Mummy's Mask

Game Master Samy

We need to recover the mummified cat and sell that as well.

I could take the shield but I do not know how often it would be used. I am going to try to avoid melee. That seems to be handled fairly well already and once she is with baby melee sounds like a bad idea. My plan is to try to shoot from the back until I get some damage spells. Mostly I will randomly dance and make the occasional joke.

Turel doesn't need any of the other magical items on the list, so I say we sell the shield and the mummified cat as well.

Would I be able to swap the trait around in this time Samy? Also I apologize for the lack of posting in the gameplay. Life has been giving me the metaphorical shaft and I have had little desire to do anything. If I seem to drift off again that is probably it and I apologize in advance.

I have been a bit swamped the past few days, but I'll try to read gameplay and catch up. I keep seeing the number of posts growing!

Hmm

Don't worry about the lack of posting. You post more when life gives you time, and you post less when life is busy. I'm sure it will even out over time.

Deseri, sure, swap the trait, no big deal.

Updated treasure list with mummified guardian and switched Panhet's ring for the 150gp reward for it.

Gave you XP for returning Panhet's ring. You are so close to level 3 you can taste it.

Updated Harmose, Aleris, Turel and Kito's relationship rolls onto the table.

Aleris if I had my fluffy wings at this point they would be so ruffled.

I found this picture and just thought it was cute. Closer in angry pregnant Deseri but that is for later.

Aww, everyone loves owls!

They are my favorite bird. So fluffy, adorable, and dramatic. Also the head twisty thing. And I am a night person.

I'm just gonna let you guys work this out. Let me know when you are ready to proceed.

Samy since it is a sacred white crocodile is there at least a small temple to Sobek?

From what I understand of that particular Deity he is not the most pleasant. Paizo gave him the name The Raging Torrent, so he is an angry guy. He is also tied to fertility and the army. I know there is something that could help but I am having issues thinking of how to put it.

Religion is not really Deseri's thing but if I can help someone else come up with something I am down for it. My thoughts are something along the idea that he is selling the future of the armies necessary for the city of Wati. By continuing to sell the you of a sacred creature of Sobek's he is crippling the military power of this city. Not sure if that will scare him but it might scare others. We could trying taking the information public and let the people decide his fate.

I am very bad at being intimidating. Mean and offensive I can do. Lying even is a skill but scaring people is just not something I a very good at.

On a side note with letting the people decide the fate of the offender my players did that in my game a little while ago and they were surprised once they wondered back to where they left him that the towns folk had hung him from a tree. I was a so close on a d100 roll to having him drawn and quartered.

^ I like that idea, but I think we're still supposed to not draw any public attention to this whole shebang? Though I suppose technically we could do it in a way that doesn't trace back to us; whoever this guy is connected to can't take any sort of public action against us in reprisal because that would mean that they knew about what he was doing and did nothing.

Hum...

That was what I was thinking. Or we could at least threaten him with the idea of it.

No, the ancient Egyptian gods are not commonly worshiped in Osirion. It would be like having a temple to Frigga in Jacksonville. I guess it's theoretically possible but...no.

Damn, ok so I need a modern equivalent for than and I am not sure there is one. Samy what makes the crocodile sacred?

Its rare white coloration is seen as a message from gods.

Despite the fact that the old gods are not currently worshipped in Osirion, there is at least one party member here who has been constantly telling everyone about how he died -- and traveled with Horus -- and was telling people about walking through the lands of Anubis.

I wonder if I can share revelations about holy crocodiles -- particularly because of the legends of Osiris, Isis and the crocodile that ate Osiris's man-parts. (Des and I share the same obsessions!)

Are you talking about Osiris?

Yes, Osiris!

Share away! The campaign has a Devotee of the Old Gods trait for a reason -- knowing about the Old Gods is supposed to be open to knowledgeable PCs even if NPCs generally don't.

To echo Turel's IC question, everybody ready to move on, or do you still have anything to chime in before we shift scenes?

At the risk of having something go hilariously wrong during this whole operation, I'm fine to move on if everyone else is. I know there are probably some more fine details we could hammer out but for the sake of the game itself I don't think we need to let things slow down too much.

Good to go - improv is the thing ;)

Let's do it. What's the worst that could happen? I mean, besides being eaten by a random white crocodile...

Yes! Someone asked what's the worst that could happen. Thank you ;) we can totally move on now. If you hadn't asked it I would have. Lets do this

Move along.

Sure, no idea what I will do but it is time to move along.

I posted in gameplay to move us forward. Sorry, was busy the past few days with birthday, then work.

Back now!

Yay Kito will be confused like me!

I won't be able to post today or tomorrow but on Sunday I'll move us forward.

Sounds excellent!

Sunday is my face to face game but I am happy to move this one along whenever that is.

That is more time I can focus on finding a theme song for my Way of the Wicked game. The Ogres skull belt need to sing!

Working on a post now.

Yay!

Hubba Flubba Wabba Zabba! Hehe, I enjoyed that possibly more than I should have.

Waiting until we ladies enter before trying failing the perception check. :)

Harmose, Polux, am I waiting on you or are you waiting on me? Just so I know. :)

I'm done :D

I was waiting on you, but I've moved forward.

Gang, I'll probably be out until Sunday afternoon. Crazy busy early weekend coming up. Just wanted to give fair warning.

Well, this should be interesting...

Qari shakes her head as the ruse immediately hits a speedbump. She doesn't give up hope just yet, as she fully expected Harmose to be able to carry the performance all by himself.

Ouch! :P

In all seriousness though, hope your weekend goes well and we'll see you in a few days!

Okay guys, that was impressive. Due to solving the problem and incorporating some excellent RP, the party gains 1600XP. You may now level your characters to level 3.

BOOOOM!

Though Harmose... That story.... Dang! :D

Woo hoo!

Thank you, Samy and Polux. I'm pleased that you enjoyed how I took some of the myths of Sobek and ran them through a blender. Props to Turel, both for agreeing to be my other Blues Brother, and also for putting up with me texting the phrase "I ate a god penis and now I'm awesome!" to him multiple times while I was composing this.
