OGGM's Sins of the Saviors (Inactive)

Game Master Old Guy GM

The threat to Varisia, in the form of an army of giants led by a stone giant wizard named Mokmurian, is over. Our heroes slew the evil giant in his lair in the fortress of Jorgenfist. But a greater threat now looms...

I hope I don't ever have to go the surgery route. It never hits me like you'd expect - lifting something heavy. This time I was setting up a folding table for a yard sale, go figure...

First time I had back trouble was after I'd helped my sister move house. The trick was, I felt pain in my elbow, not my back, so it took a while before I figured out what was wrong.

Ugh! I meant: "Now which way..." not "No which way...".

If I disappear tomorrow, the centre of Dorian is passing by less than a km from my house. Feel free to bot.


Glad you didn't disappear, Praxim. I will be out until Monday.


All,
Received some difficult news last week about my son. I will elaborate when I know more, which is hopefully soon.

If anything about my status changes, I will let you all know.

I … hope it turns out right.

No worries. Thanks for letting us know. Take care of your family.

Ditto, here.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

I echo the others. Don't even sweat this. Hope and pray all is well with your son, bud.


Good news on the home front regarding my son. All the tests came back negative for cancer. We are a happy bunch, as you may imagine.

It's been quite the emotional roller coaster, so give me a few to catch up and get us back into a roll. Thanks for your understanding and patience!


F/R/W: +25/+23/+22 AC/T/FF: 33/19/26; CMD: 36; Perc: +22; Init: +9; Max HP: 179; Current HP: 168; Temp 0;

That’s great to hear.


Female Half-Orc Evoker 10/Cyphermage 6; Init. +2; Perception +12; Darkvision; Arcane Sight; Fly 40 ft.; AC 23 (+3 Dex*, +1 armour, +1 Deflection, +1 natural, +3 Mage Armour, +4 Shield); HP 91/104; Fort +9, Ref +8, Will +16

Whew! Thank goodness for that.
What made you all think he might have cancer, though?


His original visit took a biopsy. This was back in July. Three weeks ago, we just happened to open a letter to him from the doctor that said they had been trying to reach him since then to come back for a follow up because the initial biopsy results were pre-cancerous or cancer. As we all know, early detection is key, and we had already missed three months.


So let me re-read where we are, and get moving again...


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Can we tell the difference between the "good guy" sinspawn and the bad ones?

Grand Lodge

good guys wear gold.


Crazy busy today, probably tomorrow. Will do my best to get something in.

Grand Lodge

OGGM, with all sincerity, you are EVIL!


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Lol! Evil? Most assuredly would have to agree. But oh my gosh that is so freaking BRILLIANT!!!

Man o man I was expecting something to the effect of Storm of Vengeance x2. Or 3. Or 4. Maybe a couple of nasty death dealing demons. Maybe just a little ol' Balor. ;)

But THIS? Man I did not see this coming. Absolutely and utterly fantastic. :)

Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.


Thanks guys. Dax, at least I hope that you meant EVIL in a positive manner! :)

Just trying to keep this adventure to be more than just a 'we wander around and beat up monsters' kind of thing. Hope you all like it as much as I enjoy running it. Just wish I had more time sometimes...

Grand Lodge

I mean EVIL in the sense that Tomaru cast True Seeing on Praxim, because, if Praxim sees something wrong, he'll attack which will cause Thordak to attack him and not Tomaru.


F/R/W: +25/+23/+22 AC/T/FF: 33/19/26; CMD: 36; Perc: +22; Init: +9; Max HP: 179; Current HP: 168; Temp 0;

Praxim senses nothing from the Aurora apparition, but his senses do tingle as he slowly pans his bow towards the Desnan cleric with the maniacal laugh...


Nobody has to attack anybody here. Guess we'll see what we see. (True Seeing pun intended.)


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Lol! Sorry, but I had to read your bluff spoiler Praxim. You rolled an 11! I typically never read spoilers but with an 11 I just had to! Plus, metagamey wise, I knew what you were trying to accomplish.

Pretty funny stuff. Fortunately for you you're dealing with a not-so-wise dwarf so an 11 is not such a terrible roll. :)

Aurora is still there next to you. This woman just teleported in.

Oooh okay. Man I was confused. I wasn't exactly clear on what happened so... I just guessed. :P Thanks for the clarification. (For the record, that would've been pretty cool if she was the one posing as Aurora. Talk about "sneaking in while totally being watched").

@Tomaru: You know, I was thinking she did but somewhere along the way I freaking flat out lost my info on it. I'm guessing it's still active, right? I'm totally lost on the duration of the spell.

