Looking over the gameplay thread, it seems Kastus and Cedrica's arguement is a good reason for her to decide to strike out on her own or something if an In character reason is needed for her to leave.
Just so we know, I'm not trying to make a player v player conflict. This is meant to stay a character conflict. I also don't want hurt feelings, so if I'm pushing it, say so here and I'll roll it back a bit.
I have no issue with it, though I'll try to find a way to get Cedrica to leave without it being an issue.
Should we open up recruitment?
I'm not certain. I'd had the thought of bringing Restiji (I think was his name) but I'm uncertain. What do you all think? Shall we have another wizard?
Fine by me. A ranger or woodsy type might also be good as we are supposed to be exploring, but extra firepower is always appreciated
You could ask the player if he might have another character idea, perhaps?
A Note on Loot: Oleg will accept any items you don't need and give you a running tab at the Trading Post. Oleg can get you anything you'd like in time, though it will take around a week (for normal goods) and 2-3 times that for for exotic goods. He has a few things on hand if any of your characters would like to check upon returning.
So when are we starting this going again, huh?
Well we seem to have lost three players. I was enjoying this though. Perhaps I can recruit a few more, I'll put a post up in recruitment and see what may bite.
Much obliged
I'm totally willing to see if we get fresh meat-I mean friends, friends!
I am having some slight issues with my internet. I am hoping to have them cleared up by the end of the week but until I get my net back I'll be on hiatus. No need to worry.
I'm back!
Making a recruitment thread now.
Alright, recruitment is open, working on getting us 'recruits' now.
Alright, I got us 2 (possibly 3) new characters and now I have a question.
Would we like to begin again? Or attempt to work forward from here? We are not too far into the storyline and so working forward would not be too difficult, but I figured the question should be posed.
Hello there everyone, I'm Rune and I'll be playing Alexei, human Oracle.
Hope we can have some fun!
Ouch, I took a look at the gameplay thread and it seems you guys stopped in the middle of a fight!
If Ryuko would like, we could always be prisoners in the bandit camp, just finishing to cut off our ropes and join in the kickassery!
Alexei could had been travelling south when he got ambushed and kidnapped by the bandits.
Hello,
And thanks for the oppurtunity.
Deacon is a wanderer by circumstance, so there's no reason he couldn't be a prisoner...
I do have a question, i asked in the recruitment forum and never got a reply.
Scribe scroll for my non combat feat? Ok?
Can I take the Tattooed Sorcerer Archetype?

Yes and yes.
No worries. Char sheet updated. Ready whenever you wish to bring me in.
Any further clarification needed?
Alexei is carrying almost no gear whatsoever, figuring he escaped town with only a little stored coin. When we get to some kind of store he should outfit himself, but I like the idea of the party meeting him as a unarmed and unarmored skinny man.
I will have you two as prisoners. I have one more character joining, a half-ogre barbarian, but I am currently attempting to haggle out a bit less powerful version. Wouldn't want him to overshadow our own Kastus as the martial of the group. Once that's done we will begin again with all of you as prisoners of the bandits.
Welcome aboard, guys
Howdy folks. Big grumpy guy reporting for duty. Looking forward to being surly and confused at all of you.
Alright, out doing errands right now but I'll have a post moving us forward in gameplay later today.
Jesus, a half-ogre mounted barbarian! That poor horse!
Hey folks, do any of you know if there's any feat to turn a skill into a class skill? I plan to invest into Perception for I'd like to represent Alexei's other sharper senses compensating for his poor vision, and the Alertness feat has been only a small bump.
YOu can use Cosmopolitan to make 2 mental based skills into class skills and add 2 languages to boot
Could I take that feat instead of Alertness for my extra feat? I would still get Sense Motive and Perception as skills as normally.
That's just fine.
Jesus, a half-ogre mounted barbarian! That poor horse!
Mounted Fury was his original build, mostly because I didn't like the idea of Raxus being super-fast and because he's kind of obsessed with flying and I thought that eventually having a flying mount sounded cool.
