What’s a little mind control among friends?
Just posting to say "still here".
Me too...
sorry Ill be posting tonight. I had family over this weekend for holiday.
Ditto, still here
Hey all. I just wanted to apologize for my silence/absence this last week. Looks like we haven't gotten too far ahead but, still, I want to apologize for not contributing. Long story short, work and real life has been very busy lately. I've come to the realization this is my new normal and I'm pulling back from some of my campaigns, but would like to continue with this one if you'll still have me.
Im going to give snow (dom) until tomorrow to post before I continue. because this fight will be a extended fight. so once we get started I will be posting every day until it over, and setting a deadline of same day to post your round. and I need to know if I need to drop some CR people that I was planning on introing. because if he is out that will only be three people.
he hasn't posted on any of his forums, so I hope he is ok.
All, I'm very sorry. We had to say goodbye to our dog last Wednesday. We've had him longer than we've been married and in many ways he was our first child. It hit me really hard. That said, short of a bus hitting one of us, I have trouble seeing how much more could fall on me at this point so posting should be back to normal now.
Wow. RNG freakin’ hates me right now. Will have something up later today.
The kids under the stairs, next round if Nanta does another five foot step before a channel positive energy would that be able to buy them a round? Nanta can be cold and pragmatic but burning orphans is a bit much even for him to stomach.
@dom- no you and yergin are on different elevations. if you attack him there isn't a AoO, you get the +1 to attack higher ground also.
@nanta- some might, you don't know how far down they are, originally there was 20 something kids, so not all of them died they just aren't shown and each child on the map represented a certain number.
Second paragraph in Bomb (Su) entry, in case its needed.
will delay finishing the round until tomorrow due to only half group posting.
GM, I realize I failed by any measure but for future reference, on weekends do you expect a post each day or just once for the weekend? My apologies; I did try posting a substantive post with different contingencies twice on Saturday and both times my computer ate them.
Also... how do I get a new RNG seed? This one hates me. :-(
Your right I didn't really go into that, I am ok with the weekend for battles to wait til sun night to continue the battle, so ill post Fri night then optional til sunday, ill only move forward if everyone posts.
GM, I can't recall if you previously invited us to post "instructions" in the event botting is necessary, but I did get around to it. They're saved on Dom's profile in a spoiler block, but here they are again given his abilities at 1st level:
Dom will try to avoid melee combat and, if threatened, would cast mage armor. However, for offensive purposes, he will generally either fire his crossbow from range or, if that's not an option, simply try to demoralize an opponent. I'd rather save his offensive spells for when I want to try to cast (aka waste) them. (God, that fight was depressing.)
Hi all. I've just been slammed with an emergency project that is likely to last through the weekend. I'll try to keep up but please bot as necessary. I'm all out of spells but for the 0-levels.
For those that didn't see, I opened the recruitment for Vyushi character . Once he is done he will post on discussion, and gameplay.
Everyone make him feel welcome please.
Sounds awesome. Fresh meat... I mean, yay new players! ;-)
Greetings and salutations. I'm just deciding on a 2nd trait but otherwise finished and ready to go.
Hey there. Welcome! Looking forward to playing with you.
Greetings!!!
Welcome aboard.
You can post whenever your ready Vyushi. Damn I did a long post with all the rules and Pazio ate it.
Lamn's fate options.
1. Kill em, he sucks.
2. Take him to jail.
5. Come to mutual agreement.
Options I amn't in favour of
3. house arrest at somones house until verifying info. (then decide) -It'll require a PC to babysit him so I don't like this option
4. Torture to get him to talk. (you will still need to decide what to do with him after) -Nanta sees this as on the table, the player doesn't see the point.
started a sheet to track non-monetary items- anyone can claim anything, just be aware that your a group so try to give everyone a opportunity to claim something. the monetary funds will be split equally once the choosing is done, with a little hand waving on selling the items not claimed, I will post the items on the excel sheet and the art objects here in the discussion tab, you can take a art object if you think it is really cool, but it will bring down the split gold. If you don't want me to sell off something at certain points of the game I.E. when we rest and collect living expenses. I will wipe all the items unclaimed. (sell them) and split the money at that time. I wont put Quest items here so don't worry about not following up a clue.
garnet amulet worth 100 gp
120 sp
ring of keys (for all locks in the fishery)
The treasures include a narrow teak cigar case inlaid with tiny bits of jade worth 25 gp, a 2-pound gold ingot worth 100 gp bearing the Cheliax coat of arms, a miniature gold crown worth 350 gp, a fist-sized scrimshaw carving of a kraken with garnets for eyes worth 200 gp, a silver ring worth 150 gp bearing the inscription “For Emmah—the light in my nights,” a highly realistic and highly scandalous ivory figurine of two entwined succubi worth 450 gp, a masterwork shuriken, an adamantine arrowhead, an abalone-shell holy symbol of Shelyn worth 300 ,
No problem accessing the loot sheet.
