But will there be pie? GM Hmm's Tengus and Tomes (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

Here is a brand new discussion thread! Be sure to dot and delete our gameplay too!

I didn't dot and delete - I made an IC 'chat' post... hope that's okay.

That is totally fine!

By the way, here I am dressed as Sheila Heidmarch before we GMed Race for the Runecarved Key!

Hmm

awesome bit of cosplay costuming! love it! I can totally see Sheila Heidmarch dressed just like that!

That's awesome, I'll see what I can do about getting a chronicle on Sarano before we start this adventure.

That sounds great. Do you know when do we want to officially start?

Hmm

i can start any time, but posting will be spotty til monday... sounds like we might want to give Sarano a chance to level up.

I want to get in another scenario this Sunday. After that I am ready.

Okay, both Stali and Sarano got their chronicles. I will try to get us started up! Does anyone else need anything we start?

Hmm

I need to make sure my character is actually ready to go now that I got back from the convention.

Well, I haven't kicked off the scenario box text yet... That is part of the reason why I'm giving you a little time wandering around Vellumis. I wanted to make sure everyone is ready.

Also...

We have a problem. I forgot that the group going on the train to Paizo Con asked Bret and me to reserve 'On the Blighted Path' for them. They did this over two months ago.

This means that I cannot GM it for you guys immediately after Tome. Even if we waited until after Paizocon, Bret would have to burn 3 stars to play it with you guys.

So... Barring star replays, I think that our reunion game after Tome will either have to wait for another brand new 3-7 scenario or some module sanctioning. Or Tome will be our last joint adventure, unless anyone else knows of other options on the horizon?

I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Hmm

Maybe we could do some appropriate levels of emerald spire? or pick up book 2 or 3 of an ap?

...or reserve Seers of the Drowned City for when it gets sanctioned. Everyone would want to get to 5th level and not go beyond 7th. If they keep to their normal pattern, that adventure would be 5-7 once sanctioned.

Yes, Book 2 of Shattered Star is an option. But wouldn't that have been more disruptive to you guys to play it without Book 1? I'm just so bummed that our original plan went astray.

EDIT: Seers of the Drowned City could be VERY interesting. It's sandboxy, which I love, and it's by the author of Sun Orchid Solution.

Hmm

I'm pretty flexible! So whatever we end up doing, I'm down for it!

Chak is updated.

A few purchases made between adventures:

Starting Prestige... 15
Farmstead... -5
Senechal... -2
Remaining Prestige... 8

Starting Gold... 5210
Upgrade breastplate to +1... -1000
Upgrade nodachi to +1... -2000
Upgrade longbow to +1... -2000
Remaining Gold... 210

You bought a farm, Chak?

Hmm

I did, just like I said I would. Somewhere on the outskirts of Ilsurian where they can live and help me run my shop when I'm adventuring for the Society.

I should probably make some purchases. . .I have like 6k gold. .

I just don't know what I should buy

@Chak: That is AWESOME.

@Sarano: Defenses, survival supplies and pages of spells known. There are a bunch of first level spells which you could probably make use of. Wands might be good, too.

@Sarano,

Pages of Spell Knowledge tend to be well worth the money on a Sorcerer. You don't have many SoS spells, so increasing Charisma isn't critical. Some sort of defenses would be good.

Ha, I am a ninja. That is why I wear the snazzy red mask.

Okay, everyone... Please let me know when you've leveled, and if that changes your Initiative and Perception rolls.

Hmmm how about I just buy Healer's Gloves, I'm pretty happy with my spell selection, magic missile hasn't let me down yet!

Name: Cody
Player Name: Sarano Snowfeather
PFS number: 60921-12
Faction: Liberty's Edge

12 xp
8 prestige
16 fame
6484 gold - 2500 gold for gloves
Items bought: Healer's Gloves

I'm pretty happy with my spell selection, magic missile hasn't let me down yet!

It didn't help my Sorcerer. Swarms are horrible, and you need to prepare for a variety of opponents.

I had problems with my sorcerer and don't want you to repeat my mistakes.

hmmm so maybe a page of spell knowledge burning hands?

