Awesome writing, Damien. The Aoife/journal stuff is great. Super neat and well done.

That's all. I just wanted to throw out a compliment where it is due :)

Did I do something wrong?

Certainly not! I was just surprised that you picked up on it so soon.

GM - I have a pretty decent sense motive - can I tell if she is sincere or not?

You have sensed enough as a player! ;-)

I can't tell you if she is or not based on your sense motive because we are in story mode. Your stats are meaningless (except, maybe, to help you frame your narrative). It's up to you. Certainly, nothing she has said would tip Jorvik off that she cares anything for what you will ask of her... but then, you haven't asked her for anything yet.

She definitely is sincere about wanting Jadrenka out of the equation - as is borne out by your previous chat with the satyr. The satyr said more things, too, and feel free to use them in your future negotiations. Both Jadrenka and Caigreal seem to be allied with Baba Yaga (though she chose Jadrenka as Artrosa's guardian) so they are almost certainly both evil.

All I will say is this: whether you ally with Caigreal or not, the plot absolutely will not break down. It will move forwards. You are aware, though, that Jadrenka is more favored by the Queen of Witches, if that makes a difference to you.

Oh, and Ishbaad cast discern lies, and she hasn't tripped off the spell with anything she has said.

Hey guys, just a note that at this rate, we won't be able to get through Book 3 by GenCon, even in story mode. There has been a marked drop in posting frequency, and we seem to have become mired in this last encounter.

To help push it along quicker, I'm instituting the RULE OF ONE. Only one person is needed to make a decision and advance the plot.

Part of this is also thusly: please make a decision and advance the plot every time you post. Don't worry too much about wrecking the story or anything like that, I'm telling you it won't happen. I'll find a way to make whatever you post work. If we keep on having things like this negotiation with Caigreal in every encounter where you're worried about making the wrong decision, or what the other PCs think, then we'll never finish in time. Let's treat this more like improv where we say 'yes', and move on from that point. Kinda like what I did when Ice Melts Quietly in Sunlight bombed the ettin witch.

By the way, it is perfectly reasonable to do what you're doing in the current negotiation! It just takes too long for getting through this in time is all.

I will also try to maintain a rapid posting rate, but please do try to post frequently. Don't worry about thread blasting. Finishing is more important than an equal spread of posts - especially when some players haven't posted for days (Jyri, I know you're on vacation and you've excused yourself - hope you're having fun!).

Yeah, sorry about that. I thought I would have opportunities to post, but time just flies... Weekend I'll be in international waters, and Monday back to work (and back to normal, I hope).

Sorry boys, had to take my car in for repairs today. Add that to a sleepless night and looking after the girls because it's summer and this is the first chance I've had to let you know that I don't think I'll get a post in today. I'll try to catch up tomorrow morning.

So good news is that I had a chunk of time today, and that is few and far between for me. Spent the lions share of that doing some character crunch and boy was that fun.

So for Jorvik, I have yet to level him to 8. Story mode, life, procrastination, whatever, went back to the books today.

Going to do a serious retool as we are allowed to Right GM? between books.

I am going to drop two levels of ranger and add three (my 6-7 +8) of Barbarian (Mounted Fury Barbarian). Should that be straight Barbarian or Unchained Barbarian? Any opinions as both are available to us?

In general, Unchained is a much better option, even if for the simple fact that you can't rage die anymore.

Straight barbarian works amazingly well for Benaiah since he is a strength stacker, and has the ability to drink an extract that prevents rage deaths.

The barbarian powers are similar in concept to ninja tricks/rogue talents in that when you get to the appropriate levels, you can pick what you want to customize your barbarian roots a bit more, and tailor it to what you are doing with your character.

Unless you have a very specific reason, IMO the unchained barbarian is a better option overall.

Ouch - did not know it was the one and same Jadrenka. At a loss for what to do next. Help?

Tee hee. You weren't supposed to know until just then. Doesn't stop her being condescendingly matronly to you. ;-)

Okay, so I don't want to push the game along too quickly by virtue of GM fiat, so I'll throw you a bone.

Please remember that you are here in Artrosa not to find Baba Yaga, but to find keys to throw in the cauldron. Also remember that the last two keys were just mundane items (a plague mask and a frost giant's beard). They are not likely to be the iron actual key that Jadrenka gave you before (when she was young).

This info (the puzzle clues and the links to the full posts) has also been on the campaign info tab for some time, and relates to the clues for finding those keys:

Amulets & clues:

  • Dragon: Look for this key where time catches up to us all, and look for the Mother when the moon is full!
  • Gold: That which you desire, the Changeling holds. Know this as well—you will find the Crone only when the moon wanes.
  • Artrosa: Seek now the sisters three who are one: Mother, Maiden, Crone. But know that the Maiden is elusive, and may only be caught with the waxing moon.

You have already found Artrosa, so the third clue is less relevant, but the first two clues seem to be relevant to finding the cauldron keys.

I have no idea why the book presented the clues out of order (ie. with Artrosa and the dawn / maiden room as the last room you find).

