Just FYI.
Noya has decided to bow out of this AP, so we'll be continuing on as a foursome. In game, we can just say that she went back to check on her injured troglodyte, or whatever.
Sorry about that GM Fanguar. My intention was not to drive the player out of the campaign with my post - just to let him/her know how I feel.
I don't know the player, but I'm open to whatever dialogue, just PM me.
Bibic
your post did not drive my away alone, it just gave it a push.
as my internal RL hypothesis of the piller once containing a feathered creature being called meta-gaming was a nail in the coffin, but only a small one.
--------------------------------------------
I'm dropping from the Shattered Star game due to RL getting busy and my need to rush my posts at times (so I use the wrong words once in a while, i.e. used stasis instead of mummified/preserved remains).
The hypothesis was either a strix, angel or eryines was emtombed alive in the piller as punishment.
With it being held with a Hold Monster or Charm person spell with a possible protection spell helping to seal any powers,
or it was a detailed metal statue of the Peacock Spirit.
As the second I read impression of winged woman was read I thought of the Movie The Mummy (with Brandon Fraser) where the bad priests were buried alive.
but also thought of a king/queen hiding a treasure.
I might return later if things settledown, but for now it does not look like that for 3 to 9 months
Best of luck, Noya.
Thanks, Mr Gaten.

I know you guys don't like to metagame, so I wont forward anything, but if you do want some advice or clarification, let me know.
When a GM offers, I don't turn it down...
The magical hole is a bit of a conundrum.
I'll pontificate here while we slay a hydra.
We have a magic hole with deeper darkness and feather fall effects (identified by Bibic, but not confirmed by Spasi).
We don't know how deep it goes... we didn't hear the sound of our rock hitting anything below so we know it's pretty deep (more than 50ft?) and we lack rope anyway, which we'd still want to use because who wants to jump into a feather-fall hole with no method of return?
I wager we go to the village after the hydra, pick up some rope and worst case, we can lower Clem into the hole for a look. Worst case is he floats to the max length of the rope (100ft?) and we pull him back out.
Excellent plan. Bibic is behind it 100%. That is assuming we don't find a way past they hydra to something else.
Agreed.
Sure, we go aboleth fishing in the pit of darkness with Clem.

Way to Spasi the freak out of his game, yo.
I think I speak for all of us when I say we really appreciate you GMing for us, I know it's no small amount of effort!
I'm also vibing the mapless play.
I too appreciate the work you've put in, and the mapless play really does speed things up.
I'm just glad everyone is having a good time.
As for mapless combat, there are pros and cons to doing it this way and I do run a couple of campaigns on the boards with maps for combat. With the amount of dungeon crawling involved in this AP, I thought mapless would be the way to go. I do enjoy the game within the game that combat presents (I actually love the D&D 4e combat system), but it does slow things down considerably.
Anywho, back to the game.

Heads up all, I will definitely be without internet from July 20-25th so don't expect any updates during that time.
Also, I am moving at the end of the month, so things might get a little dodgier than usual around that time, as I deal with setting up new internet and the like.

Yar. Thanks for letting us know.
I hope the move goes well.
Yeah, moves can really suck. Good luck with everything!
Heads up, with the ARG errata, I'll be self-implementing the change to the aasimar oracle favored class bonus on Clement (from 1/2 to 1/6) unless GMF has any objections to a self-imposed nerfing? (which will be easier once HeroLab implements it)
(I am almost inclined to switch all Clem's decisions to +HP instead, not sure what license GMF may allow on the FCB change)
Hey folks, I'm dealing with moving and getting that all sorted, so expect things to be a bit slow. Hope to be back up and running by the end of the week, at the latest.

Yar, we miss you. We need you..but take your time. We'll never find the room of the Co-ed Saucy Sauna of Sorshen without you.
Clement update for the change to aasimar favored class bonus.
HP up to 73, channel down to 4d6+1.
Hey folks I am need of some warm bodies for my Way of the Wicked campaign. We are currently approaching the end of book 1.
Wakedown is already in it and I thought I would see if any of the rest of you would be interested before I open up a call on the boards.
I'm running it handwavy map less style, just like this campaign, so you know what you're getting into. We currently have an antipaladin, a monk/cleric and a bard/alchemist.
Anywho, if any of you are interested please let me know.
I'd normally say yes but I know myself well enough to know I'm currently at my limit for PbP games. Thank you for the invite though.
Antipaladin? Awesome.
I'm not interested in playing evil or I might be interested. Good luck filling the seats! :)
No worries folks, you're all great players, so I thought I would ask you first.
For what it's worth, the campaign isn't super duper evil. It's just that the enemies all happen to be Good for a change. It's more of a overthrowing the government kind of thing and while it is a 'Good" society, it isn't a liberal society (no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, super racist against non-humans).
Anywho, back to the game. We are nearly done the adventure.

