Game Master Spazmodeus

She is adorable.....

Alikia is all leveled up!

Two questions about some things that I would like that I have a .pdf for, but are not listed on the PRD due to copyright protection:

May I take the 6th level spell, Chains of Light from Champions of Purity?
May I take the feat, Demon Hunter from Inner Sea World Guide?
If not, I will change my feat and my spell selection :)

Overview:

+7 HP New Total: 91
2 spells added to spellbook: Greater Dispel Magic, Chains of light Pending Approval
Gained +1 level 3 spell, Gained +2 level 6 spells
+9 skill points : added to Craft (alchemy), Craft (weapons), Perception, Knowledge Arcana, Knowledge Planes, Appraise, Linguistics, Spellcraft, Use Magic Device

@Alikia - Both spells and feat are good.

Ok, everyone, excepting Quinn, is leveled. I'll have a post out tomorrow wrapping up the Redoubt area and moving on. For Quinn, I am just adding +2 to most things.

Do you want Arueshalae to come with you, or should she oversea the transfer of the bell to Drezen?

-- david

I'll take the Amulet of natural armor +3 if no one wants it. I currently have an amulet +2 I would throw back into party treasure.

I think she can escort the bell back. In game life that would really be important to Drezen.

Since we need to recruit a paladin, I would suggest saving that amulet and giving it to whoever we select. It's a good magic item and would be one less thing for that person to have to buy.

As far as Arueshalae goes, I feel like it'd be better to keep her with us. Or at the very least we need to find out more about her conversion experience. She clearly had an encounter with Desna, but that doesn't mean she's suddenly good. We might've been the ones to find her because she needs help finding that path.

We probably need to go back to Drezen regardless; Aladir definitely needs to get more arrows and I'm sure others would like to go shopping, too. It would also be a good way to write Quinn out of the campaign. We could even have some kind of ritual to transfer the mythic power or something. Then we could leave Quinn there to watch over the city.

I agree, I would like to head back to Drezen to do some crafting at the very least, since Ezro and I both have craft weapons and armor. It would also make a good way to have Quinn bow out with a chance to come back later.

I just got called into my part time job early, so I will have a post out this evening. "assuming" that you are going back to Drezen where Quinn will leave and you will meet your new party member.

I'll be having company for the next week, so bot me as necessary.

Ok, I have changed the ground rules for the new Paladin.

1) Characters due this Friday 27 July
2) Character level 11 / Mythic tier 4
3) Wealth for 11th level character

I'll put a post out later this week to move you back to Drezen, then will introduce the new guy early next week.

-- david

Were getting a lot of bites on that recruitment. DM Papa has his work cut out for him!

I have been looking thru the submissions, and have picked a few that I think would work. What I would like is for youse guys to take a look, if you want to - not a requirement - and if there is one or two that you really think would work, send me a PM and I will take it into consideration. I will still make the final choice, but I would like your guys input if you choose to give it.

-- david

I have followed slightly and have a couple that I was interested in, I will send you an pm.

As I said over in the recruitment thread, three different criteria led to three different lists except for one who was on all three lists Aerianna Flametongue who I invited to join.

I'll get a post out tonight moving the game forward, with Quinn leaving and Aerianna coming in, as soon as she checks in.

-- david

There is no greater pleasure than to come home from work and find yourself chosen -- and apparently not once, but (essentially) three times. I am horribly curious as to what those three different criteria were, though -- but then my RLSO calls me insatiably nosy ...

Welcome to the group, Aerianna! I didn't even get a chance to send my list to DRB, but I'm glad you're the one joining us. You were top of my list from the moment I saw the profile.

Yes! Welcome!

Crunch
Fluff
General, which includes, "coolness", concept, faithfulness to what was asked for. This one is the tie breaker if there Crunch / Fluff are about equal between multiple submissions.

-- david

Killer. Crunch, btw, would have been nowhere near as well done if I didn't have Hero Lab. That thing is SUCH a crutch for me ... but y'know, I paid good money for that crutch, dammit!!! ;)

I do need to point out one thing that I realized may not be kosher -- the 'masterwork cold iron durable angel quill arrowhead arrows'. This essentially combines the durable alchemical arrow capability with the angel quill arrowhead alchemical arrow capability. As a GM myself, I can entirely understand keeping the alchemical DR reduction to be a one-shot deal, requiring re-application to each arrow for 10gp a pop; this is 100% totally okay with me, because this is the same idea behind why she has the +1 evil-outsider-bane arrows on the same base -- so that all that needs to be done is to get the magic re-applied.

