The Seer's Journey - DM Downrightamazed

Game Master downrightamazed

Just a quick note that I'll be away for the next couple of days. NPC Kelne as necessary.

Hi. Sorry for the long absence. My masters is taking up way more of my time than I ever really expected. I just can't get online to regularly update lot of online campaigns. So I'm going to have to bow out of this one with great sadness.

Thanks for everything guys! I'll still try and read when I get the chance!

Ah no! So sorry to see you go Tanel. Your PC and the way you played him was an integral and enjoyable part of this team bro. But of course it's also understood that RL always has to take precedence over a game. All the best to ya and hope to see you back sometime soon. Cheers.

Good luck with the Masters. That definitely takes priority. You'll be missed, though.

Good luck man!

Ach, definitely a severe bummer, Tanel, but I can't say I didn't see it coming once you made mention of masters-related busy-ness. Best of luck to you, sir.

Give 'em hell, man!

Good luck, man! Sorry to see you go.

For now we shall sally forth with the four (or five, assuming Karthan is still out there) of you. We'll see if we need another as we progress...

Welcome Gray Moribund, everybody (see the IC thread). Please put any feedback or questions about his build here. Thanks!

hey guys sorry i posted my intro in the wrong thread. still have to work on my skills and such. but i should be ready in a day or two to get moving.

im not really a damage dealer just a all around healer with a good AC.

look forward to playing with you guys.

Hey Welcome Moribund! Fantastic to have you aboard. : D

You build looks good to me, just a couple of little notes.
-I understand your wanting to boost your AC, but at this level at least one magic weapon is kind of essential. Perhaps a little AC dip might be worth it to give a magical boost to one of your weapons?
-Or perhaps the belt of giant strength? If you're not planning to do much combat, is a Str boost necessary?
-You might want to have at least one melee weapon a little more serious than a dagger. (hmmm, we do have a +2 axiomatic hammer lying around, if you could use that. Of course some of our more rogueish party members may be wanting some payment for that ; )

You certainly are a First Class Healbot though! Nice job. Jorzan can be even More reckless now with you around! Kelne will love it! ^-^ heh heh

I'm still here - I was out on a two week road trip. I thought I'd posted in this thread as well.

I'll be catching up shortly.

well the reason i took the belt with str is for a little extra damage and to hit action with my dagger. ever little bit helps. but it when comes to using weapons i was actually planning on using some spells like lesser/geater magic weapon , weapon of awe. I do actually have enough money to buy a +1 simple weapon but i was going to wait to do that in game if possible.

The main reason Gray does not have much for weapons is because well hes a traveling priest/doctor/mortician.So there is an actual RP/IC reason for not having a real weapon. Also most things he fight he can handle with spells alone. I feel once the RP starts up with me and the group. Is when ill have him go buy a weapon, or trade with you guys if possible.

Im more then happy to play the heal-bot for you guys. itll be a nice change from my war cleric i normally play.

Cool. I figured you had your reasons, was just commenting as you'd asked for it. Looking forward to your RP skills being added to our group.

And welcome back K! Glad you're not gone

Welcome back K. Nice to meet you.

The boy waves excitedly as Gray approaches, eager to welcome the new friend.

Welcome aboard, Karthan. And welcome back, Gray.

Wait, strike that. Reverse it.

Can someone give a brief rundown of what's gone on since we zorched the Limbals?

@ Gray Hey there and Welcome! Dantoor is BA btw! This is Min (obviously ;) ) the only suggestion I can think of right now is that you appear to have only picked one domain (Healing from what I can tell) and you are allowed two domains and are allowed to get the domain powers from each of them.

If you were godless, I would have suggested taking the domains Healing and Strength (Upto DRA) of course, and then perhaps not taken the belt of ogre strength and turned it into a better resource ^.^

Either way though if you take the Healing and Death domain you can become a pretty nasty cleric. Being able to bolster your healing spells while simultaneous causing a long lasting bleed effect on nearby enemies. Melee Touch Attacks are fun~

Other then that he looks fairly solid and I agree with you on playing your character to his Story~ Besides you'll find a magic weapon in awhile i'm sure ;). DRA never leaves you hanging as you well know. =)

BTW i'm not much of a Min/Maxer or what ever they are called, I just find certain combinations of domains are fun to play with rp wise.

