GM Cody's Valley of the Veiled Flame (Inactive)

Game Master Codanous

I realized that for some reason, I had Hlifkom listed as LN, but she is in fact LG. Her stat block showed this, but I have now updated it in the posting info.

do I need to get Manuk added as a character?

can you do so like you did in the last PBP?

Still working on purchases. I'll get them sorted out soon.

yes I can. :)

Did your Gamin change his name recently or is he just going for a more modern name?

Also I wonder what a sword could be buying, a scabbard? A frilly dangly silk to flourish from the hilt?

Probably just picking up an Effortless Lace. Even a sword needs to feel good about themselves.

Don't tell the venture captains, they're not society legal!

Also, I too have a Gamin the Misforged, though I didn't know if you wanted us to roleplay it ourselves, or if you wanted to do it, Cody. I can never remember the rules for how to RP magic items.

You guys can RP them yourselves, you are familiar with its personality, I'm not.

Did your Gamin change his name recently or is he just going for a more modern name?

I don't know what you're talking about. ;)

Hey Anastasia, in the future for doing dice rolling, there is an in-game way of doing dice roll.

[.dice=Rolling Dice] 1d20 + 10 [/dice]

I added a period so that it would still show up in this form but if you do it correctly it'll roll for you and then it s legit, so it should look like this!

Rolling Dice: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

You can also find it below in the How To Format Your Text area!

ok that's is good to know. So far its been fun I still have a lot to learn.

Jeremy is away but plans to post later tonight.

Tika is going to buy some items before we leave for the Zho mountains. but i'll have to check her chronicles when I get home from work to see how much she has.

I am in the same boat as Tika I need to check her chronicles before I go on a buying bing.

I think that's about where all of us are at.

I don't think you were pushing too hard, Cody. At least, it didn't feel that way to me. Dude holding 12 horses probably wants to stop holding 12 horses ASAP.

I bought a +1 mithril chain shirt for Manuk and it cost 5400 gold.

My handy barbarian kit has me pretty well stocked up so I am ready to go.

Hopefully if crap hits the fan I know I can count on Ranar we have adventured together in this area before when we were sent after some important items for the society it got a bit hairy but hey we both lived. I personally think he was trying to impress me with all his bombs.

Ok. I've made my purchases:

ammo 13.1 gp (I rounded to 14 gp)
wand of lesser restoration (14 charges) 1,260 gp
Wand of freedom of movement (7 charges) 2,960 gp
Wand of break enchantment (CL 10th, 5 charges) 3,000 gp
TOTAL = 7,216 gp

I still have a bit more than 2,600 gp. Is there anything else anyone wants me to pick up? I thought about getting a scroll of breath of life, but I'm not too sure.

Bobby, are you loading that wand of freedom of movement into a spring loaded wrist sheath?

No. I don't think there is any need to. If I am grappled, I can still draw a wand as a move action, and I can cast the spell as a standard without any issue.

That's what I bought it for. Cosmo's glaring weakness is his CMD.

I would also like to add the Potion Tattoo extract to my spellbook if I'm able. however, I'm not sure what the cost would be beyond the cost of ink (40gp).

Xiakai has a scroll of breath of life.

She'd like to not buy the Remove Disease scroll (375gp). She is going to buy a wand of Reduce Person using 2pp.

total spent including wandermeal and whiskey = 376 + 2pp

Ok, I've thought about it some more, and I will pick up a scroll of breath of life and two spring-loaded wrist sheaths.

scroll of breath of life 1,125 gp
2 spring-loaded wrist sheaths 20 gp

New Total = 8,359 gp

Edit: also...

wand of resist energy (10 charges) 900 gp

New new Total = 9,259 gp

Ranar, your options are probably either buy a potion of the spell, and use a formula alembic (Best 200 gp for an alchemist in my opinion) or get a scroll and copy it over. The alembic has the benefit not not consuming the potion when used, but the scroll is definitely cheaper.

Of, of course, a wizard or alchemist who has it in their spell book can allow you to copy it for free (aside for the price of ink), but I'm not sure if anyone here fits that description.

Cosmo will pony up the 2 Prestige to get a wand of endure elements (unless someone else wants to.) :D

Hlifkom is more than happy to burn her warpriest spells on the journey to cover 3 castings a day. To be honest, she doesn't really use her non inquisitor spells much.

@ Cody: Also, I have a combat-trained riding gecko. I'll be riding him. I'll try to get a profile up for him soon.

On second thought, it might not be worth having a whole profile dedicated to him. He has 11 hp and is CR 1. His name is Sticky and here is a link to his entry in the PRD.

Maybe just include a small stat block in your character sheet, and maybe just his name or something in your header bar(if you have room).

As with Manuk you will probably want to still switch out riding the gecko and horses so your gecko doesn't drop dead from exhaustion :)

Ok. I linked his PRD entry in my character sheet. Cosmo is happy to ride a horse and have Sticky follow along. Sticky carries most of Cosmo's non-combat gear.

I just have to say, Ranar, you have been killing it, as folk say, in the RP department. I *really* like this character.

Thanks Max. I haven't played this character for a while until PBP. One of the main reasons was he is a difficult character to roleplay at a public table. Mostly because I've always had to tone him down so as to not offend people who might not understand that he is a character and not just me being an ahole.

On another note It's been good to play with you again. With you and Rob gone, the fear and respect community wide of the Alchemist has diminished greatly. These new players have no appreciation of what an extra arm or wings can do for you anymore.

Also, #NotaHellknight #TheScenarioLies #GiveMeBackMyPrestigePoint

Those are hashtags I will fight and die for.

Also, Bobby and I were talking about how effective my Touch of Law ability will be with your bombs. Basically getting to take 11 an entire round on any attack rolls.

Looked this ability up to confirm, its actually remarkable amazing, all attack rolls as 11? Alchemists, gunslingers, barbarians, pretty amazing ability actually for those that know they can hit 55% of the time.

As long as they can hit 55% of the time, they hit all of the time.

Yeah, my first thought was that Pepper would like that at higher levels, when she has Rapid Shot and Two-Weapon Fighting.

Yeah, that is a great ability. The downside, of course is you lose your standard. However, if we were in a circumstance where there was no way for you to otherwise contribute that would be appreciated.

Looks like it's Cosmos's time to shine.

Ok. Posting later today.

Let me know if you want the Touch of Law

If people want to try rolling to aid him on his check, admittedly his +19 should get the job done, but he could always roll a 1 I guess. Xiakai's Profession Bartender check can count as an Aid as well. Drunks mobs are the best mobs.

I'll post later tonight.

Of course Cosmo has zero grenades. He also has a zero pistol. Because he's awesome like that. ;)

Is it safe to say that Tika is riding Manuk? And that she would have gotten him out of the stables the morning when we left the city hall or the smithy? :)

Just kidding I just looked closer at the map. :)

Psst, Tika, you can't ready a charge. :(

@ Hlifkom: You don't need to roll Initiative. Cody will roll it for us all at the same time, when and if he needs it.

It is just something to save time in PbP. If we wait for everyone to roll initiative, it will set things back by a day every time that combat starts.

Yeah sorry guys, I tried giving you guys a chance to practice non-violence but I see that may have been a bit confusing. I'll roll initiative for everyone, this once I'll use hlifkom's and xiakai's roll but in the future I'll roll initiative for all participants.

This'll be my first Combat as a Gm and first combat for a couple of you guys, so it may be a learning experience for all of us!

i might be missing something, but my reflex save (and Cosmo's) looked off - I have a save of +8 not +3? Thus I might have made it for half?
