GM Budd the C.H.U.D.'s "The Price of Immortality" Trilogy

Game Master Budd the C.H.U.D.

The Price of Immortality Trilogy, part two - Masks of the Living God!

CURRENT MAP - On board the Black Mist

A group of young heroes set out upon what was meant to be a simple coming-of-age ritual, but found the Crypt of the Everflame overrun with undead horrors in the wake of a botched tomb robbery. Now, the cult of the Living God, Razmir, beckons in the distant city of Tamran, the origin of this great tragedy. The young Heroes of Kassen prepare now to head south, down the River Tourondel to the banks of eerie Lake Encarthan, where the next phase of their adventure awaits...

Discussion is open! Heroes of Kassen, please check in here. You may chat amongst yourselves for the time being. Feel free to figure out how your characters know one another and other such fine details.

Over the last few weeks, your characters have been individually approached, primarily by Mayor Uptal himself, to inform you of the good news. Doreen was probably notified by Goodwife Crowley, though, considering she's a bit of a shut-in...

More to come later.

Dotting in,.... Hello everyone.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Welcome to the party, pals! Gameplay thread should go up tomorrow night after work.

Damien, we're gonna have to figure out this archetype together. :) I've never seen a shaman in action before, much less an unsworn one. Teamwork!


dotting...doubly Happy to be here, that's one happy for each of these yahoo's

Hare Familiar

"It's kind of cute that the kid thinks he's the one you wanted to see but we all know who the star of the show is, right?"

There are five different pig avatars available but this is the closest thing I could find to a hare.

I love familiars...


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

I think that avatar is how Kolby sees himself.


Hare Familiar

"As if I would look better with clothes on..."


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

I'm going to go ahead and put the Gameplay thread up before I head off to work tonight. I'm working on it now, folks.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

...And the Gameplay thread is up! Have at it, folks!

Artemis looks around the gathering, a smile on his face. When he sees the pig and hare, he frowns down at his great club. Hmmm, my familiar seems so, wooden.

I'm away from a computer today (watching my hubby get a tattoo), so I'll get my gameplay post up tonight when I can do it on my computer and not my phone.


HP 11 | AC 15/T 13/FF 12 | F+2/R+5/W+2 | CMB +2 | CMD 15/12ff | Init +3 | Perc +6

So Jenna seems to be a bit shyer than I initially planned,.... she just turned out that way while I was writing.

It fits, though. :)


Wait a minute miss "me. I'm nobody" is shy???


HP 11 | AC 15/T 13/FF 12 | F+2/R+5/W+2 | CMB +2 | CMD 15/12ff | Init +3 | Perc +6

Well, she was always going to be a bit shy. We'll have to see whether she opens up a bit when we're out of town where she's more comfortable.

EDIT: FYI, I've slightly changed (or rather, expanded upon) Jenna's appearance

Appearance.:

Jenna is not precisely beautiful, but she's certainly not ugly…. Most would describe her as pretty. A young woman of seventeen years of age, she has green eyes, freckled skin and long red hair which she usually lets hang over her face in town, but ties back in a simple braid, ponytail or pigtails to keep it out of her eyes when hunting. Jenna is taller than average (5'10") and has a slight, somewhat lanky build. Generally Jenna wears used but well crafted leather armour over simple and practical woollen leggings and long leather boots. In cold weather or rain she also dons a long, oiled waterproof coat and a wide-brimmed hat. When hunting or away from town she wears a simple undecorated shortsword a hunting dagger and a quiver on a belt at her waist, and carries a longbow which she made herself, and of which she is secretly very proud. Jenna is uncomfortable and shy in crowds, especially in towns, or in the presence of attractive boys. In the forest, however, her demenor changes to one of professional competence.

Hehehe.

They all seem like such nice kids. >:)


I think Sariel is the youngest at 15


HP 11 | AC 15/T 13/FF 12 | F+2/R+5/W+2 | CMB +2 | CMD 15/12ff | Init +3 | Perc +6

Possibly,... how old is Doreen?


Barbarian 2 | HP 21/21 (R25) | AC:18 (21), T:11, F:16 | CMD:15, CMB:+4 | Save F+4 R+1, W+0 | Init:+1 | Perc: +5 || Rage 7/7 | Uncanny Dodge Chosen Image

I'm 18. Not sure about Doreen.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Looks like we just need Doreen to check in and we can get this bad boy rollin'.

Great introductions, everybody. This is going exactly as I hoped it would thus far!


Shaman 1; Init +7; HP 8/10; AC 14/11/13; Perc 6; F +1, R +1, W +5

How do you want us to handle equipment? I think you mentioned in recruiting that some of the "basics" would be provided by the town.


Female Human Witch 1 | Init +2 | HP 10 | AC 12 | CMD 11 | Fort +0 | Ref +2 | Will +5 | Perception +2 | 1st Lvl Spells: 4/day

Doreen is old enough to kill you in your sleep with a curse.

