jobasha did you just eat an unwashed raw barbarian penis . .....noice... hope you swallow the balls too...it's full of protein...

"sans penis" means i dont eat the penis. i figured by now they would all be strung on a necklace by Ariella anyway

I see but you ate the balls right??? it's the best part....smart...will add the feat Skill Focus:Survival for you...lol just joking.

Omg. I guess he's a cat so he can eat man balls if he wants. We humans eat bull nuts and stuff.

ahhh we humans have Bear Grylls....but now catfolks have...Jaguar Grylls...Jobasha do add 3 skill points to your survival skill.

I don't think he intended to eat any of their genitalia. I just realized I had way too few skill points spent. Updated my skills to the right amount.

Lol just joking Jobasha no offense. Just sad that my scary large ape monster became a ape pinata for the gang...it's as if this is Ariella birthday and she got the grandprize

I mean, she actually doesn't have anything against animals. Just sentient humanoid men. I have a plan for what to do with all these phalli, but I will wait until we get paid to reveal it.

You do know all go to Ludus to clear debt. BTW I will lets you guys go buy stuff up to 1000 and it will add on to your debt. The Ludus will bear half the cost though

Sorry about this but I was waiting for the first official combat to end first before announcing my withdrawing from this PbP. There are many reasons I could give but overall I simply want to wish the DM and his players the best of luck in this experiment and hope you all have fun.

As much as I hated it that difficult terrain definitely saved our asses. Getting charged by all those dudes would have been a baaaad day. Sorry to see you go Xem but I understand.

Alright Thank you for everything and I respect your decision. You are an awesome player how you single handedly lock down the Girallon. Cheers!

So, we can purchase up to 1000gp of stuff, 500gp gets added on to our debt and the Ludas pays the other 500gp, is this what you meant?

yes.

oh and is magic stuff available or only standard things?

but not yet, after this fight then a shopping trip will be arranged.

Yeah I just made sure to eat in case they don't wanna feed me later hahaha. Glad I got to use my signature move, hopefully that got the crowd a little more pumped for my next Show

since Xem left 1 of you might consider cleric class, also those with dragon style might consider switching too.

What happens when our debt is paid off? WHat value will the Ludas take on items? Like the +1 armor. If I give that to the ludas is my debt gone? or do I get 500gp credit as if I sold it? Just trying to weigh my options. Thanks.

Armor and weapons are commonplace especially in a place like Olumsuz where gladiators die so often the prices to sell your items is at a very bad price. You bond for freedom should be at a price of 15000 gold. After you have cleared your debt, you may then start earning gold and accumulating it towards your freedom bond.

Ah, a goal then :) that was what I was wondering. So are weapons and armor a lot cheaper to buy then as well b/c of saturation? Do you have a price list or a discount in mind?

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit; guess I have to stop sleeping if I want to keep up with this game!

If I can take classes in any order, as long as 3 levels are gladiator, then that solves all the problems I was facing! Thanks.

Will get Aramus updated.

wow, big oversight on my part, forgot about the +2 nat armor from my mutagen, Both of Titanos attacks would have missed, Guess I would have really embarrassed him and the other house :)

Switched out my monk archetype, and took improved trip instead of dragon style. Bought a breastplate and masterwok guisarme.

not buying anything yet until I am definately sure what we can buy and how much we actually get.

also wondeering if Breunnor would be able to craft his masterwork weapons as well as other weapons for the house. (if there is enough time).

@bash sorry about what I did -- your a braggard and I am a joker and I'm a face, your a heel, seemd like an oppurtunity I couldn't resist. wanted to create some banter for the audience only doing non-lethal damage anyway and was more for effect than any real harm.

No worries, still have mage armor on anyways which pumps my AC so even flat-footed I am sporting an AC 18 :) You missing actually give me more "arena cred" :) Thanx for the free boost lol.

DM: if I rework Aramus drastically enough that he should get a new persona and everything, should I just create a new alias? If so, do you want to work it like Aramus leaves and the new guy comes in?

I'm sorry to be such a hassle. I really love this game! I just feel like I'd love it even MORE if I could actually kill some stuff :)

Aramus no prob just create an new alias if you want I am gonna write that Desimo sold Xem and you away though to justify the loss and your new character is an exchange get from another Ludus.

