Wow - So sorry to hear you guys got robbed. Tis the season I fear. Glad they did not try it while you were at hime…
Eesh, that sucks :( Nothing like a Christmas burglary. Glad to see you're doing alright.
Grinched. That sucks. Maybe their heart will grow three sizes and return your stuff.
I thought this guy WAS the pauper.

That would explain some of my confusion. :)
Do we really just let this guy walk? Chances are good that he will come back to haunt us. That said, Saphren is at that young and impressionable stage of character development. If he starts killing for convenience now, it might stick. :)
Today is going to be my Christmas with my son, so I won't be making a gameplay post until tomorrow. Should post sometime early-ish tomorrow afternoon.
Merry Christmas!
Please note, tomorrow will be another significant travel day for me, and I may be unable to post at all. I should be able to return to routine posting on Monday.
Tomorrow is the last big travel day of my holiday season. Should be back to normal posting on Saturday. Thanks for your patience.
I did get a PM from Magnus who has a medical emergency and is recovering. He will return to post when able. I have not see or heard from Blossom in a while. I am afraid she may have gone missing.
Not so much missing as still suffering from Holiday fatigue. Christmas was fun but wearing, but then I got slammed with covering a lot of extra shifts at work. Financially helpful but very draining. I will read the gameplay posts & see if I can add something.
At any rate, I'm glad you're back!
As am I.
All caught up, with three games to go! My lung collapsed on boxing day and I spent most of my holidays cancelling plans and sorting out my enrollment over summer. In the end though, it didn't take me out of action for too long, or leave much of a dent in my holiday... and in lieu of surgery they just put me on observation and are watching it re-inflate naturally.
I've got two to three weeks left of classes, and it's been really taking it out of me. Nonetheless I should be able to post again, and once they've finished I have another five weeks of holiday ahead of me.
How were your holidays? Has everybody seen the new Hobbit film yet?
End of Day
EDIT:IT was end of 18 Gozreh 4709, tomorrow will be 19 Gozreh.
I have found that keeping that kind of information in the Campaign Info thread often makes it easier to find on quick notice. It's hardly critical, but can help reduce future...
?aggravations?
Just as a heads-up to you I have no internet at home as I live in a remote rural area and my high-speed comes from a wireless tower. Which has been snapped in half by a wind storm. So... a few days without internet at home, and unless it restores on the weekend there'll be no activity from me on the weekend.
Twigs - glad to see you're up and about! Collapsed lungs are terrifying. Christmas was quiet and pleasant. Cooked a goose. Twas nice.
I have never had goose. Duck does not impress me though. Am I missing anything?

Good advice. 'Twill be done.
Goose is beefier than chicken or turkey. I like it, and I also like duck a lot. The fat also is delicious.
Goose fat is culinary gold. I have a liter full of it in the fridge which gets used for everything from pastry crusts to confit to french fries.
And if you don't like duck, you don't like goose. Goose fat is universally loved.
Duck fat is not so good to me. Maybe I just need a better cook to prepare it. Can I come over for dinner? :)
As Blossom knows Identify, she can determine what the potions are. Of course, if there are more than three it will take more than a day.
Detect magic would work as well if you have a good spellcraft bonus. Looks like you have 9 so a 19 will work unless the caster level is more than 4.
Can't tell I rarely play casters, can you?
Hrm, perhaps we can assume we confiscated their weapons but not their armour? Stripping down every thug seems a bit excessive.
If we're going to keep a loot tracker, I was thinking we could assume IC that it's within Magnus' little black book, because I want the chance to play up the grubby little miser he is.
I like Magnus as the group miser, seems like a good fit. Also, just as a heads-up my internet is out at home and so I'm only able to post from work until they get the infrastructure fixed up. Stupid wind.
Here are the armor and weapons of the guys you faced in the Mission included is the PRD value, you should be able to sell for half:
Leather Armor x2 (10gp ea = 20 gp)
Rapier x2 (20gp ea = 40 gp)
Dagger x4 (2gp ea= 8gp)
Studded leather x3 (25 gp ea=75gp)
Short sword x2 (10gp ea = 20 gp)
longbow (75gp)
15 arrows (8 sp)
MW morningstar (308 gp, claimed by Saphren)
pouch of flayleaf (appraised at 12 gp street value)
33 gp, 8 sp
The items add to 238.8 without the flayleaf or the MW morningstar. This means your sale value would be 119.4 gp adding in the cash means the haul is 153.2 gp divided 5 ways = 30.64 gp per person (unless someone claims something).
If you want to sell the MW morningstar or the flayleaf LMK.
Ok, before I take this any further, I wanted to let everyone know where I'm going with this so you guys can let me know if I'm pushing outside your comfort zone.
Blossom is still kind of pissed...
Well more annoyed really, with Reva.
She is basically 'pranking' her to see how well she can handle it. If Reva can keep her composure for the next week or so, Blossom will consider her sufficiently chastised. Of course, in a week, there could very easily be someone else who has made it to the top of Blossom's list & she will likely forget about Reva.
But I just wanted to give you guys the opportunity to say 'Not cool' or something to that effect if it starts getting too lewd. Or you want to avoid it getting any lewder than it has already.
OK, I'll respond.
You are pissed because she did not respond positively to your attempt to flirt? Why do you think the correct reaction to someone not being interested in you sexually is anger, or even annoyance?
Yes, I do think this is not cool. I could continue to ignore it, but you continue to ask, so I am letting you know.
I am all about role playing and developing character relationships. And I am even ok with it becoming sexual. But once someone has expressed that they are not interested, then further behavior in that direction is harassment. The only game I have ever quit was due to someone's continued advances at my character. To me its creepy and not fun.

