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.

Hooray! Let's do half die+1+Con (is that how PFS works? Either way, seems reasonable) for hit points.

And now I have brawler's flurry, allowing me to "TWF" with my fists (and/or with disarm, sunder, or trip).

So now we're waiting for Teodor to level up.

Sorry about that. My desktop stopped turning on the other day ...don't wait for me to level. I'll figure out a way.

Thanks for your understanding guys, and believe me I feel awful promising something and not being able to maintain that promise, but I really can't make it tonight.

My work situation has become almost as bad as it was in January, and right now free time is really something I'd like to have, but I can't afford to take (if you think right now here is 3:30 AM and I'm STILL working you'll understand the predicament I'm in! O.o')

Please feel free to advance the plot, I don't want to hold everyone, and I'll do my best to write a post as soon as I can (possibly doing a 'double post' with Imperia waking up, and then her actions if the plot moved forward)

Once again, with all my apologies, please don't wait for me and go on! :)


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

S+~# happens my game-a. No worries.

It's no problem, Imperia.

Yeah, don't worry about it! Do what you have to do. :)

I'm alive! Aliiiive, I tells ya!

After many, many, MANY hours of almost uninterrupted work (no seriously it was ridiculous: get up, work, eat while working, work, go to bed, repeat... -.-'), I'm back to an almost humane schedule and have a little free time!

I'm just going to grab something to eat, then I'll finally post something! ^_^


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

Great to hear that, Imperia! My posting may be sporadic tomorrow. After much work and time to gather everything I need, I'm going to start working on my Internship project. Have a lot of work ahead of me.


Male

Hi all! Seems like things have slowed a little bit. The consensus seems to be moving toward going to return the Queen's brooch; do people want to just head out to that or have some more roleplaying time?

A third option would be to set up an independent "free time" roleplaying thread, in case people want to play out more detailed breakfast discussions while the main plot still moves forward.

Let me know what you'd like!


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

Just so you know, I'll be working for most of the day on Sunday.

I'm good with any option!


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

Teodor won't protest further. He's improvising.


Male

Any other opinions? I have tomorrow (Monday) off, so I'll probably move us forward sometime in the afternoon if people are ok with that!

I'm good moving forward. Love the RP, but the storyline in this AP should still be the focus. Of course, I've been busy this weekend and haven't had time to join in. Shame on me. :D


Male

Hey, sorry I didn't post today--was going to, but then questions were raised of where you were going. I'm gonna let you guys decide first, however you want to; it can just be an OOC decision if you want. But it's an interesting choice: Korvosan Guard, or straight to the Queen?


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

I'm voting to go to the Queen.

Sorry for being kind of distant lately! I've been busy prepping for an upcoming Wrath of the Righteous campaign I'm going to be running, as well as some other personal things going on, and I keep reading but forgetting to make proper updates. Expect posts tonight. :P

By the way, I am strongly considering opening up a WotR PbP since I've done all the preparation work for it anyway... and I'd be more than happy to have anyone in this game roll up a character for it... I really dig the roleplaying and such that goes on here. If anyone's interested, I'll keep you updated.

Possibly interested in WotR PbP.

I'm in! Just let me know the creation rules, and I'll whip up something. Prolly avoid the creepy child in that one though. ;)


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

Definitely interested! Sounds great.


Male

I'm totally interested--as long as you don't mind the fact that I'm playing in another WotR campaign right now. I'm good at separating player and character knowledge, I swear! :)

In the meantime, don't forget to decide what you guys want to do in terms of moving on! Once a decision is reached the plot should perk up again.


M Human (Ustalavian) Cleric of Groetus 3/Slum Shaman 1/Evangelist of Groetus 5

We find a pats--representative of the court.

Guys, I would like to change my vote. I'd like to go to the Rosa first. Then to the Queen.

@Those interested in WotR, I've put out feelers to a couple of groups I play with and I have a few interested, so I might have a semi-closed application thread in the future. Just waiting for a couple of PFS games I'm in to wind up before I start.

