Mystery of the Keepers (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

Razmir the man known as the living god is making his move expanding into neighboring nations. It seems nobody can stop him as his power truly seems to be that of a god. A select few know the secret of his power and are taking steps to end his rule with the help of another who wields the same power as Razmir. Sazed Khaim a member of the old order of the keepers.

Houserules:

Houserules:

Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.

Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.

if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.

Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.

Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...

Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: Everyone have fun.

Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).

Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

OK, all done apart from Feat selection.

I gained Summon Monster V as an SLA when I am not using my Eidolon (Like that's ever gonna happen...)
+1 to Fortitude and Reflex saves
+1 x 3rd level spell/day
+1 x 3rd level spell known (Wall of Ice)
+8 HP
+13 temporary HP (from my Eidolon)
+2 Evolution Pool Points (I got Bite and Improved Natural Armor)
+1 Natural Attack (so 5 attacks now)
+5 Skill Ranks (2 Base +2 Int +1 Favoured Class Bonus)(Fly, Knowledge (planes), Perception, Spellcraft, Use Magic Device)

Incidentally, my Use Magic Device stands at +19, which is an auto succeed on any wand (DC 20 to use a wand).

All I need do is finalise my feat selectionand I'm good.

okay - I decided on Jabbing Style for my 7th lvl feat, and probably mobility for 9th lvl... unless anyone has a better suggestion. It does seem to suit his fighting style

Adding furious focus to improve those first hits.

Took detect poison as my next spell as always handy.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

Unless someone has a better idea, I'll take Combat Reflexes as my Feat.

Will there be a chance to buy stuff before the next leg of the adventure?

so does anyone have a record of how much money we might actually have to spend?


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

Well, I have 4671gp, 6sp and 5cp. I keep a record on my character sheet.

Not sure if we got any treasure so far on this adventure, apart from the things that attacked us in fairyland we have had no battles. Not even sure if we stopped to pick up any treasure they had, so we may well have had nothing. My funds are left over from before this adventure, when I was saving up for something, but this is more important.

I will spend 4000gp on getting a belt of incredible dexterity (+2). That will increase my AoO to 2 per round.

Yeah, I have 2706 gp, but that hasn't changed in forever, so I don't think I was keeping track, tbh.


True no new money has come in a while still you should be able to manage until you rescue the soul at which point you can expect a large cash reward

I'm still carrying 8877gp, 8sp, 3cp which I believe was communal funds of some fashion.

If we are about to get into a fight with an Outsider, a wand of align weapon or an arrow of slaying (outsider) might be an appropriate purchase.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

I don't think this priest is an outsider. He can call outsiders, sure, and the wand or arrow would work for that, but the priest himself is just a nasty human, so far as we know.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

I should add I'm off to EuroDisney early Friday morning, the Hotel where we are staying should have Wifi, but if it doesn't bot me until I get back (late on Monday)


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

So, what exactly is our plan of action?

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Inquisitor of Pharasma 11 l AC 24 T 13 FF 21 l HP 54/69 l F +9* R +7* W +12* l Init +5 l Perc +17

Devyhn and Erik go through the front door, everyone else comes in through side entrances and/or windows and prepares to hit him when he attacks us or tries to escape.

I know, not fancy. Feel free to amend.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

Sounds good. Fancy plans usually fall apart the first time something goes wrong, simple plans can be amended on the fly.Besides, there is less chance of misunderstandings with a simple plan.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

Bump


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

Let's discuss some options. We can refine it when we have a map to look at.

I can form a Wall of Ice that will keep the guards at bay long enough to bypass them, but I would suggest doing so only if negotiation fails, not least because some of them may be able to maneuver before I get the chance to neutralise them, which could make things awkward.

Anyone else got any suggestions.

Feel free to Aid Another on my cruddy Diplomacy roll.

This is the roll that mattered. grrrr. I thought my bonus would get me over the hump.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

lol, the downside of being in stealth mode is you can't help someone without revealing your presence.

Yeah I'm feeling that too.. sneak sneak


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

If you want my advice, ask the paladin to examine the ring to see whether it is a large, valuable black sapphire. These are the gems used to Soul Bind, but such knowledge could be considered Metagaming.