At the moment he's a mounted fury Barb without a mount.
With Leadership or a few levels of Beast Rider Cavalier, I would absolutely allow a flying mount. Sounds awesome to me. Or a good enough Handle Animal I suppose.
You just gave me an awesome idea.
What's that?
This guy.
I made a new profile for Deacon. This time as a foresight wizard.
His role will effectively be the same but given the remoteness of the local being able to add spells to a spellbook would be far more useful to this party.
I'd like to take 1 level of Cavalier (order of the dragon) at 2 and shoot for arcane Archer/EK. He'd ride around on his horse (to stay out of melee) plinking with magic and arrows. With enough levels he'd be able to make the horse fly (I'll need to take bonded companion feat to keep it survivable though)
this way he'll be 90% pure caster/knowledge guy (which I think suits this group well) but can still do something useful (shoot!!) when the magic runs out.
I know it's late, but the party hasn't met him yet (I still have the old one if you say no), can I swap for this guy, please?
I feel happier with the development potential here, whereas with the first version it was simply 'Sorcerer with broad selection of spells'.
Character sheet updated.
Ryuko, I have a question for you about equipment. As his backstory I have Raxus as a hunter/trapper. He has lethal tools, but primarily he tried to use non-lethal options.
What would I have to do to have a subdual damage reach weapon?
Hm... that is an odd thought. What sort of weapon were you thinking about? As in damage dice, special abilities other than reach, critical range and multiplier?
Well, I'm thinking of changing his normal weapon to an Ogre Hook, and thinking that if he padded the back end it might work.
A normal Ogre Hook is 1d10 x3, Reach, Trip.
Maybe the "subdual end" could keep those same stats and drop Trip for Subdual?
Ryuko, am I cool to run with the new (wiz) version of Deacon or do you want the old (sorc) one?
Sorry Deacon, I missed that. You look fine. Go ahead and use the new one.
That sounds fair Raxus.
Thanks.
Err, Ryuko, lemme know if I got a little carried away on the description. As Alexei's spells and abilities are a gift from the gods and his ancestors, I though he could have a good ghostly quality about them. I can easily play down the tone if you'd like a more down-to-earth game, though.
There are also three men tied firmly to a nearby tree, hands bound securely and almost hanging by their wrists.
*ehem*
I'm pretty sure we aren't bound the way you think are, Alexi. Sounds like we're stretched out with our arms over our heads.
Some of those spells have Somatic components. Without Still Spell I think you're going to have trouble casting until we deal with those ropes.
Hoping I'm not out of line pointing these things out. I was just hoping to show you the quote from the GM in time for you to still be able to use the Edit feature.
ooh sorry then. I thought Alexei was probably just tied up and thrown to the side, since he doesn't look troublesome. I deleted the post and will wait on GM feedback.
It was a cool post. I liked the flavor you gave the abilities.
Summoning a weapon like that is a Spell-Like, which means it doesn't have somatic components. I'm pretty sure you could do that and use it to cut us free. That would be pretty cool as an introduction to who you are.
Ryuko, would you please recommend a couple languages appropriate to the campaign? Alexei grew up in Restov, but he served at an inn for a good chunk of his life, he would have learned the languages of travelling people around the town.
Sorry for the slowness guys, I'm pretty sick.
Alexei, You are tied as Raxus suggested, though yes, you could summon your weapon. Good languages for this area include Hallit (there are a fair few barbarian tribes using it), Elven (Not too far from Kyonin), Taldan is spoken often among the nobles, Skald is common for the common people of the area, Varisian is a useful trade language, Draconic is spoken by a few scholars in the region, Sylvan is spoken by the plentiful fey in the region, and Aklo by the dark fey.
Hope the perhaps 'unwise' rescue attempt by the cleric doesn't offend anyone. I figured it might be more exciting for our new team mates if we could get them free asap :)
