...none of which was from combat....
Yikes! Combat was the possibility that made me guess soldier. Are you just unlucky?
If you are in a place that this kind of thing happens a lot I hope you are able to get out of there.

Depends on how you look at it. Yes I have been shot 5 times but each time i got away with out life altering or ending injuries.
My grandmother told me i have an angel looking out for me...it just looks away when ever i get cocky so i don't forget im still human lol
And i took the last few shots when i was visiting my ranch...long story short dont make enemies in your youth and if you SETTLE it before you let hate fester for years....

Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another.
To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to my status. So if I am missing for a time, just go ahead and click on the link in my Avatar and you will be able to ascertain my board status.
My sincerest apologies if this is a bit of an inconvenience where you are waiting on me for an action but posting "I will be away for the next 3 days" 47 times (or more) is just not working for me any longer. Thank you for your understanding!
hey, so just in case you missed it:
you're 6th level, now
buy your new gear.
make merry.
Remember, to use ABP and 1/2 wealth for level (the artifacts i gave you don't count towards this)
updated characters go into effect as soon as i have them.

Woot!
For Automatic Bonus Progression, we get +2 to a mental stat. Can we switch that to a physical stat and get the mental one next level?

Yes you can!
So does Arkhan go to 5th?
Awesome!
Okay, update is done except for gear.
So our total wealth should be going from 5250 to 8000 gp. I'll start looking at stuff.
DM, do the extra powers of my circlet we discussed way back when kick in now or at the end of this arc?
Kern has been updated. The most notable change was increasing Grell's effective level by 1, and taking Intimidating Prowess with her so that she uses Strength for Intimidate.
I leveled to 5th...
Dragon: could Arkhan find a Rod of Rime, lesser (3000gp)?
Jugag should be updated. Combination of a pair of wands and Manyshot turned him into kinda a monster. Especially when favored enemies come into play.

Wait, everyone should be the level i told them (so Arkhan, you should be the same level as everyone else--6th)
if you can afford the rod of Rime, you can totes take it.
@Choot, your circlet can take effect now, however you want it to get empowered is up to you
awesomesauce. it's quite late on my end (boyfriend took longer than i thought). I'll update games tomorrow.
Anyone have suggestions for items? Most of the ones I would usually get are replaced by the ABP.
Sorcerer Level 3 -
+1 BAB - +1 Fortitude & Reflex Saves.
ABP - +2 Wis - +1 DC Cleric Spells & +1 Will saves.
+1 Concentration
Skills Increases - +1 to Perception Sense Motive, & Stealth.
Bloodline Powers - Cold resistance 5 and a +1 natural armor bonus to AC.
Bloodline Spell - Ray of Enfeeblement.
The Phylactery of Fate becomes fully activated!
1) Functions as Phylactery of Negative Energy channeling.
2) Allows wielder to also channel positive energy of 2d6 3x day.
3) Grants the fear Selective Channeling to the wielder.
And
4) 1× day the wielder can cast Aid or Death Knell.
Magic Item: Ring of Sustenance & Dust of Tracelessness.
My spell selection.
School necromancy [evil, pain]; Level inquisitor 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1
Casting Time 1 round
Components V, S
Range touch
Target living creature touched
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates; Spell Resistance yes
You question the target, backed up by the threat of magical pain. You may ask one question per two caster levels. The target can either answer the question or take 1d4 points of damage plus your Wisdom bonus. The target is not compelled to answer truthfully, but the threat of pain gives it a –4 penalty on Bluff checks to convince you when it is lying.
Will update my Avatar later heading to lunch now.

There are a few inexpensive rings that are helpful to increase physical skills, ring of Feather Falling, perhaps a minor wondrous item?
Arkhan has been only 4th this entire time. In the recruitment thread you stated make a 4th level pc.
If he was supposed to already be 5th I apologize to the group; my mistake.
I will level him to 6th today (big level!)
Also with this last hoard, and about 250gp out of pocket, he can afford the rod.
Any way we can have a scroll that Cures Blindness in the treasure found within or will Thoku's blind trials continue? :-)
Also, who is claiming that sword? Thoku as Chief though his weapons seem to favor the Natural weapon variety.

It would be wasted on Jugag. He's decent in melee when he has to be, but 90% of the time he wants to either be at range or be moving to get at range. I think he's used his greataxe once and his earthbreaker never.
Arkhan is 6th!
I have included the Automatic Bonus Progression in his stats.
I also included gp from level 4 to 5.
@Dragon
Would you still allow Arkhan to train out of a feat and a trait?
I was unsure how Elemental magic feat and Magical lineage (call lightning) would work together; and with having taken Weather domain, Lightning Lord is better option.
Most likely go with Spell Focus (evocation) and, perhaps, Transmuter trait, if approved.
@Arkhan.. i think i probably screwed things up.. but yes, you're 6th level. trading out a feat and trait is fine.
@Choot: yes a scroll of cure blindness can magically appear. Since one of the crones in the Tribe can easily cure it.
Thank you. I will finalize him after work.
Oh cool we leveled and now i have even more money that i wont use....also about the sword if none of us have a reason to use it. I have an idea, i could give it to the strongest of the stone children and i could bless him/her with my blood you know add to the story of the tribe. What do you think?
-Posted with Wayfinder
I get the sense that at least one of the PCs should wield that particular weapon. :-)
Ok. He should be all caught up....now, I just need to decide on which large (fiendish/celestrial) animal that he wants to be....
He also found a Pearl of Power 1st inside the druid vestments.
I get the sense that at least one of the PCs should wield that particular weapon. :-)
*whistles while walking away*
BTW are we able to analyze the weapon? We don't know what it does yet.
Ya.. you can. i had a silly thought that i should wait for someone to decalre that they're investigating the sword... when i haven't set the precedent before.
Reading those spoilers thanks to Choot's insight... HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME. We need to make good use of that thing and get ourselves three giant thralls! :-D
Ill get a post up after physical therapy today

