[ooc]Smashed phone, overlong conference, crummy hotel with crappy (read horrid) internet and flights up and down the west coast later...here I am...
Sorry for the delay, wasnt expecting to be out of touch like that.
I want it noted I was worried about the timing on RD and you all shooshed me. LOL. I agree that GR might be the next best option...
Sadly it looks like we lost the bard. Full on possession of the elf with no return of his personality?
Since Kzrira is in my other big game other than the one we share I am fine with her putting out a call for players if we want to work with a known quantity.
There were two nights in the underground oasis and one at the base of the mountain after Kzrira's death. And then four or five nights for the return trip so we're heading into expiration date territory if raise dead has a min caster level of 9th.
Fortunately, Zayifid can help out with a gentle repose since she wouldn't make the trip to Katapesh in time. Originally, I had intended on the Alchemist providing some preservatives, but then you had to go and put him down.
Resurrection quest did sound intriguing though.
As for the new blood, I think maybe I'd like to be able to select from a couple different concepts rather than just advertise for someone to fill in the spot. Maybe I'll put up a recruiting thread with an invitation on Zyren's campfire.
Yeh, DMZZ usually has some decent players to select from, although it is been rather quiet recently with him doing a lot in RL it seems. I can also ask around in one or two other campaigns I am in where I know most of the players are good at roleplaying and regular posters.
Do we just want 1 player? Or 2? We have been doing pretty well with 4 so far and my understanding is that is how many the AP is actually designed for.

Regarding Kzrira, I could always create a new character. It will be sad to see her go, but I could find something to fill the gap. The real question is whether the Tempest Bow would stay a bow, or switch to something else - sword, rapier, etc. depending on what was chosen.
A staff!
Now, why would you need a staff? Can't you set up your own picnic blanket and prepare your own bedroll?
Oh, for 14th level and Mage's Magnificent Mansion! I would then have a full-time, semi-transparent staff!

Ah Tirion, if there's one thing I know about you, it's that you definitely love building and tinkering with characters. more than you like playing them perhaps ; ) maybe a new PC. what were you thinking? I do shudder to let you build from scratch however with your penchant for hot rod builds.
The Tempest Staff idea may not be a bad idea actually. I hope I'm not spoiling anything, but book 4 will really hose Karethas as a conjurer. Even more than the wish warp...
I've been thinking about it and trying to find some work arounds. One involved maybe a fancy familiar like a gen that could help with casting kinda like the daivrat prestige class. but a staff could help out as well.
What do you mean hot rod builds? You mean like Jez my tiefling fighter/oracle/sorcerer/dragon disciple?
Or Qui my grippli bard/monk/fighter/inquisitor?
um, yes. ; )
I had never heard of that prestige class...very interesting.
The reason I am so eager to get to 7th level is to change over to a familiar. I was thinking a Lyrakien azata.
here's the recruitment: link
pass it on.

Tiefling with a dragon/orc bloodline. *waves at Tirion to just get the f%@! out* LOL
I would rather see Kzrira back in that there is character investment and I honestly think Amir might go a bit sour if she remains permanently dead...but that might be fun for him to carry around from an RP POV so...
Tirion, make a healer.
put the damned thread in the wrong place.
It's here

