Orsin let me look at your request in the morning.
Sounds good. :)
Hey Andrea,
Do you think you'll continue to cast bless in future encounters? I'm thinking of picking up heroism, but the bonuses wouldn't stack. Thoughts?
It could come in handy when Heroism is dispeled or runs out

Another Judgement per day
More Damage on Destructive Smite (+2)
Knowledgeable Defence (+2)
7 skill points
DM what time does the night beast come around? Whose watch?
If it's a +1 Breastplate, Duncan would have checked if anyone (except the two new people) wanted it, and would give it up, Probably grumbling something about doin' all the bleeding.
He doesn't care for any of the weapons specifically is happy for the new guys to equip themselves but doesn't see them as needing a share of the spoils (since atm they are just rescuees
That was Andrea playing around with the an avatar, no night beasts come by that evening.
That does conclude the first AP! We did mange to bring a few side plots to some resolution: the most significant being the missing Grulios Noble; and some, -not all - of the missing noble hooks. The link between why the Grulios and the Missepi families are being targeted still remains to be investigated.
The goblinking was resolved successfully.
The group is gaining in fame and has made its share of enemies.
You've begun to uncover some of corruption and people behind it. You've met allies and some nobles that want things to change. The second leg of the journey begins...
I am still not feeling great so going to take a nap.
So the Lucrezia and Tweaker, I will spend some time helping to develop your characters in out of combat situations. I like to use this time for role playing the character's non-combat side and to investigate rumors/stories.
I'll let you all be as creative as you choose to be.
Was I detailed enough about the Mermaid's Grotto or is there anything I should add about it before people meet there for drinks?
yay! First AP down! Hope we make it through the second with all our limbs and levels.
You were plenty detailed with your background actually, I have some ideas about the slaves that can develop. Plenty of excellent material to work with.
.
I tried to leave my story open. Something happened in the Fens as a child. I have also done some traveling without meaning to. Just sort wandered a trail and ended up away from Westcrown for a few years. My mother (human) never spoke about my father so I know nothing of him. My mother died right before I wandered the road.
Figure that would allow some freedom to develop over having to twist things to fit into something that works for the campaign.
Don't sweat not being on mcuh today. Its some down time, I want to work on Orsin, Tweaker and Lucrezia's backgrounds.
So we will eventually be able to Identify everything we pulled in? I'd like to sell the normal equipment off and add it to the cash before others pick through the magic stuff.
We can sell the unwanted magic items for cash or perhaps donate them to the Brotherhood members for them to use. I plan on purchasing a CLW wand for Fiosa.
Do the normal course...calculate the 50% value of the mundane gear and divide that. After we can get the other items identified wiht a few checks.
Well, I'll sitting in my recliner the rest of the night with my laptop beside me. My five year decided to throw a really big rock that landed on my foot. So I'm taking it easy and keeping it propped up for the night.
Obviously it was his way of telling you to game tonight.
Andrea I have no problem with you shifting your alignment to CG, you play the character as a good character. Because your deity is CN, you should drift to the Chaotic axis rather than the N. Although you are probably closer to NG which is very Robin Hood like.
When we shifted your deity from Urgathoa I wanted to make the move reasonable and not too drastic.
Couldn't he have found a less painful way to tell me to game tonight? :)

Ok I will keep that in mind and re read the alignment descriptions I am thinking of Andrea becoming a hendoist who engages in good clean(for the most part) pleasures, making herself a temple of joy(and making other people temples. ;)
I don't see her ever going to Shelyn(Although it might be funny in an alternate reality scene where Shelyn trolls Calistria) Since Andrea loves her partying and will be channeling it in more healthy ways.
Couldn't he have found a less painful way to tell me to game tonight? :)
Don't forget to change your stat line for your new level.
D'oh!
Fixed now. :)
I'm off to my RL game. Be back later.
Not sure how you wanna handle me giving Ermolos the best magic armor we found. Take it from my cut. I was a bad boy and my deity took exception
Doesn't matter to me. You can hash it out with John the follower of Asmodeus.
Oh... Looks like Andrea is going to dish out some good old fashioned vengeance if Tracy got hurt. :( Or hell, the other girls as well.
*cracks scourge*
Doesn't matter to me. You can hash it out with John the follower of Asmodeus.
Ah, he wants fullplate
Remember Fiosa does not like slavery. Lucrezia's slave background fits in perfectly.
I know Duncan works for 18 hours straight. The others are still getting settled after the bastards.
I was planning on some light hearted diring and debauchery at the Mermaid's Grotto and then the next day the group meets up with the noble family at their estate. That is would put it acouple hours after Duncan finishes his hammering.
Debauchery is acceptable.
Wooo!
Now I have to determine what the DC is to convince someone into a 3-some without getting beaned with a dish.
*concentrating on the loot*
Oh. I typically figure out loot that we have gotten from fights. I lump up common coins and auto-sell plain equipment unless someone really needs the. I also sell gems. Magic items get offered for people to look over and then they get sold.
I pay 20 gold to have the Westcrown Exchange sell valuables and we also tend to throw money into the debt till to pay off a raise ddead debt.
Remember Fiosa does not like slavery. Lucrezia's slave background fits in perfectly.
Well we COULD buy their freedom but why the heck should we pay a slave beater? He might have dirt on him for blackmail material. Buying him out is way too much, and arranging an accident is too evil.
I think you'll get beaned regardless. The question should be can you get her to agree to it. :)
The group incurred a debt raising a dead dottari guard. That is a big reason why the one squad you all ran into today really likes the group. The raised dottari is a member of that squad. The other squad that ws there is part of the overall corruption in the city that is why they snickered at you.
Ah, gotcha. :)

Well Andrea was thinking about starting a secret brothel/revelry hall for those caught out before dark. A small donation gets you a sleeping roll and there is lots of music and other pleasures to keep the fear of the shadowbeasts away.
I will make you an outfit that will be the talk of the town all season." Smiling and using a cane to get around his busy shop. Rusty, the fighter, is there helping out and seems genuinely content right now.
This reminds me, we need to get Rusty his flail hand! :)
Orsin the Famous diva is fine with me.
I have been dealing with paperwork from being t-boned in March and trying to get internet connection on wife's computer. Been rough day. Will try and catch up.
Does ermolos react at all to the gift?
I know Duncan fell asleep and everyone else's stuff is on now.
When he wakes , hopefully all is well with his patron. Regardless he will don his old chainmail and chat with Grimm about the Council of thieves.
