I have been thinking about what we need for a divine caster and have these thoughts to offer.
Brandark, Garrath - Survival. Combat: Up front melee
Elektra - Knowledge, Arcane support. Combat: Spells
Kelvin - Scout and traps. Combat: Mostly bow support, but can move into melee if needed.
New Person - Divine support, healing. Combat: ?
I guess the question is what kind of Combat support are we looking for in the new person? Spells (buff/debuff), Melee, Ranged.
I see the combat options breaking down as:
Ranna - Spells, ranged
Adamas - Melee
Calene - Sort of like Kelvin, either ranged or melee as needed.
I am good with any of the three choices.
As hard as it may be with three good candidates, go ahead and pick your choice here in this thread. I will act as the tie breaker should it be needed.
We did not get any other candidates today. These three have been good sports in the process. I applaud each of them for the way they play the game. It is almost sad that we have to pick just one.
All three are good candidates, so I propose this. Rank them, 1-3, with 1 being the top score. The person with the lowest total at the finish is the person chosen. It will make a tie less likely. Here are my choices, and it was really close 1-2 could have gone either way.
1)Ranna
2)Calene
3)Adamas
Just take the GM out of the decision making!
Just kidding. Good idea.
1. Calene
2. Ranna
3. Adamas
Same here. The channel, while late access was the tie breaker for me.
1. Calene
2. Adamas
3. Ranna
It also was fairly close, The long run, channelling though late was the choice.
Close for me also and it looks like I am the odd duck in the group (normal for me!).
1. Adamas
2. Ranna
3. Calene
The big reason to me is that 1,2 can cast cure light wounds and the other cure spells at level spontaneously while 3 has to specifically memorize clw, etc because of the loss of spontaneous casting due to the archetype.
As we all said, RP is very good from all, so that was not a factor.
-- Kelvin aka david
Adamas 10
Calene 7
Ranna 8
If my math is right, then it looks like Calene.
Please confirm.
Well, Adamas is 9, but she is still last on the list and the other numbers are correct, so Calene it is.
-- Kelvin
it looks doubtful that anyone else will show by tomorrow, so that's what it looks like.
@Calene - Welcome to the party.
The Birthmark Trait is in the APG. And though the trait doesn't specifically mention that it replaces your Holy Symbol, it is somewhat implied, so I will permit it. However, I can't imagine a Cleric of Cayden Cailean without a tankard. :)
I am not familiar with the Merchant Family trait. What tome is this in? I permit Traits from the APG and Rise of the Runelord Player's Guide. However, I will permit this Trait with one exception, the party is already getting significant discounts from many merchants in Sandpoint. Your Trait will not increase the discounts already being received. There are merchants and conditions where the party does not receive the discounts, so this Trait will be significant in those cases. Should the party move past this AP, Magnimar and other locales will come into play.
I am taking this to the Discussion thread. The Sandpoint Jeweler is not interested in Erylium's dagger. Selling the dagger is a big event. It is worth a lot. Completion of the area you are in should be the priority. Once this is complete we can RP the selling of the dagger, plus at that point a lot more.
Brandark will find out the day before that the dagger is not something he trades in.
The Merchant Family is in the Rise of the Runelord's Player's Guide (Anniversary Edition). It's a slightly different version of the Favored Son/Daughter trait from the original player's guide. The main difference is the flavor, and a +1 on Knowledge (local) vs. increase in town wealth.
@Brandark: Just out of curiosity, what is your Order? I'm trying to at least lightly acquaint myself with everyone else's characters.
order of the dragon.
The reason I suggested a lantern, is that with 6 hours of light vice 20 minutes per cast. (level 2 :) )
Saves things going dark at the most inopportune time.
can always pop light for any fights.

That's the difference. I have it from the original AP. Then you are good.
Thanks.
Gawd I hope that big one on the map isn't actually there, otherwise I am doing the "Brave Brave Sir Robin" trick.
Robin you're so brave....
It was there only so that you could see what you are fighting.
Ha, someone who got the reference. :)
It's another fugly. . a different one this time, but a fugly. :)
I was once a Knight that Said Nee. ;)
Bring me a shrubbery!
Bring up the holy hand grenade of antioch.
Heh, at least five people here have seen that movie.
"Three, m'lud."
Ah yes, three.
And thou shall count to four. Not to three and in no case to five.
Come on.... it´s a classic. Maybe wrong translated... but still great.
Alas, not five. I could never sit still long enough to watch the whole thing, so I have seen bits'n'pieces of it, but not the whole thing.
Kelvin
Well, 4 of 5 isn't bad. :)
By the way, the Ruby is the GM's thanks for making past 1000 post. Good job everyone for staying with it. Also, I needed to make the module a little richer anyway. It was designed for a four person party. You have five plus Shalelu. I have also increased the encounters some, so that XPs will stay fairly consistent with the module's advancement.
I am enjoying it, and will say that you are doing a good job. :)
Even if the RNG is out to get me.
Hey Kelvin, I think I know why your arrow missed, I pushed the goblin out of the way. :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all us Yanks, though I am from the South. ;)
Happy thanksgiving from a Canuck. :)
Ahm... well I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. Here we have only walpurgisnacht, where you dress like witches to scare evil spirits away.
Sounds like a germannic custom.
Yup!
Now to dig out from our little snowstorm we had. Wasn't like buffalo, but bad enough. :)
Temps went down to 0f (-20C), and winds stopped from 15mph (25km/hr)
Still snowing though. :(
Ah, we did that Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning.
GM, wrong thread. :)
What wrong thread? ;)
Once I realized, I deleted it.
I live relativly close to the alps and the weather is rather warm :-(
Man I just wished for white x-mas. Wanted to show my baby daughter the snow.
If you live by the alps, you should have a white one.
I spent 4 years in Baden Sollengen back in the late 80's early 90's. :)
We had a couple of white xmas's there, but it wasn't a lot of snow.
My posting might be a touch slow this weekend, as I'm staying at my family's house for Thanksgiving. I'll still check in at least once a day, but figured I oughta mention it in case combat breaks out again.
Thanks Calene for letting us know. Actually, the party should not see another fight for a little while.
Hope the Yanks in the party had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
This does bring up a question for Calene. Kelvin and I are EST. I believe Garrath is CST. What time zone are you in?
MEZ or MET Middle european time. Right now its 20.23
GMT -1 :)
GMT -6
I had that backwards didn't I?
Helikon is GMT +1, Kelvin and I are GMT-5. ;)
I was going to say, GMT-1 is the middle of the atlantic, or possibly Iceland.
and much rejoicing to be had. :)
edit
I just updated the loot sheet with everything found, but no costs or values entered yet.
further edit, will start teaching Abacuzar the exclusive trick.
Central time as well, but my schedule can be a bit wonky between school and work. I work mornings on the weekends and Thursdays, but most other days I check fairly often.
Grats on the level, everyone!
