I think it helps keep the moralizing to a minimum if you look at succubi as less sexuality demons and more as seduction demons. The angels/celestials are presented as sex-neutral. Succubi are built for seduction so by definition they can't be sex-neutral. Obviously someone is sleeping with angels or else there'd be no aasimar. They just aren't seducing people because, well, that's evil.
AYUP
I spent my weekend working on a project with these gals and got sick along the way, so I apologize for being a slowpoke!
It's fine. I've been working on my own game design stuff so I've been busy too.
Awesome!I like their sound.
About to start work on a pitch for something 3rd party myself so get it.
The website outages were pretty bad!
Please bot me if i am holding things up. Currently in vegas and on tablet. Not always going to be able to post.
Sorry i've been holding things up. Just got back from vegas with my fiancee, and getting myself sorted, and un jet lagged. I will post something tomorrow.
No prob, our pace is usually pretty casual anyway, thanks for checking in!
I will be camping this weekend and probably won't have internet. Monday we get the exciting heat of battle!
I have something special for him.
Does the Kusarigama require exotic weapon proficiency?
Yeah... it's a ninja/monk weapon. :)
Thing's magical as hell, though. Might be worth taking.
I also have improved trip and was intending on getting a sickle, sickle this is in one way close to.
The kusarigama is an exotic weapon, but druids don't have any restrictions about what weapons they can use if they want to go the extra mile to learn the proficiency. You could spend a feat on exotic weapon proficiency and learn to use it.
For now it's a pretty good weapon but of course later in the adventure you will likely want stuff with special materials and different bonuses.
FYI, telepathy would normally detect as magical, but in this case it's an Ex ability, so, yeah. (It's weird.)
At work the next couple of days. I cannot access the map from here, so I will have to estimate, and go off of the descriptions.
Sorry. Our presence on the forums has faded a lot. Kaede's a toddler now and I spend enough energy on her I cant get up the will to do a lot of pbp games anymore.

Raising a young one is a lot of work! If you need a break I can run Kenji & Viv through the last of the castle and we can figure out what to do for book 2 afterward.
As a guy who works almost exclusively with Japanese toddlers you have my sympathies.
Heh, yeah the toddler years are extremely energy depleting.
Id appreciate it. I still want to continue.

I'm on the road every day this weekend, and I'm currently having trouble with my laptop, so I'm using my iPad, which means I can't access maps or read the module. Update Monday.
Okay. Enjoy
These board outages are the worst. I'm losing posts left and right.
I know it really sucks!
Any idea on what is causing it ?
According to a thread over on another part of the boards, Paizo is having some kind of routing difficulties, and also they're trying to rebuild their backend to deploy a new website update. So it might go on for a while. :/
Gm, just to be clear, unless I state I am actively looking, (rolling), you can assume that i will be paying basic attention to my surroundings. (taking 10)
This will be for all my perception checks in the future, and i will state when I am taking more time to search or look around.
I know that this will not always get things, but that is the risk of doing routine things.
Yep, your character is not an idiot, you will notice mundane things. :)
just figured to clarify, so i may not be rolling perception all the time, and just taking 10
We may want to look into recruiting once we're done with the castle. Always better to have too many characters if others come back, than too few.
I will not be avail for a couple of days as of monday.
please bot me as needed.
Sorry to keep everyone hanging for almost a week there - I wound up sick with a 100.6 fever and kinda lost track of some of my games. :/
Ugh..sorry. Hope you're feeling better.
Oh man, that sux.
Well, I just got back, so I will need a day to get sorted, then I should be good to go.
Oh I grabbed the dagger because I literally don't have a melee weapon and if there's any more fog-type situations I want to be able to sneak attack. If someone else wants it I'll just pick one up in the next town we visit.

