Curse of the Crimson Throne: Uneasy Lies The Head

Game Master Vanulf Wulfson

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
Henry IV, Part II, Act III, Scene 1

The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos, and only the PCs can hope to save the city from its own darkest tendencies. As the rule of the young queen grows more and more draconian, it's up to a band of bold adventurers to stop the spread of tyranny before all of Korvosa is crushed beneath her iron fist.

Okay, everyone. The Gameplay thread is up.


Please excuse my English. I mess up my tenses all the time. Point out any mistakes! :)


This is the internet. I promise you that everything will be okay.

Sorry for the lack of posting recently. Been trying to get things squared away at work before I go on vacation next week. Given that, my posting is going to be limited next week but I will try to keep in contact as much as possible.

I'll get a post up later tonight to get things moving again.


Jealous! Vacation time! :)


Hell's Vengeance Battlemaps; Jade Regent Battlemaps; Kingmaker Battlemaps; Mummy's Mask Battlemaps

Figures. I start this campaign up and then they announce This.
Oh well, it'll be interesting to see how my conversions stack up a against JJ's.


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

Well, looks like they are chewing their way through all of 'em. That'll be nice in about six years when they get to Kingmaker after I've finished running it.


Male Human Ranger / 1

How's everyone doing?


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

I had a sinus infection yesterday that had me out of it, but I'm on the mend.


Great. Easter long weekend! :)


Male Human (Varisian) Investigator (Sleuth) 1

I'm still here as well.


Hell's Vengeance Battlemaps; Jade Regent Battlemaps; Kingmaker Battlemaps; Mummy's Mask Battlemaps

After tonight I'll be at my Father in Law's house for the Easter weekend. Hopefully I can find some time to veg on the sofa and bang out a couple of updates.

Nicolai sticks to the shadows idly shuffling his harrow deck. Stopping, he turns over the top card to reveal The Queen Mother. Frowning slightly at the portents, he places the card back in the deck and shuffles once more before putting the deck away.

Nicolai will use his Harrowed feat to give himself a +2 bonus on any one d20 roll involving Wisdom for the day.


Male Human Ranger / 1

This is the discussion. FYI.

Oops. That's what I get for posting first thing in the morning BC (before caffeine).


Hell's Vengeance Battlemaps; Jade Regent Battlemaps; Kingmaker Battlemaps; Mummy's Mask Battlemaps

Sorry, I didn't realize I had the page set to the wrong map.


Man, I figured that a +7 bonus to disable at first level was good. That's what I get for thinking!


Hell's Vengeance Battlemaps; Jade Regent Battlemaps; Kingmaker Battlemaps; Mummy's Mask Battlemaps

Sorry man. It's a DC 20 for the locks. Just some bad dice luck.


Male Human Ranger / 1

We're all so passive. (chuckle). No one wants to be that guy who lets the bad guy get away.


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

I have no skill with locks, so not much I can do! :D


Male Human Ranger / 1

Should we all post our actions or just wait for our turn?


Hell's Vengeance Battlemaps; Jade Regent Battlemaps; Kingmaker Battlemaps; Mummy's Mask Battlemaps

You don't need to wait until your action to post. Go ahead and post and I will adjudicate your actions should something change.

Also, please use the map to show the position of your characters in relation to the enemies. I've been moving them in accordance with your actions but if I make a mistake on your position it could have an unintended detrimental effect.


How do we access the map?


Male Human Ranger / 1

In campaign info, click the link of the map. It'll take you to Roll20 so you need to make an account to access it.


Hell's Vengeance Battlemaps; Jade Regent Battlemaps; Kingmaker Battlemaps; Mummy's Mask Battlemaps

I'm sorry everyone but the past week and a half have been insane. Last week I was informed that I along with the rest of our union's local executive board are being sued by a former employee who feels we did not do enough to prevent his termination for theft.
I've been spending most of this week talking with our union's lawyers and trying to find one for myself.
I'm feeling that I need to get these games moving along if only to take my mind off everything else that's going on, but if I lapse into long silences I wanted you to know why.


Male Human Ranger / 1

Thanks for the notification. Life happens, so its understandable for missing some game time. Glad we can be an escape of sorts.


All the best! :)


Hi, I am going to be absent due to work. I hope to back to the campaign by the weekend, or early next week. Sorry, just very busy with work.


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

See you soon! Works out 'cuz maybe we can get everyone back at the same time. ;)


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

Everyone still here?


Male Human Ranger / 1

Yeah, waiting for GM update.


I'm still around as well.


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

Been almost three weeks. Game dead?


Male Human Ranger / 1

Probably inactive at least.


Male Human Ranger / 1

Anyone know how to set this game as inactive?


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

As far as I know, the DM has to... which seems like a problem. :/


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

I'm migrating this character off this campaign as it is clearly dead. Good luck finding another game, folks. :)
