Zil - do you want some help with the school? Mel is planning on taking leadership, either now or at some point soon (aka 9th). I can take it now and use a lot of the low level followers to staff the school if you'd like?
Sure, we could make it a team effort!
So I'll Chair of the Board of Patrons and you can be Headmistress?
Somehow I think with Zil involved that phrase takes on a whole other meaning....
Also - Persona!
Phase 1:
Phase 2:
EDIT: @Brainiac. Do I qualify for any of the bonuses to my leadership score? I imagine I could get Followers +2 (for having a base in Stachys), and a -1 (for moving around a lot).
Hopefully for Cohort I get +1 for fairness and generosity? I can always give them a farm if that helps? ;)
The headmistress should probably be a cohort so that we're freed up to go adventuring.
Also, I replied to your IC query.
Thanks - just been doing my level up so IC stuff will follow. :)
As to a cohort I don't know what I'll do about that. There's no-one who fits the bill yet so I'll leave it be and see what comes up I think. (Maybe I could get a unicorn! :D)
New armor probably somewhat like this
Ah; TERA - source of endless fanservice.
BTW; Melodie, did you catch my question last page about changes to the loot split? Changes from keeping the coffee, mainly.
Now for the persona stuff and levelling.
Ahh - questions.
Taking the coffee has no implications - its just 1.5K of your loot taken in coffee instead of cash.
Also Mel won't take the headband - I've got 2 head slot items already, I don't need a third! :D Given that Eutropia has given us all 1k gold though I will take the metamagic rod by putting in equivalent cash.
Basically - loot splits don't change at all! :D (and Mel has loads of gear now!)
Fair enough. And I think the band might be useful for Maria as well, assuming one of those spellbooks we took has fly in it. If only to get the extra ranks in fly and not go crashing into a tree when the wind picks up.
EDIT: Speaking of; there a list of what was in those spellbooks? Figure now's a good a time as any to start adding to Maria's Formula Book.
Melodie, those Leadership modifiers are fine.
Maria, the spellbooks have every 1st and 2nd level spell available, as well as several others up to 5th level. No specific list is given, but you can choose a dozen or so spells from each level to copy into your formula book, fly included.
So Zil.
I get 1x Level 2 NPC and 10 Level 1's at the moment. They're all lower levels than yours so feel free to distribute them as you think sensible.
Are we going to turn Bettony into the school? I assume that's the plan? We don't exactly have many other facilities right now...

I'll sort it out in the morning when decongestant tablets aren't kicking my arse (bloody hayfever - and of course I live in a corner of Queensland called "The Garden City"; means I know when the Carnival of Flowers is coming up even when I don't see the notices about the upcoming road closures for the parade).
I may have to make her formula book a separate google doc. Was originally planning to just add them to the Spellcasting tab of the sheet as she got them, but if I'd known that the adventure had a find like those spell books, I'd have set up a separate doc from day one.
On another note; I just realised there's no limit on how many infusions I can have. It's just a blanket change to all of the Alchemist's/Investigator's extracts. They're still single-target-only so I can't get everyone airborne (and they're basically potions so handing them out is a little trickier than just passing out a spell) but something to think about going forward.
So many conversations!
*sits back with a large tub of popcorn*
Went to respond to Sara's post about a lap dance and then it was gone.
*sad face*
I reworded it
What if Zhi and Melodie have difficulty conceiving? Could be intriguing
Also does anyone else want a tattoo when we're all black out drunk or does anyone have any suggestions about the party? Do we wanna role play it on screen or at least do a series of vignettes or do it hangover style where we all wake up on a garbage barge and several of us have magical tattoos
I seriously want a Mesmerising Tattoo - would be ridiculously good for me (Compelling Voice doing -4 to your will save at 8th level? Yes please!) but I don't have anythign like the money, and I need to get Zhi a wedding gift, so Mel's might have to wait - although she'll make the effort if someone else ends up with a cool one to go back and get one herself!
Frankly I like the idea of Zhi and Mel bailing early and Zil, Maria and Sara turning up the next morning hung-over and tattoo'd! :D
EDIT: difficulty conceiving? You had to go and add more drama didn't you Sara? It's a good idea though! :P
What if Zhi and Melodie have difficulty conceiving? Could be intriguing
That's what the tea is for; that particular variety is reputed to increase fertility. :)
We need at least vignettes.
There's going to be at least one dirty dancing scene with Zhi and Mel. ;) And who knows what else Zhi might do with too many drinks in her.
She is actually thinking about a special purpose tattoo right now.
Are we talking 'Time of My Life' dirty dancing or 'Moulin Rouge' dirty dancing? Both could be fun ;)
Plus the NPCs might have some fun moments. When you get a chance, give me a full list of everybody who is invited please. :)
Yeah, we're most definitely talking, 'Hey, you two, get a room!'
All I heard was miscalleny society friends, Alista Crag, Lady Paril and Malphene. I think the Crabbes or the Baroness would be funny invites, as would Martella. I really wanna invite Lucretzia but given the bad blood between her and Melodie idk if that's a great idea
Sure, let's invite the Crabbes, the Baroness, and Martella. They may not come, but at least they'll feel included. I bet Sara could get away with Lucretzia if she wasn't in full 'Night Swan' mode.
Zhi's planning on keeping Melodie occupied anyways. :)
In all honesty, I'd be more worried about mixing Malphene and Lucretzia.
