"Finally, a clear shot!" Krokod says. Then realizes this also means they could also all die horribly now... But then, at least there is a balance? Another bolt of flame erupts from him... aiming for the one that came down the stairs
Sympathies, GM!
Very sorry. I've had a terrible cold and it has fuzzed my brain and made me want to sleep in what free time I have. I thought I had put up a comment about it here but obviously didn't. I'm a bit lost on stair placement and access but will try to get back into things.
Krokod casts Endure elements upon himself, the better to enter the cold aura. He's not sure it will help but it can't hurt.
Happy new Year!
Following Kessir's lead (and for once without questions), Krokod also prepares for an enemy to come through the door way so he might send a burst of fire.
Okay. Got swamped on the holidays, now have a break (For a time) and will try to catch up. Hope all have had happy holidays.
"OH great! That's just..." He breaks into a run as he THOUGHT he heard a thud! A Kriemhild sounding thud?
"Oh blazes," He fusses at that, yanked out of his deep and foreboding thoughts by the offer of a shelter to a much less important but beloved topic, "I had 7 silver on you to win!"
Krokod hears this talk of infection with some alarm. For now he follows. It's all so very wrong. Winter is here, and we become harder and crueler. But we might need to to survive? THIS Is why I left... well, that and nearly being sacrificed.
"You want me to .. risk touching them and try a magic that lets them endure the elements? I don't know if it would work and I'm skittish about risking infection but I can try?" Krokod offers
Krokod nods then follows. Frustration crosses his features, and no small amount of concern, but he's not about to abandon his friends
Krokod's attention is drawn back by Linge, "how can I help?" He offers. Ready to help lift, or hold healing supplies etc
OH! Yeah, I did misunderstand. Well good. We need shelter after this.
*Facepalm* What have I done.
Hearing the creaking, a suspicion comes on Krokod, "No no no no... this is supposed to be our shelter, don't you DARE break!!!" He feels frozen, not with cold, but caught between choices. He was told to see to Linge, but she seems to be a bit unresponsive. The cold is getting worse, and now the roof maybe collapsing? or maybe he's wrong? "Careful everyone, I hear creaking.. not sure, but it's possible the snow and ice is weightng the roof down!" Then he adds, "I REALLY hope I'm wrong."
(Plus 4 for Endurance feat) Feeling the chill, he says, "We're near shelter, but I can cast something to help against the cold if anyone needs it."
Krokod nods, and races to rejoin Linge and Horn. He puts a hand on her shoulder, "Linge, Linge? Are you.. are you okay?" SHe's not, he knows that, then softer "I'm sorry it is all so horrible."
Krokod is rushed, he hadn't expected them to move so quickly, but it does let him notice how sickly they seem. Confusion, and he casts again this time, focusing on the short sword of the one attacking him. The blade's hit seems to heat up instantly.
"Drop it, or burn." A warning
Okay, thank you. I didn't mean to spoil Kreimhild's fun, but I didn't want to presume and well, Krokod is tied to fire and likely standard fire is his default. Heck, he wouldn't WANT to tap into abyssal fire even if he could. Bad for the digestion and the soul. :) But the color changes maybe something he experiments with later
Krokod's brows lift as for a moment, the flame on his bolt goes from regular red and yellow to silver, then gone back again Wait, how did that happen? And he races in, and fires the bolt... it shoots blazing with the fire of room temperature!
"I don't think I can change the color. It just looks like flame . Dancing lights can look fae, this? Just regular light/fire"
Apologies, I'm really behind today in all my games. There was Christmas shopping madness that took much longer than I hoped
A shake of his head, not one of his gifts. He loads his crossbow, and casts a light spell on the bolt. "I think if I can get this inside a window or even near it, it may help throw them off as it looks a bit like fire. They may think we're burning the place down."
"Damn it. I could set fire to the building but at this rate we'll need it for haven." Using Kriemhild as cover and hoping she understands, he hurls a ray of flame at the only target he can see. Hair writhes, the snow about him melts slightly as he does so.
"At this rate, we're all going to have a LOT of Character" Krokod says, "Sorry, besides keeping us warm I'm not sure I'm very useful right now. Tell me what to do and I'll try."
Krokod's eyes widen as Mia is hit and he begins to curse under his breath
Krokod looks troubled at this talk, "Linge is right. Trust me, a frozen heart is no defense against the cold. It's a victory for it, and a loss of...everything."
Thanksgiving stuff ongoing so I may not be posting until Friday
“But what would be the end goal for a magical winter and capturing a Taldane Noblewoman?” Kessir said to Krokod. “Why send human raiders if they have winter-touched fey at their disposal?” "The world would have to pay tribute or it would starve, for one," Krokod answers, "But as for the capturing of the noble woman? I don't know. Maybe she has there's something about her bloodline? I swear to you, Kessir, if I knew the whys, I'd tell you. I ran to what I thought was safety so I'd never have to deal with winter witches or their like again."
