Anyway, busy week as a bunch of old, distant relatives decided to get extremely sick at the same time. What a group of self-centered a!$&%#$s...

Gonna post later today.

Okay, I have time now, but I found myself thinking 'What do I ask now?'

There's the fact that another investigator -or someone posing as such- arrived precisely here, so he arrived to the same conclusion as us.

But we had help from the psychic imprint on the papers, so how did he arrive to the conclusion?

We could start by asking what did the other guy ask, for starters, but I need to order my ideas and prepare a moderately long post as it's my intention to ask regarding the brain, the manwho owned the brain, the fiery coloured backpacks, recent necromancy outbreaks known, possible aposthats from this Church... and a lot more things.

So do expect a long post tomorrow early in the morning.


Well, not to make things too easy, but one of your teammates did go interview someone separately from the group. The same guy who got your current lead in fact. Maybe he has some potential info?

Tofupizza, actually. But tofu nonetheless.

Also... Smasho, you cheeky lizard! I didn't realised Micah's last name until I was writing my post.

I will put on hold my inquiries until I know if we are being played on, or the plot thickens.


Have a happy New Year everyone! If you have too good a time, make sure to call a cab. Or a friend. Or a couch.

Happy new year guys and gals! I sould heed your advice, seren't it for the fact that the party I'm headed to is exactly 200 meters away from my home.

Which means I will post as soons as the yet to arrive hungover ceases... give it a week or so.


With the new year officially rung in, I've decided to give a quick recap for the sake of clarity.

  • The party has been asked to investigate a break-in at a local laboratory. The man in charge of this lab is named Dr. Mr. Johnathan White. You've discovered the perpetrator entered the scene via some form of teleportation through the door and stole a brain. The policeman in charge of the investigation is Officer Openheim.

  • You've followed your first lead on the case, given to you by the lab assistant Jacques Mori. Which has brought you to the Church of Ashtoreth.

  • After paying your way to the church, you've arrived to a meeting room. Currently having a conversation looking for further details with a man named Reginald, and a woman named Celiss.

    I'll update later tonight, but if anyone wants to add something You'll want to now.

    Literally only 15% chance to botch it and to nobody's surprise I've been poisoned .

    Good old Azrael.


    Its honestly impressive. I'm thinking about making the next check DC 9. See where it goes. I'm tempted to greenlight a new profile for him just to see what happens.

    I am busy studying this week but if I get bored, or next week if not, I will check all of Azrael's rolls and run some maths.

    I suspect the average will be closer to 3 than 10.5 as it should be.

    And if in the end a new profile arises, I am suspicious that he will keep rolling 1s, something about humankind's insignificance compared to the vast universe, karmic justice or God raising a huge middle finger to him.


    He could also be having a temporary lousy streak. I lost four full attacks very close to each other with my gunslinger in a different game. Been rolling pretty decently after that though.

    I was bored while smoking and did the accounting.

    You might be right and it may be a lousy awful streak now that I'm looking at the rolls...

    Every result rolled by Azrael:

    1 1 1 1
    2 2 2 2
    3 3 3 3
    4
    5 5 5 5 5
    6 6 6

    9 9

    15 15
    16 16
    17
    18
    19 19
    20 20

    Average of 8.27, not that far from 10.5


    ...but his first roll in all the campaign ended a 2, and let's not forget that time he rolled two 2s and two 1s in the same post while checking White's lab.

    All in all, I hope the streak goes away and that I get to crit with a scythe smite at least once.


    Do you think it'd be easier to simply assume Gwynn relays the information from object readings in their whole for the future Jaster? I'm partly wondering for the sake of getting a better feel for handling the Occultist.

    I believe that would be best, yes. Parroting back information isn't quite so interesting as hearing it the first time.

    This message was copied and pasted to every game I'm involved in;

    I will be making a trip out of the country for two months and will be unable to post for the flight. Will be able to post again and regularly once settled in. I'm sorry for any delay.

    Continuing from Gameplay: Well, technically yes, NL means pulling punches... I just so happen to find the idiom interesting and my native language doesn't have any simmilar one so I jump at any chance to use it.

    So sue me, but I won't pull any punches :)

    Also I could forego Power Attack, that would indeed be the pulliest punch ever pulled.

    Huh, well that's an interesting factoid. What is said native language? I wanna guess, As a nearly functionally unilingual man, language is an interesting thing to me, as far as things I have no skill in go.

    But languages are fun, Smashohandsome!

    I'm actually from Spain but always have liked languages... in truth I am some sort of Linguistics nerd.

    I speak English at native level -barring pronunciation because accent where I live is strong and hard to erase-, can read French and Italian and this September I will be starting a College Degree on Translation.

    Don't be fooled by my example, though, most people in Spain speak onr language plus the regional if any and not even thr President speaks English properly. Hell, I learned most of what I know from playing MMORPGs since an early age and being too impatient to wait for official translates of books I like. And then there's playings D&D 3.5 and liking splats, of which only a handful are translated to spanish.


    Oh, Italian? That's convenient. You might be able to help me out with Lembe's native language in the future.

    I was waiting on the thugs and my readied action. Should I aimsply go ahead and post next round?

    I mean, if they hadn't done anything hostile then my readied action is gone. I was just confused about who was left to act this round.


    Your readied action already happened. This is now round two.

    Missed it, don't know how. On my way to post a mighty natural 20.

    Check it.

