Ruins of Azlant (Inactive)

Game Master Nathan Goodrich

I just now noticed that Arcanists don't begin the day with a full pool of points. She hasn't been using them that much so it wouldn't have affected anything, but ...

Sorry about that.

Yeah... weird that isn't it?

I guess they really wanted to give you the impetus to use the 'Consume Spells' exploit.

In the middle of a busy weekend. I'll get my level up done at the start of the new week.

Same as Ashlyn. Every time I start trying to level up Sarine I find myself wanting to check my notes first to make sure I'm not doing something silly, and I don't have access to them. Let's not slow the game for it though!

If there's going to be some downtime, will there be a chance for Tettia to finish research on her 'keep all my stuff dry' spell?

Once there's downtime yes you'll be able to finish your spell.

I'm liking the idea of Sarine having Blind-Fight as a very minor form of a normal dragon's blindsense.

"No, it it not like a dragon. You should feel the movement of the air against your skin, how it caresses it and changes with other movements around you. This is how you fight with your eyes close," Aurelian mansplains.

Attending a con this weekend. I'll be posting again by Monday. Bot me if needed. Thanks!

I can't do it right now, but we should probably figure out how much we have in trade supplies while the ship is here & make a list of purchases.

For Sarine, her weapon is extremely high grade for this level, but other things are lacking. Jenner's fine breastplate hasn't been enchanted and Sarine doesn't have a Cloak of Resistance or similar bonus yet. Other things would be nice, but those holes in her equipment will become glaring before too long.

Assuming we have the resources, I think Jenner can enchant the armor, so a cloak would probably be Sarine's want right now.

Also, at the risk of being nosy: is Ashlyn missing a L2 spell known? Her character sheet shows 3 but the chart says 4.

Sort of! I learned slipstream at level five, wrote it on the discussion post, but forgot to add it to Ashlyn's sheet.

Do figure out some shopping if you want it - we can assume that the ship will have brought a fair amount of stuff.

So I figured I should go through our treasure, since I've got some time.

Jenner, did you want the +1 seaborne dwarven waraxe (4,165 gp sale value)? I thought I remembered you turning it down, but you've currently got a mwk dwarven waraxe, so this should be an upgrade for you?

Also, who took the ring of swimming? I've currently got the cloak of the manta ray, but hopefully will be able to pass that off (to Tettia?) once my rapier's ioun stone starts functioning.

Things we've got listed to sell (and what we can get in return):
* Quick Runner's Shirt (500 gp)
* Studded leather armor (12.5 gp)
* Shield cloak (500)
* Mwk machete x2 (310)
* Polished coral (150 gp)
* +1 trident x2 (2315 gp)
* Necklace of air adaptation x4 (20,000) -- these could potentially be lifesaving if we get hit by aboleth slime (just in case we come up against one of those) depending how you read it, but I think we can sell. Not sure if it was meant to try to expand the options for PCs/companions, but I think we can sell them.
* Badly corroded breastplate (??)
* Silver statue of Desna in Pharasma's embrace (600), unless Tettia wants to keep it
* +1 seabourne greataxe (4,160 gp)
* longswords x12 (90 gp, I'm assuming Jenner had time to fix them)
* +1 light steel shield (79.5)
* masterwork handaxe (153 gp)
* eight emeralds (200 gp)
* sapphire from body trapped in rock (875 gp)
* dull gray ioun stone (12.5)

And I think that's everything (I updated the loot sheet since the last time that had been done).

Assuming we do want to sell all of those things, that would be 29,957.5 gp, which I'm hoping the GM doesn't mind if I just round to 30,000 gp to make life easy. That's 6,000 gp each (assuming we don't want to throw in a party split, which I don't think we need to do right now, especially if we do indeed have a wand of CLW on order, as Ashlyn thought we did back when we first encounters the echoes of earthfall haunt).

I think a belt of incredible dexterity is probably the "smartest" choice to buy, though I still wouldn't mind getting my swordsmaster's flair. That'd be 6,500 gp total, though.

I still have my masterwork rapier I can sell, which would add 160 gp, but I still need 340 gp in loans if someone's got that available.

Yes, Tettia has the ring of swimming.

She'll also take the silver suggestive statue (although she won't admit she has it. ;) )

That's 120 gp less for everyone then. And I need 460 gp in loans, please.

She'll take the statue as a portion of her share, so no need to reduce everyone else's.

Just for the sake of RP, who's arranging the sale of all the goods? It could be a fun scene. :)

selling the axe, because seaborne is something i already emulate with aquatic combatant and i can make my axe magical.

Sorry I've been so quiet. Kind of hellish week personally. Going to try to get caught up.

I cannot make anything magical yet due ot not having the feat yet for that.

GM, we're waiting on you.

