Very sorry about this but life has gotten in the way of my enjoyment of these games and I will need to withdraw from all my play by posts.
As we should all know there were some issues with Paizo this weekend. I want you to go back through and make sure that your posts got up. If not re-post them. I am ready to go strong this week and hope to advance all plot lines exponentially by the end of the week.
Make it real, make it fun, make it real fun!
Sorry to hear that Zee, if you do get back on. Send us a message or just jump back in!
i am ready dm....
Pretty sure my last post made it.
Rwady to rock!
Feel free to post your actions, Jake and Quantos. Some suggestions:
Go do some scouting waiting for HIM.
Stay with Alex and the Drow to see the captain.
Get some information from the crew. (If I have not given you information for something like this please tell me.)
Go check out the armory of this new ship.
Go check out the galley of this new ship.
GM I'm happy for the Alex captain talk to be botted to move things along, i
They sit and talk etc. so that the others don't get bogged down waiting on one PC
I don't want to be seen as grand standing, just wish to move things v Alex so others can have fun with him and more important game/story events
Ok I'm quitting this game, I am Dyslexic, a fact I have had to deal with all my life. I'm used to things being said and I don't mind having my spelling checked on OCC or PM, but the to words sound the same, only in text form would you know they where spelled wrong, and then having yet another GM PC point this out, just tuck all the fun away from me in this game.
GM please remove my PC and Player name from the game list,
Have fun fellow players, bye.
Sorry. I guess I struck a nerve. :S
I didn't mean to.
I am waiting on the other players to state their actions before the conversation moves on any more.
Cil, Jake and Quantos, you are the only active players now. So waiting on you.
Jake it looks like we will be assisting you on the check... +4. :)

i could use the wand of shield if no one needs / wants it.
really just the scrollcase is all Quantos would be interested in, looks like.
Sorry guys I have been out of it with, obviously a bout of depression, my last grandparent just passed away, and just being busy.
I hope to be active each day, as I have in the past.
Thar is now the resident cook and mount watcher. He will heal us when we retreat to him.
great :)
At least until I can find a replacement!
Anybody know someone who might want to join our merry game?
Posting in the discussion as requested. There will be a crudely made lean to that sits vacant near the clearing. Between the lean to and the clearing lies a well worn and beaten path that leads around a large tree.
Hello. :) I just wanted to leave a paw print here for now. I created the character at level 3, I hope that's alright. Once I am at home (I am at work right now) I'll find some equipment for the character, write a physical description and read up on the gameplay.
Hrrmmmm. Tanira's background story ends with her being in the Eldeen Reaches and on her way to Stormhome. If she has to be on Xen'drik it seems likely that she did reach Stormhome and was made "an offer that she cannot refuse"* by Don d'Lyrandar to go there. I'd say she was given the permission to call herself Lyrandar... for now. They didn't want to cast anyone who bears the Mark of Storm out without a good reason but they were uncomfortable with her being a witch, pagan and on top if it from the Eldeen Reaches, so potentially a rebel against the Kingdom of Aundair. Since she's out of Khorvair she can't do much harm to the house anyway.
Sounds good.
Charles and Tanira please tell me where you are and be prepared to interact in gameplay! You can PM me or just post it here.
I will be sitting at my tree ready to look up in surprise, seeing someone new in the clearing (as I probably wont notice them approach their stealth vs. my perception)
I've calculated through equipment and picked up some additional scrolls to learn spells from. What I wonder is: Can I take ten on a spellcraft check to learn a spell from a scroll? That of course would be an automatic success, but I don't see anything in the rules that speaks against it...
I suppose we are wherever you want us to be... I am not familiar with the current setup and locations of the game. Based on the intro dialogue Tanira would have looked for something pagan, druidic or so and tried to commune with the spirits of the place.
Yes Tanira that would work. As long as you have the time you may take a 10. Though in game, if people start making too many 10 checks, threats will pop up more regularly.
I will have Tanira off to the side at one of the druidic totems.
Charles has been here for about two decades now, Tanira did you want to say you have been here for about a month?
I was going to simply use the scrolls I bought as additional spells my familiar knows at the start of the game.
A week might be better...
I've been struggling severly with choosing a patron theme for Tanira.
I'd like something that relates to the mark of storm. Elements and Winter sound nice. Elements also adds spells with a lot of bang to the witch's spell list including Fireball. Winter is not quite as useful, starts out with "Unshakeable Chill" from ultimate magic which is... not so good.
Enchantment makes sense in so far as I chose a Spell Focus on enchantment. However, most of the spells or on the witch spell list anyway and I certainly won't be using spells like "geas" a lot.
