The Red Arm of Absalom - Ongoing Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

Thanks D. and Gallix!

As an update went to the hospital around 12 AM but we got sent home cause the doctors feel my wife hasn't dilated enough. Got home for 4:30 AM and now back at work. Early day for me I'm going to go home and sleep in the afternoon.

Invisibility huh......

Quickly, switch to heat vision.

Uesugi has confirmed via text message that his daughter, Sohvay Alina Moana, was born 3:59 AM this morning. Congratulations to him and his wife!

He has also confirmed that you may now invoke his botting protocol. BZZT BZZT *CLUNK*

Woohoo! Congrats Uesugi!

Congratulations, Uesugi! Welcome Sohvay Alina Moana!

Hmm

Woo! Welcome to Sohvay!

Hey folks! Just want to let you know that the move is happening this weekend, so posting will be very limited if it happens at all. Please active Gallix-bot as needed.

Have fun, who doesn't like moving? Ya I know, poor joke... moving sucks.

Good luck on your move, I hope it goes extra smooth.

+1 to that.

It's usually bit by bit, unless you have a lot of time on your hand.

Yep, good luck with the move. I downright loathe moving, so much so that the condo we rented was the same one we ended up buying when the landlord decided to sell. Moving involved signing a few sheets of paper :)

You guys feeling brave enough to take on the leader oni, a group of 7-8 subtier enemies, next round? ;) It'll be worth 2 successes instead of 1. It's entirely optional since I can just keep feeding you 5-6 enemies (or lower).

As a fyi to the others, before they scream oni leader.....

Those are in the category for higher tiers to tackle.
Now IC D. would love the slaying of something big, but ooc i'm wondering -if-. :)

Expending additional resources isn't something I'd prefer to do at present, but if the rest of the group wants to that's fine with me.

Red: That's a perfect way to get past moving!

Okay, I'll lean towards not throwing tougher enemies at you for now unless more of you say otherwise.

Oh - and it's that time again where I need the following details:

Faction wise: While adventuring in an area strongly connected to an element (e.g. a volcano, deep under the ocean, or an Elemental Plane), attune that area to Zarta's extraplanar ritual. You can attempt this attunement once per region by spending 10 minutes and attempting a Knowledge (arcana or planes) check with a DC equal to 15 plus your character level.

May I do Zarta's Ritual here?

SPLOOSH

Hey folks! Looks like I didn't miss too terribly much today! Glad the timing worked out okay. The move is progressing nicely. We moved over most of our small stuff today, but still have a bit more to finish up on that front tomorrow. Monday we're renting a moving truck to get the rest of our larger furniture items that wouldn't fit in our vehicles over here.

On the bright side, we were able to get our internet service set up at the new place, so I should be able to post at least once per day, probably in the morning before we get started for the day or in the evening after we wrap up.

In the mean time, here's the info you requested Red!

Yay, we survived! I'd like to formally get a count for who wants to play in 5-09: Traitor's Lodge so we can get started soon and squeeze this one in before Gameday starts.

Red is taking a break.
Hmm is preparing for various cons as well as Starfinder.
I can't play Sirettis while I'm GMing!

Everyone else is in, yes?
Mr. Peppers
Gallix
Uesugi
Sir D arthraven

and I'll be the GM. Did I get that right?

Alright guys, that's a wrap! Thanks for playing!

Your Cosmic Captive Chronicles

I have not yet reported the table just in case there are any errors. Please review your chronicle and let me know if you find any mistakes.

Sirettis & Uesugi also get to check both boxes off for these Sovereign Court goals:
Resolve an encounter with a genie through diplomacy, trickery, bribery, or a similar tactic. If you convince a genie to provide you with a non-corrupted wish (as detailed in a scenario), you can check both of this goal’s boxes.

Yup if you think we can get it done ok before gameday starts and you'd like to run it then Mr Peppers is ready and willing. Are you planning on getting more players or just the 4 of us.

I also know nothing about the adventure, maybe I should look up the abstract.

Three second ninja! Best yet! Great game Red, as usual. I'll take a peek at the Chronicle then edit this.

Edit: Just that 5PP spent instead of 6 like I mentioned. Everything else looks great! And lots of gold... GOOOLLLDDD!

