Mythic Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Nimon

So it finally begins...

First, let me thank those of you that have been with me for the long haul of this recruitment. PbP seems to come in waves and I guess I missed one on this go'round

Post your character and any questions you might have.

Red-3 standing by!

Are the words of power system being used Instead of the regular system of magic?

Ready to go.

As I worte in recruitment I am not happy with the background and might make some changes. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

As my character is born and raised in Sandpoint I should be able to tie some of your characters into the background if you want to.

I private messaged the others to post here, hopefully they will. I will give them 24 hours to respond before I open recruitment back up.

Regardless I will still start the game in 24 hours even if it is just the two of you for now.

I also private messaged answers to your questions, in case you missed them Words of Power is NOT being used in place of the regular system, it is being used by the BBEGs to give their magic a subtle and tested difference. I will allow players that wish to take the feat in UM that gives them access to a few words after they have had a few encounters with them.

First level backgrounds I prefer simple. You are level 1, you just learned the basics of your class, its unlikely you have done a whole lot yet. All I usually ask is some insight as to why you have certain traits other than that you will define your character as we play. I usually have plenty of plot hooks of my own, and this AP certainly does that I do not need you to come up with them.

checking in

A late check in. If you find anything wrong with Isorian's stats or background let me know.

Welcome to the game. The only thing some of you missed is your Ascension is Fated, which really doesn't matter mechanically, but that is the whole thing with the harrow cards and being born under a specific sign ect.

Game Tab is up

Ok now that the first "combat" is over any questions/concerns? If you have played this campaign before hopefully you can appreciate some of the differences so far, but I try to keep true to the overall theme of the campaign.

None springs to mind, perhaps you could give some pointers on how you like combat posts. Is there anything we need to change?

Good question, but sadly I have nothing to add you all did well. Sorry your dagger was so blunt Isorion, heh.

I do not always do that spoiler combat, unless someone is not with the group ect. For example a rogue that goes to scout or rob someone I will resolve their combat outside of the group via spoiler boxes.

Actually that fight was really fun. By missing one whole page when I read the mythic rules I forgot about the bonus hp, and thought that my mythic character will get a hard lesson from the first critter.

ill check on that Isorion

Enduring Armor (Su): When preparing your spells you may leave a single arcane spell slot unfilled in order to grant yourself a lasting armor of force. This effect grants you an armor bonus equal to 3 + 1/2 the level of the empty spell slot (minimum 1). The armor persists as long as the spell slot remains empty. This ability is an abjuration effect with a level equal to the level of the spell slot. If it is dispelled or otherwise ended, it can be resumed as a standard action.

The higher the slot used the more armor gained. I will let you use a 0 level slot, but then the bonus will only be 3, if you use a 1st level then I will allow the minimum of +1. Fair?

Coming in to join the group! Thanks for having me as a latecomer, Nimon.

Do you want me to run a combat as well? Happy to do so.

Yes, you can do that to earn your hero point then join the crowd.

Cool. I shall begin post-haste.

Thank you for the clarification. Forgot about the minimum 1. I shall go with the 1's level spell slot hopefully that will still leave me alive when we meet something mythical.

Greetings Avizzi!

I am little lost. Do you want us to continue with the Swallowtail festival GM? I might need a pointer if so?

I am just letting you all wonder around a bit to get to know the town some. If you are finished with the festival just go to an inn and sleep off the drink you had.

As a side note the "local dancer" was Idril, sorry for not being more specific.

Oh! ok I missed that. That works.

Idril approaches Isorion with a smile.
"That is so sweet of you to try to protect me...
"Wait. 'Local Dancer'? I have a name you know!"
She flounces off in a huff.

I will be hosting a Dragon Age session today at our local game store for Table Top day so I will not post until late this evening.

Sorry for the unfrequent posting. I'm on a one week trip on the east coast and since my tablet and the hotel.s wifi don't quite get along I' m forced to post from my cellphone. So please bare with me.

No problem, Pazio seems to be having issues too very slow lately.

Hey, just a check-in to let people know that I'm going to be traveling for the next few days--I won't be home until Wednesday night, most likely (EDT). I'm hoping to have some access to the internet during my travels, but I may not, so bot me as needed, or find a reason for me to fall into the background for the time being as needed! Thanks.

Tarkin seems to have left us. He was the Hierophant. So far we have a Monk, Bard, Oracle and Sorceror. He was a druid, do you want me to recruit another druid or would you like something different?

Dealers choice!

Yeah, I'm fine with whatever the potential player wants.

Anything that fits with the Hierophant is fine by me.

I am with the others, what ever you and the new player wants.

I have another PbP that fell apart so I am waiting to see if the remaining members of that one are interested in this one. If none responds I will start an open recruitment in a few days.

*waves* I am one of the players from the other game in question, and I will tentatively express interest :-)

I would be happy to fill the 'Hierophant' role.

Question: I note that in the original recruitment thread, you said ARG stuff was okay - how do you feel about Oreads or Tieflings?

Hi, In this game its just Core Races, but you can take the alternate traits and archetypes from ARG that are offered.

Ah, fair enough: I misunderstood what was meant by 'extras from the ARG' - I thought it meant extra *races* from the ARG ;-)

Alright, how about a Dwarven Cleric(Forgemaster) of Torag?

Hi all I just got back from a month long deployment and had someone set up to play my character but that fell through, and I go on three month one here soon so I'm letting you know that it's cool to replace me. sorry about all this I really thought this other person was going to cover me.

Ok Tarkin good luck in future. Yes that race/class will be fine Luke.

I noticed post 238 has a spoiler tag for Idril, but nothing happens when I try to open it.

It should be up now.

Alright, Sergei von Janderhoff, reporting for duty :-)

A fellow bearded adventurer!

I can't think of a situation where more Dwarves *doesn't* improve the tone of the setting ;-)

Happy to be aboard!

Well, uh... to be honest...

...I'm an Ulfen, not a dwarf...

...But, uh, same difference, right? I mean, I've still got a beard, and I still like ale.

Heh. Well, *one* Dwarf is still more than there was before, so my original comment still stands ;-)

That said, I am sure we could arrange an adoption for you ;-)

I wont be able to post until monday. I have an exam taking all my time.

Hey, GM, I was just looking over the sheet and I seem to have Avizzi a couple points short on the ability score point-buy. Right now he's at 18 by my math... So, is it okay if I raise his Con score to 14?

Yes I just double checked your numbers and they are off. Raising con to 14 would fix that.

Fixed that, and also a miscalculation on the Will save from a ways back.

I'll be away for the weekend.
