GM WhtKnt's Darkness Within: A Carrion Crown Adventure Path

Game Master WhtKnt

Use this board for OOC discussion and role-playing, please.

Thanks for having me. :)

So, just so I understand, we can use the Discussion thread for RPing in between story bits?

Yes. The discussion thread is to chat, post vacations or holidays, etc.

Alrighty then.

I'll see if I can figure out this roll 20 stuff when I get home from work tomorrow and am not posting from a phone.

Should one of us PM the other players who haven't checked in yet?

I've sent PMs to them.

Thanks for having me. GM can you get back to me on the questions possed in the recruitment thread?

Sorry, I saw no questions other than the one about a six-person party, and I answered that one.

Helaman here - Character includes a drawback for Rich parents - not sure you are allowing drawbacks or the trait rich parents but happy to modify the character. The draw back I chose is very flavorsome but is definitely a heavy drawback. I'd like some way to "grow" out of it as the campaign (if it runs beyond the 1st book of CC) - not sure if this would require I "pay back" back the wealth (even with "interest" modified by level)

Background etc is in the profile and includes a tie in to Professor Lorrimor and a CC trait. It was originally created with a 20 pt build in mind (adjusted down now) for a Ustalav style homebrew that was very good but didn't run beyond 1st level.

I can live with it. We'll talk about you outgrowing it as the game progresses.

You'll have fun with it... I know I did in the last game I used this character in.

So...um, what kind of creature IS Kibbi anyway?

It's the haunted feature being role played in an innovative way. My hat is off to the player - well played. I confess I too am curious about kibbi

Ooooooh, I thought Kibbi was his familiar.

Sorry I've been taking so long--I'm trying to come up with a good eulogy.

Can't help wishing we had a sorc or wizard along as a 5th but let's see how things go. It may make things tough enough to make things epic.

If one of us dies, what's the protocol for back up characters? A local pharasmite or mercenary turned farmer in semi retirement?

Pretty much. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, but I think that's probably the best way to hand it is with a local. I'm all for allowing replacement characters, so long as the player wishes to continue.

Also, yes, Kibbi is basically a floating skull wrapped in ectoplasm (thinking bubbles from the Zelda series). He's a class feature, but I opted to try playing him as a semi-familiar spirit that Kibbi summoned and just never was able to replicate.

I just read the Haunted curse and thought 'Eh, why not make it something who pesters the hell out of him? That's what the curse already does, right?'

And thus, Kibbi was born. Or... unborn. Or... summoned, whatever.

Also, probably yeah. An interested local who wants to jump into the fray.

What KIND of skull? I'm curious, because I think he's adorable!

If we really DO need a wizard, I suppose we could always get Kendra to tag along as a cohort or something.

My Age of Worms group has managed fine so far without a permanent wizard. I think we can manage. :)

Honestly... I don't know what kind of skull. I was just gonna go with human, but now that I think on it, it could be anything, couldn't it? Maybe a floating kobold skull... or perhaps one from a dire rat?

Also, yeah, we should be good without a straight wizard. I think it'll be more interesting to not have one. A good challenge. Demands some creativity.

If I can comment on here, it kinda feels like this is going a little fast. I'd have liked a bit more time to interact with Kendra and the other funeralgoers before moving to the books.

I agree--I'd also like a chance to interact with Kendra some more.

My apologies. I didn't want anyone to grow restless waiting on me. I will slow the pace just a tad. Also, do feel free to Retro posts as necessary.

Would you like us to put retro posts in spoiler tags?

If you wish, that will keep the flow of things cleaner. However, in future I will try to make sure that everyone has had a chance to post and respond before I move things along.

I have a convention this weekend and will likely not have a chance to post Friday through Sunday. Please remain patient and I will catch up when I return.

Okay, Meenak is hilariously awesome! XD

Crap has hit the fan at work - posting may be erratic for a day or two.

I am going on a working vacation starting on the 30th until July 17 or so. I should be able to get on at least once a day to check in on things, but there may be a day or two without access here or there. (I'm going to Georgia to be with my family and give the grandparents a break from taking care of the niece and nephew.) If you are in my game, please bear with me and I will update as often as possible. If I am in your game and seem slow, you know why. Thanks.

Posting will be on and off as I am on business travel

Sorry, folks. Busy week. I'll try to get an update out today sometime.

No worries, take your time.

Joy of playing a kobold #37: confusing the hell out of your team about simplistic stuff.

Joy of playing opposite a kobold #38: Trying to figure out which of you is the straight man and which is the wise guy. :)

Just another reason why Meenak is awesome!

Waiting on the time lines to Sync.

Ditto...

There will be an unforeseen delay in my moves. My computer went Tango-Uniform today and I lost everything. I will need a little time to get back on my feet. Stay posted and I'll update as soon as I can.

Bit of an unusual question, WhtKnt. Can I change the symbol on Lorant's shield/holy symbol? I just got Occult Adventures and was inspired by a picture in it. I don't think I've actually mentioned it in-game, so I'd just have to edit it on my character sheet.

Yes, no problem with changing the symbol. I will try to get a move up tomorrow or Monday, I think I've finally got my computer back on its feet (though I still lost all my files).

Going to GenCon next week. I will be out of contact from Tuesday, July 28 until Wednesday, Aug 5. We will continue upon my return.

It's going to be a two-barred cross with one bar slanted, like the Primordial Symbol in Occult Adventures, similar to a real-world Orthodox cross.

Okies

Is this game still in progress?

I suspect we need the GM to post a bit to get things jumping on momentum again.

Have we lost our Kobold?

I hope he's just under the table!

Sorry! I knew I was forgetting something! I'm back!

Guys - I am out for a few days - bot me. Will try to post when I can.

Sadly, it would seem that Meenak has left us. Are the rest of you wanting to continue? If so, I will see about a replacement for him. I'll bot Meenak until the replacement can be brought in. I've tried contacting him via PM, but I get no response. If anyone knows another way to reach him, I'd at least like to hear that he is no longer interested in playing.
