Of Ghosts and Men (Inactive)

Game Master Twilightrose

I just learned that I am leaving tomorrow for a wedding that takes place saturday and that I won't be back until sunday evening. I did know that I was going, but not so many days. Soooo... I do not know I much I will get to write, maybe a lot, maybe not at all.

Ioann's next move is to either intimidate the villagers into getting water, or to destroy a window or something like that! Either will be fine!

This will be the last battle I DMNPC Ake. I don't have time to actively recruit a replacement right now, so if anyone has someone they'd like to bring in or wants to contact someone from the old recruitment threads be my guest. Make the suggestion here and you can discuss it as a group.

Nope, can't think of anyone.

Is it Ioann's turn or Ingrids? She acted not so long ago.

It's Ingrid's turn, a new round. I took your last action for you. Right now most of the round is actions that I'm taking for NPC's, enemies, the fire, and Ake.

Right now, I cannot think of anyone, but I will check my other games.

Feel free to look over the old recruitment, too.

I'll look around, there's always someone up for Eberron.

Is the stone magical permanently or only for the next 24 hours?

Permanently, it is keyed to you and will remain magical unless separated from you or you die, after that it stays magical for 24 hours before becoming mundane.

"The burns, they hurt! What can you do?" *panicked look around and Bam- slumber hex*

Got a chuckle here. :)

I've got the beginnings of a migraine today after taking my kid to two different appointments and so I'm trying to fight that down to a manageable level. If I'm able to do that, I'll update tonight.

Sorry for the delays, will try to update today if I get the chance if not, then I will tomorrow for sure. Happy Halloween!

Two bits of news. I've spoken with Uklod's player, and regretfully he is withdrawing from the game and paizo in general. He said he's having trouble finding the time lately to log on.

The second bit of news, Ake's player wrote me a message and wanted to apologize to everyone for his absence. He is having a really rough time right now, and is understanding that we are moving on without his characters. He said he thinks it was the right call.

So, we have a couple of replacements to make if that is what you guys wish to do.

So would we want to look for more melee, magic (Divie/Arcane)? Or just run with 4 guys?

I'm open to either, so it's pretty much what the group decides.

Thinking we should look for at least 1 more melee.
The arcane, I am thinking would be flexible. :)

I can ask around in my RoW campaigns to see if anyone is interested in filling the slots?

It's possible with something like magus that both roles could be filled by one person.

I think that would be the best solution. :)
but it all depends on what people want to play.

Asking people in other games sounds good.

I'm one of those from the RoW game that may come over and help fill in the gaps. There is another as well, if she decides to join too. Not quite sure what I would build yet, not sure what wholes need plugged in the group. It seems that you're fairly well covered on most things so are there particular skills/rolls you want filled?

Going ahead and rolling the stats, let's see how badly the dice hate me today!

4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 6) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 3) = 9 8
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 6) = 13 12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 5) = 13 12
4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 1) = 8 7
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 3) = 12 11

X_x
...ouch...and that's why I love casters, I don't have to care about the dice so much.

Would I be allowed to re-roll the 2 or 3 lowest please?

From RoW, but apparently a different one to Drogeney, since I don't recognise the player ;-)

4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 5) = 17 = 16
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 1) = 13 = 12
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 3) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 2) = 17 = 15
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 6) = 19 = 15
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 5) = 17 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 3) = 13 = 12

Hmmm... I was thinking straight arcanist, but Black Blade Hexcrafter Magus looks good with that stat array :-)

Str 12
Dex 16
Con 15
Int 15
Wis 14
Cha 12

Since this is Carrion Crown, how would you feel about a Dhampir? If that would be too much, though, I could work with a half-elf :-)

Yeah, I'm from the RoW she took over.

@Drogeny: Don't forget, it was roll seven times, and drop the lowest - so it looks like you can roll a further 4d6 :-)

Eep! Thought I did!

Number 7:
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 2) = 19 17

Ah, that's better. So I have:
17
13
12
12
11
8

Now what to try and build. Luke, if you figure out what you're doing then I can get a better idea of what I'll propose.

Well, as I mentioned above, I am leaning towards a Magus(Bladebound/Hexcrafter) - so perhaps something Divine?

Wasn't sure from your post whether you were leaning towards the arcanist or magus.

