The Nebten's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master Nebten

I have returned!

I don't know if Kale can get around and attack anything...

You can attack them through the slits their firing their slings through, but they will get improved cover for +8 AC. Otherwise, that area is a bit of an annoying chokepoint.

Hey all, I have returned to the lower 48. I'll tag BPC out and get things moving tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks again BPC for stepping in. I appreciate it. owe you one.

No problem! Hope you enjoyed yourself!

Welcome back Neb and thanks for stepping in BPC! :)

Welcome back! Thanks Cho-cho!

Welcome back nebten, and thanks for filling in chocobo!

Welcome guys! Interesting group you are, I'll have to ask Nebten about you guys occasionally.

Also GM: Can you remove me from the campaign then so this'll be cleared from my campaigns page? Thanks!

Yes! Welcome back Nebten hope you had fun!

And thank you to Chocobo!

Discussion on cloak of resistance so it doesn't happen in gameplay:

I think the cloak should go to the person we want to be mind controlled the least. Kale is my bet. I need flank to sneak, so it's probably not that serious. Calli is dangerous too, but she has good wisdom and monk saves too, so...

Good point! I'm happy with Kale getting the cloak then :)

Kale can't 5ft step out of the web can she?

Kale can since she currently is not grappled by the webs.

Yay! Also Alex wished for me to inform you that he wont be replying till after 5 today, because of no wifi. But if you want to move on before then, he wishes to heal Iulia and make his way to Haruf.

Thanx for the heads-up Kale. I had him heal Iulia. He's not able to move since he has to break out from where he currently is.

I was honestly debating either doing Dmg or casting Cause Fear again on somebody. Of course, that would really suck to once again fly back into the webs and be stuck.

I'm surprised Paizo/WotC hasn't developed some kind of Web-Master PrC. Somebody that casts Entangle/Web/Black Tentacles but can manipulate them. Talk about AoE control. Either increase damage, leave blank spots for friends, etc, etc.

Well it also doesn't help the PC parties are horrible with dealing with casters.

Thanks for being patient Haruf; hopefully we'll be able to finish this fight and get you back in the game soon!

I've got a character in another game here that's in a similar situation. Two failed Fort saves and a lucky crit from a stinking dog and she's been out the entire fight...and she's a Cavalier!

*le sigh*

It's ok, I just wanted to joke a bit.

Yah, sorry about that Haruf. Worse episode of this was during a Vampire game. One guy got Feared so he had to run away for x number of rounds, then of course that many rounds to return.

But we had like 8 or 10 people playing, so the rounds took a long as time to complete. My friend was out of play for 2 to 3 hours near the end of a 10 hour session. Nobody realized that was going to happen. He didn't return to that game again.

Again, I apologize. Now you have a swanky cloak.

Hahaha, really, it's cool!

Once, during a GURPS game, a party of 8 players took 6 hours to decide how to climb down a hole. Never played with that many players again.

Try playing a Wrath of the Righteous game sometime. Some of those later fights take ages!

I'd love to play a game of that! But it is hard to find a recruitment that isn't a closed one.

It's one of the games my F2F group is playing but I'd like to try it via PbP due to the fact that my F2F group is less roleplay and more beer-and-pretzels style; they're fun to play with but I get my RPing fix from my PbP games hehe.

Mythic as-is is broke as joke though...

Yeah I understand that. This is the best place to get the RP fix!

That I do know, always a chance to hit on a critfisher.... ouch.

I always found crevasses to be the bane of story progression. I'm not a fan of spells like web, solid fog, stinking cloud, pit or black tentacles either, on the whole. Slow combat down, and muck things up for the fighters.

I suppose for tabletop it's better. PbP, I understand. But I don't mind slow, actually. Increases the feeling of accomplishment when the encounter is won.

