So the joy of playing a 'new' class like a Summoner, Witch, Alchemist, etc. is that you totally get to make up whatever fluff you want regarding events like the 1 minute Eidolon summoning ritual or the once / level transformation process as the Eidolon gains new Evolutions.

Fun!


Nice summoning ritual ^ _^ I like!


+1, nice work!

Thanks! In future, I think I'm just gonna make up words in Draconic. I don't like the 'sound' of the words from the Draconomicon. I wanted something guttural, like the funky speech from the helmeted dudes in the Stargate movie, but the stuff in the book sounded elfier.

Hey Set, did you ever notice when I messed with Servayn? Just curious, no one mentioned it...

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

You know, draconic is also the language of all chromatic dragons. So I double it's entirely vile like say....orcish or goblinoid. :P

Not that I don't think your post is great, just sayin'.

Oh yeah, the pantsless confusion thing, I just completely spaced posting a reaction to it! My bad. :)

You probably meant metallic, and yeah, I'm sure golds and silvers and coppers have words for stuff like laughter and love, but Servayn's just learned the language through supernatural means over the last few days, and he's learning it with a redder 'accent,' so to speak.

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

Oops, yeah, thems shiney ones.

Kobolds who aren't instantly hostile are surprisingly easy to Diplomance with their -1 Cha.


Added the Cure Light Wound potion to my list. It can be removed from Clip-Clop's.

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

Already noted there. I'm surprised nobody called dibs on that ring. Then again it is a dead guys... but technically isn't all of your loot?

I'm going to keep a constant tally of your Experience in Clip Clops profile. That way I don't accidentally forget to give credit for any encounters or exploration.

So feel free to check if you're curious where the group is at.

can we get one of you magic guys to identify that ring? Also didn't someone ask for radishes once upon a time?

Lukasz Identified it as a ring of animal blinding. Basically a ring of invisibility that only works for creatures of the animal type.

Vekkel hinted that Svetlana likes to use the radishes as an aphrodisiac for Oleg...

Ahhh ok.

Using your innate magical talents you are able to delve through the workings of the ring. Thick layers of druidic magic cover the ring weaving a complicated spell. Finally you are able to discern this is a Ring of Animal Blinding. While wearing the ring if the command word "Oséour" is uttered the bearer become invisible to all animals for three minutes.

Technically only Lukasz knows what the ring does right now unless he's shared that information. I suppose he's also the one still carrying it.

"Olegs a gruff goat who purrs like a kitten for radish soup! Svetlana purrs for the nights she makes it." Bokken adds laughing madly.

Risque!

Great nobody move to quick we are dealing with a bunch of shall we say excited Kobalds lol. Should come with a bonus to diplomacy right :D

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

Lol, nice!

I think they just find them terribly delicious. Since they decided to stop and setup camp here rather then gather some and return to their tribe.

Yeah, Servayn's knowledge-nature check is in the 'can't touch this' range, so he's got no idea...

So far he knows that they like moon radishes!


Hmm. The ring sounds kind of like a Garick item, but I don't know who else might benefit. I suppose we could trade moon radishes to the kobolds, but they seem to have a better time finding them then we do so far. I wonder if they could be cultivated or if they need to grow wild?

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

Might be useful for Corso as well. It's not greater invisibility but he could get 1 sneak attack in on an animal with it. Or someone could use it defensively. Say you fight a giant boar and you don't want a squishy caster to be one shotted.


M Human Cavalier /1st

might be nice if it worked against whatever is guarding the temple, the bear creature.

Yes, Ember had best not put his back to any of them...

I hope the little white dots help to illustrate the boundaries of the charter. It might seem a little metagamey but you do have them written on paper.

Secondly, our wiggles are looking are looking a little scarce. This is because I'm fading out each days worth of travel as you go. Staying in one place for several days get's that fade caught up with you ;) Good news though, I'm not deleting them so at the end of your travels I'll be able to select them all, put them at 100% opacity and we can see everywhere you've been!

The dotted line is great, I really had no idea what the limits of our charter were, or if we were halfway done or 10% of the way done or what!

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

Why are you guys still spelling out mites? I kinda figured you did it earlier so the kobolds wouldn't catch on but now I'm not so sure...


M Human Cavalier /1st

lol, Kal is just being extra cautious, I think that is why we were doing it earlier.

Dark Archive

Some dude

It's funny, 'cause kobolds are as smart as humans, on average, which means the kobold guy is probably wondering what the heck we are doing, or if we know something that he doesn't, like that Mites have the supernatural ability to know if someone mentions them by name.

