GM Tarondor's Emerald Spire Campaign

Game Master Tarondor

Oh god, PLEASE take your time to rest and recover! We'll wait as long as it takes.

Rest easy. We'll be here.

Salamanders may be immune to fire, but I'd like to imagine that was a sick burn? :P

Anyone who thinks I should avoid accepting this challenge for single combat, speak now or forever hold your peace!

<Looks innocently at the sky.>

Nope! Frizz is ready to jump in though. Right now she's Sneaking. :)

It's anniversary weekend so we'll be at Cedar Point. If you've never been, it's worth a google search.
I may get one more post in tonight.

Happy Anniversary! Yours is much cooler than mine was!

I'm not gonna fall because of the perceived dishonor, am I?

"Perceived?" I'd say that depends on how you address the insult to your honor. You are Erastil's champion. What would the god think about this fight?

I know that different gamers view paladinhood very differently so let me say that the fall of a paladin is only going to happen when he or she is confronted with a clear-cut moral choice and they make the easy or selfish choice. There won't be any accidental or incidental falls from grace: "Whoops! I'm late on my rent! Damn, there goes my powers." A fall from grace should be a massively important story event, not the equivalent of slipping in the tub.

Listen he already had the fire armor on and was using spells for advantage. If I opened up on this guy like donkey Kong then maybe that would be bad

Sorry, popping in to say I'm busy with PaizoCon and will posting again early in the week!

Of course!

And I've said it before but thank you for all the hard work you and the others did on Knights of Lastwall! EASILY my all-time favorite book in 2e and maybe all of Pathfinder! :D

That's quite a recommendation! I haven't cracked mine yet, but it's in the (depressingly huge) queue of things I want to read!

This is why I asked if anyone objected to the suggestion of a duel...experience has shown me that a PC 1v1ing nearly any monster is a really dumb idea...at least this time I'm not as likely to outright die...

You must be you and that is never stupid to Jharun. Taking on a bigger bad thing is what champions do!

So true! 1e, this would have been a much deadlier attempt. I'm glad that 2e allows for some wiggle room here.

Super cool visual!

Of course!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it and will pass your praise on! I don't have my print copy in hand yet, but I'm looking forward to giving it a proper read.

What parts came from you, so I may praise you for them? :P

Oh, wow, let me sift back in my memory here. For Knights of Lastwall I wrote...

- Avalorax
- Gods: Arqueros, Kols, Vildeis
- All avatar forms
- Lastwall Sentry and all its feats
- Knightly Training and all its feats
- All the spells
- And the Eye of Dread region

It was real nice to see Kols get some development too. The dwarven pantheon is slowly, steadily stepping out of Torag's shadow, I feel! Arqueros was awesome too! The art was quite different from what I expected, I was just kind of expecting "giant suit of plate armor with no clear indication of who's inside" like you generally see from tanky-defender-type characters but this art gave him some real personality!

And I can't wait to try out all them cool spells and feats! :D

Folks:

I'm sorry to have been away. My recovery from COVID is going poorly and leaving me exhausted. If I'm player in your game, please bot me. If I'm the GM - I'll be back in the saddle as soon as I can.

Take your time friend and rest easy. We'll be here.

BTW, just was texting with Tarondor. He is fine but exhausted with enough energy to work but not much else. Just wanted to relay the message.

I figured, and I'm glad he's at least okay!

Yeah rest up buddy we want you well!

Hey folks! My strength is slowly returning and I am going to try to get back to gaming today or tomorrow. Please forgive a slow start, but I will do as my strength allows.

We forgive all! We're just glad you're okay!

Please rest up and continue to get better!

To clarify, Wymond's not feeling ashamed of himself or anything. He's treating this as a "live and learn" moment.

I wasn't saying it to cure being ashamed but to let you know your actions even when you think them careless are accepted

Not again...

G+&!@$mit not again...

We've got you!

As a partial cleric can I still change my spells to healing spells?

Do I also get domain spells or a domain bonus like for healing? I whipped it all together fast and am still trying to figure it all out

I don't think you can hotswap like a full cleric but it looks like "You can prepare your deity’s spells in your spell slots of the appropriate level from the cleric archetype."

I think the biggest advantage for Wiz/Cleric is the Divine spell list and more slots to cast from.

As always though, pending GM call on this one.

Frizz is right. Taking the cleric archetype doesn't give you all the benefits of being a cleric. But it sure is a great archetype to have!

You don't gain the ability to swap out spells, no. Nor do you gain any domain spells unless you spend a feat to get them.

Ok if I create cozy cabin with the door facing away from the serpent's against the doorway they would be unable to enter the cabin and we could rest inside. The problem is getting the party into the cabin itself.

If I can hit them with hypnotic pattern they may be dazzed while in the field and I could drag you out and then cast the cabin. This is what I will try

I'm open to ideas. I'll be lucky if Frizz survives another onslaught.

Fingers crossed...here's hoping those snake-dudes fail their save so we can try to bail...

Be clear about where you want to build the Cozy Cabin, please, because it is 20'x20' and can't be erected in the 10' wide corridor.

Right is the previous room large enough to put the cabin up? Also sorry been in and out for father's day weekend.

Also I do apologize for not fully listing the spell and will do so in the future. I trapped my arm between the dock and my boat last week and pinched a nerve in my writing arm pretty badly so I have been slow

If you mean the forge, yes it is large enough.

Also, ouch! Hope you are okay soon.

Can we get a group consensus here on what the hey hey we are doing?

I vote we fight!

I can cast haste on a person to get them to flank or cast illusiary creature to flank with you but that is it besides cozy cabin and cantrips besides casting mirror image on myself

Gonna wait and see if the thing's still standing after that Retributive Strike before actually attacking. :)

His name is Mergatroid Masaflappie and he's got a used magic carpet for you! A Carpet for all shapes and sizes, priced to move off the lot!

Is that a reference of some kind? I don't get the joke. o_0

It's a loose reference to Aladin the Disney Cartoon at the beginning
