I am about!
I had managed to forget Micheo's bonus to hit equal to his Charisma modifier with smite.
You know what, Inconnu didn't hit but I'm happy that he was able to bottle up the hellhound without getting horribly injured. The main fight was grim enough without that infernal dwarf thing getting flanking bonuses.
Not that we're out of the frying pan yet, but I'm super relieved that worked out. I was already thinking about new character concepts.
Same feeling here, on all counts!
Yup! I was ready for a TPK. Very exciting encounter
Also: What kind of hammer did it use? Can Ulark wield it?
I think it was using a spiked chain.....and a Hammer .....
I Don't want it....
The chain weapon was actually the Forge Spurned's Soul Chain, which is actually part of its undead curse. Even if you could take it from him, you don't want it.
As for the hammer, it is an adamantine warhammer.
Don't tell me what I don't want! Give me all the dwarf weapons!
I could use that warhammer, leaving you with the non-Droskar items
For the record, Micheo wants nothing from the smith, even if no one else was interested.
I am very glad that Micheo made that check!
Note to self: put ranks into Heal when we next level up.
A pair of twisters damaged my local powergrid, so I might no be able to get on the boards again for a few days.
Good luck.
Durgan, sorry, I forgot you wanted the hammer. After this fight you can take it.
I was joking, I'm more than fine with the axe
In case anyone's grown tired of this dungeon, this will be the last battle with mooks before you face the kobold king and his shaman to rescue the last child. Just wanted to let you guys know that victory is within your grasp.
Even then I've been thinking OOC we should stop as we've burnt through a few resources but we have a child to save so that's a hard pill to swallow IC.
Yup, and IC triumphs
IC shall prevail!
Take him down!
If you don't I'll need to roll up a new character...
We'll do our best!
I’ve come to realize that a warhammer is a very subpar weapon for me. Anyone want to use the adamantine warhammer? If not we should probably sell it.
Plus, Ulark probably is more used to axes.

"Well then good news," the DM said in his best Prof. Farnsworth voice - the kobold king's weapon, Man-feller, is a magic battleaxe.
Nice! What’s the mechanics of it? :)
Can Ulark use it with two hands? If not, can Ulark take it to a Weapon smith and turn it into a halberd?
"Man-feller" is a +1 human bane battleaxe.
It is medium sized, as it is of dwarven make . The kobold king wielded it two-handed out of necessity, due to the size difference.
Ulark can wield it two handed to receive the extra strength bonus on damage, but it would not provide reach.
While it could be possible to reforge the weapon into a poleaxe of some kind, it would take a very skilled artisan to do so without ruining the enchantment upon the weapon - and such an artisan is not to be found in Falcon's Hollow.
Additionally, there are a few other magic items and treasures to be found among the two kobold leaders.
Nice! And thanks on the ruling for (eventually) making it into a polearm. A halberd doesn’t provide reach, but to me it seemed like a good way to show Ulark going from a humble logger to a skilled warrior.
Hi folks. A bad cold here, so Micheo will likely be the strong silent type until I get back. Feel free to bot him into the fray, it's his preferred position.
Nicely done!

Congrats and good luck on the job.
No worries on the posting. Take your time. We can bot you as needed. (I hope that didn't sound too rude).
Congratulations on the new job. :)
Merry Christmas/Happy Festivus/Happy Holidays everyone, I'll be out of town until the 26th or so.
All the best!
A few thing came up this weekend which was set to be quite busy as it was (including my car breaking down) so free time for PBP hasn't been in abundance. I will be posting tomorrow in all my games. Sorry for the delay.
I've added a town map link for Olfden at the top of the campaign page. Of course, the official map for the town does have a couple issues: they forgot to label landmarks, and they had even misspelled the town's name (I edited this out).
Good stuff!
Are we headed to Adamas, I can't recall the exact route we are taking. If the game was set in Southern Varisia I might be able to keep track but it's hard to visualize sometimes.

If it helps, there is a link for the regional map at the top of the page. I updated the map to include a marker showing the party's current location.
To all my games, two pieces of news:
1) I'm currently job hunting, though that is going well. That said, I might have less free time than usual.
2) I'll be at a gaming convention this weekend, so I'll likely be less active online.
Hopefully I'll be back to more regular posting again.
GM, out of curiosity, how far are we from level 3?

Actually, I was going to have you guys reach level 3 when you reach Adamas.
Since you're just about to reach the stronghold, go ahead and start the level up process. Congrats.
Huzzah!
Woo!
Lvl 3: Angelic Warrior Vigilante (see spoiler)
Basics
HP: +5 (sadness. Can I switch FCB from paladin to Vigilante?)
Saves: +2 Ref +2 Will
+6 Skills: 1 Perception 2 Diplomacy 1 Bluff 1 Intimidate 1 Sense Motive
+2 Background Skills: 1 linguistics 1 handle animal
BaB +1
Feat: Furious Focus
Social Talent
Social Grace: +4 Diplomacy
Ulark is a man of two minds. On one hand, he is a simple woodcutter. A resident of Falcon's Hollow, seeking to make his way in the world. On the other hand, he has the blood of angels flowing through his veins, blood which *demands* that he right the wrongs of the world and fight against evil.
* Identity 1: Ulark Bastardson (lawful good)
* Identity 2: Ulark the Avenger (neutral good)
Dual Identity
Unlike most vigilantes, Ulark does not attempt to keep who he is a secret. Rather, the angelic blood within him is merely a force that he fights against. Or gives into, as the case may be. Because he does not feel the need to hide, he does not need to take one minute to change identities, and does not need to do it in private.
* Bonus: Move action to change identities instead of standard action. This makes him take on the features of his angelic ancestor.
* Con: Ulark does not gain +20 disguise in social or vigilante identities (he doesn't care that people know that he is Ulark). He only gets the bonus using many guises
New Vigilante Talent: Eyes of Truth
* When in his vigilante form, Ulark has constant detect evil.
Angelic Warrior
* Ulark does not get Startling Appearance, Frightening Appearance, or Stunning Appearance. Instead he gets:
* Vigilante 5: When in his vigilante form, Ulark has the feat "angelic flesh-silver."
* Vigilante 11: When in his vigilante form, Ulark has the feat "angel wings."
* Vigilante 17: Whenever Ulark is in his vigilante form, he retains the benefit of Alter Self. This replaces Stunning Appearance.
5 it is, going Fighter for the heavy armor proficiency and the bonus feat. Picking up Raging Vitality and Furious Focus as my feats.
Ulark - Unfortunately, you cannot change your FCB between classes
+1 BAB
+1 Fort Save
Inspire Competence +2
Arcane Strike
+1 1st Level Spell Slot
Spells Known +1 Ghost Sound, +1 1st Unseen Servant
+1 Perform Oratory, +1 Linguistics (Infernal)
+1 Perception, +2 Stealth, +2 Escape Artist, +1 Use Magic Device, +1 Acrobatics
Ah well, a few Hp down is the price to pay for awesomeness.