I think that would be OK though I might like to re-skin it a bit to make it more genie-like possibly.
oh, and loot value to follow when I have some time to look them up.
1 Wand of Spiritual Weapon
3 Ornate Hookahs
Book of erotic poetry
Alabaster Jewelry box
broken urn
6 bottles of bitter wine
The dead body thinks that the bookworm bard should get the book of erotic poetry. It just has the makings of a bad 80's film of nerd learns about porn.
Jumping the gun a little here, but Adam Warnock and TarkXT have been around the site for a while and TarkXT has a character that has been in a campaign for a long enough to get 900 posts on him. I'm most concerned about getting someone who is going to stick around because I don't want to have to go through this again.
Glad to be chosen -- especially to join a long-term campaign (where I don't have to worry about yet another orphanned character after the first fight or two)
Welcome - I would do a more formal IC greeting, but as you are probably aware, am currently suffering from some minor medical issues.
Welcome! You would both likely attend story time at the Tower Market. Not all of the town, but a sizable part of the growing population will be there.
Varkata is quite likely to have heard of the foray against the Carrion King and might even have heard of Kzrira who has gained a regional reputation as a gnoll killer.
Nasir would possibly have been part of the delegation from Solku looking to restore the monastery outside of town though he won't have to be tied to it.
Sounds good to me.
actually it occurs to me that Kzrira would be very ruptured from a really big axe, but we'll assume she was bound and shrouded before being tossed in the sack.
Na, don't worry about me, not missing much - other than blood, part of my midsection, my head, and several internal organs. But hey, I still have my charming personality.
All we need is one finger and a level 7 druid? :)
Though you might be somewhat less pretty when it's done.
And with reincarnate I would end up as a half-elf. Which interestingly enough would really not change much of anything other than giving me low-light vision.
Reincarnation really isn't as much fun since they took critters out of the mix. I had an NPC wizard's apprentice that came back as a bear once. He was hell on the lab...
I'll give Amir and Karethas a chance to wrap up with Zayifid and then move on to the Big Shew!
You can always increase the list, there is this expanded list (lacking animals):

Or this one: You could be a monster reincarnation list.
Of course, I could end up with something that cannot use a bow, which might be an issue.
1. Welcome Varkata and Nasir
2. I am hoping Amir would be smart enough to bind her before putting her in the bag, having a sense he needed her pieces. But he was distraught.:p
3. I think we should do everything in our power to see that Kzrira comes back as something that is not a person for...reasons...mostly my own amusement.
4. Who cares if she comes back not as a bow wielder? Tempest will turn into a bridle, a saddle, claw caps maybe? You may not be very good with what it becomes but evidence suggests it is very flexible.
A bridle or saddle? Do we really want to go there old man?
The last thing I recall you yelling was this.
--> pretty sure that was Karethas laughing at the end too
They don't call me "Brave" Amir for nothin. I'm a rogue first fighter second. Running away is what tiggers...er I mean...rogues...do best!
Hmmm, I think they wrote a song about your bravery.
I'm not sure how familiar our newcomers are with the AP, but this seemed a nice way to give a quick recap of the story so far. Feel free to step into the story to place yourselves or give your perceptions.
I am away with the family for the weekend. I might have time to type a Faelar entry tomorrow, but cannot guaranty I will. I should be able to post each day, but not anywhere as much as usual.
I might have time to type a Faelar entry tomorrow, but cannot guaranty I will.
I've got Faelar covered. Don't worry about it.
I'm also visiting family which is why I haven't posted in the last few days. Sorry, I will pipe in where appropriate.
Easter weekend and all -- I'll be a mite less active than usual myself ;)
yeah, I figured it'd be slow over a holiday weekend.
If no one has anything I'll just push on with the Bard's Tale. There will likely be a quick audience with Almah afterwards and then we can get on with the caravan to Katapesh City where everyone will be introduced.
Despite assurances otherwise, it does in fact appear that Amir is a thief seeing as both the scroll and bow were in Karethas' possession, but now appear claimed by the rogue.
It is clear that he is working the edges of the descriptions to try to get all the loot in his possession. He's such a sneaky bastard!
When(If) Kzrira wakes up and his old paws are on her bow, she is going to freeze his a$$.
No no, rogue. It doesn't matter that I don't have them in my possession because I am confident I can get them back from the wizard. This is merely confidence in leadership. Nothing to see here. Ignore me!
From the loot list, we have one wand of CLW with 15 charges. Should I sell a couple of MW weapons from the list and use some cash to buy a new one?
Healing is not really going to help me.
You know, you complain a lot for a corpse. I'm starting to wonder if we need to stake you. ;)
Better watch out or a possessed bow might start firing icicles at you after it finishes with the thief.
Thank you for the productive responses :-P
