I can.

I'm thinking a circlet of persuasion (4,500 gp) and upgrade my cloak of resistance from +1 to +3 for 9,000 gp.

Ill definitely put in the request to you Mal, then ... taking the armor from +2 to +5 value. (21k value increase, 10.5k cost) Just need to know how long it's gonna take.


Level 12 Magus, INIT:6, AC:29, HP:90/90, F:8 R:11 W: 8, Perception 15 (18 Sight)

I am going to up grade my armor also.
Any other weapon/armor request?

I'm getting Holy on my x-bow, doubt we have the time to have you craft everything though. And that 7k is free to anybody that needs it, just let me know how much you take.

Harlan, I'll borrow 2k from you then.

NomadSage, is an unfettered shirt available?


Sure!


I'm flying back from Kuwait this weekend... will resume regular posting next week.

safe travels!


*Nudge*

I know Kiyomi is the 'face', to a certain extent, but I think its unfair to load all the interaction on one player. Plus, if they're slow to post or unable due to RL stuff, it holds things up. Even if it breaks character molds a bit, I'm asking if we can get a bit more from the rest of the crew. This part of the AP is pretty RP-heavy... it would probably make sense for Ameiko to do a lot of the talking, but I can't have a conversation with myself! =)

Thoughts?

EDIT - Heng's post appeared late, after I typed this. Seems you were ahead of me in thinking! =D

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

The riddles for reference:

I must discover
what lies inside myself
to enter your place
through dark and shadowed gates, but
the reflection is not me.

The inro is not locked, and by manipulating the segments along the guide strands, Heng easily opens the three compartments. Each contains a single, odd item: an empty silk worm cocoon in the lower compartment; two interlocking stone rings, one of yellow calcite and one of blue lapis lazuli, in the middle compartment; and three camphorwood beads on a cord ring in the upper compartment.

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

i'm still confused on where this place is; i thought it was clarified that it was attached to the mainland and didn't require a boat.

Our SOP is flying and airwalking anyway. if it is off coast, how far off is it?


|| Per +16 | Fort +10 Ref +11 Will +13 | BAB +10 | CMB +8 | CMD 23 || Init +3 Halfling Oracle of Life/14

I believe it was 70 miles to get to the island and then, island. But yeah, we could just air walk.


Confusion is completely my fault... think I made things worse by trying to clarify my original description. I guess I meant that you didn't need a boat because its not 70 miles out in the ocean. Its still an island, though.

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

I still have no idea what the riddles mean.

"Reflection isn't me" might imply that there's a decoy. Would nature know tell if camphor wood has any special significance?

Heng also has a divination through mystic vision if we rest.

Nothing significant you can think of.

Hi all,

I'm on spring break and won't be posting much this week. bot me as needed.


Are you guys familiar with Roll20? I am pondering transfering maps over to make handling combat a little easier.


AC 18, T 16, FF 12; HP 102/102; F+6, R+8, W+11; Perc +17;

Aye, big fan of Roll20.

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

yep, used in one game already and I may switch for my own games.

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

speaking of maps... was there another on the way or are we just looking at the one in the doorway left?

Love Roll 20


I didn't send another map since both enemies are dead or fled... awaiting immediate reactions tho.


Happy Friday! I'm traveling the next few days... I'll get back on track after the weekend.


I sent out invites to the Roll20 campaign... let me know if you did/did not get them. Once you're accepted, I'll give you token ownership.


Hope everyone had a great weekend! Apologize for the lack of game progress (more on that below). I'll also be on the road the next week, so my posting may be somewhat (more) sporadic.

Regarding the current encounter... it seems to be another one of those ones that seemed better in writing than in actual play. Part of my tardiness in replying is my frustration with how to resolve it. I am going to do a modified DM Hand-waive and try to get things moving again.


Time and internet are more sparse than expected... I'll resume again this weekend.

you go, Harlan!

NOTE: I'm on vacation for the next two weeks. Posting will be non-existent until July, then spotty til the 8th. DMPC as needed.

found this handy chart on the d20pfsrd:

Critical Hits

The following creature types (or subtypes) have immunity to critical hits (that is, they do not take any additional damage from critical hits):

Aeon (subtype): "Immunity to cold, poison, and critical hits."
Elemental (subtype): Elementals are "not subject to critical hits or flanking. Does not take additional damage from precision-based attacks, such as sneak attack."
Incorporeal (subtype): "An incorporeal creature is immune to critical hits (unless the attacks are made using a weapon with the ghost touch special weapon quality.)"
Ooze (Type): <Oozes are...> "not subject to critical hits or flanking. Does not take additional damage from precision-based attacks (such as sneak attack.)"
Protean (subtype): (50% chance to ignore, see below*)
Swarm (Type): "A swarm has no clear front or back and no discernible anatomy, so it is not subject to critical hits."