Krokod wakes hard in timne to hear... That guy is a t&*%, tried to talk me into murdering you for a clearly not serious offer of "joining as a general". Which does however show that we are dealing with amateurs. Does Frozen throne ring a bell to anyone Irriseni maybe? Also, they are lead by a male, so perhaps some pretty low tier raiding group? If its Irrisen I still have not the foggiest idea as to how they got here. She says to the party. and "I'll find out tomorrow," she says before turning over and settling back down in her bedroll. "Stick a needle in his eye if starts insulting you like that again." I don't remember every woman in the village being this scary. Wearily he says, "The Frozen throne is I think where the chosen queen of Irrisien rules from.. but it's been a long time." He rubs at his eyes, "Gods above I was just a child when I left. I don't how they got here either. But if the cold is coming from somewhere, then maybe that same magic is carrying some of these raiders. IF that's the case, we have an invasion over...hundreds and hundreds of miles."
Krokod funnels heat into the tent, a kindness
ZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Pretty quickly if I can close off the worst of the wind or cold."
Krokod is FULL of questions, but then, who is he to pressure when he had held his own secrets tight? "I've had a worse day myself, now that I think about it. I suppose it's all relative. Glad none of us died though."
Krokod works to keep everyone warm, using his spark and Prestidigitation to get a fire going and if need be, he'll thaw food. "Hell of a day, huh?"
Krokod has gone rather quiet, assisting as he could, thinking over the choices, "I guess here is as safe, or dangerous, as anywhere else. SInce it is a coin toss. We'll want to post a guard, at all times, of course, right?" He looks to the more tactically savvy
Krokod looks at Kessir with a kind of respect and mutters "I should have listened more at service." then more clearly he says "We need to find a warm place or at least shelter to rest up and restore. Don't you guys think?"
Very sorry about that folks. Hadn't realized I'd gotten that far behindNo worries. We can chalk it up to Krokod freezing (pun possibly intended) when the violence popped off. Thanks
"Agree with it or not, it's done" Krokod says with a sigh not liking the tension and feeling like dirt for his poor reaction time, "Maybe in the future we'll find another way if need to. Maybe we won't. I know you're mad, Linge, but.. most of us have never been in a situation like this before. "
Very sorry about that folks. Hadn't realized I'd gotten that far behind
The flames in his hands dim, it all happened so quickly, Krokod was still remembering Mia getting torn into "Yeah, too damned close. Mia, we need to get you healing as soon as we can." He casts detect magic about. There are magic potions of healing, he's seen them. Maybe one of these guys has one!
Apologies, folks. I maybe a bit slow to post this weekend. Our dog has passed. She was very old, not healthy, so now is beyond pain, but still.. not at top of my game mentally right now :(
Krokod sees the drawn swords, and decides he doesn't want to get stabbed. Words pop and hiss out of his mouth as he gestures, eyes aglow.
Krokod realizes Linge just volunteered to be the social one, and is very glad she had that drink. With a sigh, he approaches by her side, glad Kessir remains hidden.
Krokod blinks as Kessir VANISHES "Drop on them? What if they're not ... the baddies?" But he feels like he's talking to open air.
"We push on, but if a fight starts up... folks give Linge Cover."
"Linge, you're the worst hurt, the potion is yours.. I suggest you drink it, but..." Then it comes to light who that is "Poor Dansby"
Apologies. I'm not feeling tops so I may be a bit lack luster in posting.
Great job burminatorating that icey sonofadretch Krokod! Right after getting exploded by a magical trap! Ill be telling tales of your... hotness. Kriemhild holds out a hamsized fist to Krokod He smiles at that, reassured, and gives the Fistbump of comradery. "Thanks. I'm having doubts, but that helps." ...... after he crosses, he looks over at the corpse but is glad Kriemhild approaches. When she begins to pray, he makes a little sword symbol over his chest. He doesn't follow Gorum but he tries to be respectful.
Krokod relents letting others go first, feeling a bit of a coward for how relieved he is about it. And he follows behind quieter than before. Kessir was right. He did nearly die. It has shaken him. What am I even doing here? I'm a cook with the ability to heat pans? But then he remembers burning a hole through the ice creature But I might be able to get stronger. I need to. THey'll need that.

Alright. I don't care about any of the particulars, other than the campaign is an empire building campaign. Meaning at some point we are using the ultimate campaign rules to operate, maintain, and improve a city/state/kingdom/empire. I'm even down with any/all race/class restrictions and I acquiesce to your attribute generation rules.
Is there, whether by Paizo or somebody else, a noncharacter sheet that uses variant rules, like armor as damage reduction and wounds and vigor? I've been looking, but haven't been able to find one yet. I would love to have some color printable pdfs of this. Something official looking would be awesome.
