GM WhtKnt's Giantslayer: Battle of Bloodmarch Hill (Inactive)

Game Master WhtKnt

"There are a lot of good plans here, but unfortunately, there are a lot of ways for said plans to go wrong," Norasha whispered.

She added, "And the worst part: whoever our enemy is, they know we're here, so they're being extra cautious."

The dwarven paladin readied her axe and shield, prepared to carry out whatever plan the group decided on.

Sorry to be unclear. The portcullis is down; it is between you and the voices.

Does it appear to be locked?

Difficult to tell.

"Probably not going to be able to lift this stealthily, any one have ideas?"

"I'm all for bursting in, I still think it's too cramped to fight down here. And if the door's locked, well, then we back off, they come investigate and we jump them." Rokar offers.

We've been at this decision for a while, I if no one has any ideas we vote between trying to stealthy lift the gate and attack, smoke them out, or wait upstairs as an ambush. I vote for smoke them out since its more chaotic.

"...or, I suppose, there's always this..." Rokar says, pulling out a scroll and holding it up for the others to see.

"Perhaps some Obscuring Mist to surprise our quarry?" finishes, some bestial quality coming forth in his voice as he shifts into a hunting mentality.
Obscurring Mist, open Portcullis, run in? Milani and I have a bit of an advantage in the mist with our scent, I think.

"Obscuring mist doesn't last very long. Perhaps we should use that once we've gotten the gate open to cover our approach so we can attack before they get a chance to see us.

I suggest we open the gate and go after them. If there's another exit that we haven't see yet, both other plans result in them getting away and we can't risk that. We should open the gate, head through, then lay down obscuring mist as the fight starts so we have cover to hit them first.

Note that the portcullis is right at the edge of the room. Opening it will likely be noticed unless done under cover of the mist (and even then it may be heard). Whoever they are, they aren't using lights. Whoever does the honors will need to do so in the dark or they will almost certainly be spotted.

"I like that plan, Aisha. We charge in like bats out of the Nine Hells and mist them," Norasha said, agreeing with the half-orc.

She readied herself as she prepared to lead the charge, saying, "Just be careful. If our foes were speaking Giant, then it's possible we might run into something that likes to pick on people who are smaller than it. I'll lead the charge."

The dwarven paladin adjusted her shield.

That plan should hopefully work. Norasha will charge forward as soon as we open the gate. If there are any giants, then Norasha will charge straight at them, since she has the most potential to lay down some pain, what with her traits and skills.

at work, but I'm game for the plan. Lead on

"Alright then. Can you cast the spell Rokar? As soon as you lay it down, we need to get that gate open."

"On it."

Rokar gets in position, and casts the spell when signaled.

Corric gives a thumbs up as he positions himself next to what looks like a winch. He readies an action to start pulling the winch open.

Sneakily open winch if that's even possible: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Chaos reigns as Corric winches open the portcullis and Rokar casts the spell, obscuring everything in a blinding fog. In the room beyond are two figures; both are man-sized, though one is slightly larger than the other. The figures are caught by surprise! You get one round of free attacks.

INITIATIVE
Opponent 2
Norasha
Aisha
Corric
Opponent 1
Rokar

Aisha picks a spell that doesn't need clear vision to make use of. She focuses and her eyes begin to glow with a bloody red light. She focuses on the larger shape, projecting thoughts of confusing agony. "Everything is against you. Lash out..."

Lesser confusion on the bigger figure. DC 15 Will Save or confused for 1 round.

If I attack the larger one, does that break the confusion spell? And if I attack the non-larger enemy, does that mean that the larger enemy will attack me as well?

Dropping the spent scroll to the floor, Rokar and Milani flood into the room, navigating as much by scent as they do vision, while the thick fog swirls around them. They assume positions opposite each other, Rokar channels strength, and then they simultaneously attack the smaller of the two targets!

Handle Animal, DC 10: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 autopass, but Milani is SUPER into the battle, it seems.
Swift Action, Animal Focus: +2 STR to both me and Milani

Rokar Attack+outflank: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 = 14
Rokar damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Milani Attack+outflank: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 = 15
Milani damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Norasha decided to attack the smaller enemy. "Best to take care of one enemy at a time I guess," she said as she charged, shouting a battle cry as she ran straight into the mists.

