Ok then, no problem.
They gave you potions during the celebration.
I'm not going to be online much this evening, I'm getting ready to run some players through a couple levels of Rappan Athuk Friday night for a one-shot tabletop game.
They are going down the Well...
I'll check in a few times to see what the group is doing. It's been sort of quiet today.
I think it's been quiet because we're waiting for the spellcrafting folks to finish.
Yeah, Lucrezia doesn't have detect magic to see what they are seeing.
At least not yet...
A level of spellcaster just keeps looking more useful to me.
Okay. Andrea will be using Detect Magic to locate magical auras that might be trapped spots. She will be concentrating as she moves with Grimm.
So Faelyn and Ziz need to roll Know:Arcana
With family. Bot as needed.
Baldwin, what do you think of:
Detective
Piecing together clues and catching the guilty with sheer cleverness, the detective is skilled at divining the truth.
Bardic Performance: A detective gains the following types of bardic performance.
Careful Teamwork (Su): A detective uses performance to keep allies coordinated, alert, and ready for action. All allies within 30 feet gain a +1 bonus on Initiative checks, Perception, and Disable Device checks for 1 hour. They also gain a +1 insight bonus on Reflex saves and to AC against traps and when they are flat-footed. These bonuses increase by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. Using this ability requires 3 rounds of continuous performance, and the targets must be able to see and hear the bard throughout the performance. This ability is language-dependent and requires visual and audible components. This performance replaces inspire courage.
True Confession (Su): At 9th level, a detective can use performance to trick a creature into revealing its secrets. Using this ability requires a successful Sense Motive check to see through a Bluff or notice mental compulsion. After 3 continuous rounds of performance, the target must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard's level + the bard's Cha modifier). Success renders the target immune to this power for 24 hours. On a failed save, a liar inadvertently reveals the lie and the truth behind it. A creature under a charm or compulsion reveals the nature of its enchantment and who placed it (if the creature knows) and gains a new saving throw to break free from the enchantment. This ability is language-dependent and requires audible components. Using this power requires only 2 rounds of performance at 15th level, and 1 round of performance at 20th level. This performance replaces inspire greatness.
Show Yourselves (Ex): At 15th level, a detective can use performance to compel creatures to reveal themselves when hiding. All enemies within 30 feet must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard's level + the bard's Cha modifier). If they fail, they must cease using Stealth, unlock and open doors between themselves and the detective, and dismiss, suppress, or dispel if necessary magical effects that grant invisibility or any other form of concealment from the detective. As long as they can hear the performance, affected creatures may not attack or flee until they have eliminated every such effect, though they are freed from this compulsion immediately if attacked. Creatures in the area must make this save each round the bard continues his performance. This ability is language-dependent and requires audible components. This performance replaces inspire heroics.
Eye for Detail (Ex): A detective gains a bonus equal to half his level on Knowledge (local), Perception, and Sense Motive checks, as well as Diplomacy checks to gather information (minimum +1). This ability replaces bardic knowledge.
Arcane Insight (Ex): At 2nd level, a detective can find and disable magical traps, like a rogue's trapfinding ability. In addition, he gains a +4 bonus on saving throws made against illusions and a +4 bonus on caster level checks and saving throws to see through disguises and protections against divination (such as magic aura, misdirection, and nondetection). This ability replaces well-versed.
Arcane Investigation: In addition, a detective's class spell list includes the following: 1st—detect chaos/evil/law/good; 2nd—zone of truth; 3rd—arcane eye, speak with dead, speak with plants; 4th—discern lies; 5th—prying eyes, stone tell; 6th—discern location, find the path, greater prying eyes, moment of prescience. A detective may add one of these spells or any divination spell on the bard spell list to his list of spells known at 2nd level and every four levels thereafter. This ability replaces versatile performance.
As my choice for an arcane class if I do go with the Arcane Archer prestige class?
Not Baldwin obviously but didn't you want a familiar?
Bards don't get them. I think there is a feat for one.
Or was it the Bard spellist you like.
Dance of hundred cuts is nice.
