Np Setebo! RL has been hitting me hard too. New baby boy due in less then 28 days, just got promoted and looking to be moving about 450 miles here in a month as well.....
Congratulations!
Glad to see you back! Now Natalyah and I won't kill each other! xD
Great Rping Natalyah! This is most amusing!
Good to know :) I'm constantly abit worried that I might be pushing it abit and someone might get offended. Glad that's not the case (yet:)
Sorry if I am quiet, RL is making demands on me also, and really there isn't much to say while everyone else snaps and bites...
You''ll be pleased to know the end of this chapter is nigh..with some luck it will be finished before Septembers 3rd Anniversary of the start..
Wife is having some complications in the last couple days of pregnancy sorry for not posting and please don't count me out yet. I will post if I am able. :( again sorry! Dmnpc when needed and if anyone needs her to make diplo or other check feel free to NPC her~
I hope everything is OK. And don't worry about Atzi, Natalyah can NPC her:
Atzi walks blindly into the room and falls into the pit trap.
Just a heads up, I won’t be able to post tomorrow. So if Natalyah is slowing things down, feel free to DMPC.
Another heads up. This monday I'll be travelling abroad and I will not be posting regularly. I'll continue to read the thread daily but my posting will be infrequent. I'll be back the 30th of july. Feel free to DMPC Natalyah if she's holding up the game.
Have a good trip Patrik..
Im back will start posting normally again! Sorry Der the wait our seek d son doesn't want to a schedule >:-( darn tootin babies lol
Have a good trip Patrik..
Thanks! I will :)
You know under other circumstances Caithan might not mind being crammed in a crowded room with three beautiful and athletic women. But the addition of the heavy armor, sharp objects, a big hairy dog and Setebo don't do anything for the mood.
And a big winged dinosaur lol :)
Actually it's 4 attractive women you forgot Amisi.
We lost Thod as an active player some time ago but as we are nearing the end of this adventure I'm content to DMPC Amisi.
I was wondering what happened to Amisi.
Basically Thod quit all his PBPs due to RL commitments..he runs Dwarven Forges European business side pretty much single handed as well as holding down a full time job.
That is a full plate. I can see pbp's having to go by the wayside.
ya indeed lol! so is having two kids lol :)
Back and quite tired. I will read up on the game thread and resume posting regulary some time tomorrow.
Yay! \o/ welcome back \o/
Rest up. Stabbing Setebo can wait.
:7)
from Dominate Person
Subjects resist this control, and any subject forced to take actions against its nature receives a new saving throw with a +2 bonus. Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out. Once control is established, the range at which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as you and the subject are on the same plane. You need not see the subject to control it.
So if the Snake woman directly orders Setebo to kill a member of the party then he will get that saving throw..and he can resist actually harming you as long as he fulfills the imperative of protecting her so disarming strikes and blocking peoples way are acceptable within the strict interpretation of the spells rules.
Natalyah ay want to revise her action since Caithan most likely just ripped two more skeletons to pieces and her attacks aren't even scratching these things.
On the flipside there's now a more or less clear path to something to stab out of frustration.
um.... Grease needs a save to stand up?
Walking, the closest thing mentioned in the spell to taking a move action to stand requires a DC 10 acrobatics check which Setebo makes on a 1 (+9 acrobatics)
Happy to go with this interp but it is adding oomph to the spell.
Shut up and lie down, traitor! :p
Why is everybody always picking on me?
Ah, comfy cool floor. :7)
ahhh poor Setebo :( Atzi won't burn you with her angry ball of flame. :) Quetza may bite though >.>; Irritated lizard that he is!
Hmm..I might be thinking of a previous iteration of the spell..I have problems with the new version which to me seems really useless if a 3rd level character can avoid it's effects automatically.
A third level character who specialized in acrobatics mind you. And there is still a save on creation of the ice. And even with a Acrobatics roll it restricts one to half move, preventing charges etc. It also has full function on items (ref save or drop ref save to pick up/hold) and as an grapple defence.
Still a very useful spell and third level is pretty basass when you look at it.
Works great n golems especially :3 saved my party in another game from a furnace golem. It had like no reflex save lmao!
DM sir.
Looks like that old edition snuck in again. Per Mirror Image "Spells and effects that do not require an attack roll affect you normally and do not destroy any of your figments."
Magic Missile does not require an attack roll and so cannot be fooled by or pop the images. Mind you I think your way is better, simply assuming that MM "rolls" well enough to hit but not threaten a crit. Sounds good.
face-palm...doh..lets just assume Amisi was targeting images directly..
I've been looking at the treasure spread sheet and there are just too many lines.There is absolutely no need to note identical items by their provenance so you can go ahead and consolidate it if you wish. Also you can remove treasure in the possession of the characters like Inkathru who will be leaving you
I only say this because it's going to get mightily confusing by the end of the 6 chapters otherwise.
I am still determined to step up the pace on the next chapter mainly by missing out encounters that can only be described as 'local colour'.
Awww our lady of blades is leaving us! :(
Well i understand but its still sad ad you were an excellent player. Its been a pleasure and good luck on all your endeavors. :) if you ever come back be sure to hit me up as i would recommend you in any game i am in! Now Atzi will have to find someone else tp argue with. Dam. Lol ;)
Aw and now Caithan will never get a chance to properly tell her off. :(
Welp, Caithan gets a new puppy.
I may take bon companion at some point to get him up to snuff. Maybe. Definitely grabbing an archetype for him though to make him more viable
Sorry to see Patrik go but that's the way of things
That leaves Atzi as the only original member of the roster.
So the question must be asked do we try and recruit an arcane caster which might be difficult given the fact that Serpents Skull is not particularly popular or do we move on with just the four off you {with perhaps an NPC wizard} or do we call it a day.
This one chapter came in at 4 weeks under three years if the others take as long I'll be almost 70 by the time we get done.

