Red's Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master GM Fuzzfoot

Thanks for posting. Sorry to hear about your troubles, Aurora - family can be tough. I wish you the best of luck with it.

Absolutely, family is most important!

Thank you. We had a long and overdue talk to put us on a more even footing. Time will tell if it worked. But a friend was in the ER and then kept over the weekend so if I vanish it because she needs me, even with being home.

But I think I am back, assuming nothing else happens.

my keyboard is hella messed up and i am not sure when I can get a plug in one for laptop. and getting the keyboard fixed is expensive. i am here but having technical issues

I am struggling to keep up with this game and do not want to keep a space I know I cannot seem to feel. So I am going to bow out. Thank you so very much for playing with me and this is a delightful group but I just cannot keep up.

We’ll miss you!!!

Sorry to hear that but I totally understand. Good luck to you!

Good luck Aurora! Hope to see you on the boards again.

Best of luck, Aurora! Hope to see you around!

Bye Aurora! See you around!

I have family visiting from now until after Labor Day. Feel free to bot me as necessary.

We have an opening for a divine caster for a Wrath of the Righteous campaign I play in if anyone is interested. The link to the recruitment thread is here.

You’ve got a ton of applicants!

My proposed plan:
- Hand the necromancer over to the sheriff
- Also inform the sheriff that the insane asylum guy was complicit in the necromancer's experiments
- Sell the spellbook (unfortunately, I don't think witches can learn spells from wizard spellbooks, so I don't think we have anybody who can use it)
- Stock up on some alchemical stuff
- Go check out Foxglove Manor (possible also go aid the second save on the ghoul fever guy depending on if it takes us the rest of the in-game day to do the other things or not)

I'm not opposed to some "frontier justice" relative to the necromancer. There are no "Ls" in my alignment.
No reason not to sell the spell book. Is there any other loot? What did the necro have on him?
Alchemical stuff? Such as?
We're not in too much of a hurry, right? We can try and save the ghoul fever guy. We're the "good guys" after all.

This alchemical stuff.

I don't think René would stop you from killing him. But he already permanently blinded the guy, so he doesn't feel a need to personally punish him further.

It's not a question of if we help the ghoul fever guy. It's just a question of if that happens before or after Foxglove Manor.

Ohhh, THAT alchemical stuff!

Tylur would be against it defending the man if necessary and then bringing him to the sheriff for proper sentencing.

Also Tylur would want to help the man with the fever but understands that the threat in the Foxglove Manor area seem to be getting greater so time is of the essence.

will update lvl later

So...are we all good with my proposed plan of action?

Let's assume so...it's been a week.

Let's do it!

Starting tomorrow, I will be visiting family for two weeks. I will try to keep up on the postings, but BOT me if needed.

Am heading out of town this weekend. Will be back Sunday evening.

I'm taking Cub Scouts camping this weekend, so I will be offline until Sunday evening.

Got around to leveling up next level I plan on taking a lvl in paladin I'm hoping that something will happen in the story that justifies Tylur being called upon this path.

How are hp determined? 1/2HD + 1?

You can choose to roll HP or take the ave+1 - personally, I prefer the later, but some like to try their luck!

I will look for a paladin story hook.

Just a heads up, I'm going to be at a con Friday-Sunday and expect I won't have time to post. Bot me as necessary.

I am back and I am furiously trying to get caught up in everything! Please continue to bot me until I get back in the swing of things!

Bard (Archaeologist 5)

+0 BAB
+5HP (1/2 of 1d8+1)
+0 Fort
+0 Reflex
+0 Will
+1 CMB
+1CMD

1 1st Level

Charm Person-This charm makes a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally (treat the target’s attitude as friendly). If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.

The spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn’t ordinarily do. (Retries are not allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. You must speak the person’s language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.

