Yay! I'll need a day or two to level, if that's okay....busy week.
But I love all that groovy alchemist's stuff in his lab! Don't mind adding all those to my formulae book at all!
Congrats on finishing up the first book guys! Locke is level 5 and ready to rejoin his friends. I have the details of his leveling up somewhere and I'll post them when I find them. He'll be returning with a hard hitting vengeance.
I decided to go for Rapid Reload rather than Quickdraw for the L5 feat.
I also changed up his visual cues: less "Mad Max/Zardoz," and more "Man With No Name."
As an aside, I was listening to soundtracks from classic movie Westerns last night. (I was trying to get into the right mindset while writing the plot of a Weird West Fate minicampaign for my gaming group.) While listening to the soundtrack of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, I came across a track that I think could be Zoreck's theme song.
Great call there Zoreck! That movie has so many fantastic moments, I cannot even tell you. Heck all of the Man With No Name movies are awesome and Morricone is a heck of a composer!
Somehow, I've ignored the automatic bonus progression stuff so far! Don't know how I missed that for the last few levels, lol.

My posting may be a little more erratic than usual for the next few days. First of all, my daughter is graduating high school today, and we have a bunch of relatives in town to help celebrate.
Secondly, I accidentally triggered an anti-theft routine on my phone, and it's now temporarily bricked until Sunday. All of my updates will have to be via my laptop, which is harder to do a quick post from when I have 15 minutes to kill.
Looking over the loot list.
When Locke comes back, he might well want that mithral breastplate, but I don't see any of us using the living steel shield. Likewise the spur rifles we've found. We should probably sell those.
Who is carrying the healing items - the hemochem, the cardioamp and the vive?
I agree Locke should get the mithral breastplate.
We can sell the living steel shield, that is fine by me. We decided to hang onto the spur rifles since we figured selling them would draw too much attention to ourselves as they are only used by the klaven. Since the Hegemony would also be looking for us now, hanging onto them would be wise.
Feel free to carry all the healing items Mayenyi. We just grouped them all together and assumed Astraea was carrying them for us.
Can't say no to a Mithral Breastplate! Sorry I haven't managed to post in gameplay yet, the message boards have been almost impossible for me to get into for the past few days. They seem fine to me now though, so hopefully today is the day!
Hey, folks.
As much as I hate to say it, my posting will continue to be erratic for the next two weeks. This week, I'm at a week-long off-site training session. I just found out this morning that the new person I'd trained to back-fill for me is now also out of the office due to a family emergency. This means that I'll need to put in 3-4 hours of work after hours every night. I am not going to have much (if any) time for online gaming this week.
And next week, I'm on an actual vacation, with limited access to the Internet. My regular back-up should be back to back-fill for me, so at least I won't have to worry about work piling up.
Hopefully, I'll be able to return to my regular posting schedule after I'm back from vacation on 7/10.
Zed: Please bot Zoreck as needed.
Anyone mind if I take 150 gold out of the coffers to buy 5 acids and 5 alchemist's fire?
Go ahead Rikkan.
Cool. I'll put them on my sheet then. Please subtract that from the kitty.
I want to send a quick update letting you know that I am still alive. The training was intense, and of course I had a ton of work come in while I was there, so I was up pretty late after-hours keeping my head above water.
My back-up returns next week while I'm on vacation for the upcoming week. I won't have regular wifi or wireless phone service until at least Wednesday, so I'll probably stay dark for another week.
Thanks for you patience!
I'm back!
Not that it matters for this fight, boss, but you probably should update whatever file you're using for our initiatives: Mayenyi picked up Imp Init this level, so she's a +5 rather than a +1 for initiative now.

Noted... Just dragged and dropped from the last fight - keep on meaning to set up a note on my computer with folk's initiatives ready to go... let's see if I can't get that done before the next bunch of unfriendly folks from Zel-Argose decide they don't like you...
In PbPs that I GM, I keep a formatted list of PCs' initiative and perception checks on the "Campaign" tab that I can just copy-and-paste when needed. I do try to make sure I reality-check the stats after PCs advance.
Sorry... RL has been craptastically busy for me the past few days.
I've managed to sneak in a few posts from my phone on other games when I have 10 minutes to myself, but I can't rally post anything that requires a lot of effort an/or my PC right now.
I'll hopefully be able to post tonight.
FYI, I have removed Kasia from the game - whilst they are active on the boards, Kasia's player haven't posted here for over a month and they're not answering any PM's. I guess they were struggling with the direction of the game or whatever... anyways, I will move Kasia into NPC territory for a short while before removing them from the story...
Sorry for my lack of posts these past couple of days, I am visiting my family across the country, but should be able to get back to posting now.

Folks, I have had a busy day packing for holidays and then tomorrow will be travelling - I expect to have wi-fi / internet where we are staying but I should think the pace will slow for a week... apologies (you can always check out the Gen Con coverage instead!!!)
Have fun, zed!
I spent most of the last week traveling as constant plane delays turned what should have been an 8 hours, one day flight, into multiple days. I am finally back in my apartment with a working PC. I'll post after I get some real sleep!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
...and that's 3,000 posts and going strong!!! We've lost a couple of the original players (and I have no idea what happened to Kasia's player) but I really like the dynamic of the team as it stands - here's to another 3,000 posts and a host of new worlds to explore!!!
On a related note, Summer holidays are finished here so, with a following wind and assuming that my workload doesn't spike, I should be back to a daily posting rate...

