Rise of the New Runelords

Game Master Harakani

I am very sorry for my failure to post, gang. The combination of Gen Con and writing deadlines, in addition to regular work and family, overwhelmed me. Even now I am dead tired. But I am unfairly holding everyone up, so I'm bringing it tonight.

Thanks for your patience.

That's ok. There's enough of us that a lull in someone's posting rate doesn't slow the game much as long as we aren't in combat. All of us have roughly the same goals anyway, so I doubt we've done anything that your character would have disagreed with.

Jump in again as soon as you're ready.

If we can expose the parasite, I think we can probably come up with a spell to kill it without harming the host (magic missile springs to mind)

Then, I can Animate it and use Marionette Possession or Control Undead to make it carefully crawl out of the leg without leaving poison or barbs or anything behind like parasites sometimes do.

clever. Tiniest zombie ever.

Grey has a special hatred for living parasites. Once they're dead though, they're just another tool in his kit.

Animate dead would be sufficient.
Very clever idea.

Working on a response now. It may take me a bit...

edit: Can we consider perhaps everyone learning Thassilonian or some such rare language for those times when we feel the need to speak privately while still in public?

It'll only cost us a skill point at next level. I think it's a good idea.

I'm a big fan of a party language.

I second Thassilonian. It's definitely the most in keeping with our theme, and the odds of anyone else speaking it are pretty slim.

Some of us already speak it! If you'd all been as diligent about going to your classes as Taerine was... : )

I thought I spoke it too. Somehow it got left off my list.

I just checked. Thassolonian is already on my list.

Yes, several members already speak it, which was one of my reasons for recommending it. However, neither Anglon, nor I, do.

Of course, poor Anglon doesn't speak anything but Taldane.

There's always one slow student in the class. ;)

What? Huh?

Master Grey, that was both disgusting and awesome :)
Look, Anglon and Grey have the surgery well in hand, decisions seem to be made, and we seem to be a bit stalled.

Unless I get an objection I'd like to fast forward back to the keep and Hargran.

I've got a scene for the introduction to Mythic rules which I've been wanting to use since I put up the game.

I was figuring we'd do a years downtime - do I understand now people are keen to find the Mites and rescue the Idol before that?

I'm good with a flashback. I would put a title in bold as you start the scene and again when you fast forward. Keeps things clear.

I have no objection to a flashback although I would like to 'clear out' the Mites first, yes.

I'm fine either way. Happy to go mythic (though with seven of us and only six tiers, looks like we'll have so overlap).

I know I'm the dumb one here, but did I miss something? Are we going to be mythic?

Id prefer wo wrap up the mites and cement our relationship with the kobolds.

Just you & I, Anglon. After all, as the new Runelord's of Humility & Love it behooves us to match or surpass the previous Runelord's of Lust & Pride.

You two need to be mythic just to keep up with how awesome the rest of us are. :p

This is also a Mythic game. Resurrect the true Lissalan Church and in return you will become her Champions on Golarion. Don’t worry about mythic tiers for now though. I have plans for post-kingmaker play, but as that is a long, long way away so don’t worry about that for now either.

:)

I'm hearing three votes for "wrap up the mites then get mythic then start kingdom rules then get level".
I've never had a group fight so hard to stay where they are :p

It's just a desire to follow the narrative threads we've started. It's the same reason you don't skip chapters when reading books. The journey is as important as the destination. Maybe moreso, since the destination is meaningless without the journey.

Well, now I feel bad...

While I completely agree with MG as to why, I see no reason why you should feel bad Harakani. For all that the Characters are starting at a noticeably higher level than generally for this AP, we are all still feeling our way both as Characters & as Players, that includes how we play with each other.

Exactly. :)

Thanks :)
meant more that I seem to be pushing the mechanical aspects.
It's an intriguing story, I don't want to lose people because we're going too slowly though.

Four votes ;o

Btw, I apologise for having been silent those last few days. That doesn't mean I'm away from the game just that my character stays silent.

Step 1: Mites -> Step 2: ??? -> Step 3: Mythic

:)

Step 1: Mites -> Step 2: ??? -> Step 3: Mythic

Step4: undead wasp mounts

Step 5: Profit

What is it with you guys turning everything undead? :)

That's what necromancers do. Every enemy is actually just an ally. They just don't know it yet. :)

We're going to end up facing nothing but constructs, aren't we...

No! Constructs, Elementals, Oozes... the list goes on and one!

Grey's mother told him to make friends one time. She should have been more specific.

I can't help it that I'm so lovable.

"My magic is powered by love"

"Yep, every time I cast a spell the divorce rate goes up."

Now I almost want to take level of Undead Bloodline Sorcerer, just to see if I could get my Bardic Music to affect undead.
Almost.

Crossblooded. Undead + something I forget. There's another that lets your charm affect something else that's normally not charmable. Animals or something. would need to research if you decide to go that route.

The 2nd level of Agent of the Grave will let me use morale effects to bolster undead.

And yes, I'll be starting that PRC at 8th level. :)

Technically, I'm not certain you would qualify. Lissala isn't a Goddess of undeath.

Psh. I was just going to argue to the GM that it's a very fitting prestige class for Grey and see if that completely arbitrary prerequisite could be lifted. Its not like this is PFS.

(incredibly stupid and/or overly restrictive feat and prestige class prerequisites is a particular pet peeve of mine)

Mine too.

I don't disagree, but one person's incredibly stupid and/or overly restrictive feat and prestige class prerequisites may well be another person's well thought-out balancing or world-building measure.

I don't think I'd ever be able to agree to some of the prerequisites I've seen as 'well thought out'.

Augment Summoning springs to mind as a handy example. It's prerequisite is Spell Focus Conjuration.

Spell Focus Conjuration is kind of a bad feat to begin with, since there are a very small number of Conjuration spells that actually require Saves. It's badness is compounded when you're forced to take it in order to gain access to a feat that is about casting Summoning spells, which never require saves.

In my head, it's basically the designers saying "Summoning is a really powerful option, so in order to be extra good at it, we'd like you to light one of your feats on fire."

Preach

See the good part : you can then take Varisian tatoo for Conjuration...