EDIT:
Saphren does not need to hold onto the Morning Star. So unless someone else needs it lets sell it. I had forgotten that he has weapon focus in his Falchion so the masterwork morning star does not increase his to-hit.
He is fine selling the flay leaf as well. He would not object too strongly if someone insisted it be destroyed though.
Gah, accidentally deleted my post. Reva won't have an opinion on loot and will let Saphren/Magnus split things up and give her her share. She'll speak up if she wants something.
As for Blossom, I don't mind sexual behavior if it is PG in keeping with the spirit of the boards. Harassing behavior, which is a careful line to tread should in no way be tolerated. I'm not personally bothered by Blossom's actions, but another person very much may be and there's something to be said about the tone of the game.
So I guess keep things friendly. Reva is a prude and its easy to torment her about that. Nude calisthenics is fine. Aggressive come-ons less so. Please use best judgement. :)
OK, I'll respond.
You are pissed because she did not respond positively to your attempt to flirt?
No, Blossom is still pissed at Reva because when Blossom tried to indicate to Reva back when everyone was being offered the job by Saul & Larur, that perhaps Reva's Goddess might want her/Reva here to keep an eye on things, Reva's response was to get irate & tell her she didn't know what she was talking about.
Being Calistrian, Blossom's response was to take Reva down a peg. Since Calistria & her followers have been known to combine her purview's of Lust, Revenge & Trickery, but Blossom is Chaotic Good, I'm trying to ride the line between 'Oh no she !' & 'Boss, we need to talk about Hostile Work Environments.'
It sounds like I've crossed that line, which is why I posted my explanation. Thank you everyone for giving me an honest answer & I will moderate Blossom's behavior accordingly.
For the record, assuming she survives long enough, Blossom's revenge against Clegg Zincher is going to be epic...
edit: The flirting was actually the beginning of Blossom's revenge plan. If it had been successful, she was just going to rock Reva's world, dump her the next morning & call it good.
As I understand it, 'word on high' is that Elves don't seem to have any body hair below the eyebrows.
Which from a biological standpoint also goes a ways towards explaining their below-average Constitution, since among other things human body hair helps with regulating temperature & other things that mechanically would be a part of that.
Yes, I'm that much of a gamer geek...
Uh, is that a yes, no, thank you, what?

If you are asking about body hair, that would be a no.
I was actually wondering what the dot meant. But thank you.

Oh. If you don't do some editing of your post when you have a quote in it, whatever comes right after the quote starts right under it & it's sometimes hard to figure where one ends & the other begins. Consequently, I habitually put a . inside ooc formatting before my post, that helps to break them up & make it obvious which is which.
Oh. I see. Wayfinder didn't display the text under the dot for some reason. Sorry for any confusion.

No worries. The more I know about how things work for everyone else, the better able I am to recognize signal-to-noise ratio.

You asked if everyone was okay with it, and someone responded they would prefer a different approach. I am assuming you will honor that request and dial back the sexuality and the aggressiveness from this point forward?
Thanks for checking in advance and respecting the wishes of the other players.

Yes, the point of this character is to have fun, not to have fun at others expense.
The ?funny? thing is that the first time I played Blossom in the Second Darkness campaign that died before we really even got to the first encounter was that the other players were expressing the opinion that I wasn't acting lascivious & spiteful enough...Guess I went too far the other way this time. Still working on a happy medium. Thank you everyone for your patience.
Unfortunately, it looks like the only one of those that might be on Blossom's list beside Mage Armor is , and since she already has Cure Light Wounds, that spell is not especially appealing to her.
If she fails the Spellcraft check for the Jill to learn Mage Armor, she might take you up on that offer, but let's hold off 'til then. Thank you.
Any guidance as to who took the second wand of Shocking Grasp, or the two potions of Spider Climb, or the rope and grappling hook. If you want to sell, we can accommodate that during some of this downtime as well, RP or off camera.
Saphren would love at least one of the potions of Spider climb. He'd take the rope and grapple too if its not claimed.
As Shocking Grasp is not on her list, Blossom won't be overly interested in it. If Trig doesn't want both, I recommend we sell it.
Ah, I was thinking Blossom could deliver it from reach with her hair, but not if she has to UMD every time. Trig will take the one with more charges, and we can sell the other.
Saphren can have the rope and grapple, Trig just took it as an impulse, and regretted it as soon as she tried to pick it up. (It's heavy!)
While I will be more than happy if Doctor Evil rules otherwise, I don't believe I can take ten on that roll. At least, the GM's on the few other occasions when I have played Witches have not allowed it for that purpose.
Maybe they had a house rule, but you're not in combat, threatened, or distracted, and there's no specific rule against it as there is for, say, UMD.

Sorry for the delay in getting posts up, my company bought a competing company on Monday and the merging is time consuming. Should get yours done tomorrow.
Sounds exciting.
I took a class in my MBA program called Mergers and Acquisitions. The first day of the class the professor comes in, introduces himself and explains "First thing I want you to know is there is no such thing as a Merger." His point was that one company is always dominant, even when the plan is to merge.
