DM Harpwizard’s Heroes of Elsir Vale (Inactive)

Game Master GM Harpwizard

Merry Christmas everyone!

Yep Merry Xmas!

I'm back from the bush too now - amazing views of fantastic canyons, a variety of colourful birds, and the odd wallaby and kangaroo! Only one snake.

Tomkin,

The Litany of Righteousness did not penetrate the Spell Resistance so I did not add the extra damage. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have you doing 49 points of damage with two attacks. I took off the damage resistance leaving you at 39 points of damage against J22.

Hit them with +2 glaive. So sounds right.

Another power supply detonated on me and took some things with it. Bear with me.

"Another?" This is a regular occurrence?

Not sure if this matters, but Tomkin is an outsider, not humanoid.

Many say lunge is a crappy feat. I find it useful.

ok, regarding the Eyes of the Dragon...

ON page 206 about 1/3 of the way down (the post after Mirrin's first post on that page) I had a spoiler that contained this:

Eyes of the Dragon:
1 Red-Tirion
1 Blue-Bofus
2 Green-(provide Resist Acid: 10) Bofus
2 White-(provide Resist Cold: 10) Tirion
2 Black-(provide Resist Acid: 10) DMHW, Brindol
I'd forgotten to let Red carry any. Red, I think we can trust you enough to carry some of the Eyes of the Dragon--you OK iwth that?

I think Bofus might invite Red and Tirion to pay the Harp Wizard a visit, to chat about the gems and see what he thinks we might do with them--shoudl we RP that out?

However this last, most important part was pretty much forgotten, it looks like...this was the last mention of such a discussion. We immediately started talking about teleporting to the Gorge to shorten our trip.

So, clearly I wanted to talk to DMHW (the in-game character) about the gems he was holding. However, either no one else noticed it, or thought it was important enough to discuss--and it clearly slipped my mind during the teleport discussion.

The question is...is that how we leave it?

EDIT: Boy, I'm glad I took the time to keep reading!! 2 pages later, I found that i said this:

With any luck, though, if we *do* need to get our hands on the last 2 quickly ,I can message DMHW with a feather token, and he can magick them to us.

Let's assume that you received the last two Eyes of the Dragon from the Harpwizard in Brindol. I am fine with that. Otherwise, this campaign would end in a lot more destruction than anticipated.

However, let's establish clearly who holds all of the gems.

Bofus: 2 Blue, 2 Green
Tirion: 2 Red, 2 White
Rebel Red: 2 Black

Does this sound about right?

Great! Start crushing :p

Sorry for the delay at this crucial moment when I should be rolling initiative. Yesterday I fell on the ice landing really hard on my back. Today my muscles are spasaming and I can barely move without wincing. I went to the walk in clinic tonight and they took X-rays. Fortunately nothing is broken.

dude, relax and recoup. we'll wait. BAck injuries are nothing to pooh-pooh!

Glad to hear you are ok :)

Post tommorrow. Dealing with legal shit today. Also found out my wife's aunt is basically trying to convince someone to mortgage our house to bail out the boyfriend of hers that molested my daughter.

That sounds horrific! Take care of yourself and do what you need to do.

You have my best wishes and support. Enablers almost disappoint me more than the offenders.

How's the back DMHW?

Thanks for asking, Bofus.

I have been seeing a chiropractor every few days. He is really pleased with my progress and so am I. It hurts a little bit when I twist and such, but it is so much better than last week. Life is slowly returning to normal. I can do most tasks around the house, but I have not gotten back to exercising. I will probably start with a snowshoe this weekend and then move up to skiing soon.

You need to get better, we have a big con in a few weeks.

Are you going? I never heard back from you. You better get on the Warhorn!

I thought I responded, do you still have space in the room? I could have sworn I got back to you, oops.

I'm signed up. Will be bringing an inflatable mattress :-)

Tirion, we will be tight, but that's fine with me. My mom always says, "Come awa in. there's always room for one more."

We have Chris, Mike, another Chris, Jason, me and You, Plus add three kids. Most everyone is fine with floor space. I just hope they give us plenty.

Mirrin,

I want to resolve your actions before Tiamat's turn. Many lives could depend on it. Please post at your earliest convenience.

Seconded!!!

Tirion, you are up. Are you out there?

Hurray Everyone!

I want to thank you for all of your participation and for seeing this adventure through to the end. We started this campaign on March 11, 2011 and over 11 thousand posts later we have reached its conclusion. Congratulations to Bofus who was here from the beginning and to Tirion who came along shortly afterwards! The three college kids who started this campaign with us were my former students in high school and have gone on to graduate from university in the years since this began. To all of you, I appreciate your dedication to role playing and your perseverance and patience. I also thank you for making my first attempt at online GMing such a great experience.