They are 1000 gold right?

I'll also add that to my purchases as well, please

Sounds good to me, and yes you have the correct price.

Next level you will want to swap out Color Spray since it is extremely unlikely to be useful any more.

Gallako, are you almost done leveling?

Hmm

If Gallako is not ready, we can detour to the embassy. I don't want to run box text until I hear everyone is leveled and ready.

Hmm

Sorry, last couple of days have been hectic (amongst other things I started GMing a PBP. Its a lot more time consuming than it looks :-)). I should get it all done late tonight. Feel free to proceed without me

I am not proceeding without you!

We can detour to the embassy until you are ready.

Hmm

Character updated

I am also updated. And now I am even MORE special. I GLOW when I fly and a map of the stars above appear on my feathers. And I can fly FASTER than before. Bow down before me for Vralk the Mighty is even MIGHTIER than before.

Well, you don't have to bow down because you're my friends. Who give me PIE!

Great, I'll move you all forward tonight after my crazy Wednesday at work is done.

Box text, ho!

Hmm

Wind caused a 5+ hour power outage here. I'll try to catch up before bed.

Oh, sorry to hear that, Chak!

Hmm

Is anyone else planning to make a knowledge check here, or should I just move us on?

Hmm

Chak automatically makes the DC 20+ Linguistics check, the details of which have been revealed already and isn't trained in the other skills, so I didn't think there was much of a reason to roll.

Good to know. In that case, I'll move us forward again!

I'm off to a convention this weekend so my posting will be spotty at best (almost certainly not Saturday, may manage Sunday morning or evening).

Bot me as necessary.

so, was that better, Hmm??? sorry I let my frustration get the better of me at first.

Yes, it was fine! And don't worry. Paizo eats all our posts from time to time. Composing off line in google docs or word is a fine option.

Hmm

Is almost everyone off today?

It was my son's birthday today. Tomorrow I have friends visiting from out-of-state.

On an unrelated note, I got a ratfolk boon last week at a convention. Now I want to play in an all ratfolk party too.

I'm off work now, my days off are Sunday/Mondays

Happy birthday to your son!

I love the idea of the all ratfolk party!

Hmm

me too! I have the same boon!

Man... Spouse just called me. Our car got broken into. His laptop, lost. Kindle, lost. Our tax paperwork, lost.

I am now contacting all the credit agencies to put holds on our accounts. This... This SUCKS.

If I seem a little distracted or absent, you'll know why. This game has been somewhat composed ahead, and I was waiting for more of you people to chime in with Shevar Besnik, but I wanted to give you a heads up. It may actually prove a good distraction tomorrow when I need one.

Ugh. Okay, back to filling out forms with Experian...

Hmm

PS Bret and I had a talk about On the Blighted Path. Could you guys still reserve that one for a month or two? I don't see a lot of other options for us.

^ Me, trying to find something else to worry about. Can you tell?

Man, that totally sucks. My sincere sympathies.

I can reserve On Blighted Path.

And I just got MY ratfolk boon this weekend too!!! So, I'm definitely also in for an all Ratfolk party.

Heck, we'd even get benefit from the swarming stuff!!!

I'm GMing at two more conventions this month although I think only one gets actual Con support (and I'm not totally sure about that one). If I get another Ratfolk boon I'd happily donate it to somebody else in this group if they wanted it.

I'm sorry to hear about that RL situation, Hmm, hope that gets sorted out soon enough in a good way.

I'm hoping that I'll actually get to run a table (or two) at a local convention in a few weeks to get a Rat-a-person of my own Local lodge is kinda WEIRD about firing/not-firing events, I'm going to be trying to run Reaping What We Sow and Bid for Alabastrine, but we'll see how that shakes out.

Provided we make it through Tome, I can keep Blighted for this group.

Also, Gallako, as a Shaman can you get the Create Water orison? If so, how many gallons of water can you make per casting? That might be something to consider where we're headed.

It's two gallons a casting. You can make a lot of water but it only lasts 24 hours.
