Well I was (and I guess still am) considering Craft Wondrous item...
Just not sure if I should take it at 3rd or not.
The other 'options' I'm considering are:
Additional Traits
the feat the increases the DC of Channel Energy,
or something to 'help' my Imp when I get it at level 3 (like some Eidolon Evolutions).Craft Arms & Armor are still solid choices, and I'm thinking Craft Wand might be very useful, especially for out of combat healing.
Well, if you do end up with Craft Wondrous, I'll definitely go with arms and armor at 5th. I think we can get by pretty well without needing to duplicate.
With the way those feats work in Pathfinder, its also possible to put them on someone who has feats to spare, and have the casters assist them in the crafting.
Whether they would have a RP reason to take those feats though is another question entirely...
And my trip away from the office is now cancelled...
Here's the marching order we used back in Branderscar - now that the band is back together, I'm good with continuing this way. Any objections?
Felrin
Sabel
Twigs
Malum
Numair
(Grumblejack if present)
Gil
@Fyren - will Jack be joining us? More accurately, if we bring Jack along, will anyone stop us?

That's a very... VERY good question Felrin... :)
Sorry folks... Everyone decided to get sick w the flu including me... Will update in a day or two once i dont feel like puking every 2 mins
Hope you feel better Fyren.
Take your time, Gil is used to waiting for the peasants ;P
No rush. FYI, we have a funeral tomorrow, then are leaving to drive to Florida Sunday morning. It's about a 19 hour drive, so I may be scarce until sometime Monday or so.
...aaaaaaaand we're back in business! Thanks for your patience everyone... not 100% yet but good enough to continue. Hopefully everyone is still around! :) Update coming shortly.
Good to hear you're up and around; hope you and your family get 100% quickly!
Glad to hear you're at least mostly better, Fyren.
I just noticed I haven't updated my alias with new equipment, will try to do that today or tonight - but if my AC and such changes after we go in the dunge- oops, basement, that's why.
It does feel like bad things could happen any minute, and that Twigs could be the catalyst in that reaction. But I'm trying to see it positively. In fact, at the moment I have a funny mental image of going into the basement at my mother's house to retrieve the box of Christmas ornaments, which somehow fell to me most years. The house is 150 years old, the basement is low-ceilinged and dark, and the box only comes out once a year, so it's hidden well to the back, by the old coal-chute. And it often felt like bad things could happen any minute down there. But there were Christmas stockings and other fun stuff in the box. So it's a nice mix of foreboding and holiday cheer!
FYI folks - I will be doing the Christmas thing from Dec 25 to about Dec 29 so posting will be very sporadic if at all. I imagine most folks will want a break so no biggie if you can't post. We shall commence again full steam ahead in the New Year. Have a Merry Christmas, festive New Year and safe holidays!
oooooh goodie goodie! Malum chooses not to interfere which means Twigs grabs the shiny... should I let the anticipation/dread build a bit and delay posting the update on the consequences until after the holidays...? ;)
Post away! And then we can keep you on tenterhooks about whether we pull Twigs out of the spiked pit after the explosion.
hey folks - had a question totally unrelated to the current game - I was curious about opinions on pathfinder's wrath of the righteous campaign? anyone read/played the AP?
Havnt read, havnt played, always ready to dive in.
Thats actually true for most APs for me.
Haven't read or played it, just read a bit about it. Sounds pretty amazing.
It opens with a bang, has a pretty fast leveling curve and I'm having a tremendous amount of fun with it as an unassuming irish-catholic (Iomedaean) halfling cleric. Apparently hapless idiots are my roleplaying niche.
I challenged myself to make a mythic character that was as unassuming as possible, a David vs Goliath type that uses magic stone for damage. So far I'm having mixed results and having to fall back on aid-another a lot, but my experience with archer-clerics is they really pick up when you have CL3 divine favor and rapid shot (and the mythic rapid shot should make that even sexier...)
Merry Christmas to everybody!
I've read some of them, but not played. Looks like a lot of fun, and it's been an enjoyable read so far.
...they really pick up when you have CL3 divine favor and...
Whats so special about CL 3 for Divine Favor? It gives a +1 for every 3 caster levels, so unless im reading it wrong, it doesnt actually go up in power until CL 6
Apparently hapless idiots are my roleplaying niche.
Well, let me say, you play the part almost professionally ;P
Hey, you're right on that. Playing three clerics at around that level at the moment, though, I say shhhh.

