Happy Turkey Day, all!
Gezzo and Thorgrim shake off the cobwebs trying to enter their minds...
Oh wait, I guess that was for the Will save, wasn't it. Too danged many saves flying around in this game!
Nice hit by the way, keep it up. We need to take this corruption down before she does much more damage.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the great adventure! I couldn't ask to play with a better group of RP-ers.
Agreed! Being welcomed into this group is one of the things for which I'm giving thanks today.
By the way, Gezzo...
Your curse may have weakened my body, but not my resolve!
I admit Celif mentally added, Nor your penchant for being insufferable... :o)
But that's one of the things we love about you! Right, gang?
<Crickets>
Uh... gang?
Insufferable?
You may be being too nice. ;P
But, would you expect anything less from an Inquisitor with an inferiority complex?
Well I don't think Gezzo is insufferable; "pushy" perhaps and "I'm gonna do it my way and NOW so get outta my way"; perhaps just very determined . . .

I like to call it Svarogian (Gnomish?) focus. :P
Well I don't think Gezzo is insufferable; "pushy" perhaps and "I'm gonna do it my way and NOW so get outta my way"; perhaps just very determined . . .
Well, let's have Messrs. Merriam and Webster adjudicate:
in·suf·fer·able adjective \(ˌ)in-ˈsə-f(ə-)rə-bəl\ : very bad or unpleasant : too unpleasant to deal with or accept : see Gezzo Wrathforge
I rest my case... ;o)
In her defense, please note Celif's thought was on Gezzo's tendency to be "too unpleasant to deal with" -- she didn't actually brand him insufferable. :o)
And keep in mind she was bullied in her youth by people who probably came off much like Gezzo, plus she's a NG-aligned personality rubbing up against Gezzo's LN. "The laws must be followed" guy ain't listenin' to her "only if they're just" addendum. That causes her some mental friction (which, being Good, she's naturally going to keep inside for the most part).
Plus this is, you know, the Shadowlands. We're not supposed to get along, hehe.
Perhaps focus is not the correct word, maybe tenacious would be better.
And people would probably have a hard time with his tenacity, I suppose...among some of his other more enduring qualities. Although I assure you in the Svarog community, those same qualities (gratingly intense, near-insanely persistent, highly suspicious) are highly respected and appreciated. Think of a three foot Hugh Jackman with control issues and some sort of OCD for the mystical. He would be considered quiet the catch.
I like having Gezzo around, he and Thorgrim have a nice combo of impulsive behaviour. And Thorgrim usually seems like the calm one*. :P

Lol, I really wish I could better convey the helium pitch voice that I hear in my head when Gezzo goes off on a tirade. A raging barbarian and foul tempered munchkin roaring into battle is quiet the duo.
Gezzo does appreciate men of action.
Question for the Story Master: Can a player move to another location when it is not his groups' turn? Just wondering . . .

That's hard for me to do with my schedule. Usually, I can only post early morning or late night, Pacific Time. Waiting for my group's turn to post was leading to delays in the game.

I understand. If someone moves/acts out of sequence, I usually insert them into the correct sequence.

My wife gave birth to our beautiful baby girl yesterday. I have WiFi at the hospital and can post from my phone when its quiet. But, I may be sporadic with posting for the next few days. If I'm absent for too long please NPC Gezzo to move things along.
Congrats Gezzo!!!! That is awesome!!!
On the bright side, lots of sleepless nights in the months ahead when you can post at 2am. :)
Awesome, Gezzo! Congratulations!
Congratulations!

Awesome, Gezzo!!! Congratulations to you both on your little princess!!! What did you name her?
Thank you, everyone!
Her name is Victoria Pearl (total coincidence with the day she was born on), 7lbs 14oz and mom & baby both doing great.
Congratulations, Gezzo! Glad to hear they're doing well.

The barrel in C-5 contains two damp mops. Remnants of the fluid spilled around the vat remain in the bottom of the barrel.
The boxes at C-3 and C-4 contain a jumble of common items: two bedrolls (1sp), three blankets (15sp), 50 foot of hemp rope (1gp), two torches (1cp), and two cloth sacks (1sp).
Two metal cabinets stand along the north wall of the west room. The left cabinet contains a stack of cloth towels, washrags, three bars of soap (1cp), and a collapsible bathtub (15gp). It also contains 10 cups and 2 pitchers, all made of brass. The right cabinet contains numerous sets of plain cotton and woolen clothes: small clothes, socks, trousers, shirts, and shoes.
The boxes in M-4 and M-5, and J-K-L-11 contain various foodstuffs including dried meat, several wheels of cheese, a small ceramic jar of honey, ground oats, root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots, two bottles of red wine, and 14 bottles of ale.

