Aww Naralesh... If Edric had been there you would have been saved... :)
P.S. Hey! :D
Oh! It's you. How did I not realize?
Sadly even with Edric there there was nothing you could have done. I got brought to negative con score (dead outright) in one blow. It's one reason I absolutely despise level 1 fights, heh.

@Vicenzo: I'm wondering how will you want to 'fluff' your hexes... To an old and classic witch, cackling would fit perfectly but what about you? Would you like to change it so 'profane and disturbing words' or a howl or anything else entirely? And what about Evil Eye and Slumber, any ideas? Just trying to figure out how to better portrait and describe Vicenzo's actions!

Let me think about. I just posted and it was 'bland' so we have to do something.
How about if I curse them like invoking evil deeds, evil acts, etc.?
They may sound all the same but I'll let you know mechanically what I am doing.

However it might look in-universe, I absolutely love the flavor of literally "spewing your evil" on them, like evilness is a tangible, disgusting thing. It's very evocative.
Evil eye is an easy one to fluff - your gaze just inflicts some torment on their body. A "voodoo doll" fluff might not be appropriate for Vicenzo, but maybe something a bit similar like some kind of stand-in for your targets?
Instead of cackling, what about retching? Vicenzo seems to be tainted to his very core with some primal, evil corruption. What if it tried to burst free from him like vomit or dry heaving?

That may work. In my 10-minute background, one of the concepts is: vomits evil from the inside (I will use spells like web bolt, adhesive spittle, mudball, vomit swarm, etc and fluff others as coming from inside of him and he just spits them out)
So my cackling may be Vicenzo dry-heaving. We'll go with the disgusting for now. Let me know if I overstep myself and start offending people.
Game on!

@Ahreni: Sure, no problem about the punching dagger.
Just waiting to see who will be departing to Longacre and who will be sleeping in the Ash House... right now it looks like Anarxos and Marcellus are leaving and Ahreni, Cimri, and Vicenzo are staying. Not sure about Satin/Melani though.

If available, the Ash House sounds excellent for Vicenzo. Where was he staying in Longacre anyways?
Anarxos Voralius |
Anarxos will change his mind if the rest of the group chooses to remain at the Ash House.
Satinius Del Pierre |
Satin is not really a party animal; but this is a good opportunity to get to know a little more of some of the party. Its going to take time for us to feel anything like at ease with each other. We probably function better in combat.
Cheers

To them moment, I distributed you across the city according to your backgrounds:
Ahreni: since she was saved by Cimri, she is staying in the Ash House;
Anarxos: is staying at The Arch and Lark since he is sort of the nobility;
Marcellus: since he is a local, he has a house a small house near the wall on the northeast side of Longacre (observe that the map points north to the left);
Satin: not a member of the nobility, Satin/Melani was staying at the Last Stand Tavern, the most popular tavern in Longacre;
Vicenzo: since he is running from his previous boss and has a gold, I believe he could be renting a room from some resident, this way he would stay out of sight from anyone looking for him.
There is no need for neither Anarxos nor Marcellus to change their actions.
I've added a couple locations to the Longacre map. Will update it as you 'discover' new places.
Ahreni, Fallen Angel |
Quick question - why is Ahreni being referred to as 'angelblood'? I didn't think anything had happened to give away her heritage yet... unless she has a particular 'smell' that evil clerics can detect? ;)
Satinius Del Pierre |
Yeah - me bad you have a similar trait to Satin and can pass for human, so scratch that angelblood remark.
Cheers

