Gathrix's Hell's Vengeance

Game Master GM-Gathrix

over time is nice...in moderation

It looks like I will be having a death in the family rather soon. My mother-in-law is now in comfort care. I still plan on posting regularly (to help keep my mind off of things), but please keep that in mind.

Very sorry to hear that. For what it is worth, I will pray for her, you and your family. I appreciate what you have brought to this game.

I am sorry to hear that as well, my thoughts are with you and your family.

So sorry, Jerax! Thoughts are with you and yours.

Thanks everybody.

Never an easy thing to deal with when that happens to family. I will bot you where appropriate.

I just wish that it's quick, painless and that the burden for you and your family passes with ease.

My thoughts are with you jerax. Lost my father a few years ago, never a good thing.

Thanks. The funeral is Saturday morning. Tomorrow all the kin start showing up.

So it did end up as you feared. Well you have my condolences, we will be here when you get back.

I'll take the front, either left or right of center.

I'll take the front, to the right of Jerax, let Sweet Sister pick the other flank.

Meridian will walk behind and near Jerax.

Ileosa will walk right behind Izrail. Because he is kinda her shield and sword! XD

The suggestion was brought up to roll initiative for you guys if you want. I do not mind doing that, however if I only get responses from people after I rolled initiative for them they might be sleeping during a fight.

I am fine with you rolling initiative for us.

In case anyone needs this information it is also listed kind of hard to find at the bottom. I had to take brackets out of course to show the syntax.

[list

I will never use the [dice=name of roll] format. I have seen it lead to weird stuff when someone replies to a post with a dice= statement with another die roll.

I will always use [ooc}Name of roll: [dice}1d20[/dice}.[/ooc}

(change all } to ], of course)

That works too, this whole time I have been putting down links though and didn't realize Alicia didn't know what they were so I do not want to assume. Can't say I didn't try.

It's not a matter of not knowing about links, but you said spoiler, so i looked for that. And missed the link.
my bad

The link was inside the spoiler. That is fine, I just matched attitude with attitude.

Well it was my error

Here is the list I have for initiatives, please look yours over and make sure it is correct because I see some discrepancies.

Jerax +1
Kirk +3
Alicia +1
Sister Margaletta +4?(going off Dex only don't see an initiative stat for your character.)
Izrail +2
Ileosa +5?(I see you have improved Initiative which accounts for the +4, what is the additional point coming from)?
Meridian +1

It may be a good idea to post this in the Gameplay tab for easy access:

Izrail: Initiative: +2 ; AC: 20/11/19 ;
Saves: 6/2/0 ; Perception: +0 ;
Ileosa: Initiative: +5 ; AC: 16/10/16 ;
Saves: 6/0/8 ; Perception: +4 ;
Jerax: Initiative: +1 ; AC: 19/11/18 ;
Saves: 7/1/5; Perception: +2 ;
Margaletta: Initiative: +4 ; AC: 16/14/12 ;
Saves: 7/7/2 ; Perception: +7 ;
Alicia: Initiative: +1 ; AC: 16/11/15 ;
Saves: 2/1/7 ; Perception: +5 ;
Kirk: Initiative: +3 ; AC: 14/14/11 ;
Saves: 5/2/4 ; Perception: +5 ;
Meridian Initiative: +1 ; AC: 218/13/15 ;
Saves: 3/1/5; Perception: +5 ;

Sorry for the lazy format, it's the best I can do on mobile ^^
As for Ileosa, she is a Divine Strategist which gives her 1/2 cleric level to Init, with Impr. Init that's what amounts to +5

That explains it, thanks Izrail

Hey guys, specially Jerax and Margaletta, I've been thinking and we could pick some flashy teamwork feats.

I was thinking that Paired Opportunists and Outflank complement each other, us and my trips really well.

Speaking of teamwork, Kirk knows a grease spell which would compliment any of our fire attacks. Right now, the music boost seems to be working well.

Actually it says specifically in the grease spell description that it is not flammable. This is more of a slippery grease to make people fall.

Well, that sucks.

I like to follow the initative order whenever possible. I'll post my actions after the twins and the cherub, since they will most likely attack. I don't wanna stress out the DM posting out of order.
And Margaletta, where ARE YOU? You're missing combat!!

My build is incredibly feat-starved, I don't want to do anything with teamwork unless it's granted.

Also, I got back from a conference on friday and on saturday discovered a bedbug bite, I've spent the last two days scouring my apartment and nothing else. And it looks like I didn't even miss my initiative yet.

