Fevered Dreams

Game Master JonGarrett

Hi all. I was dumb and split Gatorade on my laptop. It's in for repairs until next week. So I won't be able to effectively post until then. Sorry.

Any guidance, Jon? I'm not sure what else we can try.

Well, there's a lot of sections of the map you guys haven't explored. There are a few solutions scattered around, and I personally feel you'll enjoy what I've done with the basement.

You guys have several of the tools needed for one solution too - the two beings being a needle, ad Jennifer's new power being the thread - but there is something missing.

There's also whatever you guys can think of, of course. Anything that sounds fun could do it, and I'll give you a list of what you need to do. Wanna carve runes of Binding to shore things together, making the spots for the thread to go? Arcana could you where! Wanna punch reality so hard it breaks through to a new reality? Time to go polish of the Delta Green rules! Etc, etc.

No worries Joseph, blowing up your laptop is something we all do. I'm impressed it can even be repaired. I usually only manage to keep them alive long enough to get my important data off.

Sorry, my laptop is possessed by actual demons, it seems. The power button stopped working, but only when Windows has loaded. Until Windows is loaded you can turn it on and off fine. But it means it won't turn on again. We have temporarily made it turn on when the lid opens.

OK, so, is Zaoth and Friends avoiding the silver metallic tide for now, and if so where are you exploring first?

Good luck getting your computer working well again... that sounds really frustrating.

Ross, we're just planning your character's future. Hope that's cool, bro.

Haha, cool with me. I've got some plans as well. I won't say what they are, but I've got them.

All I'll say is I've left Zaoth's past unclear for a reason.

Sounds like a plot hook folks might wanna explore. Maybe I'll add 'personal story roulette' to the next job offer, for any who fancy doing something with a character in more depth.

I'll give Joseph until tomorrow then bot, as I'd really like to pick up the pace again.

I’d be interested in doing some character exploration like Jennifer had this time around.

Sounds good.

OK, my apologies for the long quiet. I've been tired and messed up my rotator cuff, so my RP energy was at an all time low. I'm a little more energised now, however.

Since things have been quiet I need to check: whose still around and who wishes to continue?

Still here.

Still here and still interested!

Still here as well, though also confused about how to proceed.

Still here!

OK, good. I think I know how to keep things going, so I'll post later.

Just a quick note that I'm taking my family camping Sunday through Tuesday, and I won't be checking in. Feel free to bot me.

There is indeed more text. It's a choice between preparing for the fight (and possibly getting caught off guard) and reading it.

My character already made that choice once, but if you are hinting that I need to make another blind decision, then I already posted it. Just another delay, and she is in a position of even more readiness, but that text is the only thing that seems like it will explain any of this. Reading that is her priority.

... If she dies as a result, but finally understands--I consider that a totally worthwhile trade-off. She was going to die in the collapsing dimension anyway, but now she can die less confused. :)

I'm taking my family on a roadtrip, and I'll be back on Wednesday. Feel free to bot me.

Howdy folks, starting tomorrow I'll be in a little beach town in Oaxaca for some serious chillin' out time, returning on the 9th of January. I may be able to squeeze a post in here and there, but signal/wifi is likely to be spotty at best.

Jon, still with us?

I am, yes. If folks wanna continue I'm happy to do so.

- Reincarnate as a random creature. Roll 1d100.

Starts chanting at the gaming table: "Random Creature! Random Creature! Random Creature!"

Oh my gosh, yes. It's not even a remotely hard decision!

1d100 ⇒ 96

I forgot that I changed Jennifer's alias image, and I alarmed myself.

Yeah, that happens.

The plinths as in the steles in the room where we fought the fey?

Yup.

Alright, let's see.

1st - happy birthday Me! Guess you guys get to enjoy a present too, so let's level up.

2nd - Do we wanna grab additional people?

And 3rd - I'll be posting the next batch of jobs tomorrow. I know Ross has some stuff they'd like incorporated into the next storyline, does anyone else have any requests?

1st - WOOHOO! I can do that tomorrow!

2nd - Maybe. Interested to hear how the others feel.

