Apparently I didn't mention this in all my games, but last week I was gone for work and didn't have internet access. Just wanted to apologize for dropping the ball on that one. I'm back now though and getting caught up.
Though from the looks of things I'm still taking things easy and getting carted along by the others :P
In a pinch they can just use you as emergency rations. I'm sure Mugwort has a few good recipes.

@Tark, I think you didn't specifically mention to my character where the meeting point was, but from what I reckon from the open posts, it's at a bridge where there are cherry trees blossoming. I shall go from the assumption that Masamune mentioned that in response to my last question, as not to slow down the game.
Ironically I'm watching 47 Ronin right now.
Been held up. Will post approach to bridge later today...
Blah blah blah...
Blah blah blah... blah blah blah blah blah...
Thank you for the praise. I would like to thank my father for passing down his strength, my mother for my intellect, my wife for restraining me when I need it, a demon thing with many arms for a keen longsword and Trevor for auto confirming critical threats. Thank you, thank you.
Tal bows before the adoring audience.
If there are seven swordsmen, and I'm with two of them, that means we're missing one still?
Just let me know when I can post my arrival at the bridge. (Or perhaps the GM can start it off since we are likely traveling as a group.)
Ima see who we are missing.
LEt's see
MAsamune, Orochi (NPC's)
Daren
Hisui
Shogure
Tahei
Just missing skales it seems
If you still need someone I can get something going
Same here, Liu is available.
I'll pm skales.
Been feelign awfully wretched all day.
So I do what I always do when I'm too sick to think. I read comics (last time I eventually checked into the emergency room for my diabetes I read through all of Lucifer).
Forever Evil is a lot of fun.
Wait, were we supposed to get two traits for free? It looks to me like some characters got them and others didn't.
Being a premade character, Daren spent a feat for his two traits. I'm wondering if I should just make them his normal traits and refund him a feat.
I did not specify traits figuring that I would go with none. But seeing as it's apparently been ignored (and missed by me) just go ahead and get two if you already didn't.
In that case, I'm going to remove my Additional Traits feat, keep the two traits it was giving me, and add Deflect Arrows to my character sheet.
So our groups divine caster ended up quitting in our way of the wicked game.
We have a ranger/fighter who hits like a friggin truck loaded with dynamite. A Gav working on his apotheosis to bone devil. Baron Harkonnen fusion danced with Hannibal Lecter. And myself, a handsome, intelligent, cultured swordsman and master of the summoning arts. Women want me, men want me, and I measure about 4 inches....wide.

I could play. Make the time to get my evil on(again). This is Tin Jasha, Cleric, formerly of a WotW campaign that the DM had to withdraw from and had a high player attrition to boot. Perhaps her resume might prove interesting.
Tin is a bubbly Stepford woman who delivers negative channels with a smile and occasionally a chaste kiss.
I'm sure my overall accounting is off, with players coming/going and the loot division.
I upgraded to a +1 sword on Bejis (spending 2k gp from the MW Greatsword).
blech, its almost 2am.
Spent all day being bored to tears at the wife's relatives house only to come home, put the baby to bed, and then help the wife panic clean the house because guests are coming tomorrow at noon. :(
I would be interested in a WoTW game but I am rather tired of being the divine caster since I play two already.
Re: Reach weapons. USing reach weapons defensively is a perfectly viable tactic if you play more passively and inch forward slowly rather than immediately attack and give them a chance to 5ft shift in. Even better if you have a guy like dog smashing people who enter those adjacent squares. Sadly Noonan jumped forward and ate arrows and those initial bad rolls really messed you guys up. Looks like the ladies really need to step in and put these guys down. The preacher with a gun hasn't even attacked yet.
Since Connell already has a character up and going I'l go ahead and let him in the 7 swordsmen.
The group is currently on the road towards the village so you will have to come up with your own way of encountering the party on the road.
thanks - will write up something after work tonight
Great post Liu Quon. A most interesting read indeed!
thanks - a lot of quality stuff in that thread, had to bring my A game!

Dealing with soem rather nasty personal issues right now so updates may be sporadic. Would have said earlier but I'm only now at a point where I can do things with coherence.
I generally find Inheritance power can work wonders with Personnel problems. Things have become more difficult since the Marsh test but where there's a will ... Oh wait ... personal issues... never mind.
Joking aside, I hope things get better.

Going to try and stagger into some updates over the next couple of days.
*lifts wrist of harpies game*
Anddd calling it. Not a single post in nearly a month.
Yay! More DM for the rest of us. :P
[Sad face] It seemed difficult near the last, almost like holding conversations with myself. Still I can't argue with the end result. Any advice on how to properly recycle a drunk Halfling? Eh the next build will be better optimized, this one was a bit of an experiment.
It seems like we lost half of the group at one point. Never really got to the point where Rhialla got to be all that effective but it was fun while it lasted.
Considering most were infected, almost dead or both, I doubt that you would be able to finish off Plugg and Scourge.
Yes. Yes we were. Ghoul fever, now in halfling size.
Go for the jimmies, Lorn.
The botfly swarm was an absolute cruelty. But only one persona actually got ghoul fever. The rough part in all this is that the AP expects you to explore the island, rescue crewmates, and then deal with plugg and scourge within the 36 hour time limit.
Having played through the first book twice now I agree. I really don't know how a group of 4 average pt buy characters if suppose to actually succeed at the task. The botfly swarm is one of the worst encounters and almost a TPK in and of itself. There are not many characters who can use AOE spells to damage the swarm and few resources if any available in the form of alchemist fires.
And then in Richard Pett fashion there are ghouls. Ghouls everywhere.
Undead themed S&S? Could work.
No. We did that. Avoid avoid avoid.

Our group hid in the spring, using reed pipes to breath, until the swarm moved on. We only lost one crew member to it.
Welp. It's good to see the alkenstar group is finding god.
Tin man wrote "Pollux, do whatever it is you do to him to keep him occupied.
Occupied smoccupied, get him within 30' and he will cease to be interesting.
Note monkey needs a wand of mount.
It might take a bit to get him over here. Will try to grapple and drag him over. Of course if I do get a grapple on him things will already be bad for him.
I think we might be seeing that rod of reach pay for itself soon.
The damage you did to the cage may have done the trick but if not remember that while embigginated you get a +4 on the strength check to break things.
[b]{NOTE: running the numbers for my own amusement. Read on at your own risk}
mmmm bending iron bars is normally dc 24 however you inflicted 15hp with your attack that might.... nope assuming 1" thick bars gives hardness 10 15hp. You would need to do the same damage to give the bar the Broken condition and drop the break DC. So DC24 to bend: str +4, size +4, assuming aid from Cal and Mr. Shiney +4 totals +12. That means 2 tries/round to roll a 12 or better. Assuming our local Lemure fondler does not intervene. Hmmm not the best and not the worst.... Wonder what the others will do.
Excellent idea Pollux. Do I have to stay withing 30ft to benefit from it or does it have a longer range?