Hey gathrix, why did you reroll my spell damage? I rolled it in my post. Also, the damage was 2d4, not 3 as i am only a level two wizard. Unless i can stack my adept level.

I rerolled it to include your-volatile conduit: +1d4 damage to fire magic Trait. This will be the last time I correct you for your benefit I promise.

Ok, thanks.

Would you please provide a thorough description of Loran and Lacall? I have to decide whom I charge and try to behead and whom gets the honour of being captured and publicly executed in front of her mother.

I mean, if we can get a description of their size, body type, clothes/armor, weapons I would like to offer the more warrior like a warrior death.

Hey now, you're not the only one on this team who gets to kill people.

They are the twin sons, they were described before during the courtyard scene. They actually share the same profile in the campaign book ha. I am not at home so I forget what exactly they have on, but they both have maces. The other Iomedaens have longswords.

I have some family obligations tomorrow so might not post as much as I would like, maybe not at all. Sorry to do that in the middle of combat.

Apparently webs are more flammable than grease.

Were we doing the heropoint thing in this campaign? I forgot I thought we were. I could have sworn Kirk got one.

GRRR! I was waiting for the Iomedeans to go first since they were above me in initative order!
Oh well, I leveled at least.
Does this mean the angel was vanquished and we were able to bring in the twins and one other Iomedean?

Were we doing the hero point thing in this campaign? I forgot I thought we were. I could have sworn Kirk got one.

Yes. Good job everybody! I think everyone stepped up to the plate and upped their role-playing game! It will be tough to award who role-played best!

Indeed we are! I have one! And Jerax has two. And there were more people who earned one, from the final part of Languishing in Longacre.

And truth be told, this time the MVP will be hard to vote.

Ok good, Yeah I am sorry about how this combat worked out. Memorial day threw a wrench into the momentum and pace of it. We are about 1 level worth of encounters to go in this first book. So congratulations.

Best Role Player I have a few canidates in mind, but I would like to hear some ideas.

Best Use of a Heropoint I honestly will have to go back to see if one was even used

MVP That's all you.

Candidates for Best Role Player
* Alicia Deville - her descriptions of her spells and her battle prowess was highlighted greatly.
* Ileosa Arvanxi - her descriptions and role-playing of her spells were awesome, and had some opportunities to strengthen her bonds of friendship with Jerax.
* Izrail Arvanxi - strong leadership skills were featured in role-playing, also with character building.
* Kirk Hetfield - comes out of his own shadow to a stronger role-playing experience.
* Meridian Anterian - her battle prowess are featured more prominently, and showed more individuality in her role-playing, standing on her own along with the boys.
* Sister Margaletta - higher level of role-playing while still maintaining her rule as 'baddest b!+<*", and greater role-playing through combat.

Unbelieveable hard choice for Best Role-Player, but if you had to twist my arm, my vote would be Izrail Arvanxi

Best Use of Hero Point - I believe I was the only one who used one, but I think that was reconned during the wereboar fight with Caggan. Gathrix, I'll need a judgement call.

MVP - Izrail Arvanxi What can I say? The Dice Gods were mostly on his side. The human noble laid waste!

Ugh super overwhelmed at work/school right now. Will try to keep up with my games

Izrail has been updated and his profile is now using a much nicer character sheet.
Only choice that I had to do was where to place my level 4 stat increase, which went into Charisma.

That, and the skill points being put into Diplomacy, Intimidate and Perfomr(Oratory), is because it felt appropiate after all the talking I've been through.

Now comes the hardest part: choosing Best Role Player and MVP.
Both are hard choices because everybody's been doing a great job, but after much consideration here is my selection (details on said selection not present because Jerax pretty much summed it up, and regarding Jerax I only have to say that I'm growing to like the horned bastard):

Best Role Player: Sister Margaletta. Seriously. I've never seen anybody so commited to being as much a badass motherf!*+er as she is, and she is pulling it off!

MVP: Kirk. Between his skills and his empowering music, he's been the back bone of the team. And a rock hard one at it.

But to be completely honest, I'd very much like give a vote to each and every one. Not only we are managing not to let this campaign die -which seems to happen a lot in my brief PbP experience- but we are making it an enjoyable campaign full of excitement.

I've never seen anybody so commited to being as much a badass m+##@&#**%@# as she is, and she is pulling it off!

Aww thanks. My motivation behind Margaletta is basically "7 Cha, but she's just as beautiful on the inside as the outside"
