The Root of All Evil

Game Master Edward Sobel

OK I said I was going to advance today but....

I am at work (putting in a 14 hour day) attempting to call home all afternoon with no answer.

I am fearing the worst of course. finally at 8pm my son answers, Wife went back to the emergency room today. now its too late to get any more info.

I don't know what the heck to do right now.

I get done work in 30 min.

And of course after telling me mom is in the hospital I ask which one? he answers I don't know I just got home. and whats for dinner?

I was like seriously? I am at work all day and your mom is in the hospital and you ask what's for dinner?

Oh wow. Don't worry about the campaign at all. Don't even think about it.

RL comes first,
I'll be praying for you bud.

And now for some reason Mickey has a Russian accent in my head. -_-

I like this.
It feels like a real dnd game.

Short actions that get a point across as opposed to pages I have to read. It's a nice change of pace.

I'd also like to point out the fact that this feels like a real adventure path with how well it's made.

Thanks magic It is a slower pace but I hope to keep it going.

I will open recruitment once this part is completed for a skills type.

Sorry for not posting, I'm feeling kinda sick...

I've figured out one of the reasons why Mickey kind of sucks. He's so protective of Premi that he never really gets to do anything combat wise. There's a small bit of description that's happened, but outside of that, he's hardly been in play at all. To the extent that people forget about him.

I feel that at this point it might be better to just use the strength(ferocity) domain instead.

After how things have gone, making this switch hardly even touches continuity.

Luke 2:10-11King James Version (KJV)

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Merry Christmas! ^_^

Merry Christmas and happy holidays all

So, update.

Apparently I have chosen the worst possible archetypes and feats to optimize druid/monk, according to a guide I found.
So there's that...
Still going to keep on trucking and trying to make the best of what I have.

Would anyone mind if Mickey got the ring of animal friendship?
He seems like the most likely candidate.

What archetype of monk do you have anyway?
As to the ring I don't personally mind

Monk of the four winds.

I love that archetype.

I do too, but apparently the monk/druid guide doesn't. XD

Then go with what's fun :).
Though you should put your class features on your profile
One shouldn't have to ask your archetype unless you're in an evil campign and are delibritly keeping secrets from your party.

question to all...after this dungeon is complete do you want to continue or not..

sometimes I get the vibe that this game isn't much fun.

sometimes a little dialogue is nice as well. ya know like offer ideas, get to know your teammates, share a story or two.

that helps build character and maybe helps me personalize the story more for the characters instead of just forcing the scenes.

I'm all for continuing, though I'm curious as to the direction this will go when we leave the dungeon though.

Mickey is just quiet. That's just who he is. :(
Mostly relying on memories to convey things.
IL try and start making him more interesting, but I don't want to suddenly make him really talkative. I'll try other ways to convey things.

well there are already two options so far.

first is the hidden cave that the lizardmen as well as hints from Lisstte talked about, and felix has a part of a map that could be a treasure map or something else.

also I will have to find out what you guys already discovered to make sure you have all the information you need to move on.

In the meantime, is switching his nature bond alright?

Magic...what to you want to switch it to?

also reviewing the journal info I posted in the Campaign tab that should be good to get you started on the next step.

along with info you recently discovered. maybe some more questioning of the Lizardman or meeting with the other Lizardman clan could get more info.

Hmm glowing treasure...
well, +1 swords have a 30% chance of being able to glow so hmm 70+ means it does glow on command as the spell "light" 1d100 ⇒ 92
It seems it does, if this is ok with the DM,
It work's thematically though, a paladin's weapon glowing I mean.

I read that recently.
It isn't on command. It's always, any time it's drawn and the weapon can it be concealed.
Also, we have the ball thing that's made to give off light...

Posted it up thread. The Strength Domain(ferocity subdomain). I just feel like Premi is getting lost in the shuffle. This'd be more beneficial.

I think the ball thing might be what's needed here.

ok Mickey go ahead but please ...are you keeping Reeves I really like him...

Ya. Keeping Reeves.
Wish there was an easier way to make him a familiar. :/
Reeves is easier to keep out of the way and wouldn't be helpful in combat anyways.
As it were, having an animal companion was just not good spending of recourses. Especially when he does have Reeves.

At third caster level you could take "obtain familiar" though it's third party so you need DM approval.

OK Conner: I totally forgot to answer you about the sword and glowing bit. the sword you have is a special sword and it does not glow at this time. it does increase in power as you level though

(you do have the rune sword that requires you to be missing a finger to wield, correct?)

I do, yes

just to note that the next several days are going to be real...well frankly pretty crappy.

I will do my best to keep up with stuff and post when I can but I want to preemptive apologize if I become short with people.

I really don't want to go into details in a public forum so please just take my word on this.

RL comes first

Praying that all goes well for you.

Yeah best of hopes and well wishes to all of you for 2015

Yosh!

Just waiting on tat to either play rock-paper-scissors or just go in with Mickey or whatever. then I can play that part out.

Just an FYI, there are two rooms left after this and one of them will require a week's worth of excavation. I can just summarize the final room you have access to as it is pretty simple (no combat planned)

the Umberhulk is easy to avoid if you want. It just wants to be left alone anyway.

Mickey and Tatsuo could go in together if they want and I'm fine with a summary of the last two rooms.

Hmm Conner would want to choose a pacifistic option if he could, but would also want him to either be out of here, or controlled to a greater or lesser extent, corralled would be fine
Not sure how we would do that though hmm.
Edit: just to be clear I'm talking about the umber hulk.

I believe he and sora are going first.
I want to see if it'd separate Mickey and Reeves.

I have been at the hospital ER for the past 5 hours (plus work all day.

unfortunately I need some sleep. I have been emotionally and physically drained these past few days.

I am sorry about not really posting, but my head just is not in it tonight.

No worries. Take your time.

Everybody chant it with me
RL COMES FIRST

I wouldn't be expecting you to post at all if that's the case.