Hey guys. I apologize for the lengthy absence. I've been dealing with some pretty serious health issues recently, and they've kept me away from a lot of things, but in particular I have had little time for the forums. I'm getting treatment now, but it's likely to be a long time before I'm back to where I should be. I am sorry for being gone with such little notice, and it's been a blast to play with all of you.

Thanks for letting us know - Hope your health issues improve and you can get back to the things you enjoy doing.
@Everyone else - Folks, that is us down to four players (which is kinda okay) but we probably ought to start thinking about replacements now that we've lost Kasia and Mayenyi... any ideas / thoughts?
I wouldn't mind if we could get ourselves a divine caster again, but I also wouldn't mind seeing how we do with just the four of us.
I agree we could use some divine healing, at the very least some potions or perhaps even a wand. Still if we have to go with the four of us then I am OK with that.
Hope you are okay, Shisumo!
I'm fine with however you want to play it, DM. If you want another, I'm good with it!
Since we have lost our primary healer, I was thinking it would be a good idea to (retroactively) stock up on some healing items, unless you all think we can get by with the syringes we found previously.

Happy for you folks to retcon some healing equipment in....
I think we need healing help, too. A couple wands and potions would be good.
I've got a +10 UMD so I can activate the wands about half the time. IIRC, it takes a 20.
...and, as each of the group step through the portal and into the unknown, they level up to Level 6!!! Congratulations... don't forget that from ABP at 6th level, the character chooses one mental ability score (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma) to gain a permanent +2 enhancement bonus.
Normal rules re: posting levelling up details in the Discussion Thread...
Woot! I love leveling!
I usually level during the weekend, but this one is packed. I'll try to level in the next day or two, if I can get a few minutes to get it done.
Level up changes:
+5 HP +3 CON = 54 HP (+6 temp HP)
+1 BAB
+1 to all saves.
Enhancement bonus for ABP to CHA (total 16)
Skills: Bluff, Intimidate, Heal, Linguistics, Perception, Sleight of Hand (BG), Use Magic Device
Class abilities: internal buffer 1, utility wild talent (Kinetic Healer)
*I also want to swap out Telekinetic Haul for Telekinetic Finesse with GM Approval.
With selecting the Kinetic Healer wild talent, Drancis can take over the role of primary healer, although he would be also saddling you with some non lethal damage from Burn. Probably would need to pick up some other healing sources too he he.
+1 BAB
+8 HP (+5 from hit dice, +2 from CON, +1 from Toughness)
+1 Fort
+1 Will
+1 Ref
+Mental Prowess +2 (CHA)
+Rage Power
+Song of Strength
+1 2nd level spell
+4 Raging Song rounds (+2 from level, +1 from CHA, +1 from favoured class bonus)
+1 rank Handle Animal
+1 rank Linguistics
+1 rank Perception
+1 rank Perform (Oratory)
+1 rank Spellcraft
+1 rank UMD
+1 rank Knowledge (Local)
+1 rank Knowledge (Religion)
I still need to decide on the spell and the rage power... I haven't even chosen my first rage power still. I am thinking since people don't usually accept my raging song I should either go with something that really boosts myself, or get something that gives the power utility out of combat (Celestial Totem + Path of Glory for the heals, or start on the air elemental path to get us all a good fly speed at 13th level)
6thlevel of alchemist
HP 5 + Con and FC
+1 BAB
+1 to all saves
+2 Intelligence
Discovery: Dispelling Bomb
1 extra 2nd level extract per day
New Formulae added: CMW
Skills: (13 added, due to Intelligence increase and retroactive points: Perception, Disable Device, Spellcraft (x2), UMD, Know. Nature (x2), Know. Arcana(x2), Craft Alchemy, Heal, Slight of Hand, Survival.
Okay... Zoreck is leveled up!
+1 level of Barbarian (Savage Technologist), making him a Barbarian 5/Gunslinger 1
HP: +9
+1 BAB
+1 to all saves
+2 Wisdom (also raises Grit to 3 and +1 to Will save)
Skills: Raised Acrobatics, Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Know (local), Know (dungeoneering), Perception, and Sleight of Hand.
Rage: Increases to 14 rounds/day, now gets 12 temporary hp (2 hp/HD.. it should have been 10 on the previous level, and I never updated it.)
New Barbarian (Savage Technologist) ability:
Crack Shot (Ex) On a successful ranged attack with a firearm while raging, add Dexterity bonus to damage rolled (+3).
We do have enough gold to pick up a Wand of Cure Light Wounds, so I recommend we get one before we head out to Rythes.
Assuming this is OK with everyone, I will add the wand to the Loot List.
GM Zed: Could you re-post the effects of the various syringes we found earlier?
Please get one, Drancis. We will definitely need healing!
Life took an unexpected turn. It might be a few days before I get a chance to post again.
I'm back a bit sooner than I thought I'd be, thankfully.

So folks, I thought maybe you might be interested in this horrible little tale that I'd like to tell. Your untrustworthy storyteller stands at the doorway, keys jangling at his belt and bids you to sit by the remnants of his fire...With a twitching brow and a faraway gaze, he wants to tell you about the Blight...
Zed, I’ve dotted for interest in a most excited manner, but I’m not going to submit anything until the website is trustworthy again. I don’t trust not losing important stuff while character creating right now!
I never know what to do when things are flying!
