The Red Arm of Absalom - Ongoing Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

This is a scenario that will benefit heavily from note-taking as you go. I have started the process with a player handout that is editable by all in my header.

Hmm

Hey guys.

3 things....

1) Lindsey Stirling concert was fun. :)

2) The hell?? I am away for 1 afternoon and evening, and there's 34 discussion and 12 gameplay. :D

3) I've still to update D. to lvl 5.
...and am clueless what to buy, aside from the belt, as Kineticists are less dependant, like casters, on their gear. Maybe a ring or amulet? ^^

and #4) I'll be taking my bit of Irish whiskey Liqueur and do that tomorrow. Good night

Can't go wrong with an Amulet of Natural Armor or a Cloak of Resistance. I'm glad you enjoyed the concert!

I'd shoot for the ring of pro over the nat armor, just straight up better. But even better yet is that cloak of resistance.

Ya that concert sounds great! I need to watch more of her stuff on the youtube.

Updated.

And nice, i'm more durable than our frontliners.
As long as i hit, i can now dish out 3d6+8. :)

Damn that's crazy damage and crazy hp/saves/ac. Seems like that class has a lot going for it.

I'll be out tapping trees today and fishing so don't expect any words of Elven wisdom until tonight.

Yes i'm liking the saves, but even with such mods, we can still suffer with a low base result.

I promised pictures.

So i made a small slide.

Looks like you had an awesome time, D! I did notice the dancers, but I know she almost always dances around she plays her violin too. Crazy, I'd think playing a violin requires a certain degree of precision.

Yes, my aunt was very surprised she could do that.

But she enjoyed it as well. :)

Hmm are there any special missions for Sovereign Court members?

There may be something for you to do... So, is everyone ready? I'm going to assume so.

The Red Arm is always ready!

Thanks for the slide show. Shatter Me is an awesome song. Who doesn't like background dancers?

Oooh... Nice backstory, Uesugi.

Chyro, I also enjoyed the slideshow. I would have loved to have been there with you for that concert! I hope you guys are enjoying your first sight of Thuvia!

Hmm

thanks didnt think it would actually surface hehe

Fishing!

I have 8112 gp at the start of this scenario.

I want to buy these level 3 scrolls :
- Adjustable Disguise
- Air Geyser
- Heroism
- Stinking Cloud
They cost 375 gp apiece.

Okay, sounds grand.

I have not rolled box text yet, mainly because I want to give you a chance to meet up with Silas before the briefing. Besides this way I can give you a taste of Aspenthar before we head off to Pashow.

Flying out this evening for my business trip. I'll do what I can to keep posting during the week but it's likely going to be evenings only.

Have a good trip, Red! Where are you off to this time?

Hmm

Same place as last time, northwestern Ontario, also known as Mr. Peppers' fishing oasis.

Hey Gang, this is our last chance to integrate Silas before Red goes off on his business trip. Please, chat him up. I want to start rolling box text!

Hmm

Holy I've missed so much... I'll get a post up soon, it'll take a while with so much that's happened so far. Long weekend on the ice, beautiful weather, poor fishing. Got most my maples tapped so the sap is starting to roll in, yet another task to complete before getting home!

Go fishin Red!

Welcome to spring, folks.
At least, that's my wife tells me.

By the way, if any of my posts look like gibberish, blame Dragon. I bought some speech to text software last week, and it takes training to get more accuracy.

Wow that sounds like cheating for play by post if I've ever heard it!

"open bracket dice equal sign diplomacy close bracket switch to number mode one switch to spelling mode dee switch to number mode twenty plus nine switch to dictation mode open bracket slash dice close bracket"!

diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

or I can type

diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

It helps with some forum stuff but not everything. And I need to proofread it afterwards.

See! The Dragon program hacked you a nat 20! Nerf!

Longjing, back me up here. Are Dragons overpowered?

Stack some templates on them...sure thing. :D

I remember my 1st melee fight with an undead dragon....'t was not a pretty sight, and a tough fight.
Scythe wielding fighter.

My 2nd time was fighting a big dragon in a module, as a battle oracle.
Likewise as per above, save that i came closer to KO than the previous.

I have yet to face a dragon. Closest I've come was a hydra, which my 4th level fighter pretty swiftly dispatched with a 40 damage power attack great sword crit. Of course, it had been whittled down a bit by some of the others on the team, but come on. 40 damage at 4th level?! That just has to make you smile.

Dragons are sccurrrry! Especially those dracoliches!!

I'm liking where this mission is going. I'll hold off replying to Peppers and Red add some questions. No doubt they will have several things to add.

I feel like we are like Conan slipping into the Temple of Set!

This mission is one of my faves, though the GM Prep for it is intense. Bret and I produced a dozen handouts to give our groups when running it live. I edited my response to Gallix to include a response to Uesugi, so you may want to look back!

Longjing, back me up here. Are Dragons overpowered?

Longjing sprays his cracker breath attack on Sirettis. "How can you ask this when you know me? Of course we're overpowered!"

For tactical purposes, D. can lift a single object weighing 500 lbs, or i reckon multiple objects totalling that, as long as each doesn't weigh more than 100 lbs.

Ya this adventure looks intriguing for sure. It is definitely something Mr Peppers will have issue with though by nature, I'll have to figure out why he wouldn't outright refuse. "This is not a worthy cause for a Pathfinder such as myself!" Isn't likely going to work.

I'll think about it and post in a bit.

Oh Gallix definitely has no issue with some light larceny, especially if it's "for a good cause"!

So corrupt I saw how you tried to make it big in Saringallow off of the misfortune of that merchant? His skin wasn't even cold and you were trying to get a share of the pie and move on up!

You don't want to know what happens when you steal a bottle of elixir you'd wished the demon ate you!

He is quite the moral barbarian if I do say so myself.

Pssh! I was just trying to "help"! It was all for "the city"! Hey! Who keeps on adding these quotation marks?

I prepped Enthrall against Wormgnash and the mansion. That wasn't a good fit, nut it may work wonders here.

Now I wish I took the disguise hex.

I have numerous non lethal options now and have a wand of disguise self, alas I have no ranks in bluff to assist it but /shrug. I may beg a daily charge of endure elements from Senor Gallix so I don't have to spend a precious lvl 1 spell slot on it. Mr Peppers doesn't enjoy sweating.

PS Gallix:

40 damage at 4th level?!

Its even better doing it at level 1! Mort and his silly greatsword! BuA didn't stand a chance! Neither is the Fallen Fortress so far. It'll be interesting to see how that character scales, but so far at level one he's about as much as you could hope for.. damage, to hit, and skills!

Though he needs a yellow genie to yank his webs loose and provide him cover against itty bitty spiders.

[You ain't never had a friend like me]

:D

HAHA you related to Genie from Aladdin? You like his green cousin or something?

Oh my goodness... I'm so behind. Please bot me if it becomes needed.

Don't worry! You still have time to ask questions!

Meanwhile, I'm off to Aikido! See you all tonight!

Nah, i'm just his martial counter part, same friendly attitude though. ;)

And i'm a warm yellow, with a shade of bright apple green.

2500 post! I win!!

No worries Red, I assumed you'd be stuck bored in your motel room needing some light reading to keep you occupied. The Red Arm has come through for you. You can thank us all later! And of course the fine GM HMM as well!
