Falcon's Hallow (Inactive)

Game Master Hokina

Tsk tsk Ford. Stealing outside the borders of the town where I have no jurisdiction! Just curious, are you one of the "It belongs in a museum!"types?

And while Zova is infiltrating their ranks and inner sanctums, I can provide the distraction by restoring this forge to working order and giving the Hollow another resource! Yeah, it only occurred to me that if I can get this place restored, we could have a solid forge going on... and it would be a shame if some of the consortium's axes suddenly started going missing...

So no, Zova, you aren't thinking too far ahead. Ford's doing similar. :P He had only planned to arrive and study the ruins, but he's starting to see that he might be needed more than he realized.

If the lumber lords are just as smarmy as their overseers (like the one we met earlier), Ford will be happy to see them taken down. He does NOT fancy himself a leader type at all, much less any sort of business man (he'd rather do the work himself, because what you produce is your baby, and pride at a job well done is good). At the same time, someone's got to stand up and do hard work.

Ford might storm the lumber lord compounds if pushed to extremes, but if he can avoid violence, he'd prefer. He's more of a scholar/thinker/craftsman than a warrior. I know from a player standpoint he will try to reason with the kobolds found around here (spoilers, if the follow-up module didn't give it away, Falcon's Hollow has kobolds around). He's never understood why dwarves and kobolds didn't get along better - both seem to breed excellent craftsmen, so it seems logical that they'd work well together, at the least.

Tsk tsk Ford. Stealing outside the borders of the town where I have no jurisdiction! Just curious, are you one of the "It belongs in a museum!"types?

...to a degree. Ford's got an eye for gemstones, since he sees great crafting potential in them. The statuettes are more for his personal research (he's like if Dr. Jones was an ACTUAL archeologist). It's how he learned his Runeforging ability - delving through books. Anything that he can preserve, he'd like to try.

Plus, Ulizima's obviously not around anymore... and if that Irrisen woman if looking for her, she's probably done the smart thing and gone into hiding. And if she left them behind, she must not have needed them. If she seemed like she might be coming back, Ford would've likely left them alone. (Heck, if he could've, he might have come back to retrieve that cauldron and restored it.)

Personally as a lawful type, I would probably be prone to leaking information to the eagle knights, as that would be under their jurisdiction. In the meanwhile, I wonder if the sheriff would allow me to actually go undercover. If I prove myself resourceful, I might be able to play the part of the corrupt guard, and gain information that way. Pretend to start siding with them so that we could leak it to the eagle knigts bit by bit until they finally have enough to bring the entire organization down.

Meanwhile, I really like your plan Ford. get things up and runnimg with the forge so that the local economy could survive without the Consortium. As Abadar IS the god of trade and mercantilism along with laws, I could uh... certainly help whip things into shape once my operation is complete. I could imagine having an ACTUAL election and puttimg someone levelheaded in charge; the Sheriff seems like a good choice, or hey, even Alleran or Hound (the crippled people in town would probably sympathize with his Curse, after all, since it is physical in nature, they could relate)

I wouldn't even mind putting in some of my (personal) resources to fix up the town. Hell, with the average amount of gold an adventurer makes in their life, we could probably start up our own Lumber Company. :3

As I wrote my last ingame post, the thought struck me how much that glove is like a shield. I have a buckler that I purchased in character creation. Would it be okay to describe the falconer's glove as something a little heavier/armoured and use it as the buckler? It would only be for fluff and mechanically no different for AC/ASP/ACP purposes. The only thing I would view different about it is that I feel it would be necessary to remove it to effectively use my bow.

I'm just going to leave this here... I think even though I'm not a Paladin, this really ought to be my code of conduct:

EDIT: Changed my avatar to that of an ACTUAL Hellknight.

Alleran: Fine with me.

I meant to post this before combat but forgot to push the "submit post" button a few hours ago.
At this point the party is at level 2. Don't gain HP or spells till you rest, but gain all the rest (BAB, skills, class abilities,..).

Oh cool! That means I've got an extra rune to play with (probably Glowglyph, but still!) Also, now my runes last twice as long. Woo!

Darn it! XD To longer I go without retraining, the more expensive it becomes!

I may be the only person in the world sad about a level up.

EDIT: On the bright side, I do have my awesome level 2 abilities...

EDIT 2: I know we shouldn't add it yet, but do we roll for HP or use the 1/2 HD+1 method?

Sorry I'm taking so long, got home from out of town work and had to work on moving. Gonna catch up and have a post up soon.

I forgot to mention, I will actually be out for much of today and the weekend. I should be back on by Sunday evening, but until then, feel free to bot me.

Just assume I take point and attack anything I can with my morningstar in both hands. If possible, I'd save my Lead Blades spell and use my Potion of CLW to restore health, but if dire straights arise, I'll gladly give up the spell to help someone or myself to their feet.

Oh god no... I just realized Falcon's Hollow is the same town Carnival of Tears is set... that is... scary from a long term perspective.

As i haven't read alot of adventures outside of outside of APs I wouldn't haven known that. So are you saying we have multiple option for adventure here?

Plus not saying its a bad thing but I find it that we gained a level pretty fast, am i wrong?

It depends on what the GM wants to do. As for the level thing, yeah, I thought that was pretty quick myself.

