Yes please take care of yourself and your family.
There are lots of people having a really hard time this year and we would much rather have you whole and healthy then worried about a game.
Was anyone still suffering from any afflictions that needed tending to?
I'm not sure we resolved the drained levels from the vampire spawns, even if I'm sure I posted a roll somewhere
(ooc]Lest I forget, maybe add eventual spell bonus (resistance?)[/ooc]
Fort save vs level drain: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 = 14(28 July post)
(DC, hopefully, should be 14 at max.^^)
It's been a very long day in real time, but I believe Nargun has 2 negative levels, and Devan, Mirela and Atticus all have 1 negative levels.
I believe it's 380 a person for whoever wants the spell.
That would clear all your negative levels.
If you chose not to pay then you have to make a Fort Save for each level.
For any failures the level becomes permanent. Then the cost to remove it becomes 1280.
If you make your save vs the DC then the level just goes away.
Just to be clear you can also use Harrow points to reroll Con saves this adventure.
Let me know who wants healing and we can finish that up and end the day.
By the way sorry things have moved so slow. I'm in 11+ hour days at work plus the family so finding time to post has been hard.
You said it yourself that it has been a tough year and there are plenty of things that take priority at the moment. I think a slower pace under the circumstances is understandable.
I'll move on when Nargun decides what he wants to do.
Leveled up!

I assume you are still in the common room, and will tell me when you want to talk to the cloaked figure in the dining room... Until then enjoy your roleplay.
Shall I move you on to talk to Ben?
Since I can't Edit the Roll20 maps and I don't want to take this away from GM Dak, Linking the map on my name.
Sorry for the sparse posting, December is turning out to be busier than I had anticipated. I should be able to post more frequently in January.
Hey everyone. It's January and I'm looking at starting to get back into my games. Things have finally settled a bit in my life so I'm going to slowly start picking things back up over the coming weeks until I am back at full speed. Wanted to see if you all were interested in me jumping back in soon, or were happy continuing on the way you have been.
Hi GM Dak, its good to hear that you are doing well.
Hi GM Dak.
Glad to hear life is going better for you.
Feel free to jump in whenever you are ready. I can hold down the fort as need be, but I have always been planning to just keep the seat warm for you.
So in my view work us in as it fits with your schedule.
Mirela has been filling in quite nicely, but I'll be glad to get everyone settled back into their roles, Dak. Nice to hear from you!
No problem with me if you need a few days to switch roles with GM Kai so
Mirella can play with us again
Great, I'll work on catching up on things and then getting back into the GM seat. Mirela, once I've caught up I'll PM you with any questions and we can initiate the official swap over.
Sorry my computer hasn't been able to log in until now after the site crash last weekend.
It must have had some bad cookies because it only let me back in after I cleared the Cache. Not ghosting you all.
Did we lose Devan and Aticus? I was waiting for them to react before we move on.
Do you all want to wait for Devan and Atticus or move on?
Maybe we should move on, hoping they will join back soon
I am back. Had some rough weeks.
I hope things are better now.
what is the situation now? It's been a while since we had news from Atticus and Devan.
I'd like this game to continue, so should we try to pause and recruit two new players?
It does seem like we lost two players....
I just hope they are just busy in RL and it’s nothing worse.
I would also like the game to continue.
Any word from DM Dak?
I am open to finding a new player though it is very unfortunate that we have lost two of the original characters. We had a really good group.
I was just wondering whether we also need to be looking for a new GM at the same time.
We have no news from GM Dak either, unfortunatly. So I guess we'll need another GM too...
Yep it's been a few months now. Not sure if GM is coming back.
Down two players and being exhausted from long days at work, has not been encouringing for me to get this moving again.
I'm sad because this really was a good group for a long time.
I'd like this game to continue.
Let's give ourselves a few days off to make up our minds, and on the 6th April, we talk about either starting recruitment for 2 players and a new GM, or bringing an end to this very good game
Well, here we are.
This group had a unique feel to it and the loss of two of our members will change that dynamic pretty substantially. I had a character set piece involving everyone that I was working towards that might be a little odd now :/
That being said I am still invested in the game and the remaining characters and am willing to move forward with the right replacements.
I"m sad. I was really looking forward to that character set piece. And honestly don't quiet know how Mirella will act without Devan around to bounce off of.
But given this was my favorite game, I would still be interested in moving forward with the right group.
