The Legacy of Marianasu - DM Downrightamazed
Game Master downrightamazed

Lol Seriously no apologies needed at all dude. I wad just funnin' ya. I am in a constant state of amazement that you are able to do even Half of the things that you do. So whenever is good for you is totally good for me. Month rush and no worries

I think for now I am going to hold off posting anything else with Min until Kelne and the others catch back up. I hope Daisuke/Feral boy are still with us. :/ I realllllly hope they didn't leave cause he seriously was neat!

@DRA: Sorry for all the need for details, your doing awesome man! As usual! I know your super busy too >.<;

Which I know the feeling! Pulling 18hr days myself lol. But none the less, I'm looking forward to what comes next.

Graham (Dare Mo/Feral Boy) is still around, I pinged him yesterday so hopefully he'll be stepping back in soon.

And thanks Cori, it's cool; I just got in over my head for a couple weeks there, it happens sometimes, as you know. :-) I finished the side work for the ol' day job, though, so things have already settled down quite a bit. If I can get caught back up on studio work I'll be aces.

Hmmm don't know why I thought that Critical Perfection counted for Improved Critical as well...kind of odd that it doesn't...

Dear Diabolical DM DRA,

You do realize that you have landed us in the soup of what may very well be our biggest, baddest battle ever, right on the heels of what was likely our previous biggest, baddest battle ever?

Aylaeth is virtually out of spells, and the other casters are down a fair bit as well and you've put us up against not one but two very powerful devils and quite possibly their even more powerful humanoid controllers plus a horde of platemail wearing minions.

You are a very, very cruel DM.

(So this should be a lot of fun! ^-^)

Sincerely,

The soon to be dearly departed.

Yeppers this is gonna be rough! A couple of big old demons and a lot of red dragonflight scum. If someone doesn't perish then we know someone has got our backs from on high!

Hopefully DRA gets to feeling better, not just because of the game. Mainly because I have been miserably sick for the last couple days as well. Some weird gut like ache, really sucks. :P Doesn't help the water jug we were all drinking from at work froze and cracked the bottom open on the inside. So I think we have been drinking some of the insulation, don't know. Fun times -40 breaks everything lol.

Ignore the post above btw, it was more joking then anything. ;) I do look forward to the challenge presented to us. I've added some info beside my name let me know if it is a little to tedious to have there. I will still post a stat block but in the mean time at least my normal stats will always be up and ready for DRA to see. It was something in another campaign that a player showed me and I thought it was interesting and asked them if I could use it. =)

Let me know what you think, if I can clean it up anymore I will~

Hmmm I like it I might take and adapt it to include some of my spell stuff.

good idea! Adding some Dc's would be an interesting Idea, I look forward to what you come up with. Just remember that I entered it all in class and race blocks.

Its neat though and I hope DRA will let us know if it isn't too distracting~ :)

So it's been very interesting for me watching how this party has developed. What do you guys think of the newcomers, especially now you've met the Dragon Twins?

And what do you each think of the others in the party? Anyone who particularly worries you or inspires you?

Ok so this is part of a question DRA had a while ago but now I'm curious how everyone feels about everyone now that more time has passed.

I don't know if I have been descriptive enough whenever Min does think about the Aellar couple.

Min has respect for them, especially because he feels an odd kinship with them in the fact that they have suffered at the hands of similar enemies. Hence why he doesn't ask about their past, letting them reveal what they want. Other then asking about the fortress they escaped from, Min has never felt it was his place to pry.

Livain is a little less known to Min as she is very quiet, except when she is with Mai and Min continues not to pry. If she want to talk then she will.

They have proven themselves more then capable warriors and in his honest opinion they are just as committed to finding the Abominations as the rest of them are. If they had wanted to betray the Skyknights they would have tried taking the first six artifacts during their foray in Kalaroth's Door, the flood had separated everyone and it was the best time for the pair to wipe out the group as a whole. So them betraying the group isn't high on his list of worries. ;)

As for Aylaeth Min is still at odds with himself over the recently arrived scholar. Sometimes he finds her easy to deal with and at others he finds himself extremely frustrated. Where he calls for action she tries to be logical and when she calls for action there is no deterring her so he is at a loss as to how to predict her actions. He knows though that her heart is in the right place and that she is both brave and steadfast in protecting the innocent the same way as he was. So he may have his frustrations but he respects the scholar as much as Damian.