We might have gotten more XP than normal, since we faced more challenges than I recall for this module. One thing I do recall is in the original (I think), you only face 1 of the wyrms. We defeated 2 (barely, but it counts!) We also had more foes to challenge at the river, and I KNOW that winter witch wasn't in the original, so we might have overcome more difficulties than normal.

Also, yes, Carnival of Tears takes place in the Hollow, and... that module. Seriously, everything about that book is terrifying. Though, if I recall right, it involves snow creatures wreaking havoc on the town... and we DID meet a powerful Irrisen caster earlier...

*Starts crying* I never did get to play it, but my GM... he showed me parts of that book that made me curl up into a ball and want to just... just... lets not give spoilers to anyone who doesn't know about it but HAH! I have no idea how that got past development. It seriously is up there with Hook Mountain Massacre if not even worse ... thougb in hindsight it probably was worse than HMM.

Whats wrong with HMM, haven't played that one... To be honest I;'m seriously lacking in Module play. Though I'm starting to get involved with society.

Well, you know those cute chibi goblins that paizo fans love? Well lets just say that eating someone's face in front of their kids is not exactly child friendly. And trolls? Well lets just say they are worthy of their chaotic evil alignment... I'm nit going to go further than that...

As for Alleran, does anyone else feel he is the only sane person in the group? XD We have Judge Dredd meets an undercover cop, an altruistic version of Indiana Jones, a battle fiend... and the person trying to talk sense into everyone.

And back in action!

Also, yay, looks like we won!

Hey, I'm going to be out today. Family matters and the like.

No worries, Zova. We won't cause too much trouble while you're gone.

Hey Internet is working, for the win!!!

Alright, I'm back. Lets see what I missed.

I probably should've asked yesterday, but it only just dawned on me that I may be metagaming slightly with my explanation of Droskar. Is it okay that Ford knows so much about him? I know there isn't much to know, I just grabbed a quick file on Golarion gods, found him and paraphrased most of it, but I likely should have asked before info dumping like that.

Short version is basically "Evil cursed student of Torag", but still.

I was about to dump info on Abadar, and that's solely because he is my god. I've gotten into a bad habit in PFS of just dumping information about my god whenever I play a Cleric/Inquisitor/Paladin, even though my Pally has no ranks in religion... because it is my freaking god. XD I don't thank a Paladin of Saranrae needs a religion check to recognize her symbol, especially when she is WEARING said symbol right on her armor.

I feel the same, I'm not in that same boat when it comes to religion in this game since I'm an Oracle. But a divine player should know the basics + of their diety

I vote altar. What about all of you?

ICly, yeah, Ford thinks the altar would make a good spot. It should be easy to defend in case of unforeseen danger coming to gobble them up, and make a good base of operations to orient things from.

Alter sounds good, Sorry for the slow posting I'm still in the middle of moving. Should puck up soon

If we're separated?! Burn the witch! He's implying that we will split the party even by no fault of our own!

EDIT: Plus he's contaminating a crime scene. Oh the horror!

Hope you don't mind the semi-cinematic pose of mine. Also, good thing I chose Glowglyph as my 2nd level rune!

I actually don't think it will have any effect seeing as it is a darkness spell... on the other hand we can cover the rocks that were dropped on the ground... I would, but I don't have have spellcraft trained but you DID notice this happening.

Yea. the Light spell is to low level to counter Darkness, but if you can cover the stones with darkness on them, a light spell would work again.

Oh... well, that's embarassing... and anti-climatic. Ah, it's cool. I'm gonna dismiss it in a flash anyways. Also, I clearly mis-read it since it shines like a torch, not under the light spell (not that it makes a difference).

SO, I'm just standing in darkness, yelling like a nimrod about the forge.

But you sound bloody epic while doing so ;)

EDIT: DARN IT! I knew I forgot something while choosing my skills. I can't help with the business aspect of the forge without either Profession Barrister or Profession Merchant... but which one should I take?
...
Well, I have a shitton of skillpoints. Why not both?!

You know, I really wanted to write a journal of everything we've fought, and their weaknesses. Almost like a hitchhikers guide to the wilderness... but I can't identify anything.

Don't feel bad. Alleran keeps missing tracks and is also unable to identify most things. The only consolation thus far is that as the least divine character in the group he managed to identify the altar as Torag when the priest of Torag missed it on a DC 10.

You know... that is a good point really.

And I've had to make one knowledge check so far and I'm 1/1.

So, what is the formula for total HP as we level up? I ask because this CLW spell overshot the original 10 HP that I had at first level. Should we roll or take the 1/2 HD + 1 method?

1/2 HD + 1.

Dang, just made a large post with the description of the scroll (casted read magic). And Internet went down before I realized it and now the post is lost. Work has go me in a model with terrible Internet I'll try to post when I can.

Control + C

Yeah that's the plan from now on.

Is it going to be a running thing with Ford breaking doors? :)

I'm personally just watching at this point to see what jumps out to eat Ford XD

Lol me too

Yeah. By the end of this adventure, I shall be Ford Benett, Scourge of Doors Everywhere.

That, or the Supreme Inquisi-door.

oooo... I like the second option.

I can see myself walking into a court room and hearing "All rise for the honorable Supreme Inquisi-door." That or on the deck of a star destroyer waiting for my commanding officer.

Are we waiting on a player?
