I've been drawing out the interactions of the festival. If you guys want to move on towards the end, just let me know.
And if any of you are interested, there are some pretty interesting very flavorful contests and games being run in addition to the pretty standard arm wrestling and drinking contests.
Alexei went straight for the dragon racing! I'm going to put some kind of post up about his winning so handily, but the words haven't come yet.
I'm happy either way Nightingale!
I am also good with either. Of course you realize it will take a lot to get Cordwin out of that bookstore! :D
We can do another round of games and Cordwin can finish his conversation before moving on to the ceremony.
Sorry, didn't get to post at all today. Will definitely write some tomorrow! I have the week spending time with my girlfriend, so it's a little bit difficult to take time away to do some "D&D stuff."
Leaving her offscreen would be totally fine. We will wrap up what everybody else is doing and then move on to the cathedral consecration.
I'm getting all the bad rolls out early :)
Bottled beer? O_o
Nice game addition, Paldak! Lol. We should definitely bring some of that on our adventures!
Before we set off we shall certainly make a pit stop at two Knights brewery for some portable liquid courage!
On another note, I'm sorry that I missed posting yesterday, I had a job interview and I had to take both my pets to the vet for their annual checkups. The cat then made a mess of things so he needed a bath. Needless to say, all of this combined with a full day of work and a pregnant wife, as soon as I hit the couch I fell asleep. Sorry for the inconvenience!
No problem! I definitely understand.
I'm am off to a friend's wedding for the weekend, so heads up that I won't be able to post again until Monday.
Alexei, would you be willing to continue your encounter with Kasja while we move on with the events of the festival? I think that everyone else is ready to go, so perhaps we could run them concurrently.
Sure thing. We can spoiler it up so it won't interfere with "present" time.
Sounds good!
Alright some combat! Just an FYI, the map link doesn't seem to be working for me.
Sorry for the delay. I will have something up within a couple hours for sure. Poor doggie! :_(
Not that I want to complain...but I just want to confirm. I had assumed that the Blood Arcana for Rime-Blooded would have required the target to be successfully hit by the spell. I realize now that the wording of the Arcana doesn't explicitly state this however.
Are you then ruling that even if they fail to hit, Alexei's cold descriptor spells will always allow a single target to also save v. slow?
If so, awesome! If you would like to reverse this, I understand just fine.
Since it is ambiguous, what makes must sense flavorfully would be to have it work only on a hit. So how about in the future we just have it work when it hits.
Speaking of rules (I meant to bring this up but I forgot about it), Paldak will be using intimidate quite a bit in the future. You can check out the rules here: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/intimidate
Basically, it plays out almost like an attack roll against an A/C. I roll my intimidate check vs 10 + their hit dice + their wis modifier.
Obviously it's still up to you, but if it my intimidate roll is put against their wis roll, I might end up winning a lot more than I should... And we definitely don't want Paldak getting a big head ;)
FYI...
I will be away visiting family from this Saturday 09/12 to 09/27, so my posting will be inconsistent as internet connection is nearly non-existent and I either have to post on my phone (Ugh!) or mooch off of my Mom's wi-fi when I'm at her house.
Thanks for letting us know!
But the fun of tongues is trying to talk and failing even though you think you're being normal. :-D
You could go super literal and use old Sumerian or some other Mesopotamian ancient culture. Otherwise, Latin could be a good filler. All the tenses it has which are not used could be RP'd as how the Devils use Infernal to doublespeak so many contracts and all the legal trickery.
Coincidentally, I almost suggested it, but I was thinking that might be more Daemonic in style. :P
But yes it looks great. No rebuke from me!
Just to let you guys know, my school year is just starting up, and I seem to have a much larger workload than I anticipated. I think that my posting my be less consistent until I get back into the flow of things.
Greek works great I think!
Sorry for being the bottleneck. Work has been a bear. Will have something later, or you can bot me if you want to press on before then.
@GM: Did Alexei get the last riddle correct?
No problem. My posting has really not been sufficient either recently. Thanks for reminding me about your response to Kasja!
It's okay, this relaxed pace is fine for me. I'm now officially a dad, and I can attest that those sleepless nights aren't just a myth! Thank [insert favorite pathfinder deity - I'm gonna choose Besmara] for red bull!
Congrats Paldak!
I think we are waiting on Nightingale. I think he is getting adjusted to his new school schedule.
Congratulations on the baby, Paldak! I have no plans on being a parent anytime soon, but I do know from my parent friends that having a young kid does take a lot from you.
So, I am getting back into the school year, and after this week I should have more time for posting, because right now I am pretty busy, so please forgive my slow posting for a little bit. Alexei, I still remember that I need to reply for the riddle game ;)
Sorry, guys. I don't think that I will have the opportunity to get a post off today.
Heading off on vacation for the week down south. I expect to be posting again probably on the 19th.
How would you folks feel about changing the posting requirements to once every other day (not counting weekends)? I am feeling like I can't adequately meet the once every day that I have been trying to make but having been falling short of.
I'm cool with that...
Just checking in...
It unfortunately looks to me like the rest of the group has faded away. Still open to starting back up again though if people return.
Nope! The encounter has ended and we are in narrative as opposed to combat now.
I apologize for my complete lack of communication. These last few weeks I have been struggling creatively. I haven't been "hearing" my character's voice. I keep thinking "tomorrow" will be different, and so I talk myself out of posting even a comment in discussion.
I intend to get back into the mix and be regular. Sorry for the delay...
It's all good, Alexei. These past few weeks have been intense in terms of work, so not posting very much has made things easier. I am still hopeful to hear from Paldak at some point...
I'm still here. I'm game for picking the pace back up.
I would love to restart things, but right now, it looks like my life might be too busy to devote as much time as I should to this game. I am nearing the end of the semester and working very hard on college applications, not to mention that the holidays are around the corner. Starting around Christmas, my schedule should clear up completely. Would you guys be willing to wait until then to fully pick things back up again. I really do apologize for this. During the summer when I decided to start this game, I really had no idea how busy I was going to be.
