Death and Taxes - GM Budd the C.H.U.D.'s Feast of Ravenmoor

Game Master Budd the C.H.U.D.

In life, only two things are inevitable - death and taxes. An investigation into a missing tax collector from Magnimar led our heroes to the isolated village of Ravenmoor, but what they found there was a community dominated by a cult of Ghlaunder, God of Parasites. They also uncovered the identity of the twisted being responsible for the corruption of the town, and learned that this same being has sinister plans for a small, isolated city in the mires of Ustalav. Carrion Hill beckons...

Thanks, guys.


The ACG of course.
Spirit's Gift

*holds breath*

Good to hear all is well though.

To think on it I feel that the Shaman feats in general are a little silly (Spirit Talker is another one that can get gross) and so is Evolved Companion for Pounce.

In other news... a little feat called Spirit’s Gift is officially in the astonishingly good category for anyone with an animal companion. I've taken it for now... but I'm a tad worried it's too good. (it is banned in PFS)

Essentially it can be changed each day, and you get to choose one of the following to apply to the animal companion:
+2 Inherent to Str; DR 5/Adamantium; +2 Init and +4 Stealth; Fast Healing 1... list goes on

** spoiler omitted **...

wow, I thought he was joking about that feat. It does seem like it could be a bit broken, but maybe not depending on the game and PC/animal combination.

I think the DR 5 seems the most dicey, but a +2 to str or Init is kinda meh, like bless or bardic buffing. Fast healing? Hummmm at low levels might be pretty powerful.

I just can't win for losin'... I had the most awkward day, and it was one that really should have been awesome: went to see Jurassic World (it was fun) and then right back for a second round with Mad Max: Fury Road (just as awesome the second time around). But I somehow managed to have a kind of cruddy day anyway. :\

Anyhoo, I'll have a post up before I go to bed tonight. Hope everybody had a good weekend (or at least better than mine)!

Sorry to hear things went sideways, Budd. Hope Monday turns things around!

Still snuffling through the truffles, just been busy with a work course this week.

Roughly when would you like Niklos ready for insertion? (I work better with deadlines ;)

You have one hour sir. ;)


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Hmmm... Lessee. Let's try and have Niklos finished-finished by Friday. I'll try to figure out a good way to work him in in the meantime, because I don't want to make you wait until the party leaves Ravenmoor to introduce you (unless you'd rather do that). If you have any ideas on how to stumble into the proceedings, let me know!

I think now is a great time for the other to get to know Voyla, and what she can do.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Guys, I seem to have accidentally killed my internet router. I'll be working on fixing it, but if I'm not able to post tonight, that's why. Thanks.

EDIT: False alarm, I fixed it. Hooray!

Good luck!

Niklos is mechanically done and ready for action.

Budd:
As to insertion, probably stretches belief to have two random people show up to help in one fight... so happy to have Niklos encountered as he wanders into town to do some bear-busking?

I need to do a couple announcements.

I will be out this weekend at a great place so I won't be able to post much (or at all). I will be back on Sunday night. Please bot me if needed.

I participate in a "Gaming Community" I learned of on the Paizo Forums, and they are recruiting. So if you are interested, I recommend them fully. Here is their Recruitment post:

Greetings Gamers!

Woldiangames.com is excited to announce that we are starting a new ongoing game in our campaign world/gaming community! It is called Lakeview Passage. This game will take place in The Floating City, a 6 level city that floats in Turtle Lake. Surrounded by one of the seven magical forests, The Crying Woods, it is the epitome civilization surrounded by its polar opposite: a forest that hates all animal life and signs of civilization. The Big Float has been suffering lately with various difficulties in importing all the necessities of life for 70,000 citizens. Can an adventuring group from Lakeview Passage of the Fence Level make a difference for their neighborhood and even the city at large? Only time and adventure will tell.
To see the campaign material for The Floating City go to: HERE.
To see information on the Crying Woods go to: HERE.
To see the main website entrance go to: HERE
The Wold is here to stay! We are not one of those games or sites that will disappear just as you are getting interested in the game and your character. So if you’ve been looking for that quality game that does not go away, we’re your site!
The Wold is a Fantasy Campaign World [using the Pathfinder gamesystem], that originated in the early 1980's. It went online in 1997 and it has evolved into a very large website with several hundred pages of campaign information.
We currently offer 8 permanent ongoing games and many other pickup games for those members who want more. Play by post occurs on our self-made java programmed message boards with their own dice mechanisms, and auto-archiving features. We offer a Message Board called The Giggling Ghost where our gamers can chat "in character" and head out for various “pick-up” adventurers. There is also a private board that allows the players to talk and discuss just about anything in an "out of character format." These boards helps us create that all important sense of community and friendship which is a part of any good group of gamers. Also added is a board called The Catacombs where all character shopping occurs and The Black Genie Center where all Woldians may go to help develop new original material for our campaign world.
To visit the Games Page to check out the ongoing games, go to: HERE

Hope to see you there!

I'm dead, I died.

Nah, just kidding. Waiting on actions for the rest of the party.

But I think you got that tentacle, Marsh.

Long day of prep for an upcoming getaway. I'll get something up in the morning unless I can write up something before sleep takes me tonight.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

No worries. I'll be playing in my girlfriend's campaign for most of tomorrow, so it might be evening before I can check in.

In the meantime: if you're getting a "John Carpenter" vibe from our piggy friend here, then hooray for you! You get a virtual cigar. The original cythnigot in the module is basically just an ugly pig with a venus flytrap coming out of its back, which I felt didn't do the creepiness of a qlippoth justice.

Nice adaptation of the monster!

I just wanted to say that I am very sorry about the way I abandoned the team. This isn't usually my style; I was at some point so fed up with forum games that I could not bring myself to log in anymore. Not even to the one game that was running well.