Malphene is a huge uptight noble snob who understands my politics and supports me despite our differences and Lucretzia is an uptight noble snob who disagrees with my politics and thinks people like Malphene's father deserved to die in the Exaltation Massacre
Maybe I won't invite her
God I want to bring the Princess to a burlesque/S&M club, THAT sounds hilarious
Invite her! The Princess I mean. Have her wear one of the many masks the ladies have. :)
Don't tell Zhi, though.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
So the list is Alista Crag, Baroness Voinum, Sepsinia and Parthena Crabbe, Malphene, Martella, Eutropia-in-a-bird-mask, Lady Paril, Melodie, Zhi, Maria(?), Zileska and Sara
Also again it's burlesque so even tho there are St. Andrew's crosses and lap dancers, the rest won't be quite as explicit as a normal real life strip club
But Zhi and Melodie probably don't know the difference
G#%*$!nit - every bloody morning I check this and like two pages have gone up while I was asleep. Bloody time zones.
Haven’t checked the IC stuff yet, but Maria would probably turn down the invite - burlesque and booze isn’t really her thing.
Yeah but it's for Melodie
Ok. I'm so ready for this. So who's setting the scene?
I can later tonight
Eutropia and Martella will be too busy to attend, but everybody else invited will show up.
Damn. I was about to express surprise that everyone else wanted to go along until I realized how down each of the Meratt crew would be with booze, strippers and gambling on someone else's tab (well not the gambling part on my tab but still)
Zhi will share some of the cost, if you'd like. She doesn't have a lot left after her shopping trip, but probably enough to help pay for the party.
Yeah but it's for Melodie
Maybe, but Maria would be too worried that Melodie seeing her not enjoy herself - in specifically just looking bored and uninterested in where they were - would distract her from enjoying her bachelorette party. So in Maria's mind, it would be better for Melodie if Maria didn't attend.
Ah, overlooked Lady Paril. I don't think this would really be her cup of tea, so she will sit this one out, too. So the guests beside party members are Alista, both Crabbes, and Baroness Voinum.
I probably won't post for them until the morning, when I will have time to do some decidedly NSFW searches for their outfits.
And Malphene
Right, Malphene
I feel your pain on timezones Maria - I was up late posting and I still meet 25 new posts in total.
On the other hand, this party is going to be hilarious! :D
Is Maria coming to Oppara at all? If not then she can have her own fun at the manor house! ;)
She'll be coming to Oppara at least - if nothing else to check in on Darius for some enchanting work and sort out moving some more of her stuff from her dad's place over to Stachys (like her pet cat, for one).
Almost forgot! Deposing Bartelby and restoring the palace to Eutropia was certainly a trirumph. Your relics have increased in power:
Dignity's Barb: Dignity's Barb is now a +2 seeking darkwood light crossbow. The wielder can use its ability to roll twice to confirm a critical hit twice per day (though he can use it only once on a given critical threat). In addition, the wielder can attempt a lucky shot to foil a ranged attack. Once per day when a ranged weapon attack targets a creature within 30 feet of the wielder, the wielder can shoot Dignity's Barb at the projectile as an immediate action. He rolls a ranged attack, and if the result exceeds the attacker's roll, that attack is negated. This ability can be used only if Dignity's Barb is loaded or if the wielder can use Rapid Reload or a similar ability.
Envoy's Ring: The wearer can activate the ring to use charm person at will, though if a creature succeeds at its save, it can't be targeted again for 24 hours. The ring can also be activated to use charm monster (DC = 20 + 1 per additional triumph attained) once per day.
Koriana's Balde: Koriana's Blade is now a +3 defending short sword. Another randomly chosen gem repairs itself.
Subtle Mask: The mask grants the wearer a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma. When the wearer mentally activates the mask, she also detects magical effects as if she were using arcane sight and concentrating on the creature. This happens automatically during the first round of concentration.
Finally got around to updating the Dramatis Personae in the campaign info tab. Let me know if I missed any NPCs! :D
Koriana's Blade
1) Black Gem
2) Pink Gem
3) Green Gem
Negative energy it is.
Ok, I've thought it over, Zhi would be played by Lana Condor.
I've been thinking about which actors might play the NPCs. Here's the list I came up with:
Adella Voinum: Alison Janney
Sepsinia Crabbe: Selma Blair
Parthena Crabbe: Melissa McCarthy
Alista Cragus: Rachel Brosnahan
Malphene Trant: Ronda Rousey
Night Swan: Charlize Theron
Onora Piscum: Thandie Newton
Princess Eutropia: Emily Blunt
Martella Lotheed: Sarah Shahi
Araig Telus: Chris Pine
Nicolaus Okerra: Idris Elba
Bartelby Lotheed: Jerry O'Connell
Maxillar Pythareus: Josh Brolin (a la Cable in Deadpool 2)
Archbanker Paril: Lucy Liu
Kurana: Elizabeth Banks (a la Rita Repulsa in Power Rangers)
Titus Lotheed-Casava: Josh Gad
Gul Gusairne: Crispin Glover
Gul Gusairne: Crispin Glover
Ok, now I'm glad Zhi killed him. That guy is creepy.
I'm curious about who'd play Sara, Maria, and Zileska.
*raises an eyebrow and looks at other players in expectation*
This is the picture I use for Sara, so probably Tomb Raider era Angelina Jolie.
Wow, those are some guns.
Beefy! 0.o
Yeah I figure, 16 STR, gonna have some meat on your bones
I have no idea who would be cast for Zileska. It's hard to cast for non- and semi-humans due to the body types, after all.
Is Zileska at the party? I don't wanna rush along and breeze past anyone
