Good luck Chingo
Definitely, good luck! We'll see you when you are through.
Yep, see you when you get back.
Go well with exams. See ya when you are done.
Thanks uys. I got a C in Geography which I'm more than satisfied with. Still got one to go, but I have some days before I need to start preparing for that one.
And merry christmas of course. Hope you all had or are going to have a nice evening.
Kind regards
Chingo
C in Geography... So it means the party not going to get lost by Chingo's map reading skills. :p
Can't think of any good map puns at the moment.
I do however wish you all a belated New years. Enjoy your hangover day.
Happy New Year guys!
Sorry for lack of communication. I've both spend time with my family for christmas and new year, and I have been real busy working on a new system which I call Tempest. Here's a sneak peek. I also have a Chemistry examn the 12th, and haven't begun preparing for it yet.
Hope you are all doing well and have enjoyed your christmas and New Year.
Kind regards,
Chingo
Good luck with Chemistry exam. Must say the system is rather different, yet has interesting elements.
Hows life everyone?
All good though crazy. Still watching these threads daily, though weekends are hectic at the moment to post.
Think the chemistry of making interesting bombs is taking it's toll on Chingo.
My new year is starting off terribly in life and in pbps. Not to be that person but when abouts are we tentatively expected to pick up again? I'm asking because I forget, not out of impatience.
Hi everyone. Sorry for absence.
Got an E on my Chemistry. Don't look at me like that. At least I passed.
Just started school again. German and biology.
Haven't forgotten about you guys.
What do you all want to do?
I quite like this campaign personally, so it would be grand if we could continue.
Same, it would be nice to keep going. There is a lot of places, which could be interesting to visit
I am still around. :)
March on into the unknown, well that is for Arukara who hardly left her village.
Of course I am still here. What do you want to see happen Chingo?
I'm not sure. I'm pretty busy but this has been the most successful campaign that I've run so far, and I like you all as players and the story so far, so I would like to continue as well.
Since it seems there is a consensus to continue, I say we start up again here in february.
I don't mind the pace of posting slowing down to accommodate real life activities. Studying does take it's toll regardless of level of education.

Yay! Its February. Any new updates?
Are we suppose to be vulture circling above, or wolves circling in for the kill.
Dolphins at play?
only if we are time vultures
And I'm going to be quite disappointed if I have to retire Magnes so I'm going to say we are the first of many dwarves rattling around in the GM's house.
Lets see. Current battle is paused for a tea and cake break, where both sides enjoy a drink and something to eat, while discussing other topics not relate to the battle, such as how the family is doing, what they up and the like.
I'm here. Are you all ready to begin again?
Yep. Welcome back Chingo.
ditto
Hrmm.. If we are just jumping back in I realize that I seem to have never made a Round 4 post for the combat.
I'll go ahead and rectify that now.
As we are jumping back into things it might also be useful to ahve a recap for all the players to use.
The company of the ally cat joined Rhialla on a mission to discover what had happened to an old friend of hers that represented the same church.
At the same time Kevroth had a prophetic dream about a village on the other side of the country burning with a blue dragon flying overhead.
We decided to commit to helping Rhialla first and investigating the vision after that.
We met a bunch of people that helped us on our journy through the forests seeking the temple Rhialla's friend had last been seen.
Ornthalas the ghost was tapped as our guide through the forest who helped us avoid most of the danger. Though a Bherug did its level best to eat us all it couldn't find us in a good enough moment of weakness to drag a member of our part off into the dark.
Our mission changed when we met up with the collected armies of Waedfolk at the village of Torukaro.
The Ghostbear tribe was repelling the Bherug tribe after a raid. The chieftain of the ghost bear tribe informed us of the Bherug tribes plans and the aid of an ally Mister Stross*.
There we also met Arukara and Hawkren Hargaves a Koruku druid and a blue dragon order mage. They along with Hawkrens compatriot mage.
after gaining our bearings and getting a basic understanding of what was at stake were the ritual in Ang Varshon to activate we all departed.
We got in there, defeated some bad guys and sadly alerted the black armored man (Mister Stross) and Alskar Hearteater the chieftain of the Bherug tribe. They set up an ambush with the allies Rhialla had came for as hostages and tried to stall for time.
We didn't exactly stand for that but managed to shoot those holding our allies faster than they could stab them, getting them free and starting a rip roaring battle.
As of now Mister stross is retreating up a set of stairs under cover of magic darkness. Enough shamans have been defeated or distracted to interrupt the ritual and Hearteater is attempting to murder us all.
We have a party have taken some fairly heft blows ourselves as everyone is blowing through their best tricks to pull a victory.
*while not yet substantiated the Broken Skull tribe bugbear we interrogated earlier implied the aid of their masters in what was occurring in the forest. What was said a Champion associated with the Eldreth Malecai (Evil outsiders/demons) was there. Nightmares count in this manner. Additionally that implies the nation of Vorlask and its Draconic overlord is involved in all this.
Very good summation of recent events, Magnes. Thank you!
Nice Movin. Thanks. Very helpful. Have been busy this weekend. I will post an update tomorrow.
So tea time is over. Back to battling...

