Arcanium ~ A New World (Inactive)

Game Master BloodWolven

Round 4 commence!!!

Wolf, I was looking at the posts. Did you forget I cast shield before the goblins arrived?

Hope my post cleared up the actions. Some of it was just a guess at first since the goblins were not on the map, but Frank had plenty of movement to engage and start slaying these things :)

Yeah I moved Frank for his original position with his allotted movement. He was the furthest away. Round 1: Frank moved 60' he double moved this got him to the first 2 goblins. Round 2 he used tidal blade to kill 2 of them this is a standard he drew his weapon as a move as I though he was engaged but he could have moved 30ft more and drew his weapon. Round 3 he would use the Panthera on the hunt to charge over to the yellow one as they don't get AoO with the maneuver so yellow takes 13 damage. I would have been more clear but there were no bad guys on the map originally :). So should be no issue. with the engagement unless I'm missing something. So round 4 Frank can move 30' and engage the far right white and red.

Frank was with the ‘corpse’ checking it with a heal check. Coming back from that requires 2 move actions to get back to the room. Frank’s avatar on the map was not accurate where he started round 1.

Though it looks like you just want to disregard what I have to say.

I saw you cast shield Joe, the one that hit you rolled a 19 I believe.

I see. Thanks for the clear up.

not at all, So is the corpse the token with the teal border? If so then yeah I would have had to double move on round 1 and 2. I was basing everything on where my token was on the map sorry. Let me know what action you need me to repost for what round. Was just posting to keep things moving.

The corpse is not even on the map. The token at the far left is Eindar... the corpse would have been even further the the left, only a double movement because of the cramped space and you needing to squeeze out of the 'small' tunnel.

I can understand that Frank. We will just let it stand where everything is for now.

On better and worse news: I am sorry for my lack of posting. I should have posted I would not likely be able to post on the weekend, it was my wife's birthday weekend. Then Sunday night on the way home I was driving in fresh snow and was going a little too fast down a steep hill. I slide into the embackment and have been dealing with the accident, shock and recovering from it. No real damage to me or the car, just me being in shock. Now I have recovered from it for the most part and should be posting daily again.

Glad you're feeling better.

Its fine Wolf, don't worry about it. Just the fact that your alive and well more than makes up for it in my books.

oh man, I grew up in the snow, I have slid into a couple ditches and embankments myself. Most at slow speed, but each time it does cause for some reflection. Be safe out there.

Sorry again for the confusion. I think you know my goal is always to try and keep the game moving and that everyone is having fun, was not trying to go against you ;) This weekend is bad for me as well. I'm good next week but the week after with Christmas will not be as good as we will be traveling.

Merry Christmas Everyone. :)

Yes lets keep this game moving and having fun! Thanks Frank!
Merry Christmas everyone!

5 magical items (for the party)
1. Portable Hole

And then I was hit with the stomach flu... took me out for another five days... Sorry team, still trying to catch up, post when you can!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! ;)

Merry Christmas and to a Happy New Year! And maybe better luck!

So Frank why is there no AoO when you attempted the disarm from the goblin?

You may finish any posts needed for round 9, then move to round 10.

Its part of the maneuver used with the gambit:

Blade of Breaking(May perform a sunder or disarm attempt with a +4 circumstance bonus without provoking AoO)

Yeah my 'vacation' went longer than expected, then the days I thought I would free were filled with baby care, shopping, and more time with family.

Joe technically that is the item you wished for, though it might not be exactly what you asked for. Many of you wished for the sky and might only get the rock you threw into the air that came back to almost hit you in the head. ;)

Why do I have a really bad feeling about this?

Well you have two options, you can get the item you asked for and at least one nasty curse or sorts. Or you can gain a nerffed version, I will let you pick.

For example Artemis asked for a +1 flaming rapier, which he can have but there will be a curse on it. Or it can just be a Masterwork rapier.

Some possible curses can be found here.

Ehh. I take the nerffed version, thanks.

I'm fine with a masterwork rapier :)

I'll keep the +1 flaming rapier as is since it was going to be a gift to Frank, and since Frank is fine with the Masterwork Rapier, we can just sell the flaming rapier then.

Ok!

Hey Wolf!
What are Joe's options for celestial familiar and what benefits do celestial familiars have? Also will the group be leveling soon?

The group will be leveling up ASAP... just trying to figure out how to explain how you know you are ready too.

You may take most familiars and apply the celestial name/template to it. The benefits would the same as the normal type. You won't gain your familiar until you specify a patron.

Then Artemis has a +1 flaming rapier, Frank has a masterwork rapier, Joe has a magical headband of Lore +2 to a specific knowledge of your choice, it can be changed each day.

So far: Sunhawks has been suggested as a team name.

