Lucendar's Tomb of Iron Medusa campaign

Game Master Lucendar

How we doing here? Between the forum outs and vacation I'm guessing we're stalled pretty good?

Seems like it. But maybe things will clear up?

I'm still around to play. The forum outages have really pushed down my "visit the board" instances.

I'm waiting on the GM to announce that he'd returned.

Still here as well, ready to restart.

Hello all, I will update tonight as long as the website is not down.

Are we supposed to be able to move ourselves on the map? I notice that I'm still standing in the middle of the hallway. ??

True to his character, Hassan has vanished. Last post over 2 weeks ago. Thoughts? Should I recruit?

He filled a slightly awkward gap in the party - we really need a full arcane caster, so I'm fine with recruiting.

I agree. An arcane caster would be nice!

Will do!

Hello all, I'm very excited to be on board!

Renliat is an evoker and believes strongly in the school of boom. However as a wizard he will have a great deal of utility as well.

The character is mostly done, but some of the more complicated high level things such as gear and spells prepared I have yet to finalize. Any feedback/advice is much appreciated.

Also as a high level wizard I need to address my "paper bone syndrome" so I don't get vaporized by the first enemy smart enough to focus me. I have a number of precautions in place such as emergency force sphere, an arrow deflecting shield, a familiar who will be holding a force punch spell, a flawed pale organe rhomboid ioun stone, and I shelled out the money for a +5 cloak of resistance. I have a few other options as well such as dimension door and getaway. However I don't know if I'm missing something obvious, and I'm not sure what to do with my contingency yet.

Looking forward to gaming with you all!

Welcome aboard, I am the muscle! :)

Which makes me the brains, and the beauty! :D Or more simply, the skills :)

Cool! But uhh, between intellectuals I have a concern.

Active conditions: -1 Charisma, On fire (11 damage)

Well, as long as we slow down our approach and take time to prepare we should survive. If not, I can raise dead and cure almost anything....

But what is your concern?

I suppose things shouldn't be too permanent with a high level cleric around, good point Terrance.

Perhaps I'll just use my contingency to get a free greater invisibility off.

It's because I'm hot! *Ba dum, tisch!*

(Also based on Wesley in the Princess Bride, so no way a small thing like being on fire is going to stop her!)

So are we waiting on something in particular? Is the GM busy right now?

No, I was waiting on you actually to finish the character. Is it ready?

Oh apologies! I wasn't sure if anybody else wanted to make any suggestions. I had a local version of him prepped and ready to go but I never got around to updating my Paizo alias.

Renliat is updated and ready to go. He casts mage armor and false life on himself every morning, and he keeps his familiar charged with a force punch spell. He has a contingency prepared, when he blinks twice he casts greater invisibility on himself. The only other weird thing is that he has a permanent arcane sight.

All ready here!

Today's False Life: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Sooo, is there anything else we are waiting on to start? I'm very excited at a chance to experience this adventure.

I will update thread tomorrow.

Do we have any plans for how to get Renliat into the story? Is he just going to be available when the party leaves to rest or what?

I suggest we just pretend you were here the whole time - explaining you away is going to be tricky so I say we just handwave past it. :)

Up to the GM of course though!

Check your mail...sent you pm last night!

*facepalm* Apologies for the delay in responding, I'm still not used to the new PM notifications ever since Paizo updated.

Edit: Speaking of which, weird. Your private message deleted itself after I responded to it.

*This message will self-destruct in 3... 2... 1...*

Better than 'The reader of this message will self-destruct in....'

GM, do I know anything about the nature of the disease that killed my last party? I need to know before answering Terrance.

Unfortunately, with no ranks in Heal, you have no idea other than your companions just wasted away and died in 2 days. However, what you did with their bodies is up to you, so you can show them the bodies. I doubt you would have buried them by yourself with no shovel - your call.

Bump: Is everybody doing ok? Haven't heard anything in a week.

Don't know. I'm still wondering if we are trapped here or not? We hadn't tried to exit before and I do remember that it appears that we are on some sort of changed reality....

My god I forgot how much easier it was for clerics to plane shift as opposed to wizards. Now I don't feel bad about not shelling out the gold to pick up plane shift.

True. As the spells get higher level the cost does get to be annoying....
Core pg 219
I recently created a 7th level wizard for a game and the couple thousand gold for the 'extra' spells that I added to my book was a serious hit to the WBL that was allowed....

If it makes you feel any better I spent over 4k on copied spells. And I consider that to be pretty conservative spending.

Honestly I didn't nickel and dime my gear too hard, despite it being such a high-level game. I figured with the tight restrictions on allowed material we wouldn't be getting hit with anything too disgusting so I kind of just bought staple gear.

This is a PSA to all of my active games: I will be unavailable starting this Friday afternoon (the 16th) until next Thursday morning (the 22nd). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please GMPC me as needed.

I assume this is dead? It's certainly gaining a corpse-like pallor...

Perhaps on an extended holiday hiatus?

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on. If the pace is just exceptionally slow or what. I've tried to push and bump as much as I could without seeming overly pushy, but there's just not a lot going on.

So what's our plan here? I don't mind a slow paced game but it would be nice to know posting expectations at the very least. No word from the GM for months is very frustrating.

Im just assuming its dead. If the GM returns - good. If not... we could get a mod to shut the thread.

You can go into the Online Campaigns page and click to hide this thread, that way it won't show up in your campaigns tab anymore.

I'll leave mine up for a while so I can see any responses from the others.

I had just figured that the game was dropped....

Alright. It was a fun intro and I enjoyed meeting all your characters!

I'll no longer be getting notifications for this game, please PM me if you need to get in touch :)
