Gryphon Gold's Rise of the Runelords Campaign (Inactive)
Game Master Ludomancer

Lym, you get 4200 gp to start. I'll allow both the Cypher Magic feat and Cypher Mage PrC.

I was going to wait for the party to return to Sandpoint, but now doesn't seem like such a bad point to throw Lym into the adventure. You can post in-character when you're ready.

Varisian Chronicler:

*cough* Rhianni? Lym may wear a veil, but she is definitely not an Elf or a half-Elf. ^^

OOps, sorry I just went by the picture and thought I saw pointy ears....humble apologies veiled lady (half-orc)

I tried to find a Half-Orc picture, but nothing that matched Lym was available. ^^

Varisian Chronicler? Has the barghest made its Ref. save against the Grease this round? I can't seem to recall it moving from its place.

It hasn't moved from its spot.

It'll have to make another save if it comes after them, but it doesn't have to make saves if it doesn't try to move.

If/when we lose our last melee fighter, I vote we run and snipe. Move action to do just that, standard action to fire ranged attacks and spells at the barghest. Maybe we can whittle it down. As I requested in the IC thread, Rhianni, please keep using Grease to hamper its progress as much as possible if we need to run.

I'm gonna shut the door first, when we run, that'll slow it up a bit first.

Good idea.

I was thinking of making a cleric of some sort. He's the child of someone killed at the glass factory.

And if you want a bit of toe to toe fighting, then a level or two in fighting can help...using the trait that allows gives you +2 on caster level for your magic. Just a thought if you want to continue in the front line.

Hmmm. I vote we don't tell Praxim that a Barghest ingests the souls of its victims. Yet.

Heh! Yeah, he'd be back through that door in a heartbeat, although it's probably already too late.

It was probably too late the moment they died. I don't remember at what point the process occurs.

Hey, all.

I've enjoyed my time here, but I think I'm going to use this as an opportunity to reduce my PBP commitments. Things have gotten busy here in RL, and I know I wasn't giving Quinion the commitment I should have in game, and don't want to do the same to a new character.

Good luck with everything :)

And good luck to you as well, Ramarren.

If I recall correctly, though, killing a Barghest releases the souls it has devoured. So provided we do this in time, we can still save the guys' afterlife.

If things change, pop back, I'd vote for GG to let you back in the game, if you wanted to. Our party has a strange set up with the 4 remaining character, with no skill money, perhaps we need a clerical rogue!!!

So how are we going to fight the barghest?

Can we increase Praxim's AC through magical means which would give him some protection against the barghest?
I gave my ideas previously ... maybe we can do something to anchor the barghest, rather than let him phase in and out, any ideas.

Maybe need a weapon with bane against outsiders would be good too, just might not be able to afford one.

Are you going to fight it again at your current level or at a stronger level?

Well, since they don't really have a concept of levels themselves, they're mostly going to be worried about resources and approaches. They need weapons with the proper DR bypassing (Praxim automatically gets past it with smite evil), and some way of neutralizing the blinking. Some way of keeping it at bay, like a magic circle against evil would also be useful. If they realize that they can't do those things at their current "level", they'll probably agree to monitor the situation, alert the authorities in Sandpoint, and actively pursue those abilities, so as to deal with the creature at a later time.

Which god is Praxim devoted to?

Yes to what Praxim says ... its about getting the right resources.

Do we have a shopping list..

Protection from Evil would be good
and anything to up Praxim's AC.

Rhianni will just pepper with the wand of magic missiles for damage.

And a couple of CLWs.

Dispel Magic-scrolls. We could knock the bastard's defences away with those. Add in a couple of Summon Monsters to add to our number and flanking potential.

Are we going to stick with 4 (I'll have the cleric/oracle/inquisitor ready by tomorrow) or will we be recruiting?

Erastil, hence the hunting motifs and blatant chauvinism.

I'm hesitant to recruit another player just for his character to die almost immediately.

Oh good, that sounds optimistic .... :(

Tomaru, you have 4200 gp to spend.

I'm in the process of recruiting another right now.

New OOC thread is here.

Rhianni, have you seen the new game thread yet? I just noticed it today.

VC, can we have this game switched to inactive, so it comes off the campaign tabs?

The forum is acting up again. I can't seem to get into any of my character profiles or the hotlinks to my campaigns. *puzzled* I keep getting redirected to the main page.