Waraxe attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24

Waraxe damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I did that thing where I read the update at work, and forgot to update when I got back home. Apologies.

Corric pulls out both saps and starts swinging wildly, hoping one will connect.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 Damage sneak attack: 1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + (3) + 2 = 7

Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 Damage sneak attack: 1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + (4) + 2 = 8

2nd attack is doubled damage beacuse of critical, which equals 16

Norasha dashes through the portal and swings at the smaller figure, her blow connecting and eliciting a grunt of pain. Aisha prepares to cast lesser confusion only to find that she cannot see her target. Corric's first attack connects and the larger opponent growls menacingly in response. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponents are caught by surprise, Rokar and Milani take up flanking positions and attack mercilessly, bringing low the smaller of the two opponents.

The remaining opponent swings wildly at Corric with both arms. One clawed hand connects with the halfling, inflicting a grievous wound! Corric takes 8 points of damage.

The party is up!

Don't forget your 20% miss chance due to the fog.

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 65

Seeing through the miss that one of their foes had gone down, Norasha turned towards the other enemy. Believing it to be some sort of runt of a giant, Norasha shouted out a battle cry as she swung her waraxe as she called upon the dwarven gods to lend her their strength and power.

Using stonestrike to increase my attack and damage rolls

Waraxe attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 11

Waraxe damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 10

Rats!

Norasha shouted at Rokar to heal Corric!

Rokar slides to his right, doing his best to dart around the creature and dance out of his reach. He saw Corric was hurt, but couldn't see a path to help him.
I've got to put this beast down first!

"Corric, stay safe!" he yells, before unleashing a terrible roar.

Acrobatics to not provoke, DC: opponents CMD: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Establishing his position across from Milani, he attacks, and his roar encourages her to do the same.
handle animal, DC 10: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

attack, Rokar Claw: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 4 = 23

attack, Milani Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 4 = 23
attack, Milani Claw 1: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 4 = 24
attack, Milani Claw 2: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 4 = 28
confirm, Milani Claw 2: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 4 = 19

damage, Milani Claw 1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
crit damage, Milani Claw 2: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

Miss Chances:
Rokar Claw: 1d100 ⇒ 44
Milani Bite: 1d100 ⇒ 6
Milani Claw 1: 1d100 ⇒ 83
Milani Claw 2: 1d100 ⇒ 70

"C'mere you!"

Corric, undeterred by his injuries, starts to scramble up the mysterious humanoids leg and onto its back.

Limb Climber check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Check vs CMD for success

Corric then attempts to blind the creature temporarily with his sap.

Improved Dirty Trick: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
vs CMD again. Bonus is BAB + Dex+ trait+ improved dirty trick

If I need line of sight for most of my spells and obscuring mist counts as not having line of sight, I'm not exactly sure what to do here. If I'd known most of my combat options were going to be shut down by this plan, I would have suggested something else.

Aisha frowns as she can't seem to attack the enemy's mind. That's certainly never happened before. She half-heartedly launched a telekinetic bullet through the mist, hoping not to hit anyone on her side.

Miss Chance (Low Bad): 1d100 ⇒ 62
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

I'm going to make the ruling that line of sight will be affected by obscuring mist, because the spell specifically states that an attacker cannot use sight to locate a target at a distance greater than 5 feet.

Norasha's attack misses the foe by mere inches, the larger creature being quite agile despite its size. Aisha flings a telekinetic bullet at the creature, hitting it in the side of the head and drawing it's attention. Corric snags one of the long limbs, attempting to scramble up the creature's body, but a shrug throws him aside. The same cannot be said for Rokar and Milani, who tear into the creature. Blood flows freely and when the melee stalls, the creature lies bleeding on the ground.

"Ow, ow, ow!"

Corric nurses a bump on his head he received when the creature through him off.

"I think we're done with the mist!" he calls out.

Whose turn is it now?

Not sure. Thought combat was over, but then realized there were two opponents.

Well one is down. We just have to deal with the big guy now.

I'll post my default action if combat is still on.

Not to be deterred by wounds or failure, Corric attempts to once again climb unto his enemy.

Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

And once again tries to blind the creature

Blind: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Pretty sure combat's over. Assuming it is...

