Not a problem.
I am going on a working vacation starting on the 30th until July 17 or so. I should be able to get on at least once a day to check in on things, but there may be a day or two without access here or there. (I'm going to Georgia to be with my family and give the grandparents a break from taking care of the niece and nephew.) If you are in my game, please bear with me and I will update as often as possible. If I am in your game and seem slow, you know why. Thanks.
No problem. Thanks for making this dungeoncrawl awesome DM!!
Best of luck on vacation.
And, just because it's worth spreading the word, has anyone seen this Kickstarter, The Legendary Planet Adventure Path, I've pledged for it as it looks like a bag of fun and it has some great authors!!! I've also taken the opportunity to get the Mythic Books they produced... My poor bank account!!!
Please consider me if you run this!!
Same here!!!
I think we need Symon flanking as fast as possible, maybe a double move to set it up?
I probably start channeling now or go with a spiritual weapon.
Would a spiritual weapon be affected by water? Or would the force weapon cut through the water with ease?
Luther - Reading it, I don't think the Spiritual Weapon is affected by the underwater environment - however you will need to get past the Creature's SR with your first attack.
Oooops - I previously read Luther's action as opening the nearest door - not the first one!!!! Have posted and amended the map for the one he was nearest at the time - as it doesn't put you in immediate danger hope that's okay... I can retcon you to opening the first door if you like or we can let this stand - and you can either explore onwards or go back to that first door...
Wiating on actions from Drusellia, Symon and Luther...
Going to GenCon next week. I will be out of contact from Tuesday, July 28 until Wednesday, Aug 5. Please bot me as necessary during this time.
For info, the Kickstarter that I previously told you folks about – the Legendary Planet Adventure Path – funded last night with a full seven adventure (with prelude) romp across the multiverse. At some point soon backers will receive the Player’s Guide and the prelude Adventure (with the following adventures coming approximately bimonthly after that) – I fully intend to run the AP on these boards and so, after spending a little time reading and reviewing the prelude, I shall launch a recruitment thread. I will be sure to post here to let you know when I have set up recruitment.
Interested in a psionic character.
Note that, as both of my Emerald Spire games have dropped to four players, I intend to run a re-recruitment imminently – I had held off for a while as RPG Superstar is upon us (the open call is normally quite a difficult time to get people interested and excited in putting a character together) plus I will be away on summer holidays next week – however, I think I will just get on with it now. I will link the recruitment thread here so you folks can keep an eye / answer any queries that may come up whilst I am away – my aim is to run recruitment for two weeks and have a fifth player in each group (I’ll have to work out sensible ways of introducing them) by the start of September.
We can use another frontliner. Maybe a paladin.
Hmmm - I think a group of eight is asking for trouble!!! I actually enjoy having two different groups as your gaming styles and approaches are quite different / plus on the non-linear levels it is fun watching the adventure develop different ways.
Hopefully we'll get a good response to recruitment - after all, level four / five is quite a fun level to play PF.
Folks,
I am away on holiday for a week as of tomorrow and, right now, I have no idea as to whether there will be any internet access at the cottage we are staying at – therefore, it is quite likely that there will be no GM posts through until about the 24th August. However, if there is access, I will endeavour to keep things moving along – and shall also commence recruitment for Conner’s replacement.
Cheers,
GM Zed
Everyone may level up to Level 5 – note normal procedure of describing key changes to your characters in the Discussion Thread as you level…
Some changes this time around though – I would like to implement the optional Automatic Bonus Progression system described in Pathfinder Unchained. It is yet to appear on the Paizo PRD so I have extracted the relevant parts and placed them in the Campaign Tab for your perusal…
Key parts are that, moving to Level 5, you will get:
Resistance: At 3rd level, the character gains a +1 resistance bonus on all saving throws.
Armor Attunement: The character can attune herself to one suit of armour or one shield in her possession; she can change that attunement once per day. If she selects a normal set of clothing as her armour, it counts as having a starting enhancement bonus of +0. The attuned suit of armour gains a +1 enhancement bonus at 4th level.
Weapon Attunement: The character can attune herself to any one weapon in her possession, and can change that attunement once per day. The attuned weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus at 4th level.
Deflection: The character gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC at 5th level.
Some of you may have magic items that are no longer relevant – Symon’s +1 Rapier being a case in point although if there are others, please let me know… For all such items, I will suggest a new function…
Dru becomes a 5th level sorcerer:
In addition to her resistance bonus at 3rd level, her +1 deflection bonus to AC, and attunements to her rapier and her clothing, she picks up the following:
+3 hp (hp 18)
Skills: Knowledge (arcana) +2, Knowledge (dungeoneering) +1, Spellcraft +1
Feats: Expanded Arcana (Color Spray)
Spells: Disrupt Undead (0), Mudball (1), Whip of Spiders (2)
This level allows me to make it to my prestige class, Shadowdancer!! Will update this weekend! Now maybe I can be a bit more useful!!
