Pulling a pair of black sunglasses out of nowhere and putting them on as she does so?
Naturally. :)
So I've decided not to run The Witchfire Trilogy. The conversion to Pathfinder was ultimately more work than I was willing to put in. Instead, I'm going to run Throne of Night, an Underdark Kingmaker campaign where the players will play a dwarven expedition set to reclaim their ancestral homeland or a group of villainous drow siblings exiled from their noble house.
You're all invited to apply!
Oh, yay, Throne of Night! :D
Tomorrow I am taking off for a family vacation to the beach for a week. I don't expect it to impact my checking in, but if things get hectic and you guys are blowing up with 30 posts a day and don't here from me - that's why :)
Have fun!
Sorry, folks. I'm back. It's just been hell at work and getting worse everyday, and then I just had a family member die today, so just not good at all. But I'm trying to catch up on all that's gone on in the thread and try and figure when Thirzin can get back into the action.
which beach did you say?
No worries, man. all I know is we need someone with survival right now. Our method of finding our way so far has been "climb tree". :)
which beach did you say?
Ocean City, MD!
And welcome back! Aptly timed.
see you there this weekend?
nahhh. I already planned to make some hickory smoked beef brisket on Sat.
Sorry for your loss, Thirzin. :( You just keep on keeping on for us, okay?
I definitely am. Life should be getting better soon. On the bright side, when I get home tonight, I'll have all night to post and get caught up. Just gotta sort through all this spoilered stuff and figure out what's going on. :p lol
Party got split up because we failed some perception checks. Noro, Olivius and Aldern are in one group; Ping and Saroune are together; Asuriel and Pavanna are together; and Horatio's on his own. Noro climbed a tree and established that they aren't in he Tickwood anymore, so that group is heading to water since its a landmark. Ping and Saroune found a woman with differently-coloured eyes who offered to help them, but they've now been hit with some kind of strength damage and combat seems imminent. Asuriel freaked the hell out, thinking Pavanna did the whole thing on purpose so she could kill her, fell on her own sword and managed to knock herself out and nearly drown in the process; they've since found an elf (and a bear) who's telling them the area isn't safe, and they've stumbled into one of the places between the material plane and the first world. Horatio found (or, more accurately, was found by) a dryad called Kyna, who's telling him he needs to get out before the 'Green Mother', who hates art and beauty in all its forms, finds him; he's now trying to find one of the other groups (probably going to get himself lost and/or killed in the process).
I think that about sums it up, yeah?
Olivius, Noro, and Aldern are wandering about and definitely not in Kansas anymore, but nothing has really happened to them yet.
Glad to hear that things are getting better. I'm sorry to hear about the family member though. I wish I could do more than offer my sympathies and my prayers.
On another note, I have gotten a new car (with the new car smell even!) I'm still dealing with some of the insurance stuff but I am hoping that is almost cleared up. I'll be getting a nice post up tonight and hopefully get the party back together again soon.
yayy Salsa
Mmmmmmm. New car smell...
Okay, I will try to have a post before the weekend. We're about to have another major project start, so the pace may slow again.
(I hate it as much you guys do but....)
Life. Yep. Life can be a bear.
Holy crap... what just got into me? That's a monster of a post D=
Soooo, is everyone having fun yet?
I am. :) We might want to poke Asuriel though. Should have heard from her by now.
I know I am. Don't know about Spoony, though. :p
And yeah, go summon Asi for us :p
What who's poking me?! I'm here! Back from the beach, sunburned and ready to get my ass kicked by something green. There are soooooo many new posts, I'll catch up now. Post soon!
Sorry for not bringing this up sooner, but I'm away from my computer until Sunday afternoon. Salsa, if you need me to act in the round, feel free to GMPC me.
Roger that.
I've really enjoyed this diversion, especially the splitting the party part. Unfortunately, I don't think I really got to roleplay Saroune's jealousy towards Ping as much as I would have liked. But that's on me, not you, Salsa.
Hmm, well, there'll be plenty of time for that on the trip back, and afterwards.
Jealous towards Ping...interesting...
That's what I thought too. I'm very curious now as to why that is.
