Hell Hath No Fury (Inactive)

Game Master The Morphling

Ah yes, rod, not wand. Shows how little I play spell casters. I never even thought of making liberal use of Guidance until a certain divine caster pumped the party up before combat in another game we're in.

Arruk, good show on the message spell reaction.

We'll move on when Vance gets to post.

Writing now. Apologies for the delay.

Whew, that took a while. It can be so difficult to know where to cut, sometimes.

It's glorious. GLORIOUS!

I never fell out of love with the idea of a villainous carriage driver. I think Vance was the first person in the recruitment thread who I decided absolutely, positively must be offered a spot.

Amatsu, if I recall, was the first submission - and my only hesitation was that I wasn't sure if the creepy Tian ghostly witch-woman would be as amazing in practice as she appeared in my imagination. (She totally is.)

And Justimar and Arruk I know from other games, giving me absolute proof they were excellent choices.

*sighs dreamily* I'm so lucky to have these players. This is wonderful.

Anyway! I will make my next post soon (it's a bit long and involved). In the meantime if Justimar wants to make a post about the amazing carriage (I love the name), feel free.

It's glorious. GLORIOUS!

I never fell out of love with the idea of a villainous carriage driver.

Yeah, it is a really inspired idea. I'm happy to see the execution has been as equally inspired, and this carriage - Arruk's a pretty simple recipe, but I have no clue what he thinks of that beautiful monstrosity.

Amatsu, if I recall, was the first submission - and my only hesitation was that I wasn't sure if the creepy Tian ghostly witch-woman would be as amazing in practice as she appeared in my imagination. (She totally is.)

Oh yeah, she's pulled off really nicely too. Someone said earlier that we represent different kinds of evil, and Amatsu's the stuff of nightmares evil. It is really cool.

And Justimar and Arruk I know from other games, giving me absolute proof they were excellent choices.

I applied for the WotR game you both are in, and was informed after the selection by the GM that I just missed the cut. In talking with GM Clebsch about the choices he made, I said I knew he was getting a good player in Morphling, and told him what I am about to tell Justimar (but don't get a big head about it or anything): Franti the Fool is my absolute favorite submission that I've ever seen on these boards. I was very happy to see that Franti's player was selected for this game.

And of course, having gamed with Morphling, I new I had to apply for this game. I only apply for GMs any more, and my lofty expectations have been met and exceeded.

So, virtual hugs, everybody - I'm really enjoying your contributions!

It is funny, as Franti (my Jester) and Justimar play as exact opposites. Alignments are switched, one does strict planning, far-flung planning on my part, while Franti is literally first reaction impulses, not thinking of consequences. I am flattered, really, thank you.

This is a great group, literally incredible. I hope I can match the carriage introduction with my Eidolon's appearance. Stellar.

Hey, the great thing about spiders is that all those extra arms makes them the best at hugging!

You guys make me so happy. I'm glad you like this game as much as I do!

I hope I can match the carriage introduction with my Eidolon's appearance. Stellar.

Yeah, I am really looking forward to that moment.

So, unfortunately for my post, I am leaving tomorrow for 3 days of Pathfinder at a local convention, so I spent tonight preparing for the games I'm GMing there, and haven't been able to get a post up for Hell's Vengeance yet, and it may have to wait until Monday (or over the weekend if I manage to find the time). Apologies!

Feel free to throw some more roleplay around prior to the next post of mine. I always get excited when there's an unread post!

Soon! Soon! I had a sick boyfriend to take care of last night, but tonight I shall get our next post.

Ta-da! And the Sheriff's identity is finally revealed...

Hoping to get something from Vance soon. Busy week again, I'll make the next post when I figure out how Amatsu's brand-new best friend will react...

Just letting everyone know, I was laid off on Friday so I've not had a chance to check my games for the last few days as I've been focusing on that.

I'll probably be able to post regularly again within a day or two, but it will have to wait until I have gotten my resume and everything together.

Hope everyone works out. Real life always takes importance here. Everyone understands tough times, and we'll all be happy to see the game resume as things come together for you. Take your time :)

Yep, I'll be here. Good luck, Game Master.

Promising job interview in the morning! This might all be behind us soon. Fingers are thoroughly crossed. Casting heroism on myself beforehand for those morale bonuses!

Going to bed excited!

Great to hear, GM, and good luck with the interview!

Update: No job yet. It's been good to take a short break from this campaign the last few weeks to have more attention on my job search but I will be booting this back up shortly as I have done the lion's share of the work on my resume and setting up appointments with various recruiting agencies.

