Motteditor's Kingmaker campaign (Inactive)

Game Master motteditor

Looks like we'll have a decent pile of coin to divvy. Agnar is interested in claiming one of the composite longbows with the strength bonus. Other than than, nothing catches his fancy.

Perhaps we should hold onto the stag-head amulet. If it's a symbol of authority/membership for the Staglord's troops it might come in useful later.

We still have the following items on the list that need further clarification/identification.

Agnar's bandits:
"very nice" Longbow, composite (+2 Strength)(Magic? MW?)

Dead Trapper:
"Beautiful" steel hatchet (magic? masterwork?)

Mite chieftain:
"very nice" Longspear, small (magic? masterwork?)
"very nice" Chain shirt, small (magic? masterwork?)
"very nice" Buckler, small (magic? masterwork?)
Potion of ???

Tartuk:
Magic bolts x7
Haunting Glass

I think that Agnar should get the bow listed as "very nice" (I'm assuming it's at least masterwork), Rupert should get the silver amulet given his Brigand trait he should take point on any negotiations with other bandits and it might help "seal the deal" as it were. Orin would like the animal bane arrows. Since Treshiell is the only one who has Magic Missile on her spell sheet, she should get the wand. I think the magic bolts should go to Edrukk as a lovely parting gift since he was the only one of us to use a crossbow.

Speaking of Edrukk how should we split the monies? Do we do it by the original five of us who set out, or by the four of us who returned to the fort? Personally I'm in favor of the five way split since Edrukk helped us earn all of it before he retired. Anyone have any other opinions or items they want to claim before I start totaling it up?

I should have some time later tonight to give you a rundown on the items, assuming you can get Treshiell to detect magic. : )

I already claimed the wand for Treshiell :) And she's actually carrying around one of the Silver Stag amulets around her wrist. Although i think her's came from the first encounter with the bandits.

Treshiell will detect magic on whatever you put in front of her. She'll take 10 (spellcraft 19) to id something if it radiates magic.

She's also claimed the Haunting Glass. I think only Erdrukk knows she has it.

The items are all masterwork, except the potion, which is cure light.

I think saying that you gave one-fifth of the money and the bolts to Edrukk makes sense.

Here's the Map, so you can see what you still have to explore (or you can try to find the Staglord's fort if you want).

Agnar: Longbow, composite (+2 Strength), masterwork
Edrukk: Bolts, magic x7
Orin: +1 arrows (animal bane) x6
Rupert: Potion of Cure light wounds, silver stag amulet
Treshiell: Wand of Magic Missile, Haunting glass

Agnar, Orin, and Rupert each receive a quiver of 20 arrows

Assuming nobody wants anything from the list other than whats listed above everyone will receive

38cp
15sp
394gp

from the sale of whats left. That is if Stevic can handle that much, otherwise we can see if Kesten or the other mercenaries want to purchase anything.

If Stevic can't handle it, we can always wait for the next merchant or supply caravan to come in. We can sell it to them, or ask Stevic to do it for us if he's willing if we're not here at the time.

Stevic can handle about half of that if you want it in coin. If you want trade, he can arrange for it to be delivered if he doesn't have it himself.

Also, Orin, did you ever finish paying him back? I don't recall.

I was going to pay him back with this money. I already subtracted the 200 gp's from my total plus an extra 10% for interest.

OK, that's fine. Just couldn't remember if it had been resolved.

Rupert, I believe the plan is to explore the eastern side of the map down to at least the river.

FYI, I may not be able to post much this weekend, though I'll try to check in Saturday at least.

Per Orin's request, I've added a section with the Quests to the Campaign info tab. As far as I can tell/remember, you only have two possible quests outstanding (other than finishing exploring the Stolen Lands, of course): Recovering Taerine's ring and getting fangberries for Bokken.

Also, next time you all venture out, we'll need an updated watch order.