    One of these days, we're gonna have to get Azrael to post a diagnostic test of d20 rolls, just to see how badly he warps probability.

    I will post later today, yesterday caught the update (Smasho's hadn't pop up but last one did) and when I tried to post, every f&&@ing post disappeared... in all of my games. It was strange.

    Anyway, sorry for the delay!

    Now I know it wasn't only me. I did freak out because a while ago Mythweavers did have a major database f#*& up and they lost everything anyone did after the last backup save date... and losing that kind of information here could screw many q campaign.

    Yeah, I'm running four games and playing in another...ten? I dunno. I kinda screamed and wailed and gnashed my teeth asking why the Dice Gods had forsaken me so, but then they fixed it, and all was right.

    Side note, I will not be making a habit of reminding folks about which buffs you have active.

    As an aside, I like the solution Jon came up with in Seraphina's info bar. To make keeping track of buffs easier, it would be very helpful to stick whatever buffs your character is adding at the end your Class/Level bar.

    Yeah, it was my solution when I was planning on running a Bard with the War Sphere, AKA the Dark God of BUFF.


    I do have to wonder exactly what it was that made Paizo.com crap the bed so much recently. Someone in another game I'm in thinks it has something to do with prepping the site for Starfinder.


    If anyone is interested in a pathfinder game set in a modern day earth there's a recruitment thread for a new player. Granted, two people here are already in it, but I figured I'd throw the idea out there.

    I already looked over it... I will give it a second look, got some ideas that would fit a modern world.

    So, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that, since I'll be out-of-state from July 3rd, to 8th, my posting will be spotty but, hopefully the hotel will have decent enough wi-fi for me to keep up with any questions anyone may have.

    The good news is that before I leave, I've finished the race write-ups for the four races I promised I'd make. Presenting:

  • The Phemus

  • The Tintreach

  • The Cryolith

  • And the Slanaad

    I'm open to any and all criticism/ideas. I'm not as happy with the Tintreachs species name as I'd like to be, so that's something I wouldn't mind ideas for. When I get back, I'll be adding a write-up in the Encyclopaedia Genus for the cryolith and slanaad. If someones curious, I can give the short version beforehand. And, as a last idea to tide you over, I'm interested in making racial class archetypes, at least one for each race. But I need you! to give me your own vote for which class you'd like to see a racial archetype for. Only limit, the class has to be one I listed a racial favored class bonus for. And one class per race. Unless you can make a really good case for one. So two rules, but fie on "following my own rules" or whatever.

    I'm gonna read them. You can't begin to understand how hearthy my chuckle was when I googled the irish word for Lightning to suggest it to you (Irish, Gaelic and Welsh are my go to for fantasy stuff naming) and discovered you ninja'd me.

    Good taste you have, sir, indeed.

    As soon as I have some constructive criticism to give, I'll return. For now have my praising for the Alternate Racial traits, that's some serious thorough building right there. I tip my hat, good sir.

    EDIT: I have quickly read through them, gotta say I like them. I almost want to die so I can play one of them. Almost.

    As for the racial archetypes, here are some early suggestion:

    Here:

    Phemus: Given their Cyclopean ancestry I'd suggest a Cyclopean Rager, either Barbarian or Bloodrager. Idea would be for them to grow in size when they rage (starting with Powerful Build, then Large and finally Large with Powerful Build) so they use truly cyclopean weapons. If Bloodrager instead of Barbarian, perhaps a custom Bloodline involving divination.

    Tintreach: Magus. Two-Weapon Magus. Not even lying here, Smashohandsome. A Magus archetype that allows Two-Weapon Fighting would be rad, if balance is an issue perhaps consider restricting the spells usable with spell combat to a smaller list (Obviously including Electricity based spells) and maybe using Charisma as casting stats, Sorcerer style casting or both.

    Cryolith: Tough call. On one hand I'd love to suggest some kind of Gunslinger archetype that focuses on being tough as hell and basically outliving your enemies (Gunslingers with a modified kind of rage? Perhaps a bonus to Con and firearms to hit/damage as well as to their natural attacks, or Temporary HP if going with Unchained). On the other hand I feel like Rainbound Cryolith would like that, but Winterbound ones would appreciate something more esoteric like an Oracle or Druid archetype, perhaps a 4th Level Casting Kineticist archetype. If I gotta choose one only and not one per Cryolith kind, my vote goes to the Gunslinger one I mentioned.

    Slanaad: I would suggest a Fighter archetype focusing on tail grappling foes while using weapons wielded with their arms to tear them apart, or attack other foes. Basically a grappling archetype not restricted to light weapons, that at early levels has to stay put while he grapples with his tail but at later levels can drag enemies around while doing other stuff.


    In any case, sorry if I want into too much detail.

    ** spoiler omitted **...

    No need to apologize for ideas. All I really need is the name of the race and the class on the list. Ill pick one class per race out of the suggested list, but suggestions get the ideas going.

    Slanaad- Sorcerer
    Cryolith-Ranger
    Tintreach- Kineticist
    Phemus-Inquisitor

    Those are the racial archetypes i think would be cool and work

    I was pretty sure I did use all 4 of my uses, but after checking thrice it seems I used one on myself, another one on Sully and a third one on the unnamed thug that I did not give funerary rites.

    I will pin the blame on my -1 to Perception when I rolled to find healing chances.

    Lay on Hands: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

    Well, that makes me extremely happy. I would like to keep my defiance and courage on the face of death though, please pretty please
