This is Council of Thieves AP. Westcrown, City of Twilight, once was the center of Aroden's faith, but now it symbolizes despair. By day, the city remains a vibrant center of trade; but, by night only those with a death wish venture out.

Yep I have read it. Hopefully this will be the last time Andrea takes the stuff.

I just got back from Urgent Care, and I have a crippling case of bacterial gastroenteritis. Essentially this means I will not be posting today as I am wracked with massive abdominal pain, nausea and etc, and when that's not going on I am raging about how much pain I am in. So..see you guys tomorrow maybe.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Well darn. Get better soon Shinon.

Looks like Andrea's sewer scene foreshadowed your illness.

Whats with the really long and disturbingly sexual posts Andrea? You just bored or is there actually a point to this?.

@Baldwin should I be doing what Andrea is doing? Righting out a self narrative and taking control of NPCs to tell my own story? I could if you want that from us.


Male Human(Minkakian) Martial Artist lvl 2 (Int +4) (AC17)

I apologize if my last post sounded offensive. I was a little put off by the stuff I read.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Is there a way to delete those posts then? I apologise for offending people, I should have put that behind spoiler spaces.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger 3 HP 25/29, Initiative +5, AC 16, Touch 13, FF 13 CMD 16 Fort +4 Ref +6 Will +2

Okay, modern medicine is wonderful. I have returned. Sorry to keep you waiting!


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Welcome back. MOst everyone is back at the hideout with the captured bandit. We had the corpse examined at the morgue and got the identity of the victim. The group(sans Andrea) is being talked to by Janiven.

The posts don't bother me Andrea. Lengthy posts for downtime I like, since it allows tje.game to read like a novel and chars become people rather than a collection of stats that simply exist to go Combat/take stuff/Buy gear repeat!

Our downtime story posts bring alot in terms of narrative and while your stuff is racy at times it develops the character.

I may elaborate on why Duncan is so Punisher/Wolverine whenit comes to killing for example.

Maybe spoilers though...


Evil GM

Lengthy narrative posts don't bother me especially in downtime but remember this is a public forum. Andrea certainly is developing the character's background, just tone it down sexual references a bit. As far as drug use, PF provides rules for addiction and I've taken control of that issue through spoilers. When it doubt put it in spoiler for the GM.

I did ask everyone to provide with me three NPCs that you have met in the city. The purpose was to develop each character's background and it serves as a vehicle for the GM to convey information to the players. As an example I've done that through Nathaniel, the morgue worker, Gruum, the smithy and others. I don't have an issue with Andrea using Tracy to convey certain character information but generally, that is my job to control NPCS. When in doubt send me private message or ask me in a spoiler.

I provided Andrea the option of changing deities, to tweek her character, the only thing I would suggest is that there be a prayer to the new deity then I will assume control from there.

I really like the novel format rather than combat, loot, buy stuff collection. I enjoy the roleplaying aspect and developing the story in small stages.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Thank you, I will keep what you said in mind when making future posts.

If it wasn't obvioius, Calistria was speaking through Tracy as her 'pitch' to Andrea. Tracy is a riff on the 'Irish/British' type; coarse, but likeable. While she would go on about 'Get yer head on straight!', 'The path curves away and now is the chance to step onto it for a new way' would have her going 'Wut are you talken about?' :)

Alright

Thanks for the info. So should I retool domains and abilities?


Evil GM
Andrea1 wrote:

yes, make the adjustments. I need to think about the favorite weapon though and what do about that. Its not as if you wake up knowing how to use a whip while simultaneously forgetting how to use a scythe. Your alignment works since you are true neutral. Urgathoa is NE, Calistra is CN. You have been playing Andrea N, with a good tendencies.


Evil GM

To the group - if you want to tweak your character's backstory, focus, alignment or what not, this is the time to do so. Send me message in a spoiler with your request and we can see about the changes. Let's try not to have complete redo's; however, everyone should have a character they want to play that fits within the game.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Well Andrea does have that scourge in her room that she kept around to discipline herself so it could feel more natural in her hands.

good point. I'll permit that change.


Male Human(Minkakian) Martial Artist lvl 2 (Int +4) (AC17)

I have been horribly disappointed by Kenji's lack of story and character depth. I really wish I had spent time to further develop him than I did.

I am also sorry if I came off as a jerk to Andrea's posts and character. Her character behavior hits too close to home and it has brought up a lot of painful memories. I will try harder to ignore it.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

I will keep that in mind and be more respectful of the other players and keep anything mature behind a spoiler.

I do like the conflict between Duncan and Kenji and that is something to build on. The compassion Kenji showed Andrea in the sewer was also a nice touch.

Since Andrea is about a day ahead of the others (Went to bathhouse and slept through the night) I will use the time to retool and others to flex their writing muscles.


Evil GM

Kenji if you want to add a little color to your backstory go ahead and do so. The fear of horses, getting lost in the city and Janiven are fun to playout.

You could add some names and descriptions to the dockworkers/laborers and the tavern owner Kenji has met. Remember, I have mentioned caravan and shipping interests with several noble families in the game thread. Knowing a dockworker, warehouse worker, a merchant/brewer would work into the overall story.


Evil GM

Shinon Only:
In your description of Roy you mention he has been adopted by a noble human family. The noble family is that also the Bransen family?