He had always thought his companion was unique but the pair Aylaeth arrived with were the stuff of legends for him. The pegasus was a symbol of strength in Heartland. The strange talking helm continues to surprise him whenever it does speak. As for it being a celestial creature he has his doubts but its heart(?) always seems to be in the right place so he continues to hold his judgments to himself.

Lin shares a lot of the same opinions as Min, albeit some of it is worded differently but he trusts those that accompany the group and each time she is separate from her rider her opinions change a little more about those who accompany her. Sorry for the vagueness there but most of the time Lin and Min are never separate so they think on similar lines.

Damian He sees him as a competent leader but still feels he doesn't completely understand everything he has been through. Though after their conversation the night before they fought Valley they have more of an understanding... I think.

Min/Lin Possibly the one Mai gets along with easiest.

Aylaeth Sees her as both a competent warrior and spellcaster. Is aware of Livain and her friendship so approves.

Bel Still uncertain about this one. He can't quite understand him, and he appears flighty on occasions but is intrigued by the familiar feeling from him and the shadow he saw the first time.

Livain Do I even need to go into detail on how Maiathreen and feels about his wife and soulmate?

you forgot Damian and Bel ; ) I like these kinds of run downs on how each PC feels about the others. I did something similar for my PC in DM Barcus' game. But am have a rare time of illness myself atm, so will have to do it here later. But looking forward to seeing the posts from all the rest o the gang : )

Feel better all who are ill!

Wtf I was sick last week... Is there something going around?

Just noticed something about the way I made the Draconic-Infused Aellar name pending any better ideas? . The entry for flight is... Odd to say the least can someone help? Also just noticed they have 4 available points to stay within their 20 point limit. Here's the text.
Flight (4 RP): Prerequisites: None; Benefit: Members of this race have a fly speed of 30 ft. with clumsy maneuverability. Special: This ability can be taken more than once. Each time it is taken, the race’s fly speed is increased by +10 ft. and the maneuverability improves by one step for each additional 2 RP spent.

Does it mean that when I took the flight ability again it gave a + 20 to fly speed and bumped the maneuverability up to good or just 10 and average? Either way what says everyone about taking it a third time and ending up with either a 70 fly speed or 50 and a maneuverability of either perfect or good.

@Aylaeth: You don't have a high enough K(Religion) check to be able to recognize the clock symbol, sorry. Don't think anyone does. It's certainly something you could look up back in Stormfare, though, obviously.

Will have a post up soon DRA was seeing what Damian had planned because this scenario is a rough one! Fight or flight is equal here and sadly Min is leaning towards fight. Will have a post up soonish. Hopefully your feeling better. :(

Feeling much better, Cori, thanks! ^_^ I apparently had the respiratory version of the flu, so it's gonna take me a while to work through all the symptoms, but at least I'm not bedridden anymore.

Ouch! Here's to better days off health. Raises a glass of sangria

I'll drink to that, for sure.

Hopefully I didn't err on making that AoO bossman. If so I will try and remember not to assume like that in the future. At least I didn't land any hits, :p the dice were not with me this morning lol. But let me know if I had made a mistake in taking that AoO.

So I was going to tell the Stormfare people what Maiathreen is in the Skyknights but I'm not sure my self. What should all of our positioning be in the Silver Flame 3rd Cavalry, Air Division, Skyknights Platoon.?

DRA I've recently been looking at the ultimate archer thread and saw an interesting build. I was wondering if I could switch greater weapon focus for combat reflexes? It will allow me at lvl9 to take snapshot and then at 10 to take improved snapshot and have a 15ft killing ground around me.

15' killing ground has a nice, warm fuzzy feeling to it. : )

Where is that thread located Livain? Just wondering if they have an 'Ultimate Rogue' or Shadowdancer thread as well.

ultimate archer

I was thinking about pursuing those feats as well. :) they are awesome!

