@julian - provides a logical basis to be a fructarian :) though I'd imagine dryads aren't put off by eating a few squirrels now and then.
@Arc did you make a ruling on my trait question? Can I adapt defender of the society?
I can't wait to get in with you guys I love that this thread is super active!
no society traits
Copy that, I will go with the other one then.
This tread has everything!
Reactionary is a combat trait, as is armor expert. You can't normally have more than one of each type of trait. DM will have to confirm, but you might want to look for a back-up.
Zythris please re eyeball my sheet.
I do like to expand upon the world a bit to draw people in. Plus its more fun than:
You meet a dyrad , she thanks you for completing your quest to kill said monster, now loading next part of quest line...
All the men should be keeping a watch tonight. Hot dryad on sorcerer cuddling. Have a combined charisma of around 40. You don't want to miss that.
And yes, its definitely more fun then the alternative approach.

Amen brother I didn't realize you we're a disciple of Calistra!
Guys I am going to be driving all day but will check in at gas breaks. I will post if I get brought in. I was hoping for more dryad interaction but I can see why the girls want to move on. I would do the same if we come across the Chippendale orcs. I don't need to see that crap in my mind! Lol.
I don't mind cuddling with the dryad some more. I'm merely out of things to say/ask.
What is it you don't like about the mental image of Jediah?
I like the mental image...
@ARC
I hope you and your family are doing well.
Thanks, everything's fine now
To help with with some stuff coming up later...
Can each of you list two or three things your character's friends would know that your character would like as a gift.
a vote on living alone or living together.
& A piece of imagery that your character is fond of or if you have already made it up your personal heraldry.
Jediah likes mountains.(Hence his last name since he doesn't want his former father's name)
A nice hat. Something made of fur that is prized.
Good climbing gear. Always valuable in the north.
Ana misses the big city. She would like a trip to a major city (scroll of teleport?). For a less expensive gift: anything imported from the south (fashion, wine, ...), or a fancy dinner.
She wants to have a family, eventually.
Heraldry:
an upside down hut with chicken legs, burning. Circled by three magic missiles.

A pretty new dress, either in pale green or pale blue.
A new fur cloak with matching fur lined boots. Perhaps mink or arctic fox.
a vote on living alone or living together.
Together.
& A piece of imagery that your character is fond of or if you have already made it up your personal heraldry.
A white owl flying over snow-capped mountains.

Actually, the items they were considering for the Oakrun also appealed to Rutilux, a fancy new saddle (but quality in performance as well), or a piece of fine art he might one day display at the new family home. A shield or cloak bearing his family arms might also delight him (See below)
A magic weapon of his own is an eventual goal, but he hardly expects a grand gesture from anyone and if the bards are right, he'll find one in some adventure or another eventually ;)
a vote on living alone or living together.
Eventually, Rutilux wants an estate, be it grand or small, castle or manor, for his family. However, he himself need not live there and has no trouble with being 'stationed' where his lord wants him. He enjoys the company of most of the party, and considers them boon companions.
He IS expected to marry eventually, and he worries his family will try to arrange one for him (He himself would prefer to marry for love, but is not sure he'll be granted that privilege. The ways of Ulfen 'Nobles' are still odd to him and his family wants him to 'marry well'.)

I'm not sure this will work...

I do not know heraldic terms well enough to describe it well and the above image needs trimming up a bit, but hopefully you can see it.
if you can't...
in the ancient scholar speech it would translate loosely to
"A BIG BIG Shield thingy with a dark blue top, and a pretty white bottom separated by a puzzlebox like line like a castle wall. The top has a majestic white eagle displayed (really, like polish patriotic awesomeness) and in the bottom white area are TWO ebony black horsies who look raring to go pull the Budweiser cart!!" (Cart thankfully missing)
I'm sure there was a more dignified way to say that :o