I think they have divine well covered with a cleric and paladin and then a witch for arcane/pseudo divine. Barbarian (and magus assuming you go that route) for melee.

What sources are allowed for race/class?

Well, we *are* replacing a wizard (arcane) and an inquisitor (divine); what were you leaning towards?

Not entirely sure yet, part of it depends on what books we can draw from. If allowed I'd love to try out a psychic, but I don't know that Twilight will allow the occult classes. Other than that I'm not entirely sure, when you get down to it we don't necessarily have to match the categories of the classes we're replacing. I'd think something more support based might be worth the effort but I'm not sure.

Hmmm... Perhaps Bard or Mesmerist, then...?

Well, the group does already have a cleric and a paladin. So healing might not be a problem. I think what we need most is arcane and someone with useful skills.

Welcome to both of you by the way!

Sorry guys, don't have a lot of time online tonight. As far as I'm concerned, I don't really care what anyone plays race/class wise it's the group that may or may not have preferences. I'm pretty much leaving it up to the group to decide!

Excellent, thanks for the info Twilight. So, I guess the real question is what do you guys want?

From my points of view, whatever you want to make! Something that fits the whole horro theme would be even better.

Hey, folks. I'm also from the Reign of Winter game Twilight took over.

I have a notorious lack of luck with the RNG, so let's see how much it hates me!

4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 3) = 9
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 3) = 10
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 5) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 5) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 4) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 4) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4) = 10

Ugh... 9, 15, 12, 14, 13, 8. That's a 14-point buy. :/

I was considering a samsaran investigator (Henric, in my aliases, updated for this campaign) or an occultist, but that array is... Very underwhelming.

Well, you folks have fun! :P

I will allow those who want too, to reroll their numbers once.

Love you Twilight!

4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 6) = 16 14
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 3) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 6) = 17 16
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 1) = 8 07
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 1) = 15 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 3) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 3) = 13 11

Oh my, that's much better.

Bouncing between an unchained summoner and a psychic now, not sure which. I won't have anything til tomorrow afternoon/evening due to work.

Oh, well, if *Summoner* is allowed, I could totally go for a Synthesist ;-)

Awe, I love all of you guys, too!

No real rush. The opening of the AP is based around everyone having come to the town of Ravengro for the funeral of one Petros Lorrimor. Everyone having known him at some point, and considered him a dear friend. As a condition in his will, he's asked the group to stay in Ravengro for one month to help make sure his daughter Kendra Lorrimor is back on her feet and able to move on with her life. I had the last person to join (one of the ones who just left us) arrive in town late due to being lost on the road. That being said, if you guys have an idea in mind for you being in Ravengro that doesn't center around the funeral of Professor Lorrimor, I'm open to ideas.

You wonderful woman! Lets try again.

4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 1) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 6) = 11
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 2) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 6) = 19
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 1, 5) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 5) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 2) = 10

11, 10, 12, 17, 12, 11. This is painful.

I could make a full caster, since they're pretty SAD, but you already have a witch and a cleric. My investigator could work as a skill monkey with that 17 in int, but he'd be godawful at everything else - no survivability, and no combat ability. This is tough.

I'd say full caster.

Drogeney of the two options you listed, Psychic seems more apt to the setting and I've yet to see one in action, to played the right way Summoner can be creepy/cool so whatever works.

Looking forward to having you guys here.

There's already a full arcane caster and a full divine caster, though. I'm really not sure how to make another without stepping on any toes, and Drogeny's considering a psychic already. Really, it's that the RNG hates me :P There's also the fact that I find full casters boring and never know what to do with them...

Could be I just let the lucky ones play. You don't really need three more people. :P

Alright, I have two options for this AP - I'll let the party decide which they would prefer :-)

Tyrrol (N Dhampir Magus(Bladebound/Hexcrafter) 2) is a tortured soul, driven ever onward to further introversion by his obsession with the death of his mother, and the ultimate futility of existence. He seeks to gather together tools imbued with the power of the Lord of the End Times, even as his sanity fractures; whether the whispers he hears, offering advice, promises of salvation, and promises of damnation, are real or imagined is something known only to the Gods... He does not seek to end the world, however; he knows that for all things, there is a season for senescence, and seeks only to make sure that the proper path is taken.