Missed one quest: Falgrimm Sneeg. Hari suggested a reward for bringing him in

As far as a new watch order I think Orin and Rupert could probably split the second watch between them. Something like this:
1st watch: Orin & Treshiell
2nd watch:
2a: Orin
2b: Rupert
3rd watch: Rupert & Agnar
That way the spellcasters will get their 8 hours of sleep and Orin and Rupert will get at least 6 hours of sleep each.

here is a link to the loot list. Anything that is crossed out has either been sold or given to a PC. If it has benn given to someone that character's name is listed in red.

If Treshiell wishes to keep the Bracers then everyone will need to subtract 125 gp's from the total given here

Oh, didn't realize we sold it. I'll remove it from Treshiell's inventory.

Had a little flutter of memory about loot, so I went digging back through the thread and found an item we forgot about. Back at the temple of Erastil we found a wooden holy symbol that radiated magic, but we weren't able to identify it at the time. We should probably give it another go.

2,000 posts. Yay, us!!!

2001: A Kingmaker Odyssey.

Nice job, everyone. Hopefully we'll finish up part I soon. I'm excited to go on to part II. However, on that note, I'll probably be offline for the rest of the night...

A question before i post further. Would i be completely off if i thought that the reason for Treshiell's deja vu is that it was nettle's crossing she saw in the haunting glass?

Not at all.

Saw a post Motteditor did in his Savage Tide game and then snuck a peak at your spoiler.

Rupert noooooooo! Why would you want to travel to europe? It's a dreadful place :p

Sorry to see you go, Rupert but I completely understand. An opportunity like this doesn't come along all that often so take it when it does. I remember travelling Europe and Australia when I was younger (the benefits of working for an airline at the age of 19) and it was a wonderful experience I still talk about almost 27 years later (yes, I'm old) so enjoy yourself.

Just FYI all, I'm going to hold off on updating until I pick some replacements, as it's likely the kobolds *will* in fact have found something. Please feel free to let me know what, if any, of the submissions catch your eye. Looks like we've already got some good ones, IMO.

Game online, or travel Europe? Hmm...tough choice. ;-)

Helaman is a player in my Carrion Crown game and is a good player and frequent poster so I can endorse him wholeheartedly. The others I'm not too sure about, an aasimar barbarian? It'll be interesting to see how he pulls it off. I think we could use someone with a "unique skill set" to replace Rupert, though.

Okay, Orin's been re-tuned and his profile has been updated.

Agnar's revamped.

Some thoughts on the recruitment process:

• If we get a kobold in this party, I swear Agnar will take on a mission to convert the Sootscales to the worship of Erastil.
• littlehewy just joined one of my pbp games. So far he's an enthusiastic player and enjoys RP
• I'm not opposed to another cleric in the party, or a druid.
• Like Vanulf said, someone with certain skills would definitely be an asset, though I haven't noticed any of the applicants going in that direction.
• An aspiring hellknight and/or cleric of Abadar? That will lead to some interesting theological discussions, to be sure.

Thanks for the retuning, guys (Treshiell already was coincidentally at 25 points, so didn't need updating, but I appreciate your understanding on that).

I think it's likely at least one of the kobolds will make it, since I think that's a fun dynamic (plus, really easy to add to the party ASAP). Just need to decide which.

Why the revamps? Have i missed something?

Edit: Oh, 25pt buy. Yep, Treshiell's already good to go :)

My thoughts on the applicants:

Jon Surtova
I'm really impressed over the amount of work that's gone into this character. Nice background, thought out motivation and personality. I like Dorgon from the Savage Tide game and illuminar has proven to be a reliable poster. And since i'm a coward and play a caster being a paladin is definitly a plus. I'm a fan.

Singiz
I'm not a huge fan of the Tian Xia side of things but nevertheless i quite like this "nomad arrow scimitar rider" approach. The background seems abit flawed (it takes a fair bit of roaming to get from the crown of the world to the Stolen Lands, unless my Golarion geography deceives me) and the loner approach could be a concern. Although on the otherside i'm a big fan of Sekathral and he's been a reliable poster in the Savage Tide game. You know that you would be getting quality. A soild pick.

