DM Barcas - Kingmaker: Eye of the Cyclops

Game Master Isaac Duplechain

Maybe we can tweak it at high levels, but that would create some big problems at low and middle levels.

Updated Jemini to the proposed system using DM Barcas' proposed item adjustments; notable expenditures beyond that:

• champion armor, 1500
  
• bolstering shield, 1000
  
• featherstep slippers, 2000
  
• immovable rod, 5000
  
• +1800gp spent on charity (total 3000)
  
• +1000gp spent on followers
  

Verik's Bonus Progression (@8th level): Armor 2, Shield 1, Weapon 1, Resistance 1, Wisdom 1, Constitution 1, Strength 1

Verik's (8th Level) Leveling Up Notes:
Cha +1
7th Cleric
BAB +1, iterative attacks
HP +7 (5+2 CON) 61hp
+1 Hero Point (2 total)
No Saves increase
Skills (4 points): Knowledge: Religion +1, Knowledge: Planes +1, Spellcraft +1, Sense Motive +1
Class Features: 2+1 4th lvl spells, +1 1st lvl spell, higher bonuses on some spells and powers (Resist Energy is now 20), channel energy is 4d6
Feats: None new

Magic Item Notes:
Adjusted items to-date (Lamashan 4712): warhammer is thundering, heavy shield is blinding, full plate is defiant(undead), his crafted belt is an equestrian belt and his headband is now a hat of comprehend languages & read magic. Like the ones for Borodin, Berrin, Zander, Taisper, etc., his cloak is a cloak of endure elements.

New items to craft (Neth 4712-Calistril 4713):
* Minor Crown (helm) of Blasting (3240gp)
* Lesser Strand of Prayer Beads (4800gp)
* Archon Torch (375gp)
* 2x Silversheen (250gp)
* Soul Soap (100gp)

New items to purchase/barter (Neth 4712-Calistril 4713):
* 1425gp of scrolls total value - Bull's Strength (CL3), Lesser Restoration (CL3), Communal Resist Energy (CL5), Daylight (CL5), Invisibility Purge (CL5).
* 200gp of potions/oils total value - 2x Oils of Magic Weapon (CL1), 2x Potions of Hide Undead (CL1)
* Have Verik's key shield enhanced with holy reliquary (250gp)
* Purchase 2x Masterwork Cold Iron Light Hammers, upgrading from his non-Mw ones (604gp)

The rest of Verik's WBL is going to some investments to his "Mercadi's Wagons" enterprise, but mostly to magical wardings and enhancements (Glyphs of Warding, Symbols of Healing/Revelation/Slowing) for the Bank of Abadar, the Founder's Hall, Sanctuary Town Hall, All-Faiths Cathedral where applicable, etc.

One thing for some of you to consider, is that Verik can craft Winged Boots at 8000gp cost because he meets all the crafting requirements. Even without Elsir, that may be the thing we need to not get into these disadvantaged ranged fights.

As a reminder, Verik can craft any +1 bonus equivalent enhancements to armor and weapons that he meets all the crafting prerequisites for...obviously this was a wider pool when Verik could collaborate with Elsir, so discuss such with the DM if there is an opportunity for Verik and NPC Elsir to "collaborate" during the four-month interim period. The same goes for wondrous items.

Don't mind me...nothing to see here citizens...just digging up some of last year's RRR posts on our last Kingdom Turns for Rova 4712 (09/4712). These were the latest examples we used for those taking the kingdom turn as well as the "after-turn" summary with all the updated stats and such.

There's a Kingdom Turn Spreadsheet that I have as well to calculate all the stats and such once each turn is taken - I can make that available via Google Docs if desired.

Oh and also a link to my image gallery where all of the hex and city grid maps are kept for the turns.

Pretty cool when I started looking back through it - we ran through 24 turns last year with Steven, Sigz, Celeador and myself.

Profile Tab updated!

Looking to reply to the latest Varnhold survivors post this evening (EST) when I get home and such.

That was a lot to catch up on post Gen Con!

I tend to favor the Core approach to things, but WBL is hard to maintain and still have fun with a good story. It also benefits me to work with experimental rules as a designer, so if you folk want to use this system, I'm bought in. I'll have Nikolai reskinned using automatic progressions and then address his equipment today if I can.

