Right on. Just trying to bookmark, so's if I have to write something up I can.
What I was thinking was that a few years ago, Myron needed to blow up a particularly tricky target; in preparation, he sent letters to a number of scholars back in Ustalav and asked about particulars of chemistry and that sorta thing. Our professor was the only guy who bothered to write back; once the job was successfully completed, I offered to send him some money to compensate him, but he declined that in favour of an unspecified future service.
That'll work I reckon.
"Ah yes, don't tell me,... Let's see." <Peers intently at Nigel>
"Of course. I can tell by your dress, mannerisms, ego, and the odor emanating from your valise that you are a Purveyor of the Arcane arts, Specializing in the conjuration of creatures, unless I am mistaken. I can also see that your manservant, while well-versed in violent pursuits, is about as smart as a stone."

And here is the very start of a Bard/detective. Haven't even picked feats/traits yet,... gonna be confusing (for me) trying to sort out the usual bard powers he keeps, and what he trades for the 'detective' abilities. What I NEED is a PFRPG PC maker! ;P
Well this is shaping up to be an interesting evening. What unusual people the dear Professor knew. Tell me Edwin, how did you come to be here?
Loox good with one cursory glance.
I like the correspondence angle.

“Summoner eh? Nothing fiendish or undead I hope ...” Castiel pulls aside his armoured trenchcoat to reveal inside pockets holding items such as flasks of alchemists fire, holy water, a silver dagger, a wooden stake and a lawful good holy symbol (Iomedae).
Sitrep:
I've read enough to get my brain cranking some, not the whole mod though; I'm on call this weekend, but it shouldn't be too too busy.....I think I'll try to shoot something up by Sunday night; though if people need more time, I'm cool with that too. I can always read the whole module...
That's cool; I'm kinda tired anyhow's.
I was just acting all big and bad.
I'm no where near finished, and I wanted to try and build 'Oklahoma Bones' as well. (I can't decide which I enjoy more, playing PC's, or creating them!) ;P
I REEELY need to find a PFRPG character maker! Doesn't one of the threads have a decent version on it?
Question, IIRC, as long as you have the correct feat (for example, Scribe scroll) if you make the DC on the UMD roll, (or was it Spellcraft?) you can create the item, even if the bard doesn't know the spell in question, correct? (You use the roll to replace the actual spell needed?)
Somehow, that question Doesn't make sense to me, and I wrote it!
Maybe I'll try tomorrow, when I'm semi-awake,... :(

Sort of, yes. You always need the correct item creation feat as you say. The DC to create the item increases by +5 for every other prerequisite (such as being able to cast the correct spells) that you do not meet (though you can get someone else to cast the spells for you, or cast them from an item). Generally speaking it is a Spellcraft check that is required, though for some items you can substitute some other skill check.
In terms of knowing the Professor, I would suggest he knew my dad (a great hero of Lastwall and frequent patroller of Gallowspire). Dad is recently deceased, and I went to meet the Prof as someone who knew my somewhat-absent dad back in their old adventuring days, to get a bit of closure. Of course, I arrive and the Prof is dead....
"I've got issues, OK?"

My good sir, I only summon manifestations of otherworldly elemental might, quite unencumbered by such epithets as 'good' or 'evil'! Why I belong to The Order of The Pentad, which fights the evil menaces from beyond the grave!
Looks abashed
Well, I am an associate member, probationary...

I should be able to figure something interesting about that...

Sounds about right.
I’m excited about this game and eager to start, but we haven’t seen characters from half the group as yet. Might be worth giving Pat, Kruely and Aubs a bit more time. Maybe they’ll have some time over the weekend.
Agree - I can't wait to start but don't want to rush the busy people. The bits of chat in this thread are enough to go on with.

