When I came back Wehrpig offered me the choice of level equivalent loot, or keeping the Ghost Touched Axe :3
So I'm kinda the GM at the moment... Everyone is free to redo their gear at a 7th-level character's budget of 23,500 gp (as per the Character Advancement and Level-Dependent Bonuses table.
I imagine Dorijann already did so, and of course Ouachitonian should for his upcoming character. The three characters who've been in this game from day 1 should have comparable gear too, IMO. :)
So Naught can keep the GT axe, subtracting its cost from your budget and using the rest for anything else she can afford. I don't see it in your profile, but a +1 ghost touch great axe runs a little over 8k gold, so you'd have around 15k gold left to spend on armor or other gear. Maybe make it out of adamantine for another 3k gold, or another material of your choice.
And Zelda, you can just buy a new rapier with your budget. Perhaps a +1 keen mithril rapier (to make your crit threat range 15-20 instead of 18-20)? Just a suggestion, it's up to you. :)

Ghost Touch is only a +1? Huh, I thought it was a +3.
Will get to shopping and responding in gameplay later today then :3
I’ll try to put something together by the weekend.
This is Ouachitonian. I don't have all the fluff filled in yet, though I do have a general outline in my head. Tiefling Alchemist (Gun Chemist)with a Pepperbox, shooting all the things. It'll be my first time playing an alchemist, so advice on extracts is welcome.
*checks thread*
Ah damnit, site ate my post from the beginning of the week >_<
No prob regarding Melati, Dorijann.
Looks good, Ouachitonian. Unfortunately, I've not played one before.
Sorry, Naught. :(
I'll put my Ali hat back on now and see about posting myself...
Looks like TheNine is having a hard time fitting us in (see the Recruitment thread). I opted to continue the search for a new GM.
I have been thinking about GMing myself. I don't think I will have the time for it, but... if we can't find anyone within the next 4-6 weeks let's say, I'll very seriously consider how I can make it happen. Maybe we can even each take turns GMing, perhaps a chapter each? This way, we each get a chance to play.
Do we know what became of Caromarc? I was thinking that perhaps my character could be an associate of Caromarc's, sent along to assist the party, out of gratitude for...something. Might could substitute someone else, like the good Judge, if need be. Caromarc would be better, since he's an accomplished alchemist. My character could be a former student or something.
No worries Zelda. I was just seeing if anyone else was interested in sharing the GM mantle. No worries if you or anyone else is not.
Nox: Unfortunately, we do not. For reasons unknown to me, we did not encounter him at the end of the chapter, even though the Paizo book says we should have found him in the last part of the castle. I'm thinking of reviewing the book more carefully, and revealing anything we should know by now, as he seems to have been an important NPC to have encountered for grasping the storyline... maybe we can retcon a bit if needed.
Feel free to introduce yourself at any time into the gameplay scenario when ready, Nox.
All: I'm going to wait for Naught another day to post. Maybe one of the three of us will connect with Dorijann's mentor... Ali seems to be having none of it atm, lol. ;)
I've tried to leave open Nox's background, to some extent. If Caromarc is important to dispatching the group on its next adventure, he can be carrying the message, or inviting them to a meeting, or whatever.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME IT ATE MY POST AGAIN ;_;
I'm sowwy for taking so long! Will try to have one up later today.

Poor Naught. No worries, when you can, I'll wait (too tired to post now anyway, lol).
Btw, you are aware that copy and paste is your friend here on this (somewhat unstable) forum, right? When the site eats my posts, I am typically taken to the main forum page instead of the existing game thread; that's my cue that my post didn't take. When that happens, I simply return to the game thread, paste my copied post, and try to Submit again. Usually works for me the second time. I always select all and copy my entire post prior to hitting either Preview or Submit, it's helped me avoid this disaster from recurring since I started doing it a while back.

