Sorry - I was a bit out of it yesterday...

That's okay. I spend most of my best days shambling around looking for delicious brainz to munch on.

mmmm ... brainz ...

hey, so when do we get to know what exactly we got?
who do i gotta punch around here to get some answers : )

Hehe! Each of the items I'm going to have to type up - I'll get them for sure this weekend.

That being said... CONGRATULATIONS! You have completed 'The Brinewall Legacy'! There are still plenty of loose ends to clean up between the castle and caravan, so we can resolve those as you desire, but otherwise the main part of the adventure is done. When you're all ready to move on, I'll start the next thread for Chapter 2 - 'The Night of Frozen Shadows'!

Right on! Congratulations, NomadSage. I'm not sure many PbPs actually even complete the first book of an AP. Good job all!

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!! *Waves hands in the air like a Muppet*

That said...loose ends anyone wants to explore? In the interests of trying to organize things, I'll just make a list of things I remember/can think of. Just please note that it's intended to be unbiased - I'm not necessarily in favor of or against any of them, but I do have my preferences:

1) Zaiobe's still floating around.
2) As is Buttersnips.
3) There was something in the church graveyard.
4) Ameiko and Koya may still want to actually see Brinewall castle or the church. Assuming the area isn't an Oni nest by dawn.
5) Caravan Upgrades
6) Gift/insult planning for level 3. We haven't really had much chance to interact with the important NPCs.

Anything anyone wants to add, or any preferences?

Thoughts:

1. Harlan will go to get her
2. She can rot in hell
3. Didn't hurt, let's make tracks
4. See 4
5. Soon as we level
6. It'll always be Sandru for me, though I need to find him a good gift.

Also, yay, we made it to Book 2.

1) parity will go to protect Harlan ... Just in case
2) snicker
3) I'd be interested in knowing what that it is given all the evil here. Fills paritys need to see the balance in everything
4) I think lingering is bad and I think we need to see what Ame wants to do but they're gonna Chase her forever. Recommend pushing for Minkai
5) Yup
6) Yup
7).is there a city anywhere beyond us or are we pretty much on the edge of civilization?

Whatever happened to Kelda?

1)isn't Harpies contagious? just warn her and go.

2)Buttersnips- good riddance. as for the bodies- what bout dropping them by the cemetary on the way out? THat way we can check out the graveyard again.

3)see #2

4)I think they would like a quick look if possible.

5&6) probably need to wait until we hit a town.

Flex-time is still active on the game thread, so if you want to run some of these things down, feel free to initiate. I won't start the next thread for a bit yet - at least until you get back to the caravan.

Dang post eating monsters....

1. Never trust a harpy...I'm just saying.
2. Mal will help Heng with the bodies, taking the to the cemetary is a good way to give it our full attention for a bit.
3. Yup.
4. We can be tour guides if we need to, but I am not wearing a funny hat.
5. Not sure what to give Shalelu since I think we sold all of the goblin ears.
6. Up to you guys.

Right. Since it looks like everyone else has weighed in...

1) Honestly, if she's even still around by now it's probably best not to tempt fate.

2) Same. Plus Maeve still feels bad. Yes, I question her sanity too sometimes.

3) In this case....well, whoever or whatever it is probably deserves a warning, considering we have to go right by there.

4) Maeve: "I'll wear a funny hat!"

5/6) I have an idea, but like Heng said, actually getting to it will probably have to wait until we start the caravan trek and flex-time for that.

Aaand... the Nice Loot!

You also understand these items have legacy powers locked within, which will become available as you advance your destiny.

Quick question while I play around with trying to add this to Herolab - is Maeve's a "body" slot item, "Armor" slot, or "Slotless?"

Woot for loot!

Body - like a robe...

very cool. suits Heng well : )

Very nice!

loose ends- since i'm keeping track of party loot...

what was the final tally on Buttersnips protection money and what was in the chest we found under the priest's bed under the shrine?

My posting will be a little off/on starting tomorrow afternoon, I'm going in for elective eye surgery and while I'm sure the painkillers will have me feeling smurfy I won't be allowed to strain my eyes for a few days.

Smurftastic! Good luck!

Maeve loses her pin, but you gain 220 gp of jewelery in return.

The small locker holds four +2 evil outsider bane arrows, a phylactery of faithfulness, and scrolls of cure moderate wounds, remove disease, and restoration.

Graveyard

Heng stands still watching the creature closely and mindful of his recent encounter with Buttersnips although this creature has a far less frantic and brash demeanor. He simply asks, "What are you?"

"I'm Batman."

...it just occurred to me that people are posting in multiple places when the impression I was kind of under was that the group split. Is that the case, or should I do posts for the other areas?

