Hey! If'n I can keep 'em off guard their AC should be so low as t'make me hittin' 'em a no brainer. (^_^)
Guys.
I ain't coming back yet. But I will continue to watch and if I can sort my life out a bit would like to rejoin later. I will keep watching the thread.
Well done getting out of the Knot.
Your character is alive and you are welcome to come back.
The bugs are still effecting the PbP boards. Hopefully its fixed today, I am looking to add a few more NPCs that the PCs have met to the the Info Tab. Unfortunately, that tab has disappeared.
Sunny and JMAN take a look at the info tab when it reappears. You will see plenty of NPC that either have appeared in the game thread or are known by the PCs, pick a couple to add to your character background. This will help in transitioning your character into the overall story. Also, feel free to provide a name, brief description, and job of a couple others that you know this will help to personalize your characters.
The PCs have befriended a group of Dottari (the police) and its a good idea if you know one or two of those listed. There is well known money monger that reappears in the game. There is frequent brothel that PCs go to and Lucrezia works at. Gruum's armory is well known. Just as an example.
Talbard the Grey, is the proprietor of "Talbard's Wonderous Items - a small arcane magic shop
Two Fingers Pub - small tavern near that the Dottari like to hang out.
Quint's Arms and Armor - General Armory for basic equipment and arms, along with minor magical gear. John frequents here. There is Penelope - H/Elf (cute and flirtatious) sales clerk.
Alister Mchuffin - Calistria's high priest in the city. Andrea and Duncan know him.
Quincy Blackthorn - is the proprietor of "Fizzles" a potion shop. Wizard that wearsa grey robe and red hat.
Robahl Nonon- arrogant rude director. He is now friendly towards the PCs.
Delour Aulamaxa - arrogant aging diva that dislikes fellow actress Calseinica Nymmis.
Calseinica Nymmis - young actress, flirt with Orsin.
Thesling Umbero - constant thorn in the Orsin's side. his main competitor for Opera scenes. Rude.
Millech the Hump - stage techie, illusionist.
Aberian Arvanxi - Mayor and party host.
Crosael Simin Rasdovain - attractive majordomo on the mayor's manor.
General vourne - Commander of the Gemcrown Bay Imperial Fleet
Chammady Drovenge - Noble, daughter to the 1st Noble Family in Westcrown. Secretive.
Eirtein Oberigo - Noble, leader of the Oberigo family, he is always looking for information and opportunity.
Sascar Tilernos - Tilernos Noble family. Alcoholic and flirty.
Asmodeus is the only outwardly excepted Deity in westcrown. All other religions are underground.
The Mermaid's Grotto - A tavern and brothel. The first floor is dedicated to drinking and gambling and is poorly decorated to resemble someone's idea of an underwater scene including bare-breasted mermaids on a large mural behind the bar.
The second floor is several small rooms for rent by the hour, furnished with a bed and female companion.
The third floor are rooms rented by several of the people working at the tavern, Lucrezia included.
The owner is Alphonse Lourdou, a wealth shipping merchant who wanted to ensure his sailors had a good place to take their shore leave. And if the money he paid them ended up back in his pocket, all the better.
Feel free to introduce a couple extra NPCs that you know in town, perhaps from previous times in the city.
Janiven, she is one of the two NPC leaders, has been around basically feeling you out as possible supporter of "The Brotherhood of Westcrown" a group seeking to ride the city of corruption and the shadowbeast. Basically, everyone westcrown is massive city that bustles during the day but at nightfall, people shelter themselves inside. The Shadowbeast rule the night but the city is without obvious nighttime crime. You've had a few private conversations about the dreaded Shadowbeast and how they reign terror upon the people. Other Free Cities have activities throughout the day and night and are protected by the city guard.
You've done some research into Shadowbeasts. You know they are combination of shadow plane and/or undead creatures. Perhaps the result of spellcaster and/or what you suspect a vampire. I will give you a +1 knowledge of your shadowbeast knowledge which is based on your research.
Lady Elmira Pennington is the one who runs the dress/beauty shop(Past NPCs appear in the Characters tab.
Also there is a curfew in effect. Everyone gets in at night because Shadow Beasts haunt the streets after dark. Well lit streets are SB free but everything in alleys and other dark places are free game. Here is what we know about them.
Poisoned claws
'Spongy' resistant to physical damage
Look like cross between insect and crab thing
Do not like light
Some kind of chiling howl
Something we have been planning to do is try to fight one.
Things we can discuss also include what the beared devil told us about Donatalus Bisby and Ilnerk Sivanshin and the reason why the shadow beasts are around. link
Andrea thanks for the link. I just used the link and copied the history for a spoiler under the info tab.
I'll edit the name of the dress shop NPC now.
Duncan will take the +1cold iron battle axe if nobody else claims it.
Duncan deserves the axe..in a good way. :)
So once we sell things, we can divvy the gold.
Spellbook
Scroll of Contigation
Golembane Scarab
Wand of Rusting Grasp 5 charges
1582 GP each
I noticed that the game tabs don't appear until you post, then they show up. Interesting.
Andrea do you want to post your list of mysteries or possible side missions for the group to investigate?
