DM Carbide's The Dragon's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master John Woodford

If I ever play this, I'm going to have to play a barbarian or something, because it'll otherwise be tough to separate player and character knowledge at critical junctures.

I take it like this as I am playing and GMing a game of Hell's Rebels. Blissful ignorance for the sake of fun.

The other thing is that outside of PFS no one runs things quite as written, so even when you know the AP you don't know what the GM might mess with.

Even in PFS I've seen some leeway depending, mostly older scenarios which have faction problems.

So, how does this work in terms of Chronicle Sheets? Will you just send them to us when appropriate? And do we need to give you a character to apply it to?

I'll send you all of the chronicle sheets at the end of the module. Incidentally, for HP roll d4+4.

Is that for the d8 hit die?

1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Yep. All of you have d8s, so that's what I specified. The general case is HP for dx = d(x/2) + x/2.

1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

hp: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Insightful Strike comes online! Then comes the drinking...glug glug glug....

Cool. Huc and Fynn are updated. :)

So, divvying up the Baronness’s payment, we all get 1,025g, correct?

Of the stuff listed on the Loot sheet, does anyone want to claim any of those items? (mostly i guess this is a question for Temperance.)

Then, hopefully the daggers are the keys to that stash of chests and we’ll get something good out of it. :D

HP: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5    Whad’ya know?

Hey, but thanks to Carbide's generosity, that still nets you PFS standard HP. :D

So, looking at my build, something isn’t adding up. I think Hero Lab adds an extra skill point AND hit point if you choose either as your favored class bonus. Unless there is something I’m missing, I’ll probably have to adjust that.

Psst ... Fast Learner feat (which you took)

Hah ha, THERE it is! Okay, thanks - I totally forgot about that.

So, divvying up the Baronness’s payment, we all get 1,025g, correct?

I thought Platinum pieces were only worth 10GP? Wouldn’t that make it 125GP each? I mean, I like your numbers better…

Ha! I think you're right.

... unfortunately.

If it is the dagger then damn, that is a pretty good puzzle.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about with separating player and character knowledge.

Arien is right--you get 125 gp each from the Baroness.

So 125 plus the new 410 = 535g each, correct?

Correct.

I'll be moving things along tomorrow, likely--busy day at work, and I have music practice tonight.

Master Temperance, did you decide to keep any of the kobold gear? I think we should sell whatever you don’t want, for a bit of extra scratch.

Temperance can take a spear and a sling. We can sell the rest, as it's not monk-kosher.

Scratch that. Neither are monk weapons and won't benefit from Insightful Strike. Sell 'em all!

What the hell, it isn't updating again? I'm gonna pm support for this. This the third time this has happened.

I'm at a con this weekend, and will not be able to post.

Hey guys.

Oranna here.

New account? Why?

PM me.

Proud parent here. My daughter just took best in show for the masquerade. She went as a genderswapped Oogie Boogie from Nightmare before Christmas, and did a musical number singing to a Santa Claus stuffy. Had the audience singing along. It was great.

Did she do the best she could? :)

PM me.

I don't think I will. But if you'd like to explain why right here, I'm all ears.

Let's say of a nature bad things happened. Not that bad though.

Kid-nap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box… bury him for 90 years, then see if he talks!

So that’s stuck in my head, now.

I don't even know what that's from.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

That was going to be my guess, but I only vaguely remember that movie.

Did she do the best she could? :)

Why, yes. Yes, she did. As in, one of the judges from last year's masquerade was going to drop in on the three judges and ask them who won before realizing that she really didn't need to ask. Also, the judges' decision was unanimous and immediate.

More to come soon, as I haven't had a lot of blocked time at work the past couple of days.

Quitting is the obvious solution.

Sorry about the long break--work was starting to settle down, and then I got some heavy family stuff to deal with. We'll see how things go from here.

Understood, man. Family first. Hope things settle soon. :)

Thanks. I'm hoping they're at least stabilizing; basically, my mom had to be taken off anticoagulants because her docs were worried that in the near term she was more likely to injure herself falling and bleed out than have a stroke. However, in the longer term coming off the meds means a stroke is (as they put it) a matter of when, not if. So, yeah. The thing is, the meds have also induced something called vascular dementia, which is just what it sounds like. So even though she was part of the decision process to go off the warfarin, she doesn't remember it, so she's going along as though nothing has changed. On our part, we just have to spend as much time with her as we can.

On a marginally lighter topic, I can't tell if we've lost Oranna for good. Their previous account was apparently suspended, and they haven't posted anything in their new account for a week. If I don't hear anything I'll bot the character in the near term, and if I don't hear anything in the longer term I think we're still early enough in the game that a replacement will still get the full array of chronicles.

I'm incredibly sorry to hear about your mom. I can't imagine what all that is like, and I'm not even sure what to say.

As for Oranna; that stinks. I hope I didn't exacerbate it by not responding to her in PM, but it was just odd that she popped on asking us to PM her, as opposed to just PM'ing us.

*shrugs*

Oh well. Hopefully either she's still here or we can find a good replacement quickly.

Perhaps she violated some TOS and didn't want to mention it publicly...I shall hope for the best.

Yeah, both accounts seemed shut down (No option to PM) last I checked.
