Legacy of Fire

Game Master Megan Robertson

Megan, are we waiting on something particular?

Me to emerge from a rather busy week, I think :)

I really want to post something... but I need some answers about Silena's search of the battle market and a tally of any loot discovered.

Megan posted were just waiting for her.

Thus far... this is the Loot.

{Refuge of the All-Seeing Eye}
{2} Leather Sack: Bronze Mask-Nethys; Golden Pectoral]

{5} {Haidar's Corpse} -
+1 chain shirt
Pair of battered saddlebags containing -
{Set of battered ceramic idols, torn and bloodstained silk veil, and ragged clothing}

Kalemarane City
{7}
+1 Longsword
potion of bless
Scarab-Magical [wand of open/close {14 charges}
potion of see invisibility
a few old trinkets

Battle Market
{C15}
breastplate-Mw [350gp]
flindbar 'Nunchaku'{?}-Mw [302gp]

Silena
< FIENDFELL > +1 Lawful Outside Bane Great Axe
< LEOPARD'S PAW > +1 vicious punch dagger {Katar}
The katar or punch dagger looks old - maybe even 2-300 years old - and is 15 inches in length. An embossed image of a ferocious Katapeshi leopard adorns the weapon's hilt, while strange shadowy patterns writhe across its damascened blade, even in strong light. As it strikes, the extra damage from the vicious property manifests as if a great cat's claws had cruelly raked the victim's flesh with powerful critical hits!
Ring of Featherfall
potion of clairvoyance

Sonya
Ring of Jumping
2x potions of cure light wounds
potions of bless

Samuel

Hijiro
potion of expeditious retreat

Barezata al-Zarqa’
potion of cure moderate wounds

Bronze mask and golden pectoral can be sold.

+1 chain would only be a small improvement in AC for me and would come at the cost of an armor check penalty. I think I'll pass on that and the mwk breastplate. If anyone else wants them, armor up, otherwise, I think we should sell them.

Everything in the saddlebags can be sold although I'm not sure if any of it will bring anything.

Potion of bless. One of us should take that for buffing purposes. Tactically I think that Silena and Barezata probably do the most damage per round and would benefit the group the most from hitting more often.

I don't think any of us can use the wand of open/close without UMD so I'd probably recommend selling it.

I think we decided the potion of see invisibility can go to Barezata unless we wind up with someone that can cast glitterdust. (I've already added it to my inventory)

The old trinkets are probably worthless but we can sell them.

As far as I am concerned we can sell the flindbar. I have no use for it.

Also if any one can make use of the ring of jumping just speak up. I don't forsee Sonya needing it anytime soon.

I have no real desire for anything on the list, so I'm okay with selling anything that isn't claimed by others and splitting the proceeds.

Since mobility is helpful for an archer and I am investing in Acrobatics, I could definitely see making use of that ring. Definitely interested if no one else is.

Feel free to npc Samuel as needed for the next couple of weeks. My work situation is finally achieving some stability, but my housing situation is going to take a few more weeks and a good solid paycheck to settle down, with internet access being spotty.

Its been a couple weeks.. I think, Megan... we're waiting on a post...?

Just a quick update on my status:

My father in law is having triple bypass surgery on Tuesday. I will be on the road traveling on Monday, at the hospital on Tues. and perhaps home by Thurs or Fri. depending on his recovery. During that time, I will be posting but times and frequency may be weird or spotty. My apologies in advance.

Every good wish and prayer for your father-in-law's speedy recovery, Hijiro.

I'm going to be away 10-17 April, probably no internet access.

I'm back in an apartment with internet access. Hopefully the instability of the last few months is finally over, and I can get settled into a routine after I get the rest of my stuff moved in next week.

I should go away more often... some nice role-play there :)

Welcome back.

Ya, good to see you again Megan!

Any ETA on when we can expect a post?

Oddly enough... :)

OH.. hmmm... looks like I've made an oversite.

Hey Megan... Silena has the campaign trait...

{Campaign} Missionary: +1 Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Kno {Religion}, Perform {any} or Sense Motive [Choose One as class skill]

But it appears I never actually selected which of those skills would be considered a 'Class Skill'... Diplomacy, Intimidate, Kno {Religion}, And Sense Motive are already class skills for Fighter, Cleric and War Priest.

Mind if I select Perform as he class skill?

Also, you never answered if Silena found any other loot/treasure in the various rooms of the Battle Market? Our party is a bit low on items per our level... not specifically Silena, but Sonya, and Samuel certainly!

I just realized that is my 3rd natural 20 on diplomacy checks this game. I'm getting a good laugh out of that.

Will post later tonight. This week has been a bit crazy.

I was hoping Silena would find some magic or useful loot in the Battle market when we forced all the gnolls out. But I Never got an answer one way or the other on the matter.

BTW, Sonya has Communal Protection from Evil as one of her spells if that alters what you would prepare.

AH! Yes.. it might indeed! Then perhaps a communal resist energy?

Silena, I saw this post and it made me think of us.

Paladin of Sarenrae accused of torturing priests of Zon Kuthon!

When questioned about the act, one of the victims said, "It was horrible... she tied us up and... and... did NOTHING to us. Not even a single lashing."

