Sort by date; the new ones take up the first 10+ pages.


Your Humble Narrator

Wicked, thanks.

My assignments are in; I expect my pacing will improve now :).


Male Human

Well, I think I will be sticking with the current one for Kieran. Still, some very good ones among the new portraits.


Your Humble Narrator

An abundance of pirates; my Skull and Shackles character got a makeover but I doubt i'll change any others.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

I had a quick looksee for more Mwangi and was disappointed again.

But a couple of my other ones got a new look, lots of funky Ulfen vikingr looking ones floating around.


Male Human

My guy in Way of the Wicked did get a new look. And some of them have given me ideas for potential future characters, or rather characters that have already been floating in my mind.

Oh, good. I know it doesn't look much like his physical description, but it would be unsettling to have him suddenly change. Like when they recast Darrin in Bewitched.

Mark's changed his default avatar, and it's quite disturbing. Like I don't even know him anymore. ;P


*Waves*


Male Human

And you also changed your Voice of the Voiceless avatar. The new one is... creepily bizarre.

Better?


Your Humble Narrator

It was the Mark Sweetman avatar giving me shudders but that is also performing that service admirably :P.


Ah, the temptation to Color Spray her own party...

Not that I see her being so into elven solidarity that she'd actually stick her own neck out to help an elf against her own friends, much as she may hate her friends at the moment. ;P

She'll probably hate herself later for not trying to talk Zesaste into a peaceful solution herself.


Yes, if only we'd had access to that +11 to Diplomacy, we might have come to a civilized arrangement already. ;)

(Of course, if you were due for that 2 you rolled on initiative, maybe not.)


Your Humble Narrator

Castor u with us?


Male Human

Yeah, just at the hospital. Posting right now. Here goes nothing... :-)


*nudge* You're up in Legacy of Fire, AK -- although what you're going to do other than take another round of bleed damage, I don't know.


Male Human Haunted Nature Oracle 4 (Ac 20 Cmd 20 Will+4 Ref+2 Fort+4)

Apparently AK does not have time to bleed

Sorry could not resist.


Male (HP 50/53) Human Monk 2/Fighter 4

Heh, i'll get on it before I sleep! Sorry I caught up to it but then blanked on my action. Bleeding I reckon.


Male Human

Guys, I am going to be out of town for the next four days, give or take a day. I may actually be able to post this time around, but if I seem to be taking too long, please DMPC Kieran as needed so as not to bog down the game.


Are we back to Tebati? I don't like to assume since we're obviously in over our heads at the moment and I'm expecting all kinds of arcane stuff to blow up in our faces....


Male Human (Ijo) Monk 4 (Zen Archer)

I have a 4-day weekend in Nashville for my brother's wedding. Internet and sobriety may be sketchy.

Sovereign Court

We're over to me botting Kieran I believe, when I get a chance to update :).

Should have listened to the enchantress! ;P

Didn't Kieran throw his dagger regardless of his shrunkenness, in round 1? Ansha's at the bottom of the order, so it should probably be Tebati again at the top of round 2.


Yeah, Kieran acted here (and should have agitated to keep his original roll), and Ansha did nothing helpful except get out of the line of fire. ;)

*Cough* or the barbarian *cough*


If you'd been there, you'd have been the natural target for the spell, and we'd have a mini-Qhude running around. He and my halfling barbarian could get together.

My actual intention was for Tebati to go to the jail with Qhude and leave Ansha to handle negotiations with Zesaste. (Apparently in Elven, they use the same word for "negotiate with" and "let go." ;P ) If Zesaste had just let Tebati leave, he'd be on his way out of town with lovely parting gifts by now.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Aye - but mini-Qhude with a polearm is still relatively fierce :P

As it is methinks it shall be an interesting conversation when Qhude gets back with the others...


Well, soon enough AK will have us all paranoid enough that we'll go everywhere fully armed and armored, even to a beach party, and we'll all travel in a defensive block formation at all times, even through the marketplace, so we won't be constantly putting ourselves at a disadvantage. :P

I've learned that shield of faith is a complete waste of a spell slot since AK's going to crit anyway, so AC won't even come into the equation. Ought to just save the slot for healing after the inevitable hit.

And maybe one day we'll fight something that can't take us from full hp to unconscious and/or dead in a single blow. :P

I think we'd have had a chance if we'd already leveled up. 2nd-level spells and extra hp would have come in handy.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Yep HP would have helped... even Qhude would've crumpled with a 22 damage crit if he wasn't able to rage first (being he's down a few HP).