Then again, *Goblins* are mechanically as smart and wise as humans, and they tend to be depicted in Pathfinder as having Int and Wis scores around 6-ish... :)

Also, doh, I blew Action points on negotiations with a flunky! Negotiations with Chief Sootscale are gonna be trickier!


Noooooooooooooooooo. My Alias got figured out!!!

*cries*

I confess! There was already a "Tuck" alias. So I made "Tuck "

*sniffles*

Now it is all lame....

If it helps, consider him a good will ambassador.

Imagine everything you wouldn't know if that had turned into a fight.

You might be able to get Gary to change it to Tuck [Insertlastnamehere]or something, if you ask nicely.

Oh, I'm fine with it, I just worry about it all going to pot when I roll a 1 attempting to sweet-talk Chief Sootyfoot, and having to gank him and install Norkyl as my puppet-regent...

:)

My god, I've spelled that darn kobold's name four different ways before I got it right! Rokyn, Rokyl, Nokyl, Norkyl, whatEVER!

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

Well since you still have Action Points left you can overspend your last ones for another nat 20 ;)


M Human Cavalier /1st

you could always dress it up different. **Tuck** x_Tuck_x

though really, I think so long as you use that pic, we should be fine. I know in another pbp I play in there is somebody using that pick and I keep wanting to call him tuck and not quite trust him.


Yeah, was just spelling mites because Ox and Garick were. And I think Kal would be okay staging a coup if it meant getting the kobolds on our side.


M Human Cavalier /1st

especially if they guy is really evil.

Garick is telling me how they are going to turn on us, but I want to keep the puppies!

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

One good reason not to head straight to kobold territory now is that Norkyl's party will take 10 days to get back to the Cavern.

Though it might be funny if you go there and just have tons of kobold murder and they show up.

Grand Lodge

lol I love the idea of trying to get the mooks to live peacefully with us Garick is much more a pessimist than I. I spelled out mites because it seemed the little guy was having trouble speaking common i was hoping spelling would be beyond his grasp.the first time Set spelled the little guy's name wrong it was when he was translating so I thought he was translating the name t common lol. I like the boarder lines, and look forward to seeing our trail when we are done.


M Human Cavalier /1st

The black hexes are driving me insane. I look forwarrd to see ing what prize is in each and every one! mean frog people. yay!

I am less worried about the kobolds turning on us, in the long-term, than on new settlers not really getting the whole 'allies' thing and negating the 'treaty' by ganking the little creeps.

The best long-term solution I can think of is to attempt to convert them to the faith of Erastil. They already show signs of heirarchy, with multiple ranks, including assigned leaders for patrols and scouting missions, which suggests that a lawful diety associated with the wilderness, hunting and community / family might fit passably well into their world-view.

The death of their shaman, who undoubtedly worships a less community-building-friendly power, turns out to be a likely necessity anyway, if we are to work with them in future.

I doubt they'll ever be lawful *good* worshippers of Erastil, but if their evil tendencies can be tempered by a more lawful neutral aspect, it could be do-able.

I'm starting to think a little more long-term than normal about stuff like this, obviously. Spell research might even come into play, if I can think up some appropriate conjuration-esque ways to make settling or developing land, or assisting in construction (by summoning longer-duration non-combat workers of some sort, like a 'summon unskilled laborer' version of the Mount spell), or whatever.

Since something like 60% of the party is skilled at Diplomacy (even Ox! With a name like Ox, diplomacy is not the first thing one would expect...), at least the inevitable dispute-resolution phase should go passably well. :)


M Human Cavalier /1st

I love it. give them to the blind priest. bwhahahaha

I guess we wouldn't have to tell the priest that his new parishoners were non-human...

Oh turn the kobalds into Erastil worshiping scouts for the kingdom your pulling me in Set.

They seemed hopeless to convert to Gorum, but Erastil is surprisingly compatible with some of their big issues. It could be fun!


I wonder how compatible frogmen would be to Gorum?

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

I do not know, but I will shortly. Kingmaker #4 Blood for Blood has a detailed look at The Life of Boggards. They play a large role in that book. I've only glanced through the book so far (mainly to look at the pretty pictures).

Each book continues to be more awesome then the last. There are so many things I wish I could spoil.

Completely unrelated to the plot:
There's a hex with a 12-headed Hydra in it :3


M Human Cavalier /1st

Spoiler:
ohhhhhh hydra! that sounds delicious!

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

Hide your women and children...:
...it has 12 attacks and pounce.


M Human Cavalier /1st

By then we should be level 7, I say bring it!( I've always been fool hardy though)

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 4

lol, level 7.....noooo nooo you finish Book 2 at level 7. Blood for Blood starts at level 10.

Also, you totally had the chance to play with the lizards. Been in that camp for like two days.
