Yeah, I'm broke now. :-)

I just kept my +2 chain shirt and +1 buckler. With the natural armor amulet, I'm pretty good. 21AC. Not bad for a back line guy (assuming I don't run into the middle of a bunch of greatsword-wielding super skeletons again).

I added all those scrolls to the Inventory Log, Agnar.

Agnar, if you need money, Kereek has funds (9500 gp) to spare. Sorcerers are less dependent on items than other classes. Kereek would be happy to share. You're all part of his hoard.

Thanks guys, I'm good. I love my scribe scroll feat and I'm happy to put my resources there.

All that was left were the wands. I was thinking a wand of CMW, which is 4,500. But Prazil mentioned that CLW is cheaper per hit point at the same cost, giving 6 wands.

Mott: are 6 wands of CLW available in the world?

Sure, you have plenty of time to gather them.

4,500 spent from Party Stores and 6 wands of cure light wounds added; Do you care to do the honors for tracking the charges, Agnar?

Yes, please.

For Mott, what would it take for Katerina to be able to adopt the name Aldori?

That's a good question. I'll look into it and get back to you (hopefully Sunday).

I'm thinking I'll start moving the plot along Monday, though if there's still fun stuff going on, there's no rush.

So, I can't seem to find any canon on the Swordslords. James Jacobs wrote about a year ago, "1) You have to be officially granted the title. If not, you're akin to a ronin; you have the same skills but aren't able to officially call yourself a swordlord (or samurai)," but never really says what's involved with taking the title.

I think it'd make sense to say there's some sort of test -- however, words of Kat's exploits might well fulfill the requirements. Alternatively, she could have a trial by arms (the swordlords were formed by a duelist, after all), if you'd like. I don't know how much you as a player want to devote to it.

I'm good with moving on to plot stuff if you want. I don't have anything really specific that I want to do.

Hopefully Marcelline's feeling like a part of the fam when get the plot ball rolling again! =)

Sorry, guys. Planned to update tonight and then spent almost all of work in meetings and taking care of things that came up in meetings (mitigated only slightly by the fact that I instigated at least one, and maybe more, of the meetings.

Real post manana.

I'd be willing to play out Kat earning her title by trial or whatever you think is good.

But, I do not want to digress too much from the party's play. I don't want to be the guy that plays the Netrunner in the Cyberpunk party that demands all the table time for his one-man odyssey...

Sorry for those of you seeing this for the umpteenth time (some of us are in a lot of games together), but since I was out of town when this came out, I don't think I ever announced my first contracted work for Paizo. Pretty excited about it. :)

That's awesome, Mott! Congrats!

I ... might buy that. It's relevant for several of my games.

Wait. What?
Dude!
DUDE that's awesome!

Thanks, all. I was pretty excited and my witch hexes seem to be popular. Now I just need to figure out how to get another project. :)

Ha. I used to hate the netrunnes/riggers in Shadowrun, as it was like they were playing their own game. Never quite understood that.

That said, I think we can work it into conjunction with the rest of the game, and I don't want to just handwave it. Let's say Petyr told you you need to challenge and defeat in non-lethal combat an Aldori swordlord whom you don't already know (as that would prevent say Petyr himself from throwing a fight) to earn the title.

New Prazil looks scary!

He's been juicin'! He does Tough Mudder competitions now as well as American Ninja Warrior. The latter wasn't great. Height was a big disadvantage. =(

Just a heads up: I will be travelling for the next week. I will have internet access, but my posting will be slooooowing down a bit. Rest assured, I will be back! Mott, if you need to bot any of my characters in your games, please do so with my blessing!

10-4. Have good travels.

Waiting on you guys. You've got a plot hook you can either pick up or ignore...

Head's up: I'll be heading back down to St. Martin one last time to drag Dr. The Old Ball and Chain home, and won't be updating April 21-28. I'll hopefully get right back into it when I get home, though since the wife will be back it may take us a couple days to unpack and get back into a routine.

Hey guys, I've got my annual CabinCon trip this weekend (Thursday - Monday), so I'll be off yon grid after tomorrow night. If Prazil is slowing things down, he'll just keep on motoring after bullywugs and frogs.

copy/pasteable macro for his greatsword attacks are at the bottom of his profile page.