Sorcerers just have it so easy is my guess
That's a big part of it. She resents that she had to work so hard for her magic when it just comes naturally to sorcerers.
Sorcery is also relatively common among Varisians, so she felt cheated of the tradition that was supposed to lie in her own blood.
Of course, none of that is Ping's fault, but Saroune is still going to treat her like a rival.
So many conflicts. Let me see if I've got them all...
Olivius doesn't like Horatio because he's so flighty and displays mannerisms that would have gotten him killed at the Asmodean Academy of Military Science, and Horatio finds Olivius horribly dull because he's always so rigid.
Saroune is jealous of Ping (reason unexplained; as Gideon pointed out, possibly because sorcerers have innate magic and it's easy for them).
Asuriel is still kinda freaking out over Pavanna due to tiefling-phobia, and Pavanna is finding Asuriel most irritating because she's arrogant and entitled.
Horatio's funny around Saroune because of something she said.
Horatio is still a bit terrified of Noro due to the face-punch, but she seems to be taking steps to overcome that, and soon he might not be flinching every time she approaches.
Noro seems to be jealous of Asuriel, and now Kyna as well.
Have I missed anyone? Also, what I'm getting from this is that Thirzin likes everyone, and everyone likes Thirzin. That's pretty neat, as Thirzin is awesome.
EDIT: Saroune's reasons for jealousy confirmed above (ninja'd). So, uh, how does Saroune feel about other spontaneous casters? Say... Bards? :p
That or terrified. One does not mess with a dwarf who wields an axe taller than he is. If he has it, he knows how to use it, and is quite creative in finding ways to make longshanks howl.
(Really I just think that Thirzin's not run across someone that will rub him wrong.)
@ Saroune: Ah, I thought it might be something like that. Just wait until she turns on the charm though. :D
I like to imagine Thirzin being the leader. Well, not the leader (that's me obviously, what with the sky-high social skills and being a charming bastard), but definitely the voice of reason. The guy who'll be able to get everybody working together instead of being at each other's throats. :p
Every group needs one. This group more than most, I think.
Bards aren't real casters. ;)
Oh goody, then you should really enjoy what I have planned for the CotCT game you're in Ronnie. >:D
Bards aren't real casters. ;)
DAAAAYYYYYYUM SON! She sure told you!
Oh goodness. I'm in that one too, aren't I. Yes, I am.
(And Ronnie and I are on the same side of the temperament spectrum in that one, for once!)
Bards aren't real casters. ;)DAAAAYYYYYYUM SON! She sure told you!
Oh! Burn! As if Horatio's self esteem wasn't low enough right now!
(I kid, naturally)
Same here. Although I'd play a bard before I play wizard. Less bookkeeping. :D
Quick post. At PFS game.
I to am in throne game. No comment about noro
Oh! Burn! As if Horatio's self esteem wasn't low enough right now!Bards aren't real casters. ;)DAAAAYYYYYYUM SON! She sure told you!
As if I needed more reasons to feel useless >.>
And Gideon, it's going to be fun playing the same side of the law-chaos spectrum for once. :D
Salsa... I'll be honest, it was tempting as hell to make your CotCT campaign the fifth game I'd be playing Spoony in. >.>
Holy discussion spam batman!
I'm having fun Salsa, I enjoyed your hag excursion immensely. I like it when the party splits because it always grants us so much more flexibility in roleplay. Granted, Asuriel is paranoid and well, we all know what happened. But anyway, it has been great keep it up!
I wish I had though to use a hag in my game! :)
All I have to say is, people definitely understand that nobody wants to get on Thirzin's bad side. The gobs and the Green Mother have seen the issues that come about when you get on his bad side.
I hope this prove to you that Noro does not hate you Horatio.
First things first, welcome to second level! Next, I need each of you to pick out an item. It must be 1,000 GP or less. Post it here, Also, there's all of the gear from the goblin raid that you can use to buy stuff when you get back to town.
So, TL;DR:
-Pick out an item that is 1000 GP or less
-Level up!
The faster I know what to get you the faster we can move on!
Woo! At this rate we'll be 20 by 2024. :D
