GM Samy's Belles' Vengeance

Game Master Samy

Awww, that is unfortunate. See you in other games.

Samy are you wanting to reopen recruitment?

Thanks for being understanding, guys. Samy, whenever it suits you would you mind setting Nysene to inactive status? Thanks again!

Done, Nysene.

Shiloh, I guess three people is too few so if we continue we should recruit for more. Before I go into that I want to check with the remaining three of you if still want to continue. Has the campaign been meeting expectations, is it still fun? Has my flakiness and absences been too much? Have any life changes come up that limit play time?

If all three of you are still wanting to go on with this campaign, then I'll reopen recruitment.

I am enjoying it! I am already familiar with you from MM and the 'flakiness and absences', as you put it, have no affected either game for me. Life gets in the way sometimes. For everyone.

You run fun games and I would love to continue. We are just getting started and we are minions! I want to see where it goes.

I'm still good to go. I'm enjoying this AP quite a bit so far.

Might want to see if any of the MM crew want to jump into the spot here so you don't have to do a full recruitment.

To be honest with you I have been feeling RL pressures, mostly due to work, and when Nysene dropped out I was considering doing the same. I think this was also affecting the MM game as well, as I was having difficulty writing for Turel.

After thinking about it further I am willing to stick this game out for now. Recruiting from the MM crew sounds like a good idea to me!

You may feel free to finish the current scene if you like. Even if we get a new player I won't be inserting her into the middle of the current scene.

Keeping this game on pause until we hear from Polux.

ok

For me, both a Bloodrager or Fiendish Vessel would be fine. Does anyone else want to chime in?

Dotted, and waiting for everyone's input ;)

I like the Bloodrager option here since we lost our melee combatant.

Fine by me, either way!

I had never heard of the Fiendish Vessel and that one looks fascinating. Cleric are a very versatile class with great spells and they can melee. While Bloodragers are just a lot of fun, I am playing one and having a blast with it. Some of the bloodlines are wonderful and their spell list is brilliant.

Honestly dear play which ever one you think you would have the most fun with. Either option would be helpful. Both would be very helpful.

Ok, I think I will try the Fiendish Vessel first, and see how he works out as a melee combatant - will have it up later today ;)

Cool. Happy to have you join us in evil shenanigans :)

Do you guys have an opinion one way or another whether we should recruit for a fifth on the public forums? I'm fifty/fifty.

I'm fine with however you want to play it, Samy.

Sorry it is taking this long to finish the character guys - weekend and travelling got in the midst of it. I'm getting to it today ;)

Whatever you think is best for the game Samy is fine with me!

Ok, Jotun is drafted :D

I see her as someone who has been through a lot of ups and downs in life - from being born as a predestined child in her village, her first scream into the night to meet a gleaming Blood Red Moon, to being taken as a slave by her cruel, unforgiving Cheliax masters after obliterating her village, scrambling up the ranks into a soldier position after showing some arcane prowess, and finally managing an opportunity to strike out on her own after participating in the plot to eliminate her previous master, and falling into favor of the new one.

(Fiendish Vessel will follow for your appreciation ;))

I do like lots of people but I really like the group we have. I will bow to Samy's expertise so I am more than fine to deal with whatever you want to do.

Jotun looks cool.

And here is Triel, my Fiendish Vessel:

In my head her story is dark and broken - she has no notion of her origins, and only fleeting images of her childhood come to her in troubled dreams. She grew up in the wilds of the Worldwound, amidst a coven of rampaging demons, witches and their minions. Her life was miserable and wretched, but she learned to love it, dwelling in pure evil, mischief and strife.

Her daemonic inspired powers are as a second nature, and have always come naturally. This passion for War, and wanting to go further have seen her pushed by Szuriel into Cheliax. There she found completely different levels and layers for what she had built her life upon, and it has fascinated her.

Bare bones like Jotun, but it gives a general idea ;)

As I am DMPCing a Fiendish vessel in a evil-themed Rappan Athuk game, I am leaning towards going with Triel here, but it is a close call!

