Tanwen's gear is updated, and apparently I forgot armor check on her acrobatics (it's not a class skill), but it's not an issue now since she no longer has any armor check penalty, and the only times I've used the skill thus far were already failures.
Hopefully I don't get us all killed.
I wanted to go the stealth route, but I thought about it, and I considered two things, Tanwen's lack of ranks in stealth, and her edicts. Her edicts spelled it out quite simply:
The cavalier must pursue glory for himself and those with whom he associates. He must strive to heap glory upon his name, no matter the costs. He must challenge and defeat an ever-increasing host of rivals to further cement his illustrious reputation.
For her own reputation and the reputation of the team, Tanwen must challenge the goblins in order to heap glory no matter the costs.
As a quick reminder, all you can see at the moment is a bunch of thorny plants blocking your way - you've yet to even find the goblin camp. ^^ At the very least, though, you'll want to get through that door.
(It's not locked.)
Rednal, is the gameplay thread not updating for you?
Just wanted to let everyone know that my autistic toddler has bronchitis, and this'll likely effect my posting capabilities for the rest of this week.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blow you all up. You can come back now. Promise.
Yay birthday skills. Last year your present went 'clink' though.
I stuck a (B) next to Birthday-enhanced skills. That sound good?
Also, you're up Rednal. Since Paizo is semi-broken I'll just poke you.
It wasn't great before Humble Bundles started destroying all hope.
...and I'm not helping *Goes back to downloading his PDF's*.
Too bad I have ~80% of the humble bundle already purchased.
Honestly, I have most of it hard back. I only have a few Paizo products as PDF's, so it was kinda cool. And picking up Hell's Rebels 1, 2 and 3 for $15 made the rest kinda a bonus.
My daughter and I both have tonsillitis, please bot me as necessary.
Get well soon!
I’m afraid I have some disappointing news for all of you. I have come to the decision to drop all of my pbp games. It’s not that I do not enjoy these games, or that I have a problem with any one in particular (after all I am posting this message in each of the pbp games that I am in) but I feel that I need to have more time to spend on other projects. I have enjoyed the time that I have spent with all of you, and hope that I am not putting anyone at too much of an inconvenience, but this is the decision that I have arrived at. I apologize for my spurts of inactivity, and hope that you all enjoyed the time I spent in these groups – even if they may have been brief.
Best of luck to all of you, and may the dice gods have mercy on us all.
You know me. I like to have all the friends along for the ride. I'd prefer a new partner.
Also, sorry to see you go Tanwen! I think I've been RPing with you about as long as anyone on here, and it's sad to see you go.
Zelani's here, just finished the details with a lot of help from Shalluk, particularly on magic. I hope you all like her and her black snake :)

Splitting the loot 4 ways works for me. And yeah, Wand of Cure Light Wounds seems like a smart move...
Welp, that sucked. I'll be honest - I'd like to keep Shalluk alive and get him rezzed. But I'm not willing to cripple party economics to do so. We probably have scrounged up enough loot to get him brought back, but added on top having to remove negative levels, it's gonna hurt.
Added to that is a secondary issue - Shadows victims rise as Shadows themselves. Until these things are killed Shalluk won't be able to be brought back, unless GM caveat allows it. I'm also not clear on whether Shalluk's body would be transformed when this happens, and therefore not be available to be used for Raise Dead. GM?
A possible alternative, if any part of his body can be salvaged (and he's bled plenty all over), is a Reincarnate spell, although I would ask if we can use a modified race list. More options! MORE! It's also only 1000gp, half of which Shalluk has on him. With a discount we might be able to do something else, too, because let's face it - we're gonna want magic weapons after this.
And finally, I can lay poor, abused Shalluk to rest and bring up something else. I'm never short on ideas, that's for sure.
But I'd like Tyrannius' and Zelani's thoughts, and of course I need Rednal to confirm what exactly we can do in terms of corpse retrieval.
Reincarnation with a modified race list does sound like fun. Shalluk having the chance to suddenly be an aasimar sounds funny to me. A "scion of evil literally putting his life on the line for good gets chance at easier/better new life" also has a ring to it.
It is a risk...Shalluk could lose important bonuses if he suddenly became an orc for example, but it is a creative cheaper alternative that could make things interesting in story. If he's happy with that risk, it could be option worth exploring.
Zelani intends to teleport in, grab Shalluk, and try to teleport out - after she's screamed a bit in various languages first, once we decide what to do.
|
I think it is definitely a risk worth taking at this point as I am not really sure we could scrounge together the funds for a full raise dead without selling the majority of our gear.
Thanks for teleporting in Zelani. I could go in invisible but I am about one strike from dying myself if they snag me.
That all is if he isn't undead himself already and risen as a shadow. Usually you rise within rounds of it so getting his body out may be bad for us as we will be facing and have to kill him for good as a shadow.
Reincarnate it is then. I would like to use This List if the GM approves? I should be easy to get out, since I only took a few steps in - you guys can probably reach Shalluk's crumpled corpse from the doorway. And then back to town for healing and Reincarnations all round! Except the Reincarnate bit.
...maybe I should pay a little extra and get some Salve of the Second Chance.
*Smiles and stares*
I would post...but I'm dead.
Went back through the play logs. I included the stuff grabbed by Players Past. I assume they threw it in the party loot pile before leaving. I've struck through anything we sold.
Also, I forgot that we sold stuff and I actually had nearly 700gp than I thought I did. Yay memory!

Zelani is totally concerned about hidden meanings behind Shalluk becoming a kayal after what happened. That could be fun for our illustrious GM Rednal to play with
...and Shalluk has totally borrowed from my/Aibek's view of shadows. As inverting shadow/light tropes in writing is one of my favourite things to do, I will be interested to see how Shalluk plays with it.
I don't know which items would be most useful for Zelani [and she would never ask] though cloaks and wands are always good, as is this aasimar's love of jewellery...
Shall we keep the other 250 worth of scrolls in case we run into something melts off my beautiful new face or some such? Take a nap and go back for vengeance? Brutal, force-based vengeance?
All have posted, oh mighty GM.
