Can anyone cast Summon DM?

(it's like Dungeon Master in the old cartoon!! LOL)

Quick someone quote "Eric the Cavalier"

(If I owned this module I'd prolly pick it up, even though I barely have time to play right now, much less run the 3 games I'm running...heh...mostly cuz I have no live group currently since my extra work is mostly done on the weekends.)

This is my bard for a PbP...

Not, he's taken wand rifle, and his UMD is quite high, He has a couple wands that make him fun, and he rides a jackal (read riding dog)

I'm here...Dahn...where is ye?

Pae loads a wand of enfeeblement and a wand of scorching ray in his Wand Rifle. and then holds a wand of charm person in his off-hand....while covering the herbalist...;) [/i]

"Sounds like a really good distraction to me..."

"Oh, yeah" whispers Pae as he scuttles off after Andrea....

"I'm worried that Jon is taking this too serious...do you think he's actually an agent of the Baron sent to capture us?" Pae's mind is running overtime with the intrigues of Sothis and conspiracies.

Pae uses the distraction to have a good look around the battlements, he's not sure if Jon is to be trusted anymore...he seems to be taking this post too seriously.

Pae curses under his breath, "Accursed jackals! Rovagug himself must be on these foul creatures side." He drops his hand crossbow, and draws his rapier, watiing for one of the panicked 'wumps to come close enough to put down.

MECHANICS:

Dahn?

"excellent, lets investigate..."

Pae says as he grabs his wand rifle.

They're soldiers and I am their commander. Of course they're my men. The enemy is up in the castle.

Hah, but they're not really "your" men, they're the enemy...

Jon's got a busy hour. Back at the Dead Well inn, he takes a room to store his gear. He checks in with the others briefly to let them know what he's up to in the next hour.

He checks his horse. If it's in good shape he tips the stablehand a silver. If not, he gives the stablehand a right dressing down. Then he takes the horse and mule up to the castle for stabling. Hopefully he gets to lead the beasts inside himself and can get a look inside the courtyard. If possible, he'll also want to meet the stablehands, evaluate them, and give them the stick and carrot talk about caring for his horse. He will not try to wander around the castle like he's lost, just get a look inside.

Jon considers switching to plate, but decides to stay with the chain.

On the battlements: team huddle before meeting the sergeant and troops

Can Andy or Pae work a sending to General Dakoyva? Let him know we need 2 or 3 days to get to the baron?

John suggests using Andy and Pae as "couriers" between Rose, Gak and himself. That way they could sneak away without drawing attention and scout the dog pound/tunnel entrance maybe?

Does anyone have any ideas?

DM Dahn, looking at the Andoran camp, how many troops are out there?

***

I'm confused am I with the rest on the walls or am I chekcing out the tunnel again?

"Bah, flies are easy to keep away, so are scorpions, and the ranks of the undead have been there for eons..." quips Paellat. "It's the riches, the danger of entering a tomb, the curses and the riches, oh I said that already...but if you've ever been to a Sothis auction house, you'd understand, it really is the riches!"

Yeah, great draw attention to us even more...sorry but this plan es no bueno...we are trying to sneak in and eliminate the Baron correct? Gonna suck if we repel our employers...

"Some adventure this is, where are the ruins, the curses the intrigue? I miss Osirion"

ditto.

Glad to be back...hope we keep the chemistry.

Was it the Conqueror's Blade where Pae was? If so can I hear what's happening with Andrea?

I have 2 Paellat's, 1 is this one, the bard, the other is a rogue. I never overwrote this one since I really like him!

Paellat looks around for a minute and says. "Whoa, deja vu, was that a black cat? twice?"

Oh, are we returning?

and welcome BACK!!!

WOOHOO!!!

I created a second Paellat, but he's just not as cool as this one...that one's a rogue...this is the original!

Paellat begins to understand the way these bushes and cacti are arranged and easily moves through them now

1d20+10=24, 1d20+10=24

understanding their construction, allows him to begin moving stealthily again...