Well, all the familiars that I really want, I would have to wait several levels to get anyway and that's a long time to wait when I could be dead long before then.
Yea, this book has been the deadlist yet. We're dropping like flies here.
There's only 1 solution.
Optimised AM BARBARIAN away!!!
So it seems like we will be able to navigate the path way without too much troube but still have to deal with whatever is on Delvehaven. So Faelyn can examine the area around the buildign and then we check out the doors and see if one of the keys will open it.
Let's get it on. I will be asleep for nex 7 hours. See you at 4am
Lucrezia...busy this morning but I will try to look at your question later this afternoon.
No rush, I have until we hit next level to make up my mind. :)
Good morning all.
Yo
I'm getting ready to head to dinner, back in couple hours.
Ok
Lucrezia is on fire with the dice today!
I'm back
That is much better than Lucrezia literally being on fire, which has happened in the past. :)
I'm thinking of other devious thing to do to Lucrezia. Although I am gleeful that your flesh sizzled away with some acid...
As a heads-up I have a bit of extra time on my hands for the next few days. The family went out of town and I'm home. I'm having an impromtu Rappan Athuk game tomorrow night but other than that I should be on quite a bit.
I wonder if "impromtu Rappan Athuk game" is some sort of code for having some sort of orgy while your family is away?
Also, I enjoy having devious things done to Lucrezia.
...or is that deviant things that I mean I enjoy having done to Lucrezia? ;)
Well if you were here in FL you would know! :-)
Ah ha! That wasn't a denial. :)
Impromtu RA game means 'Don't get too attached to your characters' and 'Don't bother with things like Profession skills' as well as 'Being a cheeseball isn't that big a sin. ;)

They were given a 25 pt buy, 8th level, two characters build.
don't worry about crafting. They are going down the "WELL".Of course, my read of the section it looked pretty easy until the final battle, which is a deathly encounter, so I fixed the early engagements. :-)

Living vicariously through Lucrezia.
Hmmm Bizzare thoughts for future..
Andrea starts backsliding on the 'Love the food, not the chef' tenent of Calistria and becomes obsessed with working harder in order to get vengeance/get money for revives and next level takes Blacksmithing and Moneymonger knowledge skills. Works at Grumm's after working at the Exchange. Due to this, she has the 'fatigued' status due to lack of sleep.
Routine is Wake-pray-apple-Exchange-Grumm's-sandwich-crash(When not out on missions) Fiosa starts feeling neglected, etc..
Geez, that's not burning the candle at both ends. That's nuking the damn candle from orbit to be sure. Andrea's going to drop dead from exhaustion if you try that.
Andrea is simply pyscho...:-) She's had a few traumas to her psyche. Worry when her head starts to twist around.
Can I get the Vomit Swarm spell? Wasps in all the orc's faces. Also the Inquisitor spell 'Retribution' looks nice.
A Ring of Sustinance looks nice. Only 2 hours sleep needed!
I'm happy we had a decent amount of post today.
Orsin is going to be in his element when he gets back on.
Hmm. Divine Vindicator doesn't have Craft or Profession, tch..
I wonder if Baldwin would let me BLOODSWORN RETRIBUTION.
It's freaking awesome.
Check it out.
I need to log off...cat tomorrow
Is Lucrezia up for ponying up some cash when the extra fees for freeing Orn come up?
Baldwin is done for the night. Time to run amok!
No ponies. Ponies are getting way out of control.
Pony mods for Fallout
Pony mods for Grand Theft Auto
Something that was for young kids is now the possession of adult men..
Uh, okay.
I think we can safely avoid ponies.
Aww. Grimm likes ponies. Stout shaggy ponies.
Lucrezia will chip in on the Orn fund of course.
yay!
Also there are stairs right here in the main hall sow e can head right up. :)
Truk has every intention to throw every copper to his name in until either A) Orn is free or B) Baldwin stops me from sabotaging my character.
We just need to start looking for treasure in things not normally considered. I'm sure that the painting in the main entrance can be worth something. ;)