Thanks for all this information and recapping what we know, Damien. This is huge help, getting my mind focused on the right things and the right task. I'm sure I would be off down the wrong path if you hadn't posted this. I feel really dumb that I completely did not realize that the raven's hints from way back were actually clues to the keys to the hut we are looking for. I know they were hints to something, but now I realize I completely missed how important they were.

Thanks again

Sorry it has taken me so long to weigh in on your question. I just wanted to add/echoe what Damien and Steve have already mentioned, that (I think) unchained barbarian is the way to go. When we first started Reign of Winter, Aoife was intended to be a regular barbiarian, and then when unchained was released, I switched her over. Unchained, like Steve mentioned, basically removes the need to use a feat to prevent rage-death, so that alone is really good.

@Jorvik: Reading the paizo forums, it seems like many are complaining the unchained barb is a nerfed version of the original. I guess it relates to certain rage powers to be unavailable to the UCB. But as the others said, getting temporary hp instead of con increase simplifies book-keeping, and prevents unnecessary deaths.
Especially if you are just dipping, all you would be losing is 1 point of damage when using 2-handed weapons.

So, go unchained :)

Wow, just saw the GenCon countdown... 14 days!

I'm going to New York this weekend, and I want to make sure I have enough time to send out your chronicles and for you to properly level up prior to the 'Con. As such, I am going to absolutely power through the remainder until the final encounter/s. I'm already removing a massive pile of useless and very dungeon-y combats, leaving you with just those that are relevant to the plot (this adventure really is 100% dungeon-crawl, interspersed with some plot related stuff that may never ever know the relevance of).

So... my aim is to complete this on this coming Friday or Monday and have chronicles out soon after that.

Please give me the following:

PFS - Character #:
Faction:
Character name (optional):

Note that, as with the previous chronicle, multiple chronicles from this AP have added benefits with the Mantle of the Black Rider boon - so if you're struggling to decide, that will hopefully help.

Also, if you feel like it, you may LEVEL UP TO 9 for the final encounter (when we get to it, I'll ask if you want to roll it out or not - and I'll hand out chronicles during the combat). You certainly don't need to do the level up, just thought I'd offer it.

I would rather play this out (rolls, etc). Haven't really been into the whole "story mode" thing, personally.

Sweet! Thanks, Damien! Aoife is updated to level 9, took another level of Brawler (strangler). I also put a point into language(Russian), hope that's ok!

I'm good either way with the final encounter, story-mode or rolling-mode, whatever the group wants to do! Thanks again, dude!

Wow. Did not expect that. So I will do that for sure, and I would vote for roll but that is only if, and that would be a big if, we had time to. Honestly, I too am about to depart for warmer weather and my posting will be somewhat limited until just before GenCon so story mode works for me.

Having a difficult day posting. I have written and rewritten 4 Jorvik posts only to delete everyone one of the as they were complete shite.

I will try to get one up tonight I hope, even if it is a Jorvik farts post.

My apologies to GM.

As always, thank you so much for running. The time. The detail. I really appreciate it.

Woo Level 9!

I personally wouldn't mind rolling the last encounter, but I echo Jorvik's point that IF and ONLY IF we actually have time.

Our last fight with the Baroness was Epic, Incredible, and LONG. Kinda like Peyton Manning winning the super bowl and then retiring. It is a good place to go out on top.

I also understand the demands that combat puts on a PbP GM - Seems like even more work than normal.

It would be fun to roll it and play with level 9 stats and abilities, but I am also enjoying Story Mode, and would be just fine with that.

Oh man I must be so distracted when I am typing my posts.

I went back to read my most recent one while laying in bed, and the poor grammer and confusing references hurt my head. I swear it all made sense at one point.

I'll do better. I've gotta do better... that is just sloppy!

Okay, so the vote is to roll this out. I'm going to get it started pretty soon... so please do have whatever character level you'd like to use (8 or 9) ready to go! I will also implement an 8 hour bot-clock. I know this is tight, but so is time.

What level range is the chronicle for? I could perhaps take it for Amaranti (who is lvl8, maybe 9 after tonight):

Looks like Kuragin's Paizo profile is still level 7. I have lvl8 on Hero Lab, and I'll level up to 9 tonight - and put the updated information to profile.

And yeah, rolling the BBEG has more epic feel for it :) I'll try to put up a bot-plan if/when I'm not able to post in 8 hours.

Ice Melts Quietly in Sunlight is leveled up and ready.

Not sure about the feat Ricochet Splash Weapon, but it seems neat. And probably better in many ways than getting Rapid Shot since he still only has 18 bombs. That might seem like a lot, but he could go through them fast

Updated tagline. Just spent 15 minutes updating my dice rolls in SimpleNote. Oh vey!

Are we prepping in any way for this fight?

I'm glad Aoife and Kuragin reflected on the voice of Baba Yaga in the jar. I wanted to, but then felt like I was forcing too much into my post. Trying to get better at not being sloppy.

