Null sweat! Godere!
Yeah, don't worry about us. Enjoy Italy! We'll hear from you when you're back! And then we'll get back to undead bashing and tomb robbing exploring!
Thanks for everyone's patience. I will heading to the airport in a few hours and after some 20 hrs of travel, will be returning home around 3:00a of Thursday. Should have some posts up Thursday afternoon/evening.
No worries man! Enjoy your trip abroad!
Ahem, unless someone has a better idea, Teos is T-6 seconds away from charging...
Tektite, would you mind removing Taran from the game? Reduce my dwarf confusion...
I am leaving for vacation to North Carolina tomorrow evening and I will be gone until the 4th of October. I should still be able to update every day, but some days might prove inconsistent.
I'll be out Nov 5-9 due to family health issues.
Partial treasure report.
Teos and Seherab each have a cloak of resistance +1 now. Everyone has a cloak now, and each is a different color since we are a dwarven superhero team.
Teos is going to grab the amulet of natural armor for the moment, if nobody minds.
If Brynark is feeling a little weevil, he could use blood transcription. Just don't let Teos know what's going on...
Anyone have designs on the handy haversack? (Does being haunted override the sacks move-action thing for Ankhef? Hmmmm....) My vote would be Seherab, I think.
Before whatever we find in the next room, we've at least 11k in the party, if anybody has any wish list items.
Yours truly,
Party treasurer
Yes! I'll absolutely take the handy haversack. My wishlist mostly includes making my shortsword magical at the moment. I know there are some neat investigator-specific items and weapon upgrades that I might look into some day down the road but in the short term I don't have anything in mind.
Also, I have been debating taking a dip into Master of Many Styles. I wanted to stick straight investigator to get the most out of the class and take Kirin Style/Strike down the road but the earliest I could get them is 7th and 9th, respectively. Or I could dip into MoMS and get them right away but I'd have to push back some of the talents I want (particularly Combat Inspiration and Amazing Inspiration). Thoughts?
edit: Also, can you do an Unchained Master of Many Styles? I don't see why not and I also don't see why you wouldn't as the only big difference would be +1 BAB and losing the BAB was another concern of mine in dipping into monk for a level or two.
Thanks Teos,
I still haven't fully read the investigator, Ankhef is of course staying Oracle.
Brynark will pass on the Blood Transcription, I think. Not really his speed.
Is this an opportune time to sell stuff? If so, I can finish up my loot calculations.
Yes. This would be a good time to make sells.
Ok, things have been sold.
We have 13,938 gp.
Teos would like to put in a request for a Belt of Giant's Strength, which would leave 9938 gp.
We have a couple of interesting unclaimed items:
potion of spider climb
hand of the honest man (absorbs and keeps a curse, neck slot)
natron's fang (bypass mummy DR)
Even if no one is proficient, we should keep natron's fang. I have a suspicion it will come in handy....
Seherab will want his sword magicified for 2000 gp. If we have enough, some AC-boosting items might be good for Seherab. Or maybe just a belt of incredible dexterity, which would increase his AC and attack.
Heading out of town for the week. (I think everyone knows, but Pirate Rob) Will try to update tomorrow.
Sorry guys. I know I've fallen way behind. I've been super busy catching up from the holidays/vacation, then had some snow days the beginning of this week, including a slide off that wrecked the front of my truck.
In absence of additional input, Seherab now has a belt of incredible dexterity and magic weapon. Teos has a belt of giant strength now.
Teos will take two unclaimed potions of cure moderate wounds.
We seem to have about ~3900 gp left, if anyone wants anything.
We seem OK on healing/medical scrolls, but if anyone wants anything now would be a good time to put in a request.
Do we need another wand of cure light wounds?
Woo! I can't think of anything else I need at the moment.
If someone else wants to borrow my +1 mithral chain shirt while I wear the mistmail (or if someone else wants the mistmail), speak up. I'm going to hold on to both sets, I guess, until I upgrade the regular mithral shirt and then maybe we can sell the mistmail or someone else can use it.
Another wand is never a bad idea. Seherab seems to have gotten quite a few items lately so maybe the others should speak up with an item or two they want.
I am a witch, so most of the items don't quite make sense, though Brynark will hold on to the Natron Fang Khopesh if you will let him. It intrigues him. :D
Sure! We're total cooperative treasure sharing for this party (very un-dwarflike :) ). Nobody else is using it, certainly.
