Worshiping philosophy is always best. I have less arguments with it about my actions.
Possible future plot idea for John; clearing out the corruption in The Rack and replacing them with clean members of the Dotarri?
Andrea the bandit is not dead as you did stablize him. He is negative hit points and Andrea would know this when she examines him.
Also, I figured you know your way around this particular morgue, so a back access is known by you.
Whoops. I mean take the corpse of the brewer to be stored. Mr.Bandit will be going with the others for a chat.
back in about an hour. Your morgue buddy is there and there will be some rp.
All we need now is some magic that will aloow us to say "ENHANCE!" ;)
Just wondering how the others feel about the scenes? Do you think Andrea is getting too much limelight? I do plan on wrapping things up soon on this arc so others can step up.
Andrea, from the GM stand point you are doing great, playing your character, I try to mix it up and put hooks for each character to develop. Andrea getting sick in the sewer was too much to resist given your deity, certainly made for good banter.
- Andrea has her deity and the halfling romance going.
- Kenji has a budding romance with Janiven.
- Shinon has noble friend, other paranoia and back issues developing.
- Duncan has his forge, Ermolos NPC, and Grumm the Blacksmith adding layers.
- John has his Hellknight relatives, Rack investigations and Dottari leads.
There are many leads and hooks that have been weaved into each character, most have not matured yet.
Now you are at point where investigation and questions are important to ask of the NPC's. Gather information.
Does anyone else have Luven Lightfingers Gear and Treasure Shop book, from 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming? The book has a lot of good adventuring gear from the mudane to the exotic, so if there is something you are looking for just ask, perhaps it can be incorporated.
Haven't seen it. Haven't been able to get any new books lately. I have Rulebok, Ultimate Magic and Advanced Player's guide
The only books I have are Core, APG, UM, UC, bestiary 1&2 and a pdf of ARG.
Core, APG, UM, UC, faiths of balance, cheliax guide and a few companions.
- Shinon has noble friend, other paranoia and back issues developing.
I (the player) am interested in future interactions with Lady Chelsi. She seems like she has promise as an interesting character.
Derp. I went ooc knowledge there. Assumed everyone would share info about contacts and such.

I take the Suspicious trait very seriously. (As well as the Conspiracy Hunter trait). Shinon keeps everyone at arm's length, though if anyone has a chance of getting him to open up a bit at the moment, it's Andrea. (She would just have to actively try)

Lots of story lines developing. Plenty of opportunity for character development.
John is going for the strong silent type I see. :) We need to get him an apprentice from the rebels. Get him to loosen up. :)
Re: John- Rizzardo showed an interest early on. He also has potential dottari ties with Maurice, Swift and Kenswick. I'm sure there will be more opportunities.
So if we can get them trained and apply for Hellknight trainees, or at least Dottari, they can help strengthen anti Hellknight sentiment. Act as a base for future Hellnights?
We may never get to book 2 with all these side adventures and spidering story arcs. I've made Henk into such a villian and the noble family intrigue, that the remaining AP story may be a let down. LOL
Hehehehe. Well right now we have Henk and the goblin hunting as the biggest plots. If we can clear them out we can get with the main adventure. :)
Andrea's goals right now are kind of like this:
1.Finish up whatever needs to be done with talking and such at the morgue.
2.Go home, get drugs.
3.Go to bathhouse for a bath and drugs.
4.Dealing with the most important issue of that ultimatium that is hovering over her neck.
I could quite simply develop the current arcs and it would be a fantstic intriguing political plot. I would use segments of each module as guidlines for some overall structure. However, I could develop a wickedly hard hitting, investgative sleuth story that would incredibily fun to play. A slight touch of Call of Cthulhu woven in the game. Oh, there would be plenty of combat.
Perhaps a little halfling snack to ease your tension?
Re: Adventure Hmm. All of those ideas have quite the merit. Shinon's comments about hob-nobbing with nobles and just why we should be able to perform intrigue me. Just how would John take to dance lessons? lol
Andrea will be snacking, but I have a plan. Deals with a contact of hers and a flashback of her life(Which might get into Ewwww territory)
I wish I had come up with a better back story. I don't have anything neat to really look forward to in this.
Janiven is a pretty sweet arc, not to mention an odd one considering Kenji is really only a background character in all this. Wish I could come up with something else to be tied to.
Mentoring some of the Brothers of Westcrown would be a good goal for Kenji. Be a kind of Big Brother/Big Sister thing where you can instill your philosiphies in them. Also safe havens after dark for free. 'If you can't get home when the sun goes down, come to us' Like little bolt holes with a bedroll and lantern.
Even with all the subplots, it shouldn't be too hard to get back on track. A word from Areal or Janiven could be the 'Plot point ahead' sign.
I bring my subplot (Erm) with me!
So, how much XP was that sewer expedition worth altogether?