You are all in Tully's, at your usual table(big enough to fit eight dwarves), when Magmar brings out a tankard of ale for each of you, and the promise of fresh baked bread and ham-roast reaches your noses. "Roast Pig with Rosemary and Thyme, and fresh Rye Bowls for you laddies tonight." Magmar says as he looks at each of you with his one good eye, an eye patch covering what was lost in a battle with the Deep Orcs almost four score years ago.
You guys can chat in here, discuss backgrounds, flush out your pc's, OOC talks, anything you want.
This is the official recruitment thread for my Dwarves of Varisia Campaign. Character Generation rules:
1) Allowed Races:
-Dwarf 2) Allowed Classes: All Pathfinder classes 3) Dice Rolls:
4) Alignment restriction: No Evil! No LE, NE, CE, CN. 5) Hit Points and Armor:
Each class will have a Basic Defense Bonus as well as a BAB, the BDB will be 3every4,(like the cleric's BAB) for characters that have a Fighters BAB, or have good Reflex Bonus(such as the rogue). The BDB will be 1every1(Like Fighter's BAB) for any class that has both Best BAB and good Reflex. All other class will recieve a 1every2 BDB(Like the wizard's BAB) 6) Allowing up to 2 traits(Feats granting more are allowed as well, but you obviously have to use your feat slot for it) I am also allowing Called Shot and PieceMeal Armor from Ultimate Combat. All magic, whether from Arcane or Divine Spells, (Sp), spell like abilities, Domain powers, (Su); they all get their Damage dealt/healed die code downsized by one. So magic missile is now a 1d3+1, Fireball is 1d4, Lay On Hands and Channel Energy are also 1d4. This helps to even out the whole Magic bypassing Armor's Damage Reduction thing. All Paizo products are allowed, others are with my permission, but try really hard to keep it to Paizo products. I prefer a party of at least 4-6, but as many as 8 might be allowed. Those who have participated prior to the opening of this thread will get preferential treatment in the selection, and the rest of ye will just have to apply below.
So, I enjoy Pathfinder. I enjoyed 3.5. But I would also like an AD&D rules lite feeling version. Basically, you have the core classes, but without all of these special abilities. Warrior, priest, rogue, and mage. I was told paizo makes something called swords and sorcerers or something like that. If there isn't, and no plans for such in the future, would Paizo be interested in allowing myself to submit an application to develop such a thing so Paizo can publish it?
Ok. I see there is a serious need for DMs on here, so i will oblige. But i will have hat isome homebrew rules that I will be applying. This will be looking for interest and getting an idea on wherewhat you want to game. I usually do homebrew, but I have some modules and all APs after jade regent, plus rise of the runelords anniversary edition.
Soooo. First, I must apologize to those who were following my Aceraks rise campaign. I started dating a girl, and my finances also stopped allowing me to continue with that game, and the fact that English was a second language for three of my six players, it ended. The German and the Aussie are heading up the group, which has multiple campaigns going on now. I am almost married, and am putting together in Golarion setting, a Band of Brothers, Zombie Apocalypse Campaign. But I could use some assistance in designing. I am already putting together a draft letter/packet to hand the players, which will imclude house rules and campaign background. They will be starting in bootcamp, as draftees into the Andoran Military. Then I will be shipping them up to the northern border, I think. I am thinking a death cult from ustalav has managed to sneak necromancers to raise zombie armies, and thus overthrow Lastwall. And my phone needs charging, so I will post again when I can.
I'm starting up a Pathfinder game myself, with a brand new party. I've only met 2 of the players once before, and of the others I have interested, I have never met, but two of them have RSVP'd for the PC gen session. But I too am planning on throwing ToH into the campaign, we'll see how a level 1 party handles the Tomb. But I'm going at it from a different angle. My world is the 3.5 Greyhawk World had a group of adventurers become new Demigods and Deities, and this caused a massive "God's War". this God's War lasted for an unknown amount of time, anywhere from a couple of centuries, to a millennium. It ended with the death of all the 3.5 books God's, Minus Moradin, who had played a more defensive role than the others. And Vecna's hand and eye are somewhere. So The God's War ended with a massive transformation of the world(think Dragon Lance, or the Noah's Flood in level of change), known as the cataclysm. So there won't be anything really in the ToH, but it should scare the players a lot, and make them question my sanity, as they should. But the story is going to surround Acererak's Vestige, as he tries to take over a villain. This will allow me to have Acererak running around free, trying to cause Evil to rise to power throughout the world. Or I may toss Acererak onto a PC, it depends on what characters are made. I have a Cleric of Roe(NG), and an Elven Boomerang Ranger so far. Haven't heard from the others what they plan on making. I'll post a seperate thread, maybe, and post a link here if anyone wants to read about it. We'll see.
this Campaign will be taking place roughly 1000AC. |
