Black Tom's Whispering Cairn
Game Master Black Tom

Bubba will upgrade to a cloak of resistance +2 and a headband of charisma +4

I'll be on vacation until Jan 29.

I don't think the party has the funds for the 5000gp diamond for Raise Dead, so Valgrim might be dead for awhile.

Feres has 2,697 gp, 7 sp, and 2 cp that he can donate to the cause.

Plus we could open a food stand in Wolfstone and sell black dragon steaks...

My records show that Vug alone has over 4,000 gp. I don't think money is a problem.

My records have Vulcan at 5102g + another 300 in gems,(haven't really bought much yet) I think we're good.

Ah, 5000 gp is not much to pay for making a plot point. Just go ahead and spend your money on the Restorations.

My soul is waiting for Friar to rest and cast Raise Dead! ;-)

Sorry about the delay. Consider the spell cast! Welcome back from the dead!

We haven't heard from Bub or Vulcan for a while. I hope they're okay...

I'm back sorry a lot of chaos. Should be sttled more now.

Friar, Bubba, Vulcan...BT is waiting for your actions in the main thread.

BT, this is a quote from James Jacobs on the messageboards dated January 2010 regarding FoM and paralysis:

Paralysis is paralysis, no matter what effect causes it. Whether it's from a supernatural attack, a spell, a poison, or whatever... if it causes the condition of paralysis, freedom of movement will negate it.

Yeah, I was going to rule that way. It seems pretty clear to me.

There's a reason I think it's the best spell in the book!

Guess BT must be busy moving..

Sorry, moving really took a chunk out of me. Hope to be able to post something this afternoon.

Ha, I think haste is the best spell in the book, too bad Bubba is unable to cast it right now...

Sorry guys, internet access is spotty at the moment. Haven't got my new broadband to work and the computer at work is ancient. Also work is crazy and partner has come down with lumbago. Talk to you soon.

I'm going to be out of town for the next 3-4 days. My internet access will be sporadic at best, but I'll try to check in if possible.

Vug whispers to the black pudding: "Hey good looking! We'll be back to pick you up later!"

HA! I remember those Mr. Microphone commercials!

just hopping on here to say I've been enjoying this PbP for a while now, a few of the others I would read have sadly died off, but nice to know Valgrim's Vanguard is still running rampant.

Cheers

Thanks, Z, for the kind words. We try to make it fun for all! :)

Most of the credit for the game's longevity goes to Black Tom. He definitely knows how to move a game along and not give up!

Thank you. I've taken a leaf out of Orcus's book: "Less chatter, more splatter". But seriously, I've had many games fold on me, and I sure couldn't have done it without you being immensely helpful and patient.

BT, anything magical in corridor? How about Perception check?

When we rest, I imagine, these will be the 9th level ranger changes to Valgrim:

Valgrim will spend 3 hero points and roll twice for leveling:
1d10 ⇒ 2
1d10 ⇒ 9

Feat: Lightning Reflexes
Ranger ability: Evasion
One extra 1st level spell to memorize
BA +1
Will save +1

More alchemist levels, naturally.

hit points: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Okay, Valgrim started with 9 hero points, used 3 on the re-roll and then received 1 HP for saving Allustan so total now = 7.

HP = 113
Current spells memorized: Lead blades, resist: energy x2, Hunter's Eye
BA hit +11 so got 3rd attack on full-attack
Profile updated and of course, got evasion! Sweet!

Level 12 Cleric

Rolling for HP: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Bard 11

hp: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Still at 10. A about 5k to go

I meant to say I'm taking Level 11 as Cleric.

Of course, if we reach Level 12, I'll take that as Cleric as well...

I've finished updating Vug. I finally caved and took the Fast Bombs discovery, so she should be able to throw three or four at a time now.

Trying to decide on my 11th level feat. What do you all think of Divine Interference?

That's a pretty sweet feat, although it's a bit clunky to use in a play-by-post game, just like any immediate action effect that sort of "rewrites history". The other feat that I was looking over recently was Channeled Revival (use 3x channel energy uses to cast Breath of Life).

That was my thought exactly with an immediate action effect in a PbP game. Hadn't seen Channeled Revival - that's a pretty nice feat as well, and easier to use in a PbP. I may go with that if no one has any other suggestions.

I agree, making GM re-roll and altering everyone's actions does not work well in PbP.

Yeah, "Dagger of Time" style effects are great at the table but can be pretty problemating with different people posting at different times.

Vulcan, did you level yet?

Pretty much. We can go ahead while I finish up. Need to select a feat.
HP 1d6 ⇒ 1
Spending hero point
1d6 ⇒ 2
Lats try
1d6 ⇒ 4
Better. 2 hero points used.

Ok leveled

Feat: Sorcerous Bloodstrike
+1 to Intimidate, Knowledge Arcana, Spellcraft
Spells added swap Rain of Frogs (what was I thinking?) with Aqueous Orb, added Air bubble, Resist Energy, Vengeful comets, Protection from Energy Communal, Fickle winds (haven’t been paying attention to spells known as I was leveling these last few levels.) Also gained Overland Flight as bloodline spell.

Mix of heavy offence, spells useful to the group. Vulcan is locked and loaded ready to nuke whatever comes next.

Note that it costs three hero points to get to roll twice for hp.

Ok will adjust total