I do but I keep forgetting or post in a hurry (like when I’m at work), will try to get something up today when I get in ;_;
No worries. And sorry if I was telling you what you already know. I just figured I'd include instructions anyway, while I was already logged in... instead of waiting another day or two for a potential "Oh really? How do I do that?" reply, lol.
So regarding Caromarc. I've decided to post a quick retroactive summary of events that would have occurred right after Angelic Ali landed with Naught and an unconscious Zelda after fleeing the Aberrant Promethian (the big boss we faced, and nearly TPK'd from, at the close of Chapter Two). So, we all would be very aware of who Caromarc is. Otherwise, I think we may be left in the dark about an important part of the overall plot of Carrion Crown.
I think I'll put it in spoiler tags in the Gameplay thread when I'm ready...
I'll post part 2 and will also try to reply to the current scenario tomorrow, if I can. It took me a while to sort through what's important for us to know tonight.
Don't mean to cheat, but I think we all should have found this out at the end of Chapter Two. Besides, had we continued a bit more, I think this scenario would have been a likely outcome anyway... we really did land in the room Caromarc was in, we were right there... LOL.
Sorry about that, let me see if I can get part 2 up soon... and hopefully progress the game along too.
I figure while Nox has a Charisma of 8, his portrait reminds me of Hugh Jackman. And I believe he's a real looker to the ladies, hence Ali's reaction. :)
@Dorijann: In case you missed it, I had Aliseya throw in a hook for your mentor to use to connect with the group. :)
@All: Hope those long posts weren't too overwhelming. Feels like I gave everyone homework , lol.
I just felt that finding all that out was very important to understanding what we should understand at this point in the AP. Especially knowing where the Whispering Way was headed next, so that we actually have an idea of where we should go to begin Chapter 3, lol. And since we already started an interlude, I didn't want to interrupt and throw us back to the castle again. So I opted for an epilogue instead.

He’s just spent all his days in dusty libraries or messy labs. Probably spent more time interacting with homunculi and other constructs than humans and the like. Hasn’t had any opportunity to develop his people skills.
I hope everyone's just busy. Or maybe I'm moving too slow for everyone. Sorry if so... I've moved the gameplay along a bit.
Note that everyone in the dining room was invited downstairs, so not just Zel and Naught but also Nox, Dorijann, and Melati.
Also, I'm going to try again in the Recruitment thread to find a GM for us. I am leaning towards running the next chapter for us though if we can't find anyone reliable in the next few weeks. I can promise maybe 3 posts per week if I do run, which while slow, at least keeps the game alive and enjoyable for us... maybe we can find someone to run chapter 4 for us when the time comes.
Huh, *scratches head* Sorry about that, I could have sworn I posted, will try to get a gameplay post up later then.
No worries Naught.
If everyone's just bored and afraid to say it to me, no worries and no offense taken. :) I know I tend to enjoy drawing out roleplay a bit more than others. We can stop any time.
Or if that's not the case at all, feel free to post!
More importantly, everyone check out the Recruitment thread. We've found another possible GM. :)
Yeah, sorry I still haven't posted, nothing wrong in gameplay, and certainly not boring, just trying to get into a right head space to post, this is all on me. It's Friday though so hopefully I'll get something up.

Sorry, I absolutely understand. Absolutely no rush. I'm just glad it's not my posting. :)
I do get very excited when I GM. Maybe too excited and antsy to see what everyone does. I should really GM a game or two, but don't really have the time (though I do love it a lot).
Sorry Zel. I was waiting for others to post. I'll move the narrative along either tonight or tomorrow night the latest.
Sorry.
No apology necessary Naught. Just post when you can. :)
I actually hope you can, as I have something in mind that you may want to participate in... but absolutely no pressure. I know how real life too often has other plans for us.
Sorry it took me so long, I'll try to stay on it this time.
No prob. I'll give the others another day or so.
Feel free to gamble in the back, order drinks, talk to each other, or anything else you can think of.
If you gamble, feel free to pick the game being played, and roll whatever dice you feel would be appropriate to that game. This is all just roleplay anyway. :)
I'm assuming Nox, Dorijann, and Dori's mentor all followed Zel, Naught, and Ali downstairs. Nox has an obvious in (he was invited to dinner by Ali), and in case Dori missed it, her mentor very clearly overheard Ali reveal something about the trial and so he'd be very inclined to speak with her... or, at this point, with her friends who sat with her at the table since Ali just ducked behind a curtain.
Before continuing with the Ali show, let's give Zelda a chance to do something interesting, too. :)
Uy, hope you get a replacement soon Zelda.
No worries as far as late posting, everyone. I'm not handing out pink slips. ;)
Sorry all. I'll try to post tomorrow night to move things along. It was a very demanding week.
In the meantime, I was thinking Zelda might want to reply to her sister before Ali performs (we can say that happens before the showman announces Ali). I also thought it would be funny AHEM, um, I mean, interesting for Naught to come back out and meet Zelda's hag-hunting sister. :o :D