Hi Isaac. Here is the final 8th level Borodin. I still may play around with some scrolls instead of potions but that's minor stuff.

Borodin’s (8th Level) Leveling Notes:
INT +1
6th Level Magus
BAB +1
All Saves +1
HP +8 (5+3 CON) 71 total
+1 Hero Point 2 Total
Spells +1 Cantrip, +1 2nd Level
Magus Arcana: Flamboyant Arcana
FEAT: Retrain Improved Initiative to Blind Fight

Borodin’s Bonus Progression @8th Level:
Armor 2, Weapon 2, DEX 1, INT 1, STR 1, Resistance 1

Magic Items
MW Chain Shirt 250
Keen Aldori Dueling Sword 1,820 (Crafted by Verik)
Cloak of Endure Elements 1,000 (Crafted by Verik)
Winged Boots 8,000 (To Be Crafted by Verik)
Handy Haversack 2,000
MW Throwing Daggers 604
MW Composite Longbow 500
MW Thief Tools 100
Boots of Elvenkind 2,500
Spellguard Bracers 5,000
Blinkback Belt 5000gp
Martyr’s Tear 6000gp
MW Cold Iron Light Mace 310
Potions/Flasks 390

Total Wealth By Level 30,972/31,000

So..I'd find about 9k in items and 2 +1 progressions? In addition to reducing the armor to +2 and adding a defensive +1?

My buddy Shane will be a long in a bit to introduce himself. I'll try to have Nikolai finished soon.

Sounds about right.

Once we have all the new players on board and settled, we will move forward to the next storyline. Hopefully it won't take more than a few days to get everyone up to speed.

Anyone up for some interim posts of the next days/weeks/etc. ? Maybe a dialogue or how things look a couple weeks later in Varnhold, that sort of thing?

Verik will stay in Varnhold, defending it and starting the rebuilding plans and working to make camps and such until sufficient help arrives from the west. Also in his mind are plans for the winter that is soon coming (Neth would be like November I think).

Hey gang! I'm the buddy Shane that Steve was talking about. I love the look of the game, and am excited to potentially be a part of it. I'm getting caught up on things, and working on a character concept. Let me know what else I can or should be doing!

Thanks again, everyone!

Hello. Let me know what you are thinking of, both in terms of class and character concept.

Hey Shane - good to meet ya!

Thanks, Verduvai! And hello, DM Barcas! Should I put that stuff in here, or PM it to you, or..? Just let me know. I'm easy like Sunday Morning.

Whatever you're comfortable with. I also added you to the Facebook group for immediate answers to questions.

That is awesome! What's the group called? I'm not seeing anything on my Facebook account. That would be a handy way to narrow down my character concept, though. I have a vast, amorphous blob of character idea that I need help shaping.

As Steve and I are handling the Kingdom Building turns for this go-around, as mentioned above I've gotten all the tracking and summary sheets ready to go. After talking with Steve I'm going to go and take the first turn for 10/4712 (Lamashan), which was the month we were in to-date for Eye of the Cyclops.

Some thoughts before I post the turn here:
* Berrin mobilizes the main forces of Newhaven (1st Army & Mounted in Sanctuary, 2nd Army & Mounted in Dragonswatch) after the 25th of the month. Given this, I'm not including any consumption increase yet for the armies in the field. However, starting in Neth (11/4712) the consumption rate will go WAY up (+39 to consumption rate) since they're not garrisoned. So, this makes the last full month of "normal" improvements and expenditures. DM Question is how long the armies are 'in the field' from a week/month perspective - thru Calistril (02/4713)?

* Not sure if it is in Neth or Kuthona, but it appears we'll be adding the 14 hexes of Varnhold to our realm soon, increasing our control DC and consumption further - though some of the hexes are improved and such. Between that and the armies in the field, we're going to be stretched for winter. I'm assuming once we get to that we'll know how to add Varnhold city in its post-disaster form, as well as any other changes to Varnhold hexes.

