The Dying City: DM Norv's "Curse of the Crimson Throne"

Game Master The Norv

The classic story of intrigue, magic, and strife in Korvosa, and of five figures caught in the balance of greater forces than they know.

Current Date: Starday, 10th of Lamashan, 4708

Current Map | Flex Time | Loot Tracker | Floorplan for the Rosa in Fiore

Harrow Points and Uses:

Current Harrow Points:
Callie: 3
Korriban: 2
Lantressa: 4
Matoska: 2
Teodor: 3

Flash of Insight: You can spend a Harrow point to attempt a skill check that normally requires training for a skill in which you have no ranks. You gain a one-time +5 bonus to that skill check.

Intelligence Rerolls: You can spend a Harrow point to reroll any one Intelligence-based check. You must abide by the new result, even if it's lower (but you can spend more Harrow points to reroll again if you want to).

Focused Thought: You can reattempt a Knowledge check that you have previously failed. On this attempt, you gain a +10 bonus on the check.

Well, since no one's claiming anything, I guess I'll give the crossbow and bolts to Imperia since she's the only other party member who uses a crossbow. Also, I'll hold onto the loot from the strongbox until there's a lull where we can sort everything out. What are the weights of each item, Norv?

EDIT: Nevermind, apparantly hand crossbows are exotic weapons. So I'll hold onto that and hand Imperia the bolts.

Re-posting this in every game I'm in, since server rollback destroyed my last post:

Due to family issues, health concerns (just a touch of the flu, but still), and a terrible crisis at work all of my time is taken, and I won't be able to consistently be present here on the boards and play.

I'll try my best to write something whenever possible, but at the very least till the 28, when a work deadline I can't possible afford to miss is set, my presence here will be sporadic at best.

I'm deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and I give every GM permission to bot my characters any way the see fit, if the need arises.

Thank you guys, sorry again, and happy gaming! ^_^

Norv, looks like our posts from yesterday were deleted due to the crash. Can you repost?


Male

Will do once I have time; at work (and no computer) all day today.


Male

As I said in my vanished post yesterday, I've had a rough couple of days with long days at work, this website crashing, and, most crucially, my laptop dying on me. So I apologize for being a bit AWOL these past few days! I'm back now and hopefully we can get back into the swing of things.

Let me know if there's anything I have to respond to that I missed!

I need the weight of everything I found in the strongbox.

I also need your opinion on skinning animals. I posted some links on a post on page 5.

Woo, sorry for the disappearance, I've been avoiding Paizo with all its technical difficulties as of late!


Male

@Imperia: Just saw your post here, and I hope things start looking up for you! Also, damn, Imperia is a STONE COLD KILLER when it comes to Celia. O.o

@Raina: No worries, things have been crazy here, too!

@Korriban: I'm gonna go with Jacobs on the skinning question: it's a Survival check to skin Gobbleguts, DC 17 if you want to get a usable skin out of it.

As far as weight goes:

Cigar case--0.5 lb
Gold ingot--2 lbs
Tiara--1 lb
Kraken statuette--0.5 lb
Succubi statuette--0.5 lb
Shuriken--0.1 lb
Crystal Vial--0.3 lb

All else is negligible, as far as encumbrance goes.


Male

Hey all, just an update: posting may continue to be a bit sporadic on my end, as it's looking like I need to buy a new computer. Thanks for understanding...and welcome to the REAL Curse of the Crimson Throne. ;)


Male

Hmmmm...no rule of two yet, since responses have been "go to Rosa in Fiore," "go to Zellara's," and "enjoy the view." Decisions, decisions... ;)

Male

Sorry for the slow response on that last one, guys--show I'm currently working on just opened tonight, so it's been a busy time. Also, I finally have a new computer! Huzzah!


Male

I admit I had wondered what Teodor's version of "last rites" would be...now we know. :P


Male

Hmmmm....looks like everyone's had a busy day today. If no one else has anything to add before I go to bed, I'll probably just move you on toward Zellara's.

Teo, you're cracking me up with these posts!


Male

Work kicked my butt today, but I promise to update with Zellara's response soon!

Hey guys, I'm back! ^_^

Wow, there is a metric TON of posts I need to go through before I'm up and running again, might take a little bit...

Anyway, I'm thrilled to be able to play again, and hope I didn't cause too much trouble with my absence.

Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on lets go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman.

I've been distracted the last few days with the Blizzard of 2014 down here in the southeastern USA. I think we got 2 inches or round about.

Better than Tangled IMO and its nice that Disney is starting to recapture some of that old animated greatness again.

Which one? Tangled (Rapunzel adaptation) or Frozen (The Snow Queen adaptation)?

Welcome back Imperia! :)

Still need to see Frozen... everyone's been telling me it's great.

Both movies. Though I've been hearing a lot of good things about Frozen.


Male

Hooray for the return of Imperia!! And yes, Frozen is a good movie. Glad we're all together again--check out Gameplay for an update! :D


Male

By the by, I tallied it up the other day, and you guys are approximately 75% of the way to level 2! Just a head's up!

Just so you guys know, I'll be at work for most of the day tomorrow.

@Teodor
The brooch. Isn't that what we're doing next? Korriban didn't want to say that he was going to meet the queen. At least, not at this point. It would cause too much commotion. He'll tell her later.

@Imperia
It's okay, Imperia.


Male

Ahhhh, I was wondering if that was the delivery you were referring to. No rush on that one--it's not exactly time-sensitive, don't feel any pressure to do the whole adventure in one night. :P (That said, if you decide now is the time to do it, go for it!)


Male Human (Varisian) hp 45/56 | AC 22/T 17/FF 15 | CMD 22 | Fort +4 | Ref +7 [+8 v traps] | Will +2 | Init +6 | Perc +13 (+15 to locate traps) | SM +17

Well, we can stay the night at the Rosa. We would just need to pick up Celia and escort her to the Rosa. Or we can go to Zellara's house and camp there for the night. Let's put it to a vote in character. I'll be okay with either option.

Okay. I've been thinking and a thought came up. Both Korriban and Gadriel don't know who their parents are. Korriban wants to find out. What if, when he finds that answer, it turns out that Korriban and Gadriel are... siblings!!!

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!!!

Hah! Works for me. Gadriel doesn't care about finding her parents, Abu is the only family she needs. However, she is beginning to understand and value this new odd feeling called 'friendship.' That could work certainly make for a predictable, but none-the-less entertaining story. :)

Finally home!

Uff... I've worked all day, I'm exhausted! (-.-)'

Gimme just a few minutes to eat something and I'll make a post in the gameplay thread.

EDIT - Made it! ^_^

Sorry again for holding everyone up, believe me I'm doing my best, but these days I've way less free time than I'd like. :o

It's alright, Imperia. We understand. Work comes first.


Male

I second what Korriban said. Don't sweat it!

Since we've heard from almost everyone and things seem to be drawing to a close in the Rosa, I'm going to go ahead and move things along (feel free to ret-con small things in if you haven't gotten a chance to stow things/talk to people/whatever). New post coming to gameplay as soon as I get it typed up!

Are we at level 2 yet?


Male

Hey guys, I'm going to let y'all go ahead and settle in before moving on. To answer the question....yes! You'll be level 2 when the new day dawns. Enjoy it! :)