1d20+13=24

Drat I appear to have missed this game since my internet was down this weekend at home...I even have the PERFECT character for this adventure!! This one!

No open spots I assume?

Indeed, it is a bummer, I was really having fun with Pae. I'm gonna re-use him in an LoF game later tho.

I just Saw Dahn's message on his darker darkness thread, he's done for now, too much personal stuff going on for him.

Dahn, I have no problem with a break (I know who my character is, I can pick up his role-play easily) , we can pick up when you're ready as far as I'm concerened! Was great fun, and you taught me some good lessons for PbP DMing. Thanks.

"Pae wakes from a nightmare"

Dahn

Pae heads back to the inn, (He looks around the town on the way back looking for more yellow ribbons) he gets Ka, gets some food for the two of them...then heads up to bed to wait for news from the other half of the group.

"Thank you Shenk, I hope I didn't waste your time..."

As I depart I'll go around the kennel and try ot figure out if "Daisy's" doghouse might be the entrance..extrapolating the distance between the room he was in and the location of Daisy's doghouse

"Impressive animal, what's his name? Regardless, I'll have to think on it, as I'm a little low on funds since I'll have to wait out the seige to get another guard contract outta here."

Shenk's Dog Yard;

"Well, I've got a few tough brutes here that I could let go for twenty five gold pieces each. Please don't take this the wrong way, sir, but I've got a couple dogs that are a comfortable and steady mount for someone such as yourself. They're a bit more costly, but they're a might bit brighter than the others. It takes a sharp one to teach 'em the kind of tricks necessary to ride in battle. I've got a deal worked out with Terron too, and I can offer you a fair price for a saddle. A ridin' dog and a saddle for a cool one-fifty?"

No, Pae may not know who 'Bumbo' is, but it doesn't stop him from asking Shenk about him.

"I would not need a riding animal... I have Ka, my jackal from the deserts of Osirion."

"Now how well would these animals behave with my current animal?"

"I was interested in a guard dog perhaps, one trained in battle, to keep an attacker....distracted...while I perform, How much might one of those animals be?"

I know the info about Bumbo OOC from the other players interaction with him...but IC I don't think I had a chance to get that information about Bumbo.

Bows lows "Pae, at your service, tomb-explorer, society member, and indeed I have an exotic riding dog from Sothis."

Continues to look around the kennel looking for the entrance into the Castle tunnels, most likely nearest the walls, any "unused" kennel that appear to have not had an animal in them recently?

Shenk's dog yard;

The boy attends to Ka as well as he can, though he is visibly shaken by the idea of handling such a strange animal.

Heading back to the dogyard alone, the dogs stir up a bit of a noise anyway, and the man you assume is Shenk sticks his head out of the lone shack on the property. He yells at the mastiffs, and that's all that's needed to calm them down. "Sorry about that. That big one's just had a litter, and she's being a little strange. Over-protective ya see. Can I help you?" Tweiford is a wiry man with a heavy lantern jaw and dark, close-cropped hair.

You ninja'd me. I'm having connection problems with Paizo. Pressing refresh a thousand times probably isn't helping matters..

Been having slow connections and drops as well Dahn, so it's not just you

Heh...Baron's Personal guard...

Anything with the kennels for me?

Dahn, I've got 3 players making characters for that Dhakhanni game, you gonna make a blue?

Head to the stables of the tavern.

"Come on Ka, let's get you some a nice place to sleep while they're out and about"

"Boy!"Pae shouts..."I need to stable my mount!"

after he arrives...

"feed him one of those bear steaks every day and there will be an extra gold in it for you"

I then return to the inn to arrange payment for the stabling

Thank you again my good man...

I then head to the kennels

"Hullo...Kennelmaster...I wish to check you stock!"

hopefully he'll show me around the kennels and I can look for the passage while I'm there....