Sorry I havne't posted still yet, I'll do my best to do so when I get home.
This is all on me, it has nothing to do with the scene or you Ali or anyone else here. There scene is great, and I'm sad I haven't been interacting more.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Absolutely no worries, Naught. Whenever you and the others are ready, no pressure. I realize everyone's just busy.
Regarding the video, I think I found a dancer who's not only hot and looks a lot like I imagine Ali does (just give her one red eye and more of a tan, basically), but also one who is a very skilled dancer. This way, Zelda can enjoy the video, too. ;)
oh no :(
*offers hugs*

I sympathize, Zelda. I actually work as a computer technician as well as web designer...
Feel free to send me a PM if interested in computer advice. I do that all the time. I will volunteer a couple of things off the bat that are important to know. First, if you hired a tech service company like Geek Squad or anyone else, some will not bother trying to retrieve your documents and pictures, and I can tell you from professional experience that I've almost always been able to do so (even from failing hard drives). So if you care about your files and you were told they're lost, send me a PM. Second, check out this article before you toss the old computer if you're concerned about protecting your privacy.
As for posting on this site from a phone, yeah, it's not really designed for mobile devices. Although, I noticed that the relatively recent redesign includes adding something called Bootstrap, which (if they implement it more thoroughly at some point) can let them make the site far more mobile-friendly. Maybe they plan to... but apparently haven't yet.
Hey Zelda! Did you have more than what's in the Campaign Info tab? I still see a link to "Zelda's Log" there.
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving, if you celebrate.
Regarding Harrowstone and what you wrote, Zelda, as a reminder, we did discover early on (from reading his journal entries) that the late professor suspected the Whispering Way was up to something at the prison. His final journal entry indicated that "it is imperative that the Way does not finish" at Harrowstone, and that he intended to get there before it's too late (and, obviously, he failed to stop them).
I'm not sure if we fully realized it at the time, but I do believe we figured out what they were up to. We found strange and unidentified sigils were recently written around the prison's outer walls on our first visit to the prison. What they were up to we did not figure out yet.
Later, when we encountered Vesorianna's spirit, she told us that the spirit of her husband, the prison's warden Hawkran, was abducted by whispering black-robed people in some kind of ritual. We can surmise these black-robed whisperers were members of the Whispering Way. Vesorianna also told us she had a much harder time containing the evil prisoner spirits from escaping the prison, now that her husband's spirit was removed from the prison, and that's when things started getting weird in Ravengro. And so Professor Lorrimor was probably murdered by the Way. The ghosts and haunts we encountered were probably released after the Way's fell ritual to capture Warden Hawkran affected the prison, leaving only one spirit of two to contain its evil and her power to do so was failing.
I mention this because I think by now we should all realize that the Whispering Way is the main antagonist in the Carrion Crown series. They've been behind some kind of sinister plot that has adversely impacted Ravengro (stealing Warden Hawkran's spirit from Harrowstone Prison), then Lepidstadt (stealing the Seasage Effigy from Lepidstadt University), and now, as we learned from the golem's creator, they are headed east into the Shudderwood... which is where Book 3 will begin.
