DMDM's Way of the Wicked, Part II: The Dark Tower

Game Master Douglas Muir 406

I am sure you two will get along like sisters! Game of throne sisters...lol.

I used a similar term as well on the same date.

-

'Traveling with only three men, sweetest cousin? ' Cуровую looks genuinely puzzled.

'Are they particualrty potently virile or have you become more conservative in your old age?'

'Then again, your special variation of Enlarge did wonders when your harem was small in number.'

Cуровую is one part bluster, one part bluff, one part thanking fate that Bref and Dren are in the same area, two parts playing the Game her siblings have done for millennia.

Who has a zombie?

'Helen' gave you a proper send off.

Not that you care.

Prick.

Dren helped remove what was useful from Xenfal and expected the Crows to clean up the rest...that is the send off you can expect from him :]

The Judge used all his willpower and did not consume his former companion. That's pretty good, right?

considering I now share a 1 bedroom flat w a disgusting gibbering goblin...you are correct I don't care!

teeheeteeheeheehee

Hey, I said something nice about him right after he died.

Hey, I said something nice about him right after he died.

Given that he died saving your life, that seems like a low-ish bar to clear.

Will we get to see the interaction with Irin and clarification/explanation for Cуровую's ... episode?

lol, he is actually able to clear that bar by dragging his feet.

I have been thinking of this as the 'reward' for that troublesome monk even BEFORE the staff switched hands, I was thinking Cуровую would owe Enver a favor and would have requested a copy of a spell to create undead. Who knew Enver was not a Necromancer, or that he was a traitor or that he would wind up as one of his cherished creations.

Now Cуровую owes one to Raisa. And Jax's booty.

Enver would never ever ever have helped you -- he hated you. He hated everybody. Dude had issues.

Jax can follow up on this, or not. ("Yes, I'm sad too! Let's hug.")

Will we get to see the interaction with Irin and clarification/explanation for Cуровую's ... episode?

Any interaction with Irin will have to be brief. She's got some kind of scry-spoofing spell up to cover the Cardinal's visit, but it's only good for about a quarter of an hour, and more than half that time has elapsed already.

The episode... feel free to ask Zimu directly!

argh, the updates didn't show up!

Is this too pretty to be Farholde?

I sent you some amazing material DM crafted, but more on Cуровую and Irin after this busy weekend.

Edmin cried on the inside, I swear.

All tough men are softies inside.

Shedding blood is my purpose, the sword murmurs. Everything dies eventually. Why draw things out?

Jax what did you name your sword?

Is this too pretty to be Farholde?

No, could do. Maybe a /little/ pretty, but not bad.

Jax what did you name your sword?

It named itself.

Still reading, guessing I am close to that part.

I figure that Farholde is closer to this town.

Svolvaer, Norway.

Farholde is a long way from anywhere, so they're not easily going to restock. However, you can order items made for you, of any cost up to the purchase limit (20,000). Roll the base chance above (75% divine, 50% arcane); that's your chance of finding someone to do it for you this week. If you fail, you can retry in a week. Crafting in this town takes one day per 500 gp value or fraction thereof. So, if you wanted someone to make you a 4,500 gp item, it would take nine days.

Chance to find someone to make a Belt of Giant Strength.1d100 ⇒ 36

Will take 8 days to make.

Oh would you prefer a barkskib then Edmin?

Not sure. Edmin is more of an attack type of guy. Bull. Strength is more to his liking.

It doesn't stack with your belt is all. Bull str is a +4 str enhancement

In any event either potion at cl 6 costs 300 gp ( 600 retail)

So folks just place your orders. Each one takes a day to brew. Cheaper potions at a lower cl can be brewed in 2 hours

I have to travel for work the next two days, I am only 17 posts behind in game play and 5 in ooc, that's not too bad and Monday is my first total day off from school and work in three weeks so mega catch up by then.

Xen, and Jax, thanks for keeping track of the party money, what was each of our shares, I saw your posts but I just want to clarify.

