Cyanne's also in the stress camp. Really, getting drunk like that is humiliating. It's nap time!
Luther's plot to cause all the group's descendants to be Tieflings has been revealed!
Curses, foiled again!!!
You want my descendants to be tieflings? I assume that you will be picking up all the therapy bills.
She shouldn't be without hope.
Daen also wishes to prove his family wrong. If they wouldn't approve, it's actually a mark in her favor.
But you are right on the ambition he has. It is fully his intention to become great, and it may indeed rob him of happiness (if he had much happiness to begin with).
The main question in their relationship is whether or not they come together through his abandonment of his ambition to accept a humble life or her taking on his desires for greatness and the two of them together going after honor, or will their stubbornness and variant ideals force them apart.
I don't really know the answer, but I'm pretty sure either way could be fun.
Hmm, I honestly cant recall who has and who hasnt received Healing Hex today. I dont think Daen has, but im not sure.
And then theres Fortune Hex as well...I should probably keep a note about these things somewhere.
Google docs works great for such notes, or you can put a spoiler in your headers that keeps track of expended hexes. I do that for rounds of Bardic Performance.

She'd follow him, towards his desire for greatness if he asked it of her. She's already decided to compose songs for him to have his deeds be spread far and wide. How was it that we phrased it? By bards in far-off Numeria?

Lali is just AWESOME. I just wanted to say that.
She really is. It's like we're all having our little crises and dramas, and she's just shaking her head and keeping us all in line.

Heaven help us if she gets in a situation where she can't be straightforward. I think her head would implode.
Half of me is tempted to move us along and move this to Flex-Time, and half of me wants to let it play out. Thoughts?
I'll leave that up to the rest of you. I'm just watching everyone else and eating popcorn.
I'm watching everyone else and trying to build a card-throwing Varisian scoundrel, just for fun. It's surprisingly difficult, really. Any advice? Right now I'm at:
Unchained Rogue (rake, scout) 3/Magus (card caster) 1
11 18 13 13 08 14
Traits: Harrow Born (race), Bully (social)
R1: {B} Weapon Finesse, {H} Point-Blank Shot, {1} Rapid Shot
R2: {CT} Quick Draw
M1: {B} Deadly Dealer, {3} Skill Focus (Knowledge [local])
R3:
EDIT: It's being built for level 4, with the intention of taking Eldritch Heritage (arcane) so I can have a regenerating Harrow deck for throwing.
Flex time is good for me. These discussions might take a while.
Also, I like taking the Rough and Ready trait (equipment trait) along with a rank or two in Profession Fortuneteller or Gambler, or even craft: Cards. That way you can use your cards at range, like a card caster and you can use them at short range as well. Also as an improvised weapon, you can actually reuse them, especially as you get them magicked up.
I'm guessing human, right? Take your skill focus at first level and get a free skill focus at 8th and 16th as the racial trait allows. You don't need quick draw as ammunition can be drawn as a free action. Also, you don't need a regenerating card deck as long as you have the spell Mending and a couple hours down time, you'll be able to regenerate even destroyed cards, as the spell allows.
Going rogue is good for the skill points, are you planning on just having one level of Magus in the long run?
I'll probably start working on a post for you guys here after dinner.
@Daen: Hadn't thought about switching racial traits for more skill focuses, really. When I was reading ways to make it work, no one was really sure if Harrow Decks were a single weapon or 52 pieces of ammunition, so I took it to be on the safe side. I am aiming for a single level of Magus, or perhaps as many as five, but no more than that; it's more a dip to get a reduced-feat-taxed Deadly Dealer, but I'm not sure if Ranger would be better for my main class, or if completely abandoning the idea and starting from scratch would work better. I just don't see where the build's damage is.
Magus build would allow for Arcane Strike, but that doesn't work so well when only dipping. I would be inclined to treat the deck like shurikan if I couldn't find specific rules.
Since I'm currently trying to build a Varisian Magus, I'll look around and see what I can find. Might incorporate it into my build, just because it would be a bit different.
If you're going for damage, then going deeper into Magus is a better idea. You'll be able to enchant the deck and give it elemental damage as well as picking up Flamboyant Arcana and Arcane Deed to get Precise Strike on your attacks with the cards as well. Arcane Strike would work on it as well to bring up the damage, and as a Magus, you can pick up Weapon Specialization at level 10 for a little extra oomph.
It's too bad the flying blade doesn't allow for the use of darts, because then you'd have another, nonmagical option with a few more skills.
Ranger is also a good choice, as you can get static bonuses against your favored race, but then you won't want to dump wisdom.
I just cancelled a whole giant post...
There will be a post tomorrow, since I don't feel like typing this one out again.
One or two levels of Ranger with favored enemy: human and Magical Knack: Magus could work. Full caster level, and you would expand your ability with wands. You don't need wisdom if using a wand.
Well that will give Daen and myself a chance to finish up, here. I think we're only a post or two away from settling this for the night.
I'm afraid I can't really offer any advice for your card-throwing scoundrel. My character-building game is pretty weak.
This is certainly a very drama-prone group, isn't it? :P
No time for the post that I want to compose, here. I will try to come in with it tomorrow.
Between the GM's surprise and Daen's intensity, this is one that will take some thought. The wait will be worth it, I promise.
I'll have to post in the morning.
Daen's a little obtuse about things, but I kind of like this going the way it is. Our favorite scowley half elf is not terribly wise, and not connecting at this point makes perfect sense. He's also never had any sort of serious anything much less mutual like with a girl before so he's bound to mess things up a bit. Heaven knows I sure did when I was his age.
Also, there's a bit of a disconnect on world view, which is kinda cool. He's learning all sorts of new things that books can't tell you about.
I've been enjoying the disconnect on the worldview too.
I think I'll run this river thing as a skill encounter, so ride checks to ride across unless there's a more clever idea. Laliytsa can attempt an Aid Another to offer shouted advice (the river's wide, but it's not really making that much noise and she could probably shout over it).
*chews fingernails anxiously*
I'm worried with you, Kaz. Hang on!
Sorry, it's been an exhausting week at work. Parent/Teacher Conferences are next week, so all the teachers (my mom included) are stressing out. Added to that is that I have 30 minutes to plan 8 hours worth of lessons, and I've been coming home pretty tired. The games I'm GMing just take a lot more mental effort than the ones I'm playing in, and last night I just didn't have much left for it. I'll have something up tonight for sure.
Hey, I get it. I had a week or two in our game here where my posting rate was spotty at best, and excused myself with not being in the right state of mind for it.
And I didnt even have that rough days. Take the time.
Chris don't feel bad. GMing takes work. I've been feeling swamped just with the two PFS games I'm GMing -- especially the fast-moving Ironbound Schism. Take the time you need.
I'm waiting on the results of what happens with Kaz before posting Cyanne's actions here since Cyanne was delaying until everyone got across.
No rush. Focus on what's really important.
I get that, and I understand... but dammit, being Schrodinger's Paladin is stressful! :P