Can someone give a brief rundown of what's gone on since we zorched the Limbals?

Not much really, yet:

That help? ; )

@Min: Actually I believe Gray's archetype only allows him one domain.

@DRA Oic! I didn't see an archetype listed on the character sheet ^^;

Karthan also found a 'look alike' for someone who shouldn't be here, and will stick with Jorzan, then. They're both stealthy, Karthan has that vest. And Karthan can cast Detect Thoughts if we need to...

Besides, someone needs to bail Jorzan out of whatever trouble he gets into. :)

But of course, what else are friends for? ; )

oh yea i forgot to list Merciful Healer as my archetype but i do have it abilities listed. ill go up date now^^

Dantoor!

Also, I haven't been following quite so closely lately, but did Tanel just commit suicide?

@Min Actually DRA has some of the basic back ground story, a lot of that im still working on. but the ground work is there. Again on the weapon thing, ill be waiting to get one in game from either npc shop or pc trade. from an RP stand point i wouldn't really have much for weapons to start with. Also i'm looking forward to the challenge of not doing as much damage as Dantoor =p ALso the belt is for carrying weight but its also there to help with my to hit and damage alittle for when i do pull out a melee weapon. Also remember theres a pretty good amount of spells i can use to either summon a weapon or make what i have magical.

@Damian: heh yea he poisoned himself with aconite. I offered to save him but he refused.

@ Gray

DRA asked in our OOC thread over at Empire of Mists if a couple of us would take a look at your character ideas and offer a little feedback. I know we have gotten some good ideas or just warm kudos from members of the other campaigns in our game.

I thought I'd throw in that the ultimate combat healer, to me, needs Reach Spell and Precise Shot. Having all those eggs in the channel basket makes me nervous, but you surely know the feats better than I do. I've never even heard of...one of them...the name of which I can't remember.

If this game is anything like ours, there's plenty of need for healing and channeling.

Also, players like to see the other guys' stories in DRA's games, and so a little background, even if tied to Knowledge (local) rolls or something, is a great idea. Gray seems to have this sort of sorrowful past or reluctant hero aura built into your description, and I bet your fellow players will really want to eat that up.

I have long years playing with great gamers, and I'll just say I'm jealous not to be able to game with DRA more often. Welcome to his crazy hybrid campaign and looking forward to your sending some of that healing over to Shoto Imuri when the stakes are, inevitably, higher. : b

Dantoor!

Also, I haven't been following quite so closely lately, but did Tanel just commit suicide?

Tanel is going on a mission to find his True Love, who is in Pharasma's realm.

So; yes.

Thanks for the info steven. Precise shot was actually what i would be picking up next level. As for as the Reach spell feat that isnt something i thought of so thanks for the info on that. i will for sure keep it in mind. I feel that now that im in game and interacting with people its to late for me to retcon anything now. but later levels will for sure have those feats you mentioned.

My background will be coming shortly for everyone to read ive been kind of busy lately.

Playing in DRA's monday night game in this same world is pretty awesome. and its extra cool now i can see what else is all going on. Dantoor and co. and normally locked into a dungeon or something most of the time. =p

Maybe he'll see Jemini while he is there.

Maybe he'll see Jemini while he is there.

Perhaps!

I readily confess I totally stole the idea from you, so, credit where credit is due. *hat tip* It's basically a nifty way for Tanel to reappear should Eoin wish to return.

Here's to hoping he can someday

Chris, do you have an updated list of loot for Karthan to sell off at the magic shop?

Is there anything that anyone else wants?

Kathan wants a Lesser rod of Extend Spell - he's got three daily spells he casts that are one hour per level (mage armor on himself, mage armor on Cassandra, unseen servant) that would become day-longs with one.

Karthan would love to get his hands on a Rod of Widen Spell if we can afford it without shorting anyone else on gear and one's to be had.