Hey guys, just to let you know, I've started a recruitment for Reign of Winter if any of you are interested!
Anarxos Voralius |
Sorry for missing my post yesterday. It was my 26th birthday and I got carried on by the preparations for a Mexican themed commemoration (to cook all the stuff...).
Happy birthday, GM Advocate!
About Reign of Winter I would have loved to apply, but unfortuntately I don't have enough time to devote to another decent application right now. This AP is one of my favorite, simply one of the best Paizo authors ever wrote (apart from part 3 maybe).
Vicenzo, human witch |
So the GM has been a little slow recently but it was his birthday!
What's everyone else's excuse? :)
The GM has a big responsibility to make the game a success but so do the players. That's us.
Here's hoping we pick up the pace a bit.
Game on!
Anarxos Voralius |
Dreadfully sorry, I haven't been able to post these past couple of days - I'm currently swamped with work. I'll definitely post tonight. My sincerest apologies.
Marcellus Vossler |
I have also been very busy, but with good things! My new job starts soon and I've been going through paperwork and getting new clothes for work attire, so I've been wrapped up in that but things are great.
I'll be able to post more frequently now.
GM Advocate |
With this new post I also added a new 'thing' to the header of the campaign... Rebellion Points!
This points will go up and down as you take actions in the future, with good and bad repercussions. This will be fun!
GM Advocate |
Great RP and actions so far... you managed to complete negate the effect of the sermon! I'm really liking this group!
Marcellus Vossler |
I feel bad for missing such a big chunk of the action, but my new job starts on Monday and I've had to be away from the forums while I get everything ready.
Marcellus isn't much for public speaking or sleight of hand anyway. :P
Ahreni, Fallen Angel |
Congrats - my new job isn't so much on the love front... leadership are lovely and friendly on the surface and rather poisonous underneath. Not so much fun!
Vicenzo, human witch |
Marcellus Vossler |
Just checking in, since Marcellus isn't really involved in the current scene. I'm still keeping up with the thread, so everybody knows I'm still here. :)
GM Advocate |
I'll give you all more time to properly interact with each other before calling it a day and moving the story along, probably until tomorrow night!
I must say that I'm really liking the RP so far but there is always room for improvements from the 'less active' members!
Ahreni, Fallen Angel |
Apologies on my part - I'm under a lot of pressure at work at the moment to show significant improvement by the end of the year (two weeks!). I'm able to check games and post occasionally to keep things ticking over but I don't have the time for anything in real detail. Hopefully in two-three weeks and the school summer holidays I'll be able to get my teeth stuck in again.
Vicenzo, human witch |
FYI: I have two days of 'field work' ahead of me but I'll still be able to post in the mornings (brief?) and later in the evening/night. However, don't expect anything from me during the day for the next two days.
Marcellus Vossler |
I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but Marcellus is designed to be the ancestor of one of my Dungeons and Dragons characters - a Lawful Evil antipaladin/blackguard and mortal herald of the god of tyranny. He comes from a powerful noble house - House Vossler - that has historically been bound to the divine forces of evil. I imagine that Marcellus is the start of that rise to power - the man who built the noble house's prestige and earned its nobility.
Ahreni, Fallen Angel |
Now that is a cool idea! I'll have to start thinking about Ahreni's future. Arch-Duke of Hell might be a reasonable goal... ?
GM Advocate |
Oh, just a heads up: About 20 friends from my graduation time are coming over to my place for a weekend-long party/encounter so I'll probably only be able to post at Sunday night (if I'm alive)!
GM Advocate |
Yes, you posted the notice and, until now, the man hasn't removed it, even if he could in the future. In truth, your task was to post them and you did.
GM Advocate |
Just to remember you and avoid any confusion, the decree and the dismissal note to the sheriff are two distinct things and you have both in hands (the last decree to be posted at the jail, and the letter to the sheriff).
GM Advocate |
Sorry to hear about this French!
To be completely honest with you, I believe putting Melani/Satin on 'delay/NPC' until September might be just too long and even taking a look back in your posts I found that they are a bit too short for my liking, even if you improved your frequency (even if still not in the 1 post/day agreement). I'm not seeing an easy solution here, French, sorry.
I really like Melani/Satin but like I said, until September is just too long. I hope you'll understand.
Ahreni, Fallen Angel |
Could one of us take over running her for a while? I dont think I can manage it personally, although it might be easier when the school year finally ends, but if anyone was willing that might be a solution.
Also - Ahreni's super sneaky awesome plan will be explained shortly when you all get back AH!
Anarxos Voralius |
Regarding Melani, I'm afraid I won't have time to play both her and Anarxos, sorry. Playing someone else's character is always a bit awkward I think.
Regarding the fight at hand, one thing that shouldn't be overlooked is that they fight with nonlethal weapons, so we have a choice here: either be the real bad guys and bleed them dry with lethal weapons (at the risk of increasing the town's discontent), or knock them out.
Marcellus Vossler |
This is not an issue Marcellus is particularly troubling himself with. ;) He's the type of guy who thinks "eye for an eye" is being soft.
Vicenzo, I just gotta say I love how you're roleplaying the Witch class. So creepy and satisfying.
