*Looks at wall of text*
Yay, plot progression!
*looks at time*
Dang, time for school. I will reply when I get a chance to read that GM.
I guess Grilvo should have offered 2.500 gp... no takers other than Aeron?
Hey, sorry, I've been at a writers workshop and seminars for the last couple days. I will get something posted tonight after I get home tonight.
Someone crashed into a power line last night and I just got power back.
Send me a PM if you have something in mind, I am always open for ideas or suggestions.
EDIT: But not before you update your stat line :)
Ok, since I am converting a couple of creatures to Pathfinder right now, I'd like to make an interest check: would you like to see Mythic rules? I can see the potential for a few ascension points, so if you guys say yes I will provide them.
I'm going to say no at the moment as I am not familiar with the Mythic rules and don't want to read them.
Karv is that a no of a truly no or is it a no of let me think about it for a while?
At the moment it's a no unless my plate becomes less full enough for me to sit down and digest the Mythic rules.
For Mythic rules - I'm good either way with it. Am currently running a home game of Wrath of the Righteous at the moment, but yet to get into the actual mythic stuff as yet (we're just a little over half way through book 1, as can only play once fortnightly for 3 or so hours).
If the rest of you guys want to go for adding Mythic, I'll happily go along with it :) so I leave it to you guys.
@Dalgar: there isn't an awful lot of new rules to digest, the majority of the content consists of options, lots of them. Since the mythic paths mostly follow the classic archetypes, you wouldn't even have to read them all. But if you say no it's ok, I won't force the issue. Maybe further down the road :)
I can go either way on the mythic road, I will need to study up if we go that route however.
What Aeron is thinking of in his 'fast horses' post is a Light horse (combat-trained), bit and bridle, military saddle and saddle bags. I can envision this becoming his companion as he levels up.
Horses available, please sign here :)
@Aeron: I am cool with a horse companion, wouldn't even be a bad choice for the upcoming adventures.
I didn't realize I missed the blood war. This guy apparently doesn't know demons too well lol.
If he's a follower of Waukeen - I doubt he'd care overly much :)
Plus the Blood War wasn't really common knowledge amongst anyone who wasn't a diabolist/demon worshipper/scholar of the Planes.
Also, tieflings could be blooded with devils, rather than demon, making them infinitely more agreeable with a contract ;)
Sorry all, I am very sick right now. I am going to read up on the game play thread and put up a post.
Good to have you back, I was worrying that you abandoned this round. If you need a few days off, I can let Kaelmourne ride along in passive mode (or with an agenda, if you have any).
No, I am here at work and will post at least once a day. His only agenda is in his background.
Dravvorn's Diplomacy check barely made it... I was actually typing a negative response when I remembered that he isn't hostile to you guys (seems I am burned by my current RL game). Not bad :)
Ok, if none of you have anything planned till tomorrow morning, we'll make the jump.
I'm good with that - I assume the half payment promised will be there with the horses in the AM. If that's the case, then Adotlin will head on to the temple of Mystra and rest for the night until it is time to head off :)
Yeah, gold will be yours in the morning. If anyone wants to buy something before the trip, the market is close by and we can handle that with just saying so.
Special horse for Aeron, albeit with a catch :)
EDIT: It really has better stats than regular horses, if that wasn't clear.
If I've learned anything from playing these games it is that there is always a catch.
Ok guys, this game is getting rather silent... what's up? If you can't post for some reason that's ok, RL always goes first, but please drop me a line or something. If it's something about me or the game, again, drop me a line, I am always open for discussion.
I usually post from school but we're doing FCAT writes is this week (state mandated essay writing testing for Florida) so of course all my other classes decide to slam me with housework. Also Karv doesn't have much to say right now.
So, what is Karv saying now? :)
*pushes players*
Not just you, but everyone else as well. Thanks to that song of yours I spilled half a cop of tea over my keyboard, so I will reduce Karv's amount of treasure by that exact amount! :)
Ok, drayen seems to have lost interest in this game, and I will let Kaelmourne drop out somewhere soon. If you guys feel better with a rogue, or just like having a fifth member, I will open recruitement for a spot, but I am also ok continuing this with the four of you. Suggestions?
