I guess that's me. My AC is nowhere close to Tal's, but I can use my whip to harass and delay without provoking AoOs.
Ok! I think I found someone interested in playing a finger-wiggler. Supposing you rest for the night, is anyone doing anything or do we just pick up at sun down?
Also Arael would have healed you all up - No need to drink the potions.
Lorelei just has some flavour stuff to do. Going to work, working on assembling her printing press, razzing her 'sister.' We can pick right up at sundown and she'll do that in summary in her next post.
Nothing from Richard. He'll try to talk to Ailynn and any other women around here; Sherix will peck and annoy him when he goes too far.
So Lorelei and Richard will be doing 'normal' stuff. Tal & Mera?
Also I'll be having company for the next week so my posting might be slower.
Sorry guys...busy weekend but back now. Tal will take the day off to spend with Lily and also drop by the blacksmith to make sure it is running smooth.
Just letting you know I’m currently suffering from an intense bout of vertigo. I’ll try my best, but I might not manage to keep up with posting over the next few days. Feel free to bot me if needed (I have plenty more holy water to throw). Sorry for any potential hold up. And thanks for understanding.
Each set of papers is worth 300 gp.
Under these papers lie
-four potions of gaseous form,
-six potions of cure moderate wounds,
-six potions of lesser restoration.
A thin wooden folio sits on the bottom of the chest under the potions; pressed between its covers are several scrolls and sheets of parchment. Above, a teak wand case wedged into the locker’s lid contains
-a wand of restoration (13 charges).
-A key ring sits around one of the potion bottles—this key ring contains
The wooden folio’s contents are
-a scroll of clairaudience/clairvoyance,
-three scrolls of dispel magic (CL 10th),
-three scrolls of erase (CL 10th),
-a scroll of sunburst,
-a scroll of true seeing,
-and a piece of parchment. This parchment contains a short note from Liriam warning of fears that one of the Pathfnders may have become tainted by an evil artifact;
Tal would be interested in a potion of gaseous forma nd 2 lesser restorations if possible. The rest of the items I believe are beyond him at the moment.
A wand of restoration (not lesser) is impressive though. wow...
The restoration wand will help if we suffer negative levels. Richard has +11 UMD, so he could emulate an Oracle and use the wand that way. Mera and I should consider removing our Strength Damage, although it's not as bad as Tal losing Strength.
Sunburst will be very useful but requires 18 Cha to use as a Sorcerer. It's almost impossible for me to use it (I would need Heroism AND roll a 20 to pull it off.)
True for now. Eventually it will get easier for you and if we are going up against massive undead then we will want it eventually. Let's just hope we are not going to need it so soon in Delvehaven.
The good news is at level 7 Sherix will change and get a massive Cha boost (to 20), so she can use the scroll. I'll have an 18 Cha at level 8.
Mera has more than enough CHA at 21, but it has me wondering. Were Tal and Mera constructed under different build rules than Richard? His PB seems a little low compared to the both of them?
Richard was imported from another game that fell apart immediately.
Strength 13
Dexterity 14
Constitution 16
Intelligence 12
Wisdom 10
Charisma 17
Assuming a +2 Con for being human, and a +1 Cha at level 4, I have
Strength 13 (3)
Dexterity 14 (5)
Constitution 14 (5)
Intelligence 12 (2)
Wisdom 10 (0)
Charisma 16 (10)
That's a 25 Point Buy build.
Yeah Richard that is different I think. The original build was I believe something along the lines of 1 characteristic at 18 and then a 15 pt buy after that. It has been so long I don’t know exactly though.
Hey all...
I was invited by Briccone and can't believe my luck in joining you guys. I am working on converting my character right now but the crunch is a tower shield fighter willing to take the hits and protect everyone else behind him. I can't wait to get going on this AP. hope we all have fun and RL doesn't show up to ruin our fun as I want to make this campaign last for quite some time.
Am I correct that these are the character guidelines still?
CHARACTER CREATION
Level: 1
Race: Any, but clear it with me first. I would vastly prefer the PCs be one of the common or uncommon races in Cheliax. I will NOT accept the alien/sci-fi races without a backstory that is cinema-worthy.
Class: Any official Pathfinder, but I will allow 3PP material on a case-by-case basis, if requested. Again, subject top my discretion.
Max HP per HD
+2 skill points per level, one of which must be used on a social skill (One using CHA), Craft, or Profession
Bonus Feat at 1st level
1 Trait, plus a Campaign Trait, with the option to take a 3rd Trait if a Drawback is also taken
1,000 GP starting gold
Ability Scores: Choose one stat that becomes 18 before modifers, then another which becomes 08 before modifiers, then distribute 16 points amongst the other ability scores (Which are set at 10,) in any way you desire. You may reduce any of the 4 stats by up to -2 to gain a commensurate number of points to distribute amongst the others.
Found it...
Oh, I see now.
I'll have to retool Richard, then.
All,
Just an FYI ...
I am traveling for work for the remainder of the week. I should be able to reply ... just may be a bit delayed.
I forgot - do we have a pool of treasure? Or has Tal saved up enough money to upgrade his weapons?
I have saved up from previously. The loot list is the link in my header.
Ah, thanks Tal. All of those savings paid off.
Just want to say I am loving the role playing. You are all playing your roles so well!
It's been fun!
I'm headed to Vegas to celebrate my 15th wedding anniversary (woot!) tomorrow and won't be back until next week. I'll still check in, but if for some reason I'm holding things up please just bot me as a Chelish diva who is losing her mind and slowly giving in to Asmodeus ;).