Cуровую can also make scrolls, DM would she have had time to make a few on the barge trip?

I can also post all scrolls made in this thread so they are both the correct level and accounted for.

Whatever the last post was that said what everyone's share was (might still be in xen's profile) zimu plus whatever the amount I posted everyone got from selling the raven and boots

I thought they were useful, why did Jax not keep the boots? I read the description.

I think I mentioned before, I am actually very good with math (financials in particular) but that's real world, I am sure I would screw up game math because the costs of magic and created items throw me off, not the numbers but the rules for minimum caster level or if something has a special component that has to be paid for as well.

So in other words, I would help but I'm sure you guys are better at it.

oh guys i can also make lesser restoration potions...do we want any?

i need to learn the mental stat boost spells and CMW

need to learn the mental stat boost spells

Cуровую has those covered f some of the others need them.

And, I think this is the very definition of fortuitus.

Plus to be honest scrolls are half the price of half price potions...never liked that potions are more expensive than scrolls. I might change that in my next game.

Cy I had you make me several scrolls per my previous post:
The following scrolls made:
Invisibility 75gp
Magic Missle (3rd) x2 75gp
Mirror Image x2 150gp

Was thinking you made these on the journey to town.

I meant that I can make them into potions zimu, when I have some money I will scribe then to my book

Anyhow in case people don't know I can make potions of anything w that does not have a range of personal

Cimu, do you have Detect or Seek Thoughts? This would be -very- useful in talking with the Eighth Knot :D

Why I love New York

loving the cutscenes. Gaian and Tekunel references, oh my.

Anyone caught what this means?

ps. im actually lurking on like 3-4 threads for this adventure.. it's very interesting to see how each group responds to things.

I am curious, are other groups as pushed to the edge by the DM as we are? What's the death toll on other threads?

Why I love New York

** spoiler omitted **...

Dammit now you're making me miss it.

The funny thing is, I was never a young adult in NYC -- I was a kid and a teenager, and then we moved away. I was a regular visitor when I was in grad school, but taking the train down from CT is not really the same thing.

Someone once said, "live in Manhattan, but leave before it makes you hard; live in San Francisco, but leave before it makes you soft."

HERE is the Farhold info, DMDM maybe you want to put the link into the Campain tab?

link

Would DM please consider putting this link in the campaign tab?

Someone once said, "live in Manhattan, but leave before it makes you hard; live in San Francisco, but leave before it makes you soft."

The quote I remember is, "Live and love in California but leave before it makes you soft and lazy, Live and learn in New York but leave before you become jaded and hard."

There's also, "No matter how hard they try, don't let those bastards cheer you up."

Wups, before I forget.

So dm any luck w my checks for local herbs I can utilize to make something useful?

While there were quite a few Bref fans and everyone misses Xen, the new kobold being ignored (even unintentionally) is a rather amusing schtick.

The Town Farholde has a modest but lively criminal underworld, with many of the local thieves and thugs being graduates of the Baron's own orphanage. Baron Vandermir is not a crimelord himself, but is a silent partner in some of the more profitable enterprises and uses his contacts to collect information.

I feel Jax would be ideal for this, and something we can look into later.

Gives assignments.

For now, whenever we discuss the Eighth Knot we will do so very, very quietly using Message, code words and phrases of our choosing (Elise is 'moldy cheese') and never at great length. Preferably we will pass notes to each other and no words are exchanged at all.

These discussions, and any of importance are by necessity and insistence are at the center of Baron's residence, to at least prevent the Eighth from scrying if he has defenses up.

While there were quite a few Bref fans and everyone misses Xen, the new kobold being ignored (even unintentionally) is a rather amusing schtick.

Sure am folks. I would appreciate it someone, anyone would reply to ANYTHING.

I never saw your first question about herbs?

And while ignoring the kobold might be fun -- hey, he does have a very low Cha -- it's probably not a good way to go forward.

Why just because he likes poison?