This is the most updated list. Once we get a gp amount on everything we can total it and see what everyone's share is. It would be easier to just divide everything evenly but it would also probably be more fair to minus stuff characters have taken as some of us (like Jorzan) have taken more than others.:

Total Cash in Kitty: 676gp
From Stormfare:
A cheap ring, inscription reads: "She Awaits You In The Cold Steppes"

From Tengu:
4 rubies
1 emerald
16 shuriken
3 +1 katana (treat as bastard swords)
3 +1 wakizashi (treat as short swords)
5 daggers
2 compound short bows, +2/+2, with 40 arrows (Jorzan took another 20 for himself)
1 bag of small metal chunks; each chunk is random in shape and very flat and dull in color, though the metal itself gives the illusion of movement.
2 rings; same type of metal as the chunks described above, but have two thin red stripes running through it and around its curcumference. The stripes appear to be a precious stone or metal of some sort, though none of you are able to determine what exactly it is. The two red bands pulsed very slowly while they were on the tengu, giving off a faint light, but ceased as soon as you took it off him. There is no writing, and there are no symbols anywhere on the thing. The color scheme of the ring is similar to the color scheme of the belt of the large ivory-clad man who came to the shore and watched your boat leave.

Two potions of CLW (Given to Cassandra)

Leftover party loot from earlier in the Barrow King's Tomb:
3 suits of +2 dragonscale armor, scale mail, with resist fire 10
2 +1 Keen kukris with Bane (orc)
+2 axiomatic warhammer
Two light steel quickdraw shields

(too bad we can't send the dragonscale over to the Marianasu game as several of them are wanting a set ; )

We need to find a way to catch opponents as they fall out of the sky... we are losing so much equipment to the air... and the fact that the last battle was a smash and dash didn't help.

Well ya, normally we airborne types seem to be in such a hurry. Otherwise we could just land and pick out the good pieces from all the...smush

Maybe a wand of telekinesis or something would help?

We really ought to get somebody to cast an identify spell on those rings, since I don't see it on Karthan's sheet.

By my reckoning, selling off the standard gear at the usual half cost would net us 55,060 gold, or around 9,177 each, divided six ways. Plus whatever the gems are worth. Good for some minor gear, and maybe for some upgraded weapons or armour if old gear is sold off as well.

Alternatively, if anybody has any fairly expensive suggestions, we could pay for those out of the pool and divvy up the remainder.

No offence to our silent friend meant, but are we splitting evenly the stuff before The Boy joined as well? I guess we could just say he's getting that other dude's (the Cavalier? Luc was it?) share

And you mean diveded by five right? As Gray's already level 8 with level 8 cash

Karthan can take 20 on a Spellcraft check while maintaining Detect Magic...

Huh, so he is. Alright, that makes it 11,012 apiece then.

Karthan can take 20 on a Spellcraft check while maintaining Detect Magic...

Is that a feat?

Nope. It's a rules error on my part.

However, Karthan has had several days in transit to use detect magic on them and make Spellcraft checks...

Karthan I'll get to your rod-purchasing spree today; I need to have access to the sell/buy charts and forgot to do it last night. Suffice it to say you will be able to purchase what you want, it'll just be a matter of how much you want to spend. You'll see what I mean...

As for everyone in the Inn, I'll try to hustle Jorzan and Karthan along as best I can. Didn't realize y'all would wait for their return, but I guess it makes sense, given Gray's sudden and suspicious appearance, and the fact Cassandra finds him dubious at best. :-)

@Karthan No offense taken. The boy has only a vague notion of the concept of wealth, and no interest in acquiring it.

Ya I have a similar situation with a wild druid pc of mine, buy the boy will stull need magical gear as we advance sao maybe someone trustworthy, like Justahl, can take of 'gifting' you with cool stuff every now and then

So both Kukri are now off the loot list. Karthan didn't go over his share, so if the rest of you want to do some shopping, this city would be a really good place to do it. You're about to head into some hardcore subarctic wilderness, so...kinda a "last gas for 1000 miles" situation, here.

As long as they have rocks I can load in my sling where we're going, I'm set.

Heh. Just realized I said @Karthan earlier when I meant @Jorzan. You seem to have figured it out. =)
