Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Rysil

Hey all,
I've found a very good piece of art that depicts Adrien very well. He is shown here in fine apparel and with masterwork weaponry, which when I can spare the GP I'll buy. He's got his Bec de Corbin in hand, as well as his Longsword in sheath.

Bravo! Very Nice Pic!

Now add 50xp to your CS for posting a picture.

OK ... after much searching this is a close as I could get ... don't laugh Talon on the right

At least it wasn't this one ... Extra Cheese

Oh my gosh.

You males complaining about cheese. Yeah... every paizo female NPC ever. If you don't have 34 F breasts you don't belong in Paizo's universe.

Oh this conversation again. I personally don't complain about cheescake. As long as everyone has a slice, of course. And its not 34F, thats absurd. Only DD is required. :)

On a side note, now I feel like I have to find a pic for Rohan and Copper.

Very nice picture Adrien. :P

Talon that just isn't fair. Esme's crush on your character became much bigger. :P

I suppose this is how I view Esmeralda with blue eyes instead of brown.

Everyone loves cheese. :D

Yeah... I know. I like cheese on mah crackers, but it is kinda depressing when I want to find like a normal looking girl exposing her midriff and all I find are big-booby-chans or like... actual child looking portraits.

Oh my gosh.

Nope.

But seriously,

Her bust isn't overboard...
Not-So-Busty
But hers... hers definitely is...
Bust-a-lot

Fair enough, Zelaria. But even those 2 aren't that bad. They look like they can walk without back problems.

I like the great character pics and didn't want to feel left out, so I did some searching for myself.

Here is a pic of Rhasa's familiar Kobo!

And I like this art for Rhasa.

OK ... after much searching this is a close as I could get ... don't laugh Talon on the right

Talon I am sorry but you need to go make a new alias as I will now be referring to you as "Boot Strap Bill's Kid"

Oh my gosh.

D&D was made by men

Old poem I wrote years ago to some idle thoughts on D&D.

Hope it fits :P

Esme, Rhasa, & Talon you may add 50xp as well and Rhasa you may add an additional 15 xp for finding one of your familiar.

Bravo all and keep up the good work

After further inspection I see that all the posts I made to the board after a certain time yesterday did not get posted. Especially a very very very long story post. So Now I have to repost everything and it could take me a few. So please be patient with me.

OK - seeing as it should probably be an artist's rendering ...
Talon a la charcoal

But this guy rolled an 18 Charisma, and Talon is sitting at a 10 so ...

Still Boot Strap Bill's Kid *Chuckles*

Talon I jest and poke fun, but I need to be clear. I like the inspiration you took for the character. Orlando Bloom did excellent as Will Turner. So the fact that someone else uses him for inspiration for a character? Bravo! As it should be. Imitation is how children learn, and how we give the highest form of praise....after all we tend to imitate what works folks.

Um, Zelaria doesn't drink alcohol, so I'm assuming this will be something else in the fort save?

OH well, my GM told me to roll it, so I'm doing it.

Spiked milk maybe?

I was thinking of a little of that old Ultra Violence :P

I was thinking of a little of that old Ultra Violence :P

We do have an old school crew here.

?

Esme,

Is it based on SL or CL,

The spell description says dispelled by higher level spell so I think we're good.

?

A reference to Stanley Kubrik's 'A Clockwork Orange'... think Sin City from the early 70s.

Ok Old Crew, Who Played him(Main Character in A Clockwork Orange)? For a fine bit of 250 xp and your medal for knowing more about movies than the DM: What does the actor currently play in, and what movie was he in with Ice-T & Lorrie Petty. (This goes to who answers first due to the web.)

I am a sucker for this kinda crap.

Oh and Adrien, I knew it was a mistake to let an Assimar in the group Darkvision and Daylight. It's like my worst low level nightmare.

Ok This is my last post of the day due to massive rainstorm hitting. I will make sure combat ensues tomorrow.

I will be trying to post the map of combat for you all to go with.

Zelaria, You do NOT need to make the Fort save as you stated you do not drink. If you do imbibe alcohol later for any reason you will be at a -1 to your save against it's effects for being unexposed and female.

I am worried we are losing Noro as she has not posted since Wednesday. Noro if you read this:

"If you want to stay in the game you must respond to me in a PM as soon as you can. If I have not heard from you by the time I sleep tonight I will terminate your status as a player. Noro will become an NPC. Please respond I don't want to lose you."

Ok guys this is it for a bit. Be well.

Ha - a freebie - Malcolm McDowell (sp?) most recently hes been on CSI Miami

Tank Girl. How silly of me.

I was thinking "was he in tank girl?" then I remembered, yes, he was in tank girl.

As the villain.

I accept your ruling, oh wise one. Might also be a -1 for being a tiny, tiny female who doesn't drink :P

ok IMDB has him in like 24 different movies and series in 2012 alone ... wow this guy works a lot.

I've had a lot of debates with friends about how Light and Darkness work.

I put it in spoiler so the text wouldn't accost everyone who wasn't interested.

As for the question on CO. I think it was one of the McDowell clan. Malcolm I believe. Has an occasional but recurring character in The Mentalist. Had to search the Ice T reference, but remembered it when I hit on it. Tank Girl. And it looks like he's in Franklin & Bash. Never seen that one.

