GM Nayr's Carrion Crown AP

Game Master Nayr Trebrot

Definitely Rufus; alot going on there, so I'm glad it went as well as it did. And,perhaps the first real challenge for you guys.

Vrilli - we wouldn't need to roll for any of that, you can just batter them through the bars.

Happy Fathers day guys. Sorry, had to run out of town for family stuff. Back now and will be updating today.

Yeah the equipment list is hard to keep track of.
Should we divy it up to people and let them keep it on their character sheets, have a google spreadsheet we can all access, and indicate who is carrying it, or continue as we have?

Here is what I think we have right now:

======Potions:
4 CMW -found in safe
5 CLW -found before I joined game
5 Lesser Restoration -3 found in safe, 2 found prior to my joining game
2 Remove Disease -found in safe
7 Holy Water =2found in cabinet, 8 provided by town, - 3 uses.

======Scrolls:
1 x detect undead - found prior to my joining game
2 x hid from undead -found prior to my joining game
1 x protection from evil -found prior to my joining game
1 x Lesser Restoration

======Wands:
1 x wand CLW (15 charges)

======Equipment and devices:
10 arrows +1
5 arrows +1 ghost touch
2 arrow +1 undead bane
four sun rods
1 spirit planchette (maybe we should use this)
1 haunt siphon left

Thanks Sub, added to campaign thread.

I had forgotten that you had those lesser restoration

Zaz did drink a potion of Lesser Restoration. So far as I know, that's the only one we've used, so we can bulk Vrilli back up with some of those. Also, Zaz actually has that spell available now, although not prepped. However, she is now 3rd level, so can cast it using her Pharasmin symbol - her bonded object.

Re divvying up: the fighty folk should perhaps carry the bulk of the Cure potions - or at least most of them. Zaz is happy to take the scrolls, Remove Disease potions and any Lesser Restorations we have after helping Vrilli. Everyone should have 1 or 2 Holy Waters. If Zaz has the scrolls, it grants her a better range of offensive spells/debuffs. Not sure who should bear the wand.

Ha, some reason I thought restoration was just for lost levels. Awesome.

How about this:

Zazaria: Remove Disease and Lesser Restoration,2 Holy,Spirit Planchette,
Vrilli: 1 CLW, 1 CMW,wand-CLW(15),2 Holy
Rufus: 2 CLW, 2 CMW,2 Holy
Leeoli: 2 CLW, 1 CMW,1 Holy,Arrows,haunt siphon

Works pour moi...

I'm good with that.

Happy 4th of July to all those who celebrate it!

Rufus.
Hope you are still around.

I'll see if I can track down Vrilli.

So..do you think Rufus is done?

I'm still holding on to hope; he hasn't posted in any form for a month now, so I just hope he's alright. For now, I'll NPC Anyi and Rufus both, though if there's anything you feel they should do, feel free to mention it.

Leeoli is back in the other room with the furnace; did you want to change your action to engage the furnace in some way?

Figuring of course that Anyi had 1 vial of holy water; please subtract it from someone's total. She'd now be out, and you have 6 left

If it seems to Leeoli that the furnace is a physical thing, then I will leave my action as is, and targettig the furnace. If it looks ghostlike to him he would like to switch to holy water.

I totally misread. Two villians!

You get the feeling you'd have a hard time figuring out how to damage the thing physically, so holy water it is!

Updated:

Zazaria: Remove Disease and Lesser Restoration,1 Holy,Spirit Planchette,
Vrilli: 1 CLW, 1 CMW,wand-CLW(15),2 Holy
Rufus: 2 CLW, 2 CMW,1 Holy
Leeoli: 2 CLW, 1 CMW,0 Holy,Arrows,haunt siphon

We had 7 holy waters, now we've used 3, leaving 4. When I had made the split I didn't know Anyi was still going to be NPC'd, so maybe Zazaria can give one of hers up to Anyi for that use.

Posting will be spotty over the next few days as I entertain family

Spoke to Rufus guys, doesn't sound like he'll be rejoining us. He has too much on his plate now with a move, house rehab, new job, etc. We'll move on with him as an NPC till I can get rid of him

That is too bad. Rufus puts up some great narrative.