Rokar concentrates for a moment, and dismisses the fog. After, he takes a knee and inspects the two felled combatants, inspecting them quickly to see if they are still alive.

Both are down, and both yet live. The bigger of the two is a female with a thick hide of mottled blue; protruding yellowed canines; narrow slits for eyes; and large, powerful hands that end in wicked claws. The other is a male half-orc dressed in leather armor and carrying two daggers and a morningstar.

"We only need one alive. What say I crack the other's skull in before either wake up? But first...."

Corric makes to disarm both downed opponents of their weapons.

Being a dwarven paladin I don't think Norasha would be okay killing the half Orc in cold blood but I'm going to have think the other be some sort of troll although she doesn't know what kind of troll so using fire and acid on it might backfire and actually heal the troll!

Norasha scratched her chin in thought.

"Not sure I like killing in cold blood, unless me be doing a mercy kill. Still, the big one looks like a troll, although I could be wrong. If it be a troll then even hacking off its head won't kill it. Only things I know of that can truly kill a troll would be acid and fire. As for the other one," she says pointing her axe at the downed half-orc, "Might tell us some useful information. Best strip him of his belongings and tie him up before we wake him up. Which reminds me, why is a bloody troll doing in this haunted place?"

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Knowledge Local is used to identify humanoids so...

Aisha carefully steps through the fading mist, looking down at both the orc and the giant... thing. Perhaps a troll. She wracks her brain for anything she might know about the creature.

While the others start talking and investigating, Rokar stabilizes both foes.

"Can always kill them later, if it turns out they've earned it. Best not to let them expire now though."

You are able to disarm the half-orc without problem.

"I think that we might have a problem. The large one is a flood troll. If he touches water, he'll get right back up again. We need to handle him carefully."

Other way around. As long as she doesn't contact water, you're okay.

"Flood troll? Aye...never heard of a flood troll. Seen and fought ice trolls, cave trolls, rock trolls, your run of the mill trolls, but never flood trolls. But I respect your knowledge Aisha. So we can still cut off its head right?"

The dwarf patted her axe.

"So...we just leaving them? Can we even tie them up? Mainly, how do we get it to not tear us apart when it wakes up?"

"Tying them up would be ideal, if anyone has rope. I think that we're going to want to ask the half-orc a few questions once we wake him up. I'm fairly certain that someone meeting a troll under an abandoned building is up to no good."

"I like those ideas. I can speak Giant so I can aid in interrogating the troll, or can you simply read their minds Aisha? Just asking. It's always best to use everyone's abilities for an ally may have hidden talent or skill that can turn the tide of a battle. That's what I learned in the Ninth Battalion."

"I can skim their surface thoughts. If they have strong wills, they might be able to resist me though." She stops, clearly thinking about something. "It would be best for me to read their minds while they're being questioned. It will be more likely that their surface thoughts will have something useful in them if they're thinking about whatever they were doing here. Additionally I have a spell that might make an interrogation simpler but..."

Well, first things first..."

Corric hums to himself as he gets busy tying up their "guests." You wouldn't think there would be a need for a double-loop-overhand-butterfly-hitch-crosstie- knot, but hey, you didn't have childhood like Corric did.

Once certaint hat even he would have a hard time breaking, or slipping through those bonds, he brought up the topic of countermeasures.

"After all, just being tied up is good and all, but being tied up around a pit of spiders adds something special to it."

Of course there was no pit of spiders, but Corric thinks he got his idea across.

Okay, both are securely tied. Now what?

Unless anyone objects, Corric will take his sap and crack one on the head to wake it up.

"Perhaps blunt trauma to the head is not the best way to wake someone up," Aisha says as Corric lifts his sap.

Welcome to the OOC and discussion area for Giantslayer. I have decided to wait until after GenCon to kick things off, but in the meantime, I have some homework for everyone. I would like for each of the chosen to make a "wishlist" of goodies that you would eventually like to obtain. I will use these lists to alter the treasures found in the adventure to better suit the characters. You can send them to me in PM or put them here.

I will open the Game thread on Wednesday, August 5 and kick things off.

a wish list, hhhmmmm, and ten days to work on it, sounds like a plan, WhtKnt, and again, thanks for the invite!

Wow! Thank you! Appreciate you doing this for us!

Again thank you for the invite!

