The Dying City: DM Norv's "Curse of the Crimson Throne"

Game Master The Norv

The classic story of intrigue, magic, and strife in Korvosa, and of five figures caught in the balance of greater forces than they know.

Current Date: Starday, 10th of Lamashan, 4708

Current Map | Flex Time | Loot Tracker | Floorplan for the Rosa in Fiore

Harrow Points and Uses:

Current Harrow Points:
Callie: 3
Korriban: 2
Lantressa: 4
Matoska: 2
Teodor: 3

Flash of Insight: You can spend a Harrow point to attempt a skill check that normally requires training for a skill in which you have no ranks. You gain a one-time +5 bonus to that skill check.

Intelligence Rerolls: You can spend a Harrow point to reroll any one Intelligence-based check. You must abide by the new result, even if it's lower (but you can spend more Harrow points to reroll again if you want to).

Focused Thought: You can reattempt a Knowledge check that you have previously failed. On this attempt, you gain a +10 bonus on the check.

Not really sure how much gold I actually have but I have enough to cover it.

Wait... That actually brings up a question. Is the price for each of them or as a total? Because if it's the latter, then I'm pretty sure I can pay my portion. Just a bit of confusion.


Male

The price listed on the loot tracker is (or should be) the total price for all the items on that line; eg., "22 daggers" are listed as "22 gp"--1 gp apiece.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I was referring to the potions of water breathing. Is it 375 gp for all of them? Or is it 375 gp for each potion?


Male

Ah, sorry! That's 375 each. Magic ain't cheap. ;)

However, just to head off any concern: the potions last several hours, and the river's not that big, so (unless something goes badly awry) one each should be sufficient.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

Okay then. I still need 75 gp. With Lantressa's comment, I am curious if that means that she's going to cover me for 75 gp. If so, thank you and I will pay you back, Lantressa.

Sorry for taking a while on the post. I'll get it in tomorrow.

I might be able to , or at least a portion of it. depends on how much I have left after my waterbreathing potion.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

Got it. If you're not able to, then don't worry about it.


female | tiefling (pitborn) | sorcerer 8 |HP: 48/50 | AC:14 [17]; T:12; FF:13 [15]| CMB +4, CMD:16 | Fort:+6; Ref:+6; Will:+8 | Init:+2; Perc:+0 Volatile Conduit 1/1 | Beguiling Voice (dc 17) 3/8 | Fascinate (dc 20) 2/2 | Spells: lvl 1 7/8; lvl 2 4/7; lvl 3 3/6; lvl 4 3/4

After I leave for work on August 3rd until August 7th in the evening my posting will be limited to non-existent due to gencon indy. Whether I get anything posted after I get back on the 7th or not I don't know. Bot me as needed during that time.

If anyone will be going and wants to meet up let me know and we'll try and work something out.


Male

Hi all, I just want to apologize for my absence over this past week. A co-worker's sudden illness left me suddenly having to cover a LOT of extra stuff, and because I'd planned some non-work things for this week before that happened...well, it became kind of a perfect storm, schedule-wise. I'm not totally clear yet, so please bear with me if I miss a day or two this coming week, but we're getting back to close-to-normal. :)

Are we all still here? It's been a while since anyone posted in Gameplay, or here (partly my fault, I know). Do we have at least 3 players?

HERE TILL THE END OF ENDS HEEHEEHEE

Still here though I leave Wednesday afternoon for Gencon as I mentioned above.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I'm still here!


Male

Excellent, thanks! I'll try to move us forward then...


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

The eversmoking bottle seems interesting for Korriban given the fact that he's getting smoke bombs and projectiles to help get the drop on the bad guys. However, if someone else wants it, then I won't argue.


