GM Nel's Kingmaker Campaign

Game Master CRobledo

From the depths of an untamed wilderness, bandits and monsters run rampant across the land. Do you have what it takes to conquer the lands and raise yourself up as King, Emperor and God?

Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

How about you post whatever you want to do and one of does the rolls for you?


Paizo forums have been giving me issues all day.

Slow week?


Well, nothing else on this hex. You can go to the next hex whenever :P

Yeah... In my case, it's half because of having been undead for some days, half because of waiting for something to happen. But now I'm, well, how else to put it, back in the saddle. ;)

Onwards, my friends!


Just FYI, leaving for Gencon late Tuesday night, so will be trying to get as much of my PBP games done as I can today and tomorrow to compensate for slow posts later this week. If you have a chance, feel free to check in a few times a day.

I think we're all agreed to go to the next hex east, and then head north to Oleg's from there. Exploring... and breahtlessly awaiting what happens next.


Well, you found something on this hex... :)


Please take the time to level up now that we are resting. I'll try to post Oleg's current stock of wares later today.

I will do my best to post as much as I can through the week, but I don't know the internet situation there. I will certainly not have the ways to work on creating maps, so expect some more RP encounters to follow :D


Male Halfling Rogue 4 HP : 34/34

I forget, what do we do for hit points?


Male Halfling Rogue 4 HP : 34/34

One of you fighter types should take the bow and arrows, Bingo wants somma that head cheese!


round up your class' Hit Die averag + con mod + toughness (if you have it) + favored class bonus (if you select it)


Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

Yay, level up! :)

We should not forget to hand over the radish (well, assuming we didn't eat everything) to Svetlana!

Should I make a loot list update?
There isn't that much we found on this trip, though.


It would probably be helpful. From Svetlana, she pays 250 gp for the radishes as well.


Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

Loot List

Claimed Loot
treasure map -> Bingo
radishes -> Svetlana
Daeodon head -> Vekkel

Unclaimed Loot
1x silver stag skull amulet (20gp)
1x short sword
(from the spider's lair, assuming Bingo didn't want to keep 'em?)
1x leather armor (assuming we used a rope and a hook to get it out of the spider's lair)
1x Daeodon hide
1x masterwork longbow
6x +1 animal bane arrows

Cash
250 gp (Svetlana)
10 gp (spider's lair, see above)

----------

Regarding that quest...

Quote:

"Task: The bandits in the Greenbelt need to be shown that their actions will not be tolerated. Capture or defeat at least six of them to send a message."

Reward: If bandit activity is noticeably affected, the swordlords wil send a reward of 400 Crowns.
...which had the status of "awaiting reward" last time we were at the tradepost, and taking into account what I had asked once...
Quote:
Sidenote: Is it okay if I assume that Borden and Andrezi are busy bringing the captured bandits (those we offered a trial) to Restov? Would be a reason for their abscence. :)

... my question is: has our reward arrived yet? ^^

Oh, and btw, how's Wenry holding up?

@ Mornaura. I know, I know, I was rushing things. I did post this tho':

Quote:
If there's nothing further in this hex, shall we go on? Other folks can make their appraise checks when they catch up? Want to make the most of GM Nel's time before he's off to GenCon.

He did say he's away for a week and invited us to post more, before he left... I won't make it a habit. Especially, if Mornie keeps finding Gold!


Hey all, back from gencon! I'll need today to catch up on work and sleep, but I'll get working on continuing by tomorrow.


Male Halfling Rogue 4 HP : 34/34

GM Nel, did you post some other group's map to your Kingmaker Flickr page? I don't recognize any of the icons. Shoalo and Ahrmisia seem to be fighting some sort of large ugly thing in a log building. :)


Yep, that's from a PFS First Steps im also running :P oops. Hard to keep track, you all use flickr and they google/picasa.

Ok, everyone leveled? Make sure stat blocks are updated so I can reference them as needed


Male Halfling Rogue 4 HP : 34/34

How much cash do we have for buying new gear?


Male Human Fighter 3

All updated. I added some siege engine crafting--thought that might come in handy.

Grand Lodge

HP 18/18 | AC 16/20 (T 15, FF 12) | CMD 15 | Fort +2 | Ref +6 | Will +5 | Init +4 | Perc +6 Elf Sorcerer 4

Me too! All updated with a shiny new cantrip! I can't believe they give bards more spells then sorcerers. Really?

Anyhoo...

Here's the loot list Mornaura did for us, slightly updated:

Claimed Loot
treasure map -> Bingo
radishes -> Svetlana
Daeodon head -> Vekkel
1x masterwork longbow -> Kaeso
6x +1 animal bane arrows -> Kaeso

Unclaimed Loot
1x silver stag skull amulet (20gp)
1x short sword (10 gp)
(from the spider's lair, assuming Bingo didn't want to keep 'em?)
1x leather armor (10 gp)(assuming we used a rope and a hook to get it out of the spider's lair)
1x Daeodon hide (Will Otto give us anything for this?)

