Right you are.
On an unrelated note, my fluff side is giddy with the fact that you have Death Watch, very thematic.
Meanwhile my munchkin side is languishing in torment :P
and jello and I knows how good of a munchkin thalrik is :)
Torment??? Why? Fraadok was able to tell you that your friend was indeed dead, and was not turned into an undead creature by the Devil, Daemon or Demon that your group has released upon the world. ;)
I would think relieved, as now you don't need to worry about having to kill him again, at least not in the immediate future.
The munchkin thinks of power...which Death Watch is not -.-
Thus, he squirms at the lost opportunities :P
Saw an error in my spell selection while I was linking items today.
Sometimes Herolab is good, other times not so much.
I removed the Recharge Innate Magic spell as it is gnomes only, so I have replaced it with Divine Favor.
alright jellOOOOooooo
Kewl... was wondering what was happening with the game.
Dexter is MIA also (he is my DM in a We be goblin thread i am playing)
Yeah... I am also in that campaign ;p so... When do we look for a other two players?
Like right now. But in the meanwhile we finish that part anyway. Lets keep the game rolling
Well I threw up a request in the recruitment thread for more players but it got buried lol. Any of you guys know anyone? At least one guy would be cool. I'm kinda stalling or a minute with the game until I can get that figured out so I don't blindly have to adjust te story etc as we move forward. Thanks for everyone's patience and please let me know if you find anyone!
well there is a melee bard applying from some one who has over 7k post. so lets get her in and move along :)
Idril checking in!
I'm going to try to read the back catalog of posts, but could someone give me an overview of the story to date?
And how shall I enter? Chasing after the Shoanti for some reason? Tied up to be rescued down there somewhere? Etc.
Everyone arrives in town for different reasons, mostly to participate in the dedication of the new church.
At the dedication, goblins attack, heroes respond and kick green arse.
Tavern owner gives group a set of rooms to use as base.
Arthur gets his freak on, bow-chigga-bow-wow style.
Group responds to disturbance at the cemetary, encounter skeletons. Cleric of the previous churches bones go missing. Necromancers robes found in tomb.
Tavern owner goes missing, clues indicate her brother may be the cause.
Investigate glass works in search, find brother and many goblins. Proceed to kick more greenery and capture brother. Brother tied up and unconcious.
Clues indicate the previous Clerics Aasimar daughter, believed to have died in the church fire, is actually alive and trying to rid herself of her celestial heritage. She seemingly needed her fathers bones to do so.
Group enter tunnels below glassworks, encounter undead monstrocity. Darlin the Cleric gets killed, Shoanti Cleric arrives.
Thats all of it in brief, I think.
Thalrik, that was absolutely beautiful
A few things worth mentioning,
Current sheriff is out of town getting more troops to protect town due to goblin problems. Found out all goblin tribes are gathering at some place called thistle top. Also weird shit about ancient thassilon and seven pointed stars keeps popping up almost like it's important
... To be honest I'm a bit stuck on how we explain away dexter and ferdin (I've run out of dark souls references) so... Lets put it up to suggestion! What do you guys think?
It would be easy enough to just add more critters in the next fight and have both of them die killing them. Or have a trap kill one or both.
Btw, I personally think it would make the most sense if Fraadok and Idril are travel companions and entered as a team. How well they know each other is up to them, but story wise its probably better. Means Idril can come in immediately as well (She was checking the rest of the building or something and is right behind Fraadok)
I would be fine if Idril and I have some common backstory, be it either recent or over a longer period of time. With the Shoanti and Varisians ethnicity making them cousins, it would be very easy to find common enemy in devil worshiping Chelaxian strangers or ancient Thassilonian slave masters.
And so it is. Fraadok and idril met along the road and headed here together for whatever reasons the two of you care to make up. Regardless, you are here together, idril hear sounds of battle as she was looking about the massacre at the glassworks and she now makes her instance into the caverns below. Everyone is all "oh hey girl" as she approaches
How about this?
Idril hits town to be a star in Cyrdak Drokkus show, but is rejected hard because she is too young and inexperienced.
