Merry Christmas, everyone!
Merry Christmas!
Can I get off the damned shelf, now?
Nobody touch me, or you'll lose more than just some holiday magic.
Lo, Praxim. Still here. Very busy for the holidays, so getting caught up.
I've got Thordak pretty much leveled up. I'm still trying to nail down a rage power though.
I have the toughest time with those.
Let me know when you are all leveled-up and ready. No rush, I'm still pretty busy.
OK, updated to level 10, another level of sorcerer.
Added spells, 4th, Dimension Door (but if people think I should get Black Tentacles instead can change to that), 3rd fly, stinking cloud, 2nd web.
Skills +1 Spellcraft, +1 UMD, +1 Bluff
the extra 3rd level spell known comes from human alt favored class bonus
new bloodline ability - Dreamshaper
P.S. can anyone create wondrous items? .... maybe my next feat?
I've got Craft magic weapons. I may add more Crafting-feats if the DM will oksy them.
I have no problem with crafting feats. In fact, in all of our RL games, someone has one or two. Most economical way to get the things you want/need. The only issue game-wise is finding the time to craft. Not really an issue in RotRL.
Okay. Got the rage power decided. I'm good to go.
I'm delayed until tomorrow - New Year's Day - on an update. Apologies, but the week after Christmas is actually one of the busiest for me.
Also - Happy New Year to all. Wishing you the best for 2016.
I hope you don't mind the extra information that I throw in on geography and other stuff. I just feel that it helps round out the story as a real, live, place and not just a paper adventure.
Not at all; I appreciate it! ^^

Today's magical menu:
0 - Acid splash, Dancing lights, Detect magic, Detect poison
1 - Ear-piercing shriek x2, Mage armour, Magic missile x2, Shield, Summon minor monster
2 - Darkness, Gust of wind, Scorching ray x2, See invisibility, Web
3 - Daylight, Dispel magic, Fireball, Summon monster III, Tiny hut
4 - Black tentacles, Ghost wolf, Greater invisibility, Iceball, Summon monster IV
5 - Ball ice, Geniekind, Overland flight, Wall of force
The Tiny Hut is in case we get stuck out in the swamp overnight. The Ghost wolf is my ride. ;)
Due to an oversight on my side, it's actually 3 magic missiles and 2 summon minor monsters. No ear-piercing shrieks. ^^;
My apologies for the delay in getting back. Worked through the New Year's weekend combined with a stomach flu and a busted ankle left me low for the first week of the new year.
Added a level of fighter.
-Changes to HP, Fort, and BAB has been updated.
-Used Fighter Skill to modify Weapon Focus feat and added Bonus Feat for AC.
Point of Clarification: Lamatar is the missing Black Arrow captain. The one who wrote the love sonnets to 'Myriana'.
Jakardros is the second-in-command, Shalelu's father, and the one who led the patrol the night the ogres attacked.
Both were away when the Kreegs descended on Fort Rannick. You now suspect Kaven had something to do with that, most likely at Lucrecia's request.
I was under that impression. Kellen has no doubt that Kaven was their traitor; based on what happened - although I hadn't thought about the Lucrecia part. The missing part was what happened to Lamatar; and that's still a mystery. Although Kellen is probably thinking "dead-man" at this point.
Got a job interview tomorrow, probably won't be able to post

Good luck then.

Nice interview, unfortunately didn't get the job ...
Oh well ... it was good practice and one of the interviews took my details to pass onto some other organisations so you never know.

Sorry to hear it didn't pan out. But good fortune that it works out.
Gang, long holiday weekend here, just got back. Will catch up tomorrow.
To get into the rowing as they move along, Kellen starts quietly warbling out a tune:
"Adelida, pretty little Varisian queen! Belle of the bayou; you're every young man's dream. To stand beside ya, sweet Adelida, I'd swim the Jegg-a-re!"
Lol! I knew I knew that song! I was looking at it and thought: "Man, that looks familiar." Good one, dude. Been forever since I heard that one. :)

Seemed appropriate since we're in a swamp. ;-)
Just for clarification purposes, paladin's are immune to shaken, correct? Because I believe it's a lesser form of fear. But don't quote me on that.
Mainly I ask because Praxim rolled a save but initially I didn't think he had to. Of course, I could easily be wrong. That tends to happen a lot with me. :P
Edit: This is completely based off the fact Praxim doesn't have some type of archetype ability that replaces his immunity to fear. If that's the case then just ignore everything I wrote above. :P
Sorry I wasn't around. For some reason I didn't get notifications of new posts...

