For those conversations that don't take place in game. Begging, pleading and bribery welcomed.
Should we be RPing in gameplay as if we are just now meeting outside Lorrimor's home or somewhere else in Ravengrow?
What Maria said.
Yes, you can roleplay meeting up, as I said the book just dumps you straight into the first fight with no setting of the stage.
I have the alias ready.
GM_DBH I think Maria was looking for a little guidance, in the house, outside, the Inn down the road?
I think that his response may mean it's up to us. I'm game for that. Let's improv it in gameplay?
Considering the book gives you diddly-squat on Ravengro we will say you meet at the Lorrimor house for tea and polite conversation before you travel to the church for the service, followed by you bearing the coffin to the graveyard. There is a picture in the Carrion crown folder up top of Professor Lorrinor's daughter Kendra.
Ravengro is noticeably unwelcoming to outsiders and you will actually be staying at the Lorrimor house while you are there.
GM: I wrote Maria as a resident of Ravengro. That ok? She definitely fits the "unwelcoming to strangers" description. If helpful, I'm sure I could figure out a reason for her to stay at the Lorrimor's for as long as necessary. Perhaps Kendra wants some help around the house while grieving and will give Maria room and board and let her father stay too so Maria can keep an eye on him?
dang. She just completely ignored poor cedric XD lol. Well, suppose its better than getting the stink eyes haha
Haha. Yeah Maria has plenty of stink eye to spread around. Ignoring you is about the best reaction any stranger could get at this point.
ooo. Cedric and Maria have very differing views on light vs shadow :P
Haha. yep! Gonna be fun to RP.
I think we can do better than his favourite pen pal going first. I'll hold off for a while but if no one else is posting in the next few hours I'll bite the bullet.
Sorry for the lateness. Every time I tried to get on the board and update yesterday it was down. So I didn't have the time for anything. Update coming shortly.
GM, a couple of questions: The journal seems to imply that Lorrimor already retrieved the useful items from the Church of Pharasma's cache. Am I reading that correctly? Also, did he already get the list of those who died in the fire from the temple? I'm trying to determine if we'd be better served by heading to the temple or Harrowstone. Seems like we could certainly use the information the temple could offer.
I think the entry said he borrowed "a few items" I don't think that means everything. Its worth checking out I think.
Cool. Church of Pharasma seems like destination #1, then.
A good opening volley of knowledge rolls for Gadren!
Woot! Well done, Gadren! Good to have a master of knowledge on every team.
With the lowest being a 17 we should have at least some information on each of the prisoners, could be very important... I hate when you run into a dead end in the adventures due to lack of understanding what is going on. I like having a bit of each of the knowledge skills, what can I say, it's good to have a chance.
Definitely. I typically try to put a point in each when playing a class that can (wizard being amazing at this) but when I'm a low-int paladin...
In GM DBH's Kingmaker game my Vigilante is slowly acquiring a rank in each skill to have a chance to roll.
Haha. Nice!
honestly, the best knowledge monkey I ever played was a mindchemist alchemist. That sweet, sweet, double Int modifiers bonus on knowledge checks. Delicious.
Absolutely. I'm playing one right now that's about to hit level 2 and obliterate all knowledge checks. I built one for my wife as her first PF character and she loved knowing everything all the time, especially with cognatogens up.
GM, would you be willing to allow celestial healing to work like Infernal healing?
@Cedric. It already does? Celestial healing works exactly like Infernal healing, only using a drop of blood from a good outsider, or Holy water. They gain Fast healing 1 and a good aura as long as the spell runs.
For my ease when running things, especially making opposed checks, can everyone please have their AC. HP. Saves. Init & Perception in their stat bar.
No its a far worse spell unless you are really high level.
Ok, I see what you mean. I can't understand why they made the spells with such unbalanced durations? Yes Celestial healing has the same duration as Infernal.
I realize for some reason I didn't label my rolls.
the first roll is a Knowledge Nature check, the other are my attack rolls. (This is what happens when I post before I have my coffee >.<)
Hi guys, I'm listing everything not claimed on the loot sheet as "party" if you wanted to claim the item, feel free to change it to your name, and list your name and the total value under GP value claimed.
Also, A thanks to DBH and Maria for helping out with setting it up.
Anything left in the "party" loot will likely be sold at a later date if deemed unuseful for anyone in the party. (potions should be claimed by someone, preferably. IMO, so should scrolls.)
`allo, `allo, `allo!
Sorry I've not posted a thing for four days.
I had a decidedly unplanned trip to the hospital.
And there's no Internet access where I was, sad to say...
Thing is I had a spill down [u]two[/u] whole stairs in my flat and landed just right (or horribly wrong) on my right knee.
Turns out I tore the patella (?) tendon that holds my right kneecap in place.
I've been in the hospital from Thursday night until an hour ago.
Had to wait a while for the surgery because of a crazy busy weekend at the hospital ER and all that.
So I ought not be going anywhere outside my flat for quite a while. Have to wear a knee immobilizer for six weeks. Lotsa fun .
But if I do go off radar again like this, please feel free to bot me.
This was rather unexpected, and hopefully won't happen again!
Thanks for your patience, all!
I'll post a bit later tonight; I just need to have a bit of a lie-down for now...
So sorry to hear that! Glad to have you back.
Thanks, Maria.
At least it's something that should mend...
Ah yes, knees! I feel your pain. I have pins in one knee and the other is titanium now. Good to have you back.
Thanks. Good to be back.
What can I say but ouch...
...and feel better soon... as soon as possible.
I, in particular, am glad to have you back. If you weren't here, our wizard would keep thinking he's a frontliner. XD
Mage tanks are best tanks!
But not for long! :D
I'm glad you are getting better! And glad to have you back.
Thanks, Cedric.
As I said, bad as it is, things could've been worse.
okay guys, finals week is over, I should be able to pick back up my posting rate.
I'm sick from some bug at the moment.
Sorry, update tomorrow after I've had a good nights sleep.
Sorry to hear you're feeling ill! Get better soon.
A good snooze should do you a lot of good.
did you notice I tried to open/look into the room labeled S8?
The trap on the door killed you when you did that, so now you're one of the ghosts of Harrowstone.
