Letting everyone know my boss is in town this week (surprise, surprise!) and it looks like I'll be working some pretty long days all week. I'll try to get posts in when I can, but will be tough. I apologize for the short notice I also suffered from. Please bot me in combat.


{HP 15/15 | AC13 T13 FF10 CMD13 | F/R/W 1/4/2 | Init +3 Per +1 S.M -1 }Female Wizard (Manipulator) 3 XP: 5229

Sorry about the sudden disappearance. I'm back now and caught up. Also fine with moving on.


Just to give everyone a heads up. I am going on holiday from Saturday until Monday the third of February.


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

Cool, have fun, So there will be no posting next week then right?


Yes I am gone for 9 days.


Female Human Bard(Negotiator) 2

Gonna be unable to post till Sunday. Bot me if need be.


Female Human Bard(Negotiator) 2

Ok folks, I am sorry but due to life I am going to have to bow out of all games. I really am sorry.


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

no worries it happens hope things get better :)

RL is a pain sometimes. Good luck , Adriana


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

Maybe the cardinal will have another Bard for us :)


Since the adventure path is written for 4 I was just considering going on with just you and not replacing.


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

Sounds fine :)


Inactive

I'm good with that.


{HP 15/15 | AC13 T13 FF10 CMD13 | F/R/W 1/4/2 | Init +3 Per +1 S.M -1 }Female Wizard (Manipulator) 3 XP: 5229

Works for me.


Male Halfling (HP: 29/29; AC: 16,t14,ff14; F +3, R +5, W+ 8(+10 vs fear) Witch 6

No complaints


I am not fond of player deaths, but this adventure kicks into gear now and showdowns with bosses might kill you, so be warned.

And Drogan why do you have con 6?


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

I just need to survive to become undead. Con was my foible and The Bitten feat took it down 2, what can I say Crits change battles pretty drastically at low level. Just think if I would have walked in lowered my spear and challenged him when I rolled the 20. I'm sure 3d8+21 would have shortened this fight. :)

I'm heading into a very busy April at work. Will try to post, but my posts will probably be shorter and less frequent. Do not hesitate to bot me. Will be back to normal in May.


{HP 15/15 | AC13 T13 FF10 CMD13 | F/R/W 1/4/2 | Init +3 Per +1 S.M -1 }Female Wizard (Manipulator) 3 XP: 5229

So this morning my computer decided to go all screwy on me. I didn't have time to troubleshoot so I'll be looking at it tonight. I'm hoping it's something minor but wanted to give a heads up if I don't post that's why.


Please pick one trait below or feel free to suggest your own and we'll work on that.

“Asmodeus is with you.” Adrastus Thorn indoctrinate you into the deeper mysteries of worshipping the Prince of Hell. Whenever you channel energy, you gain a +1 trait bonus to the save DC of your channeled energy.

“Deception is a tool. Master it.” Adrastus Thorn teaches you the subtle arts of deception and how to sense when they are being used against you. You gain a +1 trait bonus to Bluff and Sense Motive.

“Discover what is real and what is illusion.” Adrastus has taught you to see through deceptions and to never lie to yourself. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against illusions.

“Fear nothing save our dread lord.” Adrastus Thorn has shown you fear and taught you to master it within yourself. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against fear effects.

“Focus strengthens your will.” Adrastus Thorn drills you on ways to avoid magic that seek to take control of your mind and divert you from your mission. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against charm and compulsion effects.

“Let us perfect your favorite spell” Adrastus Thorn drills you again and again in the use of one particular spell. Pick one spell. This spell’s effects manifest at +1 caster level.

“Wear your armor like a second skin.” You have drilled extensively in wearing armor in combat. When you wear armor of any sort, reduce that suit’s armor check penalty by 1 to a minimum check penalty of 0.

“You shall be my angel slayer.” Adrastus thorn spends exhausting amounts of time teaching you about good celestials, their strengths and weaknesses. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Knowledge (planes) checks about good-aligned celestials and receive a +1 trait bonus to any damage roll you make against them.

This training will be written out as a montage, feel free to suggest elements you would like to have included


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

Asmodeus is with me of course :)

Drogans training will consist of unleashing all his waves of evil over Timeon each day and healing him back up letting the evil just constantly wash over him, breaking him again and again. Hopeing he eventuly turns to the "Dark Side" :)


I am going to include some time with Thorn and some group training also.

@Drogan - It is going to take more than this to break Timeon, but it is a start. Are you considering him for the leadership feat?


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

Maybe if he sticks around that long. For now Drogan sees it as a challeng and a sweet sould he could deliver to Asmodeus if he corrupts the boy. My plan of attack is to force him to indulge in sinful activities. Through charm person.

Lust: He will asked and made to have sex with the slaves.

Gluttony: He will be given food and wine in excess and forced to partake while hungry and starving slaves watch. He will then be forced to throw the leftover out and away in front of the same slaves.

Greed: He will be allowed to give slaves bread, water and other things they need only to take it away again under compulsion.

Wrath he will be forced to whip, torture and even kill a slave here and there.

Envy is tough. Maybe if the Cardinal would help on this one. We could do a daily speak with dead and keep Sir Balin's body around so that Timeon could ask and learn that he is with Mitra for his service, maybe he would Envy the release of death.

Pride will have to be a lesson taught each day. The lesson being that Timeon is holding to the worst of sins, Pride. Meaning that if he would only give in and condem himself and give up his foolish worship he would save all the slaves that he is being forced to do horrible things too. Now if he does happen to finally give in a few slaves would need to be set free (or at least appear to have been and killed out of sight.)