Apologies for my silence. Many changes right now and I am stepping back from this game. Good luck!
Sad to see ya go man, but all of the very best with the changes!
As for having a new player to step in, I wouldn't say no to having a fifth player in the group, but am just as happy with the four we have. Whatever will work for everyone really :)
Thanks for letting us know drayen, better late than never :)
Regarding the possible open slot, I'll wait till the weekend for the others to comment and decide then.
Red Hand can be a meat grinder. I think we could probably use another player, specifically a charismatic rogue that could help in social/spy situations.
Karv good spy. Karv very good with people and nimble, like ballerina.
Ok, things get a bit slow right now. I'll wait if anyone wants to comment on Aeron's news, and then we'll fast-forward to your first evening outside the city.
Regarding the open slot, I'll open recruitment when it becomes foreseeable that your group arrives in Jhaalis.
Finally managed to dig out my forgotten realms 3.5 books for more info on Azuth, so I should be able to post with a little more accuracy regarding details of the clergy and dogma for Adotlin going forwards :)
Hopefully his religiosity isn't getting onto anyone's nerves or anything. Hard to play a cleric without a little bit of pious pompous-ness involved, lol.
Well, I don't mind it at all. My own level of FR lore is somewhat lacking, and I only have the 3.0 FRCS and the 3.5 Player's Guide. I thought about getting Shining South for this game, but copies of 3.X books are ridiculously expensive in Germany and international postage for a single book exceeds anything I'm willing to pay right now. So I'll probably deviate pretty far from stuff as-written, but if you guys like to inject some material of your own please do so!
Yeah, I definitely know what you mean by expensive books - Australia is just as bad if not worse due to shipping. It's one of the reasons I've resorted to buying PDFs over physical copies of books, despite preferring the feel of a real book in my hands rather than a tablet while reading.
If you are wanting to get books like Shining South, maybe check if there are PDFs on either the Paizo.com store or DriveThruRPG's store for the FR books on PDF (pretty sure Shining South is one of the books they've converted to PDF now), which might be a cheaper option than getting a physical book shipped to you through ebay or the like.
As for the realmslore side of it, I'm not overly fussed about whether we adhere strictly to it or not. Tis your game, and as long as it is entertaining and enjoyable, I'm good with that :)
Ok, I might have a fifth player for this game. I said you guys would benefit from some sort of roguish character, and he'll look into that and get back to me in a few days.
If he's a mercenary type then he could be friends with Dravvorn and me.
Viluki, could you complete Dravvorn's stats in the Class/Levels entry please? Several vital infos are still missing, and I'd like to avoid accessing your character's profiles during encounters to avoid possible mistakes on my part.
In other news, your soon-to-be rogue is in the making. The character will be introduced in a while, but the player will likely come here and introduce himself a bit earlier than that. It'll be his first Play-by-Post so expect a few questions, but I think that won't be a problem? :)
Sorry for taking so long with the resolution. I was hoping that Viluki would specify his action for the round, but here we are now :)
We must make a sight.
A giant red demon wielding an ax
Another demon not so red but using obviously dark magic
A ranger with a bow (I always see rangers as kind of shifty because all that time in the woods)
And Mr goody two-shoes cleric guy
And your weapon is covered with blood, a wounded horse is running away in the background, and everyone is covered with red dust. Yeah, it doesn't really scream inconspicuous...
It's funny, because Adotlin actually doesn't care about morality in the slightest :P
Do you guys want to have your XP after each encounter, or should I just signal when it's time to level up?
Just tell us when to level. I find it's less metagame exploitation that way IE hey let's go find some bears to beat up for no apparent reason. Just some experience I've had with my groups.
I'm good with you adjudicating when we level and advising appropriately :)
If you have any requests for spells, now would be the time to let me know :) otherwise I will continue with my standard suite of spells for the day. At the moment, I generally have the following prepared:
1st — bless, protection from chaos (D), shield of faith, <unprepared>
0 (at will) — detect magic, guidance, read magic, stabilize
I generally leave one spell slot per level unprepared for situational uses if we come across things that a specific cleric spell will be useful for (and if it doesn't get used, then I will eventually use the slot to prepare a spell for scribing onto a scroll, but that's a plan for when I eventually take that feat.)
