woo 4th. 2nd level spells will be my power boost.

I think sell all the weapons.

1 invis potion each is good.

If no one else cares about charisma then I would take the Eagle's Splendor potions :)

leveling up may take a little while for me. I have almost forgotten my advancement plans since this has taken so long. will begin work

I am giving you all a bonus skill point per level that must be spent on Knowledge(The Syndicate) to represent your growing insider information. It is a class skill for all of you and receives an INT bonus as per normal knowledge skills. You should all have 4 ranks as of now.

Normally that kind of info would be covered by know(local), so know(syndicate) I'm assuming is mostly easier DCs?

Finally done with the level up, sorry I have been dragging my feet. Well that and having the time, guy takes a while to upgrade. xD

Anyways going to figure out the loot value and then post.

Edit- Virgil you keeping all your loot or throwing it into the pot to be split?

The potions he never told anyone about and he took them, the rest of it, yes he adds it to the pot.

Alright here is the even split for Virgil, Pain, Alexander, and Froth.

Alexander wanted one of the potion of eagle's splendor, so you got that. Our loot should all be sold and accounted for now.

Level up, shop, and lets get rolling again. ;)

I've had a death in family, so I'll be travelling for a funeral this weekend. Feel free to control me as needed until I get back.

No problem. Sorry for your loss Froth.

is that including the reward for completing the mission?

Nope thanks for reminding me, totally spaced on that. 500 gp or 50 pp for each of us, whatever you prefer I tend to keep things in gp sense everything is based on that.

@Froth
My condolences, safe trip.

How much do potions and wands of 1st and 3rd level spells cost?
If we're going into a wizard's tower, I want dispell magic and/or lesser dispell magic

going on 9 days gameplay, 6 discussion...if this keeps up I might just quit...

I'm ready to go

I'm back; hope you weren't waiting on my account.

Level up:
Hitpoints: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Skill points +6
Fort +1
Reflexes +1
Will +1
Favoured Class: 1/2 Divine Trait

Bloodline Spells
Eschew Materials
Unnatural Bulk: Enlarge Person while Raging

Well seems my post was devoured for some reason. Will make another -.-

Regardless been here the whole time. Welcome back Froth.

The big thing I got this level was using my craft (clockwork) bonus for perception and disable device
5th is when I start getting the really good stuff

It seems like Pain's words are being mistaken for foolish and idle threats. He has yet to make any threat towards the syndicate and in fact has explicitly stated his loyalty to them, he is a bloodthirsty assassin, not a mindless murder-machine.

If I need to start making his dialogue clearer and easier to understand let me know, I do not wish for Pain to be mistook as a fool with a big sword.

To me he just comes off as young, which he is, and kind of over eager. That said, I can't stop you from assassinating whom ever you desire. I am trying to avoid the random encounter feel in this format, and just progress the story.

It seems we may have lost Alexander, A game he is DMing has gone dry as well.

I'm ready to proceed with the academy mission unless you guys have other things you want to do, or thoughts on if we should recruit another player.

Go ahead with the mission.

As for players, we have 4 left I presume? Me (Froth), Virgil, Rileng, and Pain? I am fine either way. This game has been moving very slowly, so some new blood could help get the momentum going, but it could also mean for a long break for recruiting. Really, I am fine either way.

If we get another person it should be a sort of "inside man" into the school
We could also invite specific people or persons.

I don't think we need to stop the game to recruit. Also does not hurt to put out some feelers before we try the recruitment thread. I am sure we all have multiple games, so does not hurt to ask around before hand.

We still going? I'll continue if people are still interested. Otherwise, I'm working on a pretty sweet idea for a different campaign.

Ah sorry, didn't see the gameplay post,
I'll post something as soon as I eat

Did we lose more people?

I'm unsure, as far as I know, we still have you and virgil. Alexander aka High on Holy water has been absent from the boards for several weeks. I think Froth and Pain are still around. but I'm not sure.

Uh do we have to knock off a level from our characters?

No. If whoever's still with us keeps their XP. I just want to add a new person or two to bring the numbers back up. No one responded yet anyways. I'll continue with you four for now gladly.

I can't find the stats for my race,
It might be sleep depravation or insanity

Since this game appears to be either dead, or running the risk of being abandoned at this point, anyone up for a stupidly insane frontal attack? You never know, it could be successful and revitalize some interest in this game; and if not, well it can kill it off in glorious fashion...

Malleus has recruited two of us, so assuming he still plans to work us in, a suicide rush might be a bad idea. =)

As I understood he is not available during weekends. This game takes its time to take off but oh well. Just need to wait for comment from DM as how we should start progressing then with this game

The game is still alive as far as I know, we just got two new people after all so I think it's just a slow weekend as normal.

Hey, that's great! I was just noticing that no one had posted in Gameplay or Discussion for about three weeks. Usually a game that lags that long is dead or dying, and so I was assuming that was the case here. Glad to know the game will be starting up again. keep me posted as to when everything is ready.

Yeah I would hope the DM get's the new guys in quick. 4th of July weekend is coming up and Americans will likely be out of touch.

I'll still be able to post just fine, though I am very much an American,

We'll try not to hold that against you.

I'm here! I have (my first) kidney stone, and was in the hospital last Thursday, the weekend was rough following. I will try to get us rolling.

Oh wow
Glad you're ok.
Also glad to get this game going

Sorry to hear that.

I'm travelling over the weekend, so I may not get a chance to post again until Monday, should anything be starting by then. Have a good weekend everybody.

Uh dm? You still having health issues or something?

No my workload and schedule got hella switched around and increased abruptly.

So unfortunately I will have to suspend my DM'ed games as I barely have the time or energy to keep up with my few once a day character posts.

Sorry that this didn't get off the ground. I will keep working on the concept and perhaps run it again in the future.

I enjoy playing with you guys and hope to again soon.

C'est la vie.

It was fun to play Froth again while the chance was there. See you around.
