You guys have been busy!
Welcome aboard Rhialla.
Still reading all 60 of the new posts

Well, since I'm back, we should start moving at a good pace
@Chingo: you did fine RP Sabrik, he would be proud!
Sabrik |
I have a question, what progression of XP are we using to level up?
Magnes Coalbrow |
Experience in chingo's other game is on the Fast track.
I'd expect we are looking at about the same.
So unless we happen to find a hydra hiding around the next corner and defeat it it will be a little bit. Longer if we keep taking the darn 'Paragon' path and question orders to kill people for money. Darn drunk dwarf is a terrible mercenary.

Killing undead doesn't seem like a problem in itself, or have I missed something about the vampire you are hunting?
Sabrik |
Yeah, lawful good only works when fighting in denyible evil, like undead or random monsters.
Sabrik |
Also, my order requires that I try to calm the hydra and can't kill it unless there is no other option
Yay magical beasts!!!!
Sabrik |
Yes! Its not a vampire, it is in fact a dhampir, a half-vampire that isn't really undead
Rhialla Arken |
What do you mean? :)
Sabrik |
A dhampir is the child of a human and a vampire, they aren't truly undead. They may actually be quite the opposite.
Rhialla Arken |
Whoops, I meant in reply to the ....
"Yeah, lawful good only works when fighting in denyible evil, like undead or random monsters."
part. Ive got to remember to quote more
Magnes Coalbrow |
We were dispatched to
1. Recover the daughter of a noble
2. Kill the Half-vampire that bewitched her.
Problem is that
1. The daughter isn't bewitched
2. The Dhampir (Not undead) is a noble of the area and most likely innocent of the crimes our employer accused him of.
So being that our entire pay for the mission is based around returning the daughter home and decapitating the Dhampir at this moment it sounds highly like we won't be getting payed.
(Super secret) I have a plan in mind, but it isn't worth discussing until we find out the actual facts on the Eloped couple.
Fortunately Hydras don't die unless you kill them really really hard so you could just apply soothing Bhakiri massage to its face hole until it stops moving.
The fact it looks like you are punching it into submission to other races just shows how ignorant of your culture they truly are.
Sabrik |
Oh, yeah. Well being lawful good usually means you are palidan like. Which consists of things like no lieing, no using poison, no killing innocent people, no breaking the law.
Stuff like that. I prefer Chaotic Good, they have more freedom yet still are good. They do whats right whether the law says or not

I'm sure that still harms the hydra. Just because the head grows back doesn't mean its not in pain! Besides, I want to be able to ride a dragon later on. No Ronan for me!!
stupid ninjas
Magnes Coalbrow |
In situations where both can be balanced yes that is what a paladin will do. Thing is that when push comes to shove a Paladin prioritizes Good over Law. You will notice in the paladin class that they fall for taking Evil actions not unlawful ones.
So while a paladin might feel uncomfortable with going against her code it won't lose their powers like willingly letting evil prosper.
You might also consider asking Chingo if you could swap one of your traits for the Blade of mercy trait. As it would let you fight beasts and magical beasts without slaying them.
Because your order says this.
He can slay enraged animals and magical beasts only when attempts to calm or pacify them fail.
So you can still hurt them in order to subdue them. You just get them healed later. Non-lethal damage would likely help with that.

I like the challenge playing paladin's provides. Breaking unjust, evil, or misguided laws is perfectly fine.