Being a nasty evil lady is fun. I usually only get to use this kind of language when I'm doing an evil monologue or something.
Iz and Twigs, you do an excellent job at the nasty evil lady and the hapless idiot, respectively. Good fun bit of RP there.
I have the AP, only skimmed through it. It seems okay, has a lot of NPCs that the GM gets to juggle (unless they die of course... :)
I'll be leaving for a few days in the mountains tomorrow, back on New Year's Eve. I'm expecting limited connectivity and computer time, so will be pretty quiet until next year. Happy New Year to all!
Sorry folks, my lung collapsed over boxing day and I've been struggling to stay on top of my (too many) PbPs amid enrollment, the job hunt and feeble attempts at a social life with whats left of my summmer. I might need a few days to get my feet, so please bot Twigs to keep things moving if you're waiting up for me at all. I'll check in sooner next time!
Wow, Twigs, that sounds miserable. Hope things look up soon, and you're able to get back to us soon too.
What is "boxing day" anyway? Just boxing? Or something related to the gang?
And yes, fantastic movie, enjoyed it all. And ive read the book.
Following Felrins lead, although in his mind, he had the idea first...
Well since it is Malum's Folly, obviously I should run thru and spring whatever trap there is...
On second thought, maybe I won't do that. Maybe I'll just cower while the rest of you figure it out... :)
Haven't been on much since I've come down with a nasty stomach bug. Soon as I feel better I should be back up to the regular posting schedule.
I'm a bit surprised it's taken you folks this long to tackle the current room when everyone more or less sailed through the first two rooms... are we all that afraid of the unknown? ;)
This one looks weird and deadly. Tell us what the other message on the wall is and I'm sure we'll sort it out instantly and zip right through. Or die.
umm... go through the hole and read it? Surely no harm ever came from reading a message... :)
You weren't afraid to get down into a spiky pit to read a message but leery of a little hallway with chains in it? come now... "fortune favours the bold..." remember? ;) bwaaahahahaha
Hey all - just a heads-up that I'll be leaving Saturday for a week of work travel, that will then become a week of personal travel, due to return on Feb 8. I will try to keep up on posting, but I will be pretty busy.
Hehe, I think we are all waiting for Izabelle to finish her 'suggestion' as to what happens next... :)
I have a couple of all-day meetings scheduled for later this week that I need to prep for so we may be on hiatus... OR - I can post really short one-two liners instead of flowery stories to keep the action moving... voice your opinions... :)
How about a half long post every other day?
I'd vote for a brief something when you can do it, rather than a hiatus. We've already slowed a lot as we try to figure out this chain hallway of death, I'd hate to lose all our momentum. Plus - I want to know what horrors Felrin is experiencing!
Shorter posts suit me fine. I think dungeons by pbp are best taken at a fast pace anyway, so you dont wind up spending months trudging between puzzles and combat and losing the threads of the story. I vote to keep the ball rolling.
That said I'm rather enjoying this one so far. It seems more a real test of our strength as a group than a mindless trudge through various monsters. If you'd prefer to stall things for a while thats okay for me as well.
At first, I thought that you might have to just hop into the chains and let them carry you off instead of struggling, ala the Devil's Snare from Harry Potter...
But the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that what we have to do is turn around and go through one of the previous doors instead.
I almost posted Izabelle barking at Felrin to stay still and let the chains do to him what they will. Whiiiiich could have ended badly, to say the least.
Look on the bright side, atleast Malum would have been one snazzy pair of boots richer! After he poured out the Felrin paste and gave them a good wash. Naturally.
Sadly it looks like the new boots will have to wait. Very sad. :)
So sorry to disappoint. I will point out that you two, discussing the boots, were the ones that most affected the outcome by helping Felrin out. And now you're two boots to the poorer. That averages out to one boot each. Sad.
But thanks for the assist!
You just be thankful circumstances didn't warrant running away, or Gil would have left you flapping in the wind. Maybe in time, he will come to your aid in spite of that, but for now, you just gotta hope ;P
Erp. Sorry I'm a bit behind. My ISP says they're "Down for scheduled maintainance," which was supposed to have ended a couple of hours ago. As a result, might be a bit patchy until it's all sorted out.
After all the set-up, this hallway can't really be a dead end, can it? I get the urge to walk away at this point, but I can't help but wonder if we're going to end up back here.
I have a busy couple of days coming up starting today, not sure how often I will get to post until Sunday.
