Legacy of Fire

Game Master Megan Robertson

S.W. just sent me a PM asking if we were looking to recruit again, so I asked him to come on over.

Greetings, all. How has the campaign treated everyone since I departed?

Not bad... if a bit slow.. but its PbP... you learn to expect that.

So what will it be folks... the Kitsune or the Slayer, though nothing says we couldn't take both if Megan was up for it?

How far along is it at this point? And what level do I need to get Samuel up to?

You may take both if you so wish. We're at 4th level now.

Samuel is ready. I bumped his gear up to 6k worth.

6K! Man.. I think we the players are waay under our loot for our level. Not your fault though S.W.

I was thinking the same thing.

Where are you in the story so far? This AP definitely gives out treasure in spurts, and you may well be in a down spot for that.

We have like four more building to do in Kalmarane.

B1 - Slave Market: Large Snake Lair <KILLED>
B2 - Gatehouse - there's a warthog kept there.
B3 - Inn, no longer in use alas!
B4 - Stables
B5 - Wharfmaster Manor - rather nice and surprisingly intact 3-story house
B6 - Mill: Peryton Lair <KILLED>
B7 - Tannery: Umdrella's Home
B8 - Trade Alliance Guildhall that was.
B9 - Watch Gatehouse - there's a gnoll who keeps a pack of hyenas living there now <2x Gnolls - Slain, all 6x Hyena's KILLED>
B10 - A palace - in olden days it's said that it was kept in instant readiness against a Pactmaster coming a-visiting.
B11 - the Battle Market.
B12 - Ruined Temple to SARENRAE: Hecuva Lair <KILLED>
B13 - Graveyard {searched - Laid Hecuva to rest}

The 'BOLD' areas have yet to be done.

You haven't yet hit the main concentration of stuff then. I may need to reduce Samuel's overall gold to keep things in balance. That or reduce how much he gets when you do hit the jackpot.

Hi... Hijiro here, checking in... leveled up to 4... GM- please let me know if my equipment is in line gp-wise with what the others have, and if I need to add or subtract from my gear. thanks.

also: Having oral surgery tomorrow so might be a bit out of things... we'll see if I can post or not on whatever pain meds they give me, lol... I should be fine by saturday though.

Howdy all! Last newbie checking in and same goes for me. I went with WBL, but if that's too high, just let me know and I'll adjust it down.

Think we'll hang loose till you decide if you want us to just show up on the scene or be inside the building or elsewhere in town.

Barezata could easily have originally been in town, disillusioned with the current residents and ready to join the liberators.

Now as to introducing the new characters, I see 3 options: -

1. You have been here all along, we just didn't notice you.

2. You are in Kelmarane of your own accord, perhaps you wanted to see if any coin was to be made in the Battle Market - and just decide to team up with the party.

3. Lady Almah has continued recruiting adventurers, you were told to report to her camp - now at the monastery - and have been sent on to catch up with the party.

Amy preferences? I understand at least one of you has played to about this point in the AP before, so I don't need to explain too much to bring you up to speed.

It might be easiest to say that Samuel stayed at the temple of Nethys and on his way back to the group ran into the new folks, and they caught up just a bit ago without the rest of the party noticing until after dealing with the gnolls.

I would go with that.

That works for me as well.

That's fine with me too... I've played to about here in the module before, but not with this character.

Sounds reasonable and cool to me! :)

All right then, we'll continue on that basis.

So I guess we need introductions cause none of us were here with you S.W. It makes sense that If you found our camp Cailin would have sent you our way as he does know you. Do you guys want to introduce yourselves?

Silena was briefly with s.w. she knows him.

Sonya was with the party briefly when he was as well, so she would at least remember his name.

And in other news, at long last I have found a job! I start next Wednesday (1 October - also offspring's 18th birthday). Hopefully it will not impinge too much on role-playing, but it may take a few days to get into the new rhythm.

Ok.. I'm back online now.. older computer but at least it works...

Welcome back Silena!

Just about getting everything sorted now, but I leave the house at 6.20am and get home 7.20pm! Medals and role-playing websites are getting neglected; I'm still managing to play a bit but DMing is a struggle...

No worries Megan. We appreciate every post. I'm in your Carrion Crown game too and honestly, its nice to have a couple games running at a leisurely pace.

OK... Team Huddle time!

What are we planning to do here? Just start a fight? Or sneak around taking out Kardwann's minions one at a time?

They way you all entered most without even rolling stealth leads me to believe you are planning on just provoking a fight?

Which Silena is not opposed to mind you... she s ready to cast Cause Blindness/Deafness at Kardswann from the shadows to start this fight... but don't want to kick this hornet's nest if you guys are thinking of talking first.

So what do you want me to do here?

I think this combat has taken so long to get going, that nobody knows. In all honest this game is so slow Erizi is up for just starting a fight, and getting this section of the AP over with one way or another.

So, sorry if it PO's the stealthy diplomatic players, but Erizi is ready to rumble. He might be persuaded to wait a round or two...but we've been exploring the battle market for 8-real life months now, and I'm anxious to learn something about the story of the AP...

I'm 100% with you on that Erizi...so... Sorry folks.. Silena is going...loud!

Barezata is fine with that approach. She's only going stealth because she hits way harder when she pops out. Take the big guy out fast.

Just be ready for a hard, long, drawn out fight where the casters are going to be of limited help or getting hit by a swarm of minions all at once. I understand the desire to get right into it, but the big boss is 3 floors up and there's several floors of minions between us and the boss. I've seen this combat before; I won't object to starting it now, just be ready for a mess by doing so.

Sorry for being so long not replying... i'm all for sneaking and taking out minions one at a time, but it seems a little late for that approach, (this straightforward, take them all on at once approach in the battle market is how my last party was a tpk... hate to see it happen again.

Impressive Sonja! Will see what happens now. Hit and run would still seem to be a possibility if diplomacy fails as long as we don't get pinned down.

Heads up that I may not be able to post again until Monday or Tuesday so please GMPC or PCPC if needed to keep the action flowing. I have a very full day of business travel tomorrow followed by a Con where I have heavy GM duties on Fri-Sat-Sun. Monday will be catching up on work and hopefully most PbPs, but I should be fully caught up by Tuesday.

We gonna get a post from our GM... or Hijiro?

BTW, I'd been a bit slammed this week, but fully back now!

Sorry wasn't getting updates on my computer... will read aND respond when I get home.

Hey Megan... you still there?

Yes... ready to move on? Waiting for you to describe how you want to sneak up on Kardswann.

Opps! Ok.. will do! sorry...didn't know you were waiting on me? Thought I had described that in my last post?

I'm continuing right behind Silena and have a Stealth roll posted, but can post a new one if you need it.

Waiting on a post from you Megan...

Got busy (or is that busier!)... sorry!

no problem... glad to see you're still with us.

Is a post in the making? Like to get everyone involved in this fight...

Still waiting on a post Megan...