So that will take up more time as well.


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

Anyone remember how we did HP?


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

HP: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Found it in old post. Looks like it was half HD+ the other half so you get minimum of half +1 up to full.

Any chance of retraining. I would realy like to give up smoke subdomain for just the fire domain. The smoke is kind of lackluster and the fire bolt would give me a range option plus Asmodeus loves fire. Thanks.


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

oh, got another sinister idea. Going to have Zull my new Imp familiar come to Timeon frist it will be invisible using bluff to sound like the voice of Sir Balin. The imp will lead Timeon to believe that Balin is not with Mitra but condemed to hell with Asmodeus. The only way to be free is a soul for a soul and one that is given willingly. It will beg for Timeon to turn on Mitra. This will go on daily as well as it coming to him as a rat, give the boy something to talk to in his isolation. Once the boy feels it a friend, Zull will show his true self explaining to the boy that he summoned him and this happed because he is falling to Asmodeus. See how he likes this wambo-combo

Sorry, I've been ill so I've fallen behind. I'm really not sure which I like best. The ones that allow bonuses to certain saves sound like they might appeal to Randu's pride, but the stealth and init options are also big.

Any suggestions from the party?


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

I don't know how much stealth will come into play. I will never be good at it and I just got an Imp familiar with invisibility at will on itself only and it can change into a boar, rat, raven or giant spider. It can handle stealth and scouting stuff. Going first is great I'm a +1 so I will normally be last ish. +2 save vs charm and compulsion is pretty big and I would most likely take that on melee types. In the end up to you. Whatever you want your character to have :)


Drogan you are right about hp. I am not sure where I stand on the retraining part. What would be your ingame way to handle the change?

Randu as I wrote I am willing to work on other more personal traits with you.


Inactive

@Randu - you can't go wrong with initiative. But if you want to team up with Erodin doing stealthy stuff, that's cool too.

Erodin will go ahead and learn to Strike First. Maybe he'll be able to hit something if they're just standing there, flat-footed. :P

HP: 1d5 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

Either with the Cardinals help, well if he is a cleric and has the fire domain. If not it would be through visions of how pleased Asmodeus is with the corruption of the inocent Timeon. He starts showing visions of the smoke being less and less as a flame starts to build in his hand eventually turning to these small balls of fire. It is kind of lame I know, but I can't think of a better way. The mechanics under retraining only provide the mechanical guidlines and I don't think this would work at all if the Caridnal is not a cleric.


Male Halfling (HP: 29/29; AC: 16,t14,ff14; F +3, R +5, W+ 8(+10 vs fear) Witch 6

I've decided to go with “Focus strengthens your will.” I think Randu likes to think of his will as his own, or at least strong (And with his wisdom, it is) but that would be a big bonus to him


Al right all we are missing now is Lyrysa's choice. Randu and Erodin do you have any considerations you would like me to add for the writeup?


{HP 15/15 | AC13 T13 FF10 CMD13 | F/R/W 1/4/2 | Init +3 Per +1 S.M -1 }Female Wizard (Manipulator) 3 XP: 5229

Computer is fixed. I'll be catching up over the course of this week to get caught back up. Apologies for the delays.

I'll figure this out shortly, Big Om.


Inactive

I'm up for anything when it comes to a training montage.


Male Halfling (HP: 29/29; AC: 16,t14,ff14; F +3, R +5, W+ 8(+10 vs fear) Witch 6

I don't see Randu being very forgiving if embarrassed by his training. Other than that, I'm not sure


{HP 15/15 | AC13 T13 FF10 CMD13 | F/R/W 1/4/2 | Init +3 Per +1 S.M -1 }Female Wizard (Manipulator) 3 XP: 5229

Hit Points: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Rolling hit points quickly to get that out of the way. I plan to level tonight.

Regarding the trait, if I may suggest one for me?

"Walk amidst the unfaithful" Gain a +1 trait bonus to disguise checks and disguise becomes a class skill.
________________________

Regarding the montage.

Aside from reminding that even Rocky had a montage (bonus points for reference!), I'm feeling that Lyrysa might be looking at other forms of magic. I definitely felt pretty useless down there overall, what with all the things immune to mind-affecting. If you'd want to include anything like that, please feel free. I'm not 100% sure what spells I'll be taking this level. I've got invisibility from the Warden's Spellbook, so that's good. And Hideous Laughter (Yay!). One will be an enchantment spell of course, the other probably something a bit more combative. Maybe Scorching Ray.


I am not going to have time to write it up to night, hopefully tomorrow. Didn't you get enough xp to level also?

@Lyrysa That trait is fine by me.


{HP 15/15 | AC13 T13 FF10 CMD13 | F/R/W 1/4/2 | Init +3 Per +1 S.M -1 }Female Wizard (Manipulator) 3 XP: 5229

not sure if you were going to answer it in the write up or not, but any word on changing from smoke domain to fire? Thanks.


I'll allow the retraining.


Male [ HP:69/69 | AC:22 T:12 FF:20 |, Per. +11 F: +7 R: +5 W:+8 | Init +6 | CMB +7 CMD +18, EXP:5834

your the man. Thank you sir. Time to Burninate the Villages ;)

Sounds good


Inactive

Nice.


I know it has been some time since I promised you an update, but every time I sit down to write I loose all motivation.

The montage is supposed to include your training alone and together with the cardinal and Tiadora as well as how you get certain features like your imp Drogan.


Male Halfling (HP: 29/29; AC: 16,t14,ff14; F +3, R +5, W+ 8(+10 vs fear) Witch 6