I do have a question though: are artifacts off limits?

Awesome! I love making wish lists! It's like the lead up to Christmas!

Artifacts are not off limits, though the chance of running across them in admittedly not great.

Artifacts are not off limits, though the chance of running across them in admittedly not great.

Okay. Just wanted to check. Thank you for answering my question!

I hope you have a fun and safe adventure at GenCon!

I'll be working most of it. I get in free and get 1/4 of a room free of charge, but the payback is that I have to run seven games for Paizo.

Sweet! That's a great deal right there! Have a great time!

Seems the party is very balanced and will do quite well. Also I'll be speaking a lot of Dwarven here and there, but I'll be providing translations for everyone so don't worry.

Also Norasha means Mithral Moon in Dwarven.

You should leave it in spoilers so those of us who don't speak it can be left in the dark about what the heck it means. I fully intend to do the same, with mutterings to herself being in elven (her native tongue) and spellcasting in draconic.

Ah yes. I usually do put them in spoilers. Thank you for reminding me! I'm looking forward to adventuring with you!

Sounds good, I'm coming home after a long weekend/mini beach vacation tonight, so I'll start putting it together in the next few days.

I think it might be useful if we think of items that would benefit each other as well as for ourselves.

Or we can share ideas with each other on what might benefit another's character. Just tossing ideas out there.

I came across items that might work for my character but might be better used by someone else.

Zeviel's Wishlist

Wondrous Items
Robes of Arcane Heritage
Tome of Leadership and Influence
Gloves of Elvenkind
Tunic of Careful Casting
Headband of Alluring Charisma

Other Items
Ring of Feather Falling
Staff of Acid
Dragon Staff

Nothing fancy on the list, some of them are standard things all casters want, others are a little more tailored to suit myself. I might add to it as I find interesting items.

Hello! I will also be traveling to gencon this year! I'm going to be leaving on Wednesday, July 29th and make the return trip on August 2nd. It should be fun!

As far as specialty items, my only request would be for weapons and armor that Roseline could use (Simple weapons, tridents, light armor, medium armor, and shields). I'm pretty self-sufficient otherwise.

I look forward to playing through this adventure with everyone! My only regret is that there are currently no avatars of smiling half-orcs for me to choose.

I know what you mean. Not many female dwarves, aasimar, and catfolk avatars either.

I mainly going to be using warhammers and dwarven waraxes as my weapons. I should have my wishlist up and ready sometime tomorrow or the day after next. I'm also going for helms of insight too.

And wow! Excellent selection Zeviel!

Thanks. It's pretty basic stuff that usually ends up in the game anyways, but now hopefully that'll be stuff he wont swap out! The ring of feather falling is important though as the draconic bloodline offers a ton of ways to fly, including the perma-wings at level 15 (or level 11 with that robe of arcane heritage *waggles eyebrows in the form of a subtle hint*)

You're welcome. And that's a good idea too.

I'm just going over some stuff, but I'm pretty much done. Going for giantbane, holy weapons and mithral armor.

hey everybody, very stoked about this WhtKnt, good idea asking about the artifacts Norasha. So many different things a burglar can use, weapons, armor, tools, I will narrow my list soon. It's good to meet you all, looking forward to playing.

Thank you! I thought it best to ask as I was tempted to put the Axe of the Dwarvish Lords on my list but since the axe is located far from this adventure plus the GM's answer I decided not to put artifacts on my list. Besides there are some good ones already in the adventure.

Also if I remember my giant lore correctly there aren't many giants who are immune to acid...hmmm...I might need to think about corrosive weapons.

What do the rest of you think?

I was thinking about acid too, but for different reasons. I'm mainly looking for the various natural weapon enhancements, so while the classic Amulet of Mighty Fists & Bodywrap of Mighty Strikes makes the list, so do Deliquescent Gloves (which would be my source of acid). Cloak of Fangs would be a nice later game pickup since I won't be using iterative attacks (just the 2 claws), and I like the idea of a Ring of Tactical Precision. Might as well throw a Runestone of Power & Page of Spell Knowledge on the list too.

I'm also interested in the more tracking/survival oriented gear, so something like a Lens of Detection is flavorful and useful, and I wouldn't say no to a saddle, barding/bracers of armor, or some other goodies for my animal companion either.