You did it! Book 1 is complete!
Everyone can advance to level 4!
The gear that you found, as Morgrym identified, includes a handy haversack, a +2 wisdom headband, and a pair of boots of elvenkind that look like ninja gear. You will eventually identify all of the potions (Lyraesel, Koya, and Deborah can all help), and discover a total of 2 potions of cure light wounds, 5 endure elements, and 3 shield of faith, all caster level 1.
I'm going to move Kenji and Viv to inactive and we can start the process of bringing in two new recruits. If you have people to recommend, by all means let us know (but don't invite them over here until we've had a chance to decide who we want!).
Caravan travel log updated with an abbreviated description of events at Brinewall village.
And much Rejoicing to be had.
DM, you missed the starknife, which I was unable to ID from an earlier room.
Plus the ring, shield and pearl that were also from the earlier room.
I will update myself as the Arsenault Chaplain Warpriest, as discussed via PM.
Yay! Will get leveled shortly. If we think of anyone, should we have them PM you or direct them to the Recruitment thread?
I'm thinking we probably need Primary Melee and Arcane caster the most.
I agree, a melee and an arcane or psychic caster is probably for the best. Remember that I'm a little flexible in regards to character types, so someone could play a samurai, a gunslinger, an occult class, a centaur (with some reductions to the stat bonuses), a fae-touched, or something odd like that. But a human fighter with a connection to someone in the group would also work just fine!
Our remaining connections are Lyraesel->Shalelu, Bernard->Koya, and Morgrym->Sandru. A connection to Ameiko would be nice.
Have your potential recruits drop in to the Recruitment thread for now and we'll do a mini-recruitment round to pick two people. If you guys just have two people in mind it will be very short. :)
Morgrym, the other stuff eventually identifies as a +1 returning starknife, a pearl of power (1st level), and (I thought this was already posted - in fact I am almost certain of it) a +1 light fortification light steel shield and a ring of the ram (10 charges).
Oh, and don't forget to tell your friends that we are a casual-speed game averaging updates every 2-3 days. Some people only like to play fast, brisk games.
Yes, the shield, pearl and ring were mentioned, before, but I am not sure people noticed it.
I just figured that you could include it here so that they were not overlooked.
So we're both Wisdom casters, but mine's currently higher were you looking to take the headband or the pearl Morgrym? You're probably currently the only one who can use the shield as well.
Would it be possible to retrain a feat?
5 days at 30 gp per day, and you need someone who has the feat that you want. If nobody in the caravan does, you'll need to do it in the next town or city, but since our next step is to get the caravan to a town and pick up your new party members, that's really a non-issue.
The shield is, frankly, kinda a piece of pricey junk and you may just want to liquidate it. Light shields are not worth the arm they take up compared to heavy shields, and if Morgrym decides to use an urgrosh a lot that's usually used as a two-handed weapon. Since it has a property on it, it has a high cash value, and may be worth more for you to just sell it and get a regular +1 heavy darkwood shield for someone, or maybe some magic armor.
Makes sense. I realize I haven't made use of the Spell Focus (Conjuration) at all, and at lvel 5 I'll be able to summon anything canine as a standard action rather than full round, with my level in bonus HP.
Given that, I'd want to pick up the exotic weapon Proficiency with the Kusarigama. It's pretty perfect (trips, which is part of my fighting style, and the sickle end is like a wolf fang)
Problem is the liklihood of finding someone proficient in it this side of the Spine of the world.
If you get a monk or ninja (or multiclass of those) in the party, those classes have proficiency with it. But if we get a PC monk or ninja then they might as well use the magical kusarigama, eh?
True. Trying to figure on being more effective melee wise. The dagger is thematic but crap for damage. Granted I can Wild shape now but still...
Melee druids are kinda hard, I've found, because you need to get a decent armor class and your weapon selection is limited if you don't burn feats. Kusarigamas are really cool but require both hands, so your AC is not great, though they do have reach, which is super handy.
Maybe we should see what we get from recruitment. If nobody comes in with a kusarigama-wielder, consider picking it up as an exotic weapon and focus on doing lots of tripping with it. If you decide to go all-out you could go down the Ascetic Style feat chain and at the end your weapon damage is equal to the unarmed damage of a monk of your level-4, so that could give it a better base damage. That's a ton of feats though. Probably better just to get Focus in it and then Weapon Versatility so that you can use the bludgeoning (higher-damage) end and do slashing or piercing if needed to penetrate DR.