Male

Lantressa, Teo, are you guys still getting notices when the Gameplay thread updates? you guys respond to every check-in I post here, but it's been a while since anyone but Korriban posted in Gameplay...just makes it difficult to adjudicate the success of an underwater mission when I don't know how you're going about it! :)


female | tiefling (pitborn) | sorcerer 8 |HP: 48/50 | AC:14 [17]; T:12; FF:13 [15]| CMB +4, CMD:16 | Fort:+6; Ref:+6; Will:+8 | Init:+2; Perc:+0 Volatile Conduit 1/1 | Beguiling Voice (dc 17) 3/8 | Fascinate (dc 20) 2/2 | Spells: lvl 1 7/8; lvl 2 4/7; lvl 3 3/6; lvl 4 3/4

At gen con and no real time or easy way to post.


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

I'm good, just on a nocturnal bender vacation. Teodor is ready to swim.


female | tiefling (pitborn) | sorcerer 8 |HP: 48/50 | AC:14 [17]; T:12; FF:13 [15]| CMB +4, CMD:16 | Fort:+6; Ref:+6; Will:+8 | Init:+2; Perc:+0 Volatile Conduit 1/1 | Beguiling Voice (dc 17) 3/8 | Fascinate (dc 20) 2/2 | Spells: lvl 1 7/8; lvl 2 4/7; lvl 3 3/6; lvl 4 3/4

Got back early from Con, too tired for the last day, and wanted to double check before posting. Did we end up with swim fins for everyone or not?


Male

I'm sorry Lantressa, of course you told us you were at the con. Missing one or two people just makes a bigger difference when there's only three people, so I jumped the gun.

Also, we definitely went shopping for swim fins, so you can purchase a pair for yourself if you so desire!


female | tiefling (pitborn) | sorcerer 8 |HP: 48/50 | AC:14 [17]; T:12; FF:13 [15]| CMB +4, CMD:16 | Fort:+6; Ref:+6; Will:+8 | Init:+2; Perc:+0 Volatile Conduit 1/1 | Beguiling Voice (dc 17) 3/8 | Fascinate (dc 20) 2/2 | Spells: lvl 1 7/8; lvl 2 4/7; lvl 3 3/6; lvl 4 3/4

Alright, after the potion I still have 31 gp and change. How much were the fins?


Male

The fins are a measly 1 sp, so you're fine.


female | tiefling (pitborn) | sorcerer 8 |HP: 48/50 | AC:14 [17]; T:12; FF:13 [15]| CMB +4, CMD:16 | Fort:+6; Ref:+6; Will:+8 | Init:+2; Perc:+0 Volatile Conduit 1/1 | Beguiling Voice (dc 17) 3/8 | Fascinate (dc 20) 2/2 | Spells: lvl 1 7/8; lvl 2 4/7; lvl 3 3/6; lvl 4 3/4

K, thank you. Money subtracted.


Male

Hi all, sorry for the delay. I'm directing an independent theater production right now--my first in NYC--and we're raising funds for it, AND it was my birthday last week, AND my SO returned from a month out of the country...in sum, things just really ran away from me. A thousand apologies. Hopefully things will be slightly back on track now.


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

No worries boss. I live in NYC if you have a night you need to fill with a good bar!


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

No worries at all, Norv!


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I moved my token for the top down map. I think I put it in the right spot.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I am really nervous on how this fight is going to go.


Male

This one's a toughie, and no mistake! The good news is there's barely anything else in this wreck...


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

Unexpected weekend out of town into questionable wifi. Bot at will.


Male

Thanks for letting me know! Will do. Have a good weekend!


Male

Thank everything holy. You guys needed that Crit! (And it is confirmed!)

I don't believe she was actually adjacent to you when you drank the potion (she closed in immediately after).


Male

Just so you guys know, I'll be out of town this weekend (getting back Monday night) so posting may be spotty until then! Please bear with me. :)


Male

I'm back! Sorry for the delay, got back very late on Monday and have since been dealing with a cold...but we should hopefully be getting back to normal now!