Does someone want to open this up to people in the recruitment forum?
I'll try to post something on recruitment tonight, or earlier if I can (french time)
I am going to re-post the build rules taking into consideration our new level. Any suggestions on what the starting wealth should be?
I was also wondering, should we get a GM before we start adding a new player? The new GM might have some personal preferences for a new addition, or at the very least we want to make sure there is actually a game before recruiting.
Any thoughts?
Character Build Rules
1) Characters should be level 6. Core races only (no exceptions). Any class indicated in Paizo-published material is acceptable.
2) 20 pt buy. No obvious min-maxing please. Should not be above 18 after racial bonuses, nor under 8 (without a good reason). Please consider how you will role-play your character when making stats. An 8 CHA will need to be played that way.
3) HP should be full HD at first level and then will be PFS-style (1/2 HD +1) for subsequent levels.
4) Character's should be considered heroes, and as such, will not be of evil alignment. Others are acceptable, but be prepared to role-play the alignment you choose.
5) As stated above any Paizo-published items will be considered. No 3PP will be allowed.
6) Starting wealth will be XXXgp.
Tips for Successful Submissions (These are preferences, so follow them at your own peril)
1) Characters traits, feats, alignment, gear, stats etc should be part of a cohesive whole that fits the character. It's obvious when a PC is built for optimization only, and I'll be looking past those. Instead, the submissions that get my focus, have a backstory and history that ties the whole build together.
2) Be Role-Play friendly. A silent thuggish type, or a schizophrenic paranoid may be fun to build, but the opportunities to interact with others are limited. I am looking for a team that works well together and can communicate.
3) Remember your character starts at first level. An incredibly complicated backstory where your hero has survived many trial and tribulations probably doesn't fit well into a first level character background. Choice selections will have a story that fits their experience, which is limited.
4) Party balance is important to me. Typically will need a front line hitter, an arcane type, a divine type, a skill monkey, and a wild-card to make it work. Consider who else has applied if you want a good chance of making the game.
5) This is an urban adventure based in Korvosa, which is the leading city of Varisia. Characters who are built and fit this area will have preference. The Players Guide for this adventure may give some important tips.
As far as the GM or players first is concerned, either could work:
Maybe a GM would like to have a say in the recruiting of one or two new players
or maybe having an already created team of players just needing a GM could be an incentive enough
I'm not sure how close or how far we are from "regular" wealth for our level, I suppose we might be a little low. We should check on the loot sheet, that could help
Probably GM first.... Players often want to play right away and we don't want to get them in then have them lose the desire to play because we are waiting weeks for the GM to start.
Items 3 and four for the Character build rules should probably be modified... They aren't 1st level and we are really looking for a Skill monkey and wildcard... The party is actually reasonably balanced. with just the three of us.
I will take GM SuperTumbler's advice and start a separate GM specific recruitment thread.
I posted a gm recruitment thread and linked it to the main game here so potential GM's could see what we have done so far. Feel free to add to the thread.
I might have a DM interested in picking up the game.
Ok, GMKarlprosek just wanted us to be sure that we would be happy with his gming style so I have a link Here to one of the games he is running if you would like to have a look over the weekend and see if either of you have any concerns.
Hey I am looking for a game and don't mind stepping in at six if you get the gm you are looking for. I am open to rping anything really and and could read through and try to pick up one of the original players characters if you'd like to keep their feel.
I really don't feel comfortable about someone else playing Devan or Atticus.
As much as it would fit the story, that just feels wrong to me. I'd rather have a new character, Aleira or some NPC come back.
But Not Devan or Atticus.
No problem just making an offer, I am pretty much open to what I play
So what are our thoughts? Are there any concerns or should I give GmKarlprosek the thumbs up?
No concern from me, anyway.
I understand it will take a few days for him to get ready to GM, of course
Ok, I will see if I can get things set up then.
Hi all. I've been talking to Twilight about taking over this game. I've run a few games here on the boards and am currently running three. Feel free to check them out if you'd like to see how I am as a DM. I haven't run CotCT before but I've heard good things about the AP. I've read through the first two adventures and reviewed the main set pieces in your Gameplay thread and would be glad to run the game for you.
If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. At the moment I'm anticipating a first gameplay post next Monday, April 19.
Assuming you're all amenable, I'll go ahead and put in a request to take ownership of this campaign.