Skills Perception +1 Diplomacy +1
Spells 2x3rd (Fly domain, summononing 3) added
attuned plate armor and deflection = +2 AC
Plan is to sell Morningstar of thundering as I can attune a generic weapon and thundering is not that hot
Ok..weird..I thought I already did this?! Sorry for the delay, I will post again
Class: Rogue 4/ Shadowdancer 1
Class Skill: Hide in Plain Sight
Skills: Stealth +1, Slight of Hand +1, Perception +1, Disable Device +1, Arcobatics +2, Climb +1
Saves: +1 Ref
HP: +6
Feat: Weapon Focus-Rapier
All other items you mentioned are also added....Do I remove the +1 magical rapier?
Character is now updated!
Back from holiday – somewhat predictably there was no internet access at all in the village we were staying at and we had to head inland a mile or so to get mobile coverage – it was like the twentieth century all over again!!!! Anyways… Back now so – actions?
Heading down to the next level.
Feat level 5 = Saving Shield immediate to give +2 to adjacent ally
Hope to protect Dezco.
I have just posted a recruitment thread to get a fifth player back into the game – I’ve given it a couple of weeks to allow people to think about what they might want to play / pull a character together so hopefully I can introduce a new character into the game soon enough…
Feel free to keep an eye on who is applying / characters that they are proposing, Here.
I like the druid. Can we call dibs on him?
Are we just waiting for a new member to be chosen?
I'd rather you didn't!!! It will be easier for me to integrate a new player if you are exploring the level...
I assumed folks were on holiday but, if people are around, then please carry on...
Consider us ready to go!
All, note that Dezco has decided against continuing with the game - he felt it was too much of a dungeon crawl with maybe not enough interactions / RP opportunities. It's a shame but there's no point forcing yourself to play a game you're not really feeling!!! On the plus side, there are at least three characters proposed in my replacements recruitment thread so, with a little bit of GMPC'ing in the short term, we should be fine...
I know it's the weekend - and a holiday weekend in the US at that - but waiting on actions from you folks and the outcome of this fight may influence how I introduce the new folks into our game...
All, I certainly don’t want to railroad you but, given how this combat is going (and please note that I would never dream of Coup de Grace on an actual player!!!) and my desire to get the new players into the game ASAP – maybe it is time to retreat / regroup at Fort Inevitable?
I agree..once we deal with this battle, we collect Dezco's remains and head back to the Fort. We need to regroup and perhaps get better equipment for the next levels!
Folks, I've spoken about it in the past but I have finally put up a recruitment call for a Legendary Planet campaign...
The recruitment thread is Here - please check it out and, if you fancy stepping into a crazy adventure between worlds, feel free to propose a character.
Excellent - managed (just about) not to kill anyone else with that brutal Minotaur... Will post something over the weekend to tie our new starters into the adventure...
As our scout, I think Symon gets the ring, the chain shirt +1 should add two to his AC and still have the same -1 ACP the studded leather has.
Plan is to sell +1 thundering Morningstar, +1 rapier (Symon can attune another one) and look into buying cloak of resistances for all and natural armor amulets for those on the front line. Maybe we can spring for an elven cloak for Symon instead to help his stealth.
Okay - we need to sort out what items you are currently carrying that are simple +1 (or whatever) weapons, etc - under the automatic bonus progression scheme, those sort of items no longer exist...
No cloaks of resistance, no amulets of natural armour, etc. They simply don't exist in the world anymore...
...the Morning Star is simply a Thundering Morning Star (that can be attuned to +1)...
...the Belt is now ruined...
...the Rapier and the Chain Shirt can both gain +1 equivalent abilities - happy to take requests on those (as we are retconning them)
That sure makes things simpler!
The Chain Shirt has no 'plus number' bonus (as you get that from the Automatic Bonus Progression) so instead, you can choose a special ability (with a cost of '+1 bonus') from the Magic Armour Special Abilities table in the attached link: Here.
The table starts at 'Balanced' and ends with 'Warding'.
Equally, the Rapier also has no 'plus number' bonus any more so instead, you can choose a special ability (with a cost of '+1 bonus') form the Magic Weapons Special Abilities table in the attached link: Here.
The table starts at 'Allying' and ends in 'Vicious'.
Well if the rapier is still mine, I would choose it to have the KEEN ability. I think someone else should take the armor (Unless it magically becomes a mithral shirt!!!)
I do not remember what the ring did??
It's a Ring of Feather Falling - picked up back in Gorloth's Crypts...
dot
How about making the mstar holy, a +2 ability as it was +2 equivalent if you think it would not be op.
Seems more thematic for a cleric.
