Legends in the Making: Slayers of Renown

Game Master BloodWolven

Dropped into the main game. Hope that's ok and not a complete non-sequitur.

I would greatly prefer if everyone were at the council already and got a position now rather than in 6 months. That might be weeks or months away.

With 6 other PC's, will Sable still be a PC? 7 players is on the high side if we're all adventuring together (not that we have to do that... But it would be fun to bring the whole party).

Also, how does a Surtova member work out with the princess?

Best role for Halseen might be magister. It'll be awkward to rearrange that role though...

I am fine with them at the council they need to walk in and present their case.

It would be fun to bring the whole party, and trust me you will need it. You can try to take the position away from Sable in game.

That is an excellent point, how will the Surtova member work out with the princess... we will find out.

We could easily add a second magister... or Jasrella can be an apprentice under Halseen

So, looking at skills and stats. Sir Christian would make a horrible spymaster but a better marshal.

Jevar would make a better Spymaster. He has pretty good stealth and Perception. If it ever came up to a point about their skills getting involved in the matter.

Though if we were talking optimal situation, then Jevar would make a better Marshal and "Catrina the Sly" would make the best Spymaster being both a Rogue and a Bard.

That is why I offered Jevar the spymaster position... ;)

Great! I was agonizing over whether I should pick that or something else... Which reminds me:

@Wolf: Can I take Master Performer despite not having worked for the kithordian academy? Or perhaps Balazar could have gone there to study for a while before returning to Johanna...

Yes, just add it to your background that you were at ____________ (choose your name) academy or choose the other option. ;)

posting is going to be so so the next few days. Will most likely lose power from the Hurricane. I will check in on my phone but no long post or number rolling :)

Thanks for letting us know Johanna... we will limp along while you are away.

I wasn't talking about taking the position away from Sable. Just wondering if he'll continue to be with the rest of the PCs on adventures\ex0loration.

I do 80%+ of my posts from phone regardless. Dice rolling is fine once you get used to it.

Ok, I can be at the meeting now.
So I'm thinking, as part of the agreement to include the dwarves into the kingdom, there'll be one of their number on the council, and the dwarves volunteered Helferick after hearing that being on the council would mean he'd be spending most of his time at the castle, i.e. a long way from the rest of them :)

Same here Balazar, I just prefer to post from a computer.

Sable will continue to explore and go on adventures.

I put in some keyboard shortcuts for dice and bold tags, which makes it easier. I do prefer computer for longer posts though.

Thanks Koldur of the Axe for working with my character concept. I know it's a hard sell but what good would 20Cha be if he could not sell himself. I will try not to belabour his introduction so we can get to adventuring, but I also want it to be realistic.

@gm what will the next adventuring party look like (give or take), so I Halseen can figure out how to mechanically work with these guys.

2 raging fighters, a raging ranger, a ranging paladin, a raging skald and a raging wizard and you :).

Enlarge person and haste will be awesome for every one of us. My song already provides enchantment bonus to strength so bull's strength won't be great. We are rather limited in our options for crowd control.

Crowd control was going to be my focus(enchantment, conjuration), buffing second, condition removal/utility thrid. Haste will be my one of first third level spells, though there is another option if we want to prioritize crafting.

His cat a solid trip score so can help CC on the martial front.

Yep... like before melee heavy and likely lots of rushing in.

Ernost is the mount keeper and basic scout for the group when adventuring, he won't get involved unless called upon.

Ok, so we have the roles picked. We will have to wait for Johanna to get back. For the rest of the kingdom building. I hope they were not hit to badly by Michael. It was a bad storm if that was the one.

Yeah that sounds right Halseen. Michael has hit a lot of us but luckily only minor electrical outages.

If you don't like the oath, then say so. Also you might offer one you suggest instead.

Did everyone have big plans this weekend too?

My son had a birthday party and my wife is sick and my daughter woke up half a dozen times..

Big plans with lots of trouble, I hope the party went well and I hope the others get well soon and good rest!

Hurication is over. We have power and we are now back to work. I will be playing catch up. I hope to read through and make a game play post. Thank you all for the patience. We were lucky and just had debris with no damage at home.

I will be moving us along tomorrow if I can get the time. I have a very large workload tomorrow.

Hey all,

I'm trying to catch up on the kingdom building. I have a few questions about the map.

- Do 'Xs' mean explored or explored and cleared?
- Have all x hexes been claimed? I think 18 is claimed and 9 as part of the build. Which have both been made settlements with farms. and we are going to claim 6 on turn 2.

- I'm inferring the new Kindom starts is in 18, which is the zombie fort you cleared out. Is this correct?

- Where is this gold mine we are trying to connect to? This seemed to be the one definitive goal in the Gameplay portion of the meeting is that correct? Looks like hex 6 claimed, settle mine build on turn 2.

I still have to give another read through the part of the plan that happened in the discussion. Kingmaker is a tough campaign to jump into homebrew elements what it even harder. I will catch up eventually.

Couldn't tell you about the map, GM will need to explain.