My anniversary is tomorrow, but we're only celebrating for 1 day. Enjoy, Mera!
Happy Anniversary Mera and Richard!
My Anniversary would have been today, but I don't want to cast a shadow (beast?) over any festivities. :)
Sorry guys but exhausted and will post tomorrow
Wow! All of you so close together?! Happy anniversary guys!
How long has it been since the mayor house RichD. Need to know as well to figure how much the smith has made me.
Hello everyone. This weekend is Thanksgiving so I will very likely be unable to fit in a post. Please bot me if needed, and feel free to roll my Perception and Disable Device checks on behalf of the group. I’ll be back to regular posting on Tuesday. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you have a great weekend!
Perception: +13 (or +15 vs. traps)
Disable Device: +14 (or +16 vs. traps)
She currently is under Heroism which is not included in those numbers.
Happy Thanksgiving Lorelei!
And my apologies to Mera and Richard for missing your anniversaries. Congrats and may you have many more years of happiness!
And RichD, there is only room enough for one shadow caster in this here party! ;-)
I'm back and ready to get rolling! Thanks for your patience.
Okay...I submitted a post on the GM reference board for this AP and no response.
Therefore I am going to rule that a remove curse spell will restore Stryx's charisma damage, but also remove the bonuses.
Sounds reasonable and fair to me.
Okay, don't feel bad about pulling out your big guns. The frontline fighter is down, we've barely scratched this enemy, and 50% concealment is driving me insane.
Richard will use Mirror Images to stall for time and poke it with his wand of Cure Light Wounds. But his AC is nowhere good enough to actually tank.
Daylight spell may dispel the shadows it's using for concealment. And did we get searing light? Use it now!
Oof. I am not going to be much help here. Almost everything I can do it will negate. We need Tal back up.
Who has the daylight and seering scrolls?
The only light spells I have seen is the sunburst in the list of scrolls. I'll start plinking it with MM in hopes of drawing it back towards the other room where I hope to web it between the rooms.
I have been reading the COT obituaries and this thing has killed a lot of PC's!
I'm not surprised. +18 to attack vs level 5 PCs with 50% miss chance? This thing seems built to be crushed by clerics and nothing else.
Hey guys, I’m going to have a crazy busy weekend. It’s unlikely I’ll be able to post Saturday, and I definitely won’t be able to post Sunday. Sorry if I hold up the game. Feel free to bot me if needed.
Thanks!
I have 2 vials of holy water and a wand of Cure Light Wounds. I'll hold the fort!
*sweats nervously*
We have a couple of openings in our Legendary Planet game. We lost our mage and barbarian. I believe Stryx is interested in the Mage spot, but if anyone wants to play a martial character, PM the DM directly.
Haven’t looked into that one. What is the gist of it and would any martial character do or are you looking for damage dealer or tank?
Don't die Tal, or Caster the rat will eat your eyes.
Think of it as someone trying to kiss you again and you will go super powered.

Basically it started off in Golarian as a standard quest when the PC's were kidnapped by aliens in order to be experimented on so that E.T. can release a deadly virus that will turn the world into mindless servants. Of course we as the PC's escaped the lab and we now find ourselves on a strange world trying to find a way home. Lot of fun. I am playing a Ranger (Guide) who can deal damage, we have a bard and a druid and Stryx's possible mage. So a full on melee or a melee/caster would work.
So our kind and gracious GM has given us the opportunity to escape.
I say we take it, buy some new supplies, and try again a new day. Richard's protection just ran out, and this thing can 2-hit KO any of us.
We could probably whittle it down and kill it, but not before at least two of us died. No reason at all to stay right now. Retreat and resupply.
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run!!!
It was a unofficial house rule of a DM that used to run my tabletop game that if we said 'We are running for the hills!' he would let us without the baddie taking AOO's or pursuing us. Kinda like the old 80's GI Joe/Transformers cartoons. How many times did Cobra/The Decepticons retreat and Duke/Optimus Prime just stood there?
Fine with me. Never a bad idea to regroup if needed.
Ok as far as equipping ourselves, I'll admit I've done a poor job tracking equipment here over the life of this game. I know Tal has the equipment spreadsheet, but it doesn't really seem to have a section for "Loot Mera should have been paying better attention to".
As an aside, holy crap! In looking back, I can't believe Mera started this journey in December of 2014, four years ago! Thanks again for taking the game up when the original GM disappeared RichD!
I need to buy a mace.
I need a scroll of Mirror Image.
We need a scroll of Searing Light, it would have been perfect on this thing.
We also need to deal with its displacement somehow - a scroll of faerie fire, maybe?
it doesn't really seem to have a section for "Loot Mera should have been paying better attention to".
Yeah, maybe put those things on your character sheet this time. Haha.
As for supplies, Lorelei doesn't have much cash left from original character creation. She'll buy four holy water, two acid vials, a morningstar, and 20 blunt arrows. That leaves her with 156 gp she can use to donate to group supplies if you need the money. But then she's dirt poor.
Can anyone reliably use a scroll of faerie fire? What are the odds of it working with UMD? It's a nice affordable option, so we should try it. A scroll's only 25 gp.
Also, Lorelei's claiming from the group loot: one potion of gaseous form, two potions of cure moderate wounds to replace the ones she just used on Tal, and one potion of lesser restoration.
Random side note: Instead of fighting the triceratops, we have four potions of gaseous form. We could slip right by it.