Maybe AK just wants to finish Freehold post haste ;)

Truth be told I'm a little burnt out on freehold but we'll wrap it up soon and move on to the section I've been looking forward to for a long time :).


Your Humble Narrator

Zesaste was CR3 but give a transmuter time to prepare... ;).


Any NPC you're rollng for should get an automatic +1 CR bump due solely due to your luck with the dice. It's like a normal DM giving all his monsters Improved Critical for free. ;P


Considering the frequency with which our opponents save against my spells, I agree with that statement. ;P


Good point: Make that Improved Critical, Great Fortitude, Iron Will, and Lightning Reflexes for free. ;)


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Another reason why people need to start trusting Qhude a little bit more :P

Qhude wrote:
Grimacing at the time being taken to look into more genteel ways of entering, Qhude sizes up the door and asks "Any reason why I should not just kick it down?"


Your Humble Narrator

Level up!


Male Human Haunted Nature Oracle 4 (Ac 20 Cmd 20 Will+4 Ref+2 Fort+4)

Sweet.
+1BAB fort and ref
Feat
Revelation
And new spell

It's good to be an Oracle.

Going Bonded Mount and Friend to animals. Can only manage SNA 1 but the wee beasties will be fireproof.


So, do I need to take Eschew Materials or do I get to not waste a feat replacing a 5gp item? ;P


Hey, I bought a spell component pouch when we got to Freehold. If Ansha gets Eschew Materials for free, I want my 5 gold back! ;)

I actually find the component pouch immersion-breaking, what with the butter and live bugs and mini-pies and dirt and cobwebs and bits of wire that are all mixed up in there together and yet instantly distinguishable from one another as a free action. :P

According to this, I leveled her up more than three months ago, if I just go looking for the HeroLab file.... Ah! There she is. Skills are listed in the old post, and I'm taking Diehard for her feat.

We are not taking the wizard! I rest my case.


Level 3-

+1 Fortitude
+1 Will

+5 HP

Spells Learned--Hideous Laughter, Mirror Image

Feat--Not sure yet. Eschew Materials if necessary, but otherwise either Spell Focus (enchantment) or Additional Traits.


Your Humble Narrator

If its purely the fluff you dislike we can assume Ansha's found a way to cast without her spell component pouch, except in any circumstances where she couldn't normally cast (polymorph, grapple etc. I think its a kick in the teeth for Sorcerors if I let her have it entirely for free. So basically, RAW but for the worthless components lets say she substitutes ;).


I can live with that. And since I found an excellent reason why Ansha shouldn't have a decent Sense Motive, Spell Focus (enchantment) it is.

That said, I think it's a kick in the teeth that a feat can be substituted for by spending 5gp...and we don't have any sorcerors for me to kick! =P Also, grapple doesn't prevent spellcasting with somatic components in PF, so I don't know why it would prevent spellcasting with material components.

Spellcraft to learn Alarm from a scroll, retry from level 2 to 3; DC 16: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Failed again!

Level 3 changes (final)

+1 Fort
+1 Reflex

+5 HP

favored class bonus to skill point

7 skill points (2 +4 INT +1 favored class)

+1 rank Bluff
+1 rank Diplomacy
+1 rank Intimidate
+1 rank Knowledge (arcana)
+1 rank Knowledge (local)
+1 rank Sense Motive
+1 rank Spellcraft

Spells Learned:
Hideous Laughter, Mirror Image

Feat: Spell Focus (enchantment)


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Level up changes are below, will have a thought for some shopping in a bit and will have some retrospective in thread for people to respond to shortly.

Qhude Level 3 Changes:
Barbarian Level taken
BAB +1, Ref and Will save +1
HP: +7+2 = +9 HP
Feat: Improved Grapple
Skills: Intimidate, Perception, Survival, 2 x Craft (Leather? - for skins)
Pit Fighter - applied to Grapple CMB
+2 rage rounds per day
Favored Class: +1 to bonus from Superstition rage power (when I eventually take it)

Its not substituted because of corner cases like Polymorph and sundered spell component pouches etc. :)

Besides, not all feats are created equally. I can think of far less useful ones.


I'll get a reply up for Qhude tomorrow. Tebati's going to have a bit of tension with Ansha as well, but it's probably better brokered with Kieran as middleman.


And to think, a year ago, we were just arriving in Freehold.


Your Humble Narrator

Its been a brutally busy year for me and i'm in my final exam period right now. Very appreciative of everyone's patience though!
