Checking in.
Will let the RP continue for a few days till at least Wednesday in the 'Three Limbs Gone' tavern, and for Alikia and Ezro about the Forge of Corruption.
@Alikia & @Ezro - Aravashnial will gladly help with the Forge. .
@Aerianna - No problem coming up with the tavern or things like that. The town surrounding Citadel Drezen was not detailed, so have at it.
Note: Tuesday, Nana (aka wife, aka Carol) and I will be at Tanglewood on Parade all day, with barely phone only internet access, so no posting from me then.

Apologies for the length of time it took to complete the loot sheet; Every time I finally got to sit down and work on it, the baby would decide that it was a perfect opportunity to sing me the song of her people.
The individual shares come out to 26279 gp 5 sp 9 cp for the four original members. I have set the sheet up so that way it can be easily adjusted for our 5 member team in the future :)
Thank you all for your patience and thank you for everyone's suggestions as to what to keep and sell. It was extremely useful.
I recommend continuing with the reversion of the corruption forge!! Go until you get it done -- after all, Aeri is going to need a day or two to get used to the balance of the sword she's been given. And to get to know the tactics used by y'all. ;)
Whew. That's quite the pile of gold, right there. Geez. And yes, I agree about fixing the corruption forge. We ought to get that done before we head off to do anything else, even if it takes a little while longer. Leaves more time for shopping!
We have tactics? We always just threw Quinn and Hyram at the problem until it got burned away with holy righteousness...
Yay shopping time!

Was looking at Aerianna's capabilities, realized that since I have 'Aura of Justice', I really don't need 'Clarion Call' if I have 'Mythic Smite', which will let me use mythic power to regenerate smitings. If it's okay, I'd therefore like to switch 'Clarion Call' out for 'Mythic Smite'.
Also, posting!! And postings!! Play!! ;>
Sure...

