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...

That would be rad! But she will
Have to put up with Marsh. ;)


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

Such is life, right? Just play nice, Marsh. I worry sometimes that our favorite multiclass nutball might be a bit TOO prickly.


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

Heh not too prickly


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

Vincent "The Cactus" Marsh does have a nice ring to it, though, doesn't it?

I must now make that a character in whatever wrestling game is out now.


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

In all seriousness, Marsh is a character, this is a game. If you are offended by anything he says I am sorry.

. . . And your mom raised you too sensitive, harden up cream puff!

Heh heh!

;)

Love,

The Cactus


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

No worries. I also find Marsh to be a very entertaining character, so no complaints there. I believe Warshawski will be joining us shortly, then!

Also, I'm just going to go ahead and bot Dramin. That makes three bots in one party for this round! (Plus Dio, though he's taking a break for his own sake as well as mine.) No worries, though, I'm sure Dramin's next action would not be too difficult to guess.


Sorry was on vacation, should have mentioned that but with the crazy planning my mind slipped.
Apologies!

Just bot me as I'm still on mobile and a good post is annoying with BBCode.


Halfling Hunter 4

No issues with old returnees - not that I assume a vote anyway as the latest comer to the party.

Budd - did Doriv take an action this round? if not, did she say anything to the friendly bear that Niklos might've overheard?


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

She probably screamed a bit. She's at like -8 hp or something, so her even being conscious at that point is purely GM fiat. :) Everybody seemed really dedicated to making sure she wasn't getting away. Mission: accomplished.

I'd say it's fairly obvious to Niklos at this distance that Doriv's no longer a threat, especially if Duroj is going to maul her; but if you want to question her, I'm sure that could be arranged.


Halfling Hunter 4

Roger roger - just wanted to make sure I had it straight before posting an action :)

Look at what you children have gotten yourselves into while I was gone.

I blame Marsh.

OMG Budd! Occult Adventures has a freaking Psychic Detective archetype for Investigator!!! If only this had come out before this game started!


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

I know, right? I wants it. I needs it. I don't have Unchained yet, either, or the 5th Ed. Monster Manual. That's three hardcovers I'm behind on. :< I would allow you to rebuild Warshawski as a Psychic Detective if seeing spirits hadn't already been such a big part of the adventure so far. Still probably would if you really wanted it. I'm a nice GM like that.

By the by, as it happens, one of the other games I'm playing in appears to have crapped out, and another has reached the end of the module we were running; that will leave only one game I'm playing in and this bad boy. I'm thinking about trying to run another campaign at some point after that. I really want to run the Price of Immortality trilogy of modules (Crypt of the Everflame, Masks of the Living God, and Island of Golden Death- plus a modified Fangwood Keep in there somewhere) at some point, because A) I own them, B) they're cool adventures (Masks is particularly awesome), and C) they're straightforward and easy on the GM, and thus not overly difficult to run alongside something more open-ended and thought-intensive, like this is. :) But I also want to try running something in a dark fantasy / gothic horror homebrew setting I've been sitting on for about a year now. I'll let you guys know if I end up deciding to try and open either of those up, in case any of you are interested in joining in such a thing.

Just so you guys know, this adventure has gone so far off the rails provided by the original module that I'm pretty much completely winging it now. Although... the writer of Feast of Ravenmoor does warn that this happening is a distinct possibility. I'm loving it.


Halfling Hunter 4

Dark Fantasy / Gothic Horror plus Occult seems a perfect fit ;)

I'd be up for anything and everything.

Please let us know. I have the idea of a campaign only using Occult Adventures classes.

Yeah, count me in too. Might dabble in a brawler or warpriest type...or that might be the sleep deprivation talking. Just finished watching Interstellar for the first time and my mind is blown.

Budd, I think the spirit sight is too important to Warshawski to rejigger her but if we level again I might think about multiclassing into medium.


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

Sounds groovy!

I'll have answers to everybody's questions when I get home later. At work till 5ish.


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

Okay, so my math sucks a bit. Marsh has 11 CON out of his normal 13 Con so he is actually going to be at -2 HP on his next turn, not -5.


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

You're right. He should live. But excellent roleplaying, nonetheless. ;)


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)

Wait. Even with 5 hp back to him?


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

Totally hadn't read that yet. He should definitely live then! ...unless somehow you guys don't manage to damage Leonard at all this turn. He could presumably still die in that case. Stranger things have happened.


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

Okay final math here. Marsh didn't take any hp of damage this last round just -1 CON his base is 13 so I had mistakenly subtracted -3 hp when he dropped to 12 con. So at my post he is at 7hp due to rage. When he gets to his turn next round he will drop -6hp due to losing his +4 CON Rage bonus. With the 5hp he was just healed with, he will be at 12 hp while being attacked by Leonard and will drop to +6hp on his move . . . If he survives that is.