Cool. Will write up!

Anyway guys just thinking also archery possible if you. Anyone keen on archery can explore archery feats.

Sorry for the delay will write up next part soon.

hmmm...never really thought about it much...might make a whole new guy based around archery?

Anyway possible to make an archer try him out adn if not liking then can switch back to Chasik or is it one or the other?

I will add in the feats for those who wish to go the archery or crossbow route.

if you do archery got to stick to it

I'll think it over cause I like Chasik since I reworked his feats and whatnot to be more battle capable. I could always make an archer should Chasik die lol, but the evil part of me is forming an elven archer from HELL :)

so is this money our discretionary spending? do we get the gold or is it kept in a spending account for us?

And is this 696gp aside from our 1000gp that is half-paid by the Ludus?

Also, GM, there is an item i would like to ask about. Back in the 3.5 Magic Items Compendium there was a belt called a healing belt. it was 750gp, and it got 3 charges per day. each charge could heal 1d8 hp, and if you used 2 charges at once you would get 3d8, and if you used all 3 charges per day you would get 5d8 healed. i was wondering if i could buy such an item to improve my survivability.

Also i would like to buy some nice clothes for Jobasha to wear when he is outside the Arena and a little chest to keep them in when he is inside the arena.

and (hopefully) finally, what poisons would i be able to purchase? i was thinking maybe get a blowgun and since i have poison use i would shoot a little poison dart sometimes.

The belt sounds good. Maybe its a viable item for all gladiators. Can link me to it?

The 696 gp is seperate and will be used to reduce your debt first. You may later buy items at my discretion and any item you buy say 1,000 gp, your debt grows by 500 gp.

You may buy anything you want sweets, visit prostitute, wear nice clothes etc and any poison or potion(Can only use outside arena and not allowed to use in the preparation pit before battle) etc..

hmm well with the poison thing i might have to do some sleight-of-handin' hahaha. obviously the poisons i could afford wouldnt be that great but maybe the dragon will see fit to brew a few...

can't link the belt since it was never put on the SRD

DM, what would you think about Owyn trading his weapons for a whip and a shield? Other people seem to have the job of hitting hard, a trip/disarm monkey could be useful.

Up to you.

I updated the campaign tab.

1. remove the need to perform or suffer -3 penalty. Now mood of crowd is set by creativity of intro.

2. added in the crowd mood and the reputation growth

3. Switch sever limb to standard action.

I have the book on pdf if interested I might be able to send it to you.

also anything on crafting weapons.

Breunnor will use his money for clothing and a footlocker with a lock.

Breunnor will keep as much of his winning as he can to purchase his freedom eventually

Is it this?

This broad leather belt is studded with three moonstones.

While wearing a healing belt, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Heal checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.

In addition, the belt has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges as a standard action allows you to channel positive energy and heal damage with a touch. (You can also use this ability to harm undead, dealing them an equivalent amount of damage instead.)
1 charge: Heals 2d8 points of damage.
2 charges: Heals 3d8 points of damage.
3 charges: Heals 4d8 points of damage.

ah that sounds right. i was off by the # of d8s and forgot the +2 to heals but yeah. i figured an item like that would be the way to go to have a little bit of less obvious healing in a fight for those of us with the least HPs

I am inclined to price this higher than 750 gp. Thoughts?

Seems like a very nice item to have on the field of battle.

This is Loup Blanc's new character, by the way. Feel free to look him over, offer suggestions/criticisms/comments/etc. He's quite different from Aramus...

ah spiked chain interesting. Reroll your debt reputation and his persona again. You will deem as a new slave that completed his novitus match but got no gold reward etc

Owyn'll buy a Breastplate, Tower Shield and a Masterwork Scorpion Whip. Changes to feats and such made.

I am thinking to price it at 1,000 GP and lower the heals to d6.

1 charge: Heals 2d6 points of damage.
2 charges: Heals 3d6 points of damage.
3 charges: Heals 4d6 points of damage.

Average healing from 3d8 is only 13.5 HP....seems like nothing since the average blow from a level 1 barbarian with power attack can do 2d6+9 or average of 16 HP. I think the belt was fine the way it originally was. You could buy 15 potions of cure light for that amount.