Zeviel is most certainly okay with all of you going for acid. All the better to overthrow you all later when she gains immunity! I mean uh... wat?

Zeviel's taken the green dragon powers for her draconic bloodline and the acid energy for the elemental bloodline (crossblooded! woo!) so she's got acid damage all over the place. It seemed the best choice for the AP.

Also I made dis awhile ago when I first started developing the character and I wanna show it off: A Picture of Zeviel >w<

Wow! That's very beautiful Zeviel! And that's a good idea too.

\Also I made dis awhile ago when I first started developing the character and I wanna show it off: A Picture of Zeviel >w<

nice image Zeviel what program did you use?

I need to do a better wish list, I was just thinking a couple of keen weapons, thinking short swords, Keep wanting to go kukri's but I would need to burn a feat, any opinions?

My big concern is finding gear for a small character!

I always use Paint Tool Sai for everything.

Boram you could use a short sword and a dagger, or even a punching dagger.

I know that there are a couple of wondrous items that might work for you though. Miser's mask might be a good idea as well as belt of tumbling and trapspringer's gloves. Gloves of reconnaissance might prove handy.

But yeah I know what you mean. Always hard to find items for small characters.

Small characters can be a b$!#% to find gear for unless you've got a campaign with a lot of goblins. I think it'd be great if you could take some skills in something that would allow you to jury rig over-sized things to make them usable (like break off the top half of a blade, use rope to tie armor on if it's too big, etc)

Enjoy GenCon!

Well here we go!

Holy Giantbane Corrosive Dwarven Waraxe
Mithral Full Plate of Comfort Spell Resistance (15) Energy Resistance (Electricity)
Gauntlets of the Weaponsmaster
Bracers of the Avenging Knight
Ring of Sacred Protection (adds sacred bonus to AC)
Dragonfoe Amulet
Ring of Regeneration
Phylatercy of Faithfulness
Cloak of Displacement
Lion's Cloak
Lion's Shield
Adamantine Dwarfbound Hammer
Belt of Physical Perfection
Helm of Insight (adds insight bonus to AC)
Boots of Earth
Dragonslayer's Shield
Bags of Holding

Yeah I probably went overboard with the items. But this is probably want I'm feel that Norasha would have at the end of the adventure path. Dwarfbound Hammer would prove useful as well as the gauntlets of the weaponsmaster as that would allow me to store any artifact weapons we come across.

Now both the helm of insight and ring of sacred protection are custom items but they are both legal as I've checked. I hope that's okay. I felt that since we're going against a storm giant warlord, it makes sense to have some energy resistance and spell resistance is always to good to have around.

Why bracers of the avenging knight you may ask? Because in every single AP I've read there's always undead, and well channelling lay on hands through a holy weapon will mean bad news for any undead foe we meet. Lion's shield I think will prove handy, and I added dragonslayer's shield as while Norasha may use the lion's shield someone else might benefit from it as well.

Good choice with all the AC buffing items, Norasha. I guess I left it out of my list, but any AC-improving item, armor or otherwise, would be greatly welcomed by Rokar. He's relatively squishy, at least compared to some of you guys!

On an unrelated note, I'm sad Spirit's Gift and Animal Soul got hit in the ACG errata. Oh well, that's life I guess.

Borum the Burglar’s wish list.

There are many Wounderous Items that help a Burglar out, just listed a few, anything of that nature would be wonderful.
Robe of Infinite Twine
belt of incredible dexterity
Traveler's Any-Tool
Burglar Boots
Trapspringers Gloves
Eyes of Keen Sight
Duelists Vambraces

There are several armor’s that would work well for a Burglar: Mistmail, Enchanted Eelskin, Boneless Leather, Murderer’s Blackcloth, but my favorite was: Catskin Leather

Borum’s primary weapons will be either shortswords or daggers, I haven’t decided yet, I really like: Dagger of Doubling if he went daggers, and Gloom Blade if he focuses on short swords. Of course dagger or shortsword with Keen or Giant-bane would be excellent also.

@Rokar Thank you! I figure that since we are going up against giants whose attacks pack a whallop it's best to have as much AC as possible. Cloak of displacement also factors in as well since I'll mainly be on the frontlines. And that's a good idea too. And sorry to hear about the errata. What happen to those abilties?

