It's a busy time of year in general. I am happy to give Asmodina some time to recover from whatever is up over there. I'll just keep an eye on the news feed.
Has anyone attempted to PM Asmodina yet? I can do that if no one has...
Be my guest.
Radio silence so far...
Hi folks. I'm just doing an update for the Wardens over on our linked game. I'm going to send a poke to your DM Asmodina to see what's up.
If I don't hear back, I'm going to step in and offer to run this game too.
That'd be lovely, thanks. :)
We would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks, that would be very kind of you!
Thanks, Azura. Much appreciated.
Hey folks! It looks like your DM stopped posting on Dec. 8th. It wasn't an account ban, just a disappearance. Could be anything - computer trouble, loss of internet connection, got sick, whatever.
Anyway, I'm going on vacation like many other folks, and I will return home on the 27th. If nothing has changed by the 28th I will send a message to Paizo and offer to take over this campaign.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year to all you ladies, NBs and gentlemen!
No sign of Asmodina, so I am now petitioning Paizo to let me pick up this game.
Alrighty then.
Thank you, Azura!
Thank you. Maybe we will level within the year?
TRANSFER COMPLETE!
(Now I just need to read the adventure)
A little about me as a DM:
• I usually try to update every day. Sometimes my schedule is erratic, either due to work, or having to travel (visiting relatives, camping, etc.). I generally try to give advance notice if I'll be away for a while, but sometimes I wind up out of town and don't have internet access, so if I'm gone for 3-4 days it probably just means I'm camping somewhere and my tablet isn't getting signal when I thought it would.
• I'm currently running four other games and I'm pretty much at my limit!
• I've not run Wrath of the Righteous before, so this will be new for all of us!
• I've also not used mythic stuff before. I hear that it is considered "broken." I think as long as we are having fun and telling a good story it's not "broken."
• I'm usually pretty good about PF rules knowledge, but I tend to feel that rules are for cases where you need some kind of arbitration. I may occasionally simply say "If you have X ranks of skill, read this spoiler" or "Yeah you can do that, no roll required" if I think it is something for which relying on randomness is unwarranted.
• I generally use Roll20 for maps. I'll try to set up a new page shortly for this campaign.
Time to get crackin'! (By which I mean, figuring out from the gameplay thread where you are now)
Sound off please so I can make sure that everyone is still here! (If you haven't already posted in the last couple days like Telerin, Arloric, and Alexa)
Checking in!
Alexa, reporting in.
Still here.
Green Leader, standing by!
Incidentally, something I need to discuss with our new GM: When Asmodina was running this, I asked them if I could change Red-Branch from a megaloceros to a woolly rhinoceros, and that was approved. However, upon closer examination it turns out that woolly rhinoceri don't count as Megafauna, which I'm required to have as an animal companion due to being a Goliath Druid (it's either that or a dinosaur, but we're a little far from Tolguth, which is on the opposite end of the Worldwound from us). May I undo my adjustment, considering we haven't seen Red-Branch in-game yet and thus effectively have nothing to really retcon?
Present!
Reporting in.
We haven't done much yet, battled a couple of bugs and just finished cleaning up a shrine of Torag. We're basically at what I can only assume to be the very beginning of the adventure.
I've read this part of the adventure and you are almost out of the first part. The party is currently at 550 xp.
Woo hoo! We are up and running again!
Hooray
At last! At long last!
Sorry I wasn't on yesterday or earlier today, I went to a co-worker's husband's funeral yesterday and an ordination today.
Since it's New Year now, I'll also be out late, of course - I'll try to check in. :)
It's my turn to officially say...
"Happy New Year!"
Happy New Year! Azura, did you see my earlier question regarding Red-Branch? I was also wondering if I could change Arloric's archetype from Goliath Druid to Menhir Savant, before we begin advancing in levels and stuff. Arloric had been initially built as a Nature Fang and then shifted to Goliath Druid. I want this to be my final alterations to him before the adventure begins in earnest. I promise I will NOT make any more tweaks to him beyond this.
Happy new year guys! Sorry, got a bit caught up between work and new year celebrations... should be back on board now!
Not to sound like a parrot mimicking a broken record...but did you see my questions, Azura?
Not to sound like a parrot mimicking a broken record...but did you see my questions, Azura?
Yes, I just haven't had a good time to get into detail.
If you switch to a menhir savant, the animal companion issue basically is not as important because there's no specific benefit or restriction on animal companions for that archetype.
I've no problem with changing that over - I have a few other tweaks in mind when you make it to level 2, anyway. (Nothing bad.)
I think I'll still keep him as a megaloceros, though. When I visited my brother in Ireland we went to the Museum of Natural History in Dublin and I got to see some fossilized megaloceros skeletons and was inspired!
Back to school. Should be more active now.
Wow, my luck is TERRIBLE in this fight. >:(
Depending on how this goes, I may need to channel to boost my chances of surviving the next round of grappled+constriction. Casting carries a significant risk of losing the spell, and I don't like my odds of breaking free.
Do what you have to to keep yourself alive man! I can heal in a pinch too! :(
I now officially hate darkmantles.
Nasty creatures
Being grabbed at L1 is pretty darned lethal. :( I am still hoping Uriel can put a dent in this one before I go. If I have to channel, it's going to heal everyone, including them.
Yeah, bad news, and the NPCs can't see in the dark either!
FINALLY! >:)
Well...this is gonna sound awkward but...with the new Healer's Handbook there's a new archetype that I think might want to switch Arloric to. It's called the Nature Priest, and it centers on drawing power both from nature and a god. It requires you to be within one step of whatever god you pick, and so it could work for Iomedae...which makes a certain amount of sense, synthesizing the ancient Sarkorian druid traditions with the Iomedean faith all around him in Kenabres. If I provided the details of the archetype, could I switch Arloric to it instead of Menhir Savant? And if I did, could I still take Green Faith Acolyte as he's following Iomedae and the Green Faith simultaneously? Would that be okay with you GM Azura? With everyone in the gang?
I should have the book next week, I'll check it out then.
I found a new Prestige class I'll definitely be building Uriel towards: Crimson Templar it'll take until 7th satisfy the feat prereqs, but that's fine. Super thematic for a paladin of Ragathiel, and even more so in this AP.
I. Freaking. LOVE that prestige class! GO FOR IT!!!
Out of town this weekend. Will try to catch up with you guys tomorrow; Monday at the latest.
Thank you for the update, Azura!