Or so the townsfolk whisper.

I'm here.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Hey, folks. I had to run a live game tonight after work, so I'll get the ball rolling on this tomorrow. Cheers!

By the way, said live game featured a truly epic battle with a group of Serpentfolk monks. Fantastic stuff with a very dramatic finale. :D


Did Budd just say we were rolling up new characters to start an epic adventure fighting serpentfolk? Serpent skull here we come! I call the tengu slayer... I think I have figured out what the next incarnation of Taicho Blackfeather is going to be... just sayin'


Shaman 1; Init +7; HP 8/10; AC 14/11/13; Perc 6; F +1, R +1, W +5

Man, serpentfolk can't even run off into the mountains and meditate in peace.


Female Human Witch 1 | Init +2 | HP 10 | AC 12 | CMD 11 | Fort +0 | Ref +2 | Will +5 | Perception +2 | 1st Lvl Spells: 4/day

BTW, if you aren't hearing Tara Strong playing Raven from Teen Titans as Doreen's voice, you're doing it wrong. :)


I must confess I had to google "Tara Strong playing Raven from Teen Titans" to hear her voice, but good to know. I think I have Proudsnouts 'voice' but I am still working on Sariel's.

*wipes tears from his cheeks* Why pale lady hurt Artie? Heh heh. What a fool for his nice nature!

I haven't watched Teen Titans in so long...

Called it! Although I'm picturing her looking less Raven and more Yuria.

I typed foil, I swear I did.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

I forgive you.

So that post's gonna have to be later this evening, gang. I had a job interview and then a night shift afterwards, and typing on my phone is fine for short posts, but a real pain for proper gameplay. I must beg a wee bit more patience for today, folks. :p


HP 11 | AC 15/T 13/FF 12 | F+2/R+5/W+2 | CMB +2 | CMD 15/12ff | Init +3 | Perc +6

Budd:

I've been thinking about a minor change to Jenna:... Craft (traps) instead of craft (bows). Seems to work better with a 'trapper' for obvious reasons.

The traps she learns as a 'trapper' ranger are 'extraordinary' or 'supernatural' so Craft (trap) would let her do mundane traps too. In game terms she'll probably just use these to try to supplement their rations with rabbit, and maybe to set alarm tripwires in some circumstances.

Is this OK?


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Yep, that's fine by me.

I usually allow for last-minute tinkering to a character with the caveat that one can't change an ability they've already used in-game. Since you haven't used Craft yet, this is perfectly fine.


Shaman 1; Init +7; HP 8/10; AC 14/11/13; Perc 6; F +1, R +1, W +5

I didn't add my daily prep stuff to my profile until just now. This will be my standard loadout for a while, if you want me to not use it until a day passes just let me know.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Nah, it's fine.


Shaman 1; Init +7; HP 8/10; AC 14/11/13; Perc 6; F +1, R +1, W +5

Any chance we could get a little diagram of where the orcs are relative to the party, particularly the two around Artemis?


Barbarian 2 | HP 21/21 (R25) | AC:18 (21), T:11, F:16 | CMD:15, CMB:+4 | Save F+4 R+1, W+0 | Init:+1 | Perc: +5 || Rage 7/7 | Uncanny Dodge Chosen Image

Own my spleen...


Shaman 1; Init +7; HP 8/10; AC 14/11/13; Perc 6; F +1, R +1, W +5

The trick is to try to get your head in the way of the axe so it doesn't hit anything important.


Barbarian 2 | HP 21/21 (R25) | AC:18 (21), T:11, F:16 | CMD:15, CMB:+4 | Save F+4 R+1, W+0 | Init:+1 | Perc: +5 || Rage 7/7 | Uncanny Dodge Chosen Image

Muwahaha!


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Speaking of empty heads, derp!

Damien, I didn't think to get a marching order before the fight started, so I guess there's a good deal more assumption going on here than I had counted on. Didn't have my head on straight, or whatever you want to call it. Still blaming that on not taking a nap. ...yes, including yesterday.

But since I don't have a map (seriously, how hard is it to find a friggin' forest trail with a fallen tree?), I'll make a little diagram for you. Here you go.

All positioning is just my best guess.


Barbarian 2 | HP 21/21 (R25) | AC:18 (21), T:11, F:16 | CMD:15, CMB:+4 | Save F+4 R+1, W+0 | Init:+1 | Perc: +5 || Rage 7/7 | Uncanny Dodge Chosen Image

"I am a tree!" Nice


Shaman 1; Init +7; HP 8/10; AC 14/11/13; Perc 6; F +1, R +1, W +5

Cool, thanks.


Budd, that is a fine map! Exactly like the poster in my head for 'theatre of the mind' ;)


Female Human Witch 1 | Init +2 | HP 10 | AC 12 | CMD 11 | Fort +0 | Ref +2 | Will +5 | Perception +2 | 1st Lvl Spells: 4/day

Sorry. Sorry. Last day has been hectic. Jumping in.
