Reign of Winter - DM Twilight (Inactive)

Game Master DM Twilight

Awww, you're so sweet.

I'm feeling quite a bit better now. Still a little blah, but nothing like I felt a couple of days ago.

I try. Glad you're doing better, and I hope you had a good Christmas!

Yeah, it's pretty nice to know that your "plague" was mostly over before christmas!

I wasn't as lucky as I thought. It was like I had a day and a half there where I was feeling better and then by the next day I felt like crap all over again.

That's really sucky. I hope you get back to that 'feeling better' phase ASAP!

Just because the Red Raider is right in front of Grimkell, I'm going to hold off posting until after the DM gets a post up for that guy. It's action will impact what Zisel does in terms of action/movement.

Just writing to say that I won't be able to write until the 5th of january, my wife and I have more traveling to do than what I was expecting. Please try to keep Grimkell alive while I am gone!

Sorry about the delay. Moved over the new years weekend and started a new job. Needless to say I'm still catching up with life after that plus the holidays.

After the lodge fight, I will stop posting for Yeva. Don't think the player is going to have internet anytime soon and has only been able to post intermittently in his oldest campagign.

Does this mean we'll be recruiting again? Is this game cursed or something?

... you guys are rough on Grimkell, forcing him to stay in melee like that! Healing would be appreciated :)

I blame myself. I didn't notice how low on hp you were, otherwise I would have healed you! Sorry; I'll do it on my next turn, I promise >.>

No problems! Just forced Zisel to do it! *evil laughter.

Sorry for my absence. Things have been crazy around here. I've moved and gotten a new job that has me with almost no free time during the week. 10 hour days paired with over an hour of commute time each way. Ick.

Anyways, as it stands, I'm just not able to keep posting in the forums any more. Really sorry about this. Good luck with the campaign!

I'm glad to hear you have a new job and I'm sad it's taking you away from us. Good luck to you.

You'll be missed, Zisel. Best of luck with the new job, and pop in from time to time if you get a chance!

Indeed, that is quite a loss. Hope everything goes well with your new job!

Thanks for letting us know! I hope you figure out some fee time in their somewhere for your own sake :)

Hey guys. We'll be needing some new players to fill out the roster soon, because I'm not sure how long we can keep up botting those who've left, and I've got a good friend who I think would be a good fit for the game. Twi told me to see what y'all have to say about this proposal. So, thoughts?

Hello! I'm sure this is unprofessional to say hi before invited, but oh well!

If you're curious, I have two concepts.

The first one is more fleshed out. This is Delilah d'Corcaron. She's a swashbuckler going into warpriest (sacred fist) for rapier flurries at level 5. She's got a more fleshed out background, and would be the "martial" build I'd prefer to play.

The other idea is based entirely on some artwork. This picture, in fact. She'd be an earth-dweller transported from modern Earth into Golarion in much the same way your former brawler was, but as an artist and eccentric, she'd handle it a lot better. Class would probably be Cleric or Oracle, worshiping Shelyn. Admittidly, this is the higher-risk choice, and I'm not convinced it's higher reward than Delilah is, but I'm throwing it out there.

I'm eager to hear what you all think about accepting me into your group!

Aest

How would you guys feel about merging with my other RoW campaign?

I'd be fine with it, I just want to play the campaign, not to particular about who with.

I think it would make things a lot easier for me. Both games have had recent losses and both are in the same location. They haven't actually started fighting the raiders yet, so you guys are slightly ahead. I figured that if both sides are conducive, we'd combine them and and then see what we still need. That way if you guys want to take in Aest, they can fill what's missing.

I'd be happy with a merge. I didn't realize you were running another Reign of Winter game; it would certainly save you a lot of hassle if the two merged.

I'm fine with it, and hopefully Aest up there would be happy to fill in what the party needs (which seems to be begging for some kind of heavy melee).

Just leaves Grimkell to weigh in, I believe.

Oh, and Aest - love the concepts. Delilah looks like a blast!

Thanks. I can modify Delilah to offer something a little less cutesy than the Flurry of Beer build. Maybe a barbarian or, um, something similar? The backstory could stay nearly the same.

Sending the others over. Not sure if Snjorinn is still with us on that one or not. Either way. I told them to come over to the discussion here.

Aest, I did get your message but I'm still trying to work out who all is actually still with us.

