You bloodthirsty vampire!

That is good news, MH. Enjoy the rest after such a trying op, you deserve it. It sounds gruelling.

Have you chaps got a Fathers Day in the US today?

All the best

Kenan was a risk taker and not really a team player in many ways. He didn't spend any time buffing or the like before heading upstairs and that proved his undoing. One on one he couldn't stand up to a Mantis.

Varlis is 75% archer and 25% melee, but above all he is more of a lawful team warrior.

Personally I detest things like resurrection and DMs fiat to keep PCs alive. I played in campaigns where death is irrelevant and the game soon begins to pale after a few encounters.

But I do have a soft spot for reincarnation. That is a fun spell.

Cheers

Hell yes!

Its like a fine wine, better with every year.

Not sure what happens when we get TPKed.

Cheers

DM has posted so we are back in action.

Yep

Apologies if I came across a bit short with that last post. The number of times that DMs and players have just dropped out without a word has tainted my belief in human nature.

To put it another way, Whispering Cairn has been brutal and four characters seem like the bare minimum when one PC falling would otherwise leave only two to deal with things like a beetle and a swarm.

GM decision is final though.

Great stuff. The more the merrier.

ta.

So Pethorn can have a masterwork chain shirt for 250/3=84gp. Made by his adopted dad.

That leaves 19gp to spend.

Cheers

I am tempted to try to make you change your mind LB. Vedic is a cracking character and maybe you should give it another think? But then I am sure you have done this already with such a good game.

Nevertheless I hope your job, school, and home life settle down and be lucky.

Cheers

what is the stall speed of an african swallow? Is that where you are going Eli?

cheers

Have fun Wellard! I'll keep an eye out for Usk.

I'm at a wedding this weekend. Going far into welsh wales. And as for Varlis, I'll answer your questions tonight (its 10.30am here at the mo.)

Cheers

I have been called into work for the rest of the day so Tresmeer will have to wait.

Cheers

No problem at all. Plenty of space at the smithy.

Hi William

Could I get a copy too? I will run this one day. I will. I will. Done the Temple, used parts of the Keep before but never wholesale. Perhaps your conversion will nudge me over the edge.

Thanks in advance

Good luck with the game, Wrath. nice to sit you back in the hot seat. They can't keep a good man down!

Cheers

It's at least a weeks travel north to Verbobonc, but maybe the Lords can send an order?

GM can you reduce my tithe to the Lords by 20 gold and I'll give that to Pettry.

Cheers

Some of her older ones are stunning black and white ones. Cities so villages should be a snap.

Away until Monday.

If no one else volunteers then I'll do the loot after this weekend.

Sorry Barnabas - I didn't mean dwarfocentric vikings. I meant starting from scratch and using Kingmaker as a template in a different setting to the Underdark or the River Kingdoms.

Cheers

Just signed up for Throne of Night.

I like the concept of Kingmaker but I'd set it in a bunch of Viking/Moonshae Isles with a touch of undead. One day. Where would you guys do it?

Cheers

......and generally seems like a pretty great guy who it would be awesome to game with.

Before this love in gets too mushy, Creighton killed me one, no, two times during our failed attempt at the Temple of Elemental Evil!

...and his wizards always survive. Don't expect the seventh cavalry approach to saving the party. Even his one legged wizard in Savage Tide managed to get away from the raptor!

Perhaps though the most important thing is the guy is my friend.

Boiler working .....but for how long.

I'd echo Taedric, data loss makes me nervous, computer crashes make my wallet nervouser.

Cheers

My central heating boiler did the opposite yesterday. Silence. No womph! No fan and no hot water....

Funny think is we are waiting on a quote from a plumber. If only it could have lasted two more weeks.

Ye Gods.

Have a good one. I am camping all weekend (and Monday) after a wargames convention running Pathfinder on Saturday.

Cheers

The three laws of Kergh (so far)

1) Follow the orders of his faith
2) Do what Mikhail wants, unless it conflicts with the first law.
3) Do what Ethaniel wants, unless it conflicts with either of the first two laws.

This is an evil campaign so suppose NPCs better look after themselves. Especially ones who know anything about us. I personally have no feelings either way for Ariana. If she can find a way to help us then Kergh wouldn't take much convincing to let her live.

As for the campaign, you are doing just fine. You are putting bundles of effort in and it shows. My only concern would be the lack of any sort of map when we hit fifth level or higher. Then the spells area of effects may become an issue.

The only other thing I have noticed is the lack of much banter between us. I hope that grows once we are free from the prison. There are some fantastic posters in this game and it would be good if we could start bonding in some ways. Though how we bond with that fruitcake Oswald I have no idea.

Cheers

I bet you were hopping mad, Creighton! This is such an odd way to make people want to buy his new shiny product. He has made a name for himself, temporarily, but I'd predict that in a few months time this will all be forgotten - just like his product.

For myself, as one of your writers (in my own small way) I remember the way Villainous Pirates was reviewed, criticised and you re-wrote parts of it, all in the space of a day or two.

No sour grapes then just an attempt to make a better product.

Cheers

Compared to some of the games I am in, the combat posts are pretty lengthy on this one. And have a great holiday Kaynen.

Looks like Andre.

As a bona fide Brit I know nothin' about Mr Wallman's games. Instead I played Confederates at Shiloh at the weekend. No miners or diggers in sight, but lots of trees and a sunken road.

They need new managers - the whole country in fact.

To get everyone posting at the same speed is hard. It only takes one or two to slow things down. There are a few games where that happens, but they are few. I play in several games so it isn't such an issue for me.

If someone keeps missing posting then they can become a liability. I ran a Viking game which included two friends from my home play. It was a bad mistake. They didn't keep up and it became apparent that the game was suffering. In the end the game died.

Also there were eight PCs and I am coming round to the idea that smaller parties are quicker for a pbp. Maybe four is the ideal number?

Cheers

Ready and waiting.

I've also been really sick for the past week or so, thus the lack of posting. Sorry for my absence.

Good to have you back Derrick.

Remember Andre has protection vs evil on him. And thanks for the sentiments.

cheers

Thanks CH

Now have two infections and on second lot of antibiotics so I am a bit fuzzy for pbps yet.

Cheers

Now have two infections and on second lot of antibiotics so I am a bit fuzzy for pbps yet. I could cope with the chest infection over the last four weeks old but this shiny sinusitis is a bit more vicious.

Sorry TT, chaps, I'll post as soon as I am better.

Cheers

Now have two infections and on second lot of antibiotics so I am a bit fuzzy for pbps yet. The chest infection I have had for four weeks but this new one is unfortunately directed at my sinuses. Wish I could give you a when but I will keep you informed.

Good luck with the gnolls.

Thanks donato. I was a little surprised at that. Makes sense now.

More the merrier. It is a lovely venue. We are very lucky. Gaming with a view of the beach and sea shore which is only across the road.

Of course being gamers, fresh air and bright light are avoided at all costs!

Just to forewarn everyone, I am effectively on holiday from Sunday for ten days. This is because I run a mini-con for a growing group of friends from the area next weekend - all in a local pub on the seafront, with food and drink on tap.
Aside from finishing maps for my 7 hour scenario, there are numerous last minute emails and this time it looks like one of my fellow DMs may have some serious real life issues. So I could be finishing another 4 hour adventure tout de suite! Hence my Pathfinder time will be devoted to that rather than being on the boards.
Afterwards it generally takes me a few days to recover and get the play-by-post bug again so look for me coming from the east by 14th March (this only happens twice a year by the way). Please NPC my character when necessary, I doubt I’ll have time to help with that or so my ever-so-patient wife has told me.
