GM Peachbottom's Curse of the Crimson Throne (Inactive)

Game Master Peachbottom

Chapter Six: Crown of Fangs
Part Three: Legacy of Blood

Charisma Rerolls: A PC can spend a Harrow Point to reroll a Charisma-based check. She must abide by the new result (although if she has additional Harrow Points remaining, she can use them to attempt additional rerolls).

Destiny Shall Not Be Denied: A PC can spend a Harrow Point as an immediate action to force the GM to reroll a d20 roll. She must abide by the new result (although if she has additional Harrow Points remaining, she can use them to force additional rerolls).

Psychic Wrath: A PC with levels in a class that grants bonus spells based on her Charisma score can spend a Harrow Point to increase the power of a spell from that class’s spell list as she casts it. She increases the spell’s DC by 2 and gains a +4 bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance and a +2 bonus on attack rolls for that spell.

Roll Card: Gain a +2 bonus on all Charisma-based checks. In addition, he treats his caster level as if it were 1 higher when casting spells gained from a class that grants bonus spells based on his Charisma score.

Just waiting to see Lucian and other's attacks do before I act.


Sorry I'll get another post up soon. I'll try in the morning. It's been a rough week. I injured my neck Monday night and haven't been able to sleep all week. It is really painful to turn my head.

Oh I think they Crimson Throne PDF came out Wednesday. I'll have to download it when I get a chance. I'll probably just start using it starting with Chapter 3 since you are almost done with Chapter 2 at this point. Plus it will give me some time to read it over.

I also saw the next mini set is Crimson Throne themed. I'm an avid mini collector. So I'm excited.

I don't know if any of you have heard of Lindsey Sterling but I'm going to her concert tomorrow night in New York City. I've been to her last two concerts when she was in town for her first two albums and they were both awesome. This one looks even better.


Take care of yourself and get better soon.

Lindsey was in my neck of the woods earlier this month. Elvis Costello was playing at a different venue the same night, but I was spared the difficult choice of who to see on account of having to work -_-

I'm sorry to hear about your neck :( Based on the discussion, there's a lot of great additions throughout the whole book. If I were you, I'd hold off on posting again until you get through the Chapter 3 material, as there's some expanded stuff for Carrowyn Manor ;)

I'm back! Take your time GM. In the meantime I'll try and read the posts I've missed!


Welcome back!

I hope the concert was awesome, and that your neck feels better soon. Welcome back Lucien. I hope the move went well.

Just a quick announcement I'm posting to all my games.

I've just started a new job! My posting might be a little spotty over the next week or so while I adjust to the new schedule, but such issues should be minimal and temporary.

And yes, welcome back Lucien!


Congratulations!


Congrats!

I got the pdf of the updated version. Some changes I like. Others not so much. I won't give any spoilers though.


Don't forget Iolana has the harrow deck that can cast identify for the items Ayako missed.

Storywise or from a mechanical point of view?

Storywise mostly.

For example, I'll tell you this one because I'm not going to use it, because it's kind of too late to implement.

Paizo thought that Gaedren Lamm's part of the story ended too quickly with everyone's backstory tied to him in someway. In the revised version, they made the necromancer Rolth, Gaedren's son and changed him to Rolth Lamm. He had no relation in the original and I'm going to keep it that way.

Mechanically, I like a lot of the changes. One character was changes to a summoner and another a vigilante. Classes that weren't around when it was originally published.

I got the items, but thanks for the identify reminder. I missed the appraise by 1.

I'll be away from good computer access starting tomorrow through Sunday morning. Feel free to bot me as needed.

I'm excited to get my hardcover copy on Tuesday. I promise not to read it past book one for a while. :)


Iolana, we have a pseudodragon friend flapping around out of sight, might make a good improved familiar for you.

Yeah that would be nice.

Edit: From what I'm reading it will take two feats to get the familiar. Eldritch Heritage and Improved Familiar. For flavor, it sounds like a blast.

Sorry again for my absence guys, I had several internet issues in the last week. I'm back now, but I know that me getting in and out so frequently could somehow alt the pace of this game, so if you'd rather have me out of the game, I'll understand it. From now on, I'll try to do my best to keep up with the posting rate, but let me know if you prefer other options such as me leaving the group. Unfortunately, internet issues were not up to me, and took a while to solve.


Don't worry about it Lucien. You are more than welcome to stay.


Please stay

Well where to next? Sebastion's Sister? A bit lost what other trails we have.

Please stay Lucien.

