Any reason why we don't just finish up the exploration of this site and have the new players join when ready?

We can take control of the playerles PC's until we get to a fitting point for them to say goodbye and join up with new team members.


Hi everyone. I was told to drop in and express my interest in joining your intrepid band. I can work on a character and join in when everyone feels its appropriate. Any thoughts on what you'd like to see?

Hi mark! Great to have you. Looking forward to gaming with you again.

Some kind of melee martial character would be good, I should think.


We're down a fighter, so that would be an obvious choice for a replacement character. Although an oathbound paladin with Oath Against the Undead would be kind of cool too.

With Pherenike gone and her blessed weapon laying unclaimed in the sand, I'm not sure you can defeat the Div. Even with Mus'ad. I was thinking of having the two new players join the fight immediately... say by being members of another one of the other teams just passing by and seeing/talking to Pherenike as she is leaving.

But if you wish to press on without the new players we can and they can join later when they have their characters ready... if you survive that is. Mwahahahahahaha! ;)

Welcome Mark!

The party has lost/is missing their tracker, trap finder/bypasser and a good portion of their melee muscle. And remember there are two new players, so you don't have to cover everything yourself. :)

Maybe Balani just switches games as is and you take Ansha suggestion and play the paladin? :)


I do like the idea of a paladin; this seems to be an AP that doesn't run a lot of risk of moral dilemmas for one. :)

I also have a thought for a ranger that would lend some melee strength as well as trapfinding. Let's see what Balani's player would like to do. Do we know yet if she'll be joining us?


Stacy has indicated to me that she will be joining. I will prod her to post here asap.


Sounds good. When we see what her preference is, I can fill in the remaining gap(s). :)


Hi everyone. I look forward to joining you. I don't think I will import my Balani character directly, but I wouldn't mind trying the ranger/rogue again so if that fits, and pending coordination with markofbane, I will create a character and present her later today hopefully.


And I'll get to work on my paladin. :)

Edit: What wealth point should we be working to?

Pleased to meet you, Aphin.

A ranger/rogue sounds just fine for what the group needs.

At present, the remaining PCs are:
- Professor Aristedes: Dirge bard
- Elrisiel: Aasimar diviner
- Kheled: Oracle (life)
- Myron, halfling Lore warden

Myron is going to switch to knife master rogue next level and pursue that path, focusing on skills and combat support through flanking and Butterflys Sting.

Here is my contribution to the party. I too need to know the wealth I should start with as thieves tools aren't free and disabling a trap with a crowbar uses a little less finesse than I would like :)

Rakara is a native of Wati so also should have a little local knowledge.


As to the question of wealth, I would say that each of you should start with whatever the average party wealth is at the moment. Whatever that is. :P

To that end, who was/is handling treasure keeping?

From our last (and only) treasure sale:

Myron Drumbarrel wrote:

Looks like we're skipping the party funds/healing for now. I guess the strain/injury rules do remove most of the need. People can stock up on an extra emergency potion or two individually.

A quick calculation of the sales worth of everything except the consumables plus the coins comes to 10.085 gp and 42sp.

Divided by six that's 1680 gp and change for each party member.


Thank you Jacob! :)

There you have it. You two can spend max starting wealth by class plus 1680gp on gear.


Here's Dumah, markofbane's paladin. Let me know if anyone sees any errors. If his character sheet looks good, he's ready to go!


hp 61/61, AC 22/15/17, F +13 R +12 W +11 Init: +4, Perception: +0

*Random paladin of Sarenrae wanders in*

"Dumah, eh? Knew a fellow by that name once. Decent chap, but not much of a warrior. More of the bookish type, really. And not quite so green and toothy. But as good a teammate as you could ever wish for. And you can't go wrong with a paladin on the team. I say you should consider keeping this one around."


What can I say? I'm not a fan of alias bloat. :) And Dumah seemed like a good sturdy half-orc name...


| HP 36 | AC:18 | FF: 14 | T:14 | CMB +6 | CMD 20 | Fort:+6 | Ref:+9 | Will:+4 | Init:4 | Per +9/+11 | Ranger(Trapfinder)

That is cool. We can run with the fact that we are both half orcs and use it as why we were part of the same group, maybe it was all half orcs.


Both characters look good at first glance. I've got a couple of busy work days ahead but will do my best to get things going asap.


Sorry for the lengthy delay everyone. Super busy with work at the moment, working 11+ hour days to try and get projects wrapped up before the weather turns cold here. Will try and get things back up and going within the next 48 hours. Thanks for your patience.


Dumah and Rakara:

Sorry I don't have more time atm to play/flesh this out properly, but I would like to get the game going again asap.

