All sounds good to me.
Interesting question about the code of honour. I think HK has a point in that Thorin has not been acting by the Code. Obviously he is not pround of himself or his actions of late, hence why he has continued to crawl into a bottle. However, he has just begun on a path of redemption (I'm assuming that's part of your goal Thorin to eventually have your guy quit his drinking-or at least binging-and become a full fledged, proud member of his order again?) so perhaps limiting his ability, as in the number of times a day, or something like that, and as he begins to live more in-line with the code, his ability increases likewise? Just a thought.
Yes Nit-Nat, i believe just one of you with the Osiron should be totally fine. Also, Brankh's +1 to Chr ability will defintely aid Catila's Bard abilities. So let's Rock that! ; )
I've added the Chime to Catila's sheet. If there's anything missing from her sheet HK please let me know.
Finally, Catilla has some go left, does anyone need her to buy anything?
Saoirse and Alantian both have silk ropes. Is two enough, should she buy a third? Also I'm sure the church can give us a couple extra torches. Someone else will have to carry the stuff though, I nominate Thorin! : D
Hmmm, HK, Catila asks Valanthe for one of the everburning torches! Any luck?? ; )
Anything else anyone can think of that we're missing?

Exactly what I was thinking about Thorin...great minds, you know. :)
Sheet looks good and yes, Valanthe will hand over a couple of everburning torches, no problem.
I guess I'm to assume the group as a whole is ready. I know "Alanthian" is traveling this week and Thorin's character sheet is just about done. So...if we are in agreement, then I'm going to rock 'n' roll with the next post later today. Itching to roll some virtual dice...cool?

yeah i got part of it posted. my mouth is still hurting so bad i've been coming home and going straight to bed. went back to the oral surgeon's office day before yesterday to make sure i wasn't developing a dry pocket, as the pain has become unbearable but he said everything looked good. Then, his 75 lb. examination light broke off the wall and landed in my face.
I'm still here, just be patient with me. these headaches have to lighten up soon.
whatever you want to do with Thorin, but his powers are only 1x per day as it is, so further limiting them might mean I don't get to use them at all, lol.

Are you f***ing kidding me? Jesus! Are you alright? Figured you hadn't been posting due to your surgery. Mine went well too, but I'm hurting - 'bout time for some bourbon; don't know what else can ease the pain.
No worries about Thorin - he'll do fine.
| hedgeknight |
Just posted the Stairwell Encounter and we are in melee! Whoohoo!
Please be patient with me - I've only ran one very brief battle on here before, so I may have missed perceptions, special abilities, and such. If so, just note it, and I'll retcon what I need to...okay?
Edit: Here is the link to the Character Stats

There's dark humour in getting your face bashed with a lamp at the dentist! Yikes. I just hope it won't complicate things or cause too much pain.
At least HK gets the solace of bourbon whiskey. I can't imagine drinking bourbon with dry sockets after oral surgery "Yeeaaow!" Take it easy, Thorin and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Which brings me Thorin the Cavalier's alcoholism. I'm not sure where the thread was going with this - but I am pretty sure there is no Edict for the Cavalier class which causes the alcoholism itself to affect his honour or have an an impact on his effectiveness as a PC. (If he's really enebriated the DM might have to rule something under circumstances I guess) But the Drunken Fighter thing is cool...and I think it should not penalize the character, no?
He may have failed to live up to the edicts of an order and so was disgraced (does his previous "discrace" precude him for joining an order at level 1? - up to DM). What is his order going to be? (Order of the Dragon? ...or is he undecided?)
And...damn did Brankh..just get whacked for 7 HP?...he did....uuugh!
Can't access the Stairwell Encounter

he's already order of the dragon, which is one of the looser orders. Just sworn to protect friends and allies. He failed at that, and that's why he's been hitting the bottle. I never really thought it would affect any of my abilities, as being a cavalier doesn't really give me any special "powers" per say, I'm not a paladin and nothing is granted by the gods, just by sheer combat experience. Most of the knights you see in film are all drunkards. Maybe not in the low way that Thorin has become, but still getting ripped I think is part of the Cavalier code. However HK wants to run with it I'm fine. It doesn't really matter.
Yeah the Dental lamp falling on me was quite unexpected. This oral surgery office that I went to doesn't look like it's been updated since the Brady Bunch was airing new episodes. I think Mike Brady was the Architect. It wasn't my first choice on places to go but it was in my network, so I went. The pain is steadily getting worse rather than better, and if it isn't better by morning I'm going to the hospital, as I'm all out of pain pills and can't take much more of this.
| hedgeknight |
It's level 1. When Thorin PC failed to deliver on a promise earlier he wasn't in any "order". His road to redemption should begin now, as a full fledged 1st level cavalier, booze or no booze. That's how I see it. Hang in there, Thorin!
Excellent way of looking at it, Nat! Sound good to you, Phil? Hang in there, man! I'd ship you my hydrocodone if I could - stuff makes me sick; I switched to ibuprofen instead.
Wouldn't it be great if all of us could get together and have a few beers and a few laughs some time? Anybody heading to any conventions this summer?
| hedgeknight |
i may try to hit gencon this year, but not sure if Ill be able to take the extra time off of work since i'm already taking a bunch off for my wedding and all that entails.
I'm thinking these crypts are not going to be the most ideal place for Thorin to sober up.
When are you getting hitched?