1 2nd Level
Share Language (Communal) - You can share your facility for one particular language with another creature. For 24 hours the target can read, understand, and communicate to the best of its ability in any one language which you already know. For every 5 levels you possess, you can grant the use of another language you know, to a maximum of 5 languages at 20th level. The target must have the physical capacity to articulate sounds, make gestures, or engage in whatever other method speakers of the language use to communicate with each other in order to actually converse. If the target lacks the mental capacity to grasp an actual language, it still gains enough knowledge to respond to and carry out even extremely complex commands or suggestions coached in the language (whether written or spoken). However, since this spell does not endow the target with greater reasoning capacity, merely a temporarily enhanced vocabulary, the person offering up instructions to non-sentient creatures must take care to remove any ambiguity or guesswork.

Similarly, this spell does not affect the basic nature of the target, or its disposition toward you or anyone else, so convincing it to actually carry out these instructions could require negotiation, threats, or outright bribery.

Skills:
+1 Linguistics (Infernal)
+1 Perception
+1 Diplomacy
+1 Disable Device
+1 Knowledge (Dungeoneering)
+1 Knowledge (Engineering)
+1 Knowledge (Geography)
+1 Knowledge ((History)

Favored Class:Bonus Skill Point: Use Magic Device

Lore Master (Ex) At 5th level, the bard becomes a master of lore and can take 10 on any Knowledge skill check that he has ranks in. A bard can choose not to take 10 and can instead roll normally. In addition, once per day, the bard can take 20 on any Knowledge skill check as a standard action. He can use this ability one additional time per day for every six levels he possesses beyond 5th, to a maximum of three times per day at 17th level.

Feat: Point-Blank Shot: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.

We are looking for a 7th level, dwarven mage for a Giantslayer campaign. the recruitment thread is here.

Just a heads up, I'm going to be traveling/preparing to travel on Sunday and Monday and may not get a chance to post. Bot me as necessary.

This weekend I will heading out to visit family for two weeks and the next few days will be spent wrapping things up. I hope to keep up, but bot me if necessary.

Cordwin gives his money to Skarn and signs a very broad and binding power of attorney over to his fellow dwarf!

I suspect many will slow down or disappear over the next few weeks, myself included. Everyone take the time you need and have a great holiday season.

Cordwin hands over a POA that he had gotten from his cousin, Searok, who in turn bought it from some guy in a tavern named Kit.

I second the motion, Have a great Holiday season everyone!

Hehehe.

Sorry folks. Work got crazy busy, and I ended up having to travel with very limited access. Still on the road, but should be back to normal on Monday.

I will have to put up a new map and just can't do it from here.

GM,

I've moved Tylur over to this account since I barely use my other account. Will post momentarily.

I fear we may have lost Tylur. It's been 17 days since his last post, and it seemed like he was waning before that.

I have another RotRL table going - they are a bit behind you, but I think we could fast forward them. How do you all feel about merging rather than recruiting for new players? It would help ease my commitments a bit, and I think the groups will fit pretty well. Anyway, thought I would throw it out there.

I'm cool with a merged group.

I'm good with it. They have any hot female dwarfs in their group?

Cordwin nods enthusiastically at Skarn's question.

Fine with me. But if we do, could we possibly redistribute some of the wealth Aurora and Tylur had? According to the spreadsheet, Aurora had about 40% of the party wealth. Though I would imagine if people can't use her/Tylur's gear, we'll have to wait to sell it.

Ha - no hot female dwarf, sorry...

Yes, wealth redistribution is a good idea. Since you all have a fairly solid door you can hide behind, and a secret entrance, it might be good to retreat back to town to "gear up" and maybe find some more rat fodder... that is assuming you can survive the diseased rat swarms coming at you....

If we can't, then the dearth of hot female dwarfs in the other party will be the least of our worries.

Just a heads up that I'm going to be doing a virtual con this Saturday through Monday and will most likely not be able to post during that time. Feel free to bot me as necessary.

Enjoy!

Being down 2 PCs isn't making this fight any easier!

No, it sure isn't. I thought you would head back to town for help rather than standing there for the rats to come.

I mean, the other swarm went down with 19-ish damage and the current one is at 13, so we should be almost there if we didn't kill it this round.
