Erea Eclipsed (Inactive)

Game Master Larkos

Before I continue on, the cowering woman thief person thing doesn't reply to my question? Wanted to confirm that before I do something in response to it

What's the ingame reasoning behind titles only for deities? Gonna invoke Erastil and wondering if using his actual name instead of title will mean something different.

It's a respect thing. As a paladin of Erastil, you may say his name. The superstition is about people people outside the faith.

If you are a lay believer, basically everyone in the party except Nikandros, you may say the name of your specific deity, especially in a teaching context, but it is ruder to swear by their name than by their title. "By Cayden's Crotch!" is ruder than "By the Hero's blade" for example. People would be more offended by the name than the sexual imagery.

For a Shelynite to say something even as mild as "By Abadar" in a room full of Abadarans is the equivalent of that person walking in a room and screaming "C$@~!" at the stop of their lungs.

The god won't smite you if you say their name. The onus is the believer. However, if you were to wear a holy symbol of another religion, expect discomfort.

That line of 16 and 17s for initiative for the bad guys...

That was a terrible initiative roll.

The Dice Gods have turned on me! Nooooo!

GM Clarification: Talking is a free action. This rule is strictly enforced. You may speak out of turn in combat. You may recite the entirety of Hamlet in a single sword swing. You may not interrupt the villain's s~%%ty, over-the-top monologues.

Villain monologues are one of the great joys of GMing.

Did Nikandros ever detect evil on the guards?

I did not.

Also, back from NH!

With a functional car.

And a lighter wallet.

Well, that was an obvious oversight.

Yay for functional cars!

Also seriously die roller??? Argh!

Hey, I haven't made my attack of opportunity yet! Stop skipping me!

It's about time those sacrifices to the sentient die god paid off.

Dammit sentient dice roller! I thought we had a deal!

It's about time those sacrifices to the sentient die god paid off.

Heaaaathens!

Heads up. GM Larkos is sick. He will not be able to post at all tonight and possibly not tomorrow as well. Sorry for the delay.

Sure, I roll a 19 when I'm only doing d4 damage.

Actually, Val, that's a crit threat. Roll again to confirm for double damage.

Whoops, misread the Slate Spider's block. Here's what really happens: Misfire on the first attack (still deals half precision damage). Subsequent attacks are done at -2 attack and damage. Damn nat 1s.

Yeaaaaaaaah, this is what I get for skimming posts. Anya, disregard what I wrote prior due to lack of sense. Go off the forthcoming new post.

Lol it happens. Let's hope my response to your new response is sensical as well.

And a general note. If it turns out you told us your name earlier Nik I'm just going to commit seppuku...

No we need your DPS!

Yeah, his name was mentioned when he first ran into you guys...just kidding. He hasn't been formally introduced yet.

I'm gonna move you guys along to the shrine if that's okay?

Sure

Fine by me

Sounds good

shore.

I am building a rudimentary map in Roll20. Does everyone have an account?

So how do we access this map then?

Here is the link I have. I think everyone has to join the campaign to see it?

That link goes nowhere. How do we join the campaign?

IIRC it needs an invite.

Here is the link to join the campaign on Roll20.

Link works fine for me. I'm in and whatnot.

I need everyone to make an account and join the campaign so they can see the map. I will be doing things like this in the future so make the account or be left out.

Hey can I ask why we have to put all the dialogue in bold? It just looks weird to me AND is kinda annoying to do since formatting on Paizo sucks balls. Hairy, sweaty balls.

It seems to be the standard on the forum. I find it helps distinguish the text and dialogue better. If the majority wants to change we can. I don't see what so difficult about Paizo's formatting.

It's just really tedious compared to the other site I RP on. As for the dialogue, I just find that it looks really weird when it's bolded like that? Like....really bad fanfiction or something. Might just be me, though.

So umm, what's the plan here? Are you (Larkos) gonna take us to the next "scene" and describe it, should we have our characters leave? Um, yeah. Basically I'm just confused lol.

I've been skittish about moving things along 'cause I don't know if anyone has anything to say. I'll move things along if there's no response by 10:00 am tomorrow (3/25).

In a combat scene (spoiler alert one's coming up), I will be a bit more lax 'cause everything's balanced based on everything being involved. But if you don't chime in during an RP scene then expect to be botted along.

Thanks for posting Nikandros and sorry about the post. I just had to.

Unlocked doors are a CR20 encounter.

Wow, we had incredible init.

Will I be able to tell which guard has taken the most damage from the fireball?

Pain is subjective. But you do know that Tarik shot guard 2 so logically he would have taken the most damage

I added some small setting details in the campaign info tab. Feel free to ask me any questions in this chat.

Unchained is out in hardback now. The PDF is going to be available on April 29th. I'm going to get it and everyone can have a look. The reviews are mostly positive and I am open to allowing people to alter their character along the new guidelines. Is anyone interested in doing so?
