Second Darkness: Quest of the Shin'Rakorath

Game Master Kybryn

Okay, check "Campaign info" for GG maps and basic room descriptions. If anything in there is included that seems like "Meta Knowledge", just assume that Kwava or one of the other employees would tell you.

Like the secret doors. :) Nice maps. And its a darn big place. Very cool. Den is playing guard and lookout until needed. When we get moving he will go first and use survival to check for tracks.

I cleaned it up quite a bit, but taking care of the "S"'s was just going to be too much for me, so I left them as is :)

Nothing that will really affect what's going on.

BTW, have you guys seen the new "lantern bearer" PRC in "Paths of Prestige"? Cool stuff!

I have not. I am now officially 3 books behind as I have not laid hand or eye on the race or equipment guide yet either.

I did Drider, but it requires you to have a good alignment. So it doesn't really work for me. Actually Den, you might want to take a look. It would fit your character Very easily. It includes a favored enemy in elves, bonus damage to bows, bonus feats, useful spells and 2 good saves and a full bab

Checked out. It is nice. My int is a 12 too, so I could benefit from it.

Quiet as a temple mouse...

My friend just picked up the equipment guide and it's pretty spiffy. Is the race guide a good buy? I'm waffling on which one I should pick up next.

Hmmm, I'd say it's not crucial. I think that using d20pfsrd to create characters is sufficient.

Blood of Angels is awesome, and Paths of Prestige is sweet too.

Yeah, I had a subscription to the Pathfinder Companion series - the tiefling books is pretty great, too. :D

Okay, some big announcements!

1. You've all leveled up to level 4. Congratulations!

2. Talia has officially left the combat party, and will no longer be accompanying you unless you ask for a specific reason.

3. Morphelius and Thallan, I am sorry for the delay, as things have taken a few turns that I had not expected. That's what I get for homebrewing this :)

Here's the plan, I'll be introducing you both into the game if both of you are still committed 100%. One of you will have the flexibility to be a bit more combat oriented, while the other can be a bit more healing oriented. I'll let the two of you sort out any small changes you want to make. Additionally, you'll both be coming in at lvl 4, so go ahead and level up. I will be PMing you some time this week with how I see you getting integrated into the story line.

Yay! Congrats all on the level! I'll make my changes tommrow.

I'll take a stab at the lock tommrow with a good post. In the mean time I have been up for almost 18 hours and I am beat. I won't be able to post until after work, so its going to be a bit.

No worries. RL ish comes first.

Had connection troubles with Paizo all day yesterday. Back now!

Edit: Just noticed that we've "dinged!" Won't be able to level up until probably tomorrow (I'm at work right now.)

Roll for new hit points as per recruitment 1d8 ⇒ 4

you goin rogue 4 Vhal?

1d6 ⇒ 2

I am, then at level five I'll be switching over to a Fighter. My character has been updated.

Think I'm all leveled up as well. Hopefully I can find a magic shop after this- still a few other spells I'd like in my book, not to mention a blasty wand.

Also, maybe I could take wand of magic missile, scroll of enlarge person, and everburning torch from Talia?

Hit Points: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Woot!

Nice roll Den!

Ziyad,

I'm sure Talia would be happy to give up a few things, even let you copy any spells she has into your book.

ALso, as for the magic shop, my suggestion to you is to spend some time looking for a shop. I'm happy to run a sideline with you in a spoiler of you looking around town for a magic shop, or asking questions etc.

Vhalas, sounds good! I must admit, I miss the old avatar :), it had more of an edge to it.

Spoiler search sounds good, when we have down time. And yeah, copying Talia's SB would be awesome, but she didn't indicate on the sheet whats there unfortunately.

Vhalas, sounds good! I must admit, I miss the old avatar :), it had more of an edge to it.

Yea, but this one has a eye-patch! In all seriousness, I'm considering switching back.

Funny thing is, that image comes from Second Darkness I think. If we get that far, your interactions with that guy will play a very important roll in determining your fate.

Been studying for a chem test so I haven't had much time. Post will be up tomorrow for sure. Wanted to check in and let you guys know I'm around!

Hit point roll

1d8 ⇒ 8

Niiiiice. Haven't fully updated my character yet. It's also been a busy week for me - weekend looks a bit better!

A reminder as well, on October 12th I set sail on my belated honeymoon - and will be incommunicado for two weeks. Assume Wasp is being alternately flirty and frightening at that time.

Hey Wasp! Nice roll.

Level up, you say... Cleric, of course. Thallan is effective, but not a melee Cleric. The build just doesn't support it, it's a crafter build.

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 8, Whoa... a moment of inspiration.

Entering the game @ level 4, do we get 6,000 gp gear (originally 3,000)?

GO ahead and upgrade your gear.

Hey guys, I'm going out of town for the weekend with my wife, I should have Internet on my phone but in case I lose it, I wanted you to know about my absence.

Okay, my character is fully updated:

Highlights:
+9 HP
+1 Charisma
Bluff +1
Diplomacy +1
Intimidate +1
Knowledge (Religion) +1
Perception +1
Profession (Courtesan) +1
Ride +1
Sense Motive +1
Level 2 Magic!
- Confess
- Hold Person

going to try the old avatar for a bit. btw Was[, I am digging the Hold Person. That can end things real quick.

Hey guys, just checking in. Will have an update tomorrow. I had previously thought to run this scenario by room, but to shoot us forward into the action, I'll go ahead and run it as you guys have taken it. FYI to the newbies, sorry I haven't contacted you with your transitions in. I'll get on that.

PS the rest of you, you need to rest.

I am digging the Hold Person. That can end things real quick.

I know! :D

Think I'm all updated, just mundane gear left. I can wait, no worries.

Alright, working on a post.

Thallan, will be sending you instructions... (SENT)

Entering the game @ level 4, do we get 6,000 gp gear (originally 3,000)?

You come in with the GP value of a 4th level character, plus what you'll find in the message I sent you.

Ziyad? Den?

Where we at guys?

Let's get this ball rolling!

I am here, waiting for some action. Wait, is the game thread header not showing new posts again ? Let me check.

I've been checking daily still, just kind of unsure what I can add at the moment.

Site was down for me yesterday! Sorry, had intended to post then!

Drider, how would you feel about me picking up the Scout archetype? It would allow me to Sneak Attack during a charge. I think it would dovetail nicely with me going fighter next level.

Yah I think that's fine. What, it replaces trap sense? I dont' think you've even used it.

Hmm, where are we at as far as gold per person right now?

+Gems from first post
+Loot from barb fight
+Loot from boneyard fight
+Loot from Gold Goblin search
minus horses

What else?

Careful counting the loot from the search. Kwava has not given to the party. He's only suggested one use for it.

Ok, so it seems to be about 1000 gold then. 850 gems (split 5 ways) + junk from fights.

Den has his cut from the gems. He bought his horse with them.

Yea Ziyad, I have been kinda keeping an account its upto about 1100gp per person.

Okay.

It looks like we're about to do some dungeony crawling - and so I think this is a good point for me to temporarily move into "NPC back at the Goblin" mode.

As previously mentioned, I'm headed out on my honeymoon this week - and will be gone until the end of October. The reason I'm bowing out now is to avoid having to cut out in the middle of something important down in the tunnels.

So, yeah. I'm not planning to up and abandon the game - I'll be back in a few weeks and hope to jump right back into things. :D

As for what Wasp will default to doing - assume that she'll continue doing her information gathering magic around town while the others are delving, and flirting with Vhalas whenever the occasion arises.