That was a sweet moment, for sure.

Level 8-10 chronicle. Amaranti would be perfect for it.

As for prep... the doors await, but you can buff for as long as you like. I just ask that you please do a single buff post each and track your own buffs.

At least it would, if I was fast enough to get into melee range...

Yea, seriously have to do something about that speed...

Also, The cavalier and the inquisitor have some cool synergy with all the teamwork feats, but lemme just say, trying to figure out what swift action to use is painful.

Challenge? Swift action

Judgement? Swift action

Bane ability? Swift action

Omen Trait ability? Swift action

Oof....

Just busting chops. Super scared for GMs first damage roll. I have just over a 100 hp so let's see how long I can stay up. :)

Ha! I'm just playing back. You see, it can't hurt my heart because I can't make it into melee... ha!

I wanted to let you all know that I have emailed John about what happened to Jorvik. Firstly, he's taking it like the trooper that he is. Secondly, it did indeed happen. Jorvik is actually dead. Please do react appropriately.

Of course, you are rich beyond your wildest dreams and upon finding civilization, you can no doubt pay for whatever spells you need. Please do keep in mind, though, that this is the first time this has happened to a PC, that these spells are not infallible and that it is still a very traumatic experience for all involved.

I know your roleplaying of this situation will do Jorvik proud.

Holy god, no. This can't be happening! I don't think any of us will be able to do true RP justice to the gravity of this situation. I'm stunned from what happened.

It's a testament to how awesome Jorvik is as a character, how stunned and down I am in real life.

One quick point, that I added to an OOC on my post. As I understand it, Jorvik should have had two more hero points, from leveling up. If I am wrong, that's fine, but if he does, he might not be dead.

Cheat Death wrote:
Cheat Death: A character can spend 2 hero points to cheat death. How this plays out is up to the GM, but generally the character is left alive, with negative hit points but stable. For example, a character is about to be slain by a critical hit from an arrow. If the character spends 2 hero points, the GM decides that the arrow pierced the character's holy symbol, reducing the damage enough to prevent him from being killed, and that he made his stabilization roll at the end of his turn. Cheating death is the only way for a character to spend more than 1 hero point in a turn. The character can spend hero points in this way to prevent the death of a familiar, animal companion, eidolon, or special mount, but not another character or NPC.

Truly vicious of you GM Damo, with the final blow after he had already dropped. I respect that, but it is a nasty thing to do.

As I noted, John and I have already discussed Jorvik's death. He is dead.

As for the viciousness, I considered splitting up the hoof attacks to put the last one on Heafoc, but it just wasn't thematic or appropriate, given Vsevolod's attitude and that Heafoc was essentially doing no damage. For sure I would have split it up if anyone else was in melee... or if this was PFS.

Seriously, please do.

Okay, time to go to New York. Thank you very much for those incredible post-death posts from all of you. As you may or may not have figured out by now, John and I were already aware of the hero points available, and decided this would be the way to go. I wanted to make sure there was an appropriate sense of loss here, and so didn't want to go into a lengthy discussion with everyone about it.

Sorry I didn't have time to let you get another post in before the rez, John, but you can please please please feel free to retcon it, especially if it's mostly written!

I can't wait to see what you do with this next life, resurrected as you are now from the very essence of Kostchtchie the (no longer) Deathless.

Woooo!!!!!!

Lemme just say, from the bottom of my gamer heart, THANK YOU to both of you for working that out behind the scenes. Absolutely any foreknowledge of anything you had worked out would have completely ruined the rollercoaster of emotion and enjoyment of that entire scene.

It would have been like knowing the final score of the game before you got to watch it. The twists and turns would be interesting, but you would have already known where they all end up, and the excitement and trepidation would not have been there.

I truly am sad that this PbP is ending. I have enjoyed the writing and the reading so much. But if there was ever a way to send off this thread, this was it. What an epic ending to this written chapter.

Be still my beating heart!

I want to post, but since we are going to be wrapping this up anyway I am going to wait. I want to see The Death of Jorvik pt 2 before I post my far less meaningful stuff...

(as in - Whatever that Chekov's Gun reference was to the dragon scale, Ishbaad is as curious as a cat... And hopefully wont wither away and die of old age while trying to figure it out...)

Man... what a cool scene. Still kinda blown away by it all. Seriously you two... So awesome.

Hey guys, just wanted to touch base. New York has been awesome, and more fun to follow today. Still, can't wait to get back to the kids and I can't believe it's only 10 days to GenCon!!! ZOMFGWTFBBQ??!1!!

Please do feel free to ask Jadrenka questions if you have them and / or post an epilogue post.

Thank you everyone for playing over PbP. This has been a very rewarding (if time consuming!) game for me to run. The depth of story here is unmatched in the PFS world and it has been a pleasure running for you. Sorry I couldn't continue over PbP, but real life comes first and it was beginning to suffer. This coming year is going to be a big one, too. More on that in 10 days!

See all of you on the Zedroom... and in my own epilogue posts.

Thanks again for all the fun.
