The Beast & the Harlot: Dragoncat's Curse of the Crimson Throne (Inactive)

Game Master Dragoncat

Current Date: Oathday, 30th of Pharast, 4711 AR

Current Chapter: Escape from Old Korvosa

One would think that having ended the Urgathoan threat to the city, our heroes would be granted more time to rest. But alas, that is not the case. For Queen Ileosa herself has condemned Old Korvosa to a slow death, and is forcing the Korvosan Guard and Sable Company out in favour of a military force loyal to her alone--her Grey Maidens.

She must be removed from the throne, and the man who has the authority to unite the Peerage in doing so is trapped somewhere in Old Korvosa.

Ortik & Lyla are up.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Now Karri's up!


Dwarven Druid (Urban) 8 - HP: 71/73 - AC 17/T:11/FF:16 Fort: +10, Reflex: +5, Will: +11; Perception: +9

On a completely unrelated note, one of the Half Price Books in town had a bunch of old Pathfinder AP books in stock. Someone had clearly dumped their collection. I managed to pick up most of Runelords (Issue #1 wasn't with them), most of Second Darkness (missing books 4 and 6)...and the entirety of Crimson Throne.

So, at last, I have this AP in hardcopy. And I can't even begin to tell you how badly I want to read it. But I don't want to spoil the surprises in store, DM, so I am exhibiting some uncharacteristic self-control, and have not read a single page of any of them.

Curse my good fortune!!!

You need a copy of Runelords 1? I only have 1 & 2, so it does nothing but collect dust ;) send me a PM with an address and I will send it to you. No cost, just 'cause :)

Oh, feel free to read through Edge of Anarchy when we're done. I don't mind--in fact, I'd love for you to see for yourself just how far off-book we've gone from it. :)


Dwarven Druid (Urban) 8 - HP: 71/73 - AC 17/T:11/FF:16 Fort: +10, Reflex: +5, Will: +11; Perception: +9

I would be ecstatic, Karri. I owe you big! :D

Hey guys,

I'm an Assistant Principal at an elementary school. Currently we are in a contest to gather votes for a video we made. I'd like your support if you feel comfortable clicking on a link. All you have to do is click Vote Now, you don't have to watch the video. I appreciate your help!

Y'know, Ortik, I'm reminded of a saying: "Do not tempt fate, for it is fickle and has poor impulse control."

XD


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Also, I'd just like to point out that I DID give you guys a potion of Enlarge Person...


Female Human Sorceror (Tattooed) 6 / Black Fire Adept 1 | HP 44 | AC 14 FF 12 T14 | Saves +6/+6/+8 | Init +6 (+10) | Percep +2

Moving the chatter over here :)

So, if Mr Wizard is CMB'n to rid himself of the Stirge, what spells is he casting? *wink* It gets really ugly when you can bring forth a veritable swarm! Summon III to get d4+1, AND Superior Summoning (total of d4+2!) for that last delicious, "What CON?" effect :D Unless you can think of many characters that can handle four CON damage (or so) a round... :)

But the next question is: can a Neutral Aligned Sorc (such as I) summon a L/G Lantern Archon? How about with the Sacred Summons Feat (oh my!) and at least one level of Blackfire Adept so she *poses* as an Evil Aura for that Sacred Summons... That would be so cool--dark lanterns throwing baleful beams of green malice! :D


Male Slayer 8| AC 22 T 17 FF 16 | HP 73 | F +9 R +10 W +5 | Init +3 | Perc +11

I'm pretty sure that cannot happen....since your "aura" would essentially be NE so then the only creatures effected by Sacred Summons would be those that have only the EVIL subtype. There aren't that many of those on the SM list.


Female Human Sorceror (Tattooed) 6 / Black Fire Adept 1 | HP 44 | AC 14 FF 12 T14 | Saves +6/+6/+8 | Init +6 (+10) | Percep +2

Aye, I think so too... :(


Male Slayer 8| AC 22 T 17 FF 16 | HP 73 | F +9 R +10 W +5 | Init +3 | Perc +11

Karri should be CN...then with Blackfire Adept her aura would be CE and she could summon Demons. OFC the local paladinry might smite her repeatedly...


