Phantom Limbs: Adrift on the Orphan Sea

Game Master TheLogicOfCrocodiles

After a trip through the guts of a bizarre pocket reality and a jaunt down into the realm of Old Arms, the famed arcane smith of the night market, the party find themselves facing down the angered cityfolk in a gathering at the local docks, the entire scene lit by the cold blue light of the ever-expanding gateway through which they entered this world.

I'm sort off kicking myself here. I intended to buy a travelers anytool (250gp imitates nearly any useful tool.) It's the swiss army knife of Pathfinder. But I forgot to write it down, or deduct money for it. Oh well. Memory is a curse sometimes. Can't afford now anyway.


They are very good, would have one if my PC had the coin.

See what I did there, it's not magic it's just steam punk science hehe
Going to be fun if she meets a Mage.
"It's magic"

" no it's not its ..."


Female Orc

Well you have met an inquisitor, and he casts divine magic.


Well there you see you are wrong

Its not magic, that's an archaic and misleading word. The so called "prayer" is in fact the act of manifesting a perturbation the energy fields inherent with in the natural world. The manifester leans a cogitative pattern normally a sequence of thoughts and actions that allow the brains synapse to alter its electro-gorganic field is such a way as to felicitate a desired perturbation the energy fields. Such things a spirit, energy, life, anti life fields. The so call divine part of the cogitative pattern is in fact just focus for that particular sub-set of cogitative patterns.

HULK'S BRAIN HURTS.


Female Orc

Can anyone not see in the dark?


Think that's a yes from us all


what did we get out of the wreak GM

bedrolls?
waterskins?

any other how many etc


Three bedrolls eleven empty water containers, a bucket of various kinds of fruit and meat, and some rumpled clothing- sll immobile, solid, wooden and mostly useless.


@wombat/sallrana: wasn't saying anything about pvp, I just like to apologize in advance for playing jerk characters, cause I'm not a jerk in real life, and it can be hard to differentiate context in a text-based format.

@Gatsby: I have no problem with describing what I wanna do and letting the dice fall where they may. just figured I should ask before hand so I didn't step on anyone's toes.

@chillblame: normally, ya, the aegis gets to summon armor. with my archetype, however, I don't summon armor; I channel the abilities into my body instead.


and as a quick fyi, I will gladly take the lead and enter an obviously trapped area if asked to, so you can assume that I will in your responses if I'm not watching.


Female Orc

Vrog, I have no problem with the way your character acts, provided that he develops. If roger stays the same then it might pale after a while.
Take for examplr the charactervof jayne from firefly. He starts as a mercenary dick and he devevlops through the show, making mistakes and learning and eventually ends up as, well, still a mercenary dick. But he fights by his friends side in a do or die battle and despite some moaning about the fact, he saves people and survives.
Sorry, dropped into lecture mode.

Still I hope you get my point. As I said beforehand I like the interplay between the characters, it makes the situation interesting.

Besides, its fun to play the low wisdom thug from time to time.


I personally have no problem with Roger-style characters either - one of my longest tabletop campaigns had one of the characters caught, and with very little prompting he tried to sell the characters to a group of duergar slavers. At first i assumed that this would break the party, but instead it gave them a lot of rp opportunities player to player ad the character slowly earned back the trust of the party and became highly prized as a rather amoral strategist.

I think chillblame has hit the nail on the head with the character development thing - the bruiser can be a reljable go-to character for many things that the main party woyld benefit from but would find unpalatable to actually do, as long as the relationship between him and the rest of the party develops over time.

I guess what i'm saying is, i like Roger. Your party was created, on purpose, to contain characters whose backgrounds contain inherent conflict, because resolution and acceptance (even if begrudging) are both rp opportunities that, in my experience, rarely get to be fully explored.

To put it in a single sentence - there's a reason that Belkar is one of the most popular characters in Order of the Stick. :)


Don't forget you have an oracle in the party. So there's some "Magic" there. He just hasn't used it yet. I'm waiting for an opportunity for him to use Spark unwittingly, because I think that would be rather entertaining.