Things Julian would enjoy: food and drink of his homeland (sake, sushi); materials for making poison (he's a practical lad), nicely-fletched arrows.
Julian doesn't care how or where he sleeps so far.
His heraldry would be a flaming katana and bow over a field of white.
This is cool!
Why does she always have to speak in riddles?
For Thorvald
He would like someone to sing of him someday.
He would like his shield enchanted someday for he has made it and wielded it himself and could become a weapon of his legacy.
He would like to bear and use an ancient suit of armor, a weapon or have some other ancient thing that proves his link to the heroes of the past.
He has the signet of the bear skull that would look cool. Or a Celtic boar sigil, but being Ulfen his deeds will choose him his personal title and bragging rights. The bears skull is a family or clan symbol.
As far as living together Thorvald is fine with that in the sagas whole ill ages lived in great houses and hill forts, but he can live in this own house as well.
Not enough reflex saves on this adventure! ;)
Looking over my character sheet, I noticed a mistake. Comes of solely playing with the same group + same houserules. I accidentally grabbed a bonus feat at 1st level, so I shouldn't have mobility yet. I somehow failed to notice this, and I apologize. I have removed the offending feat until 3rd level.
re. loot:
Anastasiya has the royal outfit
Zethyris has the studded leather
Not sure who took the plate... was it Rutilux?
The axe I think Jediah took, but it's not on his sheet.
Scrolls I assume we gave to Ana/Dagmar
Potions... not sure.
Also, there is Ungrill's great axe. I assumed we weren't using it, but I suppose the option is there.
In addition, I think a lot of stuff was left back at Merroh with the horses. (We were only going to find this axe at the time). This includes (my assumptions only, feel free to fix this):
-The half-plate (as it needs to be fitted first)
-Broken Spyglass
-The gems
-The bell
-Saddle Pack (book still inside? not sure if anyone grabbed that)
And we each have taken 147/6 = 24.5 gp each (or 147/7 = 21 if we're sharing with Andreas too) as Ana took the robe instead. The rest of the money is in gems/the spyglass, so not as liquid funds. Yet.
I turned the gems and spyglass into cash which can be assumed to be hocked when we get back to town. Jediah is carrying the axe but really likes his glaive so he won't use it unless we are whacking fey.

The plate's fate is up for debate ;) It's Between Jediah and Rutilux last I heard.
Can each of you list two or three things your character's friends would know that your character would like as a gift.Isham's not much on material stuff, except in their utility. His driver is much more respect, professionalism and ambition. So...
- riding lessons (professionalism...)
- a leadership position (captaincy of a platoon, a ship/squadron, or similar) (ambition)
- a land grant of some sort - with or without title, with or without subjects (ambition)
- poem/song commemorating deeds (respect)
Currently, the Kodiakborn's sigil/seal is the greatest sign of respect Isham has ever received. It's exactly that sort of recognition and empowerment that he was not receiving in Rahadoum and caused him to line up behind the Kodiakborn.

vote for together - barracks-style, ship-style

Such a thing has not yet presented itself to Isham, though if pressed to create a banner or heraldry, it would feature ocean/waves, and a nereid. Similarly, a figurehead (as for a ship) would also incorporate a nereid. This is evolving, and at some point Isham's going to start incorporating earth and ice. But he hasn't had a need for such a banner or heraldry yet :)
Dagmar will hang onto the saddlebag with the book.
As soon as this ends I'll be bringing in you Thorvald okay.
Rip "Thorvald" van Winkel, suspended in the throes of an evil fae bit of shrubbery... :)
argh. I was thinking acid splash was a 5' splash, and double-cool against swarms. <grumble> still not bad though. and dagmar's got the area attack - but it's flame-based, and she's... distracted.... <sigh>
we may just have to do this the hard way :)
I think Jediah and Rutilux are getting cheated. The rogue gets to grab Dagmar and we're playing twister with the ninja?
:)
Well, no one's grabbed Dagmar yet. Ya could have chosen differently. :P
Though I know Dagmar isn't full figured enough for Jediah anyway. :)
I like my women able to take care of themselves at home and the battlefield. Cook, clean and able to wrestle me to the ground!
How good's your will save vs slumber big guy? ;)
+3 +5 vs. fear and +4 vs. Mind effecting.
note to self insert female ogre in future for Jediah
Whoa..too much inbreeding and she might try to eat my mom.
I am good and ready. I was going to put that for Thorvald he would like Ana and Dagmar in a pavilion with some peanut butter a Dixie cup and . . . Oh never mind I will just stick with my first post.
Two girls one... DO NOT GOOGLE THAT!

It is a very rogue-ish thing to do, no? ;)
These dice - two 20's on initiative, then failing grapple checks until another 20...
Also, @DM - Still thinking on the earlier request. I'll post it up once I've got something.
Well, just watch where ya put your hands when ya do succeed at that grapple. ;)
Then you can do the Jay and Silent Bob Hollywood scene until she comes around. Sorry the movie was just on my mind.
sorry Zethyris I must have missed it. What request?
I think Zehtyris hasn't been present or heraldry shopping yet :)
I think Zehtyris hasn't been present or heraldry shopping yet :)
Yep! Still thinking.
okay I thought you meant you asked me for something
