With Strange Aeons Even Death May Die

Game Master Synxol

We each dwell upon an island forged by our ignorance amidst the black seas of infinity. Should your feeble mind correlate the seemingly disassociated contents of your skull, thus affording you an opportunity to leave your island behind, terrifying vistas of reality will entomb you and you will never know peace.

It was only a matter of time...every species can smell its own extinction. The last ones left won't have a pretty time of it.

Cal flips a coin recalling the tale of a blind fisherman passing by a boat saying " Hello Ladies!"

Unknown: 1d100 ⇒ 46


Half-orc Druid level 1

The flipping coin lands in the desert dune, resting on top before slowing sinking into the ever shifting currents of the sand.

Sorry about guys, I was trying to get that post out last night so that EJB would have a chance to respond before he passed out. Obviously, that didn't quite go according to my plan. My bad :P

Bad Cthulhu!

I used Red Dragon Inn to create the city, I'm not sure if there is an actual location of Dewsdam in Pathfinder, just went with the name that Micheal had said in a post and went from there. Since I've got no real information on where we are at, I'll change the name of the city if needed and get the correct demographics for the place if needed.


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

Been killing those heal checks :P


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

Sorry about the late post, my phone wasn't connecting to the website.


Revery (Erudite Enchanter) in somnis veritas // Kspress (Iksar Monk) Your pain is the breaking of your shell.

There's lots of stuff about Clerics and undead, but I always thought Druids should also be very much opposed to undead. It's a mockery of life, which Druids are all about (show me any fiction character concerned with "balance").

True, Clerics are concerned with the connection between the divine and sentient beings, and undead are the opposite of that in some sense. But that's true of Druids too if 'divine' includes the divine forces of nature, or whatever a Druid reveres.

Not sure where I'm going with this, other than to point out how Grendel and Dandelion would be naturally opposed to undead...

Sorry I didn't post this weekend. I think I was sick, because all I did was sleep, not exactly how I wanted to spend my days off. Tried to post Sunday, but the site was down when I checked on my phone, and then it wouldn't let me log on from my desktop. So I'm guessing I was trying to check when they were updating. I have awesome timing like that :P


You are not sick, it is the influence of the ebil chains!

p.s. We figured you hid in J's bags


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

Ebol chains.

Ebola chains.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

ebil, ebola chains, totally.

lol

Pretty much leveled up, just need to figure out spells.

Oh, concerning Hero Points, do we get one a level, max of 3, correct?

And final question, are we using the mana pool system?


Male Half-Orc bard

Leveled, spells picked, and feat chosen

My intent was not to use Hero Points (I'm rolling, and it's a horror-centric game) or the mana pool (ease) thing, but I'm open to talk about it if people have strong feelings about their use.


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

Oh, no worries, I forgot about the no rolling when I was feat hunting. Just need to switch out a feat :)


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

Are you suggesting we get an extra feat instead of hero points? That would be sweet...


Dandelions wrote:

An extra feat is yours, to make up for the oppression of not receiving Hero Points, for those that put time/effort/energy/creativity into their next post, making something of substance with some respectable length to react (horror would be good here) to the scene/situation you find yourself in.


Male Half-Orc bard

I'm feeling hardcore today. Pulling mysrlf off of spikes, that is soooo metal :)


Reflex Save vs. Instant Death (Require a 17): 1d20 ⇒ 16


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

Confused by this: "last cantrip for the day" - why?

Also, Loki, what clothing, if any are we wearing? Presumably our armor is gone?


Male Half-Orc bard

I had one more can trip to cast as bard well if I had more left for the day. I'll change it to minor magics or better yet Minor Song.


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

But cantrips are forever. They never run out.


Male Half-Orc bard

You only get X amount that you can cast a day. Orisons I think you can cast forever as long as you have one higher then 0 level spell slot left. Of coursr I could be mistaken, it can be difficult to research on shoddy network connections :)


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

No, cantrips can be cast at will, ad infinitum, as can orisions for any that can cast them.