Think also players - does capturing a suspected/accused bad guy and turning them in to the law mean you immediately gain the legal right to everything they own?
I'm pretty much in the same boat as Nanta on the options. On the torture, while Dom might not be outright opposed to it, I just don't see that as an option given that (I think) we have at least one good-aligned character in the group.
Honestly, Dom sees it as inevitable that the "law" will have its way with Lamm and, actually, has contempt for that outcome but doesn't see much can be done to change it.
That said... How much can we draw on our contacts from our backgrounds? That's giving me a couple of ideas where we could park him somewhere but it wouldn't require a PC to be taken out of action.
Dervin is from outside Korvosa, relatively new (only a few months) and has purposefully limited his contacts (trust issues from the circumstances that brought him here.)
Meta-wise, Korvosa and its powers favor the strong and influential. Lamn is severely weakened and useless to the masters. His son has obviously supplanted him in the hierarchy. I think that he'd die of old age/mistreatment/be killed in jail. Just my opinion, meta-wise.
Kesso pulls everyone aside and suggests. What if we let him go but are open about where we got the information. That would at the very least destroy his credibility within the organization and be a punishment of sorts.
Nanta is very lawful but I don't want to force the party. He could get by with letting Lamn go to get Rolth. What actual proof do we have that Rolth is real?
Couldn't Lamn have drank one of the aging potions, sat in the wheelchair and played the doddering old man.
Your suspicion is not unfounded. It's the reason I wanted to check his hygiene; if he were clean, then the potion would have been more likely than he actually being crippled.
Sorry for not posting yesterday. Everytime I tried to logon I got the goblin 404 screen.

Me too :(
Dervin will be a quick study with that Portable Alchemy kit...
Half it is!
Right on, Nanta!
I want to keep this moving forward at a good pace, but I don't want to monopolize the game and stifle others from contributing...
I would appreciate it if you'd all be blunt (I won't be offended) and tell me if I should back off a little, or if some just don't have much to say.
I am very sick right now. Please bot.
Feel better, Kesso! Sorry to hear it.
And I'm getting slammed by back-to-back projects. Trying to get caught up right now but I am very sorry.

On the loot...
Based on what Gaedren has said, I think we should hold on to the dagger. Once in a safer place (and probably next day), Dom might like to check its psychic aura and see if maybe he can learn anything more about it. I just don't think we should sell it right away.
On the wands, I think I can use the wand of magic missile automatically since that's on a psychic's spell list and will definitely improve my combat effectiveness. I'm indifferent on the wand of acid splash. I am investing in Use Magic Device, but that's not on my spell list so it won't be very reliable. Might be better of selling it and sharing the coin.
Dervin's opinion on loot:
All the art, gems and jewelry be sold off and the gold split.
Wands, don't have a strong opinion, though Dervin does have acid splash as a spell, so maybe that wand may be suitable for him.
The common weapons and armor, sold off unless anyone sees an upgrade.
Dervin would like the dagger and the alchemy kit. Totally in favor of Dom checking the aura to glean as much info off it as could be gathered for the party.
Potions split up, Shiver disposed of. Anything on the red powder we'd need to RP on the thread though.
I'm good with all of that. If Dervin can use the acid splash wand, I have no problem with him taking it. Can be a useful little spell sometimes.
I think Kesso left so ill be reaching out for a melee type character shortly in recruitment- (a couple of days)
if anyone has any ideas or people you know that would like to join, you can reach out and let me know I always prefer people that others have met on the PbP borads to random recruitment check.
Hi all. Just saw a twitter update the site was back up. I’ve been traveling since Wednesday and every time I’ve tried to logon the site has been down. Will be home again on Wednesday and will try to update the next day or two while traveling if the site allows it. Hopefully things will stabilize soon and this is the end of it.
Lets see who we all get back today is the first day I could post in the last three weeks , I have almost quit myself so I want to see who is still on. please post on here I think we will check the interest and do a pause then restart where we are at on 9-3 to make sure everyone is here.
Still here.
