DM Aron Marczylo's Curse of the Crimson Throne Part 1 (Inactive)

Game Master overfiend_87

Slammed at work today. Will post tomorrow as I'm off work.

Finally got my first post up on the game thread.

While Skender has heard of the group's exploits, I have not read the previous posts in game or here to avoid any inadvertant metagaming. If anyone feels there is something that I need to know or would like to share, please tell me.

Getting the christmas Spirit late. Merry Christmas everyone or those like me with different religious beliefs "Happy Holidays" and hope you all have a good one. Of course I won't be surprised with you guys replying slower due to the holidays, I'm not scrooge :)

Happy Holidays, Aron and everyone else!

I Better wake up and pay attention as I'm sure many people are eager to get on with it :)

I am ready to go!

Anyone got the current XP count? I'd like to start keeping note of it since I am the DM and should be doing that.

Aventi are you out there?

My, my what will happen to the king of spiders? I bet you're all going to have a tea party in a minute. :D

So what's the verdict? Replace Aventi with someone to find online in gamer connection?

I would say yes. A disappearance of a week or so might be due to a system issue, but a month is probably a long term RL disruption.

Its also possible he was irritated at the argument between me and Tapestry's player and decided to bail on the game then. The timing's coincide. Seek a new player i'd say, and bot Aventi for this fight. Bonus points if you get him killed so we don't have awkward farewells ;).

It has been awhile since he posted. Wouldn't hurt to have someone else join up.

Level up changes-

+1 BAB
+1 Reflex save
One level 2 spell slot, one bonus level 2 spell slot, one domain slot (Produce Flame)
HP- 5+2+1= +8HP.
+5 skill points
Trackless Step- Curnach no longer leaves tracks unless he chooses to.

Not sure about feat yet, will update when i've decided.

Edit: Taking Improved Initiative.

Does anyone want to loan Curnach five hundred gold pieces? Will pay it back with six hundred the moment he has it (100GP interest).

Skender will loan you 469 gp.

I am unfamiliar with what the party has faced in the past. Is there a long standing presence of undead as antagonists? Would disrupt undead be worth while? I prefer harmful spells and have a new 0 level spell this level, so I figured I'd go for the biggest damaging spell if it seems warranted.

Don't worry, with Jerin taking craft wondrous item it was not necessary in the end.

We haven't come up against any undead yet, but its never a bad level 0 spell to pick.

Between goodberries, and a high heal skill + healers kit I have out of combat healing completely covered by the way.

I only get to choose a smal number of spells (I'm like a bard), so I want to make sure that all of them are useful.

It's good you have out of combat healing covered because you're going to want to read my last IC post.

Well aware of how an inquisitor works, been a huge fan of them since the APG preview and played two/three from levels 1-7 or so myself :).

I'm surprised you haven't picked up Wrath yet- it seems to fit the Savoured Sting nicely thematically.

When I play inquisitor I personally try to avoid picking spells with saving throws and debuffs; its only my experience but i've found hes a lot more effective as a 'selfish' caster, buffing himself. You tend to hit the sweet spot at about level 5, where you can deal very nice damage in melee regardless of your physical stats.

I wouldn't bother with a cure wand unless Curnach's healing methods prove insufficient, but I auto-pass treat deadly wounds now so with goodberries I can heal 11HP per character every day out of combat consistently, rising to 17 if I risk and pass a dice roll (need a 12 to hit DC25 and add wisdom modifier to amount healed. Thats more than half of everyone's HP I believe. When we get a little higher in level, i'll prepare a few cures to supplement.

I have already picked Wrath as my new 1st level spell.

I went with the debuffs as part of the schtick. They work towards the trickery and vengeance areas of the portfolio.

I don't have the money for a wand, that's why I mentioned it to the group in case they wanted to get one for party use.

If anyone was thinking of a teamwork feat, I have all of them except Outflank and Precise Strike, so you'll have someone with which to use them.

That's one of the thing I like about inquisitors is the selfish team work feat ability as Alex calls it as the other character doesn't have to have the feat for you to benefit from it.

Uff, Hi all!

First, I deeply apologize for my long absence plus not going to ask to get back to game:

Reason: I have been really deeply busy since the Christmas due to downsizing of our company and all damn work has been built on my neck. Arranging also new site for the company and moving stuff killed me and didn't have time for my own family.

I had before this 2 week attendance in Germany to search for new business partners.

First time after a long time I finally am able to get back my normal routine and a lot of things have happened. Now trying to fix my personal life and have to abandon my Paizo-hobby, who knows for how long.

I will be going around and need to post on quite many walls and apologize. Sorry for this and not informing sooner, but better later than never.

PS. The fight was okey and has nothing to do with my absence :)

Also you can appear at the inn the group will be staying at "The Three Rings Tavern" which is they're makeshift base of operations. You could say you met up with Cressida Kroft for whatever reason and then sent you to meet them there or you could say you performed in the Tavern and approched the group afterwards since they're now wearing the Pseudodragon mark which is a medal symbolising them as champions of Korvosa.

It's up to you, how do you want to be introduced?

Most I knew was something about a 2 weeks in Germany from one of your alternate character's OOC posts but that was it we hadn't known where you went. Sounds like a lot happened your end there.

Glad for informing us though as you said better later than never.

Good to know- best of luck with everything, sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Thanks for explaining rather than vanishing into the sunset as people often do!

Also will need to wait for the other two to post up they're extra levels and then be sure to read the romours I posted up as you would've heard them too. You can also try a gather information roll if you all want to get more info on these tales if there is any.

Level 3: Inquisitor
BAB +1
REF +1
Hit Points +1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

0 Level Spell - Acid Splash
1st Level Spell - Wrath

When Krenn returns, he is brimming with gear. New pouches and a sturdier backpack are full, with many more items hanging from the backpack. A member of a lesser race would be greatly hindered by his burden. He makes a point of showing Skender and Curnach a particular pouch. This one here's got stuff to help with healing. If I'm put down for any reason, you may want some of this.

It contains:
Antitoxin
Healing Kit
Antiplague
Bloodblock
Smelling Salts

Curnach has 8 uses of his first healing kit remaining, and bought a fresh one at level 3 for 18 uses total. Any objection if he carries the healing kit you bought too for 28?

Very nice roll there for the hitpoints. Nearly max.

Is this your oblique way of rubbing in my awesome roll? :)

Are we supposed to roll or take the average? I just took the average.
If we can roll, then I'll do that instead.

Level 2 hit points:
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Level 3 hit points:
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Oh, yeah. I'll be taking those. The dicebot loves me, but she is a fickle mistress.

I think the aim of this particular PbP is to maintain more max HP than the dwarven fighter and his D10 HD...

Nah he just did a really good roll. Heh...your roll isn't that bad. I know of a character with 10 con that rolled a 1. Atleast you have a good con.

I know Curnach can make the check with his 7 strength. Go on, you can do it!

Or Jerin with his 7! lol's

would be funny. The weakling druid is unable to move the door yet the equally weakling wizards kicks it open chuck norris style.

Well the race ended before it started.

Hmm...what will the group do. Hand Trinia in or believe what she says about her innocence?

Sorry, enchanter's can be a one shot pony in combat sometime's. As far as Trinia is concerned, she is worth 1500gp if we turn her over to Croft, what do you think we would do? :)

Go Team Neutral!