Whoa! That'll be useful! I'm not sure where Sunhawks came from but Joe's okay with it.

Sorry I got distracted and made a quick response... I was going through Joe's last post and responding to it, then work called.

Sunhawks? Interesting though I don't relate with it well.

I think we need to figure out who we are a bit more, as a devotee to Death I would something along those lines. Such as Death Dogs/Hounds, Death Blades, Dark/Divine Harbingers, Lunar/Night Hawks, Death's Shadow, etc.

Is there a creature or animal that we want to emulate?

So it looks like the group should then go get Arven and track down those girls then... before we move forward a day or two...

As of right now, Joe is considering Heironeous as his divine patron, seeing how he said he brought Delman back from the dead, but The Mistress is also an inviting yet unusual divine patron.

Reading up on The Heironean Code, The Duty to The People and The Duty to The Lady would be easy to follow, The Duty to The Archpaladin might be difficult for Joe, seeing how he's not above working with other faiths and praying to myriad deities.

And then there's the issue of Joe's afterlife, would be reside in Heaven after living a good, dutiful life or exist in some spirit-filled Neutral plane?

Questions to ponder and perhaps get answers to.

Sorry all, home computer died on Friday night. I then had 2 days of work training to start the week and have been playing catch up. I will be back to normal tomorrow sorry for delays.

Wolf! Come back! We need you! I need you!

Sorry boys. Honestly not sure what kept me away. I know I have been really busy with work, baby, chores, and playing on my ps4; but I should have been able to get a post out at least once a day. Sorry for that, maybe I just needed a break. Back now and with a 4 day weekend in the snow I should get lots of posts in! ;)

I am ready to get things done so we can go down different trails at the same time I think. Such as meeting the Mistress, going see Sven, and speaking with your halfling leader all at the same time.

My posts have been eaten twice now!!! I hope this one stays.

Hey all. My parents came for a visit so the wife and I are taking a mini vacation and heading to Orlando to worship at the alter of the big mouse for a few days. Regular posting will resume Monday. Please bot me as needed. I will try and check in on phone. Thank you.

Don't worry, my posts have been eaten up as well. Have fun with your worship Frank.

Wow! I wasn't expecting the entire party dedicating themselves to the Mistress, least of all Artemis!

DisneyLand or DisneyWorld... either way have fun!!! We will just move ahead and you can catch up easily enough when you get back.

Well when a paladin devotes himself... it just seems natural or perhaps it was Jellena, or the half naked girls! :P Well things will be easier this way!

As I have already spoken with Joe, each of you please come up with some archetype bonuses you think would be best. They might want to be focused on killing undead, life, or death. I await suggestions please also supply links please.

I thought about this for a while, and I guess if I had to pick something for Artemis it would be See in Darkness similar to option 67 on the Variant Tiefling Abilities Table or, barring that Darkvision 60. My rationale behind is if Artemis is going to be a better shot and improve his aim, improving his eyesight would be the first step as training and experience would bolster his skills naturally over time.

Joe and I think using the Ghost Hunter Archetype would be a good basis. You can tell that I delayed the special gain by at least 1 level but normally 2.

At 1st level you gain a +2 to one ability, your choice.
2nd: Gain a bonus on a skill - +2 on ...
3rd: Gain a special - Ghostly Smite 1/day
4th: +2 to one ability, your choice different than before; or +1 to two abilities.
5th: gain a bonus feat
6th:
7th: +2 to one ability, your choice different than before
8th: Gain a special - Exorcise Possession
9th: Gain a bonus on a skill - +2 on ...
10th: +2 to one ability, your choice; or +1 to two abilities.
11th: Gain a special - Speak to the Restless
12th: gain a bonus feat
13th: +2 to one ability, your choice different than before

I like what you guys have there. Seems great.

On the levels that you get a +1 to two abilities if chosen do they have to be different than the one you added a +2?

Order of actions planned:
Take the goblin ears and claim our reward for the quest,
speak with the Jackals and see if we can find one of those magical spots,
speak with 'what's his name about a mission'...
Joe level up.

With Delman and Artemis finishing the day with leveling up. I would suggest the rest of you do the same and pick up with the goblin ears in the morning at the guild house.

At 4th level you pick a different +2 or put +1 on two ability scores. So yes you could put +2 on strength and then +1 on strength and +1 on Wisdom.

Thank you, Wolf. I have a few questions:
1) Do we get the same amount of skill points we received when we made our characters, or do we have the standard skill points per class?
2) I don't remember if we got the Level 1 benefits of +2 to One Ability when we made our characters. If not, can we add those now?
3) When I level, can I add my familiar to my character sheet?
4) Are we, who dedicated ourselves to The Mistress, still receive the Youthful Draught of Bodily restoration?
