GM Elberion's Council of Thieves

Game Master GeraintElberion

Token looks good to me. Far beyond my technical capabilities.

Today, Astra is modelling a range of token types. Which would you prefer for PC tokens?

I prefer the one in the lower left, but they're all good.

While red has always been my favorite color, I honestly like gold for the PCs. Aside from the high visibility it offers, gold makes me feel special ;p

Gold.

Another vote for gold.

Right, gold it is.

It is also now time for Astra to exit stage left until such time as Adam Warnock decides to return to Paizonia.

So... what do you all think, should we recuit another player or carry on as a four?

I'm not familiar enough with the AP to say how much we need a rogue/skill monkey at this point. What do you think?

As with most adventures, a rogue/skill-monkey is not completely essential but will definitely help with quite a few encounters, especially at lower levels.

It's really up to you, Elberion. You could get a new player easily, but if Adam returns, then we have 6. If you're willing to take that chance, I'm up for it.

I wouldn't be opposed to another. I can technically do the lockpicking thing, and next level I do get Trapfinding. I just have to contend with ACP applying to Disable Device (which I find rather annoying tbh, but dem's da rules). I plan to switch to a light shield as soon as I can afford it anyway (twf penalties and all), so that'll help abit.

Elberion,

Daxius currently has the following War Domain Granted Power:

Battle Rage (Sp): You can touch a creature as a standard action to give it a bonus on melee damage rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level for 1 round (minimum +1). You can do so a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

I just noticed that the Tactics subdomain is an option for Inquisitors, and I think it fits the character better. (details below) It's also a more useful Domain Power. Would it be OK if I swapped? I've only used the Battle Rage Power once.

Tactics (Associated Domain: War)

Replacement Power: The following granted power replaces the battle rage power of the War domain.

Seize the Initiative (Su): Whenever you and your allies roll for initiative, you can grant one ally within 30 feet the ability to roll twice and take either result.
This decision is made before results are revealed. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Thanks,

Chuck

I'm fine with that, you've only used your battle rage power once anyway and we can just say you had an inspiring word in the young chap's ear.

Right, decision made to continue with 4 characters. You've got a really versatile bunch of chracters so I'm sure you can handle it.

Feel free to discuss your group name, insignia and/or any disguises in this thread as well as in-character in the gameplay thread.

"Destiny's Wings"? Kinda basing it on Aroden's winged-eye theme.
Don't have a calling card in mind just yet.

Sorry for the slight pause in posting, I'm applying for a new job and I need to re-read some stuff for the adventure... I should have time at the weekend but until then it's just IC chat and choosing a name and disguise/uniform/calling-card.

I think Daxius was waiting on an answer from Sclavo, but that can wait until we get our sartorial matters resolved. Being anti-Asmodean Chelaxians, I think we'll skip the whole "Red, the blood of angry men/Black, the dark of ages past" color scheme, though. People might get the wrong ideas.

That's a miserables idea.

Ahem.

I'm gonna throw gold arm-bands out there.

Sounds good, and Pontia can use prestidigitation to change their color after we ride off into the night after a no-doubt daring adventure and narrow escape, laughing merrily at the antics of the Hellknights as they attempt to follow. Or something like that; I'm afraid that at least some of our escapes are going to involve the sewers again.

Which reminds me--half-masks or scarves over our mouths would be a good idea. Also gold?

I like the golden arm bands idea as well. I'd say no to golden scarves or masks though.

I keep getting a vision of Hynrot wearing one of those masks with an long nose. I just think it's hilarious.

Black Plague masks? (Kidding)

I'm for scarves - think it'll looks less creepy, and makes it look like a (demi)human is under there. Maybe of a different color?

I'll be out of town for the next couple of days, and with my laptop out of commission won't be able to readily post. Back Sunday evening.

I'm going on vacation! I'll be out of touch until 11 July. Run Daxius as you will.

I'm back. GM Elberion, how goes the encounter setup?

Just been making some tokens and stuff, ready soon: thankyou for the patience.

Golden armbands and face-scarves appears to be winning in the calling-card+disguise stakes. Is that right?

Sounds good. Though there's something about blue and yellow spandex that's sort of appealing....

Here we come, to save the day!

I remember that show, lol. Good times!

Sorry about this, but I'm going on vacation until the 14th.

Right, adventure-writing done (fingers crossed)... I'll ease you back into it and then we can blow-up-the-moon on the 14th when Daxius and Nicolai will be back with us.

Sorry for the unreasonable delay.

Don't worry about the delay, these things happen. Glad you're back and ready to roll though!

I'll be out on the road on the 14th, but will be back late that evening (well, evening at GMT -5).

Just giving you a heads-up that at the end of this month (July 31), I'll be leaving town for two weeks for work. I don't know the status of an available internet connection while I'll be gone, or how much free time I'll have, but I'll post as able.

After that, I'll only be back for a day before heading to Gencon afterwards, getting back home late the 19th. So between those two dates I'll be sporadic at best, possibly unavailable. Sorry for any inconveniences this may impose.

Nico is back in action. Time to get caught up :)

As pointed out in the other thread, we should get our loot sorted out so we can buy equipment. Are we all in agreement over selling the cap? It looks like we can get 500 gp for it. Is that all the valuable loot we got? I have to admit I haven't been following our treasure very carefully.

On the subject of loot, do we have any volunteers to track it?

Daxius needs a bow, and that's about it.

I wouldn't mind doing the responsibility of tracking it at all. I've done it before. The only problem I see is being gone for three weeks soon. Otherwise I see no issues.

And my vote is to sell it.

I don't know; I think it'd look very chic on Hyngrot.
...
No, sell it. Revolutions are expensive.

Daxius buys a longbow and 20 arrows. Should be 76 gp.

500gp Hat
2gp Ring
3gp Handaxe
12gp Cash
SUBTOTAL: 517gp

-5sp Cloth
SUBTOTAL: 516.5
Six-Way Split: 86gp (with 5sp in party treasure again)

Sound good?

Fine on this end.

Reminder: just a bit longer to do any shopping, then we can get going!

Pontia buys a couple of sunrods.

It's on.

Actually, I'd like to change from the long bow to a composite short bow with the +2 strength on damage, if I may. Same price.

I'd like to buy a tangle-foot bag (50 gp).

It's on.

Unfortunately not: Each point of Strength bonus granted by the bow adds 75 gp to its cost.

Hyngrot?

Gwah, must've not submitted. Sorry about that.

Thieve's tools 30gp
Light Spiked Shield 19gp

And can I sell the Heavy shield for 10gp? Unless someone wants it that is.

EDIT: Er 15gp, because it's spiked.

Whoops! Too rich for my blood. We need to knock over a bank or something.

Back to the original long bow purchase.