I am quite sure that no friend of the Professor would disturb the gentle repose of those beyond the veil. That is quite the collection Castiel - have you had much occasion to need such things recently? What have you found most effective?
Well this is shaping up to be an interesting evening. What unusual people the dear Professor knew. Tell me Edwin, how did you come to be here?
"By walking, mostly dear lady. Unlike you, who obviously arrived via carriage this afternoon. From, south of Ustalav if I'm not mistaken?" Edwin replies with a slight, self-satisfied smirk.
"But of course, that's not what you meant. I once had the good fortune to survive an encounter with a most unpleasant and thankfully uncommon creature. The professor interviewed me to learn about it. We discovered a common scientific interest and maintained a professional relationship, sharing information. I was able to help him clear up a couple of minor mysteries during our friendship. Simple really, hardly worth the trip out here, I should have been able to solve them from home. But they disturbed the good professor so much at the time that I felt compelled to assist him. I refused to accept payment for my services of course, waiving my usual fee in the name of our friendship and another opportunity to learn from him. Apparently, he felt that somehow placed him in my debt." The thin man shrugs.
;P
lol it's all good.
Feel free to have your character show up at the pub any time, and converse and whatnot.
When everybody's there at the pub and ready we can bounce with the main course; I'm having everybody en route to the funeral, coming from their respective origin points via coach, and waiting at a small pub for the final Stage to Ravengro.
Anybody can have their "coach" drop them off at the pub at any time and join in the fun.
and, called in to work.
See you guys tomorrow.
What I NEED is a PFRPG PC maker! ;P
Probably a bit late, but I've used this character builder. Might be useful for next time
Wod is almost good to go. Just reading the CC player's guide here.
Just an experiment. Curious; I've been churning out a lot of 20 rolls of late.
Wod is ready.
Let the bloodbath begin.
It's all good; no rush.
I got some things to prep anyhow's, and on call this weekend; either they'll beat the shit out of me or leave me alone.(LOL) Wod's an atheist. Int 7, Wis 7, but....man he's not falling for any of that corny Santa Claus/Opiate of the Masses crap. (JFK--he cracks me up just like Stiggy--"Thug in Heathy's Saltmarsh Campaign."
So, is Wod gonna have a pet that eats guts? Or is Wod a tripe muncher?

He has a dead gnome named George.
This group is gonna be utterly epic. It's already very epic, and there's more epic to come.
Just want to let everyone know that I am updating Wod's alignment to CG to fit in a little better with the paladins around.

Mm didn't think of that. Alinya's LN but will tend towards good if there's enough peer pressure. Stickler for rules though, and expects the authorities to always be on her side.

Castiel’s not a paladin (but at LG and as a cleric of Iomedae he’s almost as bad). I can’t imagine hanging out with some LN and CG types is going to test the friendship too much … I also don’t think having a paladin (or any other standard class or race) in the group should dictate what the rest of the group must or must not do with their characters. I suppose the exception is evil alignment for characters, but my personal opinion is that evil characters should not be allowed without the consent of every member of the group - the standard assumption is that the PCs are the heroes, and if that's not going to be the case everyone should be aware of what sort of game its going to be (not necessarily a bad one, just diffferent).
Havign said that, I do run a paladin in a group that has at different times had two different lawful evil characters, and that sort of worked ...
I see Dr. Doom as Lawful evil.....I think it'd work a while.
Cool....
Kruely's out of China, so I can talk shit about China.
Back in a few. Doorknob fell off; got to fix it now.

F#*&ing China. Censor me. Throttle my internet. Jam my VPN. Block Paizo.

I was CN... but given some thought he's actually CG anyway with just a dash of amoral stupidity.
Just want you guys to know that I've cracked up more than once reading your game thread.
However the obvious question has not been asked.
"Who the Dickens is Edwin Drood?"
and on that note I'll return you to your scheduled programming.
Ah, I knew the name sounded familiar, but I didn't pick the reference. Pity; that would have been a good line.
Yeah, it's a Mystery why we didn't spot that. Just seemed like a good name to me :)
dmheathy/hudak/et al.....disappearing for at least two hours, as apparently my computer has decided it's time for a virus scan, and it looks like it found something allready so maybe it's a good idea to let it do its thing.
Now my wife has a sore throat/fever.....
this is me signing off for the day....too much IRL crap for me to handle to be looking at Paizo every half hour or whatever.
they're all asleep....UGH!!!