* We were one turn away last time from adding a couple new towns to the south "Near Tuskdowns"(hex 03.13) and north "Moorvale" (hex 01.02) areas, which represents the Galtan refugees from the year as well as solidifying Newhaven on the Tuswkater/Candlemere lakes. Given what is about to happen in the Pitax-Mivon dispute, this looks to be pretty timely. In the north a fort will be converted to the settlement of Promise, which will get a couple of free buildings (barracks, stables) out of it. In the south will be the settlement of Candlewatch, with Candlemere Isle in the distance.

* It's a little fru-fru, but I'm spending BP on magical streetlamps and an everflowing spring for the "All-Faiths" Cathedral in Sanctuary's southern district, just to capstone the magnificence of that achievement. We're probably not going to be able to spend much on Sanctuary after this month. I'm also putting in a Shrine at Dragonswatch to represent Calistria there, and a Stockyards to take advantage of all the farms around the town.

Reporting for RP.

Me, too! Hi everyone!

Olla.

Jemini posted a little bit about her follower spending in the gamethread

Olla.

Jemini posted a little bit about her follower spending in the gamethread

Yeah that's pretty interesting for a Jemini development there. I want to play off of that on an interim post in an early Spring month, but haven't gotten there quite yet (as I have two others at Varnhold rolling around in my head). I figured I may play off of that in conjunction with Verik going through the crafted magical items he's doing for a few folks.

Nikolai is converted to the automatic bonus progression system. He took a level of barbarian with the following changes:

+1 barbarian 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ability Increase +1 Str
Skills: Acrobatics +1, Intimidate +1, Perception +1, Sense Motive +2, Stealth +1
Added Berzerker of Society and Survivor traits.
Added keen to dragonsbreath, and a quickrunner shirt
Favored Class Bonus: +1 Diplomacy

Are there any dice I don't suck with? I'm a barbarian, d12s. We go way back! Come on!

I'll be out on a beach excursion from today through Monday - I'll be checking in over the weekend but won't have my array of books/maps/sheets/etc. for any Kingdom Turn tracking or what-not. Heh maybe I can get some time to get those interim posts done that are rolling around in my mind...

Evie profile w/ background, up for review!

Quick question - do you guys want to do a series of short vignettes exporting the winter of 4712-13 or make the 4-5 month jump entirely? I had started writing based on the latter, but I can make the former work (as with Verik's story).

We could do both - jump to the main period but have brief flashbacks to events of the last few months.

Well you all know which way I like to play it, but I'll defer to the rest of you of course. I have a couple more I'd like to write tonight, as well as kingdom turn mechanics stuff. However, I can always put them in a spoiler once the current timeline moves forward.

I'm down for whatever. I do think the jump forward with some flashbacks would be interesting.

I'd be very happy with the "jump forward, flash backward" model.

The new errata file for Ultimate Combat made a few changes relevant to our game. Litany of Righteousness and Litany of Sloth now have "Will negates."

Edited Notes on Kuthona Turn: Consumption is very high, but reduced in part from prior Neth turn due to First Mounted being billeted at the new Candlewatch Barracks. First Army, Second Army and Second Mounted are still all "in the field" and chew up 11BP/per week consumption rate. Our other forces - including new Varnhold Pass Border Company, Varnhold Militia Companies and Kharkarov's Free Company - are billeted and therefore only chew up a combined 12BP/per month consumption rate.

Control DC is a bit ugly, but treasury going to repair/rebuild Varnhold, with Candlewatch being the other place to build a bit. All other efforts are going to creating and improving armies...and keeping enough treasury in reserve to survive the next month's consumption rates.

City Maps Updated! Referenced here as well as from the Maps link at the top of the Campaign Info Tab.

Added the towns of Promise, Candlewatch and Varnhold. Also updated the other city grid maps with their changes as well as a few building name edits.

Kingdom size of 96? We've grown quite a bit. I don't know what specific rule set we're following - but by the original Kingmaker mechanics above 80 hexes we're an official kingdom and Jemini's modifier applies to all three (Stability, Economy, Loyalty) - is that the case?

So very close we are ... but according to UC Kingdom Building rules now it's at 101.

At one draft, I had Kesten raise the same worried point that it might be an elaborate plot between them to entrap our army between theirs. I omitted it, but I'm glad that it found its way in.
