Enjoy Perth!
Fish and Joneth, if you guys are out there, you're up.
Sorry guys, a combination of work and waiting for Fish has thrown me a bit off of my game. I will post as soon as possible.
Cedrick, you want to pop in there too and then I can have Nachni go. I guess VoV can either put Fish on delay or GM PC her.
I am back in KL now and returning to the typical home routine... though will be another 8-24 hours before I get the first post back up in thread. Thanks for your patience :)
Rather than DMPC I'm putting Fish on overwatch at the entrance - that way she can be useful (take care of the two seabird chasers) as well as rejoin as soon as she comes back.
DM is still here - just going through a small real life loss of creative focus. Issue will rectify soon I am sure and I shall return to form. Patience is appreciated and please enjoy a cookie while you wait.
Ah man, you forgot to tell us that the octogoblins had left a plate of warm welcoming cookies out front. That would have made the plotting and planning session so much more enjoyable.
They left cookies?!?!?!
(Fish is holding out on us, isn't she)
I will be out of town for the weekend due to Easter vacation. Please DMPC Joneth as needed.
Easter? Wasn't that like a month ago?
Not for us Greeks. Orthodox Easter is this Sunday. :-)
Yeah my mate invited me over for Greek Easter, then worked out it is SUNDAY not SATURDAY. Epic fail ;p.
Strange calendar they have...!
Just a quick update - I'm getting my head back in the game and re-energized towards giving you guys better service then I have over the last few weeks. However the next three days I will be on a short roadtrip - getting put into a fake helicopter that they'll repeatedly drop into water upside down while I'm in it. As long as I get out without drowning I pass...
I'm hoping there will be interwebbage in the evenings... but I'm not certain.
Cool, not everyone gets to be the test dummy for helicopter crashes. Have fun.
Somehow that sounds like something that could inspire all sorts of trouble for this campaign :) Good luck and see you when you're dry again!
Turns out that net is somewhat limited so I'm not going to get the posts up... however I will get them pre-written so I can post up later.
Dunking happens tomorrow... today we just got to put things out with fire extinguishers.
Hey, at least you aren't having to put each other out with extinguishers!
I wish to apologize to everyone for disappearing. It was rude and unkind, however unintentional. You see, I simply forgot. There's a long story that involves family drama, a disputed inheritance, dying matriarchs, and a long drive across the Nevada desert accompanied by an 80S soundtrack, but really, the heart of the story is rather unoriginal.(I swear on my collection of holy books, everything it's all true.)
Just wanted to pop back in to apologize and give people some idea of what happened. Sorry, and thanks for letting me play with you. If the group is still interested, I'd really like to jump back in. Posting should be as regular as it was prior to disappearing.
P.S. I remembered when one of the guys from our RL group tracked me down and suggested doing a skype session during the summer holiday. That got me thinking Hmm, if Skype doesn't work, we could use the Paizo website to... Oh crap.
Spots still open for you Fish - so feel free to jump back in. Real Life happens sometimes and the long haul is always more reliable than the short.
Just give me a short spoilered IC post on how you'd propose you'd deal with the two grindylows when they return from chasing randy seabirds then I'll reintroduce you to the rest of the group once Deader decides on the quick or the slow.
Ah man, I thought we were all set to use Fish as bait. Oh well, it is always hard to find good witches.
Welcome back Fish!
I am loved! Warms the cockles of my heart it does.
Fish has a heart? That is news to me.
She carries it around in a box, think it came off one of the Rahadoumi's. If she doesn't eat it soon it's going to start to smell.
What's with all these new avatar pictures? I'm starting to feel left out.
Guys, I am going to be out of town for the next four days, give or take a day. I may actually be able to post this time around, but if I seem to be taking too long, please DMPC Joneth as needed so as not to bog down the game.
Never did roll Greedy's HP.
He started with 1 HD, then became a zombie, so it's HD changed to D8s and he got 1 bonus HD from size, so he gets 8 HP base.
Nice. Greedy's a tough little bugger.
With DR5/Slashing he only took 2 damage from that last set of attacks, putting him currently at 14/16 HP.
Edit: Greedy's stats added to alias. Grindylows make surprisingly good zombies.
Paizo site has been like treacle for me tonight which has hampered the ease of posting. I'm out of the office for the full day tomorrow, so shall have next in game post tomorrow night (my time).
Glad to know I'm not the only one it happens too. Each time I've tried to post this week it says the store is down. :(
Between guests in town, babysitting both of our tots all day while my wife is at a conference and struggling with exercise induced leg pain I've not managed a post today... hopeful for tomorrow.
Playing Deader makes me really wish there was a necromantic bard archetype.
The image in my head of an undead octo-goblin wrapped in hook-covered netting is like something out of a Hellraiser movie. I really like it. :)
Voice, would you allow the hooks to be treated as a Barbed Vest?
That's so wrong it's right.
I was thinking that fabricating an undead octopus into a helmet for Deader would be most apropos for this team.
I have craft wondrous item...
He's covered in hooks and weighs forty pounds.
Worst. Helmet. Ever.
I think he means some other octopus - making you a Cthulhu hat.
Actually, I've been sitting here for a few minutes and thinking about this.
I think I can make it work...
It would be awesome.
has Tenta-cools.

nice
I think I can make it work...
Yes, yes we can.
Deader - on the barbed vest... yeah, why the hell not.
Awesome. Thanks. :)
I need the stats of my new crewmate.
I also have a couple questions on how you want to work Necromancy in this game.
When an undead is killed, can it's corpse be raised again with another casting of Animate Dead? (does it revert back to a corpse unless disintegrated or something?)
The 25 GP per HD Onyx cost causes a huge problem for Necromancers.
It means that every necromancer needs to basically own an Onyx mine, or have access to Polymorph Any Object before they can really create their own undead. It becomes way more cost effective just to hunt down and Command undead rather than making your own. Based on the Gem Tables, there is no way (short of GM Caveat) for any necromancer to create an undead higher than about 5 HD, because Onyx of that value simply doesn't exist.
Deader's basically going to be trying to trade every copper he gets for Onyx, which I'm not a big fan of. If I can't figure out a way to change or reduce the cost, I'm going to have to burn a feat on False Focus just so I can have access to my character's schtick.
So, here are my requests-
Allow Deader to use Scrimshaw instead of Onyx. That way, when he had time to create undead more slowly and ritually, their strength will be directly related to the skill of his own artwork.
-And/Or-
Make the component into Onyx Dust so that smaller values of onyx can be combined together to fuel a more powerful casting.
What do you think?
Deader - it's a standard Lacedon as per PRD.
I'd think that re-raising an undead would be a little harder. Maybe with a little time spent patching it back together afterwards? - a corpse would be pretty battered by the time it's been killed twice.
As to the onyx cost - I'd be happy for you to desecrate anything of similar value to suit. So scrimshaw, or pieces of gold sewn under the tongue, etc.
Great, thank you.
I plan on patching up Greedy, animating a friend for him, and turning them into something else. You'll see. :)
Gah - ran out of time tonight - tomorrow post incoming, but I'm in a course the whole week so it will be late evening my time when it goes live.