Cantrips: Bards learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Bard Spells Known under “Spells Known.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.


Male Half-Orc bard

Well that shows me :) Thanks for letting me know.


Dandelions wrote:

You're wearing what you were wearing before, and have all of your gear, though its a tad bloody, and you have some nice ventilation ports in it so your skin can breathe (good for roleplay, but doesn't affect your armour stats)


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

Level:
+1 Con chosen
50 hp now
5th level feat: Eldritch Heritage (Boreal)
4th level mystery spell (Barkskin).
Other spells need to be chosen. Is someone picking Comprehend Languages?
5th level: +3 competence bonus on Perception checks that do not rely upon hearing, and the initiative penalty for being deaf is reduced to –2


Male Half-Orc bard

I did :) as well as tongues as one of second level bard spells.
HP 60
5th level feat: Iron Hide
Inspire competence + 2


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

i just need to pick what spells Grendel has in his melon, other than that he should be all leveled up and spiffy. Ready for the next chewing by undead creature!

There's an initiative penalty for being deaf? I guess if you couldn't see it coming that makes sense, but seems like it would be a dependent on the situation.


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

Yes, by the Oracle rules there's a penalty. Starts at -4. 'Tis a curse, to be sure.

Dandelion is CLANGED.


Male Half-Orc bard

And Calvoric is completed


If needed...

20d100 ⇒ (62, 67, 12, 88, 55, 91, 44, 14, 93, 63, 87, 23, 20, 60, 53, 94, 7, 78, 34, 84) = 1129


Tis live: 10d100 ⇒ (34, 28, 80, 59, 7, 57, 7, 42, 18, 8) = 340

Mystery: 1d1000 + 0 ⇒ (455) + 0 = 455


Male Half-Orc bard

Swift action to make my sword a +1 weapon for 1 minute, spell combat allows me to cast a spell with a standard action as part of my attack action. ( As long as I have one hand free, I can cast a spell and attack.) Like two weapon fighting, I suffer a -2 to hit for the round. I cast shield which gives me a + 4 to my AC, my new AC is 20. I have combat casting feat which gives me a +4 to cast on the defensive. I am only as far as I know suffering -1 to hit before the sleep deprivation


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

You only have to concentrate to bring down the bolts from Call Lightning, plus the bolts are doing 3d10 due to weather conditions, (standard action concentration check), and he tried to move back on the defensive.

"Grendel's movements had been tracked perfectly and the javelin sinks deep into his chest, flashing blood into his throat, and making it difficult to breathe properly. His concentration on his offensive spell washes away like blood from an inn's entryway."

I had rolled your concentration against the damage from the confirmed crit that hit you.

p.s. If you could put Nagrish's stats on your sheet somewhere, that would make life easy like for lazy DMs


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

I put Nagrish's info under private notes on Grendel's character sheet. Still have to finish it up a little.


If you could toss Nagrish's stats in any other slot that would help muchly, private notes are hidden from all but thee.


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

Seems a shame to waste this, so I put it here:
Dandelion smiles as the two beastly humanoids fight each other. He knows the effect will not last, but wonders if they're smart enough to know how they've been manipulated. Now, if the other one gets the same treatment......

Dandelion decides to give it a try. He steps back again, and gives a Murderous Command to the second one, who was attacked by the first, again, ensuring he doesn't expose himself to attack while concentrating on the spell. If this works, he wonders if the two will just keep fighting each other.

He thinks he'll have to change tactics next, but he watches to see what the ogres do right now.


Dandelion (Half-Orc Oracle of Nature)

... and now, echoes of Kindergarten Cop.

Cue thick Austrian accent: "I don't have a tumor!"


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

"It's a headache, not a tumor!"

"You got a tumor!"

lol, nothing like a roomful of 5 years to wipe out any tough cop.

And moved Nagrish's info to an actual visible spot on Grendel's sheet.
