Game Master RPGGGM

With the heart of the Stolen Lands explored and the bandits who ruled there scattered, the long-contested realm finally lies open for pioneers and settlers to stake their claims.:
Amid the rush of opportunistic travelers, the PCs find themselves stewards over a new domain, tasked with the responsibility of guiding and guarding a fledgling nation struggling to grow upon a treacherous borderland. Yet the threats to this new nation quickly prove themselves greater than mere bandits and wild beasts, as the monstrous natives of the hills and forests rampage forth to slaughter all who have trespassed upon their territory. Can the PCs hold the land they’ve fought so hard to explore and tame? Or will their legend be just one more lost to the fangs of the Stolen Lands?

Sorry everyone! My area got hit by a hurricane and I've been without power since thursday! it was supposed to go 60+miles west of our area but we got hit dead on. Caught folks by surprise. I also cant login to my account from my phones web browser for some reason. I finally managed to get access to a computer for a day though. And I wanted to let you all know. I hope to have power again by Friday, though it could be as long as next Thursday. If I have time today i'll try to post, but its doubtful.

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck and I hope the damage is manageable :/

If it was a really long time since you used the phone browser, it might be a cookie issue. Some screwup from a year or two ago? If you can clear those it might work. Or there might be a new and shiny issue :p

Been there. I was in the aftermath of Katrina for 14 days without power, so I feel you. My heart goes out to those affected and I wish you better fortune.

No worries. Hurricanes take precedence over pretty much everything. I hope everyone's alright down there.

Actually, yes. The stress of the election is causing my depression to flare up. I'm sorry. I will try to be more responsive.

It's like watching a train laden with explosives heading for a rickety bridge above several orphanages.

I wish you the best of luck, but I am worried.

I myself have already voted from the state that looks like it is waving at you (if you happened to be in space) about a month ago.

Fun fact: I haven't been able to bring myself to vote for a Republican since they allowed Newt into the club back in the 90's when he had that C-SPAN After Dark show on after midnight in the empty House Chamber. Where he pretended to argue against people who weren't actually there--like Clint Eastwood and the chair.

Anyhow, I'm glad of my decision back then.

Now I just wear my 'VOTE' shirt around the factory every day and guilt people into voting until election day. The shirt is like my version of a playoff beard. ;)

Personally, I am not too worried about Trump winning the election, it's all of his Mini-Mes that concern me. When you top out at about 45% of an electorate and then go out of your way to alienate more than 50% of the same total electorate you've pretty much doomed yourself (even with an Electoral College). Generic Republican politicians however ran ahead of him in 2020 and the only way to teach the party that they need to do things for our votes is to enforce some electoral consequences when they don't. They are not our rulers, they are our employees.

And in closing: I feel that the GOP should be forced to take their Presidential candidate's campaign to term regardless of the danger to the life of the party.

Not our fault, but it's still sad to see :)

I saw a stat, on reddit mind so accuracy not guaranteed, that it costs europe about two coffe cups per capita and month to help. We are near the top though at about five cups. But I dare say I could go as far as ten before complaining, so there's resources to give.

Just hope this kick in the arse will get the gears turning a bit faster. But we'll see - let's not give us too much credit either. We know how that sort of thinking has worked out lately :p

Oh darn. Mephits! One of the coolest critter of the Improved Familiar family. (And dust mephits are like the perfect familiar for a cobwebbed wizard and their vast library :D)

Would Illthir's knowledge roll be good enough to know that mephits are 1) usually not evil and 2) often do speak common?

(Assuming these are still true here of course :))

See the gameplay thread.

I am personally a fan of mephits as they appeared in the Planescape setting with the idea that they are used as a secret language all on their own when presented to someone else like gifting someone flowers.

'In the complex social code of some lower-planar spellcasters, the gift of a dust mephit symbolizes a subtle threat, with the connotation that the giver has recognized some plot of the recipient against them.'

I could not believe when all four of the little blighters succeeded at their 25% chance to summon another one. ;)

Also 'elemental scamps'? I hope the change Paizo made is more one of a rights and/or branding thing than 'mephit' being a bad word in a context I am not familiar with. Alas they don't seem to have a more detailed explanation. So I am guessing the former. I don't think Hasbro/Wizards has changed their name.

I did look into Mephits a while back. My findings were that there no monster called a Mephit anywhere except dnd or dnd derived stuff. The word is approximately "noxious vapours" and connected to some goddess somewhere (that, unless I missed something; were not a tiny elemental spirit .p).

So that a "mephit" is an elemental annoyance spirit is probably a dnd original creation (or some other game dnd stole/borrowed from; but couldn't find it if so).

So if one wants their IP to be distinct from wizards dnd changing the name makes sense. But "Mephit" > "Elemental Scamp" any day of the week :)

And merry christmass, happy holidays or just a generic nice time to you all!

---

Oh and hmm so these mephits may be angry flowers from our boney friend? Or perhaps intended for someone else and stumbled upon by us, but that seems too much of a coincidence.

...Still, Mephits are cool; if this can be solved non-violently that may be good. But perhaps a bit of violence is needed to make sure we aren't murdered first :p

It is technically hp damage, and Serena was only damaged not 'destroyed,' but aligning all the individual hairs to their original stems.... ;p

Fortunately Serena keeps her hair numbered for just such a situation.

At present her hair probably looks like a really lopsided pageboy cut. The sort of thing that would have looked really cool in the 90's.

Let's see. Looking back into the past:

Eldioceasan wrote:
Stirred from his meditation over the pipe-smoke map, Eldiocesan says "Oh, here and there. Wandering wizard you know." he smile brightly. "Since you and your friends helped smoked out Szam Tass's agent in the Stolen Land I have had quite bit to keep me busy. Perhaps I'll take a break from the hunt and look into this troll business." Then he grows serious and takes Alia's hand in his. "This is serious now" he says looking into her eyes with a piercing stare. "You have made a grim, implacable enemy in Tass. He is ageless, and never forgets a slight. Be on your guard. Now if you will both excuse me? I should be away by morning and the campaigner in me tells me it is time for rest." With a wink Eldiocesan, kisses the back of Alia's hand and leaves for the night.

Tamis is friends/companions with the dappled wolf plot that I think was just before I joined.

Illthir has met the wizard at least, unsure about Tamis. (Not on screen at least, from what I could find/recall!)

Eldioceasan may either be looking into the trolls (unlikely, why would they be here?) or Szam Tass. If we are lucky!

If we are not; well doppelgangers and illusions exist :p
