Holidays!!!!

(make sure any pesky people hear the merciful word of redemption & tough love) ;)

Happy Holidays as well plus 2019 coming up soon too.

Apologies for the extended RL absence due to RL stuff over on my end, as well.

Happy New Year! I return!

Also a wee bit of news. I’ve accepted a commission in the army jag corp. Training won’t begin for another 8ish months, but as PbP lasts years (a few I’m on are over 2 years now) I’m giving advanced warning.

And...37 posts to catch up on :p

I’ll get to it

Indeed, happy new year everyone!

May it be a good one. :)

I began playing pathfinder four and a half years ago here on-line. It has been a wonderful time but I believe that journey has ran its course and come to an end. I am in a dozen games and I feel that those I have been playing with deserve an explanation for my decision to leave the games at this time.

When I started playing I was working nights; alone, bored and able to post for several hours a day. Posting at work was the perfect opportunity to be involved with others and create together. I was able to check the games regularly from home as well, due to fewer responsibilities at that time.

In October I left that job and have started working at a call center where I am talking to people all day long. Not only has my ‘posting time’ been cut to almost nothing. But the time I spend communicating with others has increased exponentially. Also, my RL responsibilities have increased significantly. Both mine and my wife’s mothers have been diagnosed with dementia and we spend a couple hours a day caring for them.

My posts have become shallow, my characters one dimensional. I am not happy with how I am playing, nor with what I am getting accomplished in RL with what little ‘down time’ I have. I appreciate the stories we have shared together. I know the games will continue, I will read along when I can. I wish everyone good luck and a good year.

'Mary', I'm sad to not see the end of this one. Vaunu has been a hoot, even if he was a smart mouthed turd. Thanks for letting me play him.

It's been a pleasure to have you. :)

To the others,

Do you wish to have another from recruitment, or do you want to try and tackle this with 4?

^

?

:)

Tackle it ourselves :)

press on without our favoured wayang

As you wish, brave gents.

Btw, on special request....

Welcome to lvl 6.
Prepare yourselves, it shall not be simple. ;)

Ooh, sweet!

Although, I now realise that we have levelled up with zero treasure, so are behind the WBL curve.

Makes puppy dog eyes at GM.

< Pets dogs, but likes those cuddly cats a teeny bit more. -_^

I do believe the council would reimburse you somewhat, but they won't have thousands to spare, so some will be material compensation.

This is a secluded town after all.

Lvl 6!

BaB: +1
Saves: +1 all
Bonus Feat: Vital Strike
Spells: +1 lvl2 (make whole)*

Skills:
+1 Perception
+2 Sense Motive

* Finally! Will get that axe fixed. :D

Make whole will be ineffective here.

Your axe was target to ancient magic, it's not broken or destroyed, but properties were affected.

Now imagine if someone would have stuck their head into one of the alcoves....

Should I refrain from other magical or mundane solutions? Because he could learn

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/i/instant-weapon

Would create the axe for 6 minutes.

But if dropping damage from 6d6 down to 2d12 is a Gm balancing decision I’ll stop trying to get around it

You mean 1d12 /3d6, i think. ;)

*looks up holy ice weapon*
Nifty spell, i don't see why you couldn't get it.

At lvl 6 magic vestment only grants a +1 enhancement bonus. It increases at every 4 levels.

Btw, check out this funny sweater

Did some editing before you posted. :p

This level Thandir gets Vital Strike. So he does 2x weapon damage. Thus a difference of 2d12 compared to 6d6.

I think that his best bet is to go with Instant Weapon. Lvl2 Spell slots become dedicated to making his axe for 6 minutes at a time

Jurgan?

Stock up on whatever you think you will need, because the manor will feature some unusual and strong foes.

Let alone sir Mortimer Kemnon.

Guys, as the manor is the final area, it would feel more appropriate if you would bot Uke.

I’m ready to do this!

Turns out Jurgan's account is suffering from the server update. As such, he is unable to log in. :/

:(

Good news. Our scholar once again has access and will join us later today. :)

Time to turn leftover cash into whatever, because lord Kemnon's manor awaits thee.

We've got 3k to spend and some scrolls to pick.

Let's just buy Thandir a shiny new axe!
Sell the shrunk axe, buy a replacement and we'll still have cash left for some anti-undead magic stuff.

We should maybe get some ghost weapon blanch and put it on 50 arrow heads?
plus some holy water? Maybe some garlic and holy symbols?

I've looked into settlements and their wealth capacity, and a small town such as this has a 1000gp limit on an item's worth, if i'm reading it well. A 5000gp limit on their total amount of valuables for sale.

:0

Could we pay a caster to cast lead blades and permanency?

None of the council, or NPCs in town, are of sufficient lvl to cast higher than lvl 3 spells.

give me until the end of the day I'll level up Jurgan

The only issue is that the axe is an exotic weapon. Though really it is just an oversized greataxe, and they have a copy to work off of.

The problem would be that they’d need to make a new one, and I don’t know how long that would take or if it would even be feasible. At the moment, our best bet is for him to just burn his spells on making temporary axes.

leveled up good to go

So,

1) What scrolls will you request from the church?
2) Got everything you need? GM's got the map for the 1st floor of the manor ready.

Thandir, for your convenience, here's Uke's current attacks, HP and saves.

Out of curiosity, what weapon is the instant weapon going to be?
Greatsword, Greataxe?

Butchering axe! Mine got wrecked, and for a Vital Strike build every d6 matters

Can we assume that we bought some basics, as we’ve not spent the cash?
Wand of CLW
6 vials of holy water
6 sunrods
6 alchemists fire
2 potions of lesser restoration
6 acid
Ghost Blanche already applied to 50 arrows

Something like that?

If it falls within the 3k budget, sure.

If i may ask, when i mentioned the budget of 3k for the group, did you each think it was 3k each, or was it clear enough that the budget was a 3k expenses for the group as a whole?

The town is not big and wealthy enough to hand out 12k in valuables.

Just wondering. :o

Yeah, I think that might be why we bought nothing. Too polite

I’ll check the cost mater

Lessor Restoration x2: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Both potions used, Con is back up to full!

Wand of Clw (750gp)
Holy water x6 (150gp)
Alchemist fire x6 (120gp)
Potion of lesser restoration x2 (600gp)
Flask of acid x6 (80gp)
Ghost blanche x5 (10 pieces of ammo for every blanche) (1000gp)

Total budget cost: 2700gp

Let’s throw on a thunderstone and five potions of CLW, to make it up to 3,000.

I’m surprised I was so close.

Thunderstones?

What on Golarion is the use of those.....

Thunderstone!

There's one in the first encounter of Rise of the Runelords.

I was kidding.

I know what they do, after all, bandits in Numeria are prone to carry them.

Ha!

Thandir, though you are inside the lard golem, you can try getting out with an escape artist check or a flat CMB check.

Ooze/golem is narsty!

3PP monster. :)

It’s a cool idea, until it swallows Belegar...

Given the warpriest will break out, there's little worry, i reckon.

Decided not to be cheesy.

Damage: 6d6 drops to 2d12
Reflex save increases from 5 to 7
Initiative increase from 1 to 2