Kereek Kereek
The kobold that stood out most to me, perhaps because i feel he's similar to how the kobolds have been portrayed in this game. A kingdom with a kobold advisor is a cool kingdom! James seems to be a reliable poster as well.

Justine Arondel
I'm not all that drawn into the backstory but i really dig the sword wielding rightous oracle with milky eyes.

I'd like to thank Mott and everyone for the opportunity to join the Kingdom. I'm looking forward to a lot of fun and a lot of role-playing!

Kobold rights!

HP: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

Rerolling the 1: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Checking in and rolling HP.

2d10 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10
1d10 ⇒ 8 In case of a 1

And of course thanks for the invite.

Mott - Jon has a large tent with horse and wagon and no direction sense, so he can litterly be "lost" anywhere and easily stumbled upon if that helps you to integrate him in anyway.

Welcome new additions! Motteditor choose wisely :)

Yip yip! Prazil is here too!

HP: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8
reroll: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Thanks for drafting me!

Great, it's bad enough the little scaly buggers worship the ground Treshiell walks on, but now she's letting them follow her home.

You know she does an odd habit of collecting things.

Seriously, welcome aboard everybody.

OK, let's see about some specifics:
Kobolds, as you may have read/know, the Sootscale tribe was recently duped by a purple-scaled kobold named Tartuk, who apparently was in reality a reincarnated gnome who was trying to destroy it, by fomenting a war with the mites. Thanks to the PCs, the Sootscales were triumphant and Tartuk was slain, cementing an alliance.

Conveniently, the group is back at the kobold caves, so you two can join ASAP (I'll post something in the game thread once we nail down some details here).

Kereek, your armor seems fine. My thought was that Tartuk saw you as a threat, so he exiled you, using your strange scale color (the Sootscales are black-, or rarely gray-,scaled) as an excuse. (I'm assuming you'd rather stay red-scaled, so I'm going to figure you were some sort of throwback or someone who joined the tribe instead of being born into it.)

Prazil, my thought is that your efforts to find the PCs were for naught, leading you to return home -- where you discovered one of them (the dwarf, Edrukk) has chosen to stay with the kobolds. After you've pestered him for several weeks, he's more than happy to dump you on his former companions when they show up.

Jon, having you lost in the wilderness works for me. I'll simply have the group run into you soon.

That work for everyone?

Works for me!

I like it - Kereek will definitely be Prazil's favorite adopted sister. Errr... brother. Prazil gets confused by how Kereek likes to wear dresses.

EDIT: Oh! And HP's for Prazil's wolf!

3d8 ⇒ (2, 7, 5) = 14

Sounds like a plan.

I like it - Kereek will definitely be Prazil's favorite adopted sister. Errr... brother. Prazil gets confused by how Kereek likes to wear dresses.

Smelly toad! You no smart or mighty like Kereek! Kereek make FIRE!

...

Kereek very sorry, big chief. Kereek sure you look better without tail tip.

Mott, any idea what you want to do for our super-fantastic-mystery traits you wanted to assign? Apart from that, I think Prazil's profile is pretty exhaustive.

Nope, I'll try to figure that out tonight. Trying to catch up on my PBPs interspersed with a few other chores during the day, so I'm hoping to get an introductory post up for the kobolds (and farewell to Rupert) in the next three hours.

LOL so far. Jon, forgot to mention, we'll get you introduced ASAP. I have an idea where I'd like to, but it'll kind of depend on what the players do.

The dysfunctional family of the kobolds. Unfortunately Prazil's Thor and I'm his Loki...

LOL so far. Jon, forgot to mention, we'll get you introduced ASAP. I have an idea where I'd like to, but it'll kind of depend on what the players do.

No worries. If I have to wait a few days it's ok, let is happen naturally.

I'll update as soon as you guys decide where you want to go. Last plan was to do the south side of the river to Nettle's Crossing.

Here's what's been explored so far, new folks.