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

I'll give Dramin until morning to post, and if he hasn't gotten anything up by then I'll just bot him for the round.

Speaking of botting, it's now been at least a month since Dalton posted. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I can't bot him forever! I think he'll be back eventually, but with two new party members joining and the return of Warshawski, I think it's time to look into writing our monk out of the picture for the moment.

Also, it's time we started talking about leveling up! You guys should be hitting level 4 soon. Get hyped, y'all! I'm winging it on XP, but I think you huys might hit level 4 after this combat or the next. Stay tuned...


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

Whoop there it is! Whoop there it is!

Hopefully Dalton will emerge. I know he's got to be busy with the new baby and all.

As for leveling up? Yeah, that's a message I can get behind. Especially if could happen before Hastur shows up.

Whew. Dodged that bullet.
The tatters of the king dance in your head, as your own sanity turns to do the same.

Muwahahaha!


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

Post will have to be a little late tonight. I didn't get a chance to do it before work, sadly.

So Paizo announced a "horror adventures" book. I wish I had that now. ;_;

You don't need anymore material CHUD! :)

I hope Dalton returns, but I am glad we have Warshawski back. I am dying to know what the heck has been happening to her. That's the great thing about horror. Knowing what we know and have seen causes the imagination to cook up all kinds of terrors and tortures happening to her.

Let's just say Occult Adventures came out at JUST the right time.


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

What're you talking about? The Misbegotten just whisked Warshawski away for her FREE deluxe spa treatment! They may be the mutant spawn of some unholy abomination, but they give fantastic massages.

Warshawski has more to say (information the rest of you don't have that should be imparted) but I want to wait to give others a chance to respond.

Also, I'm going on vacation starting on Saturday. I should be able to post in the evenings, though, with a little luck. I promise I'm not vanishing again.


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

No worries.

In similar news, I can't post tonight because I didn't sleep at all last night and had to work an extra half a shift today and I have to be back first thing in the morning and ahhhghghghhg

So I'll post up something good for y'all tomorrow. :D Feel free to continue the banter in the meantime, it's good stuff. ("Good stuff" is apparently now my most overused phrase. Weird, because I never say that in real life...)


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

I did a few updates to the Wiki tonight for funs. Leonard's page has been updated to reflect the recent developments. :D Also, finally added Niklos to the roster!


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)

Hey gang, I'm finding myself in the midst of a really busy weekend. Nothing major but I'm plotting an actual play for a group I work with online. I'll try and catch up this afternoon and post up as well.


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

Roger roger!


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

Long weekend, eh? ;) I'd like to give it another day to see if anyone has any input on the last post before moving along in pursuit of our friendly neighborhood Weaver. Assuming you guys manage to track her down and defeat her, you'll officially hit level 4!


Female Human Investigator (Spiritualist) 3, Medium 2 || HP 33/33 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | Fort + 2 | Ref + 5 | Wil + 9 | CMD 15 | Init +2 | Per + 10 (+12 vs surprise) | Sense Motive + 10 | IP 3/3 | Influence 0

Did Warshawski get the impression that she needed to

A) Wait in that spot until the elf ghost returned or just stay in the prime material realm and general Ravenwood area?

And

B) Take care of Calwen's body right then and there?


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

A) Not really. He's a spirit. He'll find you.

B) Totally up to your personal interpretation. Realistically there's probably no time to bury her now, with dark falling and the Festival ending. Might want to move her body out from behind the mayor's house, though.

Monday was a a massive kick in the teeth. Suffice to say I had enough cognitive function left at the end to watch some Justice League on Netflix. I'll jump on first thing in the morning, but if you don't want to wait, Bacarov will take advantage of his new found Darkvision to help with the tracking.

Pkus, does anyone need to get topped off with the CLW wand?

Warshawski still has some damage but I'd rather save the charges if need be.


Mr. Detective, Dramin's thinking regarding the colour spray scroll is that due to its reactive nature (instead of being proactive like scent); it could be dangerous to rely on it. I don't think I got it across that way, sorry!


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)

Not at all. My player brain got color spray mixed up with Glitterdust, so I had to straighten out Bacarov's thoughts internally. You hit that one in game perfectly, and Bacarov's response is true to the point he'll depend on the experts in the field.


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

Uuuugh, I'm sorry to keep making you guys wait more than a day for a post, but my mind and body are stretched past the limit right now. I had to get a second job (trying to save up for that engagement ring so we can make it official, yo). That's eaten up 90% of my time for the week, and 99% of my health (physical and mental). I'm such a wreck right now. That said, I will try to get a post up tomorrow before work, and I'm off this whole weekend, so we'll get caught up over the next 24 hours!

oh god my thighs hurt so bad you guys

Sorry all. I can't get my laptop to work with the hotel's wifi and posting via iPad is frustrating as hell. I'm back home on Sunday and will post then.
