A Noble Deed (Inactive)

Game Master PDXCook

The group is better then I could have hoped for. Keep it up.

BTW what did you guys think of the character creation and the plot hook.

Yes indeed. Having a great time.

I was a big fan of the plot hook. It very clearly got noble offspring together immediately, which creates some very unusual group dynamics, and set the ball rolling very quickly with an intriguing, fetch quest plot. I have many questions as to the history of these gems, why they are where they are, etc.

I've personally always been a fan of the kidnapping plot hook. I think some people feel like it's railroady but I think that it's a reasonable way to create a lot of tension right away while also getting strangers to start working together.

I second this. This sets up a very unique premise that promises great interactions, and it seems like we have quite the bubbling pot of personalities.

Side note, my internet isn't working at my house, so my posting may be a bit sporadic. My apologies, but between school and work I cant get it fixed untio Friday.

I enjoyed it.

Because of the mix of alignments and personalities the players in us will be thinking very different to what our characters might.

Example Amelia believing it a 'noble' lol cause to save an undead creature from undead where as Alexandra's knows she should be really suspicious as to motives but doesn't actually care so long as the dragon keeps its word.

I love the tattoo idea, and just in general how these completely different characters are being made to work together and tolerate each other's eccentricities.

Like Alexandra started out finding Amelia annoying, but they both have the same opinion about Lysanders way of talking, so there's a common ground that isn't an undead dragon.

Playing Alexandra is hard sometimes because I need to remember how upper class, noble born, royal and proper she is, but at the same time she finds physical situations a lot more frustrating than social ones XD

It is nice that every member of the group has very different identities. Everyone is doing such an excellent job of portraying their character that just the text would be enough to identify them. Even though I'm playing a straight man who's a bit gruff and short worded. It gives a lot of different avenues to explore the world through.

It's the opposite for Daubeny. Let the others handle the social, but if it's physical he's all for it.

Amelia, on the other hand, is one of those nobles who believes in helping the servants with their work. She did her fair share of mucking out stables and cleaning dishes. Her father believed in the value of hard work.

I did not realize how hard it is to find videos of people playing small harps. Or for that mater how big most harps are. I hope you enjoy the music I find. Please ignore how much Iraonar has to break physics to get these sounds out of a little harp and just chalk it up to the fact that he is supposed to be miraculously good at music.

on the topic of the premises it is vary cool. I also think it was a good way to give the players some say in the world without breaking it. As has been stated I like how it forces us to interact without creating conflict, even though we just met.

Oh man I can't not comment on Alexandra's internal monologue about the hair brush. This is just too good. I'm dying here. Also, great roleplay of an evil but human character.

This group is very entertaining. I am glad I put you all together.

If my writing style changes then let me know. I've been put on a trial of new meds and don't know how they'll affect my writing yet.

It's really interesting playing a character who really can't do much. Since she's totally out of her element, she seems to be forcing her element into the situation.

It may come across as babble or silly posting, but Alexandra is so used to either putting on airs or being the centre of attention that when she's neither she just thinks about herself and judges others XD

I have no idea the state of Amelia's hair. I'm sure she takes great care of it.

Alexandra's rp is great. Keep it up!

I am sure that any stray hairs that Amelia has will be treated justly.

The battle map needs to be update for our positions.

I am sure that any stray hairs that Amelia has will be treated justly.

BAHAHAHA!! Oh yes indeed they will. :D "Stray hairs are mean and must be destroyed!" Oh man this is all great.

lol

Ah, I do believe Iraonar and Daubeny will have to have some philosophical chats :D

Hahaha. Yes, indeed.

Sorry, I've had a death in the family that escalated. I wont be able to post until later tonight. My apologies

So sorry to hear that. Obviously no problem for us. That's a way bigger deal than PbP. I hope things get better soon.

I think it is not my turn for a little bit as Daubeny spent his surprise round, I went, and the skeletons went. I'll wait for the rest of the party to go before I act at the beginning of the next round, if there's anything left to do. Is that correct, GM?

Daubeny, good to have you back. I hope things are going well for your family.

Wow, this new Paizo update is something else. I don't know if I like it all that much.