Later she is crying into her ale at the Rusty Dragon "Then I kicked him in the grapes! Now I'll never be a star!"
Ameiko shows up: "You! Stop crying! You drive off customers!"
Ameiko grabs something off the bar and pins it to Idril.
"There! You deputy now! You need experience? You go help deputies down at Glassworks! Now!" She then propels Idril out the door.
With nothing else to be done, she goes to the Glassworks, spots this suspicious looking Shoanti and follows him into the tunnel.
Does this work?
it works to a certain extend.
Ameiko can't deputies you she is "just" a bar owner, and she is still in shock after we just rescued her a few moments ago. He sock was seeing her brother turn evil and torturing+killing their father.
So a sobbing Ameiko can go ask you to join us down here as there re evil thing about.
If Ameiko isn't available, it could be anyone who's running the Inn at the moment.
As for not being able to deputize, well Idril doesn't know that. I postulate that Ameiko (or whoever is there) just grabbed some random object from the bar "here! this is a badge". Anything to hustle the cryer out of there. I should probably put something in perception spoilers; "why does that girl have a bottle opener pinned to her chest?"
that indeed would be funny :)
Hey guys. I have everything written / ready to proceed just been a little busy past couple days to actually sit down and type it out to post. Should have something very soon. Probably after football ;p
Fracking out loud! We're going to have to kill that dice roller before it kills us...
What do ya hear, Starbuck?
Soooooo, apparently when I updated Thalrik to my new character sheet format, I managed to make a booboo and not edit his gear, and I cant find the old sheet.
I've got a good idea of which spells I've used from my scroll, but as for total gold im a bit in the dark. How much you reckon I should repurchase for?
"Fleeing the Cylon tyranny..."
"Nothing but the rain, sir."
Lol. Gotta love battlestar.
So how is everyone settling in so far? I thought maybe those sinspawn had you for a minute but Idril really stepped up! Looking like you have a chance now lol.
Thalrik, what spells remain on the scroll, if you know. If not, what do you think you have used this far?
By my own count I think its:
1x Infernal Healing
1x Enlarge Person
1x Color Spray
2x Obscuring Mist
1x Vanish
Originally it was 4x Infernal and 2x Enlarge and Color.
I also know Thalrik has the tower hermits journal and that we purchased for 500 at the beginning. I just cant remember if we have acquired any more gold.
You have all acquired more gold for sure.... I'm going back through the posts trying to remember if I actually gave it to you guys or if I just wrote it down in my notes haha. You got some gold from the Sheriff after the goblin raids, and you most certainly found a good deal of loot after fighting Tsuto...
Let me do a bit more digging and I'll try to figure it out lol. In the meantime, any chance anyone else's memory is better than mine? (I guess, Arthur, that would mean you ;p)
Alright, I went ahead and just refigured all the party loot. (I also posted this as a link by the current map).
So here's what everything you all have acquired up to this point. There was a whole lot of small sized goblin loot, so I just assumed you would sell it all and gave you gold instead... Also I kind of fudged the loot in the book and just went ahead and gave treasure based on average party level / encounters etc. Also, I assumed since you had been back to town a few times and so on, that you have had the magic items appraised or appraised them yourselves. Except for the magic ranseur you got from the statue. That one I'm just telling you lol. Anyways... Here ya go!
Party Loot
51 pp, 852 gp, 79 sp, 203 cp (approximately 1375 gp total)
8 potions o CLW
6 potions of CMW
6 pouches of gold dust (worth 50 gp a piece)
8 pouches of silver dust (worth 5 gp each)
Silver earrings (25 gp for the pair)
Masterwork Flute
Masterwork Thieves' Tools
Masterwork Chainmail
Masterwork Composite Shortbow (+1 STR rating)
Ring of Protection +1
Amulet of Vicious Mighty Fists
+1 Ranseur
2 Masterwork Studded Leather Armor
2 Masterwork Ranseurs
Quest Items
Tsuto's Journal
Brodert Quink's Journal
*plus, you all have Darlin and Ferdin's equipment to do with as you wish.
Thalrik, let's go ahead and just add a few spells to your big ol' scroll and we will call it good, and from now on I will keep closer tabs on it ;P.