Hunt a Shadow Beast
Spread rumors about the Grulios having a shipment arrive at the docks
Spread rumor that the Grulios have found the killer of their family and are bringing in a 'specialist' to deal with it.
Henri Stoutpour's murder is still unsolved. His 'business partner' might have a mysterious connection to it.
Punch out the thugs who threw an axe at Shinon and steal their booze.
Henk, leader of the Red Knives has a connection to the Drovange family. He met a represtintive at a tavern.
The Mermaid's Grotto - A tavern and brothel. The first floor is dedicated to drinking and gambling and is poorly decorated to resemble someone's idea of an underwater scene including bare-breasted mermaids on a large mural behind the bar.
I like the sound of this place and aye, it does seem like a fun place fer Sunny t'hang out at.
Andea1 had a list of people and such, but seems to have edited out away to some were out of sight. There were names and such there I was going to copy/paste. Shall try and find where Andrea1 squirreled that info away too...
Much cheers to all.
Look at Andrea's profile she has a several contacts there. Feel free to contact her for assistance. Also, look under the campaign info tab there are tons people listed there.
Sorry guys. I was crazy busy at work today. I will be available tonight and all weekend.
Thank you for the +1 Shadowbeast knowledge. I will add it to my crunch. I PMed you. How does all that sound? Do you have an idea about a familiar that would work well? If not, I'll stick with a regular one. How does the personality sound to you?
What would you think about me knowing the owner of The Mermaid's Grotto, Alphonse Lourdou, from gambling?
Sunny if I recall you are in Australia is that correct? Is there a time that you tend to be on line?
Getting back into the swing of Rp. Let us see how I can troll Orsin. ;)
Oh Nymmis! Your Lazard is awake!
Trying to help ya out here Andrea. :)
I wouldn't imagine some gold is what he is interested in, so may as well admit to that.
DOH!
Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have helped? :)
I'll let Orsin do the talking from now on.
Crunch and contacts added to new profile. I had to create a new one because the other one is corrupted (I can not edit the old one). Please let me know if I missed anything. :)
Faelyn looks good.
Looks like the board issues are now cleare dup
Sunny if I recall you are in Australia is that correct? Is there a time that you tend to be on line?
*Nods* Indeed. So, as far as I'm away, close to 'Tokyo;' time if that helps pin down my time zone for people.
ATM I don't have a fixed routine, so I am free-er to sift my board habits.
Much cheers to all.
Feel dree to drop into the Grotto anytime.
It looks like everyone has location. Sunny, Lucrezia, Faelyn are at the Grotto - mid afternoon. Sunny is at the bar, Lucrezia is getting hugged, Faelyn is playing cards.
Orsin is at a coffeehouse, John's at his training center, and Andrea is at work.
I have some morning errands, so I'll let some others check in.
I will be out all day.
Taking the little ones to the park, I'll check back in a couple hours.
Even with weekend errands and activities, it's nice to see the thread picking up steam again...!
Daughter's having her annual Halloween party tonight, so I'll be hit or miss most the day.
At coffee break but will be available all evening.
I've been given the boot from the house this evening as the Halloween party happens, so that means i won't be on till after 11 pm eastern time.
Ah, is she old enough that you embarrass her? :)
Ah, is she old enough that you embarrass her? :)
Yep.
ARGO was excellent by the way.

Nice. I am looking forward to seeing it.
I'll be checking out Skyfall
Nowadays I just wait for things to come out on video. Easier than finding babysitters.
I picked up Frog God Games, "Rappan Athuk" talk about a beastly dungeon crawl. So far, I have the PDF but I'm waiting on the 673 tome to ship. Just getting to the dungeon a death trap.
I have the 3.5 RAReloaded. It is far better to use it as a setting for missions rather than a huge dungeon crawl. For example, go in to ask The Oracle a question for anothe rmission.
You thinking of running it in rl or as a pbp?
I've never played it or run it before. Currently, I'm running kingmaker in RL, and this COT PBP game. I tried running a second PBP game but with work it bogged down both PBP games. I'll stick with running only one now.
Frog God is run by one/more of the founders of Necromancer games who made a number of 3.0/3.5 modules. Just check out necromancergames.com. The message board is pretty quiet these days but had a steady PbP section that unfortunatly imploded due to a messy 3 group mass battle at an evil temple.
Rappan Athuk is is very sandboxy and choosing bits to use for homebrews and modules is very doable.
I think I'd like to see somebody run the "We All Float Down Here!" module when it comes out. Just the name creeps me out 'cause I picture Tim Curry in clown get-up from "It".
I was running a second PBP post for while that was pretty hard. I added a pretty complex approach to the mansion, it killed Duncan's character. I just couldn't keep up the pace that I like.
That's right. My magus died before he could shine :(
Damn crits+grey ooze!!!
(I'm still watching)
That is what happens when Dms improvise!
*points to her previous link*

I gave you the +1 Battle Axe if you get back in the game. I have you looking after Gruum's shop right now, he'll need to attend to an out of the city errand.
I'm going to run one or two side missions before tackling the next module. Build up some RP and character development.
Sigh, poor Amaya. I didn't want to force it and I'm pretty sure Orsin isn't ready for that kind of intimacy. :/