Thanks Red! I had a lot of fun, although Sirettis will need to figure out how to be useful against constructs and the undead.

Mr. Peppers: Yes, the 4 of you will do. The fewer actors we have the faster it will go.

Dropping in quick:

Red and others great game. Thanks Red for filling in that info for me. Cant wait to see how much gold!?

Sirettis yup Im game for the game. We'll be using this thread still for your game?

Gallix glad to hear move went smoothly man!

Yes, we'll start later tonight. I'll drop a trailer post in a few hours just to get the theme going.

Dropping in quick:

Red and others great game. Thanks Red for filling in that info for me. Cant wait to see how much gold!?

Buy that GD adamantine blade already!

Your Free RPG Day Boons are also up in the same folder. They do not have a character name on them as they are applied after being used, so it's on you to add that information in once you use them.

Mr Peppers blew his cash on... Belt of Con +2. I always feel in danger of being insta-gibbed. It added a whole 6hp... I still feel dangerously low in HP but its a start. Level 8 brings my Con from an 11 to a 12.

The choice was that or a lesser selective metamagic rod. I'll save on the rod and get maybe the one that goes up to level 6 spells later... then I can fireball or lightning bolt with reckless abandon.

As one of your main front-liners, let me express my appreciation for saving up for a selective metamagic rod. Haha!

I'm probably gonna be slapping an enchantment on my mithral cestus as I mentioned before. Now to decide which one...

Ya its on the horizon for sure. It also is good for civilians :)

Ok so I guess I'll be holding off on adding that enchantment to the cestus. Apparently I've been misunderstanding the rules on adding special abilities since I began playing the game. Haha!

From what I've read, it sounds like adding a +1 special ability to my +1 magic weapon would cost 6000gp, the difference between a plain +1 magic weapon and a plain +2 magic weapon. Is that how everyone else understands the rule? I'm trying to get Gallix updated for Chadius's game, but this is kinda getting stuck.

Yup, you pay the difference between +1 and +2. I'm assuming it already is +1.

Happy Monday, coming to you from home thanks to a local Holiday :)

Weather is a pleasant low 70s today with some clouds and IF we're lucky maybe a shower or two tonight. We need some rain!

Boston will be rainy for the week, have some of mine.

Yes, you pay 6000 for the difference between +1 (2000) and +2 (8000) weapons.

Ya wish that rain would get our way. Lack of rain is ruining my mushroom season!

This game is now reported!

Hmm

Cool. Thanks for the clarification! Guess that means I'll be waiting a bit to add that special ability. Maybe by the time we hit level 7...

Thanks for reporting, HMM! Great work on overseeing the special!

We had a fair bit of rain last part of last week, but the weekend was sunny and warm. Definitely appreciated the clear weather for the move, though we could certainly use some more rain out here as well to help keep off all these forest fires we've been having.

I am glad that you guys enjoyed my Overseer posts. I tweaked most of them to make them fun! Drandle Dreng was not on the original expedition, but his inclusion in my version allowed me to offer some humor and flair to Sorrina's myriad appearances! It also let me give that plug for Starfinder at the end!

Hmm

The more Dreng the better, in my opinion!

As far as Starfinder goes, I'm getting ridiculously excited for the release! I've already got a few character concepts I'd like to scope out.

Dreng definitely is an enjoyable character, adds in some funny elements. The overseer posts were definitely enjoyable to read.

As for Starfinder I guess I really haven't thought about it much at all! I should change that sooner or later.

It'll help when the product has actually been released I suppose.

I have a preview copy because I am GMing at GenCon. It <THIS STATEMENT HAS BEEN REDACTED. THANK YOU FOR USING ABADAR CORPS>.

Hmm

Wha-a-at? Only two posts in Gameplay this morning? Y'all are slacking. SLACKING! Hurry up! I don't want to be late to the party we've been invited to in Solstice Scar. I have to have someplace to wear this nifty emerald green nobles outfit!

::cracks whip!::

Move it! And I mean it!

Hmm

Yes, ma'am!

Hey D, do you want to post into the thread? I'll assume Uesugi is coming along.