Ezro is completly upgraded now. I also found a few incorrect numbers that were rectified and or standardized between header profile, and character sheet:
1. Mythic Surges was incorrect at 9, this has been upped to 11.
2. Initiative was not calculated with Amazing initiative Mythic ability: +2 -> +8
3. Saveing throw numbers brought in line between both Profiles.
4. Hitpoints brought in line between both profiles
5. Items equipped and gold updated.
6. CMD corrected from 18 -> 22.
Q: are we doing any of the 'rebuilding Drezen' stuff?
I believe that DM Papa was doing that off screen as it would take up a lot of time in a Play by Post.
Fair deal, and true enough!!
Apologies, but Monday & Tuesday were terrible days at work, and the dang site has been down the rest of the week every time I tried to get on.
Every ones spending is ok.
Yes, rebuilding Drezen is being taken care of off screen. As Ezro mentions, that would take forever in PbP so just consider it being done, especially as everyone more or less "befriended" Horgus who is the main driver behind it.
Note: David sometimes has a hard time knowing when to move the game forward when there is this much role playing, so I will continue to watch thru the weekend and move the game forward to the Ivory Sanctum on Monday if nothing dramatically occurs.
-- david
*sigh* And it died the first time I tried to post this, but at least it came back in only a few minutes.....
Thank the Lord! The site is up, finally!
Looks like the site is back, hopefully for good. We have had the grand daughter all week; she is six. With a campfire tonight, Tanglewood tomorrow night, church and traveling on Sunday, work Monday, I may not be able to get a post out till Tuesday 08/28. Will try tomorrow during the day, but no guarantee at this point.
-- david
edit: Aw, you beat me by 45 seconds...
I did not realize how often I checked this site until I was unable to do so for 3-ish days!
@David, did you want me to just make the spellcraft rolls here in order to get the story moving on?
@Alikia - Yes please, make a couple. You only need a 13 (if I remember correctly) as Ezro will cast the hallow spell and Aravashnial will assist (he automatically makes a DC 10 roll).
-- david
I will indeed be casting! Also I will probably get a post up this weekend...I am just to tired right now to get to it. I am sure Alikia will bug me on Sunday. ;)
Yay, back again.
Well, back (again). If the site stays up I will have a post up today or tomorrow. Once again, real life (and the dang site) is interfering with my gaming....
-- david
note: I will also post what happens to the Forge as Alikia / Ezro / Aravashnial have succeeded in "redeeming" it.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ok, looking up the change from "corruption forge" to "purity forge", I found that I had overlooked a small detail. Even though Alikia failed the first time, that failure makes the DC 1 less, so the Spellcraft check of 35 (2nd day) works, and the forge is "redeemed".
Once the forge is redeemed, it can be used to rework evil magic items into good magic items. An unholy weapon can be made into a holy weapon, for example, or a wand of unholy blight can be transformed into a wand of holy smite. However, some evil magic items don’t have an obvious good analogue. In such cases, I will pick an appropriate opposition item for the magic item to be redeemed into.
To redeem a magic item, the redeemer must work as if she/he were crafting the item from scratch, yet the forge supplies much of the magic and energy for the process. Ignore any spell or cost requirements for crafting the redeemed item, and the time required to complete the task is 1/4 the time it would normally take to craft the final item from scratch. At the end of the redemption process, the redeemer must succeed at a Spellcraft or Knowledge (religion) check (DC = 5 + the item’s caster level) to redeem the item—if the redeemer fails this check, the item is not redeemed; this can be attempted again, starting the process anew.
Between site problems, no wifi over Labor Day weekend, and me feeling horrible because of the heat, I apologize for not being around much. Now that it is mostly over I will get back to a more normal posting schedule, starting tomorrow.
It's understandable! The site problems have been a HUGE issue for us. I look forward to our regularly scheduled demon murdering spree.
*laughs* Definitely not a problem.
Ezro and I will be out of town this weekend for a baby shower. We will be at the family farm, which has limited wifi and access.
FYI we are in Richmond VA. as such will be right in the path of Hurricane Florence. It is very probable we will lose power for an indeterminate amount of time from Thursday night onwards.
Been there, done that, left Florida. :P :) Be safe, you two.
@Ezro & Alikia: Hope you do not lose power or any other services, but in any case, be safe and take good care of the baby and each other.
-- david
I'm hoping that we will not lose power either! Luckily we have some family that lives near us, so we may leech off their power/grill.
Aladir, Alikia ?
Alikia is planning on posting, shes just had a heck of a time with the baby recently ;)
@Ezro - Even though my kids are in their 40's now, I remember those days. Tell her to take care of the baby first, gaming can wait.
-- david
@David: Apologies, most of the mundane hurricane prep work fell to me to gather, along with taking care of player three. It is hard to believe that she's already 9 weeks old!
Is anyone else excited about the archives of nethys announcement? At least the PRD will now get to have bestiary 5 AND 6 available! Paizo Blog announcement
Alikia, Erzo, hoping the three of you are safe, sound, and dry -- self and home both. While I /have/ been through hurricanes and tropical storms, the amount of flooding VA, NC, and SC have gotten is waaaay beyond my experience. :/ Stay safe, you three.
@Aeri: Thanks! Despite Mother Nature's attempt to cause me to face my one fear; we survived 8 tornados forming in our area! Our cats were a bit peeved about being shoved in a closet, but we managed :D
Apologies for being away a bit lately. Campground wifi has been extremely lousy, also end of season camper cleanup chores (October 8 is last day), and also I have spent entirely too much time with the new Pathfinder: Kingmaker CRPG since it came out.
Will have a post up shortly.

