I'm both assuming Astraden cast Eagle's Splendor on Carina and aided on Diplomacy, by the way. Not that it'll have any immediate import.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Guardians was excellent.
Everyone should go see it. Like right now.
*sigh* Figures Smenk would be a sore loser...
Didn't expect him to go that far, though.
Yeah, every critic I watch is saying Guardians kicked ass. Never read the comics, but I really want to see it now.
I told you dog . . . .
Also didn't see posts here so here's my Diplomacy aid.
If he doesn't post by the time I am home from the gym I'll poke him on steam.
Maybe I should have splurged on that glitterdust wand after all.
It WOULD make this easier...
Incidentally, are any of us standing in the way of the door into the courtroom?
I poked him.
Just in case my question was missed, is there room for Smenk to get around us? There's a lot of people here, and I'm wondering if any of them are in the way of the courtroom door.
Sorry, I did miss that question. Only one guy with a weapon was adjacent, and you don't get AoO'd when you're invisible.
Okay then.
God, that throw felt soooooo f**king SATISFYING! :D
By the way, should I keep controlling Zalamandra or let you take the wheel, KC?
By the way, I've never stated this, but better late then never. For "percentage rolls", I follow a very simple rule I stole from someone: Up is good for PCs, low is bad for PCs. I started following this rule about halfway through the campaign (before then, it was "Up is good for the roller").
Carina can keep her crit, but keep this in mind for future reference—your post confused me a bit before I noticed the "50+ = Miss". :P
Ah. Okay then.
I always had the opposite assumption, for some reason.
And, of COURSE I'd forget I still have a negative level. Derp.
Tanith hates the guy but he's not going to execute Smenk. Wasn't the whole point of this scene to prove him guilty so he could face justice?
Farrukh and Carina are a pretty talented prosecution team, clearly.
That can be your November intermission: The Three Faces of Evil, Perry Mason Edition.
I believe once a guy turns invisible, shanks a man, and makes a run for it, he's given up his right to due process.
Besides, Farrukh is 90% sure he wouldn't survive a night in prison anyway.
Yeah. I guess we'll break here for the night? Give KC a chance to stat up a couple mine managers for Astraden to be totally outclassed by.
Actually, there's a handy resource for these guys, as well as almost everyone in Diamond Lake, called the Age of Worms Overload. I got more stats than I could ever need unless you guys go on a killing spree or something.
Heading out for just a bit. We might wanna pause 'cause I think Tanith said he was following too.
Yeah, that'd be a good idea, I think.
I was just looking through the timeline for the Adventure Path, and I noticed the time gap between Diamond Lake being founded and Balabar Smenk's arrival in town. This got me wondering--would Astraden have been born before he ever arrived?
|
Yeah. Her parents died about two years after Smenk came in, though I didn't figure out who they worked for before that.
Astraden's gonna try spreading conspiracies in the Flophouse and Wierus' church for the next week or so. Hopefully that'll be less game-dominating than failed assassination and incarceration.
Well, as long as you don't murder anyone, Carina probably won't object to it. :)
Bodies tend to leave a blood trail, ya know.
I mean, for heaven's sake, you're a priestess of the god of rogues!
Less Assassin's Creed, more Hitman! XD
Guardians was awesome.
On the note of older movies, Glory is goddamned depressing. I guess I should have seen it coming. Nothing good ever happens to black guys in action movies. But goddamn, man...this is why I stick to Disney movies, y'know?
Anyways, I have to write a big paper about it, so I'm not gonna be posting much. You guys can basically feel free to resolve the intermission yourselves—you get what you want.
For the Free City Field Trip, write up lists of what you want to do/buy. I'll try to get to them tomorrow night.
Astraden visits the Blueberry Theatre (with Eben, possibly?) to check out the deal with her godfather. No other plans for the trip iirc.
Tanith's Free City To Do list (in no particular order)
1) Visit the temple of Kord (I assume they have one)
2) Shop (+1 mithril breastplate is the big ticket item he's looking for most - preferably one that shows off his physique =P)
3) Visit the Arena and dream big
4) Take Carina somewhere nice
To Do:
1) Let Venelle know where Carina's going, and maybe getting a better light crossbow in the process
2) Scribe false life, invisibility, darkvision, see invisibility and spider climb into my book
3) Find some way to dip into the Gunslinger class
4) Go somewhere nice with Tanith
To Do:
1) Buy a belt of strength +2
2) Buy Astraden a nice dinner (if she'll let me)
3) Buy some barding for Spiny (dunno what would be available on short notice...)

Eben's Big City plans:
Shopping:
In order of most to least desired:
-a set of bracers of falcon's aim (4,000 gp)
-getting my new mithral armor enchanted (1,000 gp at the least; possibly 4,000 gp gp if the bracers aren't available)
-an efficient quiver and/or handy haversack if there's a problem with either of the above.
Doing:
-perfectly happy to show Astraden to and around the Blueberry.
-Aside from that, just general checking in with old contacts and the like to make sure that moving back home is a safer proposition now than it was a year ago. (Not that that's where the campaign is headed, of course, but just factoring in Eben's current long-term plans.)
Oh, before Carina's last restoration:
Astraden scribes
one scroll of remove blindness/deafness(-187.5 gp)- one scroll of remove paralysis (-75 gp)
- one scroll of water breathing (-187.5 gp)
And I can just take 10 for all the spells I want to learn.
Did Astraden still want that ring?
You can have it if you want.
Heh. Tanith doesn't really have cash to spare right now.
If Astraden doesn't want it I'm sure someone else might want to pick it up.
Also, Astraden'll cast create food and water every day during the intermission so if anyone besides me was worrying about tracking cost of living, well, they don't have to.
Is Astraden's conjured food high in protein and fiber?
Tanith's got a strict diet to maintain.
She can brew up some raw egg smoothies if you like.
Perfect!
So, a brief sidenote, since I know at least some of the players here glance at what others in AoW are doing when they aren't posting in the game:
Yes, I am posting in the Pathfinder Online forums and neglecting my games. Temporarily, that subforum has gotten a higher priority than normal, as some friends of mine have gotten caught up in forum politics and are intent on tearing each other apart. I'm a bit preoccupied trying to keep an eye on the place (and our settlement's own forums) to make sure things don't escalate.
Just so you guys don't think I'm whining about schoolwork and just using the extra time to fool around on game forums like I usually do.
I'll start making game updates soon—definitely sometime today, though the exact time is uncertain since I'm not sure I can access the game info I need on this computer.
No worries, KC.
Slackscuses!
To Buy:
-+1 Scimitar (2000 gp)
-+1 armor (1000 gp)
-+1 Shield (1150 gp)
-+1 Cloak of Resistances (1000 gp)
To Do:
-No idea. I have no idea what is in Greyhawk and neither the wiki nor the player's guide is really enlightening me as to what sorts of businesses, attractions, and so forth may be found there.
Tanith mentioned an arena which might be up Farrukh's alley though.
Also he may hit up the temples of Istus and Norebo because the gods' disfavor is obvious.
I thought somebody would get a kick out of Carina's thought process as she scribes scrolls into her formula book. XD
Yeah, my post may technically be past midnight PST. Look, it counts as the same day until I pass out!.
It sounds like the group is mostly just preparing for the journey. What do you guys think? Should I wait and let that play out, or are you guys ready to go?
Well, do we all definitely want to walk (5 day journey) or buy mounts? (I'm down for splurging on a horse, but it would be pointless as far as travel time unless we all got one. Although I suppose we'd still be traveling at Spiny's (non-quadruped) speed, so... yeah, nevermind. Walking is fine.)