I don't want to speak out of line, but I completely lose the thread of the game when we're going 10 days between posts. Again, I don't want to be a jerk, but I have to admit I find it more frustrating when you're updating other games pretty much daily. I understand that interest in games can wax and wane, but I'd appreciate if you let us know if you're not going to be updating this one.

I'm afraid I completely forgot about this one - RL is busy, which is no excuse I can appreciate.

Update tonight.

Just letting you know I'm busy working towards an important deadline, so my posting over the next week might be spotty. If I'm holding up the game feel free to bot me.

Thanks

Getting itchy to see if Sarine landed that crit!

Happy 2nd birthday for the campaign!

It's Thanksgiving here. I'm taking tomorrow and Monday to spend with family. I'll post again Tuesday if we're moving on by then.

Thanks!

Been clobbered by work and unexpected hospital trips for my mother-in-law, will post today.

Hope it's nothing too serious, GM.

Waiting on you, GM.

Hey Everyone.

Apologies for how long its been. The short and honest answer about why is that I am no longer enjoying this game. This is nothing to do with you guys, you're all great role-players, and everything to do with me. The problem is that once I started worrying about updating then it became more and more of a worry, and so I put off doing it.

Combined with the fact that I know full well how frustrating this must be for all of you, I wouldn't want to be in a game I was GM-ing and I'm really sorry about that. Unfortunately that feeling just makes the whole thing worse and encouraged me to simply avoid the problem and therefore the game.

So, since this is the final fight of book two, I propose to wrap the game up there. If people want to get a new GM in I'd happily hand over the campaign so you guys can carry on, but its no longer for me.

Again apologies. The fight should take a few more rounds to finish so you've got some time to discuss what you want to do.

I'd like to continue in some fashion.

I'd also like to continue. I thought about seeing whether I could pick up another game, but I just don't think I have that bandwidth right now. I'm playing in a couple games by GM Shadowlord and think he's very good; I could ask if he'd be interested in picking this one up.

If not, we could try to post a recruitment thread for a GM, though I don't know how often those are successful (in the short or long term).

I've continued this game because I love my character, I love all the other PCs she's befriended, and I love playing with all of you, but honestly, I have too many responsibilities outside of my play-by-posts that need more attention. I need to fold.

I'd like to be able to continue if we can find a GM. Sorry to see you go, Nikolaus. Also I'd be sorry to lose you too, Ashlyn.

I'm sorry to see me go too, Jenner! Haha. Ashlyn's one of my favourites.

The bad guy was on 5hp when he missed Aurelian so I called the fight - Sarine was going to kill him bloodily, we all know that!

For killing Thanaldhu and saving the colony everyone levels up to 7. You also find on the body [i]+1 glammered leather armor, a mwk light crossbow and 25 bolts, mwk longsword, boots of elvenkind, two bottles of messages, ring of protection +1, a wayfinder with Carver Hasting's name etched into the base, oil of darkness, two potions of cure moderate wounds, dust of tracelessness, a mirror, spyglass and flint and steel.

-----------------------------
I'll leave the thread up for now so you guys can decide what you want to do with the game. It's been a pleasure playing with you all, again I'm sorry that it can't go any further.

Tettia, are you planning to continue with us if we can find a way forward?

If we find a replacement GM, I'll continue.

I'm heading out to visit my parents Wednesday through Saturday. Not sure what my posting opportunities will be there, but I'll try to keep abreast of things.

How do folks want to try to continue?

We can do a recruitment for a GM. We'll be at four players as well. Should we call out for another player?

Yes, definitely.

Any volunteers to write it up?

I can write it up. I'd suggest that we get a GM before we bring another player on though.

I'd assume that we're willing to go with the house rules of a new GM assuming we get one?

Sure. Assuming that they're not going to require us to rebuild our characters to a different spec. :)

I imagine there are limits to what we'd be willing to tolerate. I wouldn't be up for suddenly being ponies, I imagine.

The things I have more in mind are like: what if the GM doesn't want to do hero points or something. The big thing is probably the legacy magic items and maybe feat taxes.

None of our characters are 3rd party or otherwise very crazy. I'm looking at some of the 'GM Wanted' posts from the recent past and the house rules or style of the prior GM are a potential sticking point.

Thanks, Sarine. And yes, within reason, of course. :)

If he/she wants go to back to the feat taxes, I'm willing though I hope they won't want to do that.

I imagine there are limits to what we'd be willing to tolerate. I wouldn't be up for suddenly being ponies, I imagine.

Ponies!!!!

Dibs on Fluttershy!!!!!

I'll just say that house rules are negotiable rather than 'whatever you want'. I'll try to get the post up later today: I want to do some wordsmithing on it.

Interestingly, I realized just now that all of our remaining characters are ACG.

Does anyone have the AP in a form that a GM can use? Removing a financial investment required might help to grease the wheels.
