Arcanium ~ A New World (Inactive)

Game Master BloodWolven

Well I am glad you hand is doing better Frank. I have been super busy with life again like always catching us up soon.

GM Wolf, we miss you, but we understand the busy Memorial Day Weekend is coming up. So we hope to see you on Tuesday, please?

That is the hope! I should get us going and with a daily follow up posts.

Level up HP... 1d8 ⇒ 2 Ehhh another 2!!!

Heck it looks like I might just need to trade in my ninja class to barbarian to get some health! :P

Not just you Frank. I should be on for the next few hours and most of tomorrow.

I can't edit the map right now.
Someone please put red 'x's on 10,3,4,5,and 6.

The map should now be fully updated for Round 11 now Wolf.

Thanks Artemis! I am getting the NPCS done now.

What's going on with Zombie #3 in green?

You killed it in round 10 with your attack.

Got it!

So busy... I start to make a post then get pulled to do one thing or another... mostly baby time.

My pal and I finished off a pint of... whiskey I believe... in a few hours and then stayed buzzed for the rest of the day.

Then there is a lack of a decent computer... I really need to get a replacement. My wife's lenovo just isn't cutting it.

The map is correct, he pulled everyone to him and then moved towards the beast.

I am still waiting on Frank, tomorrow I will move us forward. Or should I do it now?

No. Let's give Frank a chance.

Sorry guys. Traveled for work on Thursday then was out of town and for the weekend and just now checking in.

Since it is kinda in the past we are going to say you left the coffin behind behind.

Yeah, that's fair, I assumed Artemis would have been able to move the coffin by himself, since the skeleton was able to do it by themselves.

But did it move the coffin by itself? Perhaps there was something else... ;P

Friendly Reminder to PCs (and NPCs) who took the Youth Draught
The initial 24 hours is over. Your temporary +4 to all physical stats are gone, replaced by +2 to any two physical stats of your choice. I believe we still keep the +1 to Con when we soaked ourselves in the magical blue cavern water.

Joe is correct everyone please post here which two physical stats you chose. Also make note of it in your crunches.

Yes everyone still get to keep the +1 con, also your hp should be maxed out with a bonus 2 hp, thus an example 12/10 hp.

Thx Joe!

Joe put his +2 into Str and Con; giving the paladin a healthy Con 17 score!

Artemis put his +2 into Con and Dex.

I did this when we drank the potions :)

I too raised Str and Con

Please let me know if you want any aspect of your quest tweaked. Also if not stated the source will be the adventuring guild. You have 24 hours to make any changes.

There is no quest associated with the blue abberations yet...

Also everyone make a perception check, the DC is 10 for every 5 above you may make an additional d6 roll. Then roll 1d6-2 for one of the quest items.
You may make an additional search check if your luck is above 13.

I like the collecting dark crystals and books idea, along with the femurs.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

So nothing... focused on sleeping so far. :/

But I have luck of 14 so roll again! As we search ahead of us!

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

3d6 - 2 ⇒ (4, 1, 2) - 2 = 5

Which items? 1d6 ⇒ 6
So 5 burning stones

Let's see what I can find...

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

My luck is holding out!

3d6 - 2 ⇒ (1, 3, 3) - 2 = 5

Which items? 1d6 ⇒ 3
So 5 books

1d6 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

Which items? 1d6 ⇒ 4
4 femurs
1d6 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1

Which items? 1d6 ⇒ 1
And 1 dark crystal

Oh I see.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Dark Crystals: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Undead Essences: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

Collected Books: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Dark Crystals: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Burning Stones: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Books: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
what: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) = 10 books, femurs, books

Oh, no femurs, just books.: 2d6 - 2 ⇒ (6, 6) - 2 = 10 books.

I'm not following on what I need to do for the quest. I have a luck of 13 so do I make 2 perception checks? Ryada and Jellena made 3. Can I get a bit of clarification? Thanks guys.

Frank only gets one perception check. With a luck score of 18, the modifier is +2, thus they each got 3 checks. If your luck was 14 to 17 you would get two checks. I recently rolled for their luck and they were lucky, just as lucky to meet you three! ;)

Sorry was out of town for the weekend :)

That makes sense. Was wondering what the extra checks were based on :)

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

what: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Dark Crystals

How Many: 3d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) - 2 = 3

Wolf, I just realized that Artemis' initiative incorrectly displayed as +4 instead of a +3 and therefore his initiative for the fight should be a 14 instead of a 15.

Sorry boys for the absence, being a dad and starting up school has been a killer.

I am going to prepare the boss fight, until then we are going to take a story telling stance about our fight. If you want to make rolls to help dictate what you do feel free but you don't need to. Again sorry for the delay.

No worries happy you're back. Life always comes first. I will always be around when you're ready to play. I"m in training today so story mode is good :)

Joe frowns slightly at Jellena's admonishment as he retakes Excalibur from the ground. It's Lay on Hands! I need at least one hand free to do that. And taking off a shield takes longer than not holding a sword!

Even so, it looks like Jellena took my channeled energy like a champ, not c#mming in her pants like last time. It must be triggered by large amounts of healing energy.

Oh crap! I think Joe forgot he was wearing one of Jellena's mind-sharing rings!!!

Yes you are all controlled and I can read all your minds!!!! Muhahahahaha...
Nothing so sinister, then again no one has tried to identify them. Oh and you can't take it off! Be glad I can't read your mind!

2 bites... I know there is a fort save... when I can find it... Just NPCs... ;)

Joe told me that we all had posted last night and I had the best intentions to get some posts up... then the baby derailed my attention. To getting a post in today or tonight, cheers!

Thanks for the update!

I can't seem to find the post, but Joe vaguely remembers Jellena giving out special rings, "to help with interparty communication". I think it was after a huge fight/exploration, so the paladin had a lot on his mind to listen clearly to the oracle. As far as Joe knows, he's never used the rings; he just remembers the quick introduction to them from Jellena, and accepted her explanation.

Also, Joe's current mindset is if we can get the fountain up and running, the paladin might be able to call Zenli to help either teleport us to her sanctum or back to New Faces. Either way, reintroducing the hot half-elf? wizard back into the campaign would complete the Triforce Love Triangle, making life a bit more stressful for Joe and Ryada (though the RP dividends would be huge).

Yeah if mundane the fountain should be just an issue of digging. The well or water table may have dried up at the current level but if you dig deeper that should do. If not then there may be a simple on/off valve somewhere if more advanced. We can certainly look around :)

Sounds fun!!!

As to.research in the library:
Yes you could look for Mighty Godling you roll a percentile and after an hour of looking you have a 3% chance of finding a magical book and a 22% to learn about it. So a 98-100 and 75-97.
Then same chances for gestalt or anything else for that matters.

12d100 ⇒ (99, 25, 80, 76, 68, 13, 12, 83, 89, 10, 4, 5) = 564

So in the 12 hours she finds a book on mage hand and learns it. Learns alot about how this place works (4 times).

The paladin shakes his head, rolling his eyes. "Why do I always find the things that talk back", Joe muttered to himself.
"Option 5", the holy warrior said answering the intelligent book. "I want all my teammates to have the option to gestalt class. I can think of one member who would definitely want to."

Sorry guys out of office the last couple days. Looks like I missed a bit. I will catch up :)

Question: If Joe finds it, would anyone else want to mutliclass/gestalt into one of Rogue Genius's godling classes? Your answers would determine what the book/tablet looks like.

Mighty Godling is one of my favorite classes. I would be very interested. Frank would slowly become Thor :)