(I have reason to do this over in my other game, GM Phntm888's Way of the Wicked, in which I play Hel Blackfist, a zen archer monk who is going to become a master craftsman magic arrow maker -- and where making the 50 durable adamantine arrows takes FAR longer (like, 60 days) than enchanting all of them (3 days). So it seemed a good thing to do, especially if you're travelling in a dangerous land with limited resources.)

One other question -- yea or nay on the Gray Maiden armor of the pious?

And thank you all VERY much for the complements. Like I said, when I realized that Iomedae's Divine Fighting Technique was virtually identical to 'Motivating Display' (better bonuses, potentially shorter time), it opened up a feat -- and I'd already eyeballed the fluff on the maiden's helm, so I was slightly aware of them -- and the artwork for them is just fantastic. My only problem was getting 'Korvosa royal bodyguard/thug' together with 'trained in Absalom Tempering Hall', which of course is where Tala Mateev came in.

Wow, I'm all bubbly and sh!t. Very happy to be here.

Edit: Well, sh!t. Made it into the super-technicals (the +2 HP), halfway screwed it up elsewhere. Just as an FYI, 'Gray Maiden Initiate' is using 'Faceless Maiden (+2 Intimidate in Gray Maiden plate)' and 'Gray Maiden Endurance (+2 hp, can sleep in Gray Maiden plate without becoming fatigued)'. Will clean that up immediately.

@Aerianna - Both are good (arrow / armor). Forgot to ask, what timezone are you in?

@All - Getting ready to cook dinner, so will have a post out later this evening.

-- david

EST, tend to work AFK daytimes (9-5) Tues-Sat. Sundays I spend either with the RL gaming group (Shadowrun) or with the RLSO, Mondays are catch up on sleep / errands / RLSO. I also sometimes do an evening with aforementioned RLSO as well, usually Thursday, but there's usually time for a post between work and heading the 20 miles over there. That said, I can always get online for a couple of hours right around midnight, so at least a post a day is doable.

Now, while I am slowly reading my way through the gameplay thread, I do have one quick question -- how much time has passed between the Storm King's attack and where the game is now?

(Um. On the arrows -- is that a 'yes, the alchemical part will need reapplication' or 'yes, that's cool, don't worry about the reapplication'? But too cool on the armor.)

Note to group: Here is the list of items that Quinn had as party look and not claimed:

+2 adamantine keen dagger, amulet of natural armor +1 x2, boots of elvenkind, +1 breastplate x2, 1 chain shirt, +1 cold iron longspear, +1 cold iron longsword, cloak of resistance +2, +1 longsword, +1 mace, bag of holding type II, bag of holding type III, bag of holding type III (containing a small library of books), cold iron dagger (3), +2 dagger, decanter of endless water, elemental gem (earth), elixir of climbing, +2 fire resistant banded mail, +1 flaming heavy crossbow, +1 full plate, +1 glaive x5, +2 glaive, metamagic rod of maximize, potion of cure moderate wounds (4), potion of cure serious wounds (8), potion of lesser restoration (4), potion of neutralize poison, +1 returning throwing axe, ring of feather fall, ring of protection +1, scrolls of dimension door, dispel magic (3), divination, greater dispel magic, move earth, wand of dimension door (7 charges), wand of fly (10 charges), wand of hold person (10 charges), wand of nondetection (23 charges), wand of silence (8 charges), wand of stoneskin (22 charges), 25000 gp in coins/gems/etc., and one of Terendelev's Scales: Bolstering: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast aid. Against evil outsiders, the bonuses to attack rolls and to saves against fear increase to +2.

Divvy it up or sell it.

@Aerianna - Yes, don't worry about the reapplication.

Dinner done. Salmon, corn-on-the-cob, tomato, leftover potato salad, and we split a bottle of pinot grigio. heh... Normal Friday evening meal, although sometimes we also add asparagus.

-- david

Yummm. Except for the asparagus. (Except for when it's the cat 'Gus in Cats. Though not yumm on that, just .... errr ...)

I am reminded -- do you have a common use-list for languages via Google Translate or something similar? I saw Arabic in use for Elvish; are there any game-standard ones, a list or anything? Just for reference going forward. If it helps, I put together my own list ...

Granted, these already don't match up with what's been used, but what the hell ... ;) And of course there are other suggestions ...

See my DM Papa.DRB alias for a list of languages that I prefer.

Saw Cats twice, once early in the run (February 1983). A bunch of us from a professional school in NYC went. I and one other were lucky, we got seats on the main aisle when the Cats came out into the audience.

-- david

All sorts of good information there, thank you. And only seen Cats once live, well away from actor activity, alas. But fun. Okay, so now that we've established our musical theatre geek bona-fides ... ;)

I saw Cats on Broadway as part of a class trip in 8th grade.