The quick and dirty background for you two is that you were just recruited yesterday to a team, the "Sand Scorpions", lead by a woman called "Black Kiss". They had run into trouble on their first foray into the Necropolis. They had been assigned a perfumery and incense shop. Before they had explored much of the site, however, they found themselves caught up in what seemed to be a turf war between rival gangs of ghouls. The Scorpions were able to retreat, but not before two of their members were paralyzed by the ghouls.

You two were their replacements, and you set out this morning to complete that assignment. It did not go any better this time out and the rest of the original Scorpions are either dead or missing. The two of you were able to escape and while heading out of the Necropolis, you come upon a Taldan woman leaving a walled estate in a hurry and in some distress. Assuming she was on one of the other teams, you hailed her. After a brief conversation, you understand that her team is within the estate and battling a horde of flying heads. Pherenike has been bitten and has left her team to seek immediate medical attention. As she talks a clump of hair falls out of her head and she wishes you good luck and hurriedly leaves.

As she begins to walk off she turns and mentions that she left a weapon on the first floor, in an inner courtyard, that has been covered in blessed oil. It should prove very effective against the foe the team is facing. She then turns again and departs.

If you have any questions, fire away.

Rules question: Can Myron wield the flail? My interpertation of the text below says no, but I'm not that familiar with using oversized weapons.

Pathfinder rules wrote:
The measure of how much effort it takes to use a weapon (whether the weapon is designated as a light, one-handed, or two-handed weapon for a particular wielder) is altered by one step for each size category of difference between the wielder's size and the size of the creature for which the weapon was designed. For example, a Small creature would wield a Medium one-handed weapon as a two-handed weapon. If a weapon's designation would be changed to something other than light, one-handed, or two-handed by this alteration, the creature can't wield the weapon at all.


It would seem the answer is indeed no.


I just need one or two of the others to go first to see if there is room for me to engage.


Kheled will presumably channel, Elrisiel will remain upon the stairs and Ahkenaten will... Likely inspire courage again... if he has any rounds left. I think it is safe to assume you will have room to engage.


Dumah, looking at your damage calculation for your smite attack, what is the +2 for?

It seems to me that you didn't include the bless or IC, so ignoring those, I have for you: 2d4+6(str+2handed)+3(powerattack)+4(smite)

In my game post I added in bless and IC for a +2 to hit and +1 to damage. Myron's aid another gave you another +2 hit. Flanking was available for anther +2 but was not utilized (or needed in the end).

I am so glad that fight is finally over! :)


The +2 is an error. I originally was adding +2 for the smite bonus damage and I posted it. Then I realized it should have been +4 since it was an evil outsider. I went in to edit the roll, but I mistakenly added it to the +2 instead of replacing it. I'm sorry about that. I didn't catch the Bless and didn't include that in my numbers.


Oh no worries. No need to apologize, stuff happens. I was just checking to see if I was missing something. :)

If you look at my 2nd to last Mus'ad attack I forgot to give him his base +4 to hit in his formula. lol


Sorry for the radio silence. Family has been hit hard by the flu and I am it's latest victim. Will post up a summary when I can shake it.


Just to be clear, Dumah doesn't know what's going on with the spirits. But if anyone has a plan that includes him, he is absolutely willing to follow directions from the others to help resolve the spirits issue.

Merry Xmas all, may peace be with you all...and I expect you to have all seen Star Wars by now! :)


Merry Christmas! ...and not yet.


Merry Christmas! And, maddeningly, no. My family has been trying to coordinate going together, and it simply hasn't worked out. Now my wife and I are just going to go.


Hope everyone had a good holiday break! I am back and ready to play! Post will be up tomorrow!

I should ask, who is the leader of this group? or if no designated leader, who usually makes the decisions? Rakara is definitely not the type to take a leadership role.

That's part of the quandary we're in. Theoretically, Professor Aristedes is the leader-ish type, but AK has been hard to find between bouts of overwork, and so oKOyA had him temporarily exit in an earlier IC post.

Reading every post and simply waiting for a re-intro from Okoya.


There seems to be a communication break down as I have been waiting on you. :P

I am happy to have you return to the game. Please post the Professor's return whenever you wish. :)

(It has been about an hour since the Professor split with the party.)

That's right, folks. Bards freakin' ROCK! (and polka too, on request)


Well you certainly have your work cut out for you. :P


Sorry all. Super swamped with work atm. Will get post up tomorrow.


My apologies to all for my slow posting rate. I recently merged my business with another and I and my new partner are still working out the kinks getting things up and running smoothly.

I am quite hopeful we can finish up this chapter of the AP and move into the second book soon!

Cheers!

I will be in the UK on holiday for the next 10 days. I will have internet and am planning to check in but just in case I disappear for a day or so you know why. Thx.

Alex, if you live in the Manchester area (or north of there) let me know, maybe we can grab a pint sometime!
Otherwise may be tough since my time will be spent in the north of England.
