What do you get when an android crosses paths with a Balor Lord? I hope to find out.

C'mon in, the water is fine!


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Just to let everyone know, I'll be updating the house rules and posting a 'war' journal from my NPC this weekend on the Campaign Info tab. Make sure you guys take a look at the rules at least before we get started.

Loup Blanc coming in, just got the PM. Thanks for having me aboard, Lord Manticore! I look forward to seeing how this character does. I'll update the relevant stats into the profile's top.

Ditto LM - thanks a lot for taking me on board for this one. I'm sure we are in for a ride.

Well met Lucifer, I am also curious to see how the Corbie pans out - I have heard about the class from someone who appreciates a lot the work of Tripod Machine.

Also wanted to ask you LM - what are your feelings regarding the dual Mythic Path? Yes? No? If I am going to play a 'gish' I need to start wondering where I'll head with him (if he survives), and this doubt actually came up when I was chosing my campaign trait.

Last question - as I said, my character can be 'tailored' to play ranged or melee. Would it be somehow acceptable to adapt this as the group comes together, or we go 'as is' and that's that? Maybe you already selected the team with all those considerations in mind? ;)


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

@Akkramar: I am fine with dual pathing, per se, although I'm concerned about the balancing issues. I've read several player and DM reviews, and the balancing act from about Book 4 on has me a little worried. I have some tricks that can mitigate that, but it will get pretty hairy by the last book. I'm playing it by ear for now; it will be a good year or so before we start getting into the latter half of the AP.

As for for choosing melee or ranged, I say to just adapt as you go. I did not pick any super front line tanks because the context is that you were supposed to infiltrate into support positions, to maximize your chances of surviving the mission. No one realizes that it's your fate to become the lynchpins of the Last Crusade! That's part of the reason why I setup the advanced android template; to give everyone options on planning their characters for the long haul.

Yeah, I've heard quite some talk around the boards though I never really wanted to spoiler it for me. I have seen gestalt offered as an alternative to Mythic characters.

Lynchpins of the Last Crusade - now there's a title!

redbeard checking in, thanks for having me.

I'm excited to see how the medic goes.

See Bethune for all your first aid related needs!

So we have a Corbie, a Medic, and a Ranger(Trapper), who's our fourth?


The short android walked in and nodded to the others, Hello.

On a side note, if it isn't obvious, I'll be going archmage.

Well... I'm ranger but probably just for one level - then it is Wizard for a while ;)


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

I'm also expecting a spell-less ranger to show up as well, Bethune.

I'm going to start posting additional info onto the Campaign Info tab: I'll repost the 'advanced' android template, a couple of house rules, and a little prologue content (under a spoiler tag).

Also, given the background theme of this campaign, and that the Numeria books will be coming out soonish, I have decided to make one small change. Anticipating that there will be a section on 'implants,' each of your characters will start off with 1 implant. I ask that you guys add this to your character sheet under the following:

Greyfang communicator - This implant (beta) allows communications between two or more individuals who have this device implanted. This effect works like the spell telepathy, with a range of 1000'. This device cannot pick up thoughts, nor 'hear' those who actually use telepathy. Drawback: Any spell or ability that affects hearing will short out the device, as it is implanted at the end of the user's ear canal.

I'll let everyone know when the tab has been updated.


Stats:
HP 16/16 | AC 17 T 13 FF 14| F +1 R +3 W +5

OK the Campaign Info tab has been updated and ready for viewing. I'm looking forward to running into you guys soon enough.

Are we aware of all the spoilered information Manticore?


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Your characters are not, at least not now. It is mostly for flavor.


Male Human Fighter 6 | HP 56/56 | AC 16/17 | Str +2*, Dex +7*, Con +5*, Int +1, Wis +2, Cha +2 | Passive Insight 12, Perception 15, Stealth 14 | Initiative +4

Alright, good to know on the implant. I'll update the sheet and check out the info.

Checked out the info - really cool formatting and feel :D

Greyfang communicator will be awesome for our scout to get back to us ;)


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Thanks. I was originally going to call it something else, but I was afraid of copyright lawyers. :p


Female Android Spell-Less Ranger 2 Init. + 4 Percep. + 10 AC 19 T 14 FF 15 HP 24/26 F + 6 R + 7 W + 3

Suthuri, checking in. Deploying Vengeance 'Droid Sarasanna, character updated. ^_^

Thanks again, LM, for picking me. ^_^ I look forward to seeing how this spell-less ranger develops. Sarasanna shall remain ranger for the foreseeable future.
I also look forward to seeing how the group works together. We have some interesting 'droids being sent out for action. ~_^

A few changes to gear: I opted for the halberd over the longspear, for the sake of damage type versatility, more trip, and flavor. I switched the chain shirt for studded leather, so I could still afford a longbow and all cold iron weapons.


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Glad to have you onboard, Sarasanna. The changes are fine.

I've started the Gameplay tag, since we are all ready. Go ahead and start posting.

While on a pc, rolling in the discussion thread is okay.

But when I am posting from a tablet or phone, it gets really cumbersome.

history: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

linguistics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

I understand completely. My 'second' computer here in my office is an iPad mini, and an attached Logitech bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard makes it a little easier, but the iPad, as much as I like it for business use, leaves a bit to be desired in the mapping/rpg department.

