The Once & Future KingMaker

Game Master Aest

Then I'll implement them now, if that's okay. Thank you! ^_^

I'd like to suggest a national motto. How does 'WE HATE ENCHANTERS AND WILL MURDER THEM TO DEATH!' sound to you guys?

“Heads. Mess With Ours, Off With Yours.”

Lol.

When we get back to town we can work on selling the excess unneeded items and get ourselves more well equipped.

Like the Rapier +1 and such. Lots of stuff can go. I'm also going to start my crafting soon, once im acclimated to the ring again. :/ Try and make money and armor on the side.

I'll do a mock up of what the gp amount will be if we sell what we don't need possibly.

Once we've done the sell-off and made purchases, I want to discuss the best places I can set Warding glyphs to protect our kingdom. I'll program them to activate for trolls.

HAI!

I have the mock up sheet made and im including the items we found in the tower. Minus the locked chest we couldn't open though.

It'll give us an idea of how much we gained once we sell things off. However a lot of that will be gone if we raise sir thomas.

Though since Arctorus doesn't strike me as a leader yet. If we raise Sir Thomas I see him staying on as Ambassador. But quietly retiring from adventuring. Lol up to Arctorus on that one but I see a brush with death once being more then enough reason to step down from such a dangerous occupation. Thus saving us a position to fill.

If we need funds we can also pull a BP out of the kingdom treasury, a justified expense.

I'd like to see Thomas raised, though NPC-fied. He makes an excellent Grand Diplomat, and a fun character to have around.

Mock up sheet complete.

6364 GP
3 SP
9 CP

That's if we can sell it all for 50% and the gems and such for full price.

I included the sale of the +1 rapier as well.

Whatever is left after the sales I will add to the main sheet and start doing it this way from now on.

Furniture is added but not for sale as it is not portable and requires recovery later, with the locked chest.

Playfey has artifact status (jk)

I'll be stepping Sunset down when every one gets back to town. So... like Thomas, share the stuff around acrodingly.

I hope Arabeth will be better at 'Pulling her own weight'.

:/ Again I always enjoyed Sunset. I look forward to your new character but be more focused on fun then weight taking. :/

*Looks at self*

Are you, perchance, saying this dress doesn't suit...?

*Pats hips...*

I will point out to you that Oracles are spontaneous casters. So you don't have prepped spells, but will need a list of known spells (without repeating the same spell) ... and CLW seems to make Infernal healing unnecessary. ;) (Also, as an Evil spell I don't think you'll be able to use it with your alignment. Try Celestial healing.)

I must admit.. IN my 'Home' games the DM hasn't had a problem with the casting of said spell... It does the job better than the sparkly version.

The reason for that spell is that this particular build creates 'Healing bubbles' around other party members wherein half the damage is transferred from the infliced target onto Arabeth.

With every one else in the party so protected... the amount of damage that can acrue back to the oracle is sometimes... extreme. So anything which helps keep the HP total in the positives is a good thing.

I shall abide by the DM's adjudication. *Curtsies*

I'll peruse through the spells and check on not doubling the spontanious cures, though. (^_~)

EDIT: Tweaked the spell list a tad.

HA! XD

I'm sure Seraph will be interested. XD

Thomas, if resurrected, can fall to NPC status if the DM is ok with that. I could still provide RP for him if desired.

Reincarnate only cost 1000gp! (If the group wants to spend the GP to have him raised, I'll allow him to remain as a NPC Kingdom leader, and Thorn can continue to RP for him and his entourage.)

Arabeth - flying and non core race concerns me more than the healing and taking wounds from others. Other items: is there a Kingmaker trait taken, also Special Abilities hero points?

As for treasure, are you turning in the statue for the quest "A Lady’s Desire"?

*Bows befor the DM*

Arabeth is but a humbe creature of Assimar stock.

The 'Hero points' were a left over from the 'HeroLab' program used to generate Arabeth. Gone now.

Trait adjusted to "Orlovsky - noble born"

Arabeth does not fly well... Nor too often... (>_>)

Croft's mastery of the skies is assured for quite a while yet.

Torod would like to. He promised her he would bring something back and he tries to keep his word.

He'll also ask her out. His recent brush with death has made him feel his mortality. and, since he won't stop adventuring, his position almost requires it, but he still has a responsibility to further his line.

I automatically assumed Torod had claimed that statuette. Thus it wasn't added to the loot sheet. Though I doubt it needs to be added to items found ~

Go get her tiger.

Mock Reincarnate roll
1d100 ⇒ 91

Dang I was hoping for elf. XD

Thomas reborn as Legolas! XD

But alas it would be Thomas reborn as Pun-Pun the invincible Kobold. XD

Think I'll get me a scroll of False life, too, once our money's been tallied. Some bonus hp could only be a boon in this job. :p

So we are looking at getting Thomas back to life.

Torod said no on Reincarnating/Raising Strawberry?