Sorry for the inconsistent posting everyone. It was my first week at uni this week and I go 4 days so I've been pretty overloaded with getting assessment schedules and study and traveling there and back.

I still want to play, but I'll let everyone know if it gets too much for me to keep going.

I would hate to lose you. We should be fine if you check in every couple of days.

Yes we'd hate to lose you, Alexandra. Who would throw around arcane power while making snide remarks about our plebian surroundings? XD

Indeed. All Daubeny can do is pick rock up, put rock down, and throw rock :D. Take whatever time is needed.

Alexandra, Queen of the Rants

Wow, just wow. All hail the queen of the rants. RANTS FOR THE RANT QUEEN!

In all seriousness, your posts as of late have been amazing quality. Thanks for that.

*applause*

Darn gator has the same bonus as me but rolled a 17... Well here comes the boss fight! I, personally, was hoping to buff up on some extracts first... sigh...

That was the end of the module. I have enjoyed having all of you as players.

Does everyone want to continue with something else?

I would like that.

Sure! I thought the dragon needed several gems?

Also, have we lost Alexandra? That'd be a pity. In addition to her awesome roleplay, she showed how terrifying she can be when she's willing to drop her highest spell level (even though that's only 1 right now).

I'd be very happy to continue this onwards.

Likewise.

Does anyone have suggestions on what they would like to do now. I enjoy running modules and adventure paths.

I was running two groups thought this same adventure and the other one kind of fell apart. It got down to only two players that were doing anyting so I have invited them over to this game for the next round.

We can do some role playing to introduce them at the villa.

Also level up to level two and let me know when you get it posted so I can look over it and update your characters in my Hero Lab.

I'd be willing to run whatever you'll throw at us.

I have no issues with them joining.

Out of curiosity, do you want villa role play here or in gameplay?

We will role play it in gameplay soon.

Sounds good to me! My knowledge checks just got awesome now at level 2. I'll figure out leveling up and any equipment I want to buy in a bit here. Welcome to the new players!

GM, may I pay the 100 gp to retrain improved initiative into extra discovery? I couldn't take extra discovery at level 1 because I didn't get the discovery class feature until level 2 but I'd prefer extra discovery.

Hi. I'm one of the refugee players from the other thread.

GM, he's leveled up. I went with average hp, I didn't see what you wanted to do for that. Easy enough to change, anyway.

I forgot about that. Roll hit points as Half + dHalf. So d8 becomes 4+d4, d10 becomes 5+d5.

Lysander I have so say no to your request. I have never liked retraining. How do you forget something to learn something else? Its not logical.

HP: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Amelia gains the following:
+7 total HP
+1 BAB
+1 rank in Acrobatics, Climb, Knowledge (Religion), Diplomacy, Linguistics, and knowledge (Nobility).
+1 Fort and Will saves
+1 1st level spell slot
She learns Draconic thanks to her rank in Linguistics.

No problem, sounds good.

Lysander gains:
HP: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
+9 hp
+1 Bab
+1 rank in many skills (haven't alotted yet)
Discovery: Tanglefoot bombs
+1 fort and ref saves
Poison resistance +2
+1 1st level extract slot
Add my int twice to knowledge checks

Greetings! I am the other player from the other game.

Kol-Relden HP: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

A couple of questions about Nippy:
1) Do you wish for me to roll for each HD Nippy gains over his first?
2) Would Kol-Relden have time to teach him a new trick while at the villa?

Other than these, both of my aliases are leveled up fully.

Sorry, I'm in finals week so it may be a couple days before I can completely level.

HP: 1d5 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
+1 Bab
+ 1 Fort Save
Pole Fighting- Daubeny can attack adjacent for a -4 penalty.
1 Feat-Dodge

That's a fun way to do it. I use something similar.

Rolling hit points: 1d4 ⇒ 1

So it stays the same.

Greetings! A druid and a magus! Those are some awesome additions.

Hp: 1d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Favored class bonus +1 spell known

BAB + 1,Ref + 1, Will + 1

Spells (+1 Lvl.0/day, +1 Lvl.1/day)

Lvl.1 Lucky break
