I'll be working on finding players this week so we might not get started for a while. I'll open the gameplay thread for introductions and dotting.
As usual for my games, please put the following information in the "classes/level" section of your profile so that it shows up beneath your name when you post:
HP | AC T FF | CMD | F R W | Init | Perc | SM
SM=Sense Motive. Thanks everyone!
unless Desmond is able to finish up Golden Serpent before we start.
Two combats left (including the one just started today). With the way combats have been going in that game (and Geser's eagerness to search and destroy), it's certainly possible.
I'm going to delay starting this game until my Golden Serpent game finishes up so that some of those characters can move over here. At the rate that one has been going that should be in a week or so at most.
The Golden Serpent group is well into the final fight so it shouldn't be long before we start this one.
I'm very excited for Our Lady of Silver. Without giving anything away, I'll just say two words: wedding elephants.
New post is up! Golden Serpent finished up yesterday so some of those players (Desmond and Shin/pregen) are free to get going now.
A healer and someone who can channel against haunts? Sounds like a good choice. Of course, you still have to get decent initiative in order to be effective against haunts and clerics don't have the best reputation for that.
Yep, that's pretty much it. Haunts activate on initiative order 10 in the surprise round so you need a combination of high perception and decent initiative to do anything.
At least it's hinted in the title of the scenario so you know what to expect.
Because it seems it just became relevant: Raise Dead must be cast within 24 hours and bestows two permanent negative levels on the recipient.
Raise Dead costs 16 PP or 5450 gp in spellcasting services
Restoration costs 4 PP/ea or 1380 gp/ea in spellcasting services
Since you have a cleric with you, you could potentially buy scrolls but I'm not sure what the costs of that would be and/or if that would actually be cheaper.
Other PCs can chip in gold but can not chip in PP.
1. Yes, you can reroll your Ref save. If you don't go under you can of course take an action instead.
2. If the reroll doesn't prevent you from going under, yes you'll need to roll to stabilize. You would have had to stabilize before Kirah channeled so you could potentially be one HP lower.
So sorry, Desmond! We've had such a long track record together, I suppose it was bound to happen one of these days.
Dagagal cast lightning bolt, which put Desmond at -11. Then Desmond was up and he failed to stabilize so be died. Then Kirah channeled and Sahar cast lipstitch and Dagagal was back up and he cast a spell on himself.
How is Sahar looking on HP by the way?

Meh, I should've spoken up after the ice storm, or whatever that spell was. Can't blame anything but my own hubris.
Dang, I'm 2 PP short of a raise dead I don't suppose I could use the PP that I gained from running the 7th-Level Pregen all those times.
My ghost will stick around and observe the proceedings, see what happens. If I enough scratch can be rounded up to bring me back, then great. If not, I had a good run.

I believe I'm still 51/51. I took 22 from the ice storm and should have been in the 30 channel for +24.

I am sick to my stomach at the moment. This is completely my fault and I accept the full blame. I made stupid, absent-minded mistakes. I am guilty of not paying close enough attention and trying to do one last post before I went to bed when I was overly tired. Of course I would have channeled if I had realized. I was genuinely confused when I started looking at Des and Peri's HP totals this morning, thinking they hadn't updated since their last PbP. In a RL, FtF game, I would have had the benefit of someone saying, "Dude, we need healing", and of course since it would have just happened, I would still be aware of it. Unfortunaty, the PbP structure with tome lag does not afford such catches of error. I consider myself a decent player, but that was piss poor on my part and really am ticked at myself. I apologize again. I know its a game, but I am also deeply aware of the emotion/personal that is invested in PCs. I really don't know how to apologize enough.

Jeremy,
Listen, I won't lie and say that this doesn't sting. I know that it is just a bunch of numbers and computations, but Des is my first PF character ever and I have grown attached to him.
That being said, we were chatting last night on Roll20. I could've told you that I was low on HP. I didn't think about it. For some reason, I thought, "Well, this thing couldn't possibly cast another dangerous spell, can it?" Please do not blame yourself for my lack of communication.
I should've described the damage that Desmond took in my post. That's my fault. I could've posted something OOC, or done a better job of how much damage Desmond took from that ice storm. I didn't do those things. I can't expect other characters to babysit my character.
I have no ill will towards anyone. Not Jeremy, not Endless, not anybody. As silly as it sounds, I will be in a bit of a surly mood - but it's ultimately a game.
It's just funny that Des bit the dust in this haunted house. The only other time he was seriously close to death was in Day of the Demon - another (sort of) haunted house scenario.
-TJ
I don't have time to update now, I'll get to it this afternoon.
Your order character death really sucks, especially when it's also your first character. At this point it sound like everyone has enough good to raise at some point.
I've only ever killed one PC and he was a level 5 tendu with 10 Con playing up to 8-9 so he knew the risks. It's hard to kill someone as a GM. The worst was when I killed my fiancé's wolf companion. It was her first PF character and she had had that wolf for over six months when I killed it. She actually cried from that because she was so upset. I got so much crap from everyone in our lodge for about two weeks. But thy raised it and she got over it and now it's funny to think about that time I used a remorhaz to eat her wolf.
Speaking of wolves, I forgot to make a Sahek token! Not that he could do much against a flying wayang. We'll say he's waiting in the other room so he doesn't get hurt.
Edit: make that two PCs. Forgot about our former VL's gunslinger. But he chose to make a valiant last stand to save the party so as a GM I didn't feel as guilty.
Just figure out who's selling what and how you're dealing with the Raises and Restorations and let me know when you're ready to move on.
I'll be in the lab for a good chunk of the day and on the road for the rest. Maybe an update in the morning and night.

All right. This is what Kirah is going to do.
Sell:
+2 Breastplate- 2175
+1 Scimitar- 1157.5
+1 Cloak of Res.- 500
+1 Ring of Prot.- 1000
Wand of CLW- 375
Potion of Eag. Splen- 150
Potion of Align Weap- 150
Total- 5507 gp
Need to purchase:
Breastplate -`200
Scimitar- 15
Total- 215
5507-215= 5292 gp
So we should have enough for two Raises and two Restorations cast by Kirrah?
Bottom Line: Kirah has 5292 to chip in. She would like to make use of the cloak and ring from the wizard if possible.

Yes please I only have 5 PP to my name before the restoration. I will definitely do that if nobody objects.
So I will use my gift of the Ghaele boon for a Restoration SLA cast one time.
Donate all of my gold and get a raise dead, and a restoration out of the deal. I suppose after I am raised I am no longer fatigued, go figure.
