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

Game Master WhtKnt

Indeed. My sincerest condolences. This game's been running for literal YEARS, I'm not worried you'd forget about us! :)

Guys, apologies but taking a day.

'Tis cool! Take it easy! :)

I'm well and truly back.

Yey!

We got time to do Judah's suggestion, GM?

Sure. No problem.

Altered Dylan a bit. Changelog:
--Bloodline is now Sphinx, rather then Abyssal
--Background slightly altered. The Sphinx he descends from is demonic and is a vasall of Areshkagal. Honestly, sphinx and being weretiger kin fits pretty well. Once the phantom turns up, she will be more riddly then flirty as well.
--Trait altered. I was apparently confused when I made Dylan, and could have sworn that there was a thing akin to magical knack but for bloodlines, but there isnt (or its some third party thing). I picked chance saviour instead.

Cool

Apologies, away for 2 days.

Back

Welcome back! :)

Lol

Sorry for my absence. I was at a convention all weekend and before that, I managed to break my computer. I have a new one on order and it should be here within three days. Things should return to normal then.

Coolio

Thanks for the update! :)

Posting likely restricted in the next 48 hours with work and other issues.

Back... it's been a strange 2 days

I've been busy the past couple of days too! I got nominated for an award at work, so I got to go to a party for that, and the day after I went to see the play my sister directed with her students!

Coool!

I am apparently really great at making people laugh an had some absolutely insane episodes in another game.

Whats the comman for the spooky formatting?

Spooky formatting?

It's Zalgo Text. I copy and paste it from offsite. There's a few different sites for it, but this one is my favorite.

Nice!

Ah, cool.

I've just realized I have a problem: I have no real means to fight incorporeal things, especially since I've burned my only spell right now...

Yep, we may well have to do a runner AND invest in oil of magic weapon potions. Doesn't help now BUT is good to plan.

As an alchemist, you can make Ghost Salt weapon blanche for pretty cheap.

It's only good for one hit per application, but it's great for ammunition, including bombs.

It looks like we can't fight incorporeal things right now, so I'm on board with running. We need to rest anyway.

Dylans claws are magic, if someone gets some mage armor on him he can probably duke it out.

Good to know

Sorry for the radio silence this weekend, folks! Gateway issues kept me from posting. Plus, Mother Nature decided to play an April Fool's joke on us by dumping about 8 or so inches of dense, wet snow on us, causing power outages that threw off my sleep cycle due to my CPAP going offline, we weren't able to get out of our garage because of said outage, so we couldn't shovel the driveway immediately, and when we did try to shovel it it was a real struggle due to how heavy and wet the snow was. I finally limped into work about 3 hours late, and stayed late too. Leaving me tired, cranky and sore when I finally got home. Very funny, Mother Nature. Ha ha. You got me. Happy April Fools. -_-

GM, is there anything Malthus can throw together with the ingredients I took from the alchemy lab?

Uhm, yeah. Give me until tomorrow to look up what was there and I'll give you an idea.

Hoping it's ghost salt :)

The AP isn't specific, so what I'm going to rule is that you collected enough materials to manufacture 300 gp worth of alchemical items. You will still need to make Craft (alchemy) checks, as normal.

So would this be retroactive or on the spot?

You can make it retroactive.

I'll post some rolls etc here but ghost salt is gonna be an aspiration

Ghost Salt: This gritty alchemical powder is made from exotic minerals mixed with an infusion crafted from the ectoplasmic remains of destroyed incorporeal undead. When rubbed onto a weapon that is then placed over a hot flame for a full round, ghost salt melts and forms a temporary coating on the weapon. The blanching gives the weapon the ability to do full damage to incorporeal creatures, even if the weapon itself is non-magical. An application of ghost salt remains effective until the weapon makes a successful attack. Each dose of weapon blanch can coat one weapon or up to 10 pieces of ammunition. Only one kind of weapon blanch can be on a weapon at one time.

It's 200gp a throw...

That and 2 alchemist fires makes 300gp.

Ghost Salt +13 to create alchemical items: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Fire +13 to create alchemical items: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Fire +13 to create alchemical items: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Also, apologies, been pretty sick the last few days.

IF holy water is considered Alchemist items, then that's two more holy waters instead

Noice thinking outside the box, Judah! :D

My goal is to give Malthus a headache.

If I want to give someone a headache I just smack them in the head.

The Bloodrager offers.

Uh...I think you posted IC in the OOC?

My goal is to give Malthus a headache.

Lol

Do we all have darkvision?

I even have see in darkness. Skinwalker, very fair and balanced race.

Nope... but can with my potion/infusion.

Just a heads-up: my wife is having a hip replacement Friday, so for the next six weeks, she is going to be in recovery mode and I will be handling the house. If I'm late with posts, please be forgiving.

Of course mate. To be fair the pace has been slow for a while so this will be BAU and to be honest, I am very much okay with a slow pace atm. My best wishes for her fast recovery.

I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow with my family: we're going to Chicago! As such, my ability to post will be limited to my phone, which will be playing double-duty as a camera and navigation device, anyway. I'll be back on Sunday, July 2nd. Please feel free to bot Lorant as needed while I'm gone.