yaya!
I've lost track of the plot a bit, what are the choices from here DM?
Good idea, it's been awhile
At the beginning, you guys were celebrating the annual festival of Flood Truce. The winter snows had melted, filling the dry riverbed known as the Flood Road, and bringing grass and the herds with it. It's a wonderful time of year, filled with feats of strength, debauchery, ritual scarification and torture, and cannibalism. During this time, you ran afoul of the Twisted Nail Tribe, and learned that they were up to some shenanigans off in the Conquered Lands (where Trunau is). Since you had declared Blood Feud against them and formed your own tribe (the Bleeding Storm, cool name), you were pretty much morally opposed to anything they did, and felt the need to smack them up good. Plus, they wanted a massive treasure and you wanted that for yourself. Again, because you hate them for... reasons (you're orcs, they're different orcs, 'nuff said).
You went to Trunau, and after sneaking your way in all sneaky like (and totally scaring the crap out of some Twisted Nail orcs), you managed to manipulate the Twisted Nail's scheme to invade Trunau to your advantage. You managed to get into the tomb first and won some awesome gear (and artifacts!)
namely:
1) a geode that's actually 1/2 a map to even MORE awesome treasure.
2) a magical re-sizing breastplate
3) a magical re-sizing hammer that does many many things
4) a bone kilt (choot should still have this)
You got out of the tomb and killed the local member of the Twisted Nail who had invaded Trunau (and conquered it) thus, winning Trunau for yourself, and most of the guy's tribe. Thoku started crafting a bone throne of orc-commanding, Kern did some eugenic stuff and ... Choot learned of an awesome artifact that could help the Tribe defeat the giant warriors of the Twisted Nail (and the ritual that would open the door to the demiplane where it was). Thoku learned that all of this was the plan of Grendlesleck, the crazy-pants hill-giantess who has taken over the ruined human fortress of Red Lake Fort with her Twisted Nail orc and Giant/ogre army. You also learned that the orcs don't like the giants because, shocker, the giants/ogres are lording it over the orcs.
You went in to the demiplane to get Varg's Thorn (the weapon against giants, it does cool stuff like control giants if you hit them with it). Hakak died along the way, and you picked up Jugag. Shakraal, for some reason, stayed back with the tribe. You won. Got Varg's Thorn, and picked up the crone Ewigga. Also, created a crazy pool of black flame and spirits after murderating a bunch of orcs and other thigns in a ritual to empower a magical goblin head latnern thing.
This brings you up to now.
"We got what we came for. We should leave this place in peace now, my chief." Kern says to Thoku. "The longer we stay, the more we risk awakening something that we would have no wish to battle."
Of yes and yes picked up this weird guy who seems to really like thunder bolts and lightning (Galileo, Galileo!)
Well played, Dragon.
Sorry everyone I've been dealing with Court issues, the piece of crap who attacked me is pressing charges on me now because I attacked him after he shot me..... my recovery coming along at a good pace at least that's what my physical therapist says. Just getting extra headaches from having to deal with this stuff at court. My lawyer reassures me everything will go my way as he's the primary attacker and i was defending my life but its a headache ......in a fun note i love how my throne is carried...i still need to level but ill post ether to day or tomorrow night

Yeesh! Thanks for keeping us posted and take it easy!
Alright, poll time.
Who is in favor of drowning the orcs and then sticking it to the giants?
Who is in favor of getting the orcs on your side and staging a coup against the giants?
Who's in favor of just storming the gates and killing everything in your path?
I'm sure there's another option I haven't thought of.
let's have voting be done by Friday afternoon
I think my idea is idea 2 :-)

Jugag drowning would be really funny, but he's also cool with murder.
Arkhan thinks drowning would be really funny also!
#2 increases the size of the horde, so that is good. But if we can get the orcs to desert and then flood the place anyway, that would also be cool.
So I vote #2 unless we can combo #2 and #1.
AAAAARRRRGggg sorry thank you all for being so patient with me...im hate this so much...
right well my main goal is to unite the orcs under one hoard so im good for 2
Deception is funny too. Combining both plans sounds good. Convincing the orcs that the giants are going to betray them and tricking (sword) the giants into thinking the orcs are having a coup would be fun.
We can try to have both sides confront each other in the moat by the dam...lol.
I'm up for voting for #2 as well.
Ok looks like:
Ozak, Kern, Thoku, Choot: #2
Arkhan, Jugag: #1
#2 wins (along with creating some kind of internal chaos in the fort)