/agree on the NPCs, I'll have to do that as well if I run a PbP, like the Dhakhanni one I'm thinking of

Roll-call: who's back from vacation stuff? So we can get this rolling again

"Very well...let's go then, time's not stopping"

"My line of reasoning was that if we announce ourselves at the gate, it may arouse suspicion, usually if you're going to eliminate a threat, you dont announce yourself, Guligak might as well just challenge him to one on one combat...In fact I'm surprised he hasn't tried..."

"This is a bad idea, I'm fully capable of "soldiering", but this is not the way to remove a threat by walking up to the hornet's nest and smashing it hoping to get to the queen..."

"Ah, I see that the finepoints of sarcasm are lost on you...why kill the dogs when we can make them sleep, they are not exactly worthy opponents, and by killing them, we would alert others to our presense."

"Excellent idea Guli, shall we kill the dog handler as well?, leave a trail of death in our sneaking..."

Unfortunately I didn't choose a wand of sleep...I had thought about it, but I took color spray instead LoL...Although for some reason I chose Identify, which is not really necessary when I have appraise and detect magic...so if I could swap that spell out...

I'm built for UMD, I have a +14, add an additional +2 for something I'm activating a second time...I was thinking lullaby/sleep versus the dogs personally.

I disagree, I feel stealth and subterfuge might be a better idea.

Spins his wand rifle I think that might be possible...I'll have to leave Ka at the tavent tho, or the stable perhaps...have the stable boys feed him some nice bear steaks.

Pae carefully looks around for any snoopsPERCEPTION ROLL +2 if sound based

quietly, if it appears safe "yes, I saw a survey map showing a straight tunnel into the castle, now if you say that there are possible undead that the Baron is amassing, then logic dictates that they would be in the castle's dungeons, so we'll need to be prepared, Also I would say time is of the essense, we should enter tonight, we'll need to silence the dogs, as the entrance is somewhere on the dog handler's grounds...hopefully Bumbo won't be a problem."

"Very well good sir, I thank you for your time, may the Djinn favor you in all you wishes"

moves to the group of friends

"Dreyxor, he's the mine baron effectively."

"More importantly, I found the the location underaccess that the our friend the smith told us of. What have you found out?"

Almir Estate;

"Ah, my time, my studies, and my notes are things of worth and value to me. And so is a good story. From what I can tell about you in this short amount of time, I would say that you are accustomed to rushing headlong into adventure. I have a feeling you're going to find those ruins, even if they don't exist yet." Dreyxor says, somewhat cryptically. "So, as payment, I'll take a Pathfinder's promise that you'll return and tell me of your exploits sometime. Perhaps when we are not currently under siege. I would advise you to lay low in Piren's Bluff until this blows over or blows up; make your exit as quickly as you can."

While he won't give you a copy of the surveys, you have more than enough information to start looking for an entrance, if you indeed want to go in that way.

"Your collection is indeed impressive, might I call upon you at a later date to peruse it for any obscure information?, with compensation of course."

"If there are no actual ruins on these charts and surveys then they truly are of no use to the Society, tho I see the quality of the surveys is quite complete."

pulls out his coin purse

"Now what do you feel is fair compensation for your time today sir?"

"So no actual ruins below the city, so unfortunate." Inside Paellat is beaming with joy as he has discovered the information he was searching for"What of ruins outside the walls? Have you located anything the society might be interested in, in this area?"peers over the map, trying to get a good view of the tunnel, and whether it's straight to the keep or not

seems you were right about Shenks

"I'd be most interested in any ruins that lie below this town for now, I obviously can't have free leave to depart the city on a fact-finding expedition, so the ruins below the city if any will have to do."

"what more can you tell me about the pre-history of Piren's Bluff? Why was this manor built, by who, and when?"

draws a drag from his pipe and blows smoke into a large ring, then puffs a couple smaller rings through it.

"As for payment, are you looking for monetary compensation or a favor?"