Weekends are always hard for me but I will have a post up soon. Back into action!

Just posting to confirm that I am still around. I don't feel Amatsu has anything to add at the moment.

Cool. You guys have pretty much gotten what you needed from this scene. We'll move on shortly.

I'm still here as well, and in the same coach as Amatsu.

I think we're all just headed to the Ash House, yeah?

I'm set for the Ash House, I'm done conniving for now.

Figured I'd give you guys the good news and let you know I just got a job offer and I've decided to take it. :)

Congrats, Game Master! On a related note, I'll be travelling tomorrow to Texas for a job interview that will take me through Tuesday. It is nonstop from when I get off the plane, so please bot Arruk until I can jump back into things Wednesday.

Thank you!

Congratulations Game Master, and good luck Arruk. Texas huh? Sounds hot ^^

What a Justimar thing to think, but my first thought on seeing the map was "This place is smaller than I imagined."

Thanks, Vance, it was very hot :)

So who's still around? I think we have plenty of opportunity for people to get posting again. I'd like to get this moving once more.

Still here! I'm up for continuing, no matter the pace.

It is funny, I was just mentioning how I was hopeful this would get started again not a few hours ago. Dreams do come true, it seems.

Still here as well, and looking forward to getting things going again!

I'm settling into my new schedule, so I should be good. Turns out I get paid to play with my phone between phone calls in this new job, so I should be plenty available.

Justimar could have returned to the Ash House to check in with the others, if you want to get involved in Arruk's investigation.

Probably not good for the party / posting, but I don't think Justimar is quite at the point where he would visit the Ash House when he wasn't requested. He is definitely intrigued by every person there, and everyone he has worked with, but there is a sense of superiority and pride that isn't going anywhere for a bit.

Hmm, regardless, I'll have something up before the day is over and get him to the manor regardless.

Still here :)

Also still here

Gang's all here! Let us paint the town red!

And we're back in the thick of combat. :)

And wouldn't it be a joy to find a new playmate for Hime...

Without a word, Amatsu retrieves her doll from between the folds of her robe and a needle from her hair, which she then plunges into her doll with her eyes still locked on the advancing creature.

Amatsu activates her aura of desecration and uses her bonethrall ability

It takes some pressure off my back knowing my Eidolon can't possibly be as terrifying as Amatsu.

Amatsu is truly terrifying. Quite novel really.

It's delightful. And this is a spectacular catch, mechanically speaking, as it is a one hit-die undead with the advanced template.

That encounter was worth 150 XP each, bringing your total to 985 out of 2,000.

Late-Game Party Composition:

• Justimar.
  
• Justimar's Eidolon, The Chained Man.
  
• 1 to 5 summoned somthings depending on what Justimar feels like having at a given moment.
  
• Vance.
  
• Vance's Carriage (Animated by Animate Object).
  
• Arruk.
  
• Arruk's cohort mage-servant purchased solely with the extra gold from protecting Justimar.
  
• Amatsu.
  
• Amatsu's spider summon, Yurei (but even scarier now).
  
• Little Hime.
  
• 1 to 20 Ghosts, depending on what Amatsu feels like having at a given moment.

It's just like Pokemon Go!

Always a questionable idea, but we could split up and each take one of the decrees, or split the group in half and each team tackles two of them.

We might want to leave the ghost at home, that might go poorly with some people, especially as she was apparently a war hero? and this town has many veterans.

From the description, I'm not sure anyone would be able to recognize her, but I'm fine with leaving the ghost behind regardless; gotta have something to whip out for when we really need to start crushing the peasants.

With regards to splitting up the party, I worry about a character getting cornered with something they can't deal with or conversely someone getting left out from an encounter, so I'd vote stay together, but I'm fine with whatever everyone else wants to do.

Also it is, to be blunt, a gods-damned ghost. Assuming you can keep it under you control, yeah, peasants will be afraid and not stand a chance.

Staying together is definitely the safest move. Between the Sheriff and the Drunks at the bar, we might see a bit of battle.

Let's keep together just in case. I want to be there when Cimri gives her aunt the message >:3

Very hectic last few days - I'll get a gameplay post up today ASAP.

Is there a consensus where you would like to go first?

And yeah, there is no way anyone could recognize Amatsu's new pet from her appearance in life.

Last Stand, Castle Gate, Church Square, Jail?

All good by that? Or indifferent in the very least?

Sounds good to me!

Works for me as well
