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...

I'm actually a little worried about Damien, too. He hasn't been posting much over the last couple of weeks and it's been like nine days since his last post. I'm sending him a PM as well.

If we've lost both of them I'll definitely reopen recruitment, but we'll see.

Calia, do you have thieves' tools of your own? If not, Jenna may donate hers to you in-character.

I don't - I was going to ask to borrow Jenna's. :)


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

Cool, it'll happen soon- whenever there's a good in-character moment to pass them off.

I'm instituting a mandatory two-week rule for dropouts. If someone doesn't post for fourteen days without explanation, I'll have to assume that they've dropped out and their character's fate is in my hands. That might mean NPC mode, might mean worse- depends on the situation and the character at hand. We've just lost Jenna and now Damien has two more days before he's forfeit.

Since my top two picks to replace Jenna didn't work out (still no response from Forest! Sadface...), and now it looks like we might lose out on Damien as well, any other suggestions from the recruitment thread for me to contact as backups? I know I personally was a fan of PirateDevon's Laird Belk, the summoner (with his best bud eidolon Woodruff); he might be able to fill in a magic slot, albeit not a healer, and he had a great backstory. Antoine Ficino might be another good option, though I'm still not super familiar with his class features.

So, ah, you wanted a good in-character moment to pass them off? :D

And yeah, you're nicer than me - I take over NPCing characters after about a week, a day during combat.

I'm cool with bringing in whoever - Laird and Antoine both seemed like pretty decent choices, and I've seen neither a summoner nor any of the occult classes in actual play, so it'd be interesting.


I'm good with whoever you choose Budd,

I...still...live...

Sorry for the loss of comms. Happy Thanksgiving, all! I'love read up and get caught up tonight.


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

You betta!

Also, happy Turkey Day to all my fellow Americans, even if they're like me and say bah humbug to all the major holidays. ;)

I'm going to have to officially consider Damien out for now. I'm sending out another PM or so and if I get no answer over the next couple of days I'll just re-open recruitment.

Not so much "bah, humbug" for me as "my husband has no paid time off left and I like getting paid time-and-a-half for working what I'd normally work anyway". :) Happy Thanksgiving, all those for whom it's a thing!


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

I'm gonna give it till tomorrow night on those PMs I sent out. If nobody answers by then, I'll re-open recruitment. Thanks for sticking with the game, you guys! I'll admit it hasn't been the auspicious start I would have liked, but these things happen.

At least I'm not as buried in work as I was when this thing started! :D

I hope nobody minds the sudden departure of Jenna and Damien. I was originally going to have them tag along a bit longer as NPCs, but Calia's prompt seemed to make more sense (and was very well-written, by the way!).

Aww, thanks. :) I figured since we were by the entrance anyway...


No problem, the departure of Jenna and Damien fit in well here. We can drop the extra gear in with Roldare and send the mule back with them, it feels weird keeping it in a crypt. Hopefully folks will answer your PM's. The remaining four are still a fairly well balanced party, especially with Calia having 'disable device' hopefully we can keep moving forward.


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

Yup, we could theoretically keep going with just the four of you, but I'm going to go ahead and fish around to see if any other players are interested in hopping aboard. Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and somebody'll apply with a proper healer!

In the meantime, we can continue to carry on as before. The good thing about this setup is that, theoretically, you could bump into somebody just about anywhere in the crypt...


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

Whoa, what a weird twelve hours or so this has been! So I reopened the recruitment thread last night before bed, and woke up to find that Crisischild (Forest) had replied to me and wanted in! And then, a few hours later, I checked the website again and, lo and behold, PirateDevon (Laird) had replied as well! So yeah, a bit belated, but it looks like we've got our replacements after all!

Now I just feel like a jerk for reopening the recruitment thread only to have to close it a couple of hours later. ;_;


hey, it worked, you didn't put a "open till" date on it so no blood no foul. Any chance their at the bottom of the pool and are bringing the magic key up with them? ;)

Liberty's Edge

Sorry about the awkwardness, Budd. I swear I've checked my messages before, I guess I'm just blind.