The Paladin in question has confirmed the above quote as the truth.

Silena, I saw this post and it made me think of us.

I think you're safe though. Sonya doesn't even have rope on her character sheet.

I'm sure someone can lend her some if she wants it!

It's a gaming variant on the old joke: -

"Hit me!" said the masochist.

"Shan't" said the sadist.

LOLS! Don't worry... Silena is not a sadist anyways... she IS a bit of a masochist, one has to be to be a worshipper of ZON-KUTHON. It feeds into her philosophy of 'suffering builds strength to endure...' hence the silver pigmented tattoo on her chest and all the silver jewelry piercing her skin when she is mildly allergic to silver... even before she became a wereleopard. There IS no wisdom to the service of the 'Midnight Lord'..all he cares about is suffering inflicted in his name... he is mad and has no goals or insight, he only wishes to torture all existence with suffering and torment~ willingly accepted... or not so willingly accepted. Silena's "philosophy" are her own insights into the usefulness of pain and suffering and any fanatic of Zon-Kuthon would call her heretic if she voiced her insights.

Silena does not get pleasure out of hurting others... well at least not the innocent, she does enjoy seeing evil beings suffer, though! :)

Her skills as a Torturer...er 'Interrogator' are just practical pragmatism! It is what she was trained to do by the church... and there are legitimate {if admittedly, not very moral}... governments and organizations that pay highly for such skills.

Silena is an even better doctor and healer than she is a tor~ "Interrogator". :)

I'll get a post up by sometime tonight. I enjoy my new job, but it's taking a lot of energy out of me as I get used to a completely different schedule.

Seeing as these are Sonya's spells and they are unchangable...

Oracle Spells Known (CL 5th; concentration +9)
2nd (5/day)—
cure moderate wounds
flaming sphere (DC 16)
oracle's burden[APG] (DC 16)
communal protection from evil[UC]
lesser restoration
scorching ray

1st (7/day)—
burning disarm (DC 15)
burning hands (DC 15)
cure light wounds
detect undead
liberating command[UC]
murderous command[UM] (DC 15)
sun metal[UC] (DC 15)

0 (at will)-
create water
detect magic
light
mending
spark[APG] (DC 14)
stabilize

I will make sure Silena does not overlap with her spell choices fo rthe day as that would be somewhat redundant as Sonya can do those same spells more often in a day that she can.

Silena will NOT prepare -
2nd - lesser restoration
1st - detect undead, sun metal, liberating command, or murderous command
0Lvl - mending, or light {she can't cast it and her Wayfinder can}.

But create water, detect magic, and stabilize are very good spells to have over lap on and there are not many 0lvl choices that are any better.

Silena will however Always have guidance prepared.

Silena will also show Sonya where she keeps her scrolls on her person and how they are organized ...giving Sonya permission to take and use the scrolls as needed.

Alright... I need an answer on this from Megan.

Megan, Silena is a negative channeler. When she channels negative energy to target undead they heal, when she targets living creatures they are harmed.

Does Silena need the feat Channel Alignment to target living Outsiders {which most are} to inflict damage on them?

These are the relevant discussions on the matter...

Negative Energy Affinity and Channel Energy

Channeling and Evil Outsiders

List of Channel Energy Discussions

What is YOUR ruling on the matter?

If Silena does not need Channel Alignment... she would take Craft Wondrous Item instead.

I think that positive and negative eneries are neutral, it's the use you put them to that determines whether it's a good or evil act. So Silena won't need to channel alignment to use negative energy if she is doing so with good intent.

So if there are no magic item requests from the party for Silena.. we can move on to assaulting the Temple Crypt.

No items for me and ready to go once we figure out if I can either have S.W. craft silver blanche for me or if I can purchase silver arrows. If both are no, I'm ready.

Waiting on you to open the scene at the crypt Megan.

OK...

I am going in for surgery tomorrow. It is a one-day out-patient procedure but I probably won't post much if at all tomorrow, at least until nighttime... depends on how I feel... bot me as necessary if required. Thanks.

Hope you feel better soon!

All,

I'm also a player in one of Megan's other games, Carrion Crown. We've got a long-standing group that is down a couple members and would like to add a player or two. Curious whether any of you would be interested in joining. We're currently in Book 2, perhaps 1/4 or 2/3 of the way in. Level 4. If you're interested, pop over to the discussion thread. I play a life oracle and we also have a rogue and a barbarian.

Thank you, Barezata. Anyone interested is welcome to bob on over and take a look.

Bumping. Curious when we can expect a post.

When I remember to look in and am not swamped... like now :)

Will post later tonight. Just got off work and am running a live game for the first time tonight, with a group of 8 on top of that, so my mind is a bit full right now.

Have fun!

I'm going to have to drop the game. Ever time I think my energy levels are returning to a balanced state, my body informs me otherwise. While I have the time to play, I frequently find myself lacking the necessary focus. I wish you all the best of luck, and enjoy the campaign.

Good luck with everything S.W. Hope you feel better soon!

That's a shame. You'll be welcome back if and when you feel ready to return.

Waiting on you to move us along Megan.