I wish you have fun and bring down the evil that haunts Ravenmoor.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Thanks for popping in to say something, though. I'll try to honor Calwen's character as she sticks around as an npc.


Human Barb 1/Rgr 2/Rog 2 HP 41 AC 19, touch 12, flat-footed 17 Fort +6, Ref +8, Will +1 Init +4 Perception +9 Sense Motive +7 Evasion

I appreciate you giving us a heads up. It is better than being left to wonder what happened. I hope whatever troubles you had are behind you.


All we need are some zombies because I'm getting a Dunwich Horror vibe here.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Funny you should mention Dunwich... ;)


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Hm-hm, so intense! This is the best part of GMing- just getting to sit back and let the players go at it for a bit.

Keep up the good RP, folks!

By the way, you'll probably be reaching level 4 before long. Considering the state of things in Ravenmoor right now, you might need it.


I'm not sure where Dramin will go at 4!
I think it depends on the choices coming up and where the game continues onward.

Oh organics!

I'm out in the boondocks this weekend with little coverage. I should be able to catch up on Monday.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Just a quick update: I've been buried with work the last couple days, but I should be able to get a real post up later to get us moving toward the mayor's house.

So long as the post had us arriving with torches and pitch forks, it'll be worth the wait, 'natch.


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Boards ate my post when they went down last night. :(

Will redo during break today.


National holiday for me.
With little to no reception.

Will be back Thursday!

I'm tellin' ya, Budd, Write it up in a word processor then cut and paste it. Paizo lulls you into a false sense of security... "Oh aye, I'll let ya write up yer post there, laddie. Sure, sure...ya can trust me...go ahead n' hit submit. Aye, tha's the way, laddie. Oops! A wee bit o' hiccup? Don' worry, hit the back button...oh no, laddie! It dinnah work for ye either?"

Yeah. It's a lot like that...


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

I normally do. The one time I tried to rush in and write it on the boards first... whhhyyyyy

Anyhoo, working on a new post now. Turns out EVERY post I made last night was eaten alive by the boards. :\


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Quick update in case I'm holding anybody up- I had to spend the whole fourth of july with the "in-laws" and only just got home. I have work in the morning so I won't be able to post until the afternoon. Sorry!

Hey all, taking my 4th of July vacation trip this week. Going to be in Denver - updating sporadically. I'll get back home on Sunday.

Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

I'm so sorry, man, I got myself so busy at work and with these dumb holiday trips over the last couple weeks that I haven't even had much thought as to how to introduce you into the campaign. Any ideas for what Niklos could be up to currently, anybody? I mean, with a dancing bear, he'd be the life of the town festival, but I'd be asking you all to swallow yet another out-of-towner happening to be in isolated Ravenmoor at the same time who also finds cause to meet up with you guys... o'course, if nobody minds that, I could have Niklos at the Festival right now, observing the crowning of the Queen of the Festival...

I feel like I've been kinda dropping the ball with PbP lately. Blame it on the aforementioned constant work and traveling. That said... I happen to have the next three days off with no obligations on any of them! During that time, let's get this sucker crackin' again, get Niklos introduced if possible, and barrel forward toward the climax of this module! [braveheartvoice]Who's with me?![/braveheartvoice]

I am!
I would say you let him in as soon and as simple as possible. He arrived to the festival late, and he is ready for action, and that's it!


Halfling Hunter 4

I'm happy with whatever narratively works (obviously with an interest to getting involved as and when I can) - if that has me arriving during the crowning, I'm cool with that. If it has me arriving in the aftermath - also cool.


Oracle (lvl 5) | HP 30/30 | AC:19 (23 CoD), T:12, F:15 | CMD:15, CMB:+3 | Save F+1, R+3, W+5 (+4 vs Illusions, Disguises, Divinations) | Init:+3 | Perc: +9 (DV 60ft) || Wands CLW 25/50 || Spells: lvl 1 (6/7) | lvl 2 (4/5)

Indeed. Get him going!


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Then I have my job for the day. ;)


Human Barb 1/Rgr 2/Rog 2 HP 41 AC 19, touch 12, flat-footed 17 Fort +6, Ref +8, Will +1 Init +4 Perception +9 Sense Motive +7 Evasion

Have him entertain kids, he travels around and how old is he?


Halfling Hunter 4

He's young adult-ish in terms of Halfling-age... I often don't tie down the years much further than that.


Halfling Hunter 4

In other news - starting tomorrow at roughly lunchtime my time I'll be taking a four day holiday. A quick vacation across to P%%#et... or for the benefit of Paizo's confusing wordfiltery boards Pooket.

I'll have my tablet and keyboard with me - so should still manage to keep up with things as they go, but if I'm a bit tardy that'd be the reason why.


Halfling Hunter 4

Arrived on holiday and got quite sick - facepalm. Will be back in thread when condition improves

Hi! turns out I am trying to get a Ultimate Intrigue's Vigilante playtest, and to start it up I am missing a player doing a Zealot Vigilante.
If you feel like it, you can check the recruitment thread at Corsario's The Birth of Taldan's Defenders. Thanks


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Groovy. Will look into it!


Enormous Radioactive Monster - - hp tons/tons - - AC nuh-uh I got forcefield

Guys. I have very interesting news! Warshawski (JGray) messaged me last night and is interested in rejoining the game! Considering that Warshawski was one of my favorite characters, I'm pretty excited.

I realize that this means the group has grown pretty large, with Voyla a newcomer and Niklos having only just made his first appearance to the rest of the group- or, at least, his bear has- but I'm absolutely thrilled that Warshawski will be returning, and I can handle the burden of a large party... trust me. ;)

Any objections to letting a longtime companion rejoin the team?

Also, next round summary will go up in just a bit.
