Don't worry if this works it will be entertaining...if it doesn't work it will be really "entertaining".
Your death will be painful and humiliating.
And I can calmly predict that you will, one become a great paragon of Law and Good, two you will marry a bright, loving NG blonde elven druid who worships the sun and sunflowers and three you will be welcomed into heaven with a triumphant march of goodly outsiders.
Viluki do you have any ranks in "Knowledge (Common f%%%ing sense)" ?
I was unaware that was a knowledge skill, besides I have not lept out of the frying pan and into the fire just yet...
So, let's stop for a second.
Viluki is on death's door.
Didn't heal, and we're pretty sure he used vanish one extra time today.
The fletchlings will find him and kill him if we don't do it first.
I just rolled a nat 20 Intimidation.
He's botched the game twice, so far, when it was otherwise going well.
So what do we do here, as a group? I was just gonna overhand my scythe into his spine, but that'd be rude to do without team consent.
The dwarf will not hear of it.
I can offer a replacement, character not a rogue but one who can perform the job of being a trap monkey...and I can tie him into this with ease. Afterall when you've set up a criminal network in a faraway city you tend to attract enemies...this one can fulfill the role Kast should have filled...assuming you can act as a good face.....
Viluki. Let's stop for a second.
Your character. Lawful neutral.
= Wanted to take over the city.
= Tried to get me to help.
= Caused wanton rioting in the first 20 posts.
= Nearly died in the first 30.
= universally hated.
= had awful choices of disguises.
he was a charlatan with what I believe was a great diplomacy/bluff/intimidate, etc, etc, and was truly a lovely character. You were given free reign on your rogue talents because your character's flavor is legitimately wonderful, played well.
However, you're choices thus far have been, team-wise, destructive and problematic.
Technically out of the 4 of us, our characters consider you more of a nuisance so far, hence the reason shadrick wants to see you knocked out and peeled.
While I do believe that the character itself is lovely, your decision making skills are lackluster, and you need more time on the forums.
If this guy dies, I doubt you'll be back.
other problems include =
= Health management (We're pretty sure your still unconcious at Luciens)
= Character sheet management (another problem)
= item management
= misleading alignment (You're probably NE or LE)
= You had so much, and you screwed up so badly.
= You tried to steer the story, such as reappearing (in 6 seconds) in a fletchling's house. You need to let things resolve, such as vlasko's fairy fire.
just kill him then and be done with it then, and I think I shall evade LN alignment for eternity. CN safer....
Okay, before this goes on any further, I'm voicing my opinion here.
Viluki, we're well into the game, and you're all over the place. I feel, you should try to learn the pathfinder system better, and learn from your teammate's posts.
I can tell that you're new, and rather lazy. So I'm going to break it down here.
If you're going to be involved with a pbp, or any other tabletop rpg, a certain amount of dedication's needed on the player - ie:
-
I had to ask you repeatedly for AC, HP and Skill rank values.
-
You weren't aware of how your character's mechanics worked, and used them improperly (Major Magic), (Rumormonger)
-
Alot of your posts lacked any definition and content - mostly were quick half minded responses.
While Kast has an awesome concept, his life was forfeited for pissing off the fetchlings and inciting a race war.
I've no interest in continuing your participation with this pbp.
With that being said, thank you for playing the Midnight Mirror .
We never visit or communicate on each others threads kk? As I doubt either of us likes the other, after this debacle.
I'm hoping you guys can see why I would react with hostile intent almost immediately, but at the same time the fetchlings ripping this guy apart is like... pretty off the radar. I'm not sure if Nikola is going to want to try to help these people, but at the same time, I don't know if it was Kast or who that person even was.
Literally, paint the scene.
We've just left a hanging and are in the seedy part of town when a very, very brightly colored clown approaches us. He talks to us directly despite our dislike, gets hit with a rock and then disappears within the span of a second.
Invisibility is a hostile move. If I was Nikola and I had been through the things he's been-- he's level three, and he's been part of a freedom network for years-- I would have jaw-dropped and expected an assassin-classed character or to immediately be sucker-punched by someone and possibly even killed. More over? Good alignment. He'd also expect this person to maybe even try to kill the fetchlings we saved, or at least one of them. That person needs to not be invisible, now.
The fact that I could do it with my familiar? Oh, how sweet it was. Int 7 war weasel danced you to the gates of hell. yesss
At the same time? I feel like Nikola wouldn't want this guy to die or get hung or something-- at least, not right now, not publically. That'd make things worse. I want to take him out into the woods and interrogate him and figure out who the hell he is. If he was the guy trying to instigate a riot at the gallows, he's probably part of some greater conspiracy-- or at least that's what Nikola thinks. It's important to ask him that.
If he's just a clown? Well... sorry, dude. Get out of here. Sorry for ruining your life.
If he's just a dude who rolled into town who was trying to start stuff for no reason then I'm pretty much quoting Duboris here-- What? But now with Viluki kind of excised from the PbP, I guess that's up to Cy.
I made my entire post and nat-20'd bluff before I even checked the discussion thread to see what was up, and I regret it. I put my entire post in a spoiler because I'm not even certain if it's happening. I'll let Cy decide as far as that goes where to take the Kast story. If you want me to not even act on it because it's essentially done except for a background note? Cool. If you feel like you could repurpose it as part of the game? Cool. I'm down with either.
Wow. I go to the archery banquet last night and the world turns on its head here.
Golf clap for FMC. Well put and firmly handled.
Duboris, one line in my last in-game post is just for your amusement.
"Mean well" he says. "They'd help." he says.
So, in the wake of Viluki's removal, I do have a contingency plan for such occassion.
A dear friend and proponent of pathfinder will be joining us soon.
Sounds good.
Lemme guess. Fetchling?
....maybe
You kind of hinted at it in your super-post.
I do love a surprise.
Welcome, Helio. An oracle of Zon Kuthon, eh? It should be interesting to see how everyone gets on.
Well, the dwarf may get torn apart here. ^&**%##$%@!#*& Paladin's code.
I wish he had that whip right now. It's an attention getter.
At the very least they're not going to kill you. You crit a diplomacy roll.
Just wait til you see my combat rolls. They will more than average that out.
In all my years of playing Pathfinder, what has happened in this adventure alone is by far, the most epic way of dealing with a crowd.
Diplomizing the crap out of a murderous crowd.
And to think...the adventure isn't even half-way over!
Oh man, just oh man. So good.
Just got lucky. Fearn could as easily have been curbstomped and in serious need of rescuing.