Spoiler:

Not at all. Roy is in a completely different house, one that Shinon has no real interaction with. He meets Roy when Roy is in the city, or when he goes to the estate and tells them he's Roy's archery tutor (his family knows and has approved, they just don't like to actually talk to Shinon face-to-face).

Andrea updated with new domains and abilities.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Somehow I doubt the LG aligned clerics will approve of Shinon's actions. :)

if Andrea was there, she could stroke his face and remind him of the lovely words they shared.


Evil GM

LG would hate to see the guilty go unpunished. If he is in fact guilty. Although a LG cleric would not have a secret organization that challenges certain lawful authority.

Arael actually plays out closer to NG than LG.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Holy smokes! I have to look into this whole 'Spit' weapon. WF:Spit, WS:Spit. Maybe trip people by spitting under their shoes. :)

Best hold him back Kenji,John. Shinon is about to go nuclear!

Two crits in a row? Well played, GM, well played...


Evil GM

I couldn't believe it...the dice bot likes this roleplay.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Time for Duncan to go all wolverine on him.


Male Human(Minkakian) Martial Artist lvl 2 (Int +4) (AC17)

Thanks Andrea. Spoilers will be a fine compromise. I appreciate your understanding.

You guys may have took off with out me. I was really hoping to play a role when the bandit awoke but I guess you guys weren't willing to wait on me.

As far as Kenji's backstory goes, Hold on to your hooves! I am about to be brilliant! It'd be a first but I have quite the backstory concept I'm going to try and toss together. I will try and keep up with the posting, as I had mentioned, I have fallen behind an area I wish I had more of a role in and am not sure how to interject now. But Kenji will now have closer connection to this bandit than before.

I will work on the backstory adjustments and try to keep up. They are some pretty significant adjustments and my changes how I continue to play. Plus I hope there will be something the GM can work with there too.

Excellent! I hope that with your expanded backstory you can get more enjoyment out of the roleplaying aspect of this game like the rest of us are.


Evil GM

Kenji the bandit is awake and tormenting Shinon with deadly accuracy with his spittle feel free to join in.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Good place for Kenji to defend the bandit from the abuse? Wait, Shinon is the one getting abused...


Evil GM

This has the making of a Monty Python movie...Attacked by the deadly spittle. Come back here I will spit you to death...


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

If Andrea was here she would tell the bandit they are deciding wether or not to kill him depending if he and his gang were the ones hacking up all those people, and if they wern't maybe they can help each other.

Que Sera Sera.


Male Human(Minkakian) Martial Artist lvl 2 (Int +4) (AC17)

Well I did my best with the posting. After reading it, I'm not sure it will come off as I intended. But there is a glimpse of my new backstory. Fits many of my character's recent ideals.


Male Human Fighter(Tower Shield Specialist) 6/ Hellknight 2 +5 int, AC 26, Touch 12, FF 25, Fort +8, Ref +4, Will +5 HP66/82, Perception +12

I had such plans for how John was going to get the informstion from the bandit, and then Shinon went and ruined it.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

More private messaging so we can share ideas. :)

Awesome roll Kenji

What sinister plans did our Hellknight to be have?

My apologies. Hopefully the information will still be salvageable.

At least John has a helmet and is spit-proof. :)


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

So, let him walk or harvest for XP?

I am currently waiting for John to post. It's his action. I took two actions, Kenji took 11, so we should wait for John now.


Evil GM

I'm waiting for John's action too. He mentioned had plans to get infromation from the bandit. Plus, Janiven and Arael have not interjected themselves yet.


Male Human(Minkakian) Martial Artist lvl 2 (Int +4) (AC17)

I had my hopes that maybe at this point he would merely be unfriendly. Maybe I should have intimidated him. DC to gain results is a lot lower.

Sigh, I was kind of hoping to make this guy another disciple in the Kenji school of reformation but short sighted character development might not allow it.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger 3 HP 25/29, Initiative +5, AC 16, Touch 13, FF 13 CMD 16 Fort +4 Ref +6 Will +2

It's strange. You rolled a 21. The DC for reducing someone from Hostile to Unfriendly is only 20+Cha. This guy doesn't seem particularly charming either, I'd peg him as having 13 Cha at most, so you should have succeeded...well, maybe you did, but even then you'd only move him to unfriendly...

Ah well. You can't save them all, Kenji. At least now we know what you're doing, so don't worry, Shinon will give you room to try and reform from now on. I'm sure you'll get a large response as the game goes on. :)


Evil GM

The DC to reduce someone from Hostile to Unfriendly is 25+Cha.

So it is. I think I must have scrolled down the page and cut off the top part of the chart by accident when I looked it up on the PRD before.

Hope my post wasn't too real for anyone. Not sure of any torture rules the game has, so I'm drawing from my own experience (did a course.playing enemy for army interrogators-really is amazing how co-operative being super tired an hungry makes you.

As for alignment issues anyone may have- read up on Ragathiel. He was born to an Archdevil and Elemental lord of fire. He is good but not nice.
Both Punisher and Wolverine are good. So is Duncan.
They all WANT a nice happy world, love thier friends and family and would never harm an innocent (well, MAYBE punisher would) but Wolverine and Duncan wouldn't.
Just sometimes good people do bad things.

Also keep the game world in context. Life is pretty cheap in a place like Westcrown and with stuff like REAL live devils in the streets. Common Slavery. Gladiatorial pits. Nex, Geb etc
Life is pretty hard in a world like that. A REAL torturer would do FAR worse than what duncan suggests