I would join, but I'm impacted with PbP as it stands now. I appreciate the offer.
I should note some abilities of Rhesus as regards to Spellcasters here. I've been taking this into account the whole time but since the BBEG is a spellcaster I don't want to surprise you Fang.
Spell Sunder (Su) Once per rage, the barbarian can attempt to sunder an ongoing spell effect by succeeding at a combat maneuver check. For any effect other than one on a creature, the barbarian must make her combat maneuver check against a CMD of 15 plus the effect's
Superstition +3 (Ex) While raging, gain bonus to save vs magic, but must resist all spells, even allies'.
Witch Hunter (+2) (Ex) Bonus to damage spellcasters while raging.
Spasi edges back, far away from the raging Rhesus Smasherbuttercup.
I wouldn't mind the striding boots and if nobody wants the +1 light fortification breastplate that would be nice, but since Clem seems to take more damage than Rhesus...;)
Clement votes to armor up Rhesus.
Works for me. If you're taking the striders, I'll take the haste boots. Bibic is eyeing the googles of the night too - darkvision!
What's an orb of consumption? Sounds cursed to me...
I assume it let's you drink more.
Also just checked and I don't have Medium Armor Prof. so the breastplate goes to Clem.
Ugh. We'll selling that orb, ain't we?
Is you want Spasi to have suggestion 1/day, he'll take the shard. Could also go to Rhesus, whatevs.
Looks like Spasi did the last looting.
I'll leave it up to one of youse guys to do it this time, eh? Spasi doesn't want any of the magics, but could be wrong.

From the Minds of Monsters. It is an incredibly well preserved investigation of the nature of many monsters that are capable of strange mind-controlling powers. What is truly astounding though is that the book appears to have been penned by Sorshen herself and is written in her own hand.
+1 keen longsword
Wand of cure moderate wounds, 10 charges (Clem)
The book is a minor artifact. If studied, it serves as a tome of clear thought +1, but instead of the magic dissipating after being read, this book will recharge after a month. (Spasi)

Thanks for this Rhesus!!
I'd also like the goggles of the night (found 12/4/2015) if that's OK with everyone. I'm very fine with selling the rest, there is much I hope to purchase with the proceeds.

A bard can use this ability more than once against an individual creature during an individual performance.

+1 Thanks Rhesus, you glorious bastard.
Loot Note:
platinum necklace - sell
wand of Acid Arrow - sell
wand of detect secret doors - sell
Spasi claims:
Tome of Clear Thought thingy
Wand of Fly 8 charges
Wand of Dimension Door 14 charges
And the Shard of Greed, I guess.
I'll have Spasi leveled up later tonight.
Will grab these since they seem to be free:
cloak of resistance +1
+1 light fortification breastplate
I think we should keep the immovable rod as a group, because those things can be so damn cool for creative thinking and roleplay.
Clement has darkvision already, but the goggles of the night will come in handy when and if we face darkness, so one of you dirty humans should take those.
Clem has a +1 agile breastplate to toss into the pile once he takes the above breastplate.
I will noodle on Clem's potential dip into paladin or something that grants martial proficiency and that will affect if he starts using one of the longsword, warhammer, rapier or dagger alongside the bow as an upgrade to his masterwork mace.
And sure, Clem will grab the shard of greed since he seems to actually roll attack rolls from time to time. I've got something in mind for him to start collecting the appropriate trinkets and jewelry to hang from his person as protective wards for him and Rhesus.
I'll keep the boots of striding and springing, snag the ring of electrical resistance if nobody else wants it, and if the dagger doesn't get claimed I'll use it as a backup weapon. Give me a bit to get everything organized.
Also, somebody should hold on to the Bag of Holding, probably Clem or myself?