I'll be bringing over my DMNPC Annalisa as well, she's a barbarian so take that into consideration as well. Ultimately, I'll leave it up to everyone else and you to work out what you make.

Hey all. Happy to be here.

Hello, everyone! Thanks for having us!

Looks like a fairly caster-heavy group - on that note, Machaera is a hexcrafter magus, but not the toughest one out there, aiming more at having a range of useful tricks to offer in most situations. I'm rubbish at optimizing, and not particularly interested in the focus on one or two spells that I gather is often considered ideal for magi, but I'm happy to hear ideas about how best Machaera can contribute. (On a side note, for backstory purposes, she'll probably take a one-level dip in wizard (primalist) next level or so, and she will dabble in firearms, but I don't have much of a particular "build" in mind, otherwise.)

Also, before Twilight sent us over, she was wondering about how best to explain in-game where we new folks were coming from. Offhand, I was thinking maybe just guessing that two groups set out, but you rolled better on tracking checks and got ahead of us, and handwaving the rest, PFS-style? We'll take your lead on what you found and who you bumped into.

We also had to spend a night making sure some of the party didn't free to death so there's that as well.

Well, if the group is still in need of a person, Delilah can be anything from an Unchained Rogue (if you allow them) to a Barbarian and still function fine within her background. Just let me know what you need, if you need it.

Welcome to the fold! We've had... a pretty rotating lineup. We lost an oracle and brought in another; lost a GM and brought in a new one (Twi); lost a ranger; lost a brawler and brought in a barbarian; lost the barbarian; lost the oracle. It's been a real rollercoaster.

So we'll have a melee skald; an archer inquisitor; a control sorcerer; a barbarian; and... a caster shaman and a debuff/control magus? Am I getting that right?

Yup. But with the Mammoth spirit Aðvinr can hold his own in melee as well. It looks like we'll be missing a rogue which I can attest to becomes a problem when you have to keep setting traps off with your face.

Given that, Delilah the Rogue might be a good choice if Twi is amenable to her.

I am open to whatever you guys decide as a group!

I'm good with whatever you decide to do, I think a rogue, or maybe a slayer, would be a good idea though.

Hi all, I am just dropping by to write a few lines to those who were in this campaign before the merging.

For various reasons, I have decided to leave the game (nothing major in my life, I just lost interest), I simply wanted to tell you all that it was fun playing with you and that I might see you around the forums!

Sad to see you go, Grimkell. Best of luck, take care of yourself, and may your dice roll many 20s!

So we're in the market for a rogue-type. Aest, what are you thinking? Could Delilah work as something like that?

Sure. Lamplighter Investigator, perhaps? It keeps trapfinding, gets rid of poison resistance, and gains a really cool couple of spells.

That sounds cool.

Let me know when everyone is ready to start again and we'll move things forward.

I'll have Delilah updated to be an Investigator tonight or tomorrow. Out of curiosity, how much starting gold am I playing with?

About to go dig my way out from under a mountain of snow

I'm good whenever.

If I recall, I had everyone go to standard wealth by level.

Which, as we're still first level I believe was max starting gold I believe?

It says "average" in the recruitment thread. I was just curious if you guys had made money and if I was going to be at roughly that level if so.

Nope, haven't really made any money thus far, mostly just been finding mundane loot from the goons.

Okay. Delilah is ready!

Just popping in to say I'm ready whenever, though precisely when I can post during the day always depends on what work is like any given day of the week. Grad school is busy, who knew? ;)

Indeed grad school is busy. Starting in the second week this semester and I already want to bang my head against the wall.

Alright, I'd like to make the transition of bringing in the groups together as smooth as possible. Delilah, are you comfortable with a simple assumption of having already been with the other group for awhile? That way I'm working with uniting two groups instead of two groups and a random third party?

I figured we would just do as suggested and have those from the other campaign have been sent out later. Perhaps they were present when all of you met with Yuln, so there is no need for confusion on that part, but they were delayed in leaving for whatever reason. We'll blame my DMNPC Annalisa.

While the larger group (those from this thread originally) is inside fighting bandits, the second group arrived. The first group walked around the crossbow trap, the second group set it off (thanks Advinr :P). The first group hears a ruckus outside, the sound of metal clanging.

Could also be that Delilah was being held here by the bandits, that would explain things without the assumption of her being with the other group.

Works for me.

Sure that works