Hey sorry all! I'm currently living half of the time in the jungle on a small farming community here in the Mexican Riveria Maya. So no connection there at all. I usually come to town every other day at least but sometimes I need to stay at bit longer for whatever reasosns. So in my (hopefully infrequent) longer absences, please do feel free to DMPC Catila if my not posting is holding up the game at all.
And damn Thorin! Sorry to hear about your misfortunes mate! What did the Dentist do/say? You getting free treatment for the next year or two at least??
And both you and Nit-Nat make great points of the Cavalier thing, I guess I was sorta thinking more along the line of Paladin when I voiced my opinions.
Finally ya HK, I would Love to go to a gencon some day. I've never actually been to one! But if it at all is possible this year I for sure will go. When's the next one?
Oh ps, yes defintily group xp, unless one of us goes off and does something extraordinary on their own.

Take care, Khaladon. No worries about Catila - we're moving along just fine. Next Gen Con is August 4-7, but there are other shows throughout the year too.

Ah ok then, well no worries, that gives Lots of time to get ready ; )
Didn't really get why the 'take care' though?

These last few days, while physically painful, have been fun game wise and have allowed me to post quite frequently. Unfortunately, I have to return to work today, so my posting schedule will also return to early mornings and evenings, except for weekends.
I'll check back in tonight.
But if I can drop a DM hint on the Chamber of Seals, the only way you can move on from here is to use the Chime of Opening on one of the doors. :)

Morning folks - I will be in and out of the house just about all day, and with paizo going to be down for maintenance for most of the day, I will look to post again on Sunday.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday - gonna be nice and warm here in Wilmington! And I'm traveling to the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC tonight to see Darius Rucker! Oh, yes, it's time for whiskey!
| NitNat Clo-oose |
You're rubbing it in! It's not fair. I'm back in the city and everything is still brown. Nary a flower peaking through the cold mud. But at least the sun's up over the lake. I have some jars of low wines from last summer's mash in the garage...time to dust off the pot still and cook this year's first batch!
| hedgeknight |
Had a nice time yesterday and last night - Darius Rucker played up a storm...literally! It was pouring rain and lightning as we sprinted to our cars! Still a great show and a good time with friends. Had more than my share of bourbon...but who's complaining!
Another good combat, folks! Let's keep it up!
| hedgeknight |
I just learned that when spontaneous casting a cleric substitutes a spell for a cure spell of the same level....not a spell slot. I think Brankh was supposed to choose a spell to sacrifice in exchange for the CLW he cast earlier. I have adjusted his profile to remove Protection from Evil .
I didn't know that either - thanks Nat!
The game is clipping along folks - I like coming home after work and finding 10 posts! Keep it up!
| hedgeknight |
Good Saturday morning, folks!
Today is going to be busy...well, at least the first part of it. It is Relay For Life weekend and we will be doing the Kids Walk at 10:00 and then a soccer game at Noon.
Home after that and then tonight (weather permitting) will be the opening game for our local Hammerheads soccer team!
But this weekend also begins Spring Break for our county, so I will be off work all next week and able to check in quite frequently. Hopefully we will get a lot of ground/dungeon covered in that time.
Next weekend is Easter and if you have plans to be out of town or "unplugged" just let us know.
Axe High!

I probably wont be around to post on Easter Sunday itself, but otherwise I'm good every other day. Sorry if I held everyone up tonight, I was active this morning but it's tax season and the shop gets busy, which in turn makes for longer hours for me. Feel free to bot me anytime you need if it happens again.

My posting on Friday an Saturday may be spotty. I am visiting realatives in Niagara. I turn off net-accessible devices whenever I am down there...my cell phone service providers tends to ding me with expensive international calls and roaming charges when I get close to the border.
I just realized that if Cole and Brankh's orison-blessings only last for a minute, we should be using them more often. For example, when checking for traps - or entering and searching a room.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. Spring Break is over and that means back to work for me...ugh! Which also means I'm back to posting in the mornings and evenings. However, if you need me to answer something during the day, drop me an email at: yankmychain at gmail dot com.
The tech gods, at least for now, allow us to check that from work.

easter was great. now I get to fire up dunjinni and map out harrowstone prison for my d20pro game I've got going on next sunday. joy. why do my players have to be in california and florida. uggghhh
Nice! I've seen some dunjinni maps - very cool indeed.

Howdy folks!
As you have seen by the last combat post, I have taken control of Saoirse Palelight...and will continue to play her until Kiradia shows back up. I don't like the game held up by the absence of one player and since you guys are new to me, I'll tell you that if you miss two or more posts (especially during combat), your character's life is in the hands of the dice gods, meaning...anything could befall them.
So, as a courtesy to me, your fellow players, and the game itself, please let us know when you are going to be MIA.
On a lighter note, it's NFL Draft night!!! And I'm going to be multi-tasking with TV, computer, bourbon, food, and God knows what else through the evening! I'm just praying the power doesn't go out with all of these nasty storms passing through our area.
And if any of you are in the path of these deadly tornados, may the good Lord keep you safe!

Very nice work, Phil!
Today is gonna be a full Saturday for me, folks. My son has his final soccer game of the season at 10:30, but prior to that, I'm heading to the field to help with breakfast and grill some dogs for lunch!
Then it's FREE COMIC BOOK DAY at our local comic book stores! Whooohooo!
Then my son has an appointment for a hair cut...so I should be offline most of the day, but will check back in tonight.