@Boram Excellent choices! I see you picked Trapspringer's gloves. Good idea there. I would never have thought of Robe of Infinite Twine or Duelist's Vambraces. You did a great deal of research into your choices.

@Everyone Just curious here, I know who our cleric and warpriest worship but what about everyone else?

@Zeviel just curious here, but what is your alignment? I don't think I saw it.

Animal Soul went from: "spells that affect animals can affect you" to "you can choose to not let spells that wouldn't affect animals affect or not affect you". So now if someone cast's Dominate Person on you, or something similar, you can ignore it. The old way, you could be the target of Animal-only spells like Animal Growth, etc. Pretty big change thematically.

Spirit's Gift went from "get a bonus during the next 24 hrs" to "get a bonus once during the next 24 hrs, activated as a standard action, and for a number of minutes/level". Ouch.

Rokar doesn't specifically worship a deity. Between his childhood experiences and his time as a hunter in Trunau, he's come to see that in Nature, the strong survive. He's got a self-determined moral code in which he strives to be a good member of his community, but he's not above bringing retribution to those who've done wrong, or squandered goodwill.

Rokar doesn't deny the existence of gods, which would be rather hard to do in Golarion, but he doesn't see them as infallible. Instead, he appreciates the good things that people gifted with divine power choose to do, like clerics and others, and believes that his own powers come not from a deity, but from Nature itself.

EDIT: added to char profile

Indeed ouch. I wonder why they changed it.

So in other words he follows the Green Faith philosophy? Which is good. Adds variety to the party.

Yup, a lot of green faith ideas (but none of the official organization) with a little humanism and the Golarion version of atheism mixed in. I chose the the Totem Guide archetype on my animal companion to really drive home the point.

Neat and interesting idea too.

Well three more days till the adventure begins!

If I'm not playing a cleric (or a member of organized religion), I normally don't spend a lot of time thinking about deities. I would say that Boram follows "Chaldira Zuzaristan" because of his Halfling parentage, the domains of Good, Luck and Trickery and her close association with Desna. Of course, on a bad day he may throw a curse from "Thamir" at someone.

Cool and interesting. I also like how you had him raised by dwarves. Very interesting and neat!

Hello everyone! I am back from gencon and am excited to start an adventure with this group!

Same here! And welcome back! How was GenCon?

I'm back. Pardon for the unseemly break. I had a lot of fun but walked back into a hornet's nest of family issues, but that's neither here nor there.

GenCon was a lot of fun, and I have the blister on my foot to prove it.

Anyway, in the interim, one of my players has had to drop out (papajohn41). Some of you may have guessed this is my father and unfortunately, his health will not permit him to continue. So, I turn to the rest of you to help me determine who should replace him.

If you have a suggestion, post it here and I will contact the individual and extend the invitation to them.

I'm sorry to hear about your father'a health. I have someone in mind but I want to check with him first to make sure he's okay with joining us.

I hope your father is doing better, is there someone from the recruitment or are we looking for someone else?

I'm sorry to hear about papajohn, I hope that he can make a full recovery.

My vote would either be for Grobradon Bridgeworth (half-orc bard) or Duran Copperhelm (dwarven Inquisitor) from the recruitment thread.

I'm still waiting for my friend to reply to the pm I sent him. Still no word.

I'm not sure Boram. I guess it could be anyone, regardless if they posted in the recruitment.

Either one of those could work too I guess. I just thought about Guraza, female half-orc Goliath Druid. She could work out too I think.

Also I got the wip sketch of Norasha an artist friend of mine is doing: Norasha WIP

And I'm keeping you and papajohn in my thoughts and prayers WhtKnt. I hope he gets better.

Sorry for the double post, but my friend kamenhero25 is interested. I know him quite well. He's an experienced roleplayer. He's friendly and is always willing to help out his fellow players.

Does not have to be from the recruitment, though they have a character prepared.

Well http://paizo.com/people/kamenhero25 is interested and he's already setting up two character concepts. And I've seen a great deal of his roleplays. He's very good.

You can send him a pm if you want and he'll have the character ready in no time.

Okay. Talked with my friend again and he's definitely interested. Again it's kamenhero25.

And he should have the character ready soon.

I'm glad you had a great at GenCon WhtKnt.