Cash
250 gp (Svetlana)
10 gp (spider's lair, see above)
400 gp reward for dealing with bandits (arrived yet?)

So presuming
1. everyone already has a stag amulet in case we need to go incognito
2. no one wants the short sword, leather armor, or daeodon hide
3. we sell items for 50% of cost
4. the 400 gp for bandit hunting has arrived

Thats 700 gp / 5 pc's = 140 gp's each

And that's before anything for the Daeodon hide.


You are certainly welcome to sell all mundane gear you have.

Art objects and trade goods (such as the daeodon hide and the stag brooches) sell for 100%

I'd suggest keeping the pool of GP for everyone and just use it as party gold, but that's just how they do it on my kingmaker homegame. If you want to just split that's cool too.

Daeodon hide will fetch you an extra 200g

Money from bandits is indeed here

How Lawful Good of you GM Nel! My groups usually just split the loot, but I have also been in parties that divide magical loot by value too, and people that get more magical gear take less cash to compensate. I have also been in parties that all pitch in to keep the cleric stocked up on cure wands. So whatever y'all wanna do is fine.

My tendency is to split the cash, and trust that the magical gear will even out over time.

If we are splitting the cash... it is now 910 gp/ 5 pc's = 182 gp each.

~~~

On another topic, would it be too much to ask for a "To Do" list, GM Nel? Maybe post it under "Campaign Info. I like the sandbox setting, but my head is spinning from all the options. It's hard to prioritize.

~~~

Is Hermia still around? We haven't heard from her much since she said Paizo was giving her trouble.


All up to you of course.

For quests, I'll try to keep a list updated here, every time something changes. Currently:

Open Quests:
Find Bokken the Alchemist - no reward
Find a Tatzlwyrm head - 600 gp
Find the Temple of the Elk - free spellcasting from Jhod
Kobolds in the hills - 800 gp from swordlords
Svetlana's Ring - 1000 gp in trading post credit
Falgrim Sneeg - 4 or 2 masterwork weapons if captured alive or dead

does that work for now?

Grand Lodge

HP 18/18 | AC 16/20 (T 15, FF 12) | CMD 15 | Fort +2 | Ref +6 | Will +5 | Init +4 | Perc +6 Elf Sorcerer 4

Whoops, I miscounted PC's. With Hermia we're 6 now.

1st distribution was 5 PC's-- 110.7 gp each

2nd distribution is 6 PC's-- 161.67 gp each

That is if we are divvying loot. If majority rules in favor of party treasure, that's cool too.

~~~

Small thing... how much did my 3 outfits (2 working, 1 dress up) cost?

~~~

And the list helps. Thanks


Female Human Cleric 1

Sorry guys. After three years we finally finished an AP at table recently. Been a lot of going back and forth between home and table that kinda made me tired on most fronts. And my husband has recently kicked off another campaign as well. I'll get to where we should be soonish, sometime today at least.


Female Human Cleric 1

off to kill goblins.


Male Human Fighter 3

Have we kept an account of cure light wounds potions? If not, I'll have to search the thread. I think I have one. Might buy another.

Grand Lodge

HP 18/18 | AC 16/20 (T 15, FF 12) | CMD 15 | Fort +2 | Ref +6 | Will +5 | Init +4 | Perc +6 Elf Sorcerer 4

