The Diva's Requiem (Inactive)

Game Master FratManCy

When the Diva Corrin Dalery is killed on the eve of her performance, the Oriat is left in chaos as she is the nascent victim of a strange series of murders occurring in Kaer Maga. Neighbors are quick to point fingers at who was responsible for the death of their beloved idol. Was it the Brothers of the Seal who included Corrin in their clandestine war? Was it a jealous bard who didn’t appreciate the Diva’s sudden rise to fame or was it the Ardoc Brotherhood, who is known for being masters of the arcane? Will the players solve this mystery before another life is claimed? The Diva's Requiem is a level 4 urban mystery adventure set within Kaer Maga.

Hello, everyone. Excited to be here.

Nice to meet everyone!

Groovy! I'll finish up my character sheet tonight.


Once everyone is settled, I'll kick off the adventure!


oye, whazzat? speak up laddie.

Looks like Zaliana and Halastus are going to share the healing duties, with Sarrus as backup. Investing in a few key scrolls/potions/wands might not be a bad idea, if anyone have golds to spare. We have plenty of melee muscle though.

I think I'm set, and will wait until the game is on to make further purchases. I'll handle description IC.

I have 5 lay on hands a day, but my main focus is tanking. Please, strategy should include the fact that I have feats like bodyguard, and abilities that prevent allies near me from taking damage. So if you're hurt, or healing, or casting, Stay behind me. I'm Braum from LoL, basically.


Male Suli Unchained Barbarian 4 | hp 45 | AC 17 / t11 / ff17 | Fort +6, Reflex +2, Will +2 | Init. +1 | Perception +8, Darkvision 60ft.

I think I'm just about done with my character sheet now. If anybody catches anything that needs to change, let me know- I'm building this with a combination of PCGen and by hand, so there could be a discrepancy somewhere.

Anyway, looks like a cool group! My specialty is hitting things really, really hard. Oddly enough, Agnis also has a minor in roguishness, so he can Disable Devices and use Sleight of Hand competently. I invested in a set of masterwork thieves' tools for him.


Aaaand the first gameplay post is up! Good luck players!

Sarrus can brew up a couple of potions as needed, but like Halastus he's not much of a healer or caster. His use of alchemy (and all the goodies that come with it) is more about the utility and flexibility it provides--which is a pretty handy thing to have in and under Kaer Maga, he's found. It's also left him a lot more educated than your average fighter, with skills aplenty.

When it comes to fighting, he'll be right up there standing shoulder to shoulder with the paladin and barbarian. And, when we inevitably find ourselves in the shadiest corners in, above, or below Kaer Maga, he's got an uncanny knack with torches. Just part of the job :)

Zaliana has inspire courage and lock gaze which makes the enemies focus on her and avert their eyes from anyone else - and an AC of 15. We're going to be BFFs.


Mother always says, just stand behind braum


Sorry for the delay folks! We've got one more person joining us!

Hey everyone! Crusader of Desna here for all your cleric-y needs!

Welcome to the team, Ingre. I'm slightly relieved to hand over the role as primary healer.


Male Suli Unchained Barbarian 4 | hp 45 | AC 17 / t11 / ff17 | Fort +6, Reflex +2, Will +2 | Init. +1 | Perception +8, Darkvision 60ft.

Welcome aboard!


Greetings child, may you find only fortune in your life.


Gonna be honest, I was expecting to fail to that check and have some funny misfire effect go off ha-ha. Maybe next time XD


Female Human Bard 4 | AC 15/T 11/FF 14 | HP: 33/34 | F +4, R +6, W +4 (+1 vs charm/compulsion)| Init +7, Perc +6 |CMD 16

You can always let Zaliana try next time. Her UMD modifier is just a tiny bit higher than Vinnick's.


Male Suli Unchained Barbarian 4 | hp 45 | AC 17 / t11 / ff17 | Fort +6, Reflex +2, Will +2 | Init. +1 | Perception +8, Darkvision 60ft.

You fancy kids and yer usin' magic devices...


Hey, that's my line ya whippersnapper


You grant the semblance of life to a corpse, allowing it to answer questions. You may ask one question per two caster levels. The corpse's knowledge is limited to what it knew during life, including the languages it spoke. Answers are brief, cryptic, or repetitive, especially if the creature would have opposed you in life.

Not for the feint of heart really. Basically it would stir with life and then would answer the first questions asked to it by Vinnick or anyone (the people around him atm) Vinnick designates

Ok, honestly....who knew what a coterie was without googling?

Well, me for one, but I'm partly excused, since English is not my native language.

RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32

1 person marked this as a favorite.

So I've contacted FMC (I know the guy) and apparently he's having issues accessing the site. He's tried from all of his devices, tried from multiple buildings and computers, and even tried to have a bunch of other people access paizo.com.

Apparently there's just some issue with connecting to the website from South Korea. I suspect perhaps he got caught up in the great war against the Korean spambots that keep posting all over the forums in the middle of the night. He's contacting Paizo about finding a resolution, and I've asked him if he wants me to play middleman GM and post his posts for him while this is all resolved. (He is considering this, but also doesn't want to give me other people's spoiler text.)

He also wants to say he's sorry for the delay this has caused ;.;

RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Thanks for the heads up, Helios. Lets give it a few days and see if Paizo's tech team can find a way to get innocent South Korean gamers back and still keep the spammers out.

Keep us posted and say cheers to FMC.


