Rise of the Rookie Runelords (Inactive)

Fun! Where you did all go?

And no problem for the delay. Glad everything is all good. :)

\Like we couldn't use someone with lycanthropy on our front line? It's called being a team player... =P

I think Izbela would find the warts, hairy arms, and pig snout a bit distracting on her man.

Haha! Wouldn't want to ruin that pretty face! Honestly, Akuleh would probably be the most okay with contracting lycanthropy, though his wife and kids might have some reservations about it if he ever makes it home.

Hairy arms aren't that bad. Hairy palms might be a little off-putting, though.

That's a sign of lycanthropy, right?

I'm actually running a PFS character who has a goal of contracting lycanthropy.

It's going to be a problem if it ever happens, because in PFS, lycanthropy is a condition you have to clear before the end of the scenario or your character is dead! Not sure what I'm going to do about that if it happens....

To my knowledge, Enlarge Person is limited to the Humanoid types and Algon is an Outsider so he's not a legal target for the spell. The wereboar had 3 hit points left before the critical hit so it didn't matter anyway. This is just for future reference. If you have something that says otherwise please let me know.

It is limited to humanoids, but summoners (or rather their eidolons) have a special feature which allows them to ignore that particular restriction.

Share Spells (Ex): The summoner may cast a spell with a target of “you” on his eidolon (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on himself. A summoner may cast spells on his eidolon even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the eidolon's type (outsider). Spells cast in this way must come from the summoner spell list. This ability does not allow the eidolon to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

Edit: Full disclosure, there is some debate as to whether the first two sentences are independent of each other or not. This FAQ is the closest thing to an official answer I can find on the matter. It goes without saying, but however you choose to rule is okay by me.

Kadrian will take Rak's advice and not doing any shopping here. The noble will have some money available if his friends need it, but I don't think we will.

Going to move the story forward hopefully tomorrow night so if you have any purchases to make then get them in soon. I don't think you'll have any downtime to craft for at least 2-3 more days if that helps.

This is just a heads-up that I am going to be at a music festival this weekend. I'll be camping and I expect to have very poor cell service. I will be back on Monday; posting will be sporadic if at all until then.

Feel free to bot Rak to keep the pace up, as needed.

Shoot! As a gamer, I wanna kick in all the doors and find the treasure, but as a character, we are looking for Ameiko, but there is no indicator telling us where to go. Hmmm...

This is a heads up that I am traveling from now through the 4th of July holiday. I will be mostly in an area where cell service is spotty; I may not be able to post at all, but I will do my best to, if nothing else, post actions with limited roleplay. If you are also in the US, enjoy your holiday, and if you're not: don't mind us!

I hope you have a fun & safe trip and a Happy 4th!

So, I am back! I appreciate your patience, I had a little... intestinal discomfort... after my trip, but I am able to participate again.

I have another busy weekend coming up, but this one is in a hotel and should allow for more posting; I expect to at least keep up a daily posting rate through the weekend.

Apologies for the lack of posting this weekend; a minor whirlwind arose in my life but I'm back. I'm posting this message in all of my games first, then circling back around to make an in-game post. I should be caught up later today. Thanks for your patience!

Yeah sure, why not. It's up to you if you want to follow the ravings of a deranged lunatic spouting nonsense or clear the level.

I don't see why not. He seemed like a trustworthy little fella. That said, if you guys want to "blunder around" searching for the stairs and incidentally clear the level, I'm happy with that, too. Algon's good for another beating or two, and the materialistic murderhobo in me is curious as to what else we may find in here.

Your calls.

FYI, I'm currently in the process of moving to a new house.

I've currently been able to keep up with posting for the most part, but there's always the possibility that this could slip; please bot me if needed. Specifically, my internet service is being transferred tomorrow (Sat 19 Aug). This is the riskiest part of my move as regards these PbP games; if I disappear tomorrow, know that I'll be trying desperately hard to get things back in order so that I can play again ASAP. (Hopefully, everything is seamless and you never notice any interruption to my posting.)

Good luck on the move!

Hi all, I'm on vacation, and it's a long one; I don't get back home until late on 11 Sept. I'll never be far from internet, so I intend to keep posting throughout, but it will probably be only once per day, and if I'm not up when I happen to be on, I might miss a post that day. Please don't let me hold up the game if that happens, please bot me.

It's that time again! I just can't stop taking vacations, so sorry. :)

I'm going to be hitting the road Thursday afternoon, not returning until Sunday evening. This is a camping trip; if I have internet access while I'm gone, it will only be through my phone. I'll give it a shot, but I don't have high hopes; posts will be very brief if they happen.