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

Hey, no worries. I'm just glad I was able to get you in. ;)

"Forest'space'Hunter" profile name is taken.
What kind of monster would do such a thing? It's a truly unique name, someone took it with malicious intent.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

That's OK we will resist the urge to type anything silly like "Run, Forest_, Run!" Or. "My Ma_ma always told me..." or "My name is Forest_, Forest_Hunter."

I guess I should be careful, since Sariel is named after three saints of a God that doesn't exist in his world.

The name is reused, the original character was a Dhampir in a modern game, who had been abandoned at birth at a convent. The Nuns assumed because of his pale skin and shallow breathing he would die. So they named him after saints for the death certificate.

Reasons not excuses right, Forest? Welcome to the game!

Popping in per Budd's guidance. I should have my character up soo, hopefully in the next bit but I am at work and it has been crazy, at which point I will get it up first thing tomorrow.


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

Awesome. Welcome aboard, gang! I'll whip up intro ideas for the two of you tonight after work.


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

Forest, Laird, I have sent you each a PM detailing my thoughts on how to get you both involved. Let me know what you guys think.

Everybody else... get to figuring out those keys!

I think if we equip Forest with a full suit of shiny plate armor, a white stallion and the answer to all life's problems he will have an easier time integrating himself into the party.

Sorry gang. Had a family emergency this week dealing with my mom. I'm still in the midst of it right now, helping her get better. I'll try and get something posted by this weekend.

And welcome aboard to our two newest victims volunteers! Can't wait to see what you can do!

belated welcome aboard to Forrest and Laird and I guess Woodruff, everyone has been so nice to Proudsnout I don't want to be rude. ;)

Hey Budd, since it is the weekend Sariel will wait a little before he just snatches up the key and starts unlocking doors...


sorry about ignoring Forest after Calia responds about locks I will speak to him, don't want too many conversations going at once.


It feels like we are waiting for something, after the disable device check I will try to have Sariel interact more...

Yeah, I think we got hung up because I was waiting for some agreement that the southwest door was where we were headed. No need to release any nasties on us without agreement. :)


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

I'll get us all caught up tonight. Gotta get to my big computer so I can update the map. Suffice it to say, you made the DC for the lock; well, kinda. The original DC was completely ludicrous for a door that has no other way in and is fairly important to the proceedings.

Don't ever let anybody tell you I'm not a kind GM!

I think we had one established before...but I don't remember what it was. Probably Doreen in the very middle, me and Laird around her, Artemis, Sariel, and Forest taking front/back/scouting as appropriate.

I'm good on point.


oops typo, at least we can make you smile ;)


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

Not sure if the Paizo Golem ate my post or if I mistook Preview for Post and then let the computer shut down or what, but sorry for not posting yesterday- even though I totally did! (or tried to, anyway)

The holiday season is almost over, y'all! It's almost back to my ideal RPG'ing schedule!

No worries.

I've moved my meeple. My first act from my earlier post was to go and check out the lower area for drainage. I was curious why this spot, which looked like a pool, wasn't full of water versus the last room which had water (and keys). Then over to the stairs.


sorry for the short post yesterday, busy weekend, I will post a later today, once things get more settled.

Yah sorry I have had like epic Christmastime Family Drama Extravaganza! type issues in my neck of the woods. Now through New Years might be a bit spotty.


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

Workin' that double, y'all. Post is gonna be late late late tonight.

Just gonna have to keep you in suspense till then. ;)

So is it weird for a paladin of Erastil to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas"? Well, either way, Merry Christmas to all!

I want to apologize in advance that my access will be spotty through the 4th of January. Basically my family is having some issues that require more attention than anticipated and additional issues of illness add to the complication. I will do my best to check in as I can but don't wait for me, I guess is what I am saying.

Hope things get better for you and yours, Laird.


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

Worry not, we'll take care of things 'til you get back.

I have some good news! I'm leaving my second job in two weeks, so I'll have more time to dedicate to the boards (and my writing!). Stay tuned!