They trade information handily, including a faux-introduction of their newest acquaintance. "This young miss is fairly interested in the outcome of what's about to pass," he says, using as much euphemism as he could muster.
Euphemism? The "young miss"? or the "interested"? ;-)

I think her previous thoughts were "I can't wait to boil him alive and wear his skin as a coat" so "interested" is a really optimistic way to say that :P
So Sanira's not the friendliest or most forgiving of horrible masochistic darkness-loving shadowpeople. Everyone knows one or two of those sorts of people, right?
Mavis worships Zura, so...

I know two!
By the end of this play-by-post, someone will stop dismissing me. At least one person. Maybe I'll even get to cast spells?
No worries folks, the time to shine draws nigh!
All things considered, the current set of events could've gone ALOT worse had Viluki stayed.
Now, onward to victory!!!
NIcola Vlasko Grey, stealth mage. You already rate pretty high in Fearn's book. You were first to step out at the hanging.
The RP chops of the party look awfully good. Glad you asked Helio to join us FMC.
I still called it on Viluki.
Everything from that "6" to "Your death will be painful and humiliating"
Glad to be here. FMC's a boss in my book.
And Viluki strikes me as a special kind of stupid. Picks a neat character concept with little idea of how to actually play or RP the character, proceeds to f&!~ up everything, and then tries to play it off like it's everyone else's fault or something. I especially like the "don't come to my thread, k?"
As if somehow he thought you'd actually want to deal with his shit again.
It was awful.
Vlasko, post, before I eat you.
ooOOooOOooo
Delay is OK by me, my hard drive bit the bullet and the last few days have been 90% recovery efforts in between work and other stuff.
But now I almost have everything fixed, and the Midnight Lord will tolerate no further delays.
I'm pretty much waiting for you guys to come to a decision so I can DM Post.
maybe Shadrick talks to the baron and we look around and maybe tackle the steward?
Sounds fair enough to me
We just had ourselves a moment right there, letting the role play get so rich like that. Moments like this makes me really enjoy being DM. Let's keep it going, folks!
Excelsior!!!!
Anyone know what happened to Nicola?
He hasn't posted within the last 8 days....
Obviously the devil.
I don't want another missing person from this game =____=
I don't want another missing person from this game =____=
I'm here and checking in. Just nothing to respond to for me that wasn't covered by everyone else as we moved forward.
Something to type up tonight? Yes. Just had to get home to type it. :)
Glad to have you back Nicola.
XP Tracker, Corp Loot and Plot Loot have been added to the campaign info.
If anyone has an Obsidian Portal Account, I could make a wiki for what has happened thus far.
As well as a character list as our NPC's list is growing.
Just wanna be very clear that I am *not* going to try and make it with the Baroness.
I repeat. I am *not* trying to make it with the Baroness.
We will all benefit from this, I promise.
Mhmm.