Edit: Ninja'd, lol.

Oh and Adrien, I knew it was a mistake to let an Assimar in the group Darkvision and Daylight. It's like my worst low level nightmare.

*Sniffle, I'm not trying to break your game! You just happened to play right into my strength. At first I thought you were trying to make me shine or something. Either way, this can still be played as low light right now (assuming the reason the light went two steps down to completely dark was because the lanterns and/or candles went out too.)

Okay this is the closest approximation I could find to what Zelaria would wear, and her body type (she's got good dex and con, not strength).

When she goes into full Varisian mode and can afford their legendary bling she'll probably look more like this.

Alright, since I think I'm the only one without a pic, I had to go look for one.

Rohan.

Oh and I looked up Clockwork Orange. That is one messed up movie.

Probably one of the more disturbing films I've ever seen. The indoctrination scenes still get to me sometimes!

Yea, I'm gonna have nightmares from just reading the wiki on it.

Might as well watch it now! It's a good film, but it takes a bit of maturity to put down. The main character is so intriguing.

Uh, no. But it is interesting I have to admit.

Yeah, its not for anyone young at all. But it is a must see if you are a film buff.

I first saw that movie when I was a tot. And then I watched it once every few years after, and then finally sat down and watched it at over 18. different movie every time.

Malcolm McDowell really enjoys the creep. Between that and Caligula... sheesh.

I've had a lot of debates with friends about how Light and Darkness work.

Rhasa WINS!!! Add 250xp Rhasa

Look at his IMDB...can you find any good guys in his resume?

Also I am headed to bed with no word from Noro. This means we are down to 6 and Ameiko just got another Dishwasher. Sorry Noro the rules are there for a reason....and then there were 6

Surprise Round

Here is the layout for the surprise round. I know you are all anxious to go do your thing in this whole endeavor, but let me show you how posted combat works for my game.

1. Surprise Round (Roll Init if you are not surprised)
2. Roll Initiatives
3. I will post all Initiatives for all combatants
4. You post in order of Initiative (This is the reason for daily posting)
5. Return to Step 3 and repeat Until Combat is finished.

I only roll once for initiative and add a full round action to the list of possible actions called "REFOCUS". Refocus lets you spend your turn waiting to act so you may act first on the following round. You Must Declare it on your turn though. No waiting to see what happens till the end of the round and then hopping in. Also, You will always know if you get to roll Initiative for the Surprise round because I will make sure you know like I did with Talon.

Ok Folks sorry for the quirky going but I know I am a quirky DM, but if you stick around I hope to make it worth your while.

Oh and Drake...your Character Pic was not quite the thing I was looking for so I slotted you one in the Combat layout. Tell me if you like it.

I was out all day yesterday and will be at afuneral today so I will have to get cuaght up later.

I a\may also be at my regular table game tonight depending on when the funeral is over.

posting this weekend is going to very low

Sorry to hear you didn't like the pic. I will endeavor to find a different one then. The one you slotted is too tribal for what I had in mind.

I am puking my guts out folks...not sure I will be able to post anything today I apologize.

putting out a plea to all to not drop Noro

I had to attend a function at Rider University for my son and by the time I got home all I could do was go to bed. after the 3 hour drive and the 4 hour long award ceremony outside in the heat.

then try and sleep with sunburn after that.

EDIT: I can refrain from posting in gameplay until I have approval.

I did have the intention of posting but after being out in that heat (when we were supposed to be inside) was very draining. (reason for not posting I was out).

Hope you feel better soon, Rysil. I'm sure your lady is treating you well in the mean time.

Hey guys, checking in. At lunch, on the road today, bout halfway there. Lots of RL today, get well Rysil. We want you here too Noro. By the way Rysil, the Rusty Dragon map is great. Driving again tomorrow for 4-5 hours.

RYSIL!

How's life treatin' ya Ryslil?

And don't say "he caught me in bed with his wife"

@Noro Sounds like a rough day! Hopefully we can get more input from Rysil on this one

Took me a few minutes to realize I had to click "download" to get the high res. image.

Anyway, so are we supposed to roll for initiative?

A humble suggestion, Rysil. Maybe you could just copy and save an initiative roller for the whole team, that you update when we level up. Just past and submit, and then go back and edit the post to reflect the rolled order. This way it saves an entire wave of rolls.

I'll take a minute and make it.

Very nice picture Adrien. :P

Talon that just isn't fair. Esme's crush on your character became much bigger. :P

I suppose this is how I view Esmeralda with blue eyes instead of brown.

Everyone loves cheese. :D

Just saw this, thanks!

PS I can't say Adrien has a crush on Esme yet... but I sure do.

Here it is, just click reply and it should break down all the coding.

Initiative Roller:
Adrien: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Esme: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Noro (just incase): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Rhasa: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Rohan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14(sheet says 5, i calculated 3)
Talon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Zelaria: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Monster 1: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Monster 2: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Monster 3: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Just an idea :)

Thanks for rolling. I get +2 to init from my trait, Hermean Paragon if was'nt clear.

@Adrien thanks for your support to stay in the game.

I am off to my Table top game

we call it "Mushroom Festival in Hell" belives it or not but in that game I am playing Lou (Noro's brother)

Just thought I would post to see how everyone is doing.

Hope to hear from the DM soon.
