I don't know about longer but it will help flow and coordination. Feel free to to roll init and surprise perceptions and stuff too. I think I would prefer to make saves though. Just tell me the effects.
Realized I didn't like the Pathfinder standard confusion table, so made my own. Here is where Kelsa's confusion role reactions will be coming from:
Roll d6
1: Single standard move in a random direction (d8)
2: Move away from nearby creatures as quickly as possible.
3: Attack the nearest creature.
4-6: Babble incoherently, do nothing.
Dante: how many of your hp do you have left? Remember false life points go first.
Ha. I forgot about that. I took 14 points of damage but false life negated 13. That makes Dante look pitiful taking one point of damage and passing out.
That does make the preceding fight a bit less exciting. Soon the kid gloves will have to come off...
*Nervous look*
If people have put up their posts by this evening I'll get one last update in before Thanksgiving weekend here in the States. After that (or if that doesn't happen) we're on break until Monday, as I'll be away from home.
Keeping an eye on developments, but remember that it is hard for me to advance us in time until I see some agreement to a plan on the part of the players. The more explicit the better. Heck, it's even great if you guys you guys use OOC text in-post to talk to each other more plainly about what you want to do, because that makes it more obvious to me.
Forgot to add: alternatively you can also just tell me the plan in discussion. Whatever ends up happening is fine, I just don't want too much delay to occur because I don't know what you, the players, intended for us to do/where to go.
Yeah. Pack up what we can in prep for run. See how she is in the morning. Look at running.
Only addition is he wants to hide the stone from Luca and Kelsa... just in case...
Stretcher
Craft, maybe?
Where are people on the holiday season and a break? I can probably keep posting right up until the 23rd or so, but if people would rather we break earlier that is also fine. I figure we'll come back around the 4th of January.
Anybody prefer breaking earlier?
Nevermind. Just found out I get to work a bit more over the holidays than I liked (will also be paid more, so It's not like they're screwing me, but still). With that in mind, I'm calling us as on break until the 4th. As usual, IF people post there's a good chance I will post as well (I still intend to get in our next post at some point in the next few days) but nobody is obligated to.
Happy holidays everyone!
I'm available straight through the holidays, so you don't need to worry about waiting on me. ^^
Happy holidays, all!
Happy Holidays, see you on the 4th.
Aaaaaaand, to ask again, which direction is the cave from what Luca's feeling?
(I'm totally planning to go - I'm just wondering, since it'll affect her reactions. XD)
So we're all good to explore? Tonight, or the morning? What's the time, and the distance please GM Mercy?
At the beep, it will be roughly two hours to sundown for your characters.
Beep.
The cave is maybe twenty minutes straight march away from camp. As to the direction, that sounds like a good question for Luca to ask Tyrus. :)
(Tyrus, the direction was noted in the initial spoiler)
*Glances at Tyrus*
I don't read spoilers meant for others. XD
So, apparently, our team has no sense. XD This should be interesting.
I thought that was obvious. A lot of intelligence but little sense.
Howdy guys. Working late this evening and have something scheduled for tonight, so I'm probably not going to manage a post. Hopefully will have one up early-ish tomorrow.
Sure. Sorry about the familiar wierdness. We're the biggest party of 3 you're likely to find. I think we can be worse though. Maybe Dante and I should have gone Variant Multiclassing Summoner, and Luca could pick up a familiar.
"it took six hours just to put all the pc's tokens on the map!"
"How many players!?!?"
"3!"
Nah, I should know these rules by now. Though you guys certainly have picked up quite the assortment of non-companion companions. Next game I GM I'm gonna limit the class assortment a bit. Or rather, a bit more.
You'd be surprised. As time has gone on more and more classes have a way to add something. I think that is why PFS says 'only one companion'.
*Looks guiltily at Luca's small army of companions*
(Although in fairness, she doesn't actually use her Eidolon that much, since she doesn't want others seeing it... and as a half-growth, non-combat companion, it sees even less use. XD)
At least it makes it easier to not bother with recruiting a fourth party member.