Yes... I know Raaz Al'Zuul quite well... :D

Both look awesome. The cleric looks like she can hang out in the front when need be and the channel evil is awesome. I will be using that archetype in the game I run. My players will not like that :)

The bloodrager is a fun class in general and great in the front. I like both.

Is there one you like more Polux?

I like both. If I had to pick one I like Jotun a little better but both are good.

I've decided to try four-manning it and not recruiting for more. It's not like you've had any close calls so far.

Cause we are lucky :) though that first fight was a close thing. I am more that fine with this option.

Can't say that I do - Bloodrager is a class I've been wanting to try for a long time, but chances to play a Fiendish Vessel are few and far apart ;)

I think I will just go wit Samy's opinion? I worry we may be dead soon though, with ZERO healing ability and condition removal :P

As I have an Inquisitor level, I can use wands! Speaking of which, I think we have a and to go pick up soon.

Don't want to bog down the game, so I'll just make a decision and go with the Fiendish Vessel if everyone agrees.

I would like to play the Bloodrager, but she can fit in ANY game, while I will be hard pressed to find a game where the Vessel would be accepted :D

So I am now getting Triel an alias.

Woot! Happy to have you join us and yeah that would be a weird one to have in most game. Everyone seems to want 'heroes'

Good! Glad to have the team together!

We got the band back together!

Yay!

Done ;)

All the rest are details I can add as we go ;)

Excellent. This campaign has a good built-in way to introduce new PCs through the party's employer, archbaron Darellus Fex. Unless there's some issue in Tiriael's background that makes the following problematic, Fex has heard about Tiriael through his underlings, has invited her over to his manor and asked her to swear the Hellfire Compact, which the rest of the group did earlier. After that, he would send Tiriael to meet the rest of the group at the Ash House, where the accuser devil Razelago introduces Tiriael to the group.

ZzzZZzzzzz... Games are not updating... Anyone else noticed?

I realized it this afternoon but had no time to do anything. I do not like it!

Hey all,

I really feel bad about doing this but, after thinking about this for a while, I have come to the conclusion I have exceeded the bandwidth on my games and I need to reduce the number of games i am participating in. Sadly, after considering things for a long while, I have decided this game will be one I will drop.

I just wish to emphasize this has nothing to do with any of the players (who I all know well he he). This is a combination of work getting busier along with other RL issues. While I could have Aevelyn stick around for a while with you guys, I think now is the best time to exit here while the game is in a lull period, so Samy can recruit another player quickly! I would imagine Aevelyn may have been called away by her House (which incidentally would take care of Nysene as well, he he) so she could be easily written out of the game.

Thanks for the fun game everyone, and I will see you all in Mummy's Mask!

(Samy, please mark Aevelyn as Inactive. Thanks!)

Thanks for letting us know!

As I posted over on the other game, RL's gonna be killer for me over the next 3 weeks or so, so I'm not gonna be running a recruitment during that time at least. I think it may be time to put this game to the pasture. Objections?

As in full stop? But I like this game! Hiatus is cool by me. Unless you feel the need to stop running of course. If that is the case I completely understand.

I'm gonna echo Shiloh's words - if you have to stop, you have to stop, no ifs or buts about it.

Though personally and in spite of my slow start, I would obviously like to continue ;)

I'm a big fan of the game and would love to keep playing! But real life is important, too. Whatever you decide is alright with me.

Well, you guys seem to be into this game, so I'd be happy to keep running it. I'm gonna give some thought to whether I want to go to the hassle of recruiting a fourth. Do you have any friends on other games who might be interested?

I can check - are you looking for any particular roles? :D

Dedicated arcane would be my guess. You are melee and I will be shifting my eidolon to melee. Breeze is our stealth. I am support but my spell list is sub-par to most arcane lists since I only go to sixth level.

I agree. We need dedicated arcane, or at least something like a witch that is mostly arcane.

That makes sense. I'm willing to entertain any role though.