Incorp is the one that's hidden in a different reference. Always forget that.


Hey folks, just a head's up that I have put one of my 3 campaigns on hiatus. I've tried keeping everything going, but a combination of RL stuff and low-stage burn out have made it so that I'm neglecting *all* my campaigns. I'm going to try and focus on my 2 longer-running campaigns and hopefully get things moving at pace again. Thanks for your patience!

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

Ah, sorry to hear that. I've taken on a third again, but think two is really the only sane option. It is WORK to GM PbPs. I'm hoping to wrap up one of my campaigns in the next year and I reckon this one has another 1.5 yrs maybe? It will be pretty awesome to make it through a complete AP.

ON THAT NOTE::: Yep, one last hurrah for the summer! I'll be camping Sun- Wed and out of contact. DMPC as needed.

Liberty's Edge

Parity- is that your actual hp total?

well, that went south quickly...

run away! run away!

Parity doesn't need any of the items above, except maybe the ring of swimmin but would rather sell that, so will forego any claims

I wouldn't mind upgrading my cloak of protection.

Also wondering if it's day yet and whether there are more vampires to be slain.-


It's still late night.


Happy Halloween!

Did everyone turn into a zombie and shamble off?


Stalwart campaigners... I am going out of country this week and will be gone for about a week. Not expecting to have much internet access time, so I'm going to put the game on pause until I get back. Will resume with you heading back to Sakakabe with O-Sayumi.

I may be able to chime in with dialog type stuff, so if you want to use the downtime to chat with O-Sayumi or amongst yourselves, please do!


I'm back, will get things rolling soon.


Hello?

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

Hi all,

It's US Thanksgiving and I'll be traveling plenty this week. Posting may be spotty.


The Karyukai Tea Set

Weight 4 lbs

This tea set includes an array of utensils, painted with pictures of willows and flowers, used in traditional tea ceremonies: a small teapot, three bowls of various sizes and shapes, six cups, bamboo utensils (a ladle, a scoop, and a whisk), and several smaller containers, all stored in a wooden box.

Once per day, a user can spend 1 hour performing a tea ceremony with the tea set. At the end of this time, the user must make a Diplomacy check. The tea used in the ceremony must be green tea of exceptional quality (worth a minimum of 10 gp per dose) or the user takes a -4 penalty on her check. Up to six creatures (including the user) can drink the tea brewed during the ceremony. The tea's aroma arouses a sense of serenity in those who partake, as they receive an impression of the sights, sounds and smells of a blooming willow grove at sunset.

The result of the check determines the effect:
10 or less: no effect
11-15: The drinker gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against poison and fear effects for 12 hours
16-20: As above, and the drinker receives the benefit of neutralize poison and remove fear
21-25: As above, and the drinker receives the benefits of heroism
26 or more: As above, but the drinker receives the benefits of greater heroism instead

Note on Heng's request for better coordination-

It just feels to me that in combat we're all over the place- at least the three light fighters. A strength/weakness wwith the monk is his speed and the fact that he's a pretty soft target- ac, hp -wise. I can stay behind a round or try and stay up with others, but I'm wondering what our thoughts on combat are.

I'd recommend that it's more effective for all of us to target one enemy at a time and bring them down. I suppose with the necromancer, we had 2 very dangerous foes- nue and necro so maybe that required splitting up, but I still think it would have been better to just focus on the nue first and bring it down quick then dogpile Soshami.

What do you all think? he did get the shadows up which were more trouble, but that nue was nasty.


Level 12 Magus, INIT:6, AC:29, HP:90/90, F:8 R:11 W: 8, Perception 15 (18 Sight)

The way o looked at it wad a high level wizard with no one stopping hum would have slain us all if he had time to just keep casting spells.

Liberty's Edge

M Half-Orc Holy Mystic Monk

Yeah, but i would have been free to grapple him and REALLY take him out if the nue was out of the picture. That woul prob have taken a round if we'd focused on it. S would be exposed and I could get him.

Probably right, I wanted to pin the necromancer down where he had to defensive cast and then attack the nue, but his dimension door kinda ruined that.

The shadows were a complete surprise and nearly TPK'd us due to strength loss.

While Parity is surly, he's been around you all long enough that he's willing to coordinate a team effort.

Depending on how we enter combat, Parity can armor/defend/illusion up or transition to DPS. I wouldn't call him the tank, but he can potentially counter spells and up some things defensively and he has moderate HPs.