As an FYI I'm working night shift the next three nights (tonight, Friday, Saturday) and sleeping during the day so my posting rates will likely drop during the time. I'll try and catch up/keep up as best as I can but feel free to bot Calli as needed to keep things moving along.

Once we get to town and sell things, everyone gets:

728.2 gp.

You can "buy back" the following items at the following prices out of your share:
scrolls of Glitterdust (2) 150 (75 each)
wand of Web (4 charges) 180
small dagger, 1
Cloak of Fangs 1400
Msw Cold Iron Longsword 15

Iulia will buy back the two scrolls of glitterdust, and use one of them to add the spell to Sweet Tooth (glitter pig!). I auto make it if I can take 10 on the spellcraft roll.

Can't we just not sell what we want? I mean, I can't afford the cloak...

This is the "fair" (and easy, really) way to handle loot distribution. I'm open to other alternatives.

There's not anything in the pile that Calli really needs or could use. Can we hang on to things with an eye to buy them at a later date if they can't be afforded now?

(I think I need to go back and reread the discussion about handling loot and such so I understand it better.)

This is the part I don't get. So we'll hold on to the Cloak and not use it because there's not enough gold in the party to buy it, except we have it in our hands.

Can't we value what each character took that so in the next loot distribution, that character gets less to even it out?

After a quick look at your sheet, Haruf, did you include this payout?

That should be enough to buy the Cloak or borrow some coin from somebody. After all, that cloak screams your name.

No to taking 10 on Spellcraft to learn spells since there is a penalty associated with it for failure.

Scroll 1:the Craft!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Scroll 2:the Craft!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Second one makes it.

Score, Iulia!

BTW, the Msw CI Longsword buyback is 165, not 15, I think.

Whoops! Forgot the masterwork component.

Everyone gets 30 more gp too, then, since I didn't count that in sold treasure either (758.2)

sorry bout my silence. its been a crazy week that I havent had a moment to open the laptop between work, family, etc. honestly, the few times I did open my laptop, this slipped my mind because of everything else on my mind. but I am back

Welcome back! :)

I will be traveling for work 9/15 - 10/2, and then attending a wedding 10/5 - 10/10. I will likely be available to post intermittently.

Alex welcome back. I do ask that it would have been good to post in the Gameplay too if you were going to swing by =v).

Iulia, thanx for the heads up. Post when you can. Man, a 5 day wedding? Whoo-wee!

Have a good trip, Iulia!

BTW, I'm keeping the cloak of fangs. I just have to figure out how much money I have left because I haven't kept track of it all =(

The wedding is less than five days, but it is my brother's wedding. Getting the yearly family visit out of the way, too.

Woo! Have a grand time :)

Just checking in. I'm here, just allowing the party to discuss how they are going to approach the Wizard's Manor before moving things along.

I have also updated the Campaign Info tab. To simplify the discussion, they only weapons in town made from special materials are 20 silver arrows, 20 CI arrows and the weapons you sold for coin: Msw CI longsword & 2 mithral daggers. Anything else will have to be ordered and will take a week or so to get in.

When I have time to backtrack all the money earned and spent, I'll decide if I have enough money to buy the mithral daggers.

I don't think you will, Haruf. You have to buy them now at full price, 502 gp. So you won't be able to get them and the Cloak.

So I'm going to be running Call of Cthulhu (7th ed) in a month for some local friends. Its been nearly 10 years since I last played it and it was only a game or two.

Supposedly 7th edition streamlined of some of the math, and it is noticeable when reading the 6th ed quick start rules vs the 7th ed.

Anybody have an tips running or playing CoC in general? I know not much can be said about 7th edition since it just came out. Any sticky points I should be aware of. For now, I plan on running a one shot scenario to see if we as a group like the system. Of course I'm going to go crazy with period music, sound effects, newspaper props and mood lighting.

Afraid I don't have any experience with playing CoC, though I've heard a lot of great stories about it from my brother who used to play in college. I'd definitely like to give it go sometime though :)