Any ideas or thoughts on this?

I haven't seen the custom race per yet, I will download it today and check it out. :)

There will likely be major changes to the custom race building once the ARG comes out in June.

That's from the playtest I can't wait till my subscription comes in and then I can get the updated version and finally play up the dragon ancestry they have. Also toying around with alternate names for the dragon infused Aellar. Thinking simply dragon aellar, much like different elves are just wood elf high elf dark elf (mostly).

There will likely be major changes to the custom race building once the ARG comes out in June.

Hoping for the Draconic traits they talked about :-)

I am so getting that book when it comes out. >.> I really should get a subscription but I bought most of my books off amazon or from local stores so I don't want to receive them all again. >.<;

It would be a real help in setting up my Homebrew more. I'm so close to starting it i'm going out of my mind! lol

You don't get all of the old books when you subscribe - just the upcoming ones.

For instance, if you add a subscription now, you can start with either Bestiary III or with Advanced Race Guide.

Oh! That makes more sense then. :) I guess I should look into it and save myself some moeny. lol thanks damian!

Yep my subscription starts with the Advanced Race Guide.

My new avatar ^_^'

Nice :) I need to look and see if there are that would fit Min better then the one I have already. >.>

Min in your Page it has your attacks with Avenaada at 13/8 with your buckler there are no negatives to using a buckler with a bow or crossbow. Which is why when I completely change Livain and Maiathreen race stuff Livain will be picking one up at some point... In fact she could use one now it's just a copy and paste error that says she can't use one while flying.

oh? Lol, I see what your saying now! Luckily I picked up that extra buckler so we have my Mithril Buckler +1 and the Darkwood Buckler +2. If she wants either of those she can have at it once the fight is done or I can drop the darkwood for her right now and pull my Mithril one back out.

Up to you and hopefully DRA doesn't mind me doing something like that, BUT Min didn't leave his regular shield behind.

Thanks for the help Mai :)

I'd say after the fight unless DRA would allow us to say she took your Mithrial buckler when you got the darkwood buckler.

Wait, what am I not minding? I'm confused.

Also, I feel like a couple of you asked me things recently that I missed or forgot. If you're waiting on an answer or ruling on something, can you remind me or link me to the post where you asked originally?

Mai, I'll get to your emails hopefully in the morning. Just got done with a session a little while ago and am catching up all the threads right now.

I emailed you a few days ago but it was a long term idea nothing to be ruled on if you needed to think about it.

Also since I didn't realize that Livain could use a buckler I would have given her the new buckler I found since her having a higher ac is more useful then Min.

Reason being is if say we are flying and Min gets knocked out he still has Lin to guide him to safety. Where as Livain is a damage dealing goddess of the bow and naturally if she gets pinned under heavy fire she'll fall from the sky. I don't mind either way but Min would personally want her to have the best possible defense. :)

So if you didn't mind Min could have given her that Buckler before the fight or he could give it to her and re-equip his old buckler during the fight. Up to you. :) But after Mai brought it to my attention that I had been given myself a negative for no reason lol, I thought I would at least post something in the OOC so I wasn't pushing your buttons boss man :)

Aylaeth what spell did you cast? Because Ball Lightning doesn't work the way you describe it. Did you mean lightning bolt? You've got me super confused. Once you clarify the spell for me I'll roll saves and all that. Also, the door the arcane chanting is coming from is Y-1, and at ground level., guarded by two soldiers.

** spoiler omitted **

Man, all this secrecy in my OOC thread. ;-)

Sorry for the confusion. It's not Ball Lightning. It's a Lightning Ball, which is just a Fire Ball which has had the energy type changed to electricity (which she can do because of her sorcerer bloodline)

Ah, gotcha. Thanks. That explains why I couldn't find it in PFR. And are you clear on the doors, now? There's no balcony entrance at m1, the balcony just loops around the room. You need to get down to the ground floor if you want to go in that door where the chanting is coming from.

YVM, I shoulda been more, clear. Thought I'd cast the same spell before but it's certainly possible I'm mistaken. And, ok, when she gets to the balcony above the door, she's going to be jumping off to the ground.