Aura of courage is replaced with shared precision.
Ah, I was wondering if that might be the case. Nothing to see here, folks, move along.
OK, sounds good to me .... will cheerfully move on .. ;-)
And good to have Lym back after dropping the dot ...
Driving this part forward a bit now. There's some good encounter scenes here as you approach the middle of Whitewillow, and I don't want to leave them out, but I don't want this to be too overwhelming or boring in this format.
I'll go with whatever you say GM, you know it better than us ... but you have made the place really scary now ...
Man I'm glad you remembered as well, Tomaru. Because I don't remember either of those items AT ALL. Nothing. Nada. Zero. I got nothing. It's pretty shameful actually.
Heck, like I mentioned a while back, I read this whole AP when it first came out and vaguely remember that picture OG put up for us but that's it. No idea who she is/was and don't remember Whitewillow or the fey named "Yap" either.
I ran in Second Darkness in RL several years ago and remember a ghost in that one pretty clearly but I believe I'm getting the two confused. I keep thinking to myself: "Isn't this dead guy we're looking for washed up near the shore off a cliff?" If any of you have played SD I believe that's fairly accurate. Because that's what's stuck in my mind. And so very little sticks there unfortunately. :P
I'm curious... do we even have any money? I don't remember really collecting any cash at all. All I've got showing on Thordak's cash is 29 gold.
And just a shot in the dark here, but, I'm guessing 29 gold is probably not gonna get me my Hammer of Thunderbolts I've been wanting. ;P
I am glad to have that new spell in my arsenal.
Lucretia zipped around so much last time that we couldn't beat her. Thos time, I should be able to prevent her from doing that. Viva Dimensional Anchor!

It was awhile back, but keep in mind that after selling all the stuff and collecting stuff from the trips into fort and lairs, we have more than that.
There's still some gear left over from the dam encounter - especially the gloves and the nasty fork/trident - that we could put up for sale for the next go around.
So, to answer your question - I'm not sure what a Hammer of Thunderbolts costs, but you have way more than 29 gold to work with.
Not sure what would help on Magic Items, unless you can craft +2 or better short sword, maybe?
As for items, we had from the last trip (and what people have claimed):
Phylactery of Positive Channeling - ?
Scroll of Cone of Cold - Lym
Scroll of Hold Monster - Rhianni
Scroll of Telekinesis - Rhianni
+1 Ogre Hook - ?
Gloves of Swimming and Climbing - ?
Magic Trident?
Ioun Stone - Lym
Behir Comb (worth 850gp)
Also - correction on the coinage:
Party total is 5,157gp
The split would be 860gp each.

Lol! I was only kidding about that. It's an artifact. :)
Yeah I don't think the Trident was identified. I'm curious as to what it does.
That Phylactery NEEDS to go to Tomaru. That's a cool item. Dangit. I just checked. He's got a headband of wisdom. Man that's pretty handy though. +2d6 bonus to channel.
No one took the gloves of swimming and climbing? Heck, I'll take 'em if no one wants them. ORRRRR, we could sell them and get 3000g for them. That's tempting.
We sell the +1 ogre hook.
Final call for magic weapons! Who wants me to make them one? Keep in mind the time constraint. ^_^
You have more than one +1 ogre hook. Thordak took one, but you should have a total of 5 more , PLUS the +1 human-bane ogre hook from Jaargrath. You know, the one that nearly killed Tomaru. I just went back and rechecked the numbers of ogre fighters.
The trident is a +1 vicious adamantine trident.
EDIT: Just saw that Thordak has the human-bane hook, so you have 6 +1 ogre hooks.
I got nothing. I'm good. Thanks though!
If no one else wants me to craft them a weapon, I'm using my cash to improve my falchion and scribe scrolls of Dimensional anchor.
I say we trade them for 3 other weapons.
You talking about the Ogre hooks? Sounds good to me. Matter of fact, might as well sell the Human bane one also.
5 +1 ogre hooks: 11,740g
1 +1 ogre hook(human bane): 8,348
Total: 20,088 divided by 2 = 10,044 gold. About 1600 gold each.
@OG: The trident is a medium weapon, right? I can't remember if scrags are medium or large creatures.
If the trident's large, I'm tempted to use it. Otherwise, I say we sell it also.
I'd like to keep one of the +1 ogre hooks if the trident is medium sized. Just to have an up close magical melee weapon.
But I say we go ahead and sell the human bane one. Of course, as soon as we do that, there'll be a bunch of bad guy humans marching in by the dozens. That's how it always works you know. :P
And this is all based on the fact that if we can actually sell all this stuff of course.
The items I list are from the latest foray that haven't been sorted/sold. Everything previous to the dam incident should be covered and distributed. So new review:
Phylactery of Positive Channeling - Sell = 5,000gp
Scroll of Cone of Cold - Lym
Scroll of Hold Monster - Rhianni
Scroll of Telekinesis - Rhianni
+1 Ogre Hook (x6) - Sell = 6,972gp
Gloves of Swimming and Climbing - Sell=3,125gp
+1 Vicious Adamantine Trident - Sell=21,315gp
Ioun Stone - Lym
Behir Comb - Sell= 850gp
Coinage:
Party total is 5,157gp
The split would be 860gp each.
*Doesn't count the above stuff if sold*
Lym: Can you make my +1 Mithral Short Sword higher? (+2?)