So... I'm just checking in... I need something to do.
I just want to know how y'all are doing.
*smiles* yeah... I'm bored and now I'm bothering you... Sorry
Now don't get me wrong! I'm just looking for a champaign where I can use a gnoll alchemist or oracle... And there are basically no good ones for me to join! That, or they have like 400 posts and 40 people applying!
So, I'm just checking in.
How about coming back as Sabrik?
Gameplay update coming up
Actually I'm going to have to postpone it to tomorrow. I am way too tired to do it properly now. Sorry.
L 3 WBL is 3000gp. Excepting our two fresh starters we are a bit under that in raw gold but a bit over in total wealth.
As adamantine costs 3000 gp to add to a weapon if chingo allowed it you'd basically have the weapon and nothing else.
Though it is a funny mental image of Sabrik charing out of the forest in the buff with no material possessions save a single well crafted blade.
Perhaps he got mugged by pixies.
Perhaps the Katana was glued to his hand in his sleep.

... Well to be honest, I have hide armor which basically is just a few animal pelts layered on my body... And I can always sell my horse. :)
But then again, I could just get a masterworks katana... And upgrade to some better armor...
How much gold would I be able to use exactly?
Perhaps I can afford to replace Brunswick with a bear :D
But to be honest... My mount as a beast rider counts as an animal companion.

Ooh! How aboutElysian bronze? It only increases the price 1000gp, leaving me plenty for my armor and basic supplies.
I'm also thinking to get some actual eastern armor :)
Okay... Well, seeing that the last thing Sabrik did was leave because he was ordered back by his order. I left to go to the burial of my former master. He had left me some gold(the makeup for my time gone, and possibly the sword) and I had taken some time to reflect on my life. When Sabrik comes back he will be more focused and less like a raging bull like he was before.
You need some tea too?
Need to report you for the abuse of technology. :p

... I just realized I still have Sabrik as my primary alias... Huh...
Well, anyways, I'm going with 2500gp maximum as my possessions worth... Not counting Brunswick :)
Oh, you guys are in battle? Let me see...
Are you inside? From what I read it sounds like inside. If it's outside I can charge in with Brunswick whilst sounding a horn and brandishing my katana :) and my explanation: I tracked you down by following the trail from where I got off. Asked around and used my ingenious persuasion tactics (with my katana) to get on your tail. Then, I simply followed on Brunswick, slowly catching up.
We are in a temple in the middle of the massive forest/jungle territory to the north of Bhelskar (the city our group met.)
Its an ancient place devoted to keeping a big nasty demon from getting free. We took a secret path known only by the Koroku druids to get into the temple quietly.
There was a pretty significant dust-up in the jungle between the Ghost bear and Bherug tribes. Additionally Bhelskars armies have been dispatched to the area to end the threat the Bherug tribe has presented to traders and ships passing near the area.
Here is an idea.
You could have returned to Bhelskar, found out where we were going and arrived about the time the Black stripes (Elites of the Bhelskar military) were departing. You met up with them in the forest and got delayed for one reason or another.
Meeting up with the rest of their unit who had gathered with the Ghost bear tribe to push for the temple of Ang Varshon you informed the leaders as to who you were and they informed you as to the direction your allies were headed.
Perhaps you could have joined the combined armies and used Brunzwick to punch through enemy lines to meet up with us.
Going to be an interesting arrival...
