@Kharn
Well, Kharn, from what I saw up until now didn’t proved to be that guarding from anyone, which is one of the main points of the PsC.
Usually I would be against it, but if you feel it would helps, feel free to move into that class.
You know nothing, Aku Snow. You forget about Sir Reginold!!

You need to make a Will save DC 20..
I'll ask this in discussion to keep the game play thread clean, but how much would you estimate a regular backpack could hold, and would there be any limit besides the characters strength score as to how much weight the backpack could hold?
I think we should have Seth carry all the gems, and coins we found since they won't weigh too much all together. While having Kharn and Argan fill up their backpacks with as much of the gold items as is possible. We may want to consider renting a cart to get the rest of the silver and gold items out.
Six chests full of mixed coinage from dozens of nations worth 5,500 gp total (approximately 550 lbs of coin)
It's a lot of coins.
Check the carrying capacity and the current weight you all are carrying.
Ultimately, don't make too much difference, it just means you cannot carry everything at the same time.
Also, you cannot sell everything at the same time. Farhold does not have a big market for such things.
Given any day, you can sell 4,4gp in value.
In any given month, you can sell yup to 25kgp in items.
Also, everyone taking leadership:
Give me some options to work on a cohort.
Was that 4400 a day? And im not taking Leadership, but i will have minions soon enough..
Are yall doing Vile Leadership? I think it works better for our group personally..
@Leadership
Taking de feat entails in creating an organization.
I'll post more details later, so don't need to bother with Vile Leadership.
@Traveling at night.
It's the party choice, however, traveling at night I'll not handwave the trip.
Vlad will have to go back eventually.. He needs some blood slaves and a nice coffin or 2 built.. Perhaps the group can get the Baron to help out with that on the first trip back..
I think we should travel by day. We can talk to the Baron for Vlad's problem.
Nevermind about the coins not weighing that much lol. If we can only get around 4,400 gp per day then all the gems would total up to 1,992 gp (This includes the bag full of shiny jewelry). We could try to bring along the six chests (5,500 gp) which would allow us to sell some of it on the day we arrive and then more on the next day as we leave (along with some material for rebuilding). Kharn can hold about 250 lbs. of the chests (or closest weight value) if he leaves his chain shirt behind. Argan has a great big strength score, so I think he can carry the rest of the chests. The chests might take up too much space and in that case one of our purchases can be a cart to lug some of the loot back to the market.
About Cohort: Kharn would be looking first and foremost for someone who seems to be in touch with nature or divine magic such as a druid, shaman, oracle, or cleric to help him run his organization as Kharn will be the muscle and they will be the adviser on the spiritual health of the group. Another plus would be if they worship or at least regard Asmodeous favorably. Note Kharn isn't looking at Seth as a candidate as Seth already seems to be more attached to Lilpenny and Kharn wants to keep it that way so Lilpenny has even more guardians. Also, Kharn doesn't consider the boggard priest as an option because he's really into Dagon and Kharn is not sure about the boggard's loyalty to him.
If he couldn't find or hear about anyone who seems to fit that bill then he would like to try and find another warrior who seems to be good at defending people to help him guard Lilpenny like a fighter, ranger, or maybe even a monk. In this case Kharn would be looking entirely for someone who always keeps their word and would be willing to lay down their life for Lil.
How many corpses do I have available to me, and how many HD does the treant possess?
Remember: Creating Bloody/Burning Skeletons is more expensive, they count as twice their normal number of Hit Dice for total to be created with a single spell, and to decide the onyx price.
Any creature that gains its HD from levels basically counts as a 1 HD since animating them doesn't retain class levels. I imagine that boggard barbarian will just count as another boggard since I have no intention on reanimating him as an intelligent undead.
I'll be making a bloody skeleton out of the treant.
Treant Bloody Skeleton 24 HD, 600 GP (using desecrate from Seth to double HD limit for animate dead)
Minotaur Bloody Skeleton 12 HD, 300 GP
Burning Skeleton x3 6 HD, 150 GP
Total 42 HD, 1050 GP
Lilpinny has a class ability that allows her to control her caster level x5 HD worth of undead, so she can control 35 HD instead of 28. On top of that she has the command undead feat which allows her to control another 7 HD worth of undead, putting her at 42 total.
Lil already had 2000 GP worth of onyx gems, so I marked off 1050 from them.
The treant will be doing in death what it did in life: guarding the front of the Horn. Anybody coming to the front door should have to go through it first.