I'm heading to PaizoCon this coming weekend, leaving Thursday afternoon and not getting back until Tuesday night. I don't expect to be posting in that time.

If any of you will be there, please look for me and say hi!

Guys, if no one posts, that game ends. I'm a bit frustrated to come back to no responses in nearly a week after my last post.

Sorry for the slow posting. Been super busy. But I should be back now.

irt Prazil's new toy... is there something fuzzing our memories of where we got it? That is, Agmar's tomb?

Nah, just didn't want to make it too immediately obvious what was going on. One of the downsides of doing PBP that it was months ago in real time, so sometimes things get lost (in games I play in, I have a "story notes" section in my profiles where I like to exposition heavy parts).

<.<
>.>

Not sure what all y'all are goin' on about. Nuffin' to see here!

How often does one acquire an intelligent artifact sword whose curse caused an entire adventure that we had to go on?

Hey guys,

I've an opening in one of my games rn, a Jade Regent game for which I've had a bit of trouble keeping players down.

They're about to hit level 6, reaching the very last leg of Chapter 2. Any takers? I'll give more details if you guys are interested in joining a new game.

Shoot me a PM. I'll take a look and see if I can come up with a concept.

I have a scroll of remove curse, but I'm unclear on the mechanics of how it works with an item. Do you cast, and then the creature knows to release the weapon? Or do you need to remove the item and then cast the spell? Does it even matter?

I would say remove curse would let Prazil willingly give up the sword -- if he wants to; I mean, it is a really good weapon... Oh! You want it for yourself. I see. Clever cleric. ;)

Hey all,

Just wanted to kind of mention that I hope we can all be patient with the current Paizo site outages (which I also hope will end ASAP). I know it's disrupting my posting flow/times and I assume it's doing the same for you all.

In addition, I'm having some workplace drama: My immediate supervisor retired effective immediately last night (i.e. he was more or less forced out) and I suspect I'm going to be picking up much -- if not all -- of his work. I have no intention of stopping any games and still hope to update 5-10 times a week (as the site allows right now) as I'm a STRONG believer that regular momentum is critical in PBP. However, just in case there is some disruption, please be patient. I promise I won't abandon you!

I was having some connection issues, too. Glad to know it isn't just me. It slowed me down this week, and it looks like I missed Mott by about 10-15 minutes with the remove curse. Alas. A wasted 20! :-)

I'll let you save it for later!

Nearby...

Back in the previous room, with its blade buried halfway to the hilt in a mound of churned mud, discarded Ovinrbaane waits for the kobold to heed its call.

And, oddly, words appear in the muck:

“Whoso pulleth out this sword from this swamp, is right wise King born of all Hartsland.”

(Will update ASAP; work continues to be trying.)

I was writing up a couple locations in one of my other PBPs and realized I handle Perception checks in a couple way, so want to make sure it's understood how I'm doing it in all my campaigns (I know its late to make sure this is clear, but better than never, I guess):

Perception checks that I consider more passive, I'll do under spoilers, i.e. if someone walks into a room and has a chance to notice something broken (or a hidden body/critter), I'll do that under a spoiler and you can see if you succeed.

I don't tend to do that if a module says "if a PC searches the rubble/body/whatever, he notices XX on a Perception check..." I only give you those checks (sometimes under spoilers, sometimes I'll roll myself, sometimes I'll ask you to do it) if you guys specifically tell me you're searching that area. I just want to make sure you all know that so if I don't give you a spoilered section you don't think there's nothing there to be found.

Let me know if that doesn't make sense/you have any questions.

Hey guys, just FYI, work is hitting me hard right now. I've also got my folks coming to visit over the weekend -- Long story short, my posting may be spotty through the weekend (though I'm hoping I can sneak in some time tomorrow and/or Friday).

Kaiju battle between the Froghemoth and Spike! I can't wait!

I'm traveling the next couple of days for work meetings. I'll try to catch up this weekend.

Thanks for letting us know; hope it's easy travels.

I have company coming in today, and then I'm leaving Friday for the World Boardgaming Championships for 9 glorious days. I'll try to post, but I might be intermittent, especially on travel days.
I'm back the last day of July.

My posting time is going to be somewhat limited I suspect over the next few days. Not sure how much time I'll have to update (especially Sunday-Monday).
