I take it you mean the player? Haven't heard from him since his last post in this discussion thread.
I'm leaving the country shortly. That being said, I'll be gone for the next couple of days. Is it possible to step awa from the game until I return later this month? I'd like to focus on my friends and family when I get home.
So he said he'd be back later this month. That was four weeks ago, so I dunno.
As a heads up, I'm going to be out of town for just over a week visiting family and will have limited internet access. No solving the case without me while I'm out! :P I'll need to punch something first.
I'm back. Due to a death in the family, my leave was extended because of the circumstances. Now, anyone want to spin me up on what I missed?
Oh wow Issceran, sorry to hear that :(
AS to what you missed... uh Issceran, Simza and Koraq talked to Rav Kinman again (twice) and did some research on the enjoiner and the original adventurers who split it up. Rasil and Barin meanwhile went to the auction house and made inquiries there, tracked one of the fragments sold back to the family of one of the original adventurer's while the other was purchased by a tatooed shoanti man. The guy's butler was an ass and then they wandered around trying to talk to be for some info. The other three were just heading back to HQ.
Good to have you back, and hope you're doing alright :)
My condolences as well. :(
Barin and Rasil are still trying to track down the Shoanti.
Where was Issceran during all of this, GM-sama?
He was with Simza and Koraq helping them research (we spent several hours in the library, researching, or at least Issceran and Simza were)
My condolences Issceran.
Your character was with Simza and Koraq and they discovered quite a bit of background on the enjoiners. Just check the last 3-4 pages of the thread and you'll see tha backstory (great work by the GM btw). Basically the enjoiners were a single artifact a shoanti shaman with a penchant for summoning used to raise powerful zombies and use them against the invading Cheliaxians. A group of cheliaxians heroes faced him and defeated him splitting the artifact into pieces (the enjoiners) and dividing them among themselves. Currently some of these splint pieces are in the hands of some very powerful citizen of Magnimar, while some others were lost when their owner's families fell on hard times. Btw, the man we are hunting seems to be a Shoanti summoner too...
For ease of reintegration, should I just post or will the GM reintroduce me? Sorry, its just a little dizzy returning. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I think that you've "been there the whole time", you were just quiet.
So you should just post!
That's my 2cp worth. :P
Yeah you've been there the whole time, helping out you just haven't been saying anything :p I'd say you should be able to just post :)
Bam!
Hopefully Issceran's in character response isn't meta-gaming. I'm just starting to think that.
Nah, it's plausible to think that for Issceran too: he's an arcanist, he knows about the enjoiner and wants to recover it. There are similarities although no proves st the moment.
What's strange is that the other shoanti consider him a "sell out"; seems to me he would get some respect if he was out for revenge against the Cheliaxians opressors of his people. Instead the other Shoanti dub him as a traitor to his people. This leaves us with two options: he's working with someone we don't know yet the other Shoanti hate, OR the Shaman lied to Barin and Rasil to protect Mikobar (but wouldn't them have noticed?)
It's so hard to not join in on these conversations! :D
There is an important clue that you have listed on the website, but haven't investigated yet. It's been while in real time, so I'm wondering if you might have forgotten about it.
The city planner's office blueprint corner? I think we had sort of forgotten about that...
@ Koraq - Dang, I should've played a sorcerer. Then we could've been Master Blaster! :P
Heh, just wait until/if I get higher levels in Monk for the movement speed increases. Then add some Muleback Cords and an exotic mount harness... although I imagine most DM's would require some fun concentration checks to cast while riding a battling half-orc :P
Looks like I'll be needing Combat Casting! :P
Fun idea for one day: MSI crossovers between the three games Nazard runs, at least in fluff.
heh, not sure how well that work unless there was some crazy artifact that made the 'alternate realities' collide or something. Would be interesting though...
Aww Isscey, you just want me to finally punch someone in the face, dontcha?
Isn't that what I have the dwarf for?
He'd have to get a stool, first.
Simza should be ashamed using sex appeal on teenagers! :P
She's only 17 herself :p
Oh, yes, no one else is an 'old man' like our wiry wizard.
Sex appeal? She wears armor AND a veil. :P
Oh well, I guess it's like the old time movies, where you actually had to USE your imagination! :P
Armor and veils are just a minor inconvenience.
Edit: I want to arrest someone. And by 'I want to arrest someone' I want the dwarf to do the physical work. I'll help out if need be.
Have fun with that :P Although it seems that other than the potential for one of 'em to try and run, shouldn't be too much going on... maybe?
And if anyone should be using sex appeal, it should be me, because yeah, I work out.

For your lulz: Dramatic reading of the referenced tune
Now done with the off topic stuff :P
I'm a wizard, I can prevent him from running if need be.
Btw, the dramatic reading was very intense.
Seems like the dwarf is a slacker after all!
;D
P.S.
I think Barin to be pretty soft hearted under the gruffness, enche his proposal. He wants them to pay but doesn't want them doactually lose their jobs or worse...

I'm really beginning to enjoy narrowing things down.

Well, that is kind of the point of the genre after all! :D
Glad you're enjoying the game.
Since I got back, I was a little lost. Everything is coming together now, however.
Yeah, finally getting somewhere rather than just trailing along behind him :) as to Simza using her Feminine Wiles, well, she doesn't often feel confident enough to do so, Jimmy seemed an easy target though :p
What is her curse btw?
Wasting, hence the scars and deformities she hides.
I figured that was the case. She just rolls like a boss on charisma skill checks. And by 'she' I mean the guy player.
She rolled a 16 on her Diplomacy with Jimmy, yeah :p that and she has a 18 Charisma, plus skill rank + class skill so 4+1+3-4=+4 Diplomacy
I like the fact that I will have a +10 in all of my Knowledges by 2nd or 3rd level.
Do we want to attempt to apprehend the shoanti when it comes to collapse the building? I'll need time to prepare different spells if that is the case.
I don't think that's an option. You need 8 hours of rest to prepare new spells.
The only way you can do that in the middle of the day (or in the evening, as the case may be), is if you left some of your spell slots empty for the express purpose of being able to fill them later.
Sorry! :(
EDIT: Although, don't forget that you can cast any one spell in your spellbook once per day using your Arcane Bond!
<snip>
Edited
Nevermind.
Sorry again, that's the one drawback to prepared casters.
BTW: It wouldn't work for this character, but there's a new archetype for elven wizards in the Advanced Race Guide called the Spellbinder.
In place of Arcane Bond, you get to "bind" certain spells (up to 9 total by 17th level), that for a full round action can be swapped into a spell slot containing a different prepared spell. Then on the next round you can cast that spell.
Pretty nifty!
I have the book so I'll look at it tonight.
I have Expeditious Retreat, Grease and Detect Magic prepared currently. My proposal: when the shoanti comes to wreck the building, Issceran will draw his attention and wave the fragment and use Detect Magic to draw attention to the validity of the statement. Using Expeditious Retreat, Issceran will get the shoanti to chase him and lead him to an ambush site with a higher movement rate so he won't be outright. This will allow Barin and Koraq to jump him with Issceran, Rasil and Simza offering combat support. Unfortunately, Comprehend Langauges and Mending will likley have no use but Message may be useful. I can use one spell not on my prepared spells list for additional support.
Uh, oh! We're confusing the shopkeeper!
(Now, just how do we resolve this?)
