GM Samy's Belles' Vengeance

Game Master Samy

Lol, "just following orders", how appropriate for the Evil AP.

Alright, we now have enough gold to pitch in on a CLW wand IMHO. If we all live to level, I'm going to have Breeze pick up a level of cleric or shaman or urban Druid or something to get some healing on her list so she can use the wand for us.

Edit: on second thought, I think going (Sanctified Slayer) Inquisitor would be the best call for Breeze. It dovetails really nicely with her rogue abilities and even grants more sneak attack later on!

I think a Wand of Infernal Healing would be better so Aevelyn can cast it instead. This way you can focus on your rogue skills. Aevelyn will get few skill points so the others have to pick up the slack here.

If you do decide to go the Sanctified Slayer route then Shiloh can keep Valrah in the scout role. Not a bad call there :)

You are right. Infernal Healing is definitely the way to go. I do think I'm going to splash a bit of the SS Inquisitor. That way I can help with condition removal if we find scrolls or wands.

I will have that spell after we level. Alternatively if the game goes long enough we could get a dedicated healer cohort.

Breeze it is your character, just like we told Nysene, play her how you want to. I am fine taking Valrah down the scout or front-liner route. Both greatly appeal to me. This is the first time I have genuinely gotten to play with a summoner so I kind of want to do it all.

The first time I got to try one out I went with a mounted build but that game lasted one session.

I echo the recommendation to play what you will. This adventure has a lot of 15 minute adventuring days so even a minor healer can pretty much heal up the group a lot of the time.

Poke Poke!

Still here!!

I am also still here.

Also here!

By the way, Aevelyn/Turel wanted me to mention that he's been out of town this weekend and probably won't be back until sometime tomorrow afternoon/evening so we probably won't see any posts from him until then.

Hey, I'm feeling a bit stressed right now due to holiday stuff, work, and trying to keep up with my sleep. Bot Nysene as needed but otherwise my posting the next several days will be as I can and as I feel like it.

I hope you get to feeling better dear.

I think it's time to consider a holiday break with this game too. Unless at least three of you express interest to continue over the holidays I recommend taking a holiday break on this game too.

Thanks and sorry for coming off a bit grumpy earlier! If everyone else wants to keep playing over the holidays then please don't let me slow the roll; I'm happy to try and post as I can and I trust everyone here to bot me if necessary :)

Aww, Nysene you did not come across grumpy and you should not need to apologize for life happening.

As to Samy suggestion. I can go either way.

I'm fine with the group think. If we want to take a break, I'm fine with that. I'll still be on the boards a couple times a day, I'm sure, if anyone wants to chat!

While I am still available to post here, I am perfectly happy with taking a break here, as work/holidays is taking up a lot of my time.

Awesome! I love leveling!

It'll take me a couple days to get Breeze advanced. Unless someone else feels the need, I'll have her take a level in Inquisitor so we can use wands of the necessary curative spells.

Samy, I have forgotten. Do we gain a point or two to an attribute every level with you, or is it every other level?

Two attribute points per one level.

LEVEL UP:

+2 WIS
HP Roll: 1d4 ⇒ 2
+1 BAB
+1 Will
+1 1st level spell per day
Cantrip known (Message)
Skills (+1 to each)
Bluff
Diplomacy
Knowledge (Local)
Perception
Use Magic Device

Woohoo! Will try to get Nysene leveled up within the next day or so; she's currently one of three PbP characters that have gained a level this week so I've got my work cut out for me hehe.

Yay! I will get on that.

Level Up!
HP: 1d10 ⇒ 8 + 4 Con = 12 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Fort
FCB: +1 Skill Point
Cavalier Order Ability: Oppress
+5 Skill Points (Diplomacy, Intimidate, Kn. Local, Kn. Planes, Sense Motive)

Think that's everything!

*edit* Oops, the +2. Hum...let's bump up that Int score a bit. Nysene's Int increases from 6 to 8.

Is that +2 a lump sum or can I split it between two stats?

You can split.

Level 2:

Inquisitor 1 (I guess Asmodeous, if I can't find someone I like better)
Hit points 1d8 ⇒ 4
+2 Fort +2 Will
Still picking my domain
Judgment 1/day
Monster Lore
Orisions
Spells
Stern Gaze
Skills: Disable Device, Bluff, know. Local, Perception, Sense Motive.