The Paladin can be thought of as both wet, and not wet.
Ah, rng. So fickle.
The rescue party might want to read the spoilers for the other part of the team. Yep.
I haven't been given GM permission yet...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I'm just sitting here quietly choking on my own laughter...
All parties are free to read each other's spoilers now that contact has been re-established.
Also, this isn't funny, dammit! This is real survival stuff! XD
Why can't it be both? Because I'm still finding this funny as hell, and feel as though I should apologise to my own character...
Well. Now I'm disappointed that Cyanne gave you warning. At least your response to the message spell should be entertaining.
Actually, I'm glad everyone's getting so much enjoyment out of a couple of failed checks. Like I said, I won't be running most crossings like this, but I wanted to emphasize that the Stolen Lands are also dangerous for their hazards.
I'm looking forward to their response to the message spell.
Oh, and potentially seeing them in their underwear. This has some awesome possibilities for Cyanne, RP-wise.
I was really conflicted about this. I knew it was what you're supposed to do in this situation since I've seen in nature shows and what have you. But it was also awkward and a very weird spot to put Kazimir in. At first I wasn't going to do it because of awkwardness...then I realized that it's out of character to ignore a survival rule just because of story concerns. And honestly, it's not like Lali cares about being half naked.
Plus it's hilarious ;)
I'm just waiting for another gameplay post to respond to.
I'm also waiting. Patiently. The ball is in Laliytsa and Kazimir's hands to respond to the message.
There y'all go. Enjoy Kaz's embarrassment. Revel in it. :P

"No, I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean, this will require some thought and conversation. But yes, I believe I can come to a personal consensus in a month. I appreciate your patience. I'm still very new to all of this, and it will take me a while to process what's happening to me."
"A personal consensus?" In a romantic conversation?
Let me bonk Cyanne's head against this tree...
I am laughing out loud about Daen's assumption over the opportunity for carnal satisfaction between Kaz and Lali though... Cyanne did not assume this, but then again, she's experienced and the body language was all wrong.
But at least Daen now has some idea of how Cyanne made her living in Restov. I cannot wait for when he or someone else finally gets the courage to ask her about it, because as far as Cyanne is concerned, she's already told him when she told him where she danced.