I had been waiting on your response, Tyrus. Normally I would NPC you, but this seems a pretty character-sensitive moment and you rarely miss posts, so I decided to wait.
Thank you!
Sorry, I am on holiday. Had internet here, but was using my new phone on the trip. Looks like I messed this up. Sorry :( In my head I had posted.
Really is a little crazy that Kelsa hasn't woken up yet. That's odds for ya.
I'll just blame the dice. XD But hey, unpredictability is part of the fun.
I should note that nothing has been done or said yet that requires a GM response.
Sorry for the delay, busy weekend.
@Luca: I know she does :)
Did Luca mention the stone?
Also the sickness is part of the haemothurge prestige class, T only has the starter feast for note. But just playing it to given the extreme conditions.
Oh, it's in the class mechanics? Could you point me to any internet write-up on the heamothurge again, please?
You can assume Luca mentioned her worries about the stone to the rest of the group at some point, yeah. ^^
Hmmm - Mercy, does post still apply?
Alright!
I see
(A) set up a shop/subcontract for Naswell
(B) expedition to dig out the thing with the reagants
(C) head off to the undead infested city in the south west
(D) have a holiday
Hah! yes, yes indeed it does. So either we need to edit Dante's reveal, or just retcon it that you told Dante where the stone was. :) (or any other option you think of).
Dante, how do you want to play this? Tyrus wasn't worried about you finding the stone, but he hid is from Luca - or more accurately the monstrous things that stare out her eyes.
Could be a duplicate (yay Crafter's Fortune, I guess) or he could be guarding it and decide to trust Naswel.
Tyrus, of course, wants to study it in solitude.
As much as he trusts Tyrus, he would be uncomfortable with any of them keeping it. Naswel probably has the knowledge and means to better protect himself and the stone. But he doesn't need to know that. Bet it would sell for a lot.
Sure - so Tyrus shared the secret with Dante? This is the real stone?
Sorry about the delay, this is sort of important.
Hmmm - Mercy, does post still apply?

Do people want to weigh in with preferences?
I know Dante has disliked (A) in the past.
@Mercy: could you put a link to the wiki in the campaign description, please? I know it exists somewhere... trying to look up the city name.
I'm not sure Luca would enjoy it, but an undead-infested city might be fun.
(I sometimes worry that our group is a little too shy and... mmm... non-adventurer-y. XD The GM's fun is important, too, and if he's bothered to make some areas for us in his world, I'd like to explore them and make that effort worthwhile.)
I create worlds for fun. You guys go where YOU think your characters would/should go. I'll have my fun telling you what you find when you get there. ;)
And sure, Tyrus: blog/wiki link going into the description now. Though there isn't actually a post about that city up on there yet. I've reprinted the info I put into a post awhile back here.
"The city in the jungle is called Keldradt, and is itself a sovereign city which no nation claims. It is the last deep water port for ships traveling west until they arrive to the nation of Orlen. Its population and overall wealth is modest despite that, for several reasons: there is not, in point of fact, a lot of traffic that travels the south coast of Ottrunval; the jungles that form most of its borders are hostile, full of orcs and worse things; it is built upon the outskirts of an ancient elven city that was decimated in their old war with the dwarves. That city is very certainly haunted by all sorts of nasty things: undead, dormant magics, etc etc. For this reason above all others, the city is guarded and in part governed by an interesting religious sect: a joined cult of the dwarven Goddess Brigga, Patron of Commerce, and Felathren, a goddess beloved especially of the elves. Together these groups keep the city safe for travelers, traders, and adventurers (as well as all the boring regular folk who call the city home) and also wage war on the evils growing within the ruins, hoping to keep them in check."
Thanks!
Keldradt! That's the one.
I can see Tyrus being interested in the old magics in the ancient elven city on the ourskirts.
I can see Luca being interested in seeking a cure.
I can see Dante being interested in killing evil.
What do you think?
Yeah, C) sounds like a adventure. No idea on the stone. I didn't know that happened. I guess its a fake and Tyrus can produce the real one.
"Cure."
*Loud snickering*
Sounds like we're in agreement, then. XD
Not the killing part but that is certainly part of most adventures.