+1 to Strength
+1 to Intelligence

Dex and Con both go up by one.
HP: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1 Wow just wow. So that is a 1 right? I am so far from melee. Once hit and I am down.
Will save goes up to +3 and reflex up to +0.
Bab of +1
-Planes, Arcana, Local, History, Bluff-
level o spell is message.
level 1 spell is undecided. No clue what I want. This is the list on d20pfsrd and I get one. Already have mage armor and rejuvenate eidolon (lesser)
alarm, ant haul, blurred movement, compel hostility, corrosive touch, daze monster, endure elements, enlarge person, expeditious retreat, feather fall, glue seal, grease, icicle dagger, identify, jump, jury-rig, life conduit, long arm, mage armor, magic fang, magic mouth, mount, obscuring mist, protection from chaos/evil/good/law, ray of sickening, reduce person, rejuvenate eidolon (lesser), shield, summon minor monster, summon monster I, unfetter, unseen servant, ventriloquism.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Samy might allow a reroll on a 1.

I have decided on following Norgorber, to play up the rogue side. He seems like a good follow for a rogue. I am taking the Trickery domain, doubling down on the roguish feel.

The trickery domain is one of my favourites!

That's a 1. I won't allow a reroll on 1, because I am so incredibly easy on you in several other ways, like you can put your levelup attribute increases to Con, and you can use Ultimate Campaign hit point retraining, so you have lots of ways to boost your hit points.

Bah! I instigated hard mode and I am fine with it. I have a very impressive four hit points and I will have to be careful. Which should be fun :)

Grease might be a handy spell for us, Shiloh. With us having less HP than most groups, there will be times that we just have to run away. Laying a Grease down behind us might let that happen easier.

Along those same lines Daze Monster would also help, though it only works against one foe. Still it might just give us the edge to run away.

I think I will go with grease. Level two is gonna need to include the communal version of the protection from either good or law because that is awesome. Samy since you have somethings being done old school is grease still not flammable?

Hopefully we will run across a wand or two of those tasty low levels spells we would all like to know in a perfect world!

Totally random tangent but you know what spell is awesome in a party with a bard? Moment of Greatness.

I'm gonna say Grease is not flammable since Mythic Grease specifically calls out that you have to use it to make the grease flammable.

That's fair. Figured it would not hurt to ask.

Where are each of you staying, by the way?

The Ash House is free to squat in. Cimri is staying there.

There are two tavern/inns in Longacre

* The Arch and Lark is more upscale and expensive and caters more to travelers

* The Last Stand is more blue-collar and caters more to locals

Since Breeze is a local, it's more than reasonable that she has some accommodations of her own, either renting or squatting somewhere.

Nailing these down for each of you -- or at least knowing if any of you are staying at the Last Stand -- would be good now.

We may have addressed this before but I can't find it right now.

I don't want to presume for both Shiloh and Nysene, but Aevelyn would have stayed at the Arch and Lark when she first arrived in Longacre, but now since all of us are a team we would need to stay together. The Ash House would be the ideal place IMO.

Arch and Lion makes perfect sense and yes staying together is safer buts "We are not squatters. Besides that building is a death trap."

"Actually considering our new status as the Baron's new authority figures, I suspect the Ash House is the safest place for us to stay. We will make few friends in town I do suspect!"

I'd assume Breeze would be more comfortable at The Ash House for the time being. She might have a little room somewhere, but with she being friends with Cimri and earning good coin with the group, she'd want to learn more about them.

Yeah, I kinda figured that Nysene would stay wherever Aevelyn and Shiloh are staying. The Ash House makes the most sense for now, though as the game progresses I suspect we might have to take steps to make sure we aren't followed and/or that the place is secure.

Unless Razelago & Co. are already on it, of course.

*sigh* Got called in to work today, so just bot me as needed. I'll catch up when I get home tonight.

Hey guys, I'm going to be pulling 12s at work for the next three days so you may not see much in the way of posts from me during that time. I'll try to check in/keep up as much as I can but it may not be until Friday night or Saturday before I'll get caught up. As always, feel free to bot me for combat/skill checks as needed!

Hey folks, I've been giving it some thought over the past several days and I've come to the realization that I've (very slowly) allowed myself to get overwhelmed with PbP games. I'd been doing a fair job of keeping up with them all but with my work schedule as erratic as it is (and probably will be for the foreseeable future) and some other things that have happened this past week, I've found myself falling behind on a lot of games and in some cases even avoiding posting by doing other stuff. Rather than let them all suffer, I've made the decision to let some of my games go so I can focus on others. Sadly, this will be one of the games I say goodbye to.

This is not a reflection on you Samy or any of the other players - simply a case of having to make cuts somewhere and having to narrow them down as best as I was able. Hopefully we're still early enough into the story that getting a replacement player won't be too big of a hassle and you're welcome to use (or horribly murder) Nysene as you see fit. Oh and don't worry, I'm not planning to drop out of Mummy's Mask so you'll still see plenty of me as Aleris :)

Thanks for the fun game everyone and I'm sorry for just sort of 'springing' this on you out of the blue.

No worries! Thanks for playing!!