I'll post the responses to your skill checks in the gameplay thread, under spoiler tags.

by the way, sorry for short notice, but I'll be at at a music festival camping from tomorrow afternoon till Sunday afternoon. I will most likely not be able to make any posts, but I'll make a swift recovery sunday night and have something up in response to what I've missed.

Thanks, sorry again to spring it on you only a day in advance.


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Thanks for the link, guys. Unfortunately when I try to paste the link of the text here, my tablet reloads the page instead of pasting.

As for the short notice, don't sweat it. If something comes up, I'll DMPC your character until you get back. Have fun at the festival.

Oh god, it's been terrible!! Mexico lost, Lollapallooza was cancelled, and you offered to volunteer to take on the terrasque in the next room.

Other than that, how was your weekend?

Twas weird, wild and wonderful. Everything I expected, haha.

I'm a bit tired however, but recovery will come sooner than later.

Sounds like it was a lot of fun. I'm glad to hear you had a good time.

Thank you sir!


I am also traveling this week, unfortunately my Internet connection is not as stable as I was expecting. I'll continue to try and keep up though.


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Not a problem I was going to actually give everyone a heads up: I found out from my boss last night that I'm being sent up to Tulsa on Thursday to meet with one of our directors on business. I won't have internet for pretty much the entire day, and I'll be flying back on Friday (which means I'll likely be home on Sunday, LOL). Given that, I think this is going to be a pretty short week for gaming. If you guys can post, especially from Friday on, go ahead, but I didn't want people to think that the game was closed, just being patriotic!


My apologies, I was on vacation and expected to be able to post via tablet/cell only to find that I had no internet connection.

Funny part, we went to an Amish community the last day we were there and had full connection available.


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Oh wow, that's not something that I would have expected to hear. Were you on like a 3G/4G network, or were you actually getting wi-fi?


I wasn't even able to send text messages.

On the otherhand, when we went shopping in Amish country I had 4g and full bars.

Go figure.


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

LOL maybe it was because there's nothing around there to block the signals? It's not like there's a vast Amish conspiracy or anything...is there? o_O


Male Human Fighter 6 | HP 56/56 | AC 16/17 | Str +2*, Dex +7*, Con +5*, Int +1, Wis +2, Cha +2 | Passive Insight 12, Perception 15, Stealth 14 | Initiative +4

Honestly, I live near Amish country, and you'd be amazed at what they have/do sometimes. The rules are strict... and strictly bypassed, from what I understand.

The main surprising thing is the frequency with which you see them at Walmart.


Female Android Spell-Less Ranger 2 Init. + 4 Percep. + 10 AC 19 T 14 FF 15 HP 24/26 F + 6 R + 7 W + 3

Do they have a special parking places for horse drawn carriages? ~_^


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Actually, I'm kind of curious myself...


I want to be the guy that "owns" all the tech they use. Saw quite a few driving cars and boats with motors. Turns out they can't 'own' modern tech.


Male Human Fighter 6 | HP 56/56 | AC 16/17 | Str +2*, Dex +7*, Con +5*, Int +1, Wis +2, Cha +2 | Passive Insight 12, Perception 15, Stealth 14 | Initiative +4

Special spots? Not as far as I know. They just park them in normal parking spots, usually. Or somewhere off the road in the shade.

Of course, a number of them get there in cars owned by others, and I've seen a couple talking on cell phones to call their rides home. Like Dakkar says, they can't own modern technology, but it seems plenty of them can sure as hell use it. It's weird.


Female Android Spell-Less Ranger 2 Init. + 4 Percep. + 10 AC 19 T 14 FF 15 HP 24/26 F + 6 R + 7 W + 3

Yeah... it really raises the question, why have all these restrictions and traditional rules if all that people do is find ways of getting around them?


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

It's similar for Orthodox Jews. On the Shabbat (from sundown to sundown on Friday thru Saturday), they are not supposed to touch any type of modern tech, i.e. light switches, cars, etc. So what a lot of them do is they'll actually hire someone or ask a non-Jewish friend to do that stuff for them. There's nothing in the Torah that says you can't have someone else do the heavy lifting...

I didn't know that there was a group even stricter than the Amnish about technology. O.O

Though considering the traditionalism of Hasidic communities, I guess it makes sense - in its own way.

The trick is burn the bad rolls on stealth vs. rocks, and save the good rolls for stuff with demons!

And I totally crited a climb! ^_^

Apologies for the delay people - last couple of days have been really busy with job hunting.

On a side note, I will be travelling tomorrow with the family, and until about midday Tuesday - internet access will be limited to phone, so posting will probably be irregular.

But I will still post today ;)


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

Not a problem.


Just to confirm,

We have 3 people investigating a tunnel, and the rest in the first area?


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

That would be correct. If I remember correctly, 2 have gone back east, and 1 has gone west along the tunnel.


Is there an easy way to clear up that font?


Male Drow Noble Accountant 12/Monk 10

We've been using a website that 'scrambles' whatever you type into it. If you're having a hard time reading it, I can stop.


Male Human Fighter 6 | HP 56/56 | AC 16/17 | Str +2*, Dex +7*, Con +5*, Int +1, Wis +2, Cha +2 | Passive Insight 12, Perception 15, Stealth 14 | Initiative +4

One thing I'll say, LM, is that you may want to "tone down" how scrambled it gets. I've been doing a straight through the middle, minimum scramble setting on my posts; it looks like you've got the scramble going down as well, and possibly on normal amount. Altering the settings can make it easier to read.
