We got: Bertram, Tate, Ivanna, Azulth, and Alton. Any other PCs still out there?
Is it dead, are you all done?
I'm still here I'm just a bit busy which is why Alton is being rather passive, I'm going to put up a post of him exploreing.
I'm here... I just don't know what to say, and no-one else has said anything...
here. i've had a soul-crushing few weeks at work. i have been responding in games where i was being interacted with but i havent been very proactive in pushing things along. i didn't bring as much work home with me tonight as i have been, so i can post and respond several times tonight. i should be relatively active tomorrow as well.
im also active on weekends but most other people arent.
I'm very sorry, but I am going to have to drop out of the game. Haven't been able to really keep up with it as of late.
Feel free to use Ivanna as an NPC.
I may check in on occasion to see how things are playing out because there are a few things that I am still curious about regarding this adventure.
No worries, it has been going very slowly.
have we lost Oom?
It looks that way.
ah, that leaves the throne open to someone else.
i'd claim it myself, but that would be greedy.
if i remember correctly, it is most suited for those who enjoy divination.
Well we will leave that for once the group is done with the elf and move to the throne room.
I am pretty sure where I want to move this, but before I do, I need to know who has finished Legacy of Fire?
the AP? i dont think i have done that one, and if i have, i didnt get very far.
actually i think i did start that one and the game petered out.
I was going to start you guys off near the end of it. At least that is where the hook is... you can always choose to do something else.
I need to know what kind of connections you have with the gods, please PM me. There is much missing from all your background stories, especially since you are gestalt and 20th levels. But alas, just type up something and get it to me by tomorrow about which gods and how you are connected to them.
And a contact from your past that has been very connected to you.
Itll be late tomorrow for me. Now is when I go to bed, wake up in 7 hrs, get ready go to work, work until about 17 hrs from now, then come home, go for a run, then ill write something up.
I'll be thinking about it in the mean time, though.
Works for me. I will begin making spoilers and movement...
im not totally familiar with golarion yet, never had a campaign set there yet
what's the most technologically advanced/construct using country/region?
Alkenstar has firearms.... and aliens potentially...
now that my computer is working again I finished the imp and gave him a name
he is Rekhit
class levels warlock 18 sorcerer 1
could I make my alpha one of the allotted 6th lvl followers im thinking swashbuckler, but rouge would work.
I'm trying to think about more details for the backstory as asked
for a Deity, Torag.
as far as an NPC who was close and connected to Bertram, there was his father but he was mad and died when he experimented on himself.
If you want a living on, I will continue thinking on that.
For a closely related NPC, Edrukk (a high priest of Torag). The two met after a battle in which Bertram stopped by to help tend to the wounded and fortify defenses. This was back when Edrukk was an entry-level priest. Shocked and intrigued by Bertram's being and appearance, he sought to know more about this form of artifice the Maker had allowed. Edrukk is occasionally spoken ill of for associating with such a creature, but it is mostly considered harmless.
Yes Alton if you want, feel free. Rogue would make more sense, nonetheless who did it train from?
Seriously, I have never played any of my campaigns to level 20 before normally ends about level 13. In just one campaign did one character make it all the way through, always with 3 or more other PCs, but he interacted with over 200 NPCs that had major impact on him.
Think of contacts: Venture captains, high priests, merchants, nobles, royalty. People you worked for, organizations, etc. Where did you get your training? Are you all loners, do you not make relationships with others as you have grown in your levels? followers, worshipers, allies, friends, companions, enemies, pact brothers, nemesis?
Alrighty I will work on a more prodigious background
well I have never played any adventure paths, so I (the player) don't really know any "venture captains" for one
and none of the campaigns I have played in otherwise ever got past lvl 6
other than one where you start at lvl 16 gestalt and don't advance and some 2e I played a while back
I could get started if I knew where the most construct/technology rich region was for one
Yeah, it would help to know a bit more of the world. Golarion deities, Golarion setting?
Golarion deities I can just look up,'my one pathfinder book I own on golarion is the "gods and magic"
I'm thinking Alton pays homage to both nordbirger (god of secrets, death, darkness and poison) and Nethus (magic)
Sorry about the lack of posting, I've been busy and traveling all weekend. PMing you shortly, GM Wolf.
Honestly, I don't know much about Golarion... I have so many books and so little time to read them all. No worries Azulth.
Putting this here for ease of GM judgement... my background should be up before Saturday...
Wanting to join game... would request no player look at this page
I am ready to join game if you approve me.
Only things left to select are spells and equipment...
Sorry folks that this thread/game has been going so slowly, I have actually been giving you guys time to act, or another player to act.
In my opinion striving after godhood will need a villian or massive plot to stop. Working on that now.
If you want to have a monster fight, there are options now. Others will be showing up later.
I have never DMed much past 15th level, it just seems like what I have thrown your direction just gets annihilated, perhaps that is the point, let alone this is rules light.
I am going to throw out a question: Where would you like to see this campaign go in a sentence or two. It is taking shape but I want your input as well. Any suggestions will be helpful.
I can understand your difficulty, games at this level are quite difficult to run.
In terms of where to go, I would say:
We should stop an ancient and powerful evil, or prevent the penultimate evil machinations thereof (perhaps they are trying to corrupt a god). Working so closely with such powerful magics and ancient eldritch machines should open plenty of doors to godhood.
The biggest problem you'll have is the gestalt rules. I strove to make a strong character in combat, but not an invulnerable character.
In order for there to be tension a character has to be killable, to that extent you will have to either out right break rules to kill some of us or threaten us, or wave god hands around.
I'd personally suggest somethings like epic/dr, high dr/-, plots regarding belief etc.
custom monsters, really really big epic monsters
send us at crazy stuff like half dragon jabberwocky with 10 druid lvls
or a plot to awaken rovagug with potential fight between us and his spawn
or fanafair the father of all linnorms maybe with a few bodyguards of half blue dragon ice linnorms who are in turn also wizards
A good tactic is something like imprisoning the fighter or barbarian inside of a force cage or similar and starving him out...
Tense, dramatic, no rule breaking....
Thank you all for your suggestions. I am concocting many different ploys and plots, let alone beastly beasts with magical abilities.
If you have any questions to the 'mage' feel free to rapid fire at him, we will just call it a long conversation. :)
I intentionally made a less-than-optimized character, because it was an idea that I wanted to use. Azulth is kickass in his area, but in a lot of other places he's not going to hang around long (thus, contingency plans to get the hell out).
As for where to go, please gods, an assassination... haha.
i made tinkerer to be an extreme support character. both of his classes are support classes.
my opening attack is Maximized bone shatter quicked bone shatter
i made tinkerer to be an extreme support character. both of his classes are support classes.
I'm support with decent damage...
Healer and a cannon rolled up in one...Also I have a jackal
Sorry for lack of posts. Got really busy.
I just realized I don't actually have any fire resistance huh
well given 10 minutes I could get some
Pritty sure roll img a fort save implies i resisted.
you can fail on a 1 unless you have fire resistance,
A 1 auto-fails.
Dr. You can delete last post..
saving throws are subject to natural 1s and 20s.
See above.
As are skills.... I thought/hope