I think you are right , I just got carried away with the flex time from before.

Actually, I assumed flex-time was still ongoing, so if you want to "be everywhere at once", that's fine by me. Temporal distortion is in effect! ;o)

If there's anything else you want to wrap up in Brinewall, feel free to play it out in the game thread. Otherwise, I'm going to plan on starting Ch II hopefully this weekend. I'll post the link once the new thread is active!

EDIT: OH! And for completing the first chapter, you all have enough experience for 4th level! Huzzah!

BAM! 4th level misty eyed monk

hp 1d5 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

*Bites lip* Decisions decisions. Monk (Martial Artist) or another bard level. The former upgrades unarmed strikes into something useful, gives Flurry, but means I'm stuck with the wands of mage armor for the rest of my career (or until I find bracers of armor that someone else doesn't like or want.) The other upgrades Bardic Knowledge and gets second level spells....probably gonna need a few hours to think it over.

EDIT: Also, Maeve won't touch that 220 GP. And may punch anyone suggesting she take a share. Just saying.

EDIT EDIT: And because I just realized the choice doesn't really affect HP either way: 1d5 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

+1 Level Vanguard ... woot

HP:1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Ability Score: +1 Strength

+1 BAB
+1 Fort Save
+1 Will Save

Bonus Feat: Cleave

2nd Level Spells Known: Belker's Claws & Chain of Eyes
(will change if research in city required)

Skills: (3)
Perception +1
Intimidate +1
Swim +1

Heng's not interested in the shakedown $$ either.

arrows to Malnival?
Scrolls to Harlan?

phylactery anyone? Could be a gift for Koya- Heng could use it for that if no one is particularly interested.

If anyone else is interested in building their relationship with her, you could use it as well. I think she will be the focus of all Heng's relationship building as he ain't much of an extrovert.

Shakedown ... sigh, you guys were 3 seconds from cutting her in two, and I'm the bad guy for taking what's freely offered. Ah! the intricacies of morality :)

I started a new thread for the 2nd chapter, but its kinda gooned up right now. Hopefully the mods can get it linked to the campaign page soon. Here it is, though: LINK

I'll try to get my sheet (both versions) updated and synced by tomorrow morning.

You know, silly question: Does the extra attack from Haste/speed type effects stack with the extra attack from TWF/Flurry. My basic assumption would be 'yes' making the first attacks from primary/off-hand weapons go at -2/-2/-2 from BAB but I'm not really sure.

HP" 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Yeah, based on what I can find on the boards, the current interpretation is that flurry and haste can stack.

Maeve- Does that mean we're going all Double Dragon?

Well, eventually. One of my first 2nd-level Bard spells is going to be Allegro which is a self-haste that requires an active Performance. Something I need to think about.

Okay, sheets updated (including an intent to sell off that MW Studded leather at the next village.)

Apologies for the lack of posting lately. I'll be updated tonight (hopefully before my sushi making class).

Quick question while I play around with trying to add this to Herolab - is Maeve's a "body" slot item, "Armor" slot, or "Slotless?"

I've been thinking about picking up HeroLab ... I assume there's no SuperGenius (i.e. Vanguard) pre-built but does it allow you to make your own custom class?

Any other thoughts on it's worth? Or alternatives if there's something better?

I use it and like it. You can build your own classes, if you're lucky someone has done it for you, as it can be a lot of work. It's powerful with good forums but if you buy every packages (not really needed) it can add up quick.

Sheet updated. I will want to try to gift Shalelu with a Bow +2 Str we found.

Herolab is definitely worth the money, and there might be add-on files for Supergenius from third parties. While it's possible to add custom classes, it's something of a pain and I wouldn't recommend it if you're just going to use it for the one game.

Looks like Tim Shadow made a couple of them already, he may be able to help with the Vanguard class. Also Herolab is free to download and preview, you just can't save or print.

Hero Lab Repository

Yeah, I decided to pick it up. Will help immensely with the game I'm running as well.

I saw Tim Shadow's stuff ... may be able to work something out. Seems like you need to be part computer scientist to build some of the stuff. :)

Additionally, I know playing the "not good" dude can be a bit of a pain in the ass for everyone else, so if it's goes beyond the fun roleplaying conflict bit and starts to interfere with player enjoyment, please let me know. Not my goal at all, I just wanted to try something challenging.

You have no idea how many posts I write and then delete, thinking that maybe I'm pushing it too far.

I just see Parity as struggling with his own lot in life and trying to make sense of it in the bigger world, combined with a lack of education, a chip on his shoulder, and an immature development in empathy (not a lack). However, he's a powerful personality so some times things come out a bit discordant, yeah? If it's off mark, please holla.

Cheers!

:)