Wow this is an ill-fated bunch. I'm sorry to see Rufus go though, he was interesting. I do think the Prof had poor taste in friends, however. Very few of them seem to hang around for long...
Zaz is happy to take stuff as noted above.

seconded, Mr A.

Yeah...think we'll keep on with our 3 for a bit at this point. I might reach out and see if anyone had started this AP and seen it fall through after the 1st book - may get lucky and find someone who wants to continue.

I miss Asenath...she was kooky mad fun

So...any idea why this game is cursed? Is it a hard AP to get interested in, or am I running it wrong? I find it interesting, just not sure why others don't

Well Rufus had some bad luck right out being knocked out, but I think its more about where people are in their lives. Most that have dropped were in undergrad still, or in their twenties.. Schedules are pretty dynamic in college, and then there are parties, chicks, etc.

Us dads go to work, work a lot, but come home to their kids, day in and day out. Jack and I are the same, practically and also being my twin. We both work on a computer all day in our own offices, and its an easy thing to pop over and check in to paizo. instead of checking hacker news, or slashdot, or washingtonpost , or facebook i guess. etc.

The AP is interesting enough imo.

As far as criticisms of your GM style, it is hard for me to say much since I've never played with any other GM, RL or PBP. I am mostly satisfied with the experience, and I have fun. There are some occasions where I felt a little more detail would have helped, but I've just taken to asking when I feel that is the case. I don't know if it is the adventure paths, or you, but at first it seemed many of the fights were too easy. But the fight against the false priest and stirges in Carrion Crown, as well as the eel fight in Shackles were...dangerous. I like that.

Thanks Sub, that's helpful. And, yes - agreed...way too easy in the beginning, but I've been beefing up the encounters now.

Please feel free to move the privacy block down, but not all the way...no peeking!

I'd do it, but away and posting on my phone.

Personally, I have no problem with the AP or the way it is being run. I suspect that the main issue is momentum: the early players, for various reasons, didn't contribute so much and then left (Asenath excepted, I must say), and we've been sort of stumbling along with new personnel since then. Rufus was a good find, but obviously he's got other stuff going on right now. I guess we just have to keep moving on and keep an eye out for a new player. It'd be nice if we could get someone who hung about a bit longer, but I certainly am happy to keep going regardless.

Agreed.

Check out the recruitment tab, guys

Cool. Lots of interest.

what is max gold for level 3?

3,000

Gold by level

Wow, that's a lot of interesting character concepts...good to see some 3PP getting a run, too...maybe I'll be able to negotiate/bluff/etc. my way into playing some of the very cool stuff out there (not that Paizo core is short of options).

Any thoughts about who I should pick? This is why I hate using the recruitment tab...they're all so darn good that I feel bad only taking 2

Yeah I was thinking about that. Tough choices.

Hi. I have had no previous experience with PF so I have nothing with which to compare the current setup. Am enjoying the AP and have no isue with the GMing (which is greatly appeciated).
I also get the feeling that it's a stage of life thing for many of the exiters (speaking as another middle aged working chap with kids). I'm glad to hear there's been some interest from potential recruits.

:) Is Vrill suggesting filtering the prospects by stage of life? :)

Ha! Not a bad idea, really...want someone that'll stick around

I think they self-filter by stage of life, but we could save them the trouble.

Wanted: sad old gits with no social lives (fat and balding preferred but not compulsory)...

damn. got me :?(

Dura, Joseph - welcome. Let's get you up to speed; can you let me know where you'd like to start? have either of you made it through the first book?

Welcome Dura and Joseph!

howdy. So glad to be aboard. I read through the 1st book many moons ago. I can start where ever you'd like me to. In Ravengro, or Kendra could send me up to meet the team in Harrowstone

Yup, welcome folks! Look forward to your joining us!

Hello! I think the last time i played, we made it through the first encounter or so of Harrowstone.

When I get home this evening from work, I'll get an alias put together. I think it will be a pleasure to join you, hopefully for all involved. :)