At the end of the first distribution, all six of us were given one. (if you had others and/or drank one since then, i'm not sure.)

~~~

Mornie, a clarification: Did you mean to head to the hex east of us first, and then to the hex currently southeast of us? Or did you mean to head directly (in an exploratory fashion) to the hex to the southeast?

Either is fine, just wanna be clear.

General consensus after the first loot list seemed to be that everyone has one CLW potion (maybe Norn got two), and I think noone has drunk one yet.

So I'd think, with those potions, Hermia as our primary source of healing power and both Mornaura and Norn as emergency support (one CLW spell and LoH, respectively), we got that covered quite well.

But by all means, it's your money, so if you feel safer with another potion, go for it. ;)

------

@Dris: I meant to go straight east first so that we got that corner. Then south(-south-west) from there.

After that, well, it probably depends on how far we have to go to find those berries. ^^

PS: I just noticed that the whole map doesn't make much sense. Nevermind, we're going to continue to pretend north was straight up and our charter-territory was exactly the area we have on that map (and nothing beyond), right?


I has to be a 100% complete hex to fall into your charter


Male Human Fighter 3

I'll pass on the healing potion, as long as you all promise to try to put Humpty Dumpty together again.


Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

The game doesn't count those 5/6 hexes on the right border as part of our charter?
That's strange, since our charter doesn't mention "hexes", an by approximation... Ah, anyway. Do we just count them as explored whenever we explore the hex next to 'em?

Southwest is the only direction we can go, then...


yeah, thats what i'm doing. Technically you can go east "off the map" if you want. It's the territory chartered to one of the other groups of people Restov sent. I got the material to what is there >=)

Basically each "Row" of hexes has 6 hexes that are actually part of your charter, if that helps


I'm here. I was out this weekend due to the long weekend and dragoncon but back now!


Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

Welcome back, then. :)

Oh, and... just out of curiosity... is there anything interesting in the "not quite our territory"-hexes? ;)


Male Human Fighter 3

I'm starting to suspect that GM Nel is some sort of bigwig. Jetting to conventions, running games. . . . You aren't Matt Vancil, are you?


No secret identity, sorry. Just a PFS addict, and Gencon and Dragoncon have a huge presence. And I'm local to Dragon*Con so...

Morn, you are welcome to go "off map". It is all covered in the Kingmaker AP, so I have the material. :P

HP 18/18 | AC 16/20 (T 15, FF 12) | CMD 15 | Fort +2 | Ref +6 | Will +5 | Init +4 | Perc +6 Elf Sorcerer 4

Welcome Back!

Gonna wait if/until Kaeso posts with any discoveries before posting there.

And "I have no secret identity" is just what a person with a secret identity would say.


And thankfully no other cons planned until late November :P


Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

@all: Well, alright, I'd want to explore those "almost all the way in our territory" hexes, given that our ingame charter mentions a rectangular area of x by z miles and no hexes. :)

@Dris: Yeah, since Kaeso and/or Bingo are digging (and we are busy watching them), one of them should probably be allowed to "find" the stuff. ^^

Grand Lodge

HP 18/18 | AC 16/20 (T 15, FF 12) | CMD 15 | Fort +2 | Ref +6 | Will +5 | Init +4 | Perc +6 Elf Sorcerer 4

So here's the list (presuming we were able to identify it all correctly). Shall we see who wants what?

silver ring worth 75 gp <-- Party Treasure ?

cloak of resistance +1

masterwork dagger

wand of burning hands (CL 2nd, 4 charges)

masterwork warhammer <-- Kaeso ?

spellbook <-- Mornie ? Drispeera can't use.
. . .identify, mage armor, reduce person, silent image, unseen servant

an ioun stone **more info??**

Drispeera is interested in the cloak of resistance, the wand of burning hands, and perhaps the ioun stone. Not that she expects to get them all, but those are the items she would like.

. . .identify, mage armor, reduce person, silent image, unseen servant

ioun torch

Drispeera is now interested in the cloak of resistance and the wand of burning hands. The ioun stone should go to someone who doesn't see well in dim light.


Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

While most of the spells in that book are on the witch spell list, Mornaura actually can't learn them. I double checked: only other familiars and scrolls are allowed in the witch familiar gain extra spell paragraph. :/

But, ya know, I got an unlimited use hex lately, so you can take the wand. :)

Seems like. Too bad. :(

Seems like so. But got someone else already interested to jump in as replacement. Seeing how the week shakes out first.


Female Half-Elf Witch 4 — HP: 27/27

Well, if you check her profile, you can find out the time of her last post (to avoid time zone confusion: her last post is stamped ~30 hours before this one).

What you also find out is that she's DMing another PBP on these boards (that's where the last post is from), plus some reasons for her abscence which she mentions in that post and the one before it.

So... I wouldn't worry too much, she'll come back eventually. Maybe we should send her a PM to check if everything's alright...?

PS: Have we decided who's gonna be head of our future kingdom's CIA/USSS/NSA-equivalent agency yet?

PPS: I also happen to know where most of you live. ;)

HP 18/18 | AC 16/20 (T 15, FF 12) | CMD 15 | Fort +2 | Ref +6 | Will +5 | Init +4 | Perc +6 Elf Sorcerer 4

Well, if she does come back, I'll continue to be polite. But she seemed to have some issue with me/Drispeera that had her snarking at me a lot. I would hope she would clear it up with me so we could move on.

But honestly, I would rather have the new recruit.

In the interest of full disclosure, he's a friend of mine from a Jade Regent campaign. He's a fun, experienced gamer, who posts regularly. And he's wanted to be in a Kingmaker campaign for a long while.

(Unlike someone who's currently in 3 Kingmaker games! I did some research too ;))

But that's just one vote. So if Hermia shows and y'all want her back, that's fine. I'll be courteous to her.

GM Nel said he might consider adding my friend in either case, if it was alright with y'all. He's fun. You'll like him.