East Room Contents:
The two overturned tables in the arched doorway connecting the two rooms are plain, with no drawers or compartments.
Three wood desks are near the main entrance. They are old and damaged, and missing most of the drawers. One intact desk drawer contains a candlestick (1cp) and four candles (1cp); 11 sheets of parchment (2sp); a glass vial of black ink (8gp); 2 wood stylus with brass writing nibs (1sp). The two wood boxes are empty, and are turned upside down as if they were used in place of chairs for seating. The wood barrel is very heavy, and is nearly half full of sooty coal.
Three bookshelves line the wall just to the west of the main entrance. They are empty except for the presence of a small wooden box that contains five vials; an empty backpack (2gp); a wicker basket containing two pints of lamp oil (1sp); three wooden clubs, 2 bags of caltrops (1gp), and a finely made medium, masterwork heavy mace (312gp – 1d8, X2, 8 lbs., B).
Story Master, I'm not sure I understand what you want me to do when you say "application of additional study using the Linguistics skill".
Do you need a Linguistic roll? I believe you do that without my knowledge of the outcome (I have a +6 in Linguistics).
Or do I have to learn another language? I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to do this just off the pendant.
Linguistics can be used to decipher codes and languages one does not understand(including dead/ancient languages). I believe it is similar to a person well versed in German being able to guess bits and pieces of a text written in Danish.
You can decipher writing in an unfamiliar language or a message written in an incomplete or archaic form. The base DC is 20 for the simplest messages, 25 for standard texts, and 30 or higher for intricate, exotic, or very old writing. If the check succeeds, you understand the general content of a piece of writing about one page long (or the equivalent).http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/linguistics
OK, but that roll and the possible wisdom roll is suppose to be done by the GM in secret (next paragraph after the one Thorgrim quoted). I wasn't sure you wanted me to roll it.
Gotchya, sorry for the questions. The joy of PbP is that a simply question that would take two seconds to answer at a table, takes two days on a forum.
I'll continue on...

It's a bit late, but I just stumbled across this while researching how to play WIS 6 and thought it would be a nice addition. :o)
Just FYI, I'll be at a remote site with limited connectivity this work week, so I'll only be able to post in the evenings and maybe early mornings.
I'm alright with that!
I'm fine with that as well.
Okay by me.
And: Happy Festivus, everyone!
Gezzo and Lryhla dive into the fray and attempt to grab onto Celif. Even though neither can see in the Darkness surrounding her, they both manage to grab her!
Thorgrim joins the fray, and he somehow blindly gropes through the wildly flailing bodies and latches onto the creature attacking Celif! With a shout he musters his rage and manages to yank the creature off of her!
First, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU, guys! Celif will be staying in the back and looking up from now on.
I know this was a serious situation, but you know that sound when you stick your finger in your mouth and then pop it out across one side? That's what I heard in my head when Thorgrim yanked the thing off.
And those within range should be glad he managed it before her turn next came around. From her point of view she was already being attacked when suddenly she's being almost tackled and something is tugging at her legs and robe. She was about to start swinging her mace. And not at the darkmantle.
Not terribly risky what with the 50% miss chance from being blinded, but someone might have gotten bruised...
Hehe... thank you, Nastrod, for a late morning laugh! :o)
The best to you and yours over the holiday, Story Master, and to everyone else as well!
GM bless us, everyone!
Merry christmas guys.
A little something to spice up your evening:
HaH! Thorgrim Enjoy. I will think of you while I consuming fermented grapes!!!!
To paraphrase Worf, "A warrior's meal!"
Merry Christmas to all!
Power out, DMPC as needed.

It looks like we have a lot of the same Knowledge skills, Celif. Next level I might spread my points into some of the more obscure Knowledges like Engineering, Geography and Nobility.
Yeah, she's very bookish because of the whole "nerdy girl" backstory -- lots of Knowledge skills, Lore Keeper, etc. (Since there was no real danger, that's why I had her be distracted by the books rather than healing after the ooze battle... figured that's how her creator would have played her.)
Overlap on the most often-needed Knowledge skills (like we have) is probably good -- that way if either of us flubs a roll, we have a backup. Or we can be checking two things/areas at once when time is of the essence. If you want to cover some of the obscure stuff too, that'd be great.
No need to spend a skill rank on Geography though, she has that one.