Been a few days and now that we have a total of possible treasure return, I thought I'd ask one more time.

I'm unsure how many reincarnate scrolls we can get our hands on in town... or who could cast it naturally? ;/

I can cast it if we can get the scroll. I just need to make the level check, as it's currently above my normal casting-level.

GM Glyn, how long would it be before all the scrolls I'd like to get would be here?
To reiterate, I am purchasing:
Cure moderate wounds, Earthshock, False life, Gentle repose, Glyph of warding, Ice spears, Pierce disguise, Remove curse, Riversight. I'll also need diamond dust to cast Glyph of warding.

It take a week to order supplies from Rosland.

Okay, guys; decision time.

Theoretically, I could cast Raise dead off of a scroll, but it's 6th level and my current maximum level is 3rd. Also, at my current caster level we only have five days to perform the spell, and so the scroll would be too late.
Unless one of the local clerics can cast Gentle repose on poor Thomas' body. (GM Glyn, any chance of that?)

Alternative: we order a scroll of Reincarnate, which is closer to my level and doesn't have the time limit.
Downside; odds are good that Thomas will not return as a human.

Preference?

I always find Reincarnation a fun little wrinkle. The RP conundrum that develops...always fun.

How Thomas, Rodrick, and company react to the result...should be fun. Caster rolls! ;-P

But for fun, if I rolled:

1d100 ⇒ 54

Half-Orc! Hahaha. He’d have been quite displeased by that!

For Thomas I'd say go with the Raise Dead if at all possible. Only go with Reincarnate if time has run out and must be now or never. If we can only afford one or the other, then I still say Raise Dead.

We can afford raise dead for both Thomas and Strawberry.

Raise animal companion is 1k and raise dead is 5k.

So we ask the Clerics to cast Gentle repose and keep Thomas fresh for a Raise dead.

If Torod changes his mind about rezzing Strawberry Deathstrike, we do the same for her.

Just to streamline the process, here is my official caster level check to activate the scroll when it arrives: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
That should suffice. ^_^ Now the rest is RP.

Strawberry deserves her rest in Erastil's home. Besides, raising her diminishes her loss in the first place.

Would you like to hold some kind of service? Maybe a tasteful marker?

Of course. I'd invite all of you to it.

Jhod can cast gentle repose, as needed to give enough time for the raise dead scroll to arrive. Note you might want to get a Unguents of timelessness 150gp at some point.

There are monuments that can be built under building rules.

Asta - you can RP the raising of Thomas the fallen as you would like.

Torod - Lily Teskerten is flirty likes elven things, She has above average dexterity, intelligence , and charisma, lower than average wisdom. It does have her base stats, under the NPC sections, and that her preferred leadership position would be ruler, best as spymaster. So she ambitious, flirty, and likes elven artifacts. If want to RP her and Torod interactions , but keep it PG-13. That is about all the info on her in the book.

We can do the interactions if you want. Torod has high wisdom but low charisma. So he's no fool, but she will be in charge of the relationship. I must say, though, from what you wrote, they don't make the best couple on paper. Though hanging with Torod will give her access to the power players of the country. Oh! With her helping, Torod's regular dinners might finally be good to attend.

I don’t know most couples seem to work best if they balance out each other’s streanths and weakness. I listed what information the book has on her, so she is pretty much a blank slate. I don’t know how much RP vs hand-wave of Lily and Torod courtship is needed. We can flesh Lily out more as a NPC as needed. Right now Lily would be very open to a courtship with Torod.

Ok. Torod will be very proper and gentlemanly. Very much opposite what he was like when he first met Asta btw.

Arctorus won’t always be so sheepish. He just knows how people’s first opinion of him is based on his looks. Once he is actually accepted as part of the nation/city (or in combat), he will be quite a bit more confident.

That's fine, it's actually really neat seeing him tiptoeing around with people. I find the RP rather neat and endearing.

He's an interesting character. :) Rock on!

When next time Level Ups come our way, I’m torn. Should I go Dragon Disciple, or another Bloodrager?

Haha i love Dragon Disciple. I dont know bloodrager enough

Im back online finally. Posting soon apologies for the wait. Internet was completely down.

Regardless what kind of levels everyone takes, might I recommend shooting for Iron will or even Improved iron will?

We need to be better prepared for the next jerk to try enchantment on us.
Any caster who preps and can access Protection from chaos/evil/good/law, please do so from here on in as a standard part of your daily selection. Once we're ready for Communal protection from X, please take that.

I've selected "Protection from evil/communal". :)

And I am grateful. :)
But we need redundancy!

Torod seconded Claming D6 Elk Temple.

Economy roll (Torod) 17+2+24 = 43 / 3 + 4 = +18 bp

This is what I have from the posts, still OK?

I still agree with it.

Agreed.

Temple of the Elk Hex joins the fold... >:)

Sound thinking. We don't want the trolls to suddenly swamp the temple and gut the people's morale.