Also remember that the protean's words were verified by an Inevitable- so they are not just the words of an unpredictable protean

At this point, the ball's in his court.

Will be at Gamex this weekend (Fri-Mon)... will check in as and when I can, but no guarantees - depends on hotel wifi and charging possibilities... Bot me as necessary to keep the pace of the game up, don't want to slow things down.

So we are now coming up to three years of this game (tomorrow by my reckoning).

We would all like to take this opportunity to thank DireMerc for all his hard work keeping it going. We've clubbed together and there should (hopefully, if I can competently manage the Paizo website) be a token of all our thanks winging its way to you now.

I'd just like to add a few extra thoughts just from me. I don't talk about my personal life much, but since we started this game I've had a baby, been to two funerals (one expected, one very much not) and changed jobs. We've had numerous hospital trips for close family. Throughout all these events this game has provided constancy and an opportunity to escape, as well as a lot of fun.

Thanks so much DireMerc.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

Yeah, thank you DireMerc.


Thank you and I want to thank all of you sticking around as well. There have been many instances were I was not able to post for weeks at a time were I expected you would leave but you all stuck around.

I admit things have changed a lot for me as well. I moved three times changed jobs twice (gonna be 3 times in a few weeks I think) got a girlfriend (been together a year now) couple funeral a surgery or two all In all I always did my best to check in as often as I could.

Lets keep it going and one day you can face off against Razmir himself.

Yes, thank you SO much DireMerc for the game and your time and hard work... It's been a lot of fun, and as said, a great distraction too...

My life hasn't changed as much as a lot of you... We moved about a year ago, and my son and dau in law moved in with us to our upstairs unit, so it hasn't been a totally event free few years. It's been interesting having the kids with us, but luckily they are quiet and not too demanding, just a financial drain as they aren't working and don't pay any rent. Hopefully they will find jobs soon and get their own place, but until then, we are hosting.

oh my... we are going to face a living god? Hopefully not yet, lol...

Hey Guys, I need to give you all a heads up:

My landlord decided to sell the house I am currently renting, so I have been given 30 days to vacate.

My family and I have to locate and secure a new place to live, pack, and move within that time period, and to put it mildly, I’m pretty stressed at the moment.

I have no intention of dropping out of the game, but my post rate may be limited until I can get everything back in order.

I will try to check in and post as much as I can, but if you find yourselves waiting on me to do something, please bot my character, as needed, to keep the story line moving. Hopefully once the storm passes, I will be able to jump back in with full enthusiasm.

oooh, sorry to hear that... 30 days ? that's not much time to plan, pack and move a family... Best of fortune in your endeavors... hope you land in a great new place.


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

Man, that's bad news. Have you considered buying it from your landlord? not always a good idea given the need to go where your job takes you, but if you don't think you're gonna be moving on in the near future, it might be worth it, and your landlord might give you a good deal since you are already living there and he knows who he's dealing with (and you're not likely to pull out at the last minute). Just a thought.

Hope you find somewhere nice quickly.


I will check in and do some posting on monday or tuesday night.

This was a rough weekend for me. I have a dnd session every weekend with my real life group and this friday two members were absent and they were brothers. The next day we found out that one of them the younger brother had killed himself. He had just turned 21 last month.

None of us ever saw it coming at all. He was the goofy member of the group that loved roleplaying a stupid half-dragon barbarian with 36 strenght and 5 intelligence.

He will be missed. Funeral is tomorrow wake is tonight.

It's rough. Apparently his father had just returned from a hunting trip and had left a hunting rifle unattended along with some ammo. He hadn't locked it up yet like he usually does and my friend took the gun and shot himself. He didn't leave a note or anything so we will never know why. Nobody knew he was sad or stressed. He recently started smoking weed on a regular basis but none of us saw that as a big deal.

I didn't know him all that well really I've been friends with his older brother for a decade since we went to highschool together but his younger brother only started playing dnd with us two years ago and I never really saw him much outside of dnd or the occasional magic the gathering night or boardgame night.