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I keep forgetting that I can Take 10. But, I already rolled, so I'll keep it just to be fair.


Male

So, as that last fight probably proved, we should really get some additional players. But I have to say, I've been burned so many times with this game with players dropping out that I'm loath to open up something on the boards in general. Anyone know people who might be interested in joining and would be likely to stick around?


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I can post in my other games and see if anyone is interested. I can also put up a post in that recruitment thread I had made a while back.


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

I've got a game I'm in that's been going for years. Dunno if they are hungry for more."


female | tiefling (pitborn) | sorcerer 8 |HP: 48/50 | AC:14 [17]; T:12; FF:13 [15]| CMB +4, CMD:16 | Fort:+6; Ref:+6; Will:+8 | Init:+2; Perc:+0 Volatile Conduit 1/1 | Beguiling Voice (dc 17) 3/8 | Fascinate (dc 20) 2/2 | Spells: lvl 1 7/8; lvl 2 4/7; lvl 3 3/6; lvl 4 3/4

I'll check with a few people as well.

*EDIT:
Sent message to three or four people linking them back to the game. Not sure how many bites there will be but I guess we'll see.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I just posted in the recruitment thread I had originally made, posted in my other games, and sent messages to a couple of people.


Male

Let me know if you guys hear anything--I'd sooner take someone people have played with that we know is likely to stick around, but we'll see what we hear. I can reach out to some as well.

Meantime, is the plan to head back to Lancet Street? There's nothing more to see in the sunken ship.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

I have some people interested in the recruitment thread I had made. Link to my post is here. I'm thinking we could reach out to past candidates that had posted in that thread.

Edit: I just remembered that there is a recruitment thread where players can post their characters and GMs can look at the thread and recruit from there. I'm going to make a post on there.

Edit 2: I'm also going to look over the list of people interested in a CotCT game and send them messages.


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

Okay. So I have sent pms to a few people from this recruitment thread who were interested in a Crimson Throne game. I also had heard word back from a player who was in a Jade Regent game and he said he was interested. He'll probably come up with a character and post in the recruitment thread. If any of you would like to see the candidates and provide some answers or feedback that I have missed, the link to the thread is here. I used the same thread that led us to Selawyn and Lantressa. The new part starts from the linked post.

Sorry it's taking me a while to post. I'll get one in tomorrow.


Male

No worries, the weekend's hard on all of us! I think we are waiting on you and Teodor, though. ;)

On the note of catching up with things: I've closed down recruitment for our next members. We've got a good number of submissions, so head on over to the thread and check them out.

If everyone can send me their top three choices by PM, I'll look through them myself and pick out our new players! Would love to get them picked by Wednesday evening so we can work them in.


Male

Sorry for the delayed post, guys. Got a bit of computer trouble Monday night--hopefully resolved now...

Anyway, I tried to move our story along. Figure this can wrap up "tonight" and we can move on to the next (in-game) day!

ALSO: please send me your picks for new PCs! I've only gotten one so far, and if I don't hear from you soon I'll have to pick without your input. The thread is here! I'd like three picks from you.


Male Human (Varisian)
Quick Stats:
Init +6,Perc +2,AC23,T14,FF 21, HP 44/52, F +6, R +3, W +1, +1 trait bonus on saving throws made to resist diseases DR 2/-;Imm. Vorel's Phage & Blood Veil; Base Atk[/b] +5; CMB +8; CMD 20

Thank y'all for picking me. I'm glad you liked my character.

I had actually intended to play an aasimar paladin of Shelyn who was actually the bastard daughter of the king, but her background wouldn't make much sense what with Lamm dead. So I had this character and tinkered with his stats and background and thus here's Riceak Swordhand!


Male

Whoops, ninja'd by Riceak! Everyone please welcome the two newest members of our little gang: Riceak and Callie!

Welcome you two, it's going to be fun.

Awesome! Welcome, new blood. Welcome to our merry pantheon of jesters.
