slower to respond.  And I'll be offline during the travel days.