And I'm really enjoying this so far guys. ^^

No such thing as magic, it's just some thing science has not explained yet

:)


Female Orc

Gatsby how are we handling supplies. Water is a concern, as roger said he has none. We have been walking a while now in a parched environment for many hours so he must be thirsty.
Also I don't know if any has water. Well I do but that's on my character sheet.


I have some in my oracle's kit. I have 1 water skin. When we level up, I'm going to take the Create Water spell. That should help some, whenever that happens.


Female Orc

Good thought. I might check out my next levels spells for the same.


Don't worry about supplies until after your full rests - a good breakfast is the core of any day adventuring.


Silvermoon has two canteens of water,


btw, if you guys don't say anything, Roger is gonna end up trying a buncha different things because he doesn't know any better: drinking salt water, not pulling guard, over eating, forched marching, etc. He knows nothing about living in the wilds, and is pretty well unprepared for it. get him into the seedy underbelly of a major metropolis, however, and he's back in his element.


For an Age of Enlightenment just going
It's magic, spell thing kind of feel off for Silvermoon,
So thinking if giving her another drawback GM
Just cus it sounds fun


Her explanation of magic was quite entertaining. Such a non-believer.


O she's a believer, it's just she uses meta science
Not mumboojumbo frogs legs and other such old world view
Ignorance to explain things that are logical is all.

Think Philip Pulmens Dark Materials books over LOTRs

Magic is to be pulled apart and used by the new Industrial Age.


Wombat, do as you wish! I liked your explanation of how Sallrana sees the arcane.


Female Orc

I would love to see what happens if she irritates a god with that talk. As Terry Pratchett says, the gods dislikes atheists, and they go round and rock their roof
I do like the science talk, though john isn't fussed with it.


:)


Ah, I like hexquin.


I like him to hes like her servant/butler


btw, I find the idea of the two meaty guys trying to find the "scout" that was created by ghost sounds to be comedy gold.


Female Orc

At least until the foolkiller, who lurks in every shadow, gets you.
Lol.


Sheet HP 23/24 AC 11

I'm liking the fact Jack is used to a system that is falling down - as things get complicated he's reflexively chatting away in Hunter's Cant.

The fact we're going after the ghost sound is a but sad though...


Female Orc

Its good practice.


Go team Thug!! Rarr Rarr


Hey, you're not alone - it apparently fooled whatever is out there too.


That was the plan. The out there part, not you guys. XD

Sorry guys, last day of my cinference is a little hectic - normal service should resume tomorrow, gm-wise.


just wanted to remind people that i'll be available for the next couple of hours then i'll switch to my weekend posting schedule, which will be mornings and late nights.


Female Orc

Boy its been real quiet.


Yeah, sorry - just got back from conference. Things should start moving again in a few hours.


Sheet HP 23/24 AC 11

Hope you had fun :)


Female Orc

I'm sorta thinking about taking a level or three of gunslinger. It suits the character


It'll be a bit before I can post for Baldwin. I'm going back to school today and I've got a five hour drive ahead of me. As I'm trying to get everything packed up right now, I don't want to give you guys a crappy post. So I'll be posting later once I've kind of gotten settled back in. Thanks guys!


@chillblame: ya, you might wanna consider 'slinger, cause it does seem to be your first response. which, as a Army man, I can respect =)

@gator: hope your drive goes/went well. I know it's crazy weather for a lot of the US (I live in Des Moines, IA, so I definitely feel your pain!)


No problem Gator, I got Baldwin a decent hit on a creature for you in your absence.

Sallrana and John, you're both lucky that guns deliver ranged touch attacks - you're hitting, but the damage dice don't seem to be favoring you.

As soon as Jack posts I'll update the combat, but I'll let Baldwin save an action for the next round.


Female Orc

how does jack get three bite attacks doing two different damages?

Quote:


attack, bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14damage: 2d6 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 8 + (1, 4) = 20
attack, bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (1, 5) = 20
attack, bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (2, 2) = 18

I'm not saying its wrong, but are two supposed to be claws


Sheet HP 23/24 AC 11

Damnit, yes two are supposed to be claws. Thanks! Mn, 3, 6 and 8... I must have insulted the dice roller's mother...


Damnit Jack, you should have rolled with it! Y'golonac had hand-mouths! (or is that Y'gonolac...?)