Rosa then the Queen is fine with me.


Male

Hi all: rough day at work today and a busy day after. I'll be updating tomorrow evening and PLOWING AHEAD with the plot. At the moment we'll be going to the Rosa, then on to Castle Korvosa.

You have until tomorrow night to register any opinions about this course of action!


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

I got no problems!


Male

Post's up! Sorry, it's been busy at work lately. We should be able to get going again now!

I'm writing this for every game I'm in:

I'm deeply sorry I disappeared for as long as I did. As you may know I'm dealing with serious problems with my job, and in the past week I was hit with an issue after another, regarding work, family and health. I've been so busy I didn't have the time to even think about taking a few moments for myself. Of course, I should have posted as much way sooner than now, instead of just disappearing and leaving everyone waiting. Every day I would tell myself I had to take a few minutes to at least write a quick post about my inability to play, and every day something new and disastrous would happen that required dealing with without delay (yes, it's been one of the worst weeks of the last several years...)

My situation SHOULD be getting better starting next week, and I'll do my best to start posting again on Monday. Once again, I'm very sorry for disappearing like I did, and I hope I didn't cause too much trouble.

Hope to see you next week! :)

It's okay Imperia. Life has its way of sneaking up on us. Thank you for keeping us informed!


Male

No worries, Imperia. Do what you have to do!

I'm gonna give people the rest of tonight and the first part of tomorrow to get in any Rosa business (and we can always ret-con other things if necessary). Then I'll move on to the Queen, and I'll assume that Celia stays at the Rosa.


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

Why do I get an uneasy feeling from Teodor doing a Diplomacy check on Lialda? Also, I have to work the afternoon to early evening today.


Male

New post is up! Sorry for the delay. Plot moving forward!

Also guys, do try to let me know if you're having trouble posting. I know it's been a little slow event-wise lately, and I'm moving it along, but I worry sometimes if I don't hear from you for a long stretch. What can I say, I'm like a little hen. :P

Hey. I know some of CotCT. Wasn't there a guy we were supposed to meet during the rioting? No spoilers intended. I'm sorry if I do spoil anything.


Male

No worries, he'll show up. I'm tweaking things slightly because I didn't want the whole "rioting city" bit (which is essentially a sequence of random encounters) to drag out too long.

Hey all, sorry for the slow posting. Wife got in a minor fender-bender the other day. Everyone's fine but the ol' family wagon is not. Been working on financing, looking, and shopping for it's replacement. To that end, I'll be in Portland this weekend and likely not in front of a computer for more than 10 minutes at a time. If I get a chance I'll pop on, but don't hold up for me. I'll be back and ready to rumble by Monday morning though!

Just to let you guys know, I will be gone on Friday and Sunday and posting may be late on those days.


Male

No worries guys! We'll proceed at whatever pace works. Unfortunately I won't be able to post in gameplay tonight--running off to a day of job interviews in another state tomorrow! Hopefully I'll get something up tomorrow afternoon/evening.

WotR recruitment thread is up, if you're still interested!

I'm mortified beyond belief.

Just when I thought the worst was over and I had pulled through, it went all down to hell. Suffice to say I'm looking for a new job, and possibly in a few days a new home. Saying I've been miserable the past few days would be an understatement. To avoid falling into depression, I'm taking a few days off job-hunting and so on to 'reorganize my life', so to speak... Paradoxically, this means I should be able to spare the time to play a little bit! At least it'll cheer me up some! :)

Right now I really need some sleep, when I get up I play to come back, read all about what I missed and finally post something.

Thank you all for your patience!


Male

Woof, Imperia...hope all gets better soon! Please let us know what, if anything, we can do to support you--sending good thoughts your way!

To all: sorry I went AWOL this weekend, I was down to visit my girlfriend and unexpectedly lost internet there. There will be a post to continue on shortly--since no one else has suggested otherwise, we'll move on with the main story.

Anyone heard anything from Adoros? He doesn't seem to have been on lately, hoping he's ok. :(
