RoW: Let's Thaw the Frozen Stars! (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

Does that include the grabbing of weapons?

Sure. Unless you have a specific reason I'm assuming you're still fully geared.

Ah. The narrative sounded like it was the middle of the night. I suppose the armor thing is only a major concern for a few of us.

Sven's got a spiffy sexy new avatar!

Oh?

Didn't know Paizo updated their avatar selection.

They do every once in a while.

Hmm, that's going to take some getting used to.

It's 10x closer to what I had pictured for Sven. That dwarf I'd been using was the closest thing I could find previously.

Also, Vikings.

And a smoldering, steely glare, lest we forget.

*smolder*

Ankih? Lana? What's up with you slackers?

Don't make me smolder at you.

Indeed, it would be nice to get things moving, if you folks wouldn't mind updating, ir ketting me know if botting is appropriate.

Apologies.

No worries. Also, typing while walking is hard. Meant to type. "...or letting me know..."

Anyone heard anything from Ankih?

He hasn't posted to any of his games in a little over a week.

His computer went Tango-Uniform. No idea when he will be back on.

Forgive me if I am unavailable for a day or so. Lost a family member this morning.

Very sorry to hear it, take all the time you need.

Yes, please take what time you need.

I am on a work trip, but generally I seem to end up updating more frequently when I'm on them, just not today (it's already 1 am and I got here 30 min. ago, maybe tomorrow.)

Sorry folks, lost my computer and then my internet. Got net back today, will be a little while to get new comp. money's a little tight til income tax refund.can post from my phone but can't access maps n such very well.

Planning to do a little shopping for Kalt. At a minimum, I'd like to buy:

40 cold iron arrows (finally!)
Upgrade to +1 for his MW buckler – though I’m not sure the village can provide this, since it’s value is over 500 gp – just in case: 75% or less?: 1d100 ⇒ 65

That leaves me with about 3700 gp to spend - any thoughts on useful stuff, anyone?

How are we on wandage? If we're low we should try to pick up a fresh one. Who has them?

How about climbing gear? There are no known ground entrances to the statues; the centaurs estimate the height of each statue at about half a mile. Half a mile of nearly vertical ascent, although (being quadrapeds) they've never tried to climb so they don't know how difficult it is. They'll tell you all of this while you are shopping.

They'll also tell you that they've seen glowing lights, both on the heads of the statues, and sometimes along the body. Sometimes, the lights move.

Speaking of quadrapeds, what of Greta? No hands, ~450 lbs, half a mile climb to the top of the statues. There is a notable technical climbing challenge involved, to say the least.

Oh, I was unaware of the severity of the climb. How's our centaur guide doing it? Even with hands that climb would be super difficult for her. We'll definitely pick up some climbing kits.

Shanya can you prep a couple extracts of alter self? We could save them for especially difficult 'scrambles'.

I have extracts of fly that I can prepare.

That works too. =)

I'll wait to move the scene along a little bit in case there are any unresolved RP elements (*cough* Sven/Avora/Greta *cough*). Otherwise, Artrosa ho!

Backstory question for Ankih: was there a particular vision for the pale-white woman Ankih is after, or was it primarily constructed in your backstory primarily as a dangling plot hook for the DM? I have included some elements of that story already, but they were perhaps a bit subtle and open ended - I certainly haven't fleshed out all the details yet.

Avora can wildshape, Ankih can prepare fly twice... so if Shanya can prep... three? (four?) extracts of it, we should be good.

We could always pick up a scroll or two if needed.

Just open plot hooks, mostly just to keep him interested in moving forward. To the great white! XD

I think we've had enough relationship drama for now. Unless Greta is set on demanding commitment at this moment too, let's save it for our next near-death experience. It's not like wolves mate for life or something.

*departs to check his nature facts*

Yep, Shanya's got one more extract slot for fly.

And you've got yourself in one helluva predicament, Sven. :)

Ankih can also prepare levitate a well as fly. The flying ones can guide the levitating ones.

