Merry Christmas again! Have fun today.
This woman is screwed!
Between Fatigued and Entangled she is rocking -3 to Attack and -3 to AC.
Yes, quite. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Some explination on my RP.
Don't know if any have noticed it... but in RP Ashe is seemingly 'susceptible' to the charms of woman... even if number's-wise he is no less resilient.
Its intentional.
Don't know if you have noticed that there are a lot of powerful and in command women in Kotrvosa. I think there is a deeper more sinister influnce being exerted here in Korvosa... and part of the way I play Ashe is in respects to that.
I know as a player that a GREAT EVIL Sleeps the sleep of ages under the Mastaba of Castle Korvosa.
That Evil is none other than... (pronounced SOHR-shehn) was the ruler of the Thassilonian Realm of Lust,
I just think powerful evil as that sleeping under your feet exerts a will that no spellcaster or divine agent can suppress in total. The Runelord of Lust influences the populous of Korvosa even though she is not awake surrounded by her legions of undead minions in her age long sleep. Her corruptive presence manifests in a city rife with the lusts for power or knowledge or any other endeavor that civilization lends its efforts to. But that corruption and desire manifests more poignantly in women hence the large number of women in positions of power in Korvosa.
It is not that Sorshen is controlling the city - none in the city even realize her evil corruption sleeps far below but her very presence fills Korvosa's citizens with the essence of her drives and unsatiated desires.
It manifests in very subtle quirk in personality or life directing drives in the citizens above... none reacting to it int he same way.
Ashe is affected in that he has a soft-spot for women often times trying to protect or defend them beyond reason or saneness sometimes. He truly wants the Queen to be innocent of the wicked plots here in Korvosa so he has given her the benefit of the doubt.. but a while back ago he realized when he confronted her directly that she was behind this all. It made him VERY angry.. for his wishful trust was totally betrayed. Now it manifests as a desire to understand WHY she's doing this. He will not hold back his hand in stopping her even killing her if he must... but he will try everything to find a way to get an understanding of why she is doing this - perhaps save her from herself if its possible.
I'm demonstrating Sorshen's subtle influence in his reluctance to harm women...not that without her influence Ashe wouldn't bother but his own natural chivalrous and Heroic qualities in regards toward women are just intensified even more.
Don't know if all that makes any sense but this has been the reason for a lot of what makes Ashe tick when it comes to womenfolk. lol!
Hope this does not come off as supremely chauvinist.. that's not my intention, its a role-playing element to the character that forms his personality.
I tend to go with the egalitarian gender theme most role-playing games promote. At times I find I let my natural propensity to protect women seep into my characters, especially so my paladins or warrior types.
It's a biological imperative. If you were studying humans in the same way we study animals, specifically primates, it would be noted that one of the human male's primary duties was the protection of the female and children. Our modern world has eliminated most of the threats that were common to the human female in our wandering days, but the biological imperative still exists. I'm not sure it will ever fully disappear.
When a small group of humans was wandering about in the wild and that pack of lions showed to feed on the humans and their children (pregnant females as well), the human male had to call upon his aggression to go toe to toe with the hungry predator to fight them off. If the male failed, the females had to get that adrenaline pumping and do the same as the last line of defense. That's why we have the upper body strength, muscle density, higher levels of testosterone, and tendency toward violent outburst. If you want to make sure no one destroys your ability to breed (which ultimately the female is), you better be damn good at protecting them.
I don't find Ashe's propensity to protect females chauvinistic. It's as natural as eating or breathing. Though when one of them is a powerful evil priestess killing people I would think her death would be a priority.
In character I picture the true effects of a plague. This is mass murder without regard for age or vulnerability. Deriven has little understanding for seeing Andasian or Ileosa as anything other than hideous monsters that must be ended. The one thing that I personally cannot stand is the murder of children. I have a lot of trouble playing a character that could ever take such a matter lightly. Andasian is a thing of evil to Deriven as is Ileosa. He sees them not as women but monsters, same as if they were the ugliest creature from Lovecraftian myth.
