Anybody got any objection to heading straight to the Horgus estate?
Vardan Argider |
None here
Godwin Solace |
I think a majority says we're squatting at Horgus!
Godwin Solace |
So I think we know what we're doing the next day right?
Vardan Argider |
By which he means proceed bravely, pressing onward. ;)
Drakra Worpltng |
No, Drakra means finding some place save and hiding as long as it takes from someone to come and rescue him. Unfortunately, it seems the real heroes have other people to rescue, so Drakra will eventually agree to continue this dangerous expedition.

Since we know where the manor is at least we won't have to try and find our way around. Looking at the map seems like Anevia's house should be on the way to Defender's Heart.
Vardan Argider |
It's worth trying, if nothing else. Of course, that assumes there's no new rift/fissure.
Godwin Solace |
Manor first. Only one we are certain how to get to.
Vardan Argider |
Agreed
Godwin Solace |
Hope everything is all good GM.

It's good, just busy. I was just made PM for a major project here, and it's pretty busy and chaotic trying to get everything balanced. I'm also a baseball coach and tryouts just started, so trying to find any time for anything else is tough. It should level out shortly, and I'll post regular again, probably at night mostly. I appreciate you all bearing with me while I push through this.
Please buckle your seatbelts there's a bit of turbulence ahead. We'll be looking for clearer air in a few minutes ;)
Godwin Solace |
Cool cool :)
Godwin Solace |
Think we're pretty much waiting for Anevia to do something right guys?
Vardan Argider |
I believe so... and agree with Drakra's assessment.
Vardan Argider |
All good.
Godwin Solace |
Looks like only Fomiel to go?
Godwin Solace |
Think we're just waiting for the defenders to respond. Godwin said the password so hopefully that's all good.
GM Shathira |
Sorry for that brief absence. My Mother just bought a house here in WI, moving from CA and she needed us for emergency meetings to get things finalized, (house appraisal, inspection etc). I know it's been tough over the last bit, just bear with me, lots of upheaval (mostly good :D ) on this end. (also work blocked quite a bit of what I use to manage the game! grrrr...)
Godwin Solace |
Good things are good GM.
I'll take a CMW. Already have one invisibility potion. I'll carry the Ransuer as well.

So, want to ask an opinion of the group. I like the way that 5e handles magic item identifying, with the atunement idea. While I'm not going to adopt the atunement per se, I do like the idea that if someone studies a magic item during a time of rest, they become familiar enough with the item (provided it's one they can use) that the learn the properties. I will also say this though. If an item is cursed, or intelligent and would start a clash of wills, that period would be enough to have that happen. Someone with Kn Arcana knows enough, from study in their past, to recognize an item by markings, runes, etc, that they don't have to stay as close to the item that any baneful effects would take place. An Identify spell will give complete knowledge of an item and also not trigger any baneful side effects.
As an example, this would allow Godwin, if he were to take time during a rest to "get to know" the Ranseur. By practicing with it, feeling the differences between this one and others he's used, etc. It would also allow him, through trial and error, to figure out any other properties it has.
This would differ from the "use magic item" skill, in that it will NOT allow someone to determine stats/abilities of a magic item that they can't use. ie. A fighter, no matter how much time he spends with a wand, would not be able to figure out what it does, unless he spent points in "use magic item" (unless it were cursed. Which would make them good magical mine detectors I guess. Might not work out so well for the party though. ;) )
I'd like to add that as a house rule, if everyone agrees.
Godwin Solace |
Sure, it's worth a trial at least.
Vardan Argider |
I've no problem giving that a whirl...
... also, I'll be out of town until Monday -- so Vardan won't be all talky for a while. ;)
Godwin Solace |
I'm going to let Drakra take the lead on this one as Godwin's just going to refuse the money.....
Vardan Argider |
Some of us holy types are somewhat more pragmatic that others. ;)
Godwin Solace |
Hrm. My character sheet might be out of date but Godwin only has 18 gp to spend unless we got 1K for checking the Manor or something.
Godwin Solace |
I think we're decided on the tower and also that we're too poor to buy anything!
We're not too low level to handle the tower are we?
Godwin Solace |
Anyone have any issue with moving in to the tower?
Vardan Argider |
None here -- unless someone's got a secret pile of loot I've forgotten about?
Godwin Solace |
Oh my! Completely forgot to level up. Doing it now!
Godwin Solace |
Leveled. Lev 3 is an interesting one for warpriests. No class changes but a Bonus Feat plus the Normal Feat, a +1 reflex save and the HP and skill (lol) bump of course.
Threw the (2) skill points into Intimidate to round out Godwin's social side. Picked up the necessary Power Attack but also Additional Traits because Fate's Favored is really powerful for warpriests and Purity of Faith is thematic in any case.