Female Human Sorceror (Tattooed) 6 / Black Fire Adept 1 | HP 44 | AC 14 FF 12 T14 | Saves +6/+6/+8 | Init +6 (+10) | Percep +2

You have a point. When I wrote down her alignment there was no real motive for Neutral, other than to express her fight to offset the Legion.


Male Slayer 8| AC 22 T 17 FF 16 | HP 73 | F +9 R +10 W +5 | Init +3 | Perc +11

I see the CN alignment as a fight against the Evil of Legion, versus a fight against the chaos.

Karri doesn't want to hurt people for pleasure...that is a "good" action. It balances out the evil urges that Legion sends her...


Dwarven Druid (Urban) 8 - HP: 71/73 - AC 17/T:11/FF:16 Fort: +10, Reflex: +5, Will: +11; Perception: +9

I don't think there's many paladins in Korvosa. More than in Kaer Maga, certainly, but still, probably not a whole lot.

The Hellknights, though, would be glad to squash the demon incursion beneath their jackboots.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Karri hasn't taken an action yet.

Also, I'd just like to remind you that the last time you turned your back on Karralo, he ran like hell and escaped into the city...


Halfling Alchemist 7/Swashbuckler 1 / HP 56 of 56 / F+6 R+13 W+2 / AC 21.17.15 (-1 AC vs. same size or smaller)/ Init. +3 / Perc +14

That one is on Quiet Jakob!


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

I know. :)


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Karri still has an action. Her eagle has gone, but she herself hasn't.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Note to self: don't try to break Nalun with scary images of his girlfriend.

It will inspire him to crit the next round, penalties be damned. ;)


Chelish Inquisitor 8 - HP: 67/67 - AC 24, T:13, FF:21 Fort: +10, Reflex: + 5, Will: +10 Perception: +15 (Effects:)

Yep.


Male Slayer 8| AC 22 T 17 FF 16 | HP 73 | F +9 R +10 W +5 | Init +3 | Perc +11

GM, can I edit Nalun's sheet the next time we level up.

I went nearly that entire fight and never used

Slowing Strike* (Ex): An opponent damaged by the
slayer’s sneak attack has its speed is halved for 1d4
rounds. A successful Fortitude saving throw negates
this effect (DC = 10 + 1/2 of the slayer’s level + the slayer’s
Intelligence modifier). Against creatures with multiple
types of movement, you must choose which movement
type to affect. If you affect a creature’s f light movement
while it’s airborne, it must succeed at a DC 10 Fly check
to remain airborne; regardless, its maneuverability
is reduced by one step. If you target a creature already
affected by this ability, its speed and maneuverability are
not further reduced; you may either extend the duration
by 1d4 rounds or choose another movement type to affect.

I'd like to switch it for something with a static effect....that I don't always have to remember to apply.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Sure. Go ahead.


Male Slayer 8| AC 22 T 17 FF 16 | HP 73 | F +9 R +10 W +5 | Init +3 | Perc +11

Whenever we level up I'll do it...probably take a ranger style or trapfinding. Something that is always active that I don't have to remember to apply.


Halfling Alchemist 7/Swashbuckler 1 / HP 56 of 56 / F+6 R+13 W+2 / AC 21.17.15 (-1 AC vs. same size or smaller)/ Init. +3 / Perc +14

Folks, I just want to apologize for the slow posting, but I've been juggling my day job with some freelance writing and cartography for Paizo and Legendary Games, so I'm currently kinda burnt out. Things should be back to normal in a couple of weeks, but until then I'll probably be a little erratic in my posts.

Just so you know, I'm not dropping out and I love this campaign. :)


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

No problem. I'll bot you until you have a chance to get back to a decent posting rate. Thanks for letting me know.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Well, THIS turned into a curb-stomp...


