As a side note, I would not mind trying out Mythic if you want to, GM. I got a chance to read the rules fully recently.


I only have the HeroLab pack. I certainly wish I could get a hold of the actual book.


Male Human Sorcerer

I've picked up the Mythic Adventures book. I've noted one very worrying trend. Upon becoming mythic, the male iconics tend to shed clothing whereas the females tend to gain it. This seems terribly, terribly wrong for some reason. Much illustration disappointment.

Hello everyone,

I know the timing is not the best, but I wanted to let you all know that starting from today (still have a couple hundred Km to travel) I will be GMing at a Pathfinder Society Con over here in my neck of the woods.

This will last until Sunday evening, and even though I wil probably have access to my PC, I cannot guarantee any decent posting during this period.

Next Monday I will be back in business.

Cheers,

Tiriael.


No problem, thanks for the heads up.

So any ideas on how to take down this thing?


Male Human Swashbuckler 5 / Slayer 5

Pummel it?

Pretty sure that is my only option right now. You casters might have better luck crippling him.

I've got you a flank and a bless all I can do after that is Sun Metal and healing.


Male Human Sorcerer

I could burn it I suppose.

Female oni-spawn tiefling cleric (fiendish vessel) of Szuriel 1/unchained monk 1

Hello again everyone,

I am back from the CON - was really an interesting one, as we do not usually have events with this dimension over here.

And man, it was CRAZY fun running the multi-table Siege of the Diamond City - I had never done anything similar, it was quite unique. Won't comment it any further so as not to spoiler it for the ones that haven't played it.

Anyways, I'm BACK! :D


Male Human Ranger/5

Sorry to say that I no longer have time for online campaigns and will have to leave you at this point. I will still be dropping into the forums from time to time, so drop me a line when you can.


Female oni-spawn tiefling cleric (fiendish vessel) of Szuriel 1/unchained monk 1

It's a shame to hear that Alaeron.

I guess RL is what it is, and sometimes just needs one to dedicate more attention to it - I hope everything is fine.

Take care, and see you around.


Male Human Swashbuckler 5 / Slayer 5

Sorry to hear you go Alaeron.


Female oni-spawn tiefling cleric (fiendish vessel) of Szuriel 1/unchained monk 1

I'll be bluntly honest guys - I am kinda lost here - I would suggest we leave as of now from the Tower, but I really cannot be sure about a couple of things:

- I am not 100% sure if the amulet we have is THE Amulet;
- I am not 100% sure of what is up with the shield and amulet fusion - in spite of being fused, can they be distinguished?
- I am not 100% sure about what's up with the map on the shield;
- I am not sure of what has happened with the book and Alaeron - was it a way to remove him from the game? I don't want to have Tiriael taking a look and PUFF!
- His gear is there, can we take it?

So... SInce I want to take this one forward, would it be acceptable to have some OOC clarifications? ;)


1) Yes you found THE Amulet.
2) The fusion is important and they can be distinguished.
3) The map is what the mural on the wall transformed into.
4) In a way, yes it was. However, it was something him and I agreed on. I gave him the option to escort the Ant Ambassador, get an urgent summons from his father, or disappear under mysterious circumstances.
5) Yes, his gear is up for grabs.

And to satisfy my curiosity what is your plan with the device that started the Ant/Spider War?

Any other questions while we're on the subject? I'd be happy to answer as best I can without divulging too much.

All I know is terra is bored in here. books really don't do much for her.

Toph moment here


Male Human Sorcerer

I'm just sad that we can't loot any more because of what happened to whats-his-face.

Sort of forgot about them after we got the amulet. Bigger and better things an all that. I say turning it off or destroying the thing would be for the best.


Male Human Swashbuckler 5 / Slayer 5

I'm for letting it run for now until we can get a specialist to look at it.


Male Human Swashbuckler 5 / Slayer 5

Alright, I've got no idea what that phrase is, I've checked back over the texts that we did run across here and did not find any likely candidates. So here is my proposed plan of action.

I'm going to start taking twenties to search the room systematically. I would like the aid of someone with detect magic to prevent him from setting off another spell/trap/whatever got Alaeron. If that fails Piers is going to try and reactivate the time portal book trap under more controlled circumstances in order to try to suss out the phrase from the past.

You got it, +12 search and a detect magic as requested.

As you browsed the diagram and book, you realize the writings were in Ancient Script. The diagram showed the trapdoor in the second floor led to the fourth floor, and the one under the ground floor led to the third. The fourth floor was actually the entire top half of the tower.

So, I just completely missed this the first time through but there is an entire floor we haven't explored.

Posted as my ranger there.... oops. All better now that i remembered who im suppose to be.


So.......everyone still on board with this or should I shut it down?


Male Human Sorcerer

Very much still on board, just not certain how to respond. Sudden arbitrary death doesn't fit well with Doran.

Plus, last message was something I say we do; finish exploring that last floor.


To be fair, he isn't dead.


Female oni-spawn tiefling cleric (fiendish vessel) of Szuriel 1/unchained monk 1

Still here. I also thought we were going to follow Piers suggestion and explore the last floor.


Female | HP: 44/61 (8 non-lethal) | AC: 22 (17 Tch, 17 Fl) | CMB: +5, CMD: 20 | F: +12, R: +9, W: +4 | Init: +4 | Perc: +8 | Speed 35ft | Active conditions: Flesh of Stone (DR 4/adamantine) | current burn: 2 / 8 | Conditions: none

there just isnt much terra could offer

i thought we were going to the last floor also

Also here. Just kind of ran out of ideas.


Male Human Swashbuckler 5 / Slayer 5

I'm still game.


Whew, okay then, I was getting worried. So who's taking point and making the suggestion to move to the hidden floor.

Also, anyone want a hint on the map script?


Female | HP: 44/61 (8 non-lethal) | AC: 22 (17 Tch, 17 Fl) | CMB: +5, CMD: 20 | F: +12, R: +9, W: +4 | Init: +4 | Perc: +8 | Speed 35ft | Active conditions: Flesh of Stone (DR 4/adamantine) | current burn: 2 / 8 | Conditions: none

a hint would be nice since we all are at a loss


Re-read it and think Fellowship of the Ring.


Male Human Sorcerer

Coincidentally, Doran is feeling peckish for some melon...

Unless it's something obvious like saying what is written on the map out loud then I don't have a clue.


Female oni-spawn tiefling cleric (fiendish vessel) of Szuriel 1/unchained monk 1

Doran, I just realized you wanted Alaeron's Belt of Dexterity - go ahead and take it ;)

I am still trying to wrap my head around this: "If you're reading this, than Ulric is dead and the Amulets are needed once more. By defeating the First Guardian, you have proven your worth and by speaking the correct phrase, you will the locations of the others."

Fellowship of the Ring so... The Lurker in the Water, I would say would be the equivalent to the first guardian - we've defeated that one so... "Speaking the correct phrase, you will the location of the others." - it looks like the word "find" is missing or not? [Could be a typo :D]


Yeah, that's a typo. Sorry.


Male Human Swashbuckler 5 / Slayer 5

I already tried 'Friends Remember' which got us inside this tower. If it is as blinding obvious as FotR, I could rattle off a bunch of variations of 'Show Me' in Ancient Script.


Female oni-spawn tiefling cleric (fiendish vessel) of Szuriel 1/unchained monk 1

Do it!!

But I want to take the chest, and all the books it can carry :D


Which would be all of them.


Female oni-spawn tiefling cleric (fiendish vessel) of Szuriel 1/unchained monk 1

Great!

And I guess we need another clue :D


Look closely at 'Speaking the correct phrase.'
