DM Barcas - Kingmaker: Rivers Run Red
Game Master Isaac Duplechain

Made me jump there... And now I'm paranoid!

Heads 3d20 ⇒ (15, 13, 13) = 41

We can fight a hydra with 41 heads, but it better not be CR5!

And here I just thought Isaac was an Odyssey fan and has Scylla and Charybdis camping the ford there...

I'm just trolling because I don't have time today to make a real post.

Ha! An excellent pun sir!

Life update: I finished my semester's classes. My wife is finishing her tests to become a dental hygienist, and graduates tomorrow. I will try to get some posts up soon, but the graduation stuff is in the way of that.

Congratulations all round :)

Congrats on the school Sigz!

And welcome Celeador!

@Akiros: Thanks Akiros!

@Everyone: I just got back from a deployment and I am exhausted. I won't be posting much for a day or two while I take the chance to spend some time with my wife. But now that I have access again to Herolab it should be pretty easy to finish my wizard. I'll let you guys know when its done.

DM Barcas: Afternoon Isaac, I believe I am all done with Elsir. Feel free to take a look whenever and let me know if you want me to make some changes. I did not choose to pick up Mystic Past Life. There are other ways of getting access to divination and augury like Pathfinder Savant that I will work my way into eventually. The gold should match up. Because I took craft wondrous item I have a bit more get then wealth per level, but I didn't go overboard. I also have a lot of self crafted scrolls. I made sure to purchase all of my additional spells once at full price before adding them in (with the exception of my two free per level).

Vorduvai: I picked up craft wondrous item. I know there will be some overlap here, but I am thinking that I will pick up Craft Rings and then Staffs eventually. Elsir's patron is Yuelral so I'm thinking I am going to do something similar to your profile and describe the individual look of each item I crafted. However my items are going to feature more of a crystal and silver based motif.

Akiros: Thanks!

@Elsir - Hehe well I'm glad you did, because even though I'm intent on keeping up my ranks in Spellcraft, my score is going to lose ground to those higher item DC's later on.

I've always liked your flashbacks, Steven. One of the things I miss about Mists of Time is Shoto Imuri's rather elaborate flashbacks, like the one with the poison.

Klaigen Gladcoin - added to the NPC list.

I stayed up far beyond a reasonable time to catch up on Freedom of the Sea, but I will catch you guys up tomorrow. I will include an introductory post for our new elven friend as well.

Thanks boss! Now,.....,..,..............,.Gen Con?

Love the side-story Steven! Great new NPC too -- what's the tavern named by the way? I'm sad that it's a place Verik would probably never frequent, but if I had a less stodgy character I'd have him hanging out at Gladcoin's place!

Hmm...I dunno. Thank you for the kind words, though. I just don't want Nikilai to be a ragemonster one day and diplomatic genius the next.

Soon, gotta have that Charisma bumped, though.

Excellent and very impressive first post Elsir! I very much like the mage's elucidations on the true nature of time. Spot on, that. Seems like you've set up quite a challenge for yourself, though, if you plan on making all future posts as intriguing and intelligent as that one, eh? ; )

I've always found that diviners are one of the most challenging classes to play, in general, both for the Player and the GM. I look forward to seeing how this particular example all plays out.

Thanks Akiros! Considering how impressive some of the posts in this campaign have been I thought that quality of quantity was in order. =D I agree with you that playing a character with foresight should prove an interesting role play challenge but I am looking foward to it!

So I am getting a little rest after a killer - no pun intended - week. I've been working nonstop and full speed on a big case. I got hit with some tear gas yesterday when we brought a SWAT team to execute some warrants.

Eesh. Like you got caught in the radius of one that went off?

Rest up man.

I was upwind and three houses down. We fired six or seven rounds of tear gas into the house, then the wind shifted. (Later, I absent mindedly rubbed my eyes without realizing that I had enough exposure that a little was lingering on my hands. This was not a good decision.)

The case is still not public, but I will post a link in a few days when it is. It has been a brutal week. 80 hours of work from Tuesday to Friday. As it is mostly over, I am taking some rest before diving back in on Monday.

In other news, some of the bystanders were shouting that I (in my shirt, tie, and bulletproof vest) looked like the guy from Numb3rs. Kind of an odd choice to hear in the ghetto. Hasn't that show been off the air for a few years? I think the guy (Hotchner) from Criminal Minds would have come to mind, as it is the more popular show and I bear at least a passing resemblance to him.

Numb3rs is on Netflix, so it's available in total.

Sorry to hear about that Issac. Hope it wasn't too bad. But your post makes me wonder, what happened to all the people who were already downwind of the teargas before the wind sifted? As in, are all or many houses and people near the place you guys gassed also affected?