That is my own personal bias. Child murderers are the most hated of things to me. Andasian and Ileosa are first and foremost in Deriven's mind murderers of children. That cannot in anyway be tolerated.
Yeah. Ashe has a soft spot for children as well...
This was a bit before most of you were here but on page 64... about half way down the page.
Here... Paitent 0
Ashe treats a young girl {around age 10?}, who is the first to contract the Blood Veil disease. Its kinda touching or at least I tried to write it so.
I even found a picture of her... {you'd be amazed at what you can find doing google searches!}
Isn't she a sweety? :) I'm glad Ashe was able to save her.
This is the best spell I can provide for an enemy like this...
Daughter of Urgathoa's initiative: 1d20+3
Ok... ouch! So the role-call of actions was ...
Graxer (17) - Inflicting 32 / 38 damage two attacks
Ashe (16) - Inflicting 32 damage one attack
Varrel (11) - casting flaming sphere inflicting 11 damage [REF DC15? - negates]
Daughter of Urgathoa-Andiasin (10) - command spiritual weapon, claw attack at Ashe inflicting 12 damage + disease {Immune}
Damoc (8) - ???
Deriven (6) - casting spear of purity {missed}
...for now that's 102 to 113 points of damage to Andaisin! Is she still standing?
Megan, don't forget the leukodaemon probably has spell resistance. It is an evil outsider.
Uhm... Megan is this a spoiler...?
I'd like to update my write-up of the deck on my sheet if this info is available to Asherick.
Also floks you may want to check out the "Loot" spoiler on Ashe's sheet... hmmm well here...
We have a significant amount of loot, though I still need the particulars of Room G3.

Thanks for the update. Will add varrel's stuff to his page.
Sell the rest? We should have a good amount of cash.
Edit: The 'slimy fellow' spellcasters had a +1 cloak of resist I'd like if nobody else needs it.
Is this the end of this module? Or do we have something else to do?
Ah...ok. I did a goggle search on Zellara's Harrow deck and it pointed me there. I was curious if there were any pictures of the deck. I didn't read any of it as I don't want spoilers so I figured I'd ask first. Yes, Ashe did consult Calatin about the Harrow deck to have it fully identified. If necessary I'll have Ashe visit her to get the full details. Thanks for her last name... didn't have that before.
As for room G3 we saw there was more there but did not collect it as there were no threats in the room so we noted it and bypassed it. We'll go back and collect the loot now all foes are vanquished.
By the way... can the statue of Urgathoa be melted down to raw gold? If so..how many pounds of gold is that? Yeah Ashe is going to DESTROY this temple...COMPLETELY!
Oh, and Ashe's sword is not intelligent... I'm just RPing Ashe learning the name of his Celestial Spirit from his weapon Bond that resides within his choosen weapon. This is the first Evil Outsider Ashe has killed with Dauntless Heart. Labbiel is the name of the celestial spirit, for those interested in trivia its also the name of the Angel that became Raphael {The Shining one who heals}. It seemed appropriate for Ashe! :)

...AND... are we getting close to next level? :)
Not sure if this is end of Module, but has been the biggest fights for some time.
Yeah, so from Room G3... we need more detail on...
{G3}
Locked glass-fronted cabinet
Jar containing black opals [??Gp ea ‘???gp”]
delicate doctors' instruments — jars of unguents, syringes, magnifying glasses
something magical in back of the glass cabinet, behind the jar of onyx gems
Oh.. and before I total the loot and find out the 1/2 sale price... is anyone keeping their ”Plaguebringer’s” Physician's Mask or turning in any specific items to be turned into cash?
Oh and Ashe has no problem with Varrel claiming the +1 Cloak of Resistance.
By the way Megan... do we have a name for the slimy-fella spellcaster... and what spells were in his book?
Damoc won't keep his mask.
Got caught by the holiday today. I'll post in game tomorrow.
Ah. Ok...thanks Damoc.
Oh and Megan as Ashe and Graxer head back to the Circular Statue Chamber... Ashe will check Andaisin's body... for items and collect her scythe.