Thanks :) Appreciate the invite but I'm probably done with Pathfinder for the forseeable future (although still have 3 other Pathfinder PbPs at we'll see what happens with). I'm considering trying to GM a game myself on these boards using the Savage Worlds rule set, just haven't decided on what setting yet.
Would definitely be interested in Savage worlds...I have Mars, Weird War and the Pulp stuff for that.
1. Sorry to see you go. But I can understand, even agree some of the time.
2. Also a SW fan and would be angling for a player slot in any game you choose to run.

You might be over focusing on the goal of 'completing' the ap. The real question, to me at least, is not "When will we finish this?" but rather "Am I having fun right now?" So long as the second question can be answered in the affirmative then the longer term goal seems largely irrelevant. At least that is how I see it.
As far as recruitment I think you may underestimate the popularity of SS. I expect a recruitment thread looking for an arcanist to join a strong party for the second book would get a very good response.
Yes I;m still having fun..and your right I'll put up a recruitment thread tomorrow.

Cool, you're in. I'll let you know when I start up. Think it'll be late september, early october.
how do we go about getting another companion? I see the 24hr thing just wanted to make sure it wasn't a just pick one kinda deal. ;)
@Patrik!
I don't mind trying savage worlds ;) So if there is room for this silly guy then please let me know! Never played Savage worlds so I will start reading up as soon as I get some books. lol

Then you're in as well. I'll be in touch when I get ready to start up. It'll be a few weeks.
Sweet! \o/

Ooooo a new version of the test drive rules is available for free download!
Pull these Atzi and they will give you a decent grounding.
Ok looking at the spreadsheet and trying to calculate the net wealth of the party I get a figure of
230 gp worth of misc equipment
2501. gp in coin
4499 in artwork, gems etc
for a total of 7,230
that's 1446 each and Setebo can remove all the sold stuff from the sheet.
in addition I ask again that the spreadsheet to be consolidated..there are for instance 3 lines for potions of CLW this is unnecessary and redundant, not to mention making the sheet confusing to read..

Not a prob. The sheet in its current form was set up for desert island survival horror. In survival/horror situations there is a small chance that some random bit of gear will be vital. See the Fisher Space Pen and Apollo 11. So I was on vacuum/NSA mode, grab it all and deal with the mess later. Now that we have a culture to draw on organization rather that accumulation becomes more important.
Is short, on it.
Just to be sure.
~1: Everything in the 'Jewelry/Art/Commodities' section has been sold/tossed/eaten by gnomes? And we made 4499g on the deal?
~~1a: Any interesting plot/info to be gleaned from the surveying material? "parchment covered with surveying data, No useful information. Need to have a better understanding of the island"
~2: I am assuming the items highlighted in orange have been sold, correct?
~3: I propose selling the items highlighted in blue, thoughts?