OK, just to keep it simple, I'll sell the Hand of the Honest Man, and now Ankhef can have a nice item too. What do you want, Ankhef? Headband, belt? Something else? We have ~5400 we can spend on you.
I think I'll go with a circlet of persuasion (4500). Help improve my social skills.
You already took the judges circlet of persuasion. You want two circlets of persuasion? Who are you, Dwarfy Bowie?
Pick something else ;)
I totally forgot about that. Remembering things is hard. Lets go with a +2 charisma headband, unless I suddenly already have one of those too.
You have one now :)
I am just about ready to continue. While you wait, go ahead and level up to 5.
Leveled up!
Initiative went up to +4 and Perception increased to +14.
Teos is leveled. Init +2, Perception +11
I am leveled by haven't updated my character sheet here yet. Now I can summon even more thingies.
Updated!
Is anyone currently taking decent notes of plot stuff, since we seem to be getting more into exposition territory?
I am a Medium Witch in addition to a Winter Witch, so I can do this nifty ability:
Ectoplasmic Aptitude (Su): At 2nd level, the medium can sling spells at ghosts and spirits as surely as at corporeal foes. She gains the Ectoplasmic Spell metamagic feat as a bonus feat. In addition, as an immediate action a number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier, the medium can apply the Ectoplasmic Spell feat to any spell she is casting without increasing its spell level.
So, the rod would rarely get used by me. Someone else should use it if they can get some benefit, but (god forbid) it might come in handy if Bryn needs to blow through 6-8 spells on an incorporeal creature.
Okay, well I don't forsee Teos or Seherab casting spells anytime soon, so I guess it goes to Ankhef.
I'm not much in the way of offensive spells, but I'm sure it'll come up eventually.
Ectoplasmic is usually one of the first rods I pick up for my casters. Very useful in a pinch and one of the cheapest (useful) rods in the game. But yeah, Seherab won't be casting any spells.
Decided not to dip into monk as it would delay my studied strike and some of the investigator talents I wanted. It just means I'll have to wait a little longer to get the Kirin Style feats but in the long run I like sticking with investigator better.
I apology for the radio silence. I have had some changes in RL that have left me with little time to even look at a computer. I know this seems to be a frequent excuse of mine lately, but unfortunately that's the ways things have been going. I can only ask that you bear with me.

As a heads up, I will be taking the Illinois Bar Exam on Tuesday and Wednesday and travelling to Chicago on Monday. I am aiming to still get posts up, but I cannot promise that it will happen.
It's been nearly 30 days since Tek's last post. What is everyone's thoughts on this?
I could take over as GM if everyone wants and we could search for another player or we could search for a new GM or someone else could step up to GM. I'm not opposed to any option, but sitting around just make me forget more and more of the little I know already. :(
I don't suppose someone could finish Tektite's Reborn Forge and Emerald Spire Games? Those were much closer to being done.
I could take or leave keeping this game. It's been OK, but rough going since the beginning.
I think it's only been hard to get into because it's been so slow and, like Brynark said, it's hard to remember what's going on when the updates aren't coming regularly. But I really like the setting of this AP and enjoy my character and am really curious about where it's going so I would like to keep it alive if possible. But if Teos or anybody else wants to drop, I understand and would be willing to look for and work with new players as needed.
Unfortunately I don't really think I can take on GMing another AP right now (and I really want to play this one for a change). Right now it seems like either we need to find a new GM or let Brynark take over the GMing and replace him with a new player. I'm fine with either option really.
I'd love to be able to continue this game. How far along is his ES game? I might be able to pick that up, at the very least finish the current level.
So what are the thoughts on me picking up this game as a GM?
I think EF is for it, but I'd like Rob and Tangaroa's thoughts, too. If I do step up, then I'd like to get two more players.
I'd be happy to have you take over and get this show back on the road.
Sure, go for it. Two more players would be nice - that would help things move along at a better clip.
Alright, I am ready to take this over, but I need help recruiting.
Does anyone have any ideas for invites? Personally, I'm thinking people like DM Panic, but I am open to others. Thoughts? I do not want to do an open enrollment.
Dien is semi-local to me and is a fantastic and dedicated poster.
Sent out invites and just waiting to hear back.
Thanks for the update, choo choo, looking forward to this train getting back on the tracks.
Dien started a Mummy's Mask PbP recently. Any others that people can think of?