I think we're down to checking Physicians. Should we take some time to gather information about the Hospice? I'd like to avoid going in blind if it can be avoided.

Maybe a Harrow reading would help guide us.

Any ideas on what we might want to have on hand when we head in?


If it has to do with disease, we no doubt want antiplague. Remember we also have our Harrow points. Ayako has one antiplague and a wand of remove disease


Was there anything else you guys wanted to say or do today or should I have you rest and start a new day?

Let me know if you are heading straight to the hospice or if you had anything else you wanted to do first.


Probably a nappy poo and then getting stuff like Antiplague. Maybe a teapot full of bodybalm if we catch something nasty.

While we're out and about buying stuff, I'd like to gather information about the Hospice. Just in case we hear something new.

What about Oil of Bless Weapon for the front line team?
How about some potions of Hide from Undead?


Those sound good, I will be willing to help out with 1277 gold


Any purchasing ideas? I am all set

Waiting for the right opportunity to jump back in.

Quote:
Eries is hard to track down but when word gets to her that you are looking for her, she finds you on the streets. "Well the necromancer isn't hiding in the sewers. If he was, we'd know. But it's interesting that you mention Varasians being hauled away. My spies mentioned that they've noticed an unusual amount of them being brought to the Hospice of the Blessed Maiden. We assumed it was just because the plague seems to be hitting the poor the hardest, but perhaps there's more to it."

In the period I spent off the game, I must have missed this Eries and what do we need from her. Can someone be so kind to quickly resume things for me? I scrolled back in the Gameplay Thread but I got lost in the different quests we have.

I'm fine with the oils of bless weapon, but keep in mind that Lucien does not need them, since he has spells to create exactly the same effects and his smite evil ability overcomes evil enemies' DR.

As for hide from undead, in my experience that spell never worked as intended, due to its low DC when bought in potion form, but if you're willing to buy them, Lucien will contribute regardless ;)


I think she is a wererat? Eris that is

Well, thank you Ayako. Anyway, it seems like the Hospice is our most urgent task, isn't it?


Yep

Hopefully it won't be a COWtastrophe. we might catch Cowpox.


Yes. Eries was the wererat. I'll put together a post moving you to the Hospice shortly. You can confirm anything you are purchasing in the discussion thread.


I don't think I gave out the EXP for the Carowyn Manor yet. You each get 1750 XP. Your new total is 19,928 / 23,000 XP to 6th.

The treasure spreadsheet is also up to date. Confirm what you are keeping or selling and you'll have a bunch more gold available too.

The map for the hospice is also created and linked to the top.

Since I'm new to the group, Eries was the only contact I thought might be able to help. I've never met Sebastian's sister and I thought the Guard would be too busy to know about one lone Necromancer.


Some extra healing potions and such might be good. Weapon upgrades...

Sorry, it's been a rough week. It's tough to post at work, and I have much less time in the evenings than I'm used to.

I assume we healed up and no longer have the extra buffs that were given to us in the Manor?

I thought we were looking for the Varisian, and takeing down the head physician. They were looking for healthy Varisians right? I'm healthy and I'm Varisian. I can make the boys invisible and we could see what they say when they see Ayko and I walk in looking for my "brother" the Variant Musician?


Could work. Ask to look through the ward for him.


Yes you are healed to full and the buffs from the manor are gone.


Just waiting on you to finalize your plan and post what you are doing.


Ask to look in the ward for the artist brother. Claim to be concerned relative.

Course, we'll no doubt end up hip-deep in diced beast in any event.


Everyone on board with asking to do an inspection to fidn the missing brother?


M Human Swashbuckler 12 | Init +9 | Percp +9 | HP 93/93 | AC 27| Fort +9, Ref +16, Wil +6 |

I'm on board.

On board and did just that :D


Shall we commence the rip and tear?


Most likely it will come to violence but I'd be intrigued if you can come up with an alternative solution.


LandsharkRat on a stick delivery people?

I realize that it's only been a month since my last big announcement, but I'd like everyone to know that I've just received my invitation to serve in the Peace Corps! I will be teaching secondary-level science classes in rural Cameroon, and once I depart from the USA at the end of May, I'll be overseas for 27 months.

I don't leave until May 21, so this affects absolutely nothing until at least then. Many volunteers have some kind of internet access at their post, but I won't know what my situation will be like until I get there.

Sebastian what an awesome adventure. I know a guy who almost made the Peace Corps his career. He'd go for a tour be back for a while and then sign back up again.