We probably should also search the circular chamber for any hidden escapes ...like at the base of the statue. There may be also papers or letters on Ansdaisin's person from the queen that might implicate Illeosa. Probably too hopeful at that.
But we want to make sure we thoroughly search this haunt of evil less we miss some bit of information or clue as to why this was being done... or if we can find any directly damning information that implicates the Queen.
Sweet! Leveling to Bard 1! Level 7 feat - Channel Alignment... set up for next level of Holy Vindicator!
Do we get some downtime between the end of this Book and the beginning of the next book? There are some thing Ashe would like to address in the city.
Also we still need to know what items were recovered from Lady Andaisin's body... what was the magic in room G3-locked Cabinet and the value of the items therein.
I'm assuming "Escape from Korvosa" will be cutting us off from ready access to the Academae's resources for sometime to come... so we are going to want to get what we need resource-wise now.
Updated loot list.

Will level up Varrel (3rd Level spells! Yay!) and also if the AP allows, downtime would be awesome. Varrel and Damoc BOTH need to copy both the spellbooks we have found!
What IS in the 'slimy fellow' spellbook?
I can make Spellcraft checks later if you wish.
Oh...

MOONLIGHT STALKER feat!
AWWWW yeah!
I didn't want to disappear in the middle of an adventure as I hate when someone else does it. I'm going to bow out of this campaign.
Thanks for the game, Megan. I appreciate the time running it.
Good luck guys. Enjoy the campaign. Good meeting you all.
There hasn't been any loot that peeked my interest, so ill just take my equal share of sold stuff if that's cool..
Sorry to see you go Deriven... peace man!
Yeah Graxer, no problem. Ashe is keeping his mask as it might be useful to a paladin to not be radiating an aura of goodness when he may someday need to enter a haunt of evil in secret.
Even if not fully worn on your face it obscures your alignment from detection.
So... should we open recruitment again to fill our vacancy?
I Would Prefer we ask Baldwin first (our sorcerer from the LOF game. He is a good player, loves clerics and it is rare a DM gets to play often.
Sounds good to me, Baldwin it is.. if he's interested.
Updated loot. Removed Physician's masks from everyone and unholy symbols of Urgathoa into general resale loot. I'm assuming the useful items are being kept. I think it would be wise to hand the wand of cure serious wounds to Graxer... if that's a spell on his list. Ashe can use the wand of cure disease... but doesn't really need it.. but I think he's the only one in the party that can actually use it.
Just to give some approximation on 4-Way split. Each donating 500gp [2,000gp] to return Arkminos home to Ustalaav.. thats 11,568gp to each.

'This deck is beautifully hand-painted, images decorate this Harrow deck, the frames gilt in silver so that under lighting they sparkle and flash but the deck is quite worn. Despite the worn condition of the card backs, the images on the faces are so vibrant they seem to move when viewed out of the corner of the eye. The deck itself handles with surprising ease, almost shuffling itself. A bent, torn, or lost card always seems to mend itself or reappear when no one is looking. The cards have the ability to repair themselves if badly damaged. It is imbued with Zellara's spirit and she can sense what is going on around it, being able to manifest herself upon occasion as well as use her considerable skill as a Harrower to manipulate the cards. If you hold the deck, it can also tell you about up to 3 magic items per day, acting as an Identify spell.'

:)
Actually just found out Inquisitor's can use remove disease...so it really doesn't matter who carries the wands between Ashe and Graxer...
Maddigan, sorry to see you go. Best of luck.
Should the split go 5 ways? Surely we'd give Deriven his share before he goes.
Uhm... how many Black onyx gems in the Jar? You never told us.
Perhaps a month...really depends upon how this module resolves out we still need to find the cure and present our evidence to the public ...then witness Queen Ileosa's reactions. That will determine a lot! I know Ashe wants to convince his mother and sister to leave Korvosa... for Magnimar until he knows house Whiteplume will be safe from Queen Ileosa when she realizes Asherick knows shes guilty and after her.