Yes the capital is in 18. The gold mine is in Hex 11. Hex 6 is the silver mine and Soothscale tribe of Kobolds.

If I can get everything sorted out I will make a new map updated with a legend for the kingdom. I think seeing it may make it easier for everyone to join in on the Kingdom building.

An updated map would be good. I suspect the one in the campaign tab is it just needs a legend so we know what the X's mean.

The first 6 months are done, but not done. Meaning We are in month 1 right now. GM was nice and gave us the Castle we did pay for it, so Basically we started Month 1 already having the settlement.

Here are the turns all together. I totally did the events wrong by having an event each month. I addressed this with the GM in another game. I had forgot about the % chance and further month events will be rolled correctly. The plan for month 7 is to claim "The Oleg's" The Dwarves Fort and add them to the kingdom as a new settlement.

I was going through that post. I'm going to try to get icons for the types builds.

The X's do mean explored and cleared for the most part there are a few places that the other side of the river needs to be explored still but in only two or three hexes at most.

Nothing has been officially claimed on that map, Johanna or others that are doing the claiming can put a yellow mark around each hex claimed or something like that.

Yes we are starting in 18, where the castle now resides and is the booming capital of our colony.
I was going to do the Kingdom making as a flavor effect more than anything and will continue with that idea inspired by those that do the actual kingdom making.

Sounds good you two, I leave those finer points to your capable hands.

I thought that was you Ashe! ;P

It looks like Balazar has dropped off and is now AWOL. :(

Is there any other characters that we are missing?

Note: If someone brought a mining proposal or whatever they are called... mining stake... costing 200 gp... (you could subtract the gold from your character sheet and add the mining stake to your equipment) We could then know where the mine is located. Presently no one saw the mine in 11 when they explored the Hex. So if no one has a mining stake then when riding through the hex I will do perception checks but it will be unlikely to see it as you ride by, DC 30.

Mining proposal... no
mining stake... no
mining deposit... IDTS
...

Halseen is happy to buy the mine stakes. It would work as a sign of good faith.

I'm not sure if I have any gold left....Else I'd buy a couple of those stakes.....

I'm sorry, I've been extremly busy lately. I'll try to catch up shortly.

I have a spare 200gp, I will buy it as I entered as if hearing about a mine being there. Added to my sheet :)

Balazar post if your Cha changes. The +2 changes one of the Econ rolls giving us +1 BP, if your chat goes up it will change 2 more of rolls increasing out treasury 2 more at the end of turn 6.

Halseen purchased the mine stakes and gave it to Sable to then give to the group. I was playing this as he was using his extra time to build trust with the group.

Sounds good we can go with that.

The next one is all yours.

Yup. Still waiting on character actions. Those spiders are not moving unless you give them something to sink their teeth into.

Spiders and a undergrowth, this is near perfect opportunity for Halseen to start proving his worth. Unless he gets eaten and dies.

Sorry folks, IRL baby time and everything else keeps taking point... You know I will come back and likely post each day.

So, I just saw that we might be holding off on herding the boars...but I mean, it's a good post....also, you can always bring em along for the ride, they can do some serious damage when stirred up.

If you can herd them, go for it! If they get unruly I can drop them in a pit.

I think I succeeded the proper skill check to do it? Handle Animal isn't 100% replaceable with Wild Empathy but idk...I mean it's also not technically an infant. (Rearing an animal is supposed to take place only with infants....and you can do it with up to 3 at one time...so there are a lot of ifs and by GM's discretion.)

I'm debating taking a level in another class just to pick up base Wild empathy but man...that's just a waste I feel. Though, I suppose if I had to do it, grabbing a level of Ranger (Freebooter) would not be a huge waste. It might put me a round behind you guys but that's not horrible.

No worries things get missed. Also I can clip maps out of the pfs if you want to uses them. It will save you some time. I do it for a few of my other games.

Sure if you have the time.

Yeah Jevar I looked over the skill and you would really need wild empathy or some similar spell to get the effect you wanted. Though as long as the handle animal check is 20 over its HD and is an animal I am fine with it. I wouldn't worry about picking it up unless you want to.

We have a druid, no?
Speak with it..:)

Sadly I don't believe we have a single druid or speaker of animals. Also sadly, Jevar has no charisma so he would make horrid for attempting to diplo animals...hmm, now I have another issue.

May just have to give up on that idea and hope for the best with the HA checks.

I am not adding the big one until everyone had a chance to move their character. It will come in on round 1.

Also Halseen if you make a post in gameplay that is strictly ooc then you should post it here.

Ok. There have been several others so I assumed it was ok. My bad.

massive boar easily four times the size of a normal boar is charging from another direction

Which direction?

Oh I know Halseen, I just know you have done it a couple of times most recently. Everyone please make ooc comments here. Then if an ooc applies to in game, you may post it in gameplay but also post some action in game as well. Thank you!

I will get permissions on the map. When I get to my laptop.

Johanna you may make the feat changes.

No worries. Every game I'm in does it differently. I'm happy to adjust I just have to know the rules. If there is no rule stated I just try to follow what has been done in the previous post, the trouble of jumping in midway through I guess.