The minotaur will be Lil's personal bodyguard. As wonderful and effective as Kharn is, he has more important things to do than follow around Lil all day.
The burning skeletons will be with the treant during the daytime, but during the night they will circle the horn a good distance out to scout for anybody approaching. They will be spread evenly apart to cover as much ground as they can. The nice thing about burning skeletons is that if one of them gets destroyed by something approaching, we will see the fire go out in the night.
@All
Some of you may have saw it on recruitment: I’ve last week opened a recruitment for one of my WotW games, since a priest dropped and game went to three players.
That’s concluded and I got the replacements, however there were some interesting submissions which I think we could add to this game.
With that in mind, I had an Cleric Unholy Barrister application that seemed good enough.
Min-Max? No
Posting? Good Frequency
One Linier? No
Role-player? Good descriptions, good postings.
Anyway, this character seems good and it is a fit for this game. And I’ll take off some the workload on Lil keeping the only ‘divine’ caster in the party and give her time to be more Lil and less Seth. What you guys think?
I have no issues personally..
I am all for it. Handling all of the magic, both arcane and divine, is rather time consuming.
I'd welcome another person to our merry band of villians.
Hey everyone,
Glad to be aboard! I'm in the processing of getting Zoe up to speed with character generation, but its 90% done.
Just realized that CampinCarl is in this game... you and I already have some extensive history with this module; looking forward to gaming with you again Talon :)
Should I wait for an game play introduction post Aku? Also, going to be going with the Leadership feat if that is okay? Any restrictions on cohorts? How are they generated?
Cala! It's good to see you again, especially in this campaign. I was crushed when the last one died out, it was such a great game.
I will also admit that I shamelessly stole your burning skeleton patrol idea.
If Lil no longer needs the leadership feat, she'll switch it to greater spell focus (necromancy). Have to get those DCs up as high as I can.
Hey Zoé, welcome.
About the leadership, I've been holding the others for now. There are some things to decide and I've been a lot busy. I apologize for everyone else.
Please wait a while I introdruce you into the game, but feel free to dot in gameplay.
Welcome! I had once applied as a replacement for yalls other game but was not chosen.. Im surprised to hear it fizzled.. This one has tried to several times but we have been hardheaded and not let it die.. Our generous GM AKu is our 4th gm for this game..
Welcome to the group!
I will also admit that I shamelessly stole your burning skeleton patrol idea.
Hah, that's great! I always liked the burning skeletons, that and the Zombie Bus. Good times.
Im surprised to hear it fizzled.. This one has tried to several times but we have been hardheaded and not let it die.. Our generous GM AKu is our 4th gm for this game..
Welcome to the group!
Thanks Vlad :)
Yeah, unfortunately our GM had to leave for real life reasons, but we had a good run... I'm glad to be able to pickup in roughly the same place where that game ended (can't do Brandescar again lol)
About the leadership, I've been holding the others for now.
No problem, I'll just swap in Combat Casting then. In any event, I based the spending on what you had for the other recruitment thread Aku; let me know if that was too much or too little (17K if I recall correctly).
Also, not sure if I roll HP or not; presently, I just used 5HP per hit die and max first level.
HP = Max First Level + 6d8 + Con Bonus
I think Zoe is up to speed now. Background, I need to fill in the gap between Brandescar and the Horn; my thought was that perhaps she was in close service to the Cardinal (being a loyal Asmodean**) but has been sent out to the Horn since it is a vital mission in his schemes.
Sorry, one last question... how many traits do we get? I most of you have four?
Welcome abroad! I think that's the best avatar in the whole foruns, by the way. Sorshen looks like Megan Fox...
I do know that Caladwhen name from somewhere, but can't picture from where...
We are indeed rolling for hit points, but I see as it makes no difference in your case, right?
We do have 4 traits, 2 open traits, one campaign (crime) and one from training with Thorn.
Hey Aku I would like to retrain the following skills points if possible, all of them to be used in Craft (Traps) so we could at least reach a 30 DC given time to take 20.
- 1 Diplomacy
- 2 Intimidate
- 1 Profession Sailor
I've added the equipment you bought as a guild expense, Kharn.
Dont forget your 2 bonus skill points per level either..
Perhaps Vlad has found his woman of the night! Mauhahahahahaaa..
In all seriousness he's kind of a horn dog.. At least he's sexy though..
@Delays.
I apologize all for taking this long to move the game.
I've recruited four new players and it's been demanding coordinating all at the same time. Things is getting easier now and I'll update/move the game late tonight after classes.
