Mystery of the Keepers (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

Razmir the man known as the living god is making his move expanding into neighboring nations. It seems nobody can stop him as his power truly seems to be that of a god. A select few know the secret of his power and are taking steps to end his rule with the help of another who wields the same power as Razmir. Sazed Khaim a member of the old order of the keepers.

Houserules:

Houserules:

Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.

Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.

if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.

Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.

Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...

Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: Everyone have fun.

Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).

Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

I don't use weapons or armor, and I already have plenty of scrolls. I'd be happy with the cloak or the ring of protection.

I already have a RoP, also. I also have a CoR +2 already. I could wear the mithril shirt, but it would actually drop my AC to do so. I guess the wand of false life would be the item I could make the most use of.

The mithral shirt might be useful for our upcoming magus? Or indeed the elven blade?

I've got a RoP and CoR+2 so the rest is of more use to someone else.

well...I would argue that our incoming Magus should stick to WBL and if he wants any of those, to buy it out of that or else things would become unbalanced. But I wouldn't argue it very forcefully.

FWIW, if I took the CoR, I would be replacing it with my CoR+2, so if anyone hasn't got a +2 they could take that.

None of the loot you acquire here should go to a new character you don't know about yet

Aglanda comes up sees Iramine

"So ye killed her...I supposes I knew you would have too she was changed since we entered the city and no longer the person I knew...I supposes you will be leaving now. I would ask you take me with you. I will exchange my knowledge in exchange for my freedom once we reach the mainland." she says.

"Perhaps it would be a good idea to get out of this place. I don't like it... and while the lure of the riches is strong, it's not so strong that I feel the need to linger. I have no need for any of it myself. I have no desire to spend a night in this place."

"Any riches made by the gem and the gem itself cannot be removed from the city unless you perform somekind of attuning ritual according to Iramine but the riches downstairs guarded by the serpent were tributes given from other kingdoms you could bring that. The big problem right now is the security system we tripped coming in. The city is flooding with gold and at this point the first ring should be completely submerged. The gem controls the molten gold and is the only way to stop it." says Aglanda

"Well, this may be more of an adventure than infiltrating was." Lyall seems fairly amused by the idea.

So you leave the treasure? Do you bring the inert gem?

"I think we should leave the gold that seems to be part of the city and take only what we found from her and the dragon and the cultists... Just my opinion... and leave the gem behind, unless we need it for some reason.. if the city is flooding with gold, leaving the key to it all behind to be buried under molten gold seems a fitting end for it."

Working together you manage to escape the city before it sinks into the molten gold. You make it to the exit and leave the city sealing it behind you using the key.

Then you make your way back across the jungle to the site were the boat is coming to get you and a few hours later it arrives to pick you up and brings you to the town of Vellumis were Sazed is waiting to meet you.

Bleyz gives Sazed a small bow of respect. "Thank you for meeting us here, Master Sazed. I hope we did all you expected there. The city seems to be sealed, and the gem is in the molten gold, and the priestess of Razmir is no more." He pauses a long moment, waiting for Sazed to speak next.

"I knew you would succeed yet you performed even better than I had hoped...The woman you brought with you Aglanda has offered to tell us all she knows in exchange for amnesty. We have granted it and her information has been most helpfull. It seems Rasmir intended to use the gem to purchase a vial of the sun orchid elixir."
