Ptolus Days (The Second Game) (Inactive)

Game Master Lord Thasmudyan

A city of mysteries, secrets, and dark histories. Ptolus lies forever in the shadow of a towering stone spire reaching impossibly high into the sky, an enigma and reminder of evil long past.

Checking in. Good to see we have another healer amongst us!

I'm going to clap some shoulders and strike up some (new) old friendships.

It's the personality I gave Rain and it should help to bring some folks together.


male human Magus 4

Good.

Morsai isn't unlikable, but he's a bit twitchy. ;)


Checking in, glad to see we have someone from the Keepers of the Veil too. Ludo will be right at home. On my way home and will post in Gameplay tonight.

I read Ludo was saved from a demon and belongs to the Knights of the Pale.

Perhaps Aurora and Ludo have met, maybe while recovering from that attack.
If you are interested, we can put together common backstory between them.


Yeah, and sorry not for posting in gameplay yet. I will post tomorrow. I was up really late for work last night and need to get to bed, but want to make sure I get a proper post in.


Regarding NPC interaction, do we need to include rolls for Diplomacy,
Sense Motive, and similar skills? Generally, my character would be
Taking Ten for such situations, unless we are rushed or in combat.

Yes u need to roll any diplomacy and such check and especailly as it pertains to dealing with the npcs taking a 10 is not going to work in these cases


Sorry for the late arrival folks. Should be regular henceforth. Looks like we have a heroic rescue to embark upon.


Are there any laws in the city that protect ogres?

I am thinking what may happen if there is a fight.

Are ogres considered sentient beings or monsters?


Out of Games, yes and no, there are not necessarily laws protecting ogres but there are laws to protect residence and though ogres only make a very minute percentage of the overall population its not unheard of them to be considered citizens or to see one walking down the street even on a bright sunny day. They are consider humanoid according to the bestiary and do have intelligence thus they are sentient.


OOC, Ludo is planning on using his Sacred Weapon ability to put the merciful quality on his sword unless the ogres prove to be obviously evil and beyond redemption.


male human Magus 4

Well, Morsai had one npc speak to him, but I guess he left with everybody else.


Morsai, I'm not going to tell you how to play your character, but you had plenty of opportunities to look up from the book and come along.

The GM also gave you a lead to follow

Its up to you. Stay at the Minstrel, rule that you joined us eventually or follow the lead from Lord T, but its your choice. Don't make us break from the rest of the story to drag you along.


male human Magus 4

Please.

I'm not going to follow people I barely know that walked away without saying a word to me, especially when I have no clue what they're doing.

I never heard the original comments...then people I wasn't introduced to walked away across a crowded bar.

Thanks for not telling me how to respond to that.


To be honest Morsai, Ludo is right, you have had multiple opportunities to follow the group, I left it open that you guys would likely know each other (the group that is) if you want to participate great if not I would ask you to withdraw rather than disrupting the flow of the game.


Female Elf (Forlorn) Witch 1; 6/6 hp; AC: 12, (Touch 12, FF 10); F +1, R +2, W +3, Perc +3/+5 Init +2

If I may chime in here briefly...

I personally have no problem with Morsai staying behind in the tavern, since that woman needed to be watched. I do have a problem with Morsai just not doing anything at all. Even if you let the woman go on her way, I think Morsai needs to do SOMETHING here, even if it is just talking to the other patrons ("What do you know of that woman who just left...is she of good repute? etc.)

Going OOC for a moment, this is an adventure and players are meant to work together here, even if they are not in the same place. Morsai, your character looks very interesting and would be fun to RP with, especially with Shol's questionable background. This does require participation from you, however.

I am asking you to give this game a shot and realize we are a team here.

OK I am done chiming in here...this is Lord T's game and I just felt the need to speak up here.


Thanks Shol, I appreciate it, and I agree I want everyone to have fun and participate the ball at this point as they say is in his court.


male Aasimar (musetouched) ninja 4

I have called out that Rain knows Morsai: I am totally willing to drag him into the game if Morsai would like that?


male human Magus 4

I mentioned that in discussion from the beginning...and the only person that ever responded directly to Morsai was an NPC...even though I tried to initiate dialog several times.

He's not a part of this group yet...he knows nothing of what's going on. Metagaming like that destroys immersion for me.

Yes, I joined the game to play...I'd like some interaction, rather than just assumption.

Rain, I would appreciate it. It won't even take much.