I haven't applied the Anarchic Gift from Arueshalae yet because I kinda wanted to see what you guys thought about the +2 ability bonus. Normally I'd have tossed it into Dex but I think I'm approaching what I would consider the limit of useful dexterity; the Celestial Armor that Aladir presently wears has a max dex of +8; at next level I can put my ability point into Dex and will have met that, effectively maxing it out unless I stop using armor altogether and only use cloaks, robes, amulets, etc. that give me other types of bonuses to my AC.
All that to ask...do you guys think I'd be better off putting that Anarchic Gift into a different ability score? Or does anyone have a suggestion for how I can keep boosting Dex after I've hit that limit?
Question I'd have is 'how long does it last?' I don't expect it's super long-term. Still, let's look at your options.
Strength: doesn't enhance your attack bonus, only boosts your HTH damage; doesn't really boost your primary skills. Hard no on that one, IMO.
Con: Does boost your HP, but only by 11; gives you a +1 to your Fortitude save which, granted, is weak. Otherwise, though, no other bonuses. Possible, but ...
Dex: Well, it still gets you a +1 bonus you didn't have, boosting your ranged attack, which you didn't have before. The 'max' is only about how much adds to your AC; it doesn't prevent the bonus being used for everything else. So it limits the AC adder, but that's it, which means you still get it for your Reflex save, skills, attack rolls, etc.
Unless you really want that 11 HP and +1 Fort save, I'd still say Dex.
Regarding increasing the armor bonus, from what I can find out the only option is if the GM allows the 'Nimble' armor modification from Adventurer's Armory 2 to be discovered on that fine armor of yours, which would increase the Max Dex by 2, reduce the armor check penalty by 1, but which would lower the armor bonus by 1 (for a net result of +1 WHEN you hit a 30+ Dex), all at the cost of 1000gp. It's an armor design modification, so you might have to 'discover' a few straps that are loose that have to be tightened, or an area or two that can be let out that haven't been, thus using the 'it always had that mod, you just didn't know about it' explanation.
---------------------------------------
Question for the GM, though; can we upgrade 'standard' items to enhanced versions? For example, my knight inheritor's ring has only a +1 AC bonus; can I improve that? Or enhance / improve / combine magic enhancements, such as from different armors (e.g. essentially combining her current armor of the pious with the maiden's panoply, or a maiden's aegis with a bastion of the inheritor -- by preference increasing both their magical bonuses (which is at +3 for the armor, +2 for the shields) by a few points.
NP DM Papa! That game looks entirely too addicting! Alikia and I played it in real life when it released about 6-7 years ago, and the CRPG looks almost word for word the same game I can't wait to pick it up for us.

It is addicting!!!
Not quite word for word with the AP, but close. It adds some areas, changes things a bit (for instance, Boken gives the moon radish quest, not Svetlana), however the feel of it is very good.
I DM'd it thru the end of Chapter 3 (2?), when I had a group at my home, but it ended in an almost TPK and we went on to a different AP. Ask Hyram about his bear shaman druid and his death......

It lasts till she drops it. You do not even have to be on the same plane.
Yes, you can upgrade, if you have the feats, time and cash.

Aladir, Alikia. Minotaur battle?
I'm glad to hear that it plays well! I am regretting not backing it on kickstarter, but I've seen too many people burned by bad video game kickstarters.
Seen gameplay of it, have a friend playing it. Unfortunately, my laptop is t3h crap, so stuff like that is a bit too much for it. I do want to play it, though. (Just wish there were more options for some of the classes, though. Where's my Zen Archer Monk?!? ;) )
But entirely understandable. As are all the other reasons. :) As I constantly say: RL comes first.
And if there's a PER roll needed or anything, just say!!
Sorry for the lack of posting the last couple of days. I'm assuming that we're on the "safe" side of the portcullis, right? Unless they open the gate, they can't get to us and we can't get to them? That's why I posted an action looking for a lever. If my understanding is wrong I'll ret-con.

Ours ended with my mentally, and emotionally scared Cavalier in the room with the final boss and our wizard just slav squating next to her casting his null magic sphere as I pounded her with my non-magical, magical Numarian weapon. It was entirely anti-climactic.
Anti-climactic is just another term for 'well-planned'. ;)

Didn't he become part of some cannibalistic menu?
