Actually, the word I was looking for is contact, but yes, he was saying that one of their source of information is missing.
Also vacation here mean in prison, just in case some were wondering.
Sorry - crazy busy with my job and having to make long drives to help with my mother.
I have been working extra and traveling to visit my mother. And today I became a grandpa. :) But things should be back to normal for a while as soon as I can catch up.
God Bless!
Congratulations! And congrats to your mom for becoming a great-grandma!
My first. Her 5th. I have siblings. :)
Congrats on the grand kid!
I'll wait another 24 hours before moving on just so that you have more time. This place is more aimed at your character since it involves the order.
Congrats! May there be many arrows to fill your quiver.
Congrats on being a grandpa.
I undergo surgery on Thursday to remove a lump from my abdomen. I will be in the hospital a night or two, supposedly, and then at home on drugs. I don't know what my posting will look like so please bot me if needed.
Best of luck, friend!
Yes, good luck and get well soon. Let us know!
Yes. Good luck and speedy recovery.
Same sentiment from me. Take the time needed to heal and come back in good shape.
If he's Tymon... where's Pumbaa?!

Sorry Boss, my bad. I never have the knowledges.
And so, I tend to meta-game (player, not character) to enrich the experience.
I should never have mentioned it and spoiled the spoiler.
My apologies.

Don't worry too much about. You are more then likely not the only one that does that on the forum. As long as you can separate player knowledge and character knowledge, it isn't really a problem.

Interesting. I had Anna's background tie in to the River Kingdoms somewhat. Mainly Pitax, but her old crew worked in and around that region.
Hopefully there's no bounties still out for her...
Hey guys. Apologies for ghosting my team. Work has been crazy. I am really glad I didn't slow you guys down. I'm really enjoying how the story is progressing.
When my contact did not show it sort of threw me for a loop. Still want to track that guy down. What happened to him...
I know exactly what happened to him ;)
I know exactly what happened to him ;)
Do tell, do tell... might have lost his head!
Back from a trip that lasted longer than planned.
Sorry folks, catching up tomorrow morning. Only a day or two behind.

Anna: Cool that you are taking Gilliam as a familiar. :)

Yeah, it is almost like it was done on purpose to find a monkey before a level up.... ;)
Yeah, I'm really excited. I had struggled with what feat to take and had been thinking about taking Skill Focus or Alertness to boost my commonly-used skills when I realized I qualified for a familiar (since I have both minor and major magic talents), which gives me Alertness along with a bunch of other cool stuff. Once I realized that, it came down to picking the right animal and the monkey seemed just perfect for Anna.
Special thanks to Rannik for indulging me and making the discovery of Gilliam a part of the story and not just having him appear out of thin air!
Edit: Indeed, Rannik!
I looked at a couple of prestige classes but the flavor was wrong so I stayed with plane old wizard. Soul Warden sounded good but all it really added was a weak channel to hurt undead. And with Sonny we got that covered in spades. :)
7 HP
8+2 more skill points
No BAB, No increase in saves, no new special abilities. :(
BUT 6th level spells! :)
Strangely I have, I guess from a captured spellbook, both Create Undead and Circle of Death, both at 6th level. Not even gonna copy these over into my personal spellbook.

I give you free spells and you are not even going to use them? I am hurt.
From now on, only sorcerers when it comes to arcane casters. ;p
For prestige classes:
Bloatmage: ok, fat Tolvan might not be best.
Ciphermage: Scroll manipulation might be fun.
Pathfinder Savant: which could be rebranded for the Order
Some of those might be fun, well maybe not the first one.

I actually thought of that. lol. We could role play Tolvan gaining weight and Anna dumping him... Well, maybe not.
I do have a question about a spell I picked up at level 9 but have not yet done anything with - Permanency.
I have the cash and meet the level requirements and would like to go ahead and make See Invisibility and Comprehend Languages permanent. Anmy issues?

That seems like a pretty decent haul. Not much of specific use to Anna, though. (The ring of protection is useful to everyone.)
Depends on what other powers the Moribund Key possesses, but it'd be neat to sneak attack with the vampiric touch and add another 6d6 to the hit!

tolvan's take 10 was a 31 at level 10, but I will roll here. Note a little bit of cheese in that we had not leveled when we found the key so I will roll at level 10. If I fail I can roll again at level 11. :)
Might not be necessary to apply cheese.

I am not sure Tolvan can even activate an item that casts necromancy school spells since that school is an opposition school.
Too bad you cannot use the spectral hand to pick pockets, open locks and disarm traps from a distance. That would be useful. Hmm. I think you could use they key to cast Spectral Hand then use the key to cast Vampiric Touch through it at +2 to touch. Not sure if sneak attack would apply then though. Seems like it might.
@Tolvan: No problem with the permanency spell.
Moribund Key has a complex property. The skull in the center can rotate and is placed properly could activate powerful wards, programmed images, or the release of arcane locks. The setting that Tolvan can figure out will activate a programmed images.
Sadly, this power, and all the others, once activate, will confer anyone of a good alignment 1 negative level when you activate it.
Would Tolvan know this?
Yes. That's why the roll. It's not exactly a curse, but more like a trap for any good character trying to use it.
Ouch. Is it a permanent negative level, or one of those things that stays with you until you drop the item?
I think a Restoration would fix the negative level, even if permanent. But think it would cost 1000 gold iirc. But "normal" items like this do not impose an immediate permanent negative level. Something about if you do not remove it with X number of days, maybe a week, it becomes permanent?
Either way I think we likely need to hear/watch the message contained.
To be clear, you get a negative level for any use, or any of the newly discovered uses?
Any use. Whether it is the message spell or the programmed image.
Well, there's always Use Magical Device. Anna could try to emulate an evil alignment. At +16, it's not impossible.
Though, someone's going to have to tell her that she's actually good before she tries using the thing.
Does the negative level come from negative energy, and would it affect a Dhampir the same way? I ask from a curiosity, not that Andjela is attracted to the thing.
Or is she...
No, she's not!
Note that a negative level is not that bad if it can be removed. If we actually need this as a tool to accomplish our mission... Want to at least run that programmed illusion. I keep thinking of Princess Lea. lol