Go ahead and add 2 Enlarge Person, 3 Magic Missile, 1 Obscuring Mist, 1 Vanish, 2 Color Spray, 1 Grease. Meh?
And how much gold will I be in possession of? I know he had 100 in platinum around his neck in a purse under his clothes, an some in an actual money belt.
Well, the above gold is the party's total, so however you guys want to go about it. I would assume just divide by 4 (about 430 gp each) and add to what you all had left over from character creation... I'm not going to make you pay the 50 gp for those spells being added to your scroll, I figured that into the total gold values so everything is all paid for etc.
But if you don't want to share all your hard earned loot with the new comers, I totally understand ;p.
So you guys have two unexplored paths remaining, both back by that statue you pulled the ranseur from. Also there's the option of giving up, going back to town for now. Whatever y'all gotta do.
For the loot, just let me know who wants what etc ill edit the list.
didn't we also pass by a door just before we found the 3 armed goblin?
Ah yes. Yes you did. Three unexplored pathways.
Edit: Also, I updated the party loot sheet. For everyone who doesn't want to scroll to the top of the page, you can find the list HERE. I went ahead and assumed that Thalrik wanted all the books you have collected so far. He has a thing for books...
Speaking of that, I would like to share a post from a little while back for the new folks ;p
Thalrik finished pouring his the glass of wine, lifting it off the table and moving towards the fireplace. There she was, lying on the table next to his highback chair, so sensual, so alluring. Placing the glass on the table next to her, he moved around to stand behind her, running a finger down her spine slowly. Leaning down close, he took a deep breath, savouring her smell, that sweet aroma of leather, a slight hint of dust telling him she was a rare treat, aged to perfection. Picking her up into his hands, he whispered softly. "I cant wait to get inside you"
Sitting in his chair, he placed her in his lap, took a sip from his wine and flipped to the first page.
I'd like to get:
Ring of Protection +1
MW Thieves Tools (for later)
MW Flute (I can learn)
Silver earrings (they're pretty!)
2 potions Cure Light
1 potion Cure Mod
plus, someone should take Ferdin's Deluxe Dungeoneering Kit; If no one else, then I will.
Aaaah Jelly, memories....
works for me.
There is nothing i can use in the loot we got so far. (except the potions)
so i am for selling and then getting cash so that i can guy things i can use :)
I could probably bend, beat, twist and squeeze my way into one of the breastplate armor sets from either of your fallen companions.
And having a couple extra holy symbols never hurts to leave on the chest of an undead or two, even if the holy symbol is not Pharasma.
I already got the wand of CLW when I first joined the group.
1 BreastPlate
3 Holy Symbols of Sarenrae (that leaves two to stay with their bodies)
Yeah I didn't really realize none of you use a longsword lol. You could trade it for a +1 club if you would like.
A club???? Do you not think we can use more advanced weapons than a club.
We are not barbaric peoples one step removed from apes.
We can use man made weapons... Spears, Daggers, Scarves,...
Eyeing Arthur wielding a club...
hmmm... Ah, sure a +1 Club would be great.
Well, Arthur has this thing for hard wood...
well since we have two +1 weapon i would rather trade for a +1 bladed scarf for idril and a +1 longspear for Fraadok.
as i can take care of my own magical weapon need for the moment (altough not today as i am out of spells)
:)
Fair enough. Let it be so! Unless Fraadok would rather a regular spear? Unless he wants the ranseur?
I have a wand of Magic Weapon for those emergency times.
As far as type of spear... any of the three basic types will work for Fraadok (Shortspear, Spear, or Longspear)
He will have all three at some point, as they all have their specific advantages. Longspear would prob be the best for now.
Ok, so when you all get back to town you can go ahead and trade those two weapons. Anything else you can all equip right now. I will go ahead and update the loot sheet, if you could all go ahead and update your character sheets to include all your current equipment, it would make things a lot easier for me in the future.
I'm going to assume you all head back to the room before the zombie cages and check out that door, and will add that to the gameplay thread shortly. Beyond that, you all just need to decide where you want to go.
:)
