DM Talomyr's Kingmaker

Game Master Talomyr

Hi everyone! DM Talomyr Gave me the cue to make my introductions. New player waiting in the wings to bring some martial power to the table in light of your recent exits. I’m currently in multiple games with Celebeth and have been in a couple with Terri in the past, and look forward to helping build a nation with you all.

Welcome to the party Rhiannon!

Welcome!

Thanks!!!

Welcome to the Stolen Lands!

Thank you! Just completed a read through of the gameplay thread

Alright, now that we are mostly together and the business of Bassius's demise is behind us, what would you like to do?

Explore more of the area? If so, where?

Pick at some of the threads from around town, or see if there is more?

Something completely unexpected?

I think, given that we just uncovered a cult right in town, it makes sense for us to see if there are any other threats to our fledgling settlement. I'll make a post IC!

I would say finish picking at the threads around town and then Garathane will be more than ready to dive back into the wilds.

I agree, a town meeting and then tying up any loose ends that that unearths around the settlement before heading south back into the unknown.

Ditto^

So....right after Kalamar makes a proclamation about unauthorized use of magic...Azen starts using magic?

heh

I'm totally authorized. :)

lol

Waiting on anything the new Ruler would like to say to her subjects before reacting to anything else.

I'm so sorry! I haven't been able to get in to my account for the past week! >.<

Apparently one of the servers associated with people's log in data went down? But thanks to our glorious webmasters I'm back at last so I'll have a post up as soon as I can.

Just as soon as I figure out how to tell these people their baron is dead...

Hello all! I’m just catching up on stuff.I know my absence was longer than intended, but I’m in a better place and I think I’m ready to get back to a few of my games.

Hi Terri! Good to see you again!

Thanks! I had heard that Terri’d been through the wringer, but not gutted by a troll. That’s gonna leave a mark.

It certainly will, but good to have you back!

For our Bard, Magus and Eldritch Scoundrel, you may want to look into this spell for the future.

spell in action

That spell might be worth it for silver, but since it destroys your coins, seems like a really bad investment for anything else. :)

Yeah for silver it's definitely economical if you don't have silver arrows, although being able to beat Adamantine DR in a pinch is nothing to sneeze at. 3d10+(1-10)/ignoring DR with a 1st level spell is pretty decent, even for the cost.

Besides how baller wizard is it to kill someone with the equivalent of a $1000 dollar bill?

If you had an over-generous DM perhaps, but I would be worried that, however cool the image, sacrificing that much money would hurt your character down the road.

Might be a good one for the rich-noble's-kid background though. Nothing like role-playing that you don't care about money by destroying it.

It could be interesting to create a whole campaign around the characters finding a vein of platinum. They start at level one, but they could be immensely rich quickly. ...The game seems designed to solve most things with money, so it would be challenging to design situations and challenges that couldn't be overcome just through the newest/best gear.

I like the flavor of the spell, but I think Azen is right. It destroying the coins makes it pretty bad for anything but in a pinch. That said I can think of some cases where it would be useful.

Computer is out of the shop. I should be posting more like I normally do. I love having a physical keyboard again. :)

Congrats!

BTW do we have any vacancies in our kingdom roster, or do we anticipate any NPCs leaving (such as Oleg)? I have some Recruits slots and can recruit NPCs to fill jobs if needed.

According to the spreadsheet, you currently have Spymaster (soon to be/recently vacated by Ivo) open.

You have offered the Enforcer position to Rhiannon if I am not mistaken.

Indeed, Oleg's run as Treasurer will be temporary as he would like to get back to his trading post (and his wife).

Perfect, I can make a character who can be a good Treasurer, and potentially a Spymaster if Celebeth doesn't take that role (I forgot what role she was going to take!) I'll just check the spreadsheet...

Wow, that's a cool feat. interesting variant leadership.

It's usually terrible because having minions four levels below you just means they get killed, but since they can explicitly run downtime stuff it rocks for KM.

Yeah and for things like that it doesn't matter what level the Treasurer is, just that they exist and have a good primary stat for the job.

On a side note, not that I plan on using it anytime soon but I like that issuing a manhunt is one of my role abilities. "The Royal Enforcer may grant civilians the authority to kill in the name of the law."

Yeah and for things like that it doesn't matter what level the Treasurer is, just that they exist and have a good primary stat for the job.

Yup, since they tend to use the NPC array they usually have a +2 or +3 in the relevant stat, which is way better than just having an empty role.

Talking about the squire feat? I've made a character with that once. I wasn't in the game all that long though.

I should probably look over what I can do as the Diplomat, or whatever it is that I am. (I forgot and a bit too lazy to go looking for it now.) :P

No, the Recruits feat.

Oh, okay. I’ll have to look at it some time.

@Terri, I don't see you on the current spreadsheet. Celebeth is the Grand Diplomat, and I'm the Councilor.

Oh. In that case I’ll have to see what role I can fill.

Yep, there will have to be some reassessment, Terri, as you had dropped the game at one point.

Sorry all, I've been dealing with some personal stuffs this last week and half, should be back up for now,

Do we have a spymaster?

Says vacant on the sheet.

I can fill that or make a Recruit to fill it. (I currently have two Recruits and I gain another one at every even-numbered level.)

I think Terri was asking because she was looking to become the spymaster.

That would be cool too!

EDIT TO ADD: Actually that would be cooler because it's always better when PCs get to have fun doing cool things that they enjoy.

Besides, who better to be a Spymaster than a tricksy bard? If no one wants it, I'd be happy to fill the role.

Sorry folks, life has been stupid busy the last week or so. I'll have a map up for you tomorrow.

Rhiannon - PM me an email address to send a Roll20 invite to. Terri, please do the same.

Ok, real talk. Based on how lycanthropy works in PF, we have 3 days to find a 12th-level cleric to cast remove curse on those of us who failed our saving throws. Barring that, we turn into werewolves and our alignment inevitably shifts to Chaotic Evil.

Just FYI, if Celebeth succumbs to the curse, which seems likely, she will commit suicide with one of her mithral weapons.

This is not a problem, b/c making new characters is easy, just noting that barring some kind of miracle, this is a character-ender.

Yikes. ... Could the fey help us? The cost might be high, but maybe some kind of treaty in return for their help? I'm guessing returning to civilization will take too long.

... Isn't there a cure with wolfsbane or something as well? Or is it magic or nothing?
