Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

I'm going to log off for the night, I need to think about the next scene and create a map. I've got the cast of characters created and/or outlined already. I'll post the results of the scrying in the morning.

Sounds good. I am not feeling great tonight. Off my game a little!

Time for a little Saint's Row 3!

Tying up a few lose plot lines with this change in AP direction.

Going out for quick bite to eat with my wife back around 8.

Crazy at work today and now going out with the guys to hear some live music. I will be around tomorrow. Maybe later tonight, but it will be drunk typing ;) Halfway there now!

Love drunk typing. Especially the 5:11 am wake-up panicked feeling that you typed something you shouldn't have....then the race to log on to see if you actually did. An excellent feeling.

Most late night typing by me ends up with synthing l3ke dids

I'm around if anyone want to banter in the game thread.

I'm around and making a few comments. :)

Wow, weird day at work. I do a small measure of tech support for the only remaining bookstore chain in the country and somebody brought in stolen merchandise in need to troubleshooting. (To be fair, the product was a demo unit from <insert mega-retailer here> that the customer came into possession of via Craigslist, or so they claimed...)

I'm waiting til we arrive at Grumm's to pick up my armor! ^_^ After that, I'll have only 814 gp. :(

Also, since we've been talking about spelling names lately, which of the following is correct: Grumm or Gruum?

It's lunchtime here. Play on.
I am just cruising the pally spellist.
Have not prepped today.
Might have to buy and armored coat for sleeping.

I visit that only remaining bookchain in the country.

There will only be a limited amount of potential items available due to the panic in the city. I'll assign a random % that its available.

I sometimes visit Books a Million.

Andrea's done shopping. Time for some looting hopefully or else we will need to whore ourselves out again.

Speaking of which, Grimm never was 'hazed' into the group by barfing or whoring. Maybe Daniel will get the chance.

Edit: I would like to give Way of the Wicked a try but am trying to wrap my head aroudn the idea of being a bad-guy. I have made a character concept, 'Hound' a member of a tribe that followed old druidic faiths that got raided in a crusade. He was young then and was 'spared' with other children as a 'mercy'. Taken back to the city, he watched as the other children eventually shed the old ways and when his turn came to 'become civilized', he snapped and murdered the caretakers/teachers. He cast aside his name and became 'Hound' following any cleric/leader type.

I have the prequel and book 1 of the Way of the Wicked. I'd like to run it, but I will admit my only evil game I ran as a table top turned out terrible. I did a home brew pirate game before shackles. Ultimately, I decided to run an Rappan Athuk game instead of WoW, on the PbP boards. Something where death is expected.

I'm logging off, not sure how much I'll be on later. Morning and afternoon are busy and the evening has a table top game. The game may cancel but I won't know till later.

All set to go here. Time for a little video game and then sleep.

I've got my all day FR game on Sunday, but I should be on regularly tomorrow.

Ready to go. So our plan should be to locate Sascar by either heading into the sewers or going right after Henk and getting them all. Sascar is in immediate peril so we should locate her first though.

Lucrezia def votes for Sascar and castrating the guy that is with her. Will any lawful ppl object to that?

I think we might just be limited to repeated stabbings.

Repeated stabbings at his crotch?

I belive the APG has a 'Dirty Trick' move where you can do that.

I really can't post anything substantive till bout 3 pm eastern.

Ok, looks like my table top game is cancelling, so I should be online tonight. I'm going to take nap for while, back on later.

Midday nap? Do we make the jokes about getting old now?

I like my naps.

Oath of Vengeance Paladin:

Emphasis mine. Daniel is a good aligned judge dredd

I suppose I might take midday naps as well if my kids would let me. However, at least one of them doesn't nap anymore.

When my daughter was young we use to watch this show called "Little Bear" and like clockwork I'd doze off. Great little naps.

Ah, I recall that show from Nick Jr.

I'm watching Michigan give up a nice lead that it had, they can't buy hoop inside right now. Frustrating.

Edit:

I was sweating there for a few minutes they couldn't make free throw at the end. They pulled it off though.

Ready to go

Me to. I was hoping John would post last night, since he tends to get on late night.

Waiting on John. ;)

The issue of using an evil descriptor spell, or magic item, by a good or neutral character of good deity came up in one of my other games.

Specifically the Infernal Healing spell that Orsin requested and I know he had no issue with the way Talbard handled it in game. I did some research last night on this issue and Sean Reynolds, designer, has weighed in on this topic. In essence, a good character or a neutral character of a good deity can not use those items, even if it is for a good deed. I really don't want to get into the philosophical debate you can read the links where the designer discussed it for yourself. Here is the link to my other game where I compiled Sean Reynolds comments/links:

LINK to the use of an Evil spell, or magic item, is an evil act

This hasn't been an issue in this game but I thought I'd post it in case anyone is interested.

Waiting on John. ;)

I'll DMPC John at the end of the Round if he hasn't acted, basically he would follow Daniel and the others. It is not lawful to kidnap.

Time for a Celestial Rhino to do a little mook bowling.

So you are wanting a rhino to charge the door? Or you want a tank to jump out front?

Best to adjust your stat line HP

Well I think an idea was for a rhino to bust down the front door/side door and draw fire while we charge in, the guards seem to be in between us and the door.

I'm moving the ground guards up simply to adjust how many rounds it will be to engage in melee.

I'm pretty sure planning to rape and murder isn't lawful either.

Nothing like an arrow to the face and a sword to the gut to get the point across. *fist pump*

Lucrezia you can take your action if you want.

Posting will be light today. With family.

Well... everyone else must be busy.

Here. Just came back from dinner.

Edit. Awesome place for Hamburgers and Fries is Five Guys. Free toppings on your burger/dog!

Oh, a bit busy with the kids and hubby, but I managed a post. :)

Busy with family today.

This is my Deity's Paladin code from The FoP book.

I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart to guide it, it is worthless. My strength is in my heart, not my sword. It I lose my blade I have lost a tool. If I lose my heart, I have died.

I will have faith in my god. I channel her. I shine in her army. I will not tarnish her through base actions.

I am first into battle and last to leave

I will not be taken prisoner by my free will. I will not surrender those under my charge

I will never abandon my companion but I will honor sacrifice freely given.

I will guard the honor of my fellows, I will have faith in them.

When in doubt I may force my enemies to surrender, but I am responsible for them.

I will never refuse a challenge from an equal. I will give honor to worthy enemies and CONTEMPT to the rest

I will suffer death before dishonor.

I have bolded the parts which may effect my char decisions, please bear with me.