...Wait! The Statue is 3,000lbs! Oh gods.. I think that's too much gold at this point. At 50gp/pound... that 150,000gold! I think that's too much gold in our hands at this point in the AP!
Perhaps you could just give us a 'reasonable' gold reward for melting it down or let us each choose a single moderate magical item not to exceed 5000gp in value?
Or maybe the statue is hollow and weight say only 500 pounds? That's only 25,000gp... much more reasonable!
You shush!
Papa needs a +5 Mithral Scimitar and matching +5 Mithral Breastplate. And a Ring of Wizardy 3 and.....
Guys, regarding leveling --
Feat: I'm thinking Spell Penetration. Damoc is already casting below level because of his level in Ranger. We're going to start seeing creatures with Spell Resistance now. It would be good if his spells have a better chance to affect them.
Spells :
I've got to take a transmutation. I was thinking Greater Magic Weapon. We've got some time and Damoc could help build up your armories. He could push your weapons to +2.
Other transmutation options are : Beast Shape I, Blink, Flame Arrow, Gaseous Form, Secret Page, Shrink Item, Slow, Water Breathing. Blink or gaseous form would be my other choices.
My choice for the second spell would be Summon Monster III. It's flexible and there are some good monsters available now.
Nothing's set in stone and I do respect your opinions, so if you've any advice, fire away.
Buy and copy all those spells from scrolls.
The DM just gave us 125000 gild each.
Lol.
Edit: Water Breathing is already in the spellbook we have. Not sure what's in Rolth's book.
Eh... that's like and additional 37,500gp each...just from the statue. Eh.. that won't but any ...mostly game breaking items. It just seems a lot for level 7 characters is all..
So... disregarding the Black Opals that I need the number to calculate the final cost.. I have a preliminary total.
I did not add the Ungent of Timelessness [150gp], Lady Andaisin's - [4,000gp], [4,000gp], none of the or either... as all these items are useful. Also none of the items already claimed are part of this gold total.
With the 3,000lb statue of gold and each of donating again 500gp [2,000gp] for Arkminos to return home to Ustalaav, a 4-way split is 50,239gp to each of us {after halving the cost of all resold gear}.
Ashe could buy a Sunblade... if one were available or even have one enchanted[but time would be an issue 50days minimum].
I don't know still seems a lot to my sensibilities.
Im of the opinion that if hes leaving he forfeits his share.. Ill wait for Megan to approve the above split before i go on a buying spree..
Ill be leveling Graxer this evening.. Im at a toss up on feats though.. Thinking Steel Soul or Instant Judgement.. Any thoughts..
So ill take the average
7th level (6th wizard) hit point roll :
Varrel yo u seem to have a good grasp on the dwarf inquis.. Which of the 2 above feats would u select for this level? Also i gain 3rd level spells at 7th.. Im for sure selecting heroism but im on the fence about my other spell.. Considering Dimensional Anchor..
Definitely Steel Soul.
We are at the level where spells can really mess you up. Having a +5 (feat,trait) racial vs Magic is a huge boon.
My 2 favorite spells for 3rd level inquisition is Righteous Vigor (for BBEG' fights awesome tank spell)
and
Deadly Juggernaut for Mook melee's
Oooh, and yes please, Megan, we would like to keep going!
So, we have a month of downtime. Will anyone want weapons or armor upgraded? As stated above I'm willing to learn Greater Magic Weapon so that we can +2 everything on the cheap. If you guys don't want to go that route, I'll take a different 3rd level transmutation spell. So get your orders in!
Megan, what is in Slimy man's (RYloth's?) spellbook?
Yeah Ashe will go for a +2 Upgrade to his shield. I'm still pondering what he will buy.
Graxer will take the +2 wisdom headband btw, but yes i will be wanting furious added to my weapon and possibly armor upgrades.. Depending on what money we end up with i will deff be purchasing a Bane Baldric.. Prob look for a cloak upgrade as well.. Again depending on the cash i might end up having my mithril fullplate crafted now.. It allows me to still use my 11th level ability..