Human male Ranger 4 \ HP 49/49 \ AC 19 T 13 F 16 \ Save F +7 R +8 W +4\ Init +3 \ Percp +9

It is also possible that Timmins knows him, or at least of him. I agree you have a cool sounding character and I would like to see what he is capable of. I get the feeling we will be returning to the tavern very soon anyway!


male human Magus 4

Thanks. :)


male human Magus 4

Bad news...phone's not recharging...I'll try to fix it...


I'm traveling this week with some pretty important presentations. If I'm slow this week, it isn't me abandoning, its that.


What are the legal restrictions for investigating a crime scene
like the "Pythoness House", raided by the Knights of the Pale?

Do we need permission to enter and/or recover lost treasures?
Aurora would greatly prefer to avoid breaking any Ptolus laws.


male human Magus 4

Good point.

Morsai doesn't sweat laws too much, but he's not looking to be wanted.


Umm there are not really any laws against it perse, as the Knights are not the City Watch. You might run afoul of the Knights of the Pale if they were to find out that you had gone into a place they sealed up. Not that they will likely come and beat you up or throw you in jail over it. You will likely just get a serious reprimand to say the least...but we will come to that bridge if and when it gets crossed. And no you would not need permission necessarily.


It is good to hear that there is nothing to prevent us from looking for Neverin's Key.
Adventurers need to adventure! Regardless, please let us know if we skirt any laws.


Lord T - is there room for a 2x2 marching order?

Quick check with everyone
1x1 order
1 Timmins
2 Morsai
3 Rain
4 Aurora
5 Shol
6 Ludo (rearguard)

2x2 order
1 Timmins and Morsai
2 Rain and Aurora
3 Ludo and Shol

I'm happy to put Ludo up front if we want to come up with someone else to be rearguard. I figure Timmins and Rain are probably our scouts although Ludo's Perception and scent might be appreciated up front.


Human male Ranger 4 \ HP 49/49 \ AC 19 T 13 F 16 \ Save F +7 R +8 W +4\ Init +3 \ Percp +9

Sounds good to me..but don't forget shadow, my wardog companion...


Ah, that would make it

1x1
Timmins
Shadow
Morsai
Rain
Aurora
Shol
Ludo

2x2
Timmins and Shadow
Morsai and Rain
Aurora and Shol
Ludo


male human Magus 4

Looks feasible...I'm decently tough, for a magus.


Female Elf (Forlorn) Witch 1; 6/6 hp; AC: 12, (Touch 12, FF 10); F +1, R +2, W +3, Perc +3/+5 Init +2

Looks good to me...Shol is basically useless in combat so her role is to patch you guys together after combat, he he. Morsai might be a good 'bodyguard' for her.


Sorry guys I am back, I had a death in the family, and had to travel (just got back ysterday) for the funeral, the area I was in had bad cell service and limit internet access.


male human Magus 4

Sorry to hear it.


male Aasimar (musetouched) ninja 4

My condolences.

Everyone has times when they can't post: it's all good.


thanks guys, I will post by this evening after work, I need to look over the part you guys were at and your rolls


Ludo the answer to your question is that single file is the best way at this point.


So wanted to pose the question you guys since you were far more active in the last week then myself or the other group I was running through this same campaign..said other group has fallen apart however I have potentially three players who still want to play in that group (down from 8ish) would you guys care cause they are only a little bit past you if I bring them into this game?


male human Magus 4

Works for me. :)


Female Elf (Forlorn) Witch 1; 6/6 hp; AC: 12, (Touch 12, FF 10); F +1, R +2, W +3, Perc +3/+5 Init +2

The more the merrier :)

EDIT: I cannot post in the GT for some reason, so here is her Initiative roll: Initiative: 8 + 2 = 10


Human male Ranger 4 \ HP 49/49 \ AC 19 T 13 F 16 \ Save F +7 R +8 W +4\ Init +3 \ Percp +9

No problem here...what are their classes/races?


Cool beans thanks guys, even with a slightly bigger group, I would rather have one thread than multiple....easier for me to keep track off...as to class and races

they are
Tony Nedraid, Male Human Rogue(Swashbuckler)
Orsal Hort, Male Half-orc pirate (bard)
Jesset Litorian, Fighter/Inquisitor

I will let them introduce themselves on the discussion thread and then once you finish this encounter with the ratfolk I will go ahead and bring them in