Let me go back and try and find it again. I know good and well I had to put it somewhere in my previous posts.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Okay! Got it. He's got resist 'insert element here' 10. So 10 fewer damage. Gonna make a new post to "edit" the last one so it makes a bit more sense. (Mainly for me to be honest). :P

Tomaru follows his girlfriend's example and casts Greater Dispel Magic at the angry chick.

HA! And you know what they say: "If the angry chick ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy." :P

Lym, what's your caster level? Resist Energy goes up to 20 at 7th and 30 at 11th.

Well okay. Looks like I got it wrong again. For some reason I thought that seemed kinda weak but just figured it is what it is.

Okay well that puts him at 169/229 then. Will get it right eventually. Maybe. No promises.


Ok guys, you may have noticed that I'm not including all the attack rolls and such like I used to. The prime reason is that I am not a typist, and all that extra typing takes me twice as long (even when I can cut and paste). Please think of it as rolling behind the screen, I think we've been together long enough you can trust I will be fair. I will still try to have 99% of the critical rolls (like the Flesh to Stone save) made by you guys.

Again, I apologize, but I'm finding I can get these posts out quicker at these higher levels where I have A LOT of rolling to do.


F/R/W: +25/+23/+22 AC/T/FF: 33/19/26; CMD: 36; Perc: +22; Init: +9; Max HP: 179; Current HP: 168; Temp 0;

I have no problem with that.

That being said, I feel like this is going to be the toughest battle yet. We may lose some folks here.

So I’ll go on the record and say that Praxim very much would like to be raised, should anything untoward happen.

Grand Lodge

Oh no. You're not getting away from Markum that easy. He's been waiting a long time to see you so he can tell you you're not as cool as you think you are.


F/R/W: +25/+23/+22 AC/T/FF: 33/19/26; CMD: 36; Perc: +22; Init: +9; Max HP: 179; Current HP: 168; Temp 0;

I am, too! Just ask me! I’m a paladin, so I can’t lie!


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Heck no! Got zero issues with that, OG. Whatever helps make it run smoother for you, bud.

And should anything untoward(HA! Good one, dude. I love that word) happen to Thordak, he will go on the record saying Praxim shouldn't be raised. ;D

But, fortunately for Praxim, Thordak is utterly confident that they WILL WIN THE BALLGAME! And everybody lives. Just this once, Rose, everybody lives. You can put that in 3 inch headlines. You heard it hear first, folks. :)


You know time flows differently in the afterlife, so there's probably plenty of time for Markum to harangue Praxim before he is raised.

EDIT: Let's put it this way: the guy in charge will provide all the time Markum's player feels is necessary... :)


F/R/W: +25/+23/+22 AC/T/FF: 33/19/26; CMD: 36; Perc: +22; Init: +9; Max HP: 179; Current HP: 168; Temp 0;

Praxim sticks his tongue out at you all in a very dignified and paladiny fashion.

Does an AoO Combat Maneuver trigger an AoO? Never thought about it. For the cool factor, I'd do it, but I don't want any rules-breaking here.

It does. And yikes, we’re all in trouble.

You know, there's no way I could've told you that. Had ZERO idea that was the case. I guess that would probably be due to the fact I practically NEVER use combat maneuvers.

Mainly due to the fact that the bad guys CMD is so dang high, it pretty much seems impossible. And I'm not just talking about this chick, I'm talking about ALL of the bad guys and it just doesn't seem worth it. You'd have to specialize in it to have any real shot at it.

Pc's CMD's are far weaker and are much more susceptible to CMB checks.

Of course, this is strictly nothing more than my 2 cents on it. I'd say 'Keep the change' but I actually don't have the 2 cents on me right now. IOU maybe? :P


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Okay, I'm totally loving this magic battle between Lym and the firey chick! So freaking cool. It reminds me a bit of Potter. Only without the wands. :)


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

The chick AND the demon have mirror images?! Freaking a. Man this battle is no joke. Good times! :)


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Folks, this is my busy time of the year at work. So there might be a day here or there I don't post if the day's too long for me and I'm flat out beat. So if I don't get a post in, you'll know why. Just giving a heads up.

Heads up: it's our busy season and we're having a merger, so work is kicking my butt. =_=; If I'm holding things up, please feel free to bot me. Things should calm down around New Year's.


Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our final chapter .
As before, let's migrate over to the new page and continue from there. Once I have everyone in, I will deactivate this thread.

Let's finish this...