Welcome abroad! I think that's the best avatar in the whole foruns, by the way. Sorshen looks like Megan Fox...
I do know that Caladwhen name from somewhere, but can't picture from where...
Yeah, I've always liked this avatar as well, probably for the same reasons you mentioned. As far as Caladwhen was concerned, did you ever drop by or check out Increddibelly's WotW game? We did do several recruitment phases, so you may have checked it out at one time.
We do have 4 traits, 2 open traits, one campaign (crime) and one from training with Thorn.
Great, I'll pick up some additional feats then. Anyone know where the training feats for Thorn can be found?
“Asmodeus is with you.” Adrastus Thorn indoctrinates you into the deeper mysteries of worshipping the Prince of Hell. Whenever you channel energy, you gain a +1 trait bonus to the save DC of your channeled energy.
“Deception is a tool. Master it.” Adrastus Thorn teaches you the subtle arts of deception and how to sense when they are being used against you. You gain a +1 trait bonus to Bluff and Sense Motive.
“Discover what is real and what is illusion.” Adrastus has taught you to see through deceptions and to never lie to yourself. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against illusions.
“Fear nothing save our dread lord.” Adrastus Thorn has shown you fear and taught you to master it within yourself. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against fear effects.
“Focus strengthens your will.” Adrastus Thorn drills you on ways to avoid magic that seek to take control of your mind and divert you from your mission. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against charm and compulsion effects.
“Let us perfect your favorite spell” Adrastus Thorn drills you again and again in the use of one particular spell. Pick one spell. This spell’s effects manifest at +1 caster level.
“Quiet as death” The Cardinal trained in the arts of being silent and stealthy. You gain a +2 trait bonus to Stealth checks.
“Strike first, strike ruthlessly and thus be victorious” Cardinal Thorn has taught you never to shirk or hesitate in a combat. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks.
“Wear your armor like a second skin.” You have drilled extensively in wearing armor in combat. When you wear armor of any sort, reduce that suit’s armor check penalty by 1 to a minimum check penalty of 0.
“You shall be my angel slayer.” Adrastus thorn spends exhausting amounts of time teaching you about good celestials, their strengths and weaknesses. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Knowledge (planes) checks about good-aligned celestials and receive a +1 trait bonus to any damage roll you make against them.
Great, thanks Kharn... went with Asmodeus is with you and Fiendish Confidence for the extra traits.
With that Zoe is more or less complete; in addition to being a good support character, turns out Zoe is actually is pretty skilled, owning a lot of skills like bluff, intimidate and even stealth (the Trickery [Deceit] domain is really quite excellent for this particular AP for a Cleric).
Take it easy Aku, we are still here, don't worry.
@About cohorts
Anyone wishing a cohort is feel free to create a basic crunch, but ultimately, I’ll pick up feats/personality/motivation/archetype choices.
Just without time now to do it. >.<
Edit: I'll of course take the player request heavly when considering my choices.
I will be choosing who i dominate mauahahaha!! lol..
Maybe Miss Elise needs to become a concubine.. hmmm...
Well that is if i ever make it to town again rofl..
Oh, we can take cohorts then? Do we need the leadership feat for that? Sorry, maybe I'm a bit confused on that point... I would like to take a cohort if we can.
I think he was saying you may take Leadership, but your cohorts will be built by him, but he is open to suggestions as to what you would like them to be. Either way the attraction of normal cronies is what we really need.
Can't post on gameplay. '-'
Giving me an error everytime I'd try.
I'm still getting a lot of errors while trying to post in gameplay... :(
@Zoe, can you give me some more elaborate backstory? Yours seems to be one made for a level one character. Remember you never went to Brandescar, and you must tell me what you did to get the cardinal attention.
As soon you provide me with this information, I’ll get you into the game.
Had that happen im the game i gm before as well.. I just started copying everything before i hit the submit button, or even preview for that matter.. Saves alot of heartache..
I also messages a tech about it and they got it fixed..
I always use some sort of word editor :D
So, mostly I don't have that issue, it is just a pain to keep trying.
Freaking site is also doing that with me....
I am also experiencing trouble with the site giving me errors.

Will do; I'll get the background updated after work later this afternoon. Her story will still involve a criminal conviction for sedition, but her path after that will change.
