Another long week, 11 fights in like 4 days.
Damn!
Next level I'll be going into Crimson Templar and will be able to fly 1/day for minutes/class level, but until then? Nope.
That is a great PRC!
At 11th level I might take the Angel wings feat
I won't be able to fly until I'm thoroughly in the Green Faith Acolyte PrC, which'll give me Wild Shape!
I wonder if she would have time to make wings of flying?
Hey folks. My computer went on the fritz Monday. It’s in the shop now, should be out late this week (hopefully). I hate posting on mobile, but I’ll do my best to keep up.
Oh no, haven't you had issues with your tech in the past?

Darya rolled 6s on all of her damage dice. ;)
Do we have a bag of holding?
Nope. Only been mentioned once in the discussion the ad before this as a good idea, and in gameplay Nurah had one
Made a little edit to my post.
We may need to go shopping after this, lol!
Will Kelly be staying behind, more in the rank and file of the army now? Where does that leave the group in terms of access to skills and abilities?
Moving this to the Discussion thread.
You should be fine. You have enough combat power, arcane casting, and buff/debuff support, plus a reasonable level of healing. I plan to use Sosiel to fill in the gaps that you have in divine casting when it's feasible to do so.
I'll rebalance encounters as needed. So far you have been dealing with things just fine, even with the difficulty knob turning up (the last combat with the nabasu ended quickly thanks to lucky die rolls, but it had a harrowing start with equally unlucky ones...)

I need to take a few more combat spells.
Geez, my last post was an exercise in poor grammar...

Kinda wish I was rolling this well when combat was going down...
Still, a natural 20 for drawing!
Hard to argue with that as a result. I interpret such a high roll in this case as, "you can make the drawing very quickly, producing a very accurate image from memory in very little time".
I kind of wish the skill system worked more like that. High rolls allow you to meet DC's with less effort, less time, more grace, etc. Then absurdly high rolls would be somewhat meaningful, reflecting a skilled person's ability to make certain tasks look easy.
My cat had a tooth removed yesterday so I was at the vet's most of the morning and then spent the afternoon making sure he was okay.
Awwww, kitty! D:
Hope he gets well soon!
It is almost time--past time, really, but I've been lazy--to create a new thread for this game. One whose name matches where we are in the books. :) I'll title it "The Siege of Drezen" since that is more descriptive than "Sword of Valor".
Okay. Just let us know when it's up.
NOOOO! We will lose our history here, lol
we can always link this thread in campaign info
That is true.
Hard to believe we are almost 5 years into this.

I am in this for the long haul. Thanks to everyone who has stayed with it.

And hey, looks like it was my turn to roll three 6s on my damage dice! :D
Nice damage roll there. :)
The succubus wasn't supposed to end up at the bottom of the initiative order. :P
It gets better. Everybody goes before her....and now a room full of warriors all get sneak-attack
Have we regained spells?
This is the next day so yeah
Hooray
Been very busy this week so far and have a commitment again tonight, so I may not get a chance to update until Wednesday.
Take your time! <3

Yes and no. :)
I am using Nurah's backstory mostly straight from the book, filling it out a bit to make her more than one-dimensional. As written, her story arc is pretty thin, and not particularly believable.
The precise timing is a coincidence, as I worked out the timeline for Nurah using the dates for the previous crusades. But I did use pieces of Alexa's backstory with Hulrun to put things together in a way that was consistent.

Rather than do exposition through a giant wall of text, I'm going to break this up so that your characters have a chance to ask questions as we go.
FYI. I did get this slightly wrong, but not in a way that impacted the fight. Protection from Evil will completely block new attempts at mental control.
This is certainly different from how Nurah reveals her story in the PC game!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
As written, she is not very believable. She admires the demons for their strength and power, yet somehow the PC's come along and that changes. It makes her sound fickle, and that what she respects is the power itself, not who wields it. That's not really a redemption story, and redemption is supposed to be a theme of the campaign.
So I took advice from another GM and made it about vulnerability and safety. Who could protect her, and what would be the consequences of accepting that protection?
Yeah, the game has her be much more cynical and spiteful. What's notable is you can't get through to her with goody-goody redemption responses and stuff, which she just laughs off, but basically agreeing with her (via Trickster dialogue options) that both the demons and crusaders need to be taken down a peg, so you let her escape back to the enemy, but she begins sabotaging them too.
If anyone's got a fondness for the Magus class, just released this with new options for PF1

I love magi!
My all-around favorite class
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are in the U.S.!
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Post coming later today. I am finishing up the scouting map that you get from Aron and Anevia as you reach Drezen. I'm also going to create the new gameplay thread at that time.