Female Human Sorceror (Tattooed) 6 / Black Fire Adept 1 | HP 44 | AC 14 FF 12 T14 | Saves +6/+6/+8 | Init +6 (+10) | Percep +2

It's da dice man...


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Yep.

Well, at least Vreeg put up more of a fight.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

This is going out to all the games I'm running:

I may be unavailable to post for a few days. My laptop (where I keep all my adventure notes) is in dire need of a new battery, so I'm going to take it in to be serviced on Tuesday. I have all the important PDFs and stuff on a jumpdrive, so I'll be able to keep track of the campaign. Until I post otherwise, my pacing is likely going to be interrupted.


Chelish Inquisitor 8 - HP: 67/67 - AC 24, T:13, FF:21 Fort: +10, Reflex: + 5, Will: +10 Perception: +15 (Effects:)

Duly noted. Thanks for the heads up.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

An update!

I had to take my laptop in today for servicing--schedule problems prevented me from getting a ride out to fix it. I'll be getting us back on track tomorrow, when I get my laptop back. :)


1 person marked this as a favorite.
GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

And I'm back! Thanks everyone for being patient with me! :)


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Just waiting to see if anyone else would like to chime in...


Female Human Sorceror (Tattooed) 6 / Black Fire Adept 1 | HP 44 | AC 14 FF 12 T14 | Saves +6/+6/+8 | Init +6 (+10) | Percep +2

I don't think Karri has anything significant to add to the conversation :)


Halfling Alchemist 7/Swashbuckler 1 / HP 56 of 56 / F+6 R+13 W+2 / AC 21.17.15 (-1 AC vs. same size or smaller)/ Init. +3 / Perc +14

Back!

I wanna level up!


Chelish Inquisitor 8 - HP: 67/67 - AC 24, T:13, FF:21 Fort: +10, Reflex: + 5, Will: +10 Perception: +15 (Effects:)

Welcome back.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Patience, Lyla...

It'll happen soon. :)


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

I'll get a post up to move us along in the morning.


Chelish Inquisitor 8 - HP: 67/67 - AC 24, T:13, FF:21 Fort: +10, Reflex: + 5, Will: +10 Perception: +15 (Effects:)

Sweet.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Here's hoping everyone's having a happy and safe Easter! :)


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to Level 4. :)


Halfling Alchemist 7/Swashbuckler 1 / HP 56 of 56 / F+6 R+13 W+2 / AC 21.17.15 (-1 AC vs. same size or smaller)/ Init. +3 / Perc +14

Done!

Also, if it is ok, I'll make Spellcraft checks here to add new formulas to Lyla's spellbook, now that she has access to 2nd level extracts.

Copying blur from the scroll she's been carrying around for ages. Spellcraft DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Copying false life from Vreeg's spellbook. Spellcraft DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Nice! The whole process takes 4 hours (2 hours per spell), so I'll add them to the formula book once we have some downtime, ok?

[EDIT] I chose average hit points.


GM Who Must Be Feared & Obeyed (Or At Least Bribed With Cookies)

Certainly.


Male Slayer 8| AC 22 T 17 FF 16 | HP 73 | F +9 R +10 W +5 | Init +3 | Perc +11

HP: 1d10 + 1 + 1 + 26 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + 26 = 33 New HP total.

By the way, Lyla...any reason you're not taking 10 on those Spellcraft rolls? :)


Dwarven Druid (Urban) 8 - HP: 71/73 - AC 17/T:11/FF:16 Fort: +10, Reflex: +5, Will: +11; Perception: +9

(Also, I just realized I was cheating in that battle with the derro. Urban Druids spon cast for domain spells, not nature's ally. I am a stupidhead.)

lol been there ;)

For Karri's level up, she is going to drop Mount in favor of Magic Missile, and take both Read Magic (to discover secrets) and Summon Monster II. Full update in her profile later :)
