Very sorry for my absence, but the house has been a freezing and dusty nightmare for the last few weeks. The builders have been very slow in getting things done and the trying to live a normal life under these circumstances has been nigh on impossible. At last the roofing in almost complete, as said most walls are down, but we are waiting for the weather to improve enough to have the rendering at the front done, before we can get the front of the house watertight. It goes rendering, balcony then windows and doors.
At the back of the house we are running the kitchen out of boxes as we wait from the kitchen room to complete its build and the kitchen installed. We have no work surfaces except for the top of the fridge and cooker. Hopefully we will have a kitchen installed by the end of February, the floor is down, just waiting for the water from the mains to be connected to the new pipework, which is being dug out now. 1st fit electrics done, now for plasterboards and plastering to be done, including the ceiling etc.
So life has been a bit rough, (not to mention my wife's car was written off when the wind blew my son's motorbike into it, looking to get another car very quickly).
It meant I stopped posting in all games and haven't been on the Paizo boards at all.
We are coming out the other end.
If you are still wanting me to continue in the game, I can start posting more regularly after the weekend.

Added spells will not be used until Stellan has some time to himself to do the right rituals.
DM- Tareth: The time has come to work out the details of Vinur's progression since it won't be normal. I'll post sometime soon, (not today) of my thoughts on the matter. I'm still organizing them.

2 days to bandit camp,
1 day resting
1 or 2 days to base camp where we left Vrag and Tam
2 day in and out of valley
6 or 7 days total by my calculations
Although it may have been only a day and a bit to the bandit camp I'm not sure, making it 5-6 days

As mapping/exploring involves taking longer and risking encounters/ should probably head straight back the way we came.
Mapping around Oleg's for security purposes is probably more important than mapping away from Oleg's.
Exploring an abandoned cabin can probably wait until we map back this way.
Andrei Avotrus |
You'll need to convince Andrei in character of skipping the cabin. He thinks it's likely that his Aunt lived there and the only thing that stopped him looking at it before was that we were on a quest from a god.
DM - Tareth |
Just a quick player count check. We've lost Imon and Udo and possibly Gorax. Stellan is out for a little bit, but will return. That leaves us with Warren, Anwel, and Andrei as currently active. I'm happy to continue with just three/four plus NPC's, however, if you all feel a couple more PC's would be useful I'm willing to open up recruitment for one or two more? Any thoughts? Did I miss anyone?

One of these days we're going to have more ex-PCs than NPCs kicking around. It looks like you've accounted for all the PCs we had when we took our leave of Thad, so I don't think you're missing anyone. Before deciding on whether to open recruitment again, I'd like to get a firmer idea of Gorax's status. As far as I remember, he asked to be NPC'd until he's able to post again, sort of like Stellan but more long-term. I'd also like to play out an encounter or two with the current configuration, just to see if it's workable.
Warren Kingeagle |
I would think we cannot leave space for PCs and recruit at the same time. We might as well continue with the group we have. We leave Gorax, Imon, Udo and Stellan with Oleg for now and keep their spots warm. When they return they can journey out to find us.
Looks like we bring Vrag and continue to explore around the trading post.
DM - Tareth |
Now that we are back at Oleg's, this would be the time to recruit one or two new PC's. I don't mind NPCing Vrag and maybe one other bandit, but I'd rather not keep up on all of the others. Like those who have left before, previous PCs would become settlers and if anyone decided to rejoin they could pick back up pretty easily.
Any class preferences or other thoughts?
Warren Kingeagle |
Well we are down to 3 active PCs---full arcane caster(specialist wizard) -- partial arcane caster with excellent fighting skills (arcane duelist bard)--full divine caster with excellent fighting skills (shaman-druid).
With Vrag as a melee frontliner we probably need another.
To cover our major holes, a trapper ranger or cryptbreaker alchemis (gaining trapfinding) and a cleric or paladin would be my recommendation.
Andrei Avotrus |
Personally I would go for two people. Let them know what we have but then just take the two best applications no mater what classes they are. If those two character push too hard on pre-established niches ask them to make some changes to fix that.
Can't Andrei teach Anwel detect magic?
Warren Kingeagle |
Most experienced players can construct characters to fit our holes. A martial character and a character with trapfinding are two requests that leave lots of options open. A trapper ranger can satisfy both.
Anwel Lossio |
Can't Andrei teach Anwel detect magic?
Not unless you've got a scroll of it, or a spellbook containing it, handy. You could help me research it, but it would cost 500 gp, would require me to pass both a DC 20 Knowledge (arcana) and a DC 20 Spellcraft check, and would take a week to accomplish. I could probably pass the checks, but that is time and money we don't have.
But it's not important. I only mentioned it as a perq.
DM - Tareth |
Hey all, if you have comments on which recruits you'd like to see join go ahead and either post here or send me a PM.
Just an FYI, one of those interested, Doc Watson, is interested in playing a chelaxian paladin. He is on maneuvers over the weekend and for the next few days. I gave him permission to get a final character later this week if we want to go in that direction.
Anwel Lossio |
I'll PM comments.
Couldn't send a PM to Anwel, not sure why.
Nor am I. My settings say I can receive PMs, and my inbox is nowhere near full. Just to be sure I'll delete a couple PMs.
Working on the assumption that the charter bearers are the other PCs, if this is not the case please correct me
All PCs are charter bearers, but not all charter bearers are PCs. Retired PCs, like Tityanna and Gorax, still have charters...I think.
Andrei Avotrus |
Just a quick heads up, I'm away this weekend. Additionally work will be very busy until the end of the month and I'll be away most weekends this month too. If I slow to respond please post for me.
Kallista I started to make notes, there is a link in my profile but didn't have time to do much and much of what I have done was from a privious games that was merged with this one a while back.
Warren Kingeagle |
I also planned to look at seeing if we can 'add' some of the parts of Brevoy to our control. It is far from their lands, and they may let us acquire it if we map it and settle it. Hence the plans to explore land outside our charter.
It is easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
Welcome to the group Phedre and Kallistra. We should be good to go!!! Sounds like we are leaving Kressle in charge when we leave!!!
Also looks like we are setting up a theocracy.
