Thank you! They're getting on okay right now. He'll probably like her a little better once he's recovered from his surgery and we can take his cone of shame off.
Cones of shame are super sad. Hope it comes off soon.
Laro, Javell are you guys fine with slow going?
Yeah- between Finals, traveling, and general business of life, a slow pace is great.
Slow is good might be a good time for some of Hungry are the Dead. Though parts of Revenge of the Kobold king would be good for LC tensions.
Didn't like the later modules so I'm going to be doing things differently than those. Laro.
Got a long weekend (all hail Queen Victoria) so probably won't post until Tuesday.
I think we have a plan? Just need to specify it and roll (Stealth and Survival perhaps?)
Re: Diplomacy - Albus is +0, Javell is +4, Aelerie and Laro are +5. Albus is noticeably less good at convincing people than anyone else.
Huh, I don't know why I thought you had trained Diplomacy. Must've been looking at my own sheet. So I guess any one of the three of us can negotiate with the giants, hopefully with aid another rolls from the others.
So... who's going to be negotiating? :)
Knock knock! :)
I'll do it! Sorry, had a surprise visit from my mum this morning. ...Yay.
Next post probably Monday.
So... any decision on the sleeping ogres? :)
I think Laro is planning to try to sneak in and steal the ring without waking them.
Sounds good. If there's a consensus for that then I'll just need Laro to roll stealth and perception in game and we'll see what happens.
Well I guess I should have read discussion first but Aelerie was correct and I did both before coming in here to read that.
BAB +3
FCB +1 2nd Level Spell to Spellbook
Base Saves +2 Fort, +2 Reflex, +5 Will
Skills +1 to Diplomacy, Knowledge (Arcana), Knowledge (Engineering), Knowledge (Geography), Knowledge (Local), Knowledge (Planes), Perception, Spellcraft, Use Magic Device
Background Skills +1 to Handle Animal, Linguistics (Giant)
Automatic Bonus Progression Mental Prowess +2 (Intelligence)
Retroactive Skills +1 Knowledge (Dungeoneering), Knowledge (Nature), Knowledge (Nobility), Linguistics (Celestial), Perception
New Spells
- 3rd—haste, lightning bolt
2nd—scorching ray
You are *fast* Aelerie. Have you got the character specced out for a bunch of levels?
In any case the next part is probably not combat heavy at all so you guys don't need to pause to level up to push ahead.
Hehe, kinda sorta. I'm always looking ahead and thinking of what I want my characters to take next level, so when the time comes it doesn't take too long to make a decision. Plus I love crunching numbers.
But if you don't already have it, the Pathbuilder app is pretty helpful when it comes to this sort of thing.
I've been a bit busy but should get the level up done soonish. Getting a bit worried about Javell, it's been three weeks since his last post here, though more recently in other threads. Is everything okay, miss you buddy?
Yeah, it has been a while. Is all good Javell?
Yeah, I'm fine, sorry. I'm honestly going between dropping this game and continuing. Basically, I've been super busy and, while I'm enjoying reading along, I have a tendency to only post if there's something that I can respond to directly. I am enjoying reading along though. I should be able to level up this weekend.
Basically, I'm happy to stick around if you all are okay with me not posting a ton (what a shocking development....) If not, that's okay as well. I've just not been on the boards as much, and this game is really feeling the effects of that really.
Hi,
Character hopefully updated right.
Big changes
Attacks increase BAB now +6/+1.
So Axe is +10/+5
And Manyshot is added two arrow in one target with iterative attack three arrow in one round.
And big change to +2 mental stat goes to Wisdom
So the big skills shoot up
Perception +16/+18 forest (I might even see a stirge coming)
Survival +13 +16 to track.
Sorry it took so long.
Javell, I don't mind your character being a strong silent type if you want to just be active during combat.
Thanks for the level up Albus.
A quick knowledge check before I make my reply. Does Aelerie know what and where the nearest Dwarven settlement is?
Yikes, completely missed the knowledge check Aelerie.
Dwarves are a bit uncommon in Andoran, usually travelling merchants like Gorat. The bigger cities have strong communities of them but it's really the Five Range Mountains where the Dwarves have their own settlements. It seems like Groat wasn't coming from that direction though as it's pretty harsh going to go from Andoran's borders to the underground Dwarven strongholds to the NorthEast.
Next post is probably going to be on Tuesday. Happy Canada Day! To maybe just me. But long weekend woo!
Ever have those days where it seems like you never get the chance to do what you're trying to do, for no logical reason? That basically sums up my last two weeks.
Level-up:
+7 HP
+1 Will, Fort save
+1 BAB
+1 2nd-level spell slot
Skills: Perception, Survival, Profession (soldier), Sense Motive
Bonus Feat: Startoss Shower
I hope you enjoyed a nice, long weekend GM! The rest of us will have to settle for one day off in the middle of the week, I guess. =p
Hope all the Americans in the game had a wonderful 4th of July! PUt the two underground level maps back up. You guys are in the first area of the first level.
Independence Day was quiet for me, most family was vacationing elsewhere this year, but quiet is good. Hope Canada Day was wonderful for you as well.
Map updated slightly.
Good thing you guys didn't come this way last time around!
Map updated.
So vacation update!
I'm going to be off for two week starting Friday. Got two family weddings to deal with :). Probably will be very very sporadic in my posting. Might not be getting back into the swing of things until the 7th of August.
Oooh! Well, I hope you enjoy your vacation and the free food at the weddings! =) We'll keep ourselves entertained until you get back.
First wedding is my wife's brother and the second is my wife's first cousin! I'm too close to just show up and enjoy free food! We're going to be helping out all over the place as well as hosting family from abroad. And since our house is the only one with safety gates and toys we're going to be getting all the family with little kids.
Pray for meeee.
I've always found that when there are kids underfoot driving you crazy that's when the need to game is the highest. Better to orcs than kids :)
Family events can be exhausting, I know. But since you can't stop the chaos try to enjoy it as best as can be. Good wishes and prayers on the way.
Oh, you poor thing! That's not a vacation, that's just working without pay. I'm normally not much for prayer, but I think I'll have to make an exception for you. =)
And I agree with Laro; feel free to come back to the game when you need a real vacation!
Man, as someone who isn’t a huge fan of social events, that sounds miserable. However, also kind of interesting at the same time. I’ll definitely be praying. Have fun.
Updated map. Everyone good with how things are going in the low level dungeon crawl?
You doing good too Javell?
Appreciated everyone's kind thoughts!
Yep! Doing fine. Just not a ton to say.
Yes I'm good with a slow but steady pace for this round of dungeon crawling, it works for me!
Glad some sanity is returning to your life GM.
All good here! I'm enjoying the interactions with Gorat, too. It's nice having a tie-in to dwarven history tagging along for this.
The forums are ridiculous lately.
Completely, I tried posting a heartbeat check a little while ago failed here.
We're back.. I think?
The website troubles are messing with our momentum!
I've been out with medical issues since Aug 26th. I had a colonoscopy on the 27th and surgery on the 28th. This was planned but with all of the site problems I didn't get a chance to warn any of the games I am in. I'm home and out from work for at least 4-6 weeks. I don't know what my posting will be like but I'm sure will depend on how I feel and how the drugs work.
I was planning on starting a campaign before the surgery took place for my DM's and those I play in games with. I was going to use the time before surgery for recruitment and then start the game when I got out of the hospital. If I get it up and running I'll let you guys know. It's going to be a fun next few days getting used to being home again.
Get well Laro and don't overtax yourself, take the time you need to heal.