Rango - any word on whether I was able to get my buckler upgraded? It seems to be above what the village might offer, and might be a bit silly to have everyone pause in our quest while my shield gets magicked, so I'll understand if it doesn't work.

Other than that, Kalt will pick up couple of oils of bless weapon, and his cold iron arrows.

Did we decide we don't need to buy climbing kits then?

Sorry, it's 75% for under 500 gp - mostly scrolls, potions and things.

Lets see what they do have:

2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 minor items
6d100 ⇒ (41, 95, 99, 79, 72, 73) = 459 - no weapons or armor; they have a potion, 3 scrolls, two wondrous. Note these are "uncommon" potions and scrolls - they're much more likely to have any common potion or scrolls, and up to 4th level scrolls/3rd level potions if it is druid, or 2nd level scrolls/potions if it is ranger.

potion 1d100 ⇒ 2 - 1st
scroll 1d100 ⇒ 8 - 1st
scroll 1d100 ⇒ 71 - 2nd
scroll 1d100 ⇒ 4 - 0th
wondrous 1d100 ⇒ 58 - shoulders
wondrous 1d100 ⇒ 99 - slotless

potion 1d100 ⇒ 67 - magic stone (1st)
scroll 1d100 ⇒ 90 - sun metal (1st)
scroll 1d100 ⇒ 54 - hypnotic pattern (2nd)
scroll 1d100 ⇒ 28 - detect poison (0th)
wondrous 1d100 ⇒ 3 - Cloak of resistance +2
wondrous 1d100 ⇒ 35 - Elixir of dragon breath

So no oils of bless weapon? =(

Ummm, let's see:

1d100 ⇒ 27

Yes, they have oils of bless weapons. Those fall well under the 500 gp limit.

Even if they don't have the item you are looking for, you could have it sent for (as long as it isn't too exotic). It would just be a matter of days, and of course you would need a way to get it from here to Artrosa. If you could arrange for an animal messenger to send for a request, and you could have a centaur courier it to the base of the statues for a price - say 70 gp for each 100 lbs of gear via centaur express, and it will take 7 days to reach you (3 to get from Vurnirn to Korak Kaags camp, 4 to get to Artrosa). Vurnirn is the largest city in the Hoofwood (although it probably doesn't look much like one) with a limit of ~2000 gp for items readily available. It can handle basic magic weapons, armor, and protective enchantments.

Have you considered taking the "additional traits" feat from the APG at level 9? You get two traits from the feat, and you could use one to take magical knack for one of your classes. You then get a second trait, something fun or useful (probably combat, faith, or social trait)

I make the suggestion as the "magical knack" trait is quite good for a theurge, helping both with your damaging spells and those pesky caster level checks. Just a thought :)

I'm going to be putting on CoastCon (I head up the gaming area) next week, so please excuse me as necessary if I am slow to respond for the next week. I will be completely out of touch March 19-22, but should be back to normal after that (for a short time, at least; GenCon is coming). Until next Wednesday, I should be able to post daily (and will attempt to do so). If you are in one of my games, please be patient. If I am in one of yours and slowing things up, please bot me as necessary to keep things moving.

So one vote for for fighting the ettin, one vote for "we're on a righteous quest." Choose one?

On another note, I am on vacation with my folks, headed out to the Northern Californian coast with uncertain internet connectivity. I may not be available to move the story along until Sunday-Monday.

I'm in favor of talking our way past it if possible, just not sure what the best line to feed it is.

And Rango, enjoy your time in my neck of the woods! How far north you going? My older son (who you've met) is backpacking up near Eureka at the moment.

This is just a heads up that I'll be leaving tomorrow morning on a backpacking trip and won't be back until next Wednesday or Thursday. Please feel free to NPC Lana in the interim.

I am in Fort Bragg, right now. No hiking, but I've been trying to walk at least 5 miles a day along the beach bicycle path here to at least partially counteract the frightening amounts of food being proffered to me here :)

Lovely place, hope you enjoyed the trip!

Ok, did I miss questions from anyone else? Ready to move on now?

Yeah, ready to move on.

Movin' on.

Good to go.

Moving on.