2. The Dhampir (Not undead) is a noble of the area and most likely innocent of the crimes our employer accused him of.
Problems have a way of working themselves out. The daughter might not be bewitched but she could be there under false pretenses, and the dhampir might not be guilty of crimes the noble accuses him of, but most dhampir's embrace evil willingly and knowingly so he's probably guilty of something.
Or maybe since he is rich the Dhampir will have work for you and pay well.
Sabrik |
... Good point... But better safe that sorry. I'd rather kill the hydra anyways. I can easily just say that I have no way to calm them down because my allies attacked it before I could (plus handle animal doesn't work on magical beasts)
Sabrik |
I can't kill them without good reason because of my order
Magnes Coalbrow |
Well you can fill in with any creature highy likely to kill us all at the range of CR4-6. Slaying such a beast would be the only way we level up in the next little while.
And then there was the issue of Sabriks order.
Certainly not a suggestion that we fight such a creature as we would all die.
Also we are on the Fast EXP track yes?
Sabrik |
Great, I'm just wondering. By the way, I will apologize in advance if we come along any magical beast that kills us because I wouldn't let you attack it.(this will mainly be for griffon and such)
Rhialla Arken |
My order, has no such restriction... :P
Magnes Coalbrow |
*shrug* You will be disappointed if you think Magnes will listen to such a suicidal command. But hey we can cross that bridge once we have lit it on fire.
Sabrik |
Lucky you! I have some obligations to nature, but I bet you won't just go in and behead the innocent couple just for money! I can, hahahahaha... Sorry I'm just feeling like being weird
Sabrik |
Well... My character is a little unorthodox. He might, well he truly is like jack sparrow in heart. All about money, women, and booze!
Edit: with some honor, but not much.
Bhalur Blackthorn |
May I correct you
"We will have potential alcoholistic group".
The question is, do they provide AAA in Mythworld?
Sabrik |
Great question Rhialla. Now they have to explain who my horse is!
Rhialla Arken |
American Automobile Association?
Sabrik |
Alcoholics anonymous. Although I don't know why they have 3 a's
BTW: I'm sorry if I ninja you. Magnes was accurate when he said I post more than a spider with a jetpack.
Rhialla Arken |
Ah, typo. Alcoholics anonymous is just AA
Bhalur Blackthorn |
They dont :P The A is just for Mythworld-> Adventures Alcoholic Anonymous
Sabrik |
Ha! Great addition to the AA. I get that.... Great now I'm posting like how I normally talk... Ah well!
Magnes Coalbrow |
The archetype of Alchemist I am makes me run on Alcohol far as I can tell. So while you all might get liver poisoning I'll likely die if I don't get spirits into me at a decent clip.
Rhialla Arken |
The hangover might literally kill you Magnes. Stay vigilant!
Sabrik |
Can we skip the morning? I'm really pumped for our first combat!!
Magnes Coalbrow |
Yes I'm always vigilant to not let that cursed 'blood' taint my alcohol content too much. Damned bodily functions.
What combat? We have a cult to deal with. Lots of innocent easily killed people the paladin won't let you kill and greasy mystcaster ringleaders that vanish into smoke once you find them.
But there was a discussion of a hydra.
Sabrik |
... Yeah, my order cares little for not-nature
Rhialla Arken |
I doubt I can stop Sabrik from killing innocent people, but I hope we don't have to explore that route. I admit, I assumed the party was hero-centric when creating my paladin, at least one or two of you were good alignment if I recall.
I'd rather make a black lion or a witch character for a grey to black story where innocent life is nothing more than vocabulary no one bothered to learn. My friends tell me I play evil characters really well. :)
Bhalur Blackthorn |
@Chingo I just had to laugh at that. It made my day :D
Oh god, welcome to real PbP Rhialla :P Bhalur doesnt have anything against humans as long as they keep their stinky fingers out of his pouches. All for Nature and Dragons :) Human politics are a bit tiring although he has to endure it because of his affiliation with Dragon Matron
Magnes Coalbrow |
Befriending all the bad guys with the powers of alcohol and diplomacy.
No combat here everyone is to busy being drunk.
And yeah I'm hoping we don't end up killing innocent either. I've put Magnes as Neutral because I find the alignment system a stupid exercise.
But as a Player I'd prefer we keep to the heroic side rather than mercenaries out for coin or murders out for the smallest justification.
Sabrik |
Noooooooooooooooooo!!!
Magnes Coalbrow |
Combat actions. 1. take a shot (No really), try to provide an easy target/obvious target, ready my spear.
Magnes get bonuses for being drunk in combat, and his Longspear has the brace quality so double damage if something charges him.
Sabrik |
Sorry, I was out there, internet went down
inti: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Is it combat? Kill them!!
