[PbP] Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Rorrix

No problem. The avatar's not great (too young, kind of sultry-looking), but the only other one that was even close was this. It should be perfect... except that she gives me the serious heebie-jeebies for some reason. I think it's the weird grayish skin color - she looks like a corpse. Anyway, here's the picture that's closest to what I have in my head. I could buy that person being in her thirties.

I've been kind of curious about how much Anarya and Sylvia resemble their avatars, since I didn't see any physical descriptions in their profiles.

PS whenever you're all ready to move forward, followers of Iomedae should each make a Knowledge (Religion) check. No rush, I encourage stopping to roleplay and develop. That'll just be my queue to fast forward to 8 hours later and start moving forward with the AP again.

Anarya's avatar is almost perfect for how I envision her. :)

FYI, tomorrow I will be out of town for two days. I plan to bring my iPad and at least my work laptop, but I will be slightly less active in posting until Monday evening.

I am loving envisioning what a convent of Iomedean nuns must be like. I'm sure the default mental image is a Catholic nunnery, with old ladies and peaceful prayer. I'm thinking an Iomedean convent in Mendev is basically a military camp where kickass chaste female paladins train to take names and slay the hell out of some demons. :P

Whoops, bit of cross-posting. Poor Verene is getting her ears talked off!

It's over the course of an eight-hour period, so it can be assumed this doesn't all happen in one burst.

...why does Knowledge Religion hate me so?

Again, sorry I've not been on much. Tired as all hell right now, but I've got a break coming up in a couple of days, and should get some rest then.

It's alright, you picked a nice lull in the adventure to be busy. :3

Also, wow, that knowledge check... I guess Baradesh had the same luck getting Iomedae's attenion as the huecuva did getting Torag's. Must be a dwarf thing.

I wish Oath of Chastity was better mechanically, because the flavor is really neat. Making chastity about emotional self-sacrifice instead of the inherent sinfulness of sex is such a cool idea. But losing 2/3 of one of your most important class features - the Cha bonus to Fort and Ref saves - in exchange for a narrow static bonus against charms and figments? I'd never make a player do that. It's like punishing them for actually caring about roleplay. If they were that dedicated to the Incorruptible Pure Pureness flavor, I would 1) fall on my knees and thank the RPG gods for giving me such a player, and then 2) either just give them the charm/figment bonus in addition to normal Divine Grace, or suggest playing as though the vow is part of their paladin code, without additional mechanical changes.

Because you're right: asskicking chaste all-female paladin order is a Thing That Needs To Happen.

Also, no worries Baradesh! Take care of yourself!

Totally not a Knowledge (Religion) roll to see if the atheist wizard COULD help if she wanted to, don't even worry about it: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

When I made Sylvia, I had this in mind.

Something similar to the Grey Maidens?

Yes, especially if their design could be like the Grey Maidens. But hopefully less...evil? Less moral ambiguity, anyway, and more RIGHTEOUS DEMONSLAYING. :D

Oh, and I forgot to say earlier - cool picture! Sylvia's avatar seems fairly close then, aside from pointed ears and tattoos.

Ignore that post I made if you happened to read it. I thought Anevia had Knowledge (Religion) but she doesn't. If Anarya can't make the check, someone else might have to pray to Iomedae or consecrate it to their own deity instead.

I hope Xantrius's check is high enough that it doesn't matter, but usually you can't take 10 on a skill check to aid another.

... :O

You learn something new every day.

Yeah, I was surprised too, but it does make sense, since 10 is the target number. If you could take 10, you would just auto-succeed in aiding every time.

I think maybe we are ready to move on?

Agreed, don't know if Rorrix is waiting for something or just busy today.

He has been busy. He will be moving us along soon. :)

If anyone's curious, this is the melody I imagine going with those lyrics. Hope to hear from Rorrix again soon.

I promise he is still alive. I am prodding him with a stick and he is twitching and everything.

*prod prod*

*prod*

It's ConLine, isn't it? I've only got one more game to GM and then I'm done myself, yay!

GM motivational tool #18 - the Catnip Coat and Bag of Cats.

I... don't think the pseudo-cockney accent is working for me. Ugh. Still trying to get into Syl's head.

*POKE POKE POKE POKE* Rorrix come back we miss you~

It's been two weeks now without any message from Rorrix. I hope everything is all right. Has anyone heard anything?

He is alright, but he is having trouble getting online. He had to drop out of his other game he's GMing - I hope he's able to keep up with this one.

Well, it's been approximately one or two forevers, so I think even my most forceful of GM-poking-sticks is going to be unable to get Rorrix back. I'm holding out hope, but alas, it's up to him and not up to me.

I am debating GMing this game myself, actually, if he chooses not to return. Would anyone be interested?

I am not committing to anything yet (since I do not know my schedule for sure, and might not be able, with another game I am committing to GMing on here), but I'd like to know what peoples' thoughts are on me taking the reins. Just a hypothetical so far.

I'd go with it.

I would love to continue. Thank you for offering to GM!

I would absolutely love to finish this AP. I've started a few times in live and virtual tabletops, but have yet to get out of these catacombs. So count me in, if you do!

I understand the gm'ing too many games, part, too, though. I'm currently running two PbP's for PFS' PbP Gameday, and it can be a little difficult at times, but PFS scenario's are infinitely easier to GM than AP's are, considering their length and less RP opportunities.

And Rorrix can play instead of GM, too! If he's still interested!

I think you'd be a great GM, and I'd love to continue this AP. I get not wanting to overcommit yourself, though.

Alrighty, glad to hear people are into the idea. :)

It'll be hard to give up Anarya, that's for sure. I have such great ideas for her and where her story was going. Sadly, her story isn't particularly good for an accompanying NPC, as it'd require her to be mythic and kinda would steal the show if she wasn't a player.

Ooh, does this mean if we play that we can get chronicle sheets after each book, too, if we have eligible PFS characters?

EDIT - if they've even made chronicle sheets for the AP, yet, that is...

What are chronicle sheets?

They are for tracking your character's official standing in Pathfinder Society Organized Play. They are usually only given for Pathfinder Society Scenarios, but Paizo has started allowing them to be applied to character's for some of the adventure paths. It's a way to keep track of a character you can take into any Society game anywhere (conventions, game stores, online).

For more information on it, you can click on the "Pathfinder Society" logo on the top left-hand side of the Paizo web-page.

Sadly, there are no chronicle sheets for Wrath of the Righteous, since it's a mythic campaign. It's doubtful there ever will be.

Yeah, I didn't think there was, but I'm still game!

So, what would we like to do here? Morphling, what did you decide? Should we start looking for another DM?

Could we please, please, please have this moved to inactive?
