GM Woran's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Woran

Whenever I am still prepping scenarios late and things are not going my way and I should be in bed but it still needs doing, I recite BigNorseWolfs mantra:

Good enough for state work.
Good enough for state work.

*shuffleshuffleshuffleshuffleshuffleshuffle*

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaains.

Also, Gouda cheese is called Gouda because of the city of Gouda. It was one of the major trade centers for the cheese.

knowledge history: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Is "skaven" the ratfolk term for their people?

Skaven is what warhammer calls ratfolk. The term has been around for ages so lots of people call them that.

Also, I love Oskars and Justins banter.

I'm pretty sure its NOT rat folk. Unless he wants to refer to the rest of the party as monkey folk pig folk or.... hmm what would you call elves?

Well that's kind of my point. I think as a half orc, Oskar would be a little more aware of that sort of thing.

EDIT: and thanks. My characters often end up wondering things like what they call a quarter pounder in Egorian...

magic weapon might still be up. Banter is a free action...

If it is so much the better (I defer to Woran's call there), but I strongly suspect that guy has gone from sinspawn to kickedhisteethinspawn.

I really need a pair of sunglasses to put on.

Hey, I remember this dungeon section from the brief stint I played in a RotRL campaign years back. I think we've managed to do an end-run on the dungeon :/

The rest of the dungeon does not agree ;)

I've also obliged and put a pair of sunglasses on Oskars avatar on the map.

Magic weapon is no longer up. It took more then 2 minutes to carefully make your way down the corridors while also taking a look at rooms you passed trough.

its not a dungeon. Its underpoint. No one is going to want to move to a dungeon.

"Easy access to sites of great historical relevance..."

You just have to know how to read these listings.

I don't suppose dropping some of MY blood in the pit would get me my very own sinspawn?

If we go to this year's Darwin Awards dinner, be sure that our table is close to the podium, because there is no way that move wouldn't win us an award. And by an award, naturally I mean a TPK.

Only one way to find out.

Well one and a half. I can do it while the Quasit is still up, or we can kill the quasit and THEN i can try it.

Although justin has noticed that the quasit hasn't issued it commands, turned invisible the second it showed up, and hasn't been near it since.

Maybe its using... magic? *wiggles eyebrows*

Well even invisible it should have been chanting or something for the summon monster, so something weird is going on in here.

Its possible that the sinspawn has to obey its creator, or its possible it comes out and tries to kill everyone and its creator was nowhere to be found (and the creator, knowing that... planned on not being found). Oskars life is slightly more important than the answer to that question now burning in the ratfolks mind.

Did the quasit make any noise while summoning (...) the earth elemental?

Yes. But being tiny I had her hide while invisible in/behind the fountain, figuring the water would cover most of it. Describing combat in play by post is still a bit nebulous. You dont want to give off any undue impression.

I'm just in hunter-killer mode :)

not that the caster level is an issue on color spray but i think the arcane bump thingy is caster level or dc.

Good point.. bump the save DC then, and hope the critter doesn't have spell resistance

1) whooops thought you were rolling saves

2) Pythagoras says no. Justin would be 30 feet away exactly if the imp was on the ground, he's 20 feet up though, so 36 feet even before pathfinders cube square thing knocks off a few corners.

... drat. which puts him out of range of the ray of frost.

So justin just readies his book.

will save if we don't go greek: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Cause Fear is single-target.

I think there must have been an editing mishap in converting Rise of the Runelords from 3.5 to the anniversary edition, as the spell in the statblock calls out 30ft radius. Perhaps in 3.5 another spell was prepared in that slot and they never removed that info?

It was probably Scare.

In PFS that's typically a spell that bad guys get scripted to use in the 6-7 subtier when almost everyone is immune :P

I just checked with the normal quasit stat block, and apparently their cause fear spell like ability is a area of effect. Which is weird.

Low level parties

Darlings, I think I am going to drop. My brain clearly is not synching with this game right now. I wanted to do you all the courtesy of letting you know so that you can get a replacement player. Maybe Taj is doing a stint with the local armed forces or militia for a while.

Hugs and Kisses,
Hmm

I am going to mis you :(

So what would people like to do? I can find a replacement. Or if anyone knows anyone that wants to join.

Oh, that's a real bummer, Hmm. We'll miss you.

awwwww

Do not make me do the Coppertone commercial thing!

The Coppertone commercial? Wolf, you have a kinky streak!

I'm going to miss you all too. But it's been eight weeks. It's not fair to keep you botting me, even if I love all your characters and the wacky GM!

Hmm

Its not like we're going anywhere. But I saw that a game day is again coming up after the special ends, so you will be kept quite busy.

I really mean it when I say I will mis you, but if things ever quiet down you can always come back.

Coppertone commercial?

But yeah, it's sad to see you heading to the door :(

Anyone know someone in real life that would be interested?

Coppertone Commercial

I am not gone forever! But yes... I think it's better for you guys to have an enthusiastic player rather than another empty seat! Woran, if my life ever dies down I'll be checking back with you.

You might also be able to call Rataji in for cameo appearances as an NPC. Just let me know.

Hugs,
Hmm

I've got a small request.

None of us knew Hmm wasn't coming back :-\ when we were gearing up for this expedition. Ergo, no one was "at the wheel" for Rataji.

Any chance we could retcon her into having bought a chain shirt? Just that one small thing would bump her a couple points of AC(2? 3?), it'd make a huge difference.

If everyone agrees to it, then yes.

Dan bong. Because even eastern sticks are better than western ones!

I'm okay with that.. I'm a bit uncertain if I bought proper gear myself. I think we jumped from vague indecision into the dungeon in a day I wasn't home. I'm not sure if it's reasonable to assume I bought cold iron arrows/melee weapons.

So, is it reasonable to assume I could've bought CI arrows/a dagger?

Oskar went to buy a dagger. Its reasonable to say you put in an order for a dagger.

A dagger is common enough that the smith would have one or two around.

Arrows would be rare enough that he would make them on demand.

So you can have a cold iron dagger if you have the cash for it.

Yeah, I had some more money, 4gp isn't making me broke.

With Justin handeling the finances... who knows ;)

It's new math!