3rd - OOC, this adventure, and a later discussion with Valda, Joseph has been convinced to put up stakes in Fever. I'd like to figure out what Joseph will do for a living here in town, meet some more locals, and slowly acclimate to the strangest town Joseph has every seen.

Alright, let's see.

HBD, JG!

2nd - Do we wanna grab additional people?

Who do we currently have, now? Me, Median, Joseph, and Ross? I'm fine as is, or if we get another person.

We've done a lot with Jennifer this adventure, so I'd like to roll with her as is before we focus on her too much. I'm happy to let the others have fun/terrible things happen to them.

Happy birthday! I’ll get my leveling done today. Taking my first level in wraith!

I’d be interested to try to pick up one, maybe two more. Some solid healing could be really helpful.

Other than what I PM’ed you about, there’s nothing too specific I’m looking for out of the next round of jobs.

I am probably going to need the weekend to get to the level up, sorry. Just busy... but happy birthday! :)

Same for me.

No worries, no rush.

Here's my to-do list:

1. As per reincarnate, remove Jennifer's human ability modifiers. I'm going with the assumption that this was strength (because bloodrager), but I don't honestly remember.
2. As per reincarnate, add 4 to strength (because orc). So effectively ignore #1 and add 2 strength.
3. As per reincarnate, apply two permanent negative levels. These can still be removed with the right magic. Can Jennifer call in her favor with the curator for this, or would that be a waste of the favor?
4. Level up (because birthday).

I'll do my best to get this done this weekend, but if Jon is forbidding us from rushing, then I'm not going to rush.

You also have #5 - decide how to deal with your new and interesting appearance. But Valda will happily help get rid of the negative levels.

I think I figured that out last week. And thanks!

Alrighty, Ross is updated!

Awesome! And Paizo kindly ate my offerings, so I'll repost your potential jobs when I get back on tonight.

My character is updated as well, although I probably forgot something as usual. :) Good enough for now though.

Smite Rival (Su): Once per day, a godling can call focus his internal divine power to strike down those who dare oppose him. As a swift action, the godling chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target has dealt damage to the godling within the past 24 hours, the godling adds his Constitution bonus (if any) to his attack rolls and adds his godling level to all damage rolls made against the target of his smite. The smite rival effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the godling rests and regains his use of this ability.

Feat Persuasive

Alright, here are your choices of tasks this time.

The Vengeful Dead

Something weird is happening. People are being murdered. So far three people are dead, all in different ways. Sadly, that's not so unusual. The fact that the dead people are now missing and have been spotted around town at night is a much bigger issue.

Witness Me!

A few months ago some of you were involved in the capture of a gunslinger. Something's happened, and he's agreed to testify against the people who employed him. But he has a few conditions for his information. It's time for a road trip to get what he needs done.

Unbloodied Mary

A preacher has come to town, telling everyone that he has with him a sin eater, someone who will take your life's mistakes on themselves and let you enter the next life pure, unsullied, clean. But rumour has it the cost is a hell of a lot more than simple money.

Jennifer is updated.

Jon, did we get paid for this museum job, or anything? I know we got lifetime memberships and we can call in a favor, but the ability to buy some consumable healing potions and buffs would be nice (says the player who's character just died).

If Jennifer was involved in arresting the Gunslinger, she'd be interested in that, but I think I was playing Remington for that adventure. That was the Sword of Fever adventure, right? If so, I don't think any of the other players from that adventure are still around.

My vote is for The Vengeful Dead.

I'll go ahead and second Vengeful Dead. Sounds like a good one.

Pffffffft, money. Since when have we kept track of that here?

But it does seem like you guys could do with a bit of extra gear at this point, given my casual murder and plan to do it again. The templates you guys are packing has made up for it, somewhat, but...yeah. We'll say you got paid in 5000gp worth of gear apiece for the job since Valda wants you to continue to not die.

And yeah, it was the sword of Fever, so it would have been Remington.

Vengeful Dead sounds good.

The Vengeful Dead it shall be then. I'll drag an introductory post later today, work willing, or tomorrow afternoon if it isn't.

Loving the chase scene. :)
