Sic Semper Tyrannis! (Thrune's Hell's Rebels Revived) (Inactive)

Game Master GM Aarvid

I should add that, if her opponent falls to her latest attack, Lubella will take a 5ft step forward to flank with Felicia.

Arcos is the last one remaining to go this round.

Hope everyone had a Merry Birthmerica! Unless you're English, in which case, happy "Welp-we-screwed-the-pooch-on-that-one" Day!

Oh, yeah, maybe I should have clarified. There's nothing else in the chamber with the cesspool, but there's several passages leading away from here.

Crate 1 contains:

- a suit of masterwork leather armor (magical)
- a composite shortbow (+1 Str bonus)
- a masterwork hand crossbow
- a masterwork silver morningstar
- a cloak (magical)
- a pouch with a dozen pearls (Appraise check required)

Crate 2 contains the iron box, which is currently locked. You'll either need to find a key, or find some alternative method of opening it to find out what's inside.

Crate 3 contains six raven statuettes (magical).

Anything magical, of course, can be examined through detect magic or identify.

Lubella isn't interested in the weapons or armor. The only weapon other than a scimitar that would interest her is a regular crossbow. She has a chain shirt at the moment, so +1 leather would drop her AC.

She would be interested in a cloak.

Presumably we will sell the hand crossbow, unless someone feels like spending a feat for proficiency. I don't think anyone has enough strength for the bow, so that gets sold as well.

I could use the armor, but actually for the same stats we could sell it and my studded leather for Masterwork stuff and have gold left in the pot. I'm certain we don't wanna sell anything until we know for sure what it is.

Just realized I didn't give the game stats for the armor - as you've surmised, it's +1 leather armor.

whoops, lol. I forget a) that that has to be identified, and b) which campaign I'm in. Doesn't happen often, but occasionally i goof lol.

If other people have their hearts set on taking the dogs as pets/mascots, Lubella will go along with it, but she doesn't have the skills or contacts to pull it off herself.

The scrolls have the following spells: misdirection, pass without trace, undetectable alignment, and whispering wind.

Lubella can't use the pass without trace scroll, but she can use the other three.

I've created a Loot Spreadsheet using Google Sheets; anyone can edit it. I put the link in Lubella's header for easy access.

I gave the Composite Shortbow (+1 Str) to Arcos, since I think he's the only one who can use it. There's still the +1 Leather Armor, and a masterwork silver morningstar which are not being used. There's also 2 magic cloaks which haven't been identified yet (anyone with Detect Magic and Spellcraft can try once per day). Lubella doesn't have Spellcraft yet; she'll take a rank at 2nd lvl.

I would imagine we'll sell the masterwork hand crossbow (it's an exotic weapon, so I don't think anyone can use it.)

I am leaving for GenCon in a few hours, and will have limited access to the internet during that time. I will probably be back on Monday, August 22, assuming the eclipse does not portend the end of humanity's existence.

However, let me see if Rexus has any luck identifying either cloak the next day...

Cloak (possumfolk): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Cloak (secret cache): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Still no luck on the first one, but that second one is a cloak of elvenkind.

Have fun! I'm in Vancouver, BC, so it's a little far for me. I'm more likely to make it to PaizoCon one of these years.

OK, roll call - I'm back from GenCon, so who's ready to get this ball rolling again???

I'm here. Ready to search the Wasp's Nest!

I'm back!

Sorry all, I've been slammed with work and sick little ones and a bought of stomach blech myself. Finally back to feeling like normal!

Let's find someone to hurt or someone to heal!

Lubella isn't going to use her move action for anything. She could restart her Battle Dance, but she should be able to reach the alligator with a 5 ft step next round, leaving her move action free to restart it then.

"Battle Dance used" in my last post should be 4/7 - too late to edit now.

I'm sorry! My new job has been more demanding than I thought. I think I've settled a little now if you'll all forgive me and let me catch up!

Welcome back! Lubella could use some help with an angry bird!

I'll be out of the country and without internet access starting Sunday, October 8th. I'll return to the land of the interconnected living on Sunday, October 15. Between now and the 8th, I'll be very spotty as I get everything ready for the trip. In the interim, please feel free to bot me as needed!

See all y'all in a week or so!

I'm officially back and all that jazz now. Getting caught up on all my games here and elsewhere has proven very exhausting!

Lubella's housekeeping to-do list before moving on to the next part of the adventure:

-Hold a simple service for Nan. Nothing fancy, mostly for Laria's benefit really.
-Make arrangements for the bodies.
-Get the Wasp's Nest cleaned up and ready to be the Silver Raven's HQ.
-Sell some of the loot and do some shopping.

Lubella has no strong feelings on when Amalie should cast her spell on the corpse. Given the smell, she'd prefer not to wait too long, though.

Lubella is going to take a rank in Disable Device, if no-one else does. I don't want to be stuck every time we encounter a lock.

Also, I think we need to talk. It's basically been just me and Lubella pushing us through the Wasp's Nest (and at times, Lubella). Is everyone still committed to playing?

Sorry for the spotty attendance. I love the game and what were doing, but it's been difficult for me to get into Amalie' s head the way I may with other characters. I want to keep playing but I also don't want to be the one holding us back.

I realize I didn't check how we're doing HP. Can I do mine PFS style (1/2 +1)?

I'm good with people doing PFS rules (which is what I do in my homegames as well), or rolling, but must keep whatever they roll. Doesn't really matter for Amalie, since she rolled PFS standard. :)

I wonder if it's time to recruit a couple of more players? I'm really enjoying the game and would like to move forward.

I'll have an answer on Monday morning for you all.

Thanks for the update.

I've done my levelling but I don't have access to Hero Lab right now. I'll have the profile updated soon.

Thanks, Arcos!

So, I've not heard back from Felicia, and it doesn't look like she's posted on the boards in a few months. I think we should reopen recruitment to get some new blood in the game. Thoughts?

I agree, let's open a recruitment.

For the recruitment, I suggest starting gold of 150GP, and then a share of the treasure collected so far (which we haven't divided, other than the silver dagger).

Here are my thoughts on what type of PC would complement the current party members:

-Someone who is comfortable being in melee. Lubella won't be able to tie down all our melee opponents by herself.
-At least moderate damage output. We're on the low end of damage-dealing ability already, so the new recruit needs to be able to contribute.

We don't necessarily need a full martial (although that would be one possibility). There are many different classes that could work.

Nice to have, but not required IMHO:
-Trapfinding
-High strength

Currently, we have good coverage for healing and social skills, so those areas are not a priority.

Personality Requirements:
-Team player.
-Comfortable with overthrowing the legitimate government.
-Willing to take on House Thrune.

Some solid damage output would definitely be good.

Some solid damage output would definitely be good.

DM: Can we get an update on where we're at with the recruitment?

So, a mea culpa is in order.

I fully intended on creating that two weeks ago, but ironically for this particular game, life is Hell. The company I work for was bought out a month ago, and they're keeping me working from open to close. By the time I get off, I either have something going on that evening, or I have no interest in even looking at a computer screen.

HOWEVER! That's not fair to you guys. I finally created the recruitment post, with a closure date of 12/11. Once we have our fourth player, we can get back to the game.

Once again, I'm sorry for the delay of game. My energy levels have been low due to the work situation, and I need to kick myself in the ass to get this thing going again! :)

Wow, that sounds very draining! I hope your work situation settles down soon. Looking forward to bringing a new player on board.

Did Lubella learn anything about the boots from her Spellcraft check?

She did! They are a pair of daredevil boots.

How are we going to handle dividing treasure, especially magic items? Presumably Felicia would get a share.