Okay, so here is the updated background story:
Being born to the wealthy elite in Glastenhall, Zoé and her older brother Damian were raised with luxury and privilege. As such, Zoé was given many opportunities that many could only dream of, and due to her keen intellect and an affinity for her scholastic studies, she excelled at all of her academic pursuits. While her brother pursued a martial path and was trained in the art of war, Zoé went to college and trained as a barrister and a diplomat, and joined the court of Markadian V with her father. It was at this time she learned of the dark past of her family, her father revealing the true nature of the Harman allegiance to Asmodeus. Never a fan of the Markadians, both Zoé and Damian took to secretly worshipping the Dark Prince as their forebears had, and joined their father in covertly working against the rule of Markadian V.
Working within the royal court by day, Zoé and her her brother joined secretly with fellow Asmodeans and those simply fed up with the Markadian to bring back the Barca. Their seditious operations grew in scale and ambition, starting out with simple raids on tax collectors but growing eventually to outright attacks on government institutions and the Markadian family itself. It was during the planning of a particularly ambitious plan to kill everyone in the royal court with an explosion that Zoé and her fellow conspirators were finally discovered. The trial was swift and short; Zoé was pronounced a traitor and a heretic, and was sentenced to be beheaded alongside her brother and fellow conspirators. In order to save the family fortune, her parents disowned them in public, and re-affirmed their allegiance to Markadian and claimed no knowledge of their children’s treachery. While upset, Zoé understood her parents actions, though her brother was less forgiving. Both siblings were sent to different prisons before their sentence would be carried out; Damien was deemed to be dangerous, and was sent to Brandescar, while Zoé awaited her fate in Glastenhall county prison.
For Zoé, it was good fortune that she was sent to the relatively low security prison in Glastenhall as opposed to the more fortified Brandescar, for while the authorities consider Zoé to be a low risk for escape from the county jail, they never considered that somebody might try to break her out. On the eve of her execution, a beautiful Mitra priestess with platinum blond hair and green eyes came to visit Zoé, claiming to be her confessor. Being eager to see Zoé repent at her execution, the Markadian guards allowed her to meet privately with the Mitran priestess. What they didn’t know was that Mitran was actually a servant of Cardinal Thorn, a devil by the earthly name of Tiadora. In her secret meeting with Tiadora, Zoé was provided an iron circlet, and was given a vile blessing that allowed her to physically blink from one spot to another when in danger.
On the morning of the execution, Zoé allowed herself to be led to the chopping block. When given leave to say her last words, she was expected to repent, but instead she simply said with a knowing wink "Asmodeus be praised!" With that, Zoé blinked into the crowd that had gathered, and immediately disguised herself using the circlet and slipped away. The chaos and confusion she had caused allowed her to escape Glastenhall easily, and she immediately made her way to the Cardinal’s Manor as Tiadora had instructed her.
Zoé has spent the last several months working and training alongside Cardinal Thorn, a man whom she holds in high esteem both for his intelligence, and his strength of faith in Asmodeus. Gaining power and knowledge in his service, Zoé began to yearn to take the battle to the Markadians once more. On several occasions, she asked the Cardinal to send her to work with one of the Knots, to help the cause in a more hands on way; though he was reluctant to send her at first, he recognized her intelligence and ability and decided she could be of great service alongside the Ninth Knot, who are presently working to raise Vetra-Kali at the Horn of Abbadon.
Now that I'm no longer having to run Seth I don't have to be social anymore! Back to being a sociopathic child!
@Zoe
I don’t mind that freedom to describe the power at your history, however in game terms it has other uses than you described. It’s not used to avoid melee attacks as you described in your character sheet, instead, it can only be used after you are missed by a melee. Check bellow the description:
Associated Domain: Trickery.
Replacement Power: The following granted power replaces the copycat power of the Trickery domain.
Sudden Shift (Sp): In the blink of an eye, you can appear somewhere else. As an immediate action, after you are missed by a melee attack, you can teleport up to 10 feet to a space that you can see. This space must be inside the reach of the creature that attacked you. You can use this power a number of times each day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Replacement Domain Spells: 2nd—mirror image, 7th—project image.
@Kharn, Argan
About cohorts.
There are some NPCs that can be taken as cohorts if you want it:
There’s the advantage they already integrate into your ‘organization’ minions.
If they don’t appeal to any of you, please tell me and I’ll think of some others;

Right, of course; I was just taking a little creative license with the background :)
My week is shaping up to be extremely busy and I will most likely have to spend most of it away from the boards. Please GMPC as necessary. Sorry for the inconvenience.
That wizard does suits my needs, specially since we will need spells to protect the place.
Did you mean "Kharn" in the second part of your last post?