Finally something a bit more romantic, such as Moon or Stars would nice as well. The latter might make a certain degree of sence because it may be somehow related to the Syberis belt...
Anyway, I must sort my spells again, because Hero Labs seems to have some bugs there. If you select a patron theme it makes your grade 2 spell available at level 1 as a grade 1 spell. It should be simply a grade 2 spell which you automatically know and are added to your spell list.
EDIT: Wait.. spells are added at every second level of the character. In some cases it adds grade 2 spells, though which you cannot technically use on level 2, I suppose that's why it treats some grade 2 spells as grade 1 spells.
a good theme to look at might be the children of winter if you want something strictly elemental.
however, given your apparent knowledge of planes, i'd look more towards the Planar Shepherds.
Tanira doesn't really know anything about the planes; that's why she has no idea where the Quori might be coming from. When she says "not from this world" the best guess she has is Khyber...
And I suppose everyone has at least some kind of superstitious belief regarding the underworld.
Ah I thought you were communicating across planes or something
The term "Khoravar" is what half-elves use to refer to themselves, for obvious reasons. They are an own, proud race and do not consider themselves half anything. It means Children of Khorvair, since opposed to the humans and elves which originally came from different continents, they came to existence out of the union of the two on Khorvair. That's Knowledge Local DC 15 to know in-character. See Player's Guide to Eberron page 72.
I hope you're not waiting on input from me. Other than a thank you for the salt to Sly Tanira doesn't really have anything to say right now.
i'm also here. Quantos doesnt really know much about the sword either so he is following along, helping as he can with the divination with his objects.
Well, I am not sure whether there is that much more to discern there. Tanira offered to have a look at it, anyhow. What I'd be doing is to choose an altar and try to see whether the sword somehow reacts to it if it touches it...
If I understand the ritual correctly it aligns the sword with a different deity; so it doesn't really matter which you choose. We may have to have a closer look at the ritual as well before we perform it (I understand it's some kind of scroll in rule terms, which means it will likely be exhausted once used). Tanira could do that, using knowledge arcana, read magic and spellcraft for examination.
I am a bit at a loss what goes on here. As far as I know we were still at the edge of the clearing were we met - the only one who left was myself to do some cooking.
And how does read a scroll case? You mean you opened it, took a scroll out and read that?
What I've been waiting for all the time is for Saronis to just stop standing around and use the sword to interact with any one altar, including that of the silver flame...
I was waiting for a divine individual to read the scrollcase for that is what I was told to do.
being a tiefling would i have a dragon mark?
Not in your backstory no dragon mark for you. There will be a chance later to gain one.
it is currently 11pm on Thursday where I am.
I'm going to sleep now, and tomorrow I am going to work early and working straight through 36hrs or so. I may be in in the mean time, but it is not a certainty.
I will be back on about 42 hours from this post.
Please "bot" me as necessary.
Will do Quantos/Tenro
Hello to all.
i will be away for a mountain vacation until the 31 with Zero internet connection.
Please Bot me as appropriate.
I will be available today if you have a question tough.
Sorry for my inactivity just been really busy with family and friends, let alone work and preparing for a new test. I should be active until Thursday afternoon. Then off to ComicCon for the weekend. I will be back Monday bright and bushytailed!
Hello to all,
I am back from my trip so give me a day or two to catch up with the post in this game and the others i play in...
Sorry for my absence everyone, there has been much piling on my plate and I hope to be able to daily keep up on the game again.
Who is Aukan?
You have not met him. He stayed with the mounts and the absentee cleric. Honestly this is the first you have heard of him.
You could ask now that the Drow has left the group to prepare themselves.
Sorry guys, I have been getting distracted with work and other things. I forgot to come back to you. Let's see if I can make more sense of what is going on.
Tanira's obscuring mist has a 20 foot radius, but since she did not say where it was I assumed in the midst of the enemies. With the realization that it is centered on her not much has changed, except that the heroes are in the mist and the enemies are out of it...
I cannot edit the map right now but if one of you want to go for it.
Tanira I put you besides Quantos, because otherwise you would be off the map. You can be behind him and you may move yourself.
Please PM when you see this post and tell me if you have followed my directions of the needed information of vital and skills.
I will update the map later when I have access to my personal laptop. Busy day today, so it wont be until this evening.
I might have access to the map tonight. Quantos you may move yourself to your intended target, understand the gnolls are in the tent.
Cil please put an indicator on the map with the proper radius of the spell. Also what is the DC to save for your web ability.
