The Order of Tears (Inactive)

Game Master Choon

None of us have very good charisma though..not sure how well we can keep them on our side.

Efficient dispatching of anyone that gives them (and us) trouble?

In a similar vein as Halsanna's suggestion - be just a little bit nicer to them then the other gangleaders :P?

Noro.. nice? I can try, but no promises

Nicer. It is a relative thing :P

I mean, if Noro beats up anyone that isn't in our 'gang', then she would be nicer to those in our gang then those in others. Relatively :P

Hmm.

The poison they laced the cake with makes people suggestible.

If we simply replaced the cake with a non-poisoned one (or cleanse the poison somehow) and hope they don't notice. Then, somewhere, someone is going to make a really stupid suggestion to someone they think are suggestible. They would look rather dumb ... and if they don't look out, they might incriminate themselves!

Thoughts : )?

Do you have profession baker? Is there a spell to do that? Lets see!

At first I thought 'neutralize poison', but that one is surprisingly high level...

Edit: there's not a spell that does that that we can cast :(

Merp. She didn't want to share whom the cake was intended for? Rude :P

Anyways ... I must think a bit on this all!

Anyone want to have an 'improved connection' or should I look for an NPC =)?

(On that topic, I think we need to deal with the Kittenification of Zayid soon :P)

Awww, late night DM forgot about that! Daytime DM remembers, however, and will post regarding this soon!

This may actually change everything I was planning to do! Not that that's a bad thing.

Zayid - in your two month narrative, feel free to describe a progressive transition to a lycanthrope of the Wererat variety. This, particular strain is slow moving, but powerful, and attempts to remove it magically our via traditional methods fail. You are not yet a full lycanthrope at the two month mark, but you can feel that your time is short. You have not been able to inform Absentia, until now.

So much hate. :)

So much hate. :)

You don't even know. ;)

Mechanically, you sometimes shift into hybrid form involuntarily as the disease rides rough shod over your immune system and you can voluntarily do so if you wish. Voluntarily shifting speeds the disease, however, and you know in your gut that it will be much easier to cure now than later.

You might also be getting weird vibes from Ariana, but we'll let her decide that.

Noro could use a friend that isn't trying to kill her.

Also, I was thinking of Zayid's habit of taking on animal (cat) aspects. : )

Also, Lou is growing rapidly. He grows more majestic by the day, and his eyes take on the color of liquid gold. He takes particular interest in Ariana and Freia's spellbooks and likes to play with them when the mages aren't looking.

Also, I was thinking of Zayid's habit of taking on animal (cat) aspects. : )

Yeah, Zayid was already crazy before this... now having cat-characteristics and rat-characteristics at war within him... oy vey gefiltefish.

This one's gonna take some thought.

@Noro - Freia could use a friend too : )

Maybe Lou's strange behaviour lately is something we could bond over ? Or if Noro wants to join a 'scrap book session'? Tatoo artist are typically quite good at drawing and sketching, so she could probably teach Freia some tricks !

Then I can put my free rank into Craft (Sketch) with good confidence : )

@Lou - Know(Arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Nope

@Spellbook - Freias book is locked when she isn't using it. Poor kitten!

@Zayid - Yeah, poor Zayid did really get a raw deal there :P

But don't worry! Ari knows how to "fix" lycanthropes, right Ari ?=)

Doesn't mean he isn't trying.

Your page margins might be a little rough in places. ;)

@Rough edge - Yeah, I figured as much : )

@Zayid - Yeah, poor Zayid did really get a raw deal there :P

Purge the heretic. Burn the unclean!

Does ari know he was infected? I thought he got bit on the stairs which is why Sri hasn't done much about it.

I could beat it out of him <cracks knuckles>

Over the next couple of months he'll shift involuntarily a few times. If Ari doesn't notice I'd ask for her Were-hunter card. :P

Hm what check would it be to know that wolfabane gives him a second save?

Hmmm. Craft alchemy or Know nature. Unfortunately, the Order doesn't have any in hand because the plot that is rapidly re-writing itself in my head might involve said substance.

Heh. Dam these reality vortexes :P

(I look forward to see what happens, I really do : ) )

Freia... I like that idea, I will be out tonight so will have to brainstorm off-line

just activate that telepathic link and we should be good?

Heh. I'll do my best to get it up :P

Hm..trying to find a Tear previously listed who might have something in common with Ari. Not sure! Possibly Ravalan since he seemed friendly and was an elf? She'd get along with someone who was intelligent or dedicated on some kind of monster-hunting.

Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Knowledge(Nature): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Speaking of post Tears, I really need to update that list in the campaign info. It's badly outdated.

Ravalan would be fine to take and develop. I hadn't found a solid place for him yet.

Ari- you know of wolfsbane and how it works, but not how to craft it. You suspect it will need to be modified for the powerful Wererat strain Zayid is succumbing to.

There is only one solution then.

Lights the bonfires and prepares the silver. We do what must be done.

HP: 1d10 ⇒ 4

6 it is.

Aboki HP: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 6) = 22

Taking 10 to teach him five tricks during the downtime.

@Noro - There. I too managed to write something : )

I'm up for role-playing out a few key moments across the months if you want (montage style!), or just this one and use it a representative : )

@Ari - Freia would be interested to copy the following spells out of your book: Glitterdust, Stone Call & Web. Would that be okay ?

She also has Invisibility in her book, if you want to copy that one : )

Also - could Ariana scribe an Ill Omen scroll for her ? (Freia will provide the spell, as per cooperative crafting [not the feat!])

Freia has ~400gp, so she can cover the ink cost : )

@Choon - Freia might be interested in adding the Alter Self spell to her spellbook. Would that be possible and how much would it cost : )?

I am perfectly ok with youall RPing a, scene or two, but I'll be moving along one the month-posts are all up so they'll have to move to spoilers.

As for buying Alter Self, spells that change appearance and the like are banned within the walks of the Order. Having people running about looking like other people is just asking for trouble, not to mention the security risk. You'll have to look elsewhere for that one. If you discover the spell yourself they won't remove it from your book, but casting it is a sure-fire way to make the Sorrows... Unhappy.

@Spoilers - Spoilers are okay. Spoilers work fine : ) I'm fairly certain Noro and I both have some idea of what happens (hopefully the same idea!), so it shouldn't be too essential : )

@Alter Self - Derp. That is a good point :P

Sorry for the delay on mine. Been finding myself really, really drained these past few weeks and been having a hard time relaxing enough to feel inspired.

Still, I've got a few ideas and hope to have something up before the end of the week. Hate to give that broad a timeframe, but it is what it is -- if you want to move ahead I'll understand.

No worries. My week has started out on the crazy side of "holy crap", but is looking better now, knock on wood.

I should have knocked harder...

I'll update soon. I think we only have Zayid's update left, yes?

Aye. I should let you know that it made it on today's to-do list, but it's #3...

Haha, yep. I'm right there with ya, buddy.

Got #1 done, so now it's #2... :)

Guess what! #2 is done! I'm going to run upstairs and grab lunch, then bring it back down here and work on #3. :)

Cool. As soon as that's up I'll get cracking on the general update.

Nice : )

@Ariana - are you okay with sharing some spells : )?

(see previous post!)

*settles down with a Caesar salad, hot lasagna, delicious-looking garlic bread and tiramisu*

Sounds delicious!

*shakes fist at oven*

fix my food faster dammit!