Please bot me if I'm holding anything up!

Hi all, I am back. I'm just checking into Discussion on all of my games at the moment; I will circle back around and catch up in Gameplay before the end of the day today.

Thanks for your patience!

Hey folks. Sorry for the radio silence the past couple days. I'm out of town right now and won't have a ton of time to post until Sunday. Please feel free to bot as needed.

Thanks for your patience.

A belated Happy Thanksgiving to you guys! I hope you all had a great holiday weekend!

Same to you, Bela! And to everyone!

This is a heads-up that I am starting a new job on Monday. Until I have a handle on the culture and internet policies there, I won't be doing any posting from work; this will likely result in a slightly slower posting rate from me. I will do my best to keep things going, but don't hesitate to bot me if I am holding things up.

I hope you all have yourselves a Merry Little Christmas! :)

Sorry for my disappearance this weekend. The unfortunate confluence of a busy schedule and getting hit with a cold and cough took me out.

I'm posting this in my games first thing today, then I'll be catching up in gameplay; I should be caught up by the end of the day.

Hey guys. I've been dealing with insomnia for the past week and a half and it's getting steadily worse. I'm sad to say that until I get it treated (or I learn how to cope with 3 hours of sleep a night), I'm going to be taking a break from my games. I hope to be back soon, but until then, please feel free to bot Izbela and Algon as necessary, GM.

Please feel better soon.

Sorry to hear that, Izbela! Feel better soon!

Thanks you guys! I'm sorry it couldn't be sooner, but I'm finally back and feeling better. And thank you Many-Faced GM for botting Bela and Algon, and being so true to their characters! I almost feel bad asking for them back. =)

Glad to have you back and feeling better!

Awesome!!

Thank you! I'm glad to be back! And glad to see my return is off to an auspicious start.

That was an excellent way to begin, for sure.

Ah well. If that's the price I have to pay for being gone so long, I'll take it.

Hahaha! That's a hell of a start, there, Bela!

Welcome back, I was starting to miss all the ooey-gooey stuff between Bela and Kadrian. ;)

Hah! I don't know about that. GM was doing a pretty good job of portraying Bela's mushiness.

But thanks! =)

This is an early warning that I'll be away for Memorial Day weekend. I start traveling early Thursday AM and won't return until Monday PM. I will make sure that I have an updated "Bot Me" spoiler in my profile before I leave for the vacation, and I'll post again here Wed PM as a reminder.

Hi team; got back later than expected yesterday and off to a slower start than planned for today. I will try to catch up on as many games tonight as I can, but won't truly be back to regular posting until Wed. Thanks for your patience!

Full disclosure. The quasit has a +6 to try to escape so it is possible. With it's DR and Fast Healing, it's also possible that this scene could go a hundred rounds relying only on Algon to squeeze the life out of it.

Algon could try to pin the quasit, and then tie it up or otherwise restrain it. It's really up to you guys.

This is unfortunate timing with the revival of the forums, but I am heading into the woods for the weekend to go float down a river. I won't be back until Sun PM, so expect regular posting from me to resume again on Monday.

LOL!

+1 bonus 2nd level spell/day
Feat
TBD
Stats
+1 BAB, +1 Fort, +1 Ref

Feat is TBD for 2 reasons: 1 - it's getting late here and I need sleep; 2 - I'm considering whether to pick up Scribe Scroll. Shaman's have a pretty interesting blend of utility and damage/debuff spells available to them, and I have access to the full list like a cleric, so if we get some downtime, I can spend some of it cranking out some handy scrolls at a reduced cost.

On the other hand, I could also take something more combat-oriented, as Akuleh has been up in the front lines quite a bit. Anybody have any thoughts/preferences?

HP (Bela): 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 Minimum (1/2 HD+1): 4 + 1 - 1 = 4
HP (Algon): 2d10 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (1, 7) + 1 - 1 = 8

hp level 3: 1d8 ⇒ 4 half+1 it is

Still have to level Rak up; will try to make that a priority for tonight.

I ended up going into Slayer instead of Inquisitor here, so the 1/2+1 hp is based on d10, so 6 instead of 5.

Level 3
Slayer (Vanguard)
hp +7 (rolled 4, taking 6, +1 Con)
+2 Fortitude, +2 Reflex, +0 Will
+1 BAB
Class Abilities: Lookout
Feat: Two-Weapon Fighting

Background Skill points (2): Craft (weapons), Knowledge (geography)

I updated the campaign tab with a few notes about Sandpoint itself and some of the more important NPC's. It's mostly for my own notes but feel free to take a look.
