BrOp's "Cult of the Ebon Destroyers" (PFS) (Inactive)

Game Master Branding Opportunity

Hi folks and welcome to the OOC/Discussion threat of our PFS play-by-post game of "Cult of the Ebon Destroyers.

If you click on my avatar, you will see that I am keeping track of certain elements of our game there.

As always, please feel free to post your questions about the game here, so we don't clutter up our IC thread with OOC matter.

Enjoy!

Well, I don't think you noticed this on my character sheet, but just so it doesnt shock anyone, Daxter has a familiar. Its an Aeon, named Hermes.
To the average onlooker, its a floating ball of light surrounded by crystals.

Link for you GM.

I had noticed him/her, actually. Have you read up on that race, and its history as a petitioner before that?

I have read up on that particular creature. I dont know what you mean by the 2nd part.

I too was lax with the final details.

Ursus is going to spend some of his remaining gold purchasing a backpack, rope, furs, and a wand of CLW.

I have read up on that particular creature. I dont know what you mean by the 2nd part.

Just that all aeons (and most outsiders in general) are made from the souls of mortals, and in very rare instances, retain some memory of their mortal lives.

I read through it and i dont remember seeing that, but that is interesting.

It's in the Bestiary 2 entry for Petitioners.

Ah ok, Ive been using the PRD.

Hello, everyone! I'm glad to play with you all again!

Reporting back, really looking forward to this. Btw., any more interesting animal companions in the Bestiary which I might have missed?

Aquila will do the following 'breakfast' spells (cast every morning):

Garra:
(Extended) Greater magic fang on bite (16 hours)
(Extended) Greater magic fang on left claw (16 hours)
(Extended) Greater magic fang on right claw (16 hours)
Ant haul (8 hours)

Aquila:
Longstrider (8 hours)

During our seajourney Aquila will have a slightly altered spell list (more waterbreathing stuff for example). I'll post details later.

Daxter. Would it be possible that you cast Mage Armor on Aquila every morning?

I suppose I could, though if you had your own pearl of power...

Spells I keep up

Daxter
(Extended) Mage Armor(16 Hours)
(Extended) False Life(16 Hours)

Hermes
(Extended) Mage Armor(16 Hours)

False Life

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

I suppose I could, though if you had your own pearl of power...

I'll get one ASAP. 'Bought' my equipment before you decided to tag along.

Aquila, your character sheet lists you as being broke. Does that mean you want to "trade in" some of your items? I'll let you grandfather them in and replace anything at full price (i.e. it will be done OOC, so you don't have to sell an item for half price).

Ok, thanks! I'll get rid of some of the arcane scrolls I took as backup! I'll send you the details!

Looking through I noticed I haven't played high level for a long time. Esp. never a druid.
Will be missing a leesser rod of extend. Nevertheless, I will be learning along the way.

Guys, I feel a little stupid for saying this, but let's remember that this is just a game. The IC conversation about freedom and stuff has IMO gotten a little heated, and I just want to make sure that people are making the argument in character and not getting personally involved. We choose to play in a world like Golarion where difficult issues like slavery, prostitution, and the like are not swept under the rug; it make it feel more "real" and adult. Tricky issues are bound to come out, but let's just remember: this is just a game, and we're all here to have fun.

Let me put it another way: I'm might be playing characters that want to kill you and eat your livers with fava beans and a nice chianti. That doesn't mean that I (Alex) want that or personally condone that sort of action (I much prefer liver and onions).

Please excuse me if I have overstepped my bounds or have mistaken intentions. I'm just trying to keep things running smoothly.

I know! My other characters would actually totally be on the other side of the argument. But as Aquila has been a slave himself he has a hard time accepting that slavery is a fact in Golarion and will do his utmost best to change this. (I know that Aquila's actions won't banish slavery any time soon, but he can try!)

Out of character(s): I'm against slavery! ;-)

lol

I think it's safe to assume we're all decidedly anti-slavery. It seemed pretty clear that was an in-character discussion.

Indeed, this is pretty fun, i haven't had a good back and forth in a long time. My wizard isn't necessarily for it either, he just sees the usefulness it has in society. And out of character, I am against it, but I like arguing. :)

Totally. And forced marriage, ugh. I just thought about how a PC from the southern regions might think about it, and esp., as this is still custom in some parts of our world (unfortunately).

I was getting a bit worried myself. Montesquieu on the other hand is just looking for opportunities to stir up a little trouble. : )

I didn't worried at all. This is what roleplaying is: players actiong like his characters, reflexing the character likes and dislikes, not his own.

Glad to hear that everyone is okay. I guess I worry a lot, sorry about that.

Hi, so as I mentioned back in our old OOC thread, I will be out of town for the next week visiting my family. I may post from time to time, but probably won't be able to do it with much regularity. I will be back to regular posting on 3/26.

Happy week!

Have fun with your family!

Have a good time!

Welcome back.

Will the fun resume today or on Monday?

Just got back this evening, but am exhausted, so unfortunately, will not be posting until tomorrow (Sunday 3/27). On the positive side, my friend Mark gave me a tour of the empty Paizo office today, so that was very cool.

A domani!

And I'm back!

Mark? Mark Moreland?

Mark? Mark Moreland?

Yes, indeed.

You have good friends in the industry, Branding. Indeed.

What's the general composition of this group of beggars?

Men, women, children, etc?

Mostly men, a few women and children.

I can really recommend the BBC series The story of India. Very good documentary about India.

Guys, I'm very sorry. I have been too busy in the office. I have not told you anything about that. And I should have done it.

I'm returning to a normal posting rate again. Wow... 40 post to read... I have work to do here ^_^

I was busy over the weekend, but am now back.

Am away til Monday, so if you need to NPC Farouq just go ahead.

After looking at the rules of the Elemental Ladder (it's from an old d20 publication), I realized that it's not much of a challenge for characters of your level, so I will gloss over it slightly. Suffice it to say that your Climb checks are high enough to master the elemental ladder with ease.

Bummer.

And after Ursus spent so much time working up the crowd.

Yeah, sorry about that, but I just couldn't figure out how to make it work well with you guys.

I am away until Monday, so will catch up then.

Considering how much they fought when we tried to wear our magical clothing inside I can't believe they let the lion in.

Heh, yeah, I kind of forgot about the lion. Ooops. :)

So, is nobody going to pitch something, or should we just bypass the in-character negotiation and go straight to the investigation?

I don't think anyone has any specific requests.

Let the adventure begin!

Agreed.

OK, once you finish asking Lord Pandisar any questions, you can all get on your way.

Question: What pictures do you want me to use for your characters once we start combat? Do you just want me to use the avatar pictures from these boards? Also, what pix do you want me to use for the eagle and lion?

For now, the same ones you used for Delirium's Tangle would be ok. Things might change when I get my character sketch.

And I have to agree, after > 200 posts I think it's ok to start the adventure! ;-)