Male Suli Unchained Barbarian 4 | hp 45 | AC 17 / t11 / ff17 | Fort +6, Reflex +2, Will +2 | Init. +1 | Perception +8, Darkvision 60ft.

Same! I was getting worried.


I was getting worried too!

I'm glad to say that whatever it was is solved and I'm back. I do wonder if I'm the only one who has suffered this problem from our game. Are Halustus and Vinnick still with us?

In any event, the show must go on!


Howdy folks, please forgive the lack of posts. The new semester just started for my morning Korean Kindergarten and I just got a new batch of little goblins - 12 in total! I should be able to make a post right before the weekend!


And we're back! I'm sorry for the delay folks! The show must go on!

" Also, rules question: does Aid Another work on taking 20?"

From what I understand of the rules, you cannot aid another on a take 10 / 20 for a skill check, concentration check, or even caster level check. However, I feel that since we're in a murder mystery adventure, a player should be able to - so the answer is yes.

Also, feel free to partner up or go solo for the rooms. I don't want progress to be halted because we're stuck in exhibit A of the gallery but the party wants to see the whole show!


Hey folks, whatever happened to Vinnick and Halustus?

I don't know -_-.

Do we really need to explore each area? I'm confident that we've got enough clues: 3 from the Diva Ghost, the picture, the locket and that there's 2 other diva's left.

I just feel like this is going at a snail's pace.

If I'm wrong, I feel bad for saying that. Please don't yell at me!^^


Male Suli Unchained Barbarian 4 | hp 45 | AC 17 / t11 / ff17 | Fort +6, Reflex +2, Will +2 | Init. +1 | Perception +8, Darkvision 60ft.

Considering how much we've been able to learn thus far, I'd think we have enough to start poking around elsewhere. I doubt we need to keep poking around the theater anymore.


Female Aasimar (Azata) Cleric 4 | AC (17), T (13), FF (14) | HP: 31/31 | F(5), R(4), W(6) | Init(+3), P(3) Cmb +5|CMD (18). RES Acid 5 / Cold 5 / Elec 5

Agreed!

One thing still bothers me, are we getting close to figuring out who is behind the murders?


I can move us to a new location if you'd like! In regards to the mystery, are you confident with what has been learned? Which reminds me I should make an easy reference bar for what has happened in the adventure.


Female Human Bard 4 | AC 15/T 11/FF 14 | HP: 33/34 | F +4, R +6, W +4 (+1 vs charm/compulsion)| Init +7, Perc +6 |CMD 16

I've got a feeling that there might be more clues to be found at the theater, but I'm not opposed to moving on.

Did we confirm that we have lost Halastus and Vinnick? If so, recruiting more players might be in order.


Male Suli Unchained Barbarian 4 | hp 45 | AC 17 / t11 / ff17 | Fort +6, Reflex +2, Will +2 | Init. +1 | Perception +8, Darkvision 60ft.

I support recruiting new players. Might help get the pace moving along a bit quicker. I'll try to post more frequently as well to keep that up on my end as well!

I also feel like there's more to find at the theater, but I also feel like our characters would be eager to start tracking down Ursula at this point.


Sounds good. I'm going to keep the game on hold until we get some fresh blood. Stay tuned folks!


Id like to apologize for my sudden absence. Lots of things came up that I had to deal with and I was without access to the site or other internet options for most of a couple weeks. At which point this site was at the back of my mind. After things settled down I remembered that I never got the chance to let people know. Due to my rudeness and sudden absence I'll bow out completely and formally if you so wish

Good to have you back, Vinnick.

I don't know how the recruitment efforts are going, but if you are able to post steadily again, then I'm good with you going on.


Vinnick, if you're here buddy, I'm willing to give you a second chance so as long as you can commit to posting daily.


To be honest, I never saved his background to the alias and I've lost it somewhere along with me forgetting just how I saw the character unfortunately. While I'm grateful for the offer, it would be a bit of a crime to bring down a good game with a poor character.


Very well, Vinnick. Thank you for your time. Your actions will be remembered! Meanwhile...to choose the replacement and continue the story. STAY TUNED FOLKS!

Hi, folks! Good to be in :) I read the game thread and was really impressed with it so far, so I'm excited to be playing with everyone. Can't wait to get started?

In terms of introducing the character, how shall we go about it? Bump into you guys in the next room while conducting my own pokings-around?


Male Elf Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade/Wildstrider) 1

How y'all doing? As Aralee said, how do we go about this?


Female Human Bard 4 | AC 15/T 11/FF 14 | HP: 33/34 | F +4, R +6, W +4 (+1 vs charm/compulsion)| Init +7, Perc +6 |CMD 16

Welcome aboard, you two.

As far as introduction, I think the best way to do this would be once we move to a new location (which I think is what we're about to do next), Sarrus or one of the other locals says something like "Hey, I know a couple of folks who might be able to help. Let's swing by and pick them up."

I think everyone are willing to give a little leeway in terms of just getting the story back on track ASAP.


Male Suli Unchained Barbarian 4 | hp 45 | AC 17 / t11 / ff17 | Fort +6, Reflex +2, Will +2 | Init. +1 | Perception +8, Darkvision 60ft.

Helllooooo, friends! I look forward to jolly co-operation.


Sorry for the delay folks.

I have updated pertinent info about the story so far within Campaign Info. We're in combat now so feel free to post and I'll sort out the order.