I've never seen Cats. I have seen The Phantom of the Opera and Wicked at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta.

I saw Miss Saigon and Jesus Christ Superstar at the Fox Theater.

... so how many of us are in the Atlanta area? (Lilburn/Snellville / Lawrenceville for me.)

I lived in Doraville from 1995-1997. I used to be a manager at the Krystals in Snellville. I live in NY state now.

I live about thirty minutes southeast of Macon.

Oh hello and welcome to the group! We are definitely not in Atlanta, Alikia and I live in VA.

@Aerianna - I live about 15 miles north of Hyram aka Briccone aka Rich. We were in the same gaming group at my house for many years before it broke up.

@All - How are you going to divvy up the stuff you found at the redoubt and the list 11 posts before this one. Worst case, it all goes into a bag of holding and Hyram carries it.

@Alikia - Consider your crossbow +1. At your guys level it is pretty much an automatically made check.

@All - Unless youse guys to something really strange; I'll move the game forward Tuesday morning on to "The Ivory Sanctum" and your final major encounter of this Chapter.

-- david

Cool to find old gaming buddies still playing with each other online. Wish some of mine had been able to do that.

In regards to the treasure trove, my suggestions would be these:

Re: Alikia's crossbow ... might it be worthwhile to upgrade your bonded item (if it works this way, not sure if you can transfer without losing/destroying the old one) to the +1 flaming heavy crossbow instead? Higher base damage, already +1, also has the flaming (for those non-demons we run into)?

Where is the list of loot by chance?

Here.

@Aerianna: First, welcome to the game!

To address your suggestion: It would cost me gold and time to change arcane bonded objects. Part of the reason why I went into crafting was to be able to improve my arcane bond throughout the campaign and to help improve other weapons when necessary. In addition it would cause me to be without my bonded object for a week, which would leave me vulnerable to having to make spellcraft checks for every spell I cast, in addition to the gold cost of switching objects. I also personally just like my bonded object.

@loot list: I have it in my notes that Alikia took the maximized metamagic rod and the wand of fly with 10 charges. Alikia will also pick up an amulet of Natural armor +1 (I apparently don't have anything in my neck slot) and the headband of vast intelligence +2, and maybe the ring of protection +1 (I also did not have a ring slot).

I currently have a loot list going that I'm working on, so I can have that ready with a formula by Thursday in order to divvy out the remaining loot that no one wants :)

As I'm reading forward from select points (start of the 3rd book now), I'll note that I am seeing what might be some of the loot already having been claimed (starting on this page, with the dragon's hoard). I'm seeing in particular the debated +2 adamantium keen dagger (Alikia) and the boots of elvenkind (Aladir).

Interesting list, I cannot say anything is of use to me on there. These wands and scrolls are all arcane in nature it appears. What I really need, are just a few staples, like a better amulet, a belt and headband, etc.

My pants are falling down and my head is getting cold, I need to fix that. :P

@Ezro: If I take the AofNA+3, you can have my +2 one...

@Hyram: Thanks but it may be better to just liquidize and upgrade many things. I might be able to buy myself a +3 Amulet, but we will see. would be nice to also get a Spell Storing Ring for emergency spells.

I finished with filling out a spread sheet for the loot list! (I also uncovered an item we were missing! Thank you Aerianna for pointing out the dragon's loot, as we would have been missing a few items!)

Feel free to look it over, and post if you want anything else, otherwise I can run the formula to get us all our sweet, sweet reward money!

Loot List!

It does not look like the stuff from the hag room in the redoubt was added to the list:

Potions of cure moderate wounds (2), scroll of greater dispel magic, scroll of blade barrier, scrolls of heal (2), amulet of natural armor +3

It does not look like the stuff from the hag room in the redoubt was added to the list:

Potions of cure moderate wounds (2), scroll of greater dispel magic, scroll of blade barrier, scrolls of heal (2), amulet of natural armor +3

Okie dokie! I fixed that :D

I will happily take those hag scrolls.

I would like the AofNA+3. I also have Horgus' +1 Longsword on my sheet that we should giveback to Horgus if no one wants it. I also have +1 Banded Mail & +1 Breastplate I can throw back into party treasure.

We can sell that shadow leather armor I had before, now that I've got the celestial armor. As high as his UMD check is, he could probably make the roll for any wand that y'all feel like would be good on him, too.

The interaction between Aerianna and Hyram is hilarious, by the way! DRB, would there be any reply from Arueshalae to what Aladir last said to her? Kinda waiting on that before I post again.
