I'm hoping the rolls will even out and I've used up bad rolls on plot points rather than a life or death situation.

DC24 save! 7th Level Spell!

Quickest TPK on the boards, or can we take down a few level 13+ characters who have got the drop on us?

This sequence with Morag and the Sorcerer is actually the one event I don't really like, and I keep rewriting it (I've got 2 live groups going through this campaign).

It's to rigged against the party, feels very rail roady, and is the stereotypical, "I'm a big bad tough guy and could totally squash you, but today... I'm going to let you live."


Male Human Arcane Duelist 1

Oh well, Cedric was still badass for like 6 seconds.


Unknown

And you did actually succeed against Morag.


Unknown

Hotshot seems to have been MIA for a couple of days, so going to GMPC his character for now and hopefully he will return soon.


Unknown

FYI, I will dish out experience once the party is done with this area.


So 2.88 gold goes in group loot.
6.8 gold per person.

Unless we want to be generous and give it to Derig.


Male Half-Elf Alchemist/3 HP 16/20

Or if Markov decides to not mention the coins. I don't think anyone saw him take it. But he already has enough so u don't have to worry about that.


Unknown

It appears most of the party wants to head back to Gumlat to either check out Grays farm or hang out at the church of Erastil. (though several mentioned going to a temple, but that would involve going to Coran instead).

Does the group want to elect/nominate someone to give a final decision on this (and future decisions)?

Regardless if you could also establish a general marching order and sleep watch order. 2-3 abreast for marching is fine for most areas in the campaign. I'll assume these marching orders and watch orders for all situations until told otherwise.


Unknown

I also still need new init rolls for Alma, Heligar and Irina.

Hotshot will effectively be leaving the party when you leave the ruins.

In character I know my Pally would inside on making the final decision. OOC I don't really care.

I would plan to be in front for marching order since I don't have a range attack. For sleep watch order, I don't have a preference in when I watch, but perhaps, Match me up with someone who doesn't have to be in melee range.


Male Elf Cleric 13: AC 25, Hit Points 99/99, Perception +21, Initiative +8 Channels left 5/5 Current buffs: magic circle of PfE, comprehend languages

Alma, that doesn't seem especially noble or humble? Is a paladin really going to insist on his own judgement being superior like that?

I'm just thinking about noble embodiments of virtue and I have a hard time imagining Galahad being so demanding. I mean... a metaphor about gambling gets Mala pinging your paladin radar? I'm not sure how we'll get through a full week together as a group.


So marching order is set. As per watch assignments I suggest Alma and Irina for first; Malaswyn, Heligar, and Markov for second; and then Cedric and myself for third. That way we have a more-or-less martial class as well as a (potential) healer for each watch.


Male Elf Cleric 13: AC 25, Hit Points 99/99, Perception +21, Initiative +8 Channels left 5/5 Current buffs: magic circle of PfE, comprehend languages

Malaswyn will gently insist on taking the 3rd watch. He worships Sarenrae, the Dawnflower, and is obliged to witness the dawn anyway.


Unknown

Swapping Malaswyn and Cedric then on the watch order?

So 1st Alma/Irina.
2nd Cedric/Heligar/Markov
3rd Malaswyn/Warren.


Male Human Paladin/2 HP 28/33

I have always viewed Paladin's as being a bit self righteous. Which is why I decided to play one this time, as I haven't done so before. Normally, i'm drawn into the role of being a big conniving self centered.

My character thinks that all others should strive to be completely pure as he does, despite the obvious flaws in such an actual goal.

Personally, I think the little bit of drama caused by his self righteousness will end up being fun to roleplay out.

I view him as one of those friends, that can be annoying to hang around at times, but when you really need him, your glad he is there because he will do everything to he can to protect each person.


Unknown

Looks like Irina has probably dropped out.


Nope, still here and reading along. Just been busy, so no time to put together many posts. Sorry, I didn't mean to be so absent.


Unknown

Ok, cool, glad to hear you are still about.


Unknown

This feels like I'm watching a horror movie in slow motion :) Queue creepy music....


Male Half-Elf Alchemist/3 HP 16/20

The scene fits well. A group of people being chased, in a church at night in an area where there's legends of werewolves. Sounds like a movie plot to me.


Yeah. Great atmosphere, TOTH!


Male Human Arcane Duelist 1

*high fives GM*


Unknown

I blame the party. This wasn't actually the intended location or time for this battle, but it just fit to well to pass up on.

Creepy music ends (that's how you know something bad is really going to happen).


Male Human Paladin/2 HP 28/33

This is the part where I say... I will be right back..

Duh duh DUH!!


Unknown

Malaswyn graduates from rolling nat 1's to nat 2's.