In the week to come, I am happy to role play out the final closure back in Brindol and the celebrations that will occur. You would all gain an experience level.

Truly this is a campaign I had always wanted to run and I am honored to have done it with such an awesome company! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks for inviting me. I tried to get a little romance going. Just as Seinfeld realized they needed to add Elaine after no female characters, it was nice you added the dragoncaller.

Bofus was a treat. I think he is the best man. He would organize a great bachelor's party.

DMHW - I have also had a blast. It was fun playing with Mantooth, Thordak, Mantooth and Zyren, as well as Tomkin, Mirrin, Red and the several others in between. Being able to team with Bofus over these nearly 5 years was great. And, most importantly, it has been an honor to have played with DMHW. Before he dragged me into Pathfinder, I had not played since AD&D. Since then I have been in numerous games, with many of you, and also in several conventions, something I had never before done.

Anyone in interested in making a level 1 core character for a Savage Tide AP? I need a martial character that can post regularly. Given the shady nature of the AP, paladin probably won't work.

The group had problems with the first encounter, so I will probably start again. Attacking a lit boat at night had significant tactical disadvantages.

The build is 25pts.

So wait... we DID win!??!? I was expecting some twist, some gotcha, and wasn't counting my chickens! :)

Thats awesome - good job team! Thanks also to the GM who saw it through, and thanks team for having me along from the Siege of Brindol!

Tonkin - I would be up for it. Let me see who all is playing and what you have. Will probably be a few days to get something put together, so if you need someone tomorrow, I won't be able to finish that fast.

Indeed you did triumph! The module, the Red Hand of Doom, was written so that I could have made opportunities to extend the campaign, such as havng Tiamat escape and ravage a few more towns. But honestly, you killed Tiamat fair and square and it made for a perfect conclusion to a long adventure. I suppose Tiamat herself would be pretty mad that those "meddling kids" ruined her grand schemes, but I don't think I will be planning a sequel anytime soon.

Thanks for being such a great part of it, Shifty. My only regret is that I did not ask you to join us back when I was just starting it. Red was an awesome character and was fun to have with the company. I always appreciate how consistent you've been over the years!

Cheers mate, yeah I'll miss Red - he came to me at the bottom of a bottle of French red wine. Suppose he and Poppy will return to the ether, wandering the lands making poems and having adventures now!

Wow.

This was my first PBP (and incidentally my first halfling!). I had a ton of fun and you guys were all great. This csmpaign will always hold a special place in my heart

Many thanks to DMHW, my Partner in Crime in All Things DND back in college (man, over 20 years ago?!?!). Watching you go from Pathfinder noob to Venture Capt has been a TRIP!! You never do anything half-assed, do ya?

I'd love to tie up all loose ends, I love this char very much and will be saddened to shelve him...

Bofus,

WOW is right! I cannot believe I find myself getting emotional about the closure of a campaign. However, five years of posting and creating great moments has definitely been a huge part of my life. This has definitely been a trip! I hold you personally responsible for converting me to Pathfinder! It didn't hurt that they created a kick ass game! I think they implemented lots of the ideas we came up with back in college. Where did the time go?

Starting up with Pathfinder PBP back in 2011 has definitely opened doors that I did not anticipate. As for becoming a VC, I don't know how that happened. Now I get to play Pathfinder to my heart's content.

So, we are not quite finished yet. Let's definitely tie up the loose ends. There are many characters in the Elsir Vale that we have fleshed out and many threads that may remain open. So please feel free to role play our conclusion out. As with any sandbox setting, please let me know where you go first.

Well, my friends, I think it is time to wrap up our adventure. Please make any last post you wish and I will close down the thread at the end of the week.

Thank you all for your participation and dedication to this great adventure. I do hope to keep in touch with all of you on these messageboards. Feel free to message me any time. As a VC for the Pathfinder Society, I will be on the site with quite a bit of frequency. Thanks again, everyone!

Sincerely Yours,

DM Harpwizard.

Alrighty, sweet, glad I could help you guys get through this finally.

It has been a blast, especially when the bad guys missed their saving throws against my fireballs.

I will never forget Bofus and Tirion sneaking into the main dragonspawn camp, stealing the plans, and then lighting the wyrmlord's tent on fire. And, Thordak hanging from a rope and trying to knock down the bridge while being attacked by a dragon was pretty fun as well.

Thanks for sharing the back half of that campaign - it was loads of fun!

Thanks to DMHW who put on a solid showing and delivered so much fun for us all.

I hope he takes up the offer of jumping in for some PFS scenarios in PBP with me at some point :P

It was great to join in. If you run an arc for PFS credit, count me in. I think you can go level 1-12 with the right campaigns now.