Feel free to redesign the backstory if you want. The key is to be involved and have fun. Even with a redesigned background, we can keep janiven interest in you.
Regarding XP, do you all want me to continue handling out XP as we go or you prefer me periodically advising when to level up. I noticed a couple folks miss osme of the XP post. Doesn't matter to me.
XP is only relevant when leveling up in PF, since you don't have to spend it on spells or crafting. So I guess I'd be fine with you just letting us know when we level up.

I've always been one that hands out XP, as it acts as progress report so the players see how close they are to the next level. I'm perfectly fine either way, XP or just tracking when players should level. It's is easy to miss those posts mentioning XP awards on this forum.
Until the group decides, the XP for the latest sewer adventure is 400 plus 1 Fame point (the merchants are chattering about the adventurers who ventured in and brought out Henri Stoutpour, along with one of their own drunken friends. It takes a lot of nerve to go into the sewer and fetch a friend.)
Just tell us when we level.
I've been in enough games where DM simply says "Okay time to level"
If you want, rather than give us how much XP we've just earned, just give us what our current total is.
I am partial to both and I do like being informed of Xp gained/totals since it gives me a sense of progress So i am going with Kenji's choice. Looks like John is the tie breaker.
Did a little post editing since I mistakenly posted ooc knowledge
Interesting philosophical discuss between Duncan and Kenji. I like it.
Very interesting. I'm gonna sit back and let them talk.
Think of Duncan as 'The Punisher'
Ohh.. Not good. Frank is a psycho( as often noted by the other characters) who has that troublesome authorital fiat keeping him safe since he takes so much damage that he should be dead 100 times over.
Punisher MAX does point it out that Frank is in a place he is never leaving and the grave is the only end for him.
Pretty much. ;)
Better hope Duncan doesn't catch Andrea eating anybody...
She doesn't eat them she like to have other unnarual acts with the deceased.
Wonder if Shinon is at work?
I'm ready for some posting.
Pretty much. ;)
He's living up to that as well. He's leading the kill count and has taken more damage than anybody and His saves are 25-30% higher than everybody else (and witchunter scales it higher if he spellcraft's the spell affecting him)
If we make it to high levels his domain will grant him RAGE.
He's an angry divinely empowerd meatshield.
Better hope Duncan doesn't catch Andrea eating anybody...
Not the kind of eating you are thinking of.
Oh boy. I wasn't expecting to be butting heads with the dwarf. If only he knew what Kenji was involved in when he was younger. I am sure Duncan would have killed him too. Kenji believes strongly in second chances and even third chance. He also doesn't put it on himself to decide otherd fates. Their fate is there own whatever Kenji decides.
well maybe you can Rp Duncan into coming around to your point of view.
Perhaps Kenji aned Andrea can tag team Duncan.
Duncan, please sit down to dinner with us so we can talk this over. I made some Pork.
Oh boy! Here we go!
Please don't kill the nice morgue worker, he is just trying to do his job.
Whoops Haha. Don't do drugs folks. Of course Andrea never could say no. Hopefully things will work out with what I have in mind.