Male Elf Cleric 13: AC 25, Hit Points 99/99, Perception +21, Initiative +8 Channels left 5/5 Current buffs: magic circle of PfE, comprehend languages

As long as I peak right and meet the BBEG with 18, 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, 20, 19, 19, 18, 18...


Unknown

The werewolves are sad that in a round with four attacks they failed to score a single hit.


Male Human Arcane Duelist 1

Cedric is glad for silly-high AC caused by both cover and sacredness.


Unknown

The shot trimmed your hair a bit, but AC 22....


Unknown

At least the wolves have their saving throws going for them.

Grrrrrr....grumble, grumble...


Alma, just let me know if this is all coming in too hot. I'm not actually interested in corrupting your character. So far, Alma has hung upside down and clubbed unconscious a helpless prisoner, and slain another helpless foe. Irina just has to rub these in his face a bit to start planting that seed of doubt, and try to cultivate some patterns of behavior in Alma.

In my mind, the paladin from Irina's story was two steps from falling herself, if she even was a true paladin of the Mithral Rose, though all those details are in the GM's hands.


Male Human Paladin/2 HP 28/33

You are fine Irina. The challenge for me is to try to have good justification on his actions that still fall within line of how I view Paladins (which may differ then how others do).

For example, killing the werewolf with a coup de gras, while it was helpless, I felt that a Paladin would do this because the foe wanted him dead. Or knocking a prisoner out, who I felt wronged us (and specifically my character for leading him to danger.)

The trick for me is to be consistent, instead of going with my normal play style, which is kill everything because I can :)

Or if all else fails, perhaps I can become an Anti-Paladin :)


Male Human Arcane Duelist 1

Although the law aspect of paladin is sometimes played as second to the good part, it's really pretty important. I don't think of a paladin as the kind of guy who would give any slack to a poor man who stole to feed his family, likewise they aren't necessarily merciful towards enemies, and certainly not towards creatures they see as abominations.

Everyone does the code of conduct thing differently, but for my part I haven't noticed Alma to be particularly non-paladiny in any way.

Of course, paladins falling is awesome, so go with whatever happens :D


Oh, I don't think he's done anything fall-worthy at this point, but they are more greyish areas of morality as opposed to the virtuous, only facing a foe in fair and honourable combat. I've played three paladins in my time, and two of them had a thing for the ladies (the other was a lady).

It's all about Irina's warped view of paladins because of her history. She sees them as obnoxious sanctimonious hypocrites who can't keep their noses out of other people's affairs, and only follow their vaunted codes of conduct when it suits them, so anything she sees that's "real" and less than "ideally virtuous" behaviour, she's going to pounce on.


Male Human Paladin/2 HP 28/33

Truth be told, after reading your background Irina, that is what convinced me I should play a Pally. Because of the potential back and forth roleplay that would potentially come up. I have tried to be a little obnoxious sanctimonious SOB.. with out being too annoying. Just because its fun :)

Though, when I fall, i'm taking you all with me.. And then we will make tower take us through a campaign as evil characters ;)

On a unrelated note, how much money have we gotten, it appears I didn't change my stat block with that info.


Male Human Arcane Duelist 1

Oh dear, if we end up evil Cedric is going to have a hell of a time when he realizes he's his father :D


Male Elf Cleric 13: AC 25, Hit Points 99/99, Perception +21, Initiative +8 Channels left 5/5 Current buffs: magic circle of PfE, comprehend languages

The chances of Mala turning evil are very slim: one hundred years of loyal devotion to virtue rewarded by divine grace; utterly committed to Sarenrae and without the brittle rigidity of paldinhood.

Each person should have added 19.43 gp to their characters.


Markov wrote:
"This box for two doses. This box should fetch somewhere around 1500gp."

That other 500 is coming out of your pay.

I'm just kidding there, but we should probably be more conscientious in the future. 500 gold is a little bit too much extra pay for waking someone up in the middle of the night.


Male Half-Elf Alchemist/3 HP 16/20

well if we sold it we most likely get half that. unless we happened to find a collector who would buy it at full price. we still have the chalice anyway.


Male Human Arcane Duelist 1

I agree with Markov, finding a full-price buyer for a fancy box in a town like this is probably better left to the herbalist :P Unless we went around waking up the town to sell things I don't see how we would have been able to buy anything anyways. Some adventurers put their friends above their gold!


That was my mistake entirely: I usually play campaigns where we don't bother with selling things and our GM just tells us how much gold we get from what we sell, and so I'm not used to the half-price rules. My apologies to Markov for what probably came off as rude.


Unknown

I will GMPC Heligar's saves this afternoon if she is unable to check in.

And your not even a Paladin... odd :)


Male Half-Elf Alchemist/3 HP 16/20

No problem. I didn't take it that way.


Sorry for the absence everyone. Was stuck in a busy stretch this week. Thanks for DMPCing Heligar.
