Outbreak

Game Master Schiffer



Okay guys so welcome back to the outbreak. Until we finish Jacob's campaign we will play on here so that the story of Alesia.

This thread here will be used for out of character discussion. If you have questions of comments that your character is not saying, or any other form of meta game talk, post it here unless it can be posted with an in character post in the game play thread.

Here is a recap of what has happened so far:
1)You guys met up in Col Fen, which was then destroyed by undead.
2)You assisted the people of Col Fen in trying to get to Hrothgar, but were taken by the orcs.
3)The orcs sent you to the Caverns of Time, where you each received a vision of the future.
4)You guys found out that Mikal is the key to the outbreak, and took him, the people of Col Fen, and the orcs to the Iron Fortress.
5)On the way to the Iron Fortress, You met another group of survivors led by Maria, who has been helping you on some of your missions.
6)You met the order of the Golden Sun, who are now living in the fortress
7)You were told by an angel, Iaoth, to find the Raven's Skull
8)Alex was attack, found out that someone has been visiting Mikal in his coma, and Rao made a deal with a demon for power. Also, Jay found out about a legend from the Black Swamp, about a Shardai-Kai who has been living there
9)You confronted the man visiting Mikal, and found out that he is Mikal from the future. You grabbed him before he teleported away, and are now in the future.

Visions from the Caverns of Time:
Rao: Rao’s vision was when he discovers that he and Ot are the ones who cause the outbreak to begin in the first place, and that Rao died in the process.

Ausk: Ausk had a vision of him marching on Hrothgar with an army of orcs.

Emul: Emul had a vision of him battling Ioanna over the body of a female deep in the Shadowfel

Alex: Alex had a vision of the final battle.

What you know about the Raven's Skull:
Questions for the Raven Queen: The following questions were asked to the Raven Queen by the party looking for the Raven’s Skull:

Does anyone in this fortress know where to skull is or how to locate it? Y
Is it a priest? N
Have we met them? Y
Are they human? Y
Is the skull in the hands of our enemy? Unclear
Is it connected to Mikal? Y
Is it located in Torah? Y
Is it located within 90 miles of our location? Y
Is it located within 10 miles of our location? N
Is it above ground? N

You also know that the Raven's Skull is a fail safe that the Raven Queen created in the past in case Orcus ever tried to destroy the mortal world again, which he has done in the past. It hold some of her divine spark, but you are not sure what it will do or how it will work.

Since we played last I did add some gods from the Pathfinder setting to Alesia, to fill gaps where we didn't have gods to fill certain roles.
-Calistria
-Cayden Cailean
-Erastil (not to be confused with Erathis, who was already part of the setting)
-Ioemdae
-Irori
-Shelyn
and -Zon-Kuthon

I also changed Kord to Gorum, a straight up war god instead of a war/storm god.

Rules for the campaign while we are using PbP:

1)Do your best to keep this thread for discussion, and the game play thread for in-game in-character talk and keeping the story going forward.

2)Try to post once a night, except for on nights we are playing Jacob's game, as I don't want to be taking the focus away from his game.

3)Create an alias for your character, and post in that so we can keep everything clean and easy. You don't need to have your stats on the alias page, just need to have an alias to post in.

4)No need to post die roles, I know you all and trust you, but you can post them if you want too. For encounters with a lots of enemies, I will not be posting the dice roles, as that is a lot of work.

5)try and learn the text formatting, which you can look at below a comment box, Bold for what your character is saying outloud, italics for your characters thoughts (which we won't meta game with, but can still be fun to use) and out of character when you do need to add out of character text to an game play post.

6)We have spoilers here, which are like the drop boxes used above, don't read them if your name isn't on them. You can use them too if you want to have a private conversation, but I do reserve the right to look at ones you post.

More rules to follow as we need them, but these are all I could think of ATM.


Do we know who Orla is?


yes. She is a Shardai-Kai who was sent into the mortal world to recover the Raven's Skull when it was stolen several hundred years ago. She was cursed by an evil Shardai-Kai for failing to recover it


Jacob:
what does discern lies do?


james:
Each round, you concentrate on one target, who must be within range. You know if the target deliberately and knowingly speaks a lie by discerning disturbances in its aura caused by lying. The spell does not reveal the truth, uncover unintentional inaccuracies, or necessarily reveal evasions.

Each round, you may concentrate on a different target.


Going to be out of town after 3ish today, so I won't be responding after that. Still feel free to post, just know you won't be getting anything from me till tomorrow after i leave
