The Walking Dead of Golarion, by GM Fiendish

Game Master Fiendish Zen

I think our only current option is going below and finding something down there that will help us, if we don't everyone will die. Euron believes our key to survival is below.

Lives is with Euron. Lets get everyone into the main keep, bar the doors as much as possible, and let them deliver a baby and hope for a miracle while we race downstairs and try to figure it out.

I am good with getting everyone below. Everyone we can that is.

Just so you know, I won't be very active this week end.

just to give you a head up, I'll be on vacation for the two first weeks of August, without my computer, so I won't be active.

Just to let you know guys I am away for the weekend. I will be able to post but it'll be on my phone so will be limited

FYI - I am headed for Gen Con in the morning and will be mostly absent from the boards until Monday.

Sorry Euron...Lenneth is just trying to be practical here. When/if she dies at some point, the party is certainly free to pillage her corpse for useful items as well!

On a more serious note, let me echo my thoughts from the Gameplay thread - well done to both Euron and Lives. Though I do kinda hate that mellowgoth has lost 2 PCs in such a short span of time :(

BTW just a heads up
I should be back end of august
then moving and renovating is over

Excellent roleplaying and a sad exit for two great characters.

Good job guys.

Good to hear from you Azmerai; looking forward to having you back with us in a few more weeks!

Strip me before i'm even cold :P But that's ok i understand, i think it was a fitting end for Euron broken soul wanting anything to repay what he did. While it doesn't make up, it was maybe the reason he was spared and given the gifts he had.

I think so too! That's partly why Lenneth's reaction is less grief-stricken here than it was when Polo died; she knows that Euron has found peace and some measure of redemption.

Not to hijack this but I have opened recruitment for a Carrion Crown game HERE if anyone is interested :)

Heh - just posted in your recruitment thread a bit ago. Didn't realize it was you...

'Tis I! Yeah, I saw. Thanks dude.

Anyway, how we getting through this wall?

I dunno, Lenneth doesn't have ranks in Linguistics and based on that Perception roll she may or may not even see that there's a wall there!

Hi all. Back from Gen Con and getting caught up on life in general. Work demanded I get caught up there before I got caught up on my games but I am almost there. BUT I read the discussion thread here first and now I do not want to read the gameplay thread. :(

Here goes...

Not to hijack this but I have opened recruitment for a Carrion Crown game HERE if anyone is interested :)

I'd love a chance to play in one of your games JZ. I am currently playing this AP and am in book 3. Is that a problem? The first two books were fantastic. We lost our DM after that and a new DM was gracious enough to step in, but we have regained our momentum there yet. I am certainly not giving up but its not quite the same.

I love the AP and believe I can both keep player knowledge separate from character knowledge and keep up with your posting requirements. Plus I am happy with any role and would be ok with you asking me to fill something that is missing. Thoughts?

Still here, but I think I'll wait for Valex's post so that Lenneth can respond to both it and Flynn's scouting report in (hopefully) one reply. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Sorry, all - my availability will be sporadic until Sunday or so. Please bot Valex as need be.

Slowly back, got a lot to read...

Delayed, but welcome back Lachen!

Before we get too much farther, we should distribute what we picked up from Brae and Radek earlier:

*A ring of twisted silver wrapped around an onyx gemstone of deepest black (Ring of the Withered Heart: wearer can cast vampiric touch once per day, +2 circumstance bonus to bluff rolls when deceiving someone)
*+1 Shocking Mace
*A small (locked) black box
*+1 Longsword
*Amulet of Natural Armor +1

Lenneth doesn't need anything in particular, though she might take that ring if no one else wants it. Unless one of us has Disable Device, we may need to ask Whisper if she will open that box for us (if we dare).

Random thought - Between Indigo, Skyfall, and now Cyn, we've got quite the little zoo going! Now we just need someone to show up with a wolf companion or something :D

Lilith too would take the ring, though the bluff ability would be lost on her. In truth the ring might be better used by a melee type. It would only encourage us casters to get into melee. "Its a trap!" :)

Flynn is too small to use either of the weapons. The only thing that would really benefit him is the amulet.

I could use the amulet, the sword, the mace, the ring, and the box.

Thank you for all these gifts!^^

Valex could use the sword, but if Lachen would prefer it, take it.

Sorry for the delay folks, RPG Superstar stole some of my time then I had connection issues last night. You are awesomely keeping the interaction going though it's great!

Update tonight!

Dammit I missed it twice now!!! :///

Looking forward to the update. Fiendish. In the mean time can we get this box opened and hand out these items. They might make a difference in the next fight.

Here is what I am thinking - Long Sword to Valex, mace to Lachen, Amulet to Flynn and ring to either Lenneth or Lilith. We might could even share it, depending on who is doing what. Or maybe what is in the box will help us decide.

Whoops, I keep forgetting about the box! Yes, let's see if we can open it or maybe get Whisper to open it for us. As far as the items go, that's fine with me. I'm happy to let Lilith keep the ring for right now if she likes :)

Aw Flynn :(

I'll remind you next time :)

So Lachen, please let me know if you think Lilith is being unfair about her observations on your character. On the one hand she is suspicious of you, but on the other I am recommending the party give you the 8000+ gp weapon. :)

A bit unfair, but Lachen doesn't like you anyway..^^

Lenneth, I am going to record the ring on my sheet for now, but depending on who is doing what we can pass it back and forth.

FYI - I am traveling for the next week and will be back home on August 30. I'll have limited posting until then, but I should be on some. And after I get back I am headed to Dragon Con on September 3 and will likely not post between the 3rd and 7th.

Along those lines, I am travelling from September 2nd to the 13th. I should still have decent access, but don't hesitate to bot me if i am slow. There will be at least a couple of days of fairly lonf flights.

Safe travels you two and Lilith, I hope you enjoy Dragon Con when the time comes! :)

Stay safe and enjoy!

Just to say loving the interplay, well done :)

I just hope I'm not too crude. But I like the interaction with Lenneth.

If Flynn survives his reckless scouting and wracking guilt over Lives' death, he'll probably be upset to see Lachen and Lenneth's fledgling relationship. Which is hopefully only going to make for more interesting RP :)

better for you if you don't survive so.
That will spare you much angst ;-)

No. I'm taking this world back, one zombie at a time.

Flynn is just going through a funk over the death of his friend, it's been less than 48 hours after all.

Peeking in to say that I'm enjoying this as well. This is certainly not a direction I expected things to go in, but sometimes the best RP comes from those little surprises or the party going off the rails in the case of more structured games like APs or modules!

For what it's worth for Flynn...Lenneth actually does like him as a person better than Lachen, but right now she's having a hard time arguing against Lachen's points on how this dangerous new world operates. Not to mention Lachen's actively making moves and Lenneth can't read minds. Though I will say that *cough* nothing of his is going up Lenneth's butt, trident or otherwise! :P

Also, I generally don't offend or shock easily and I thankfully have no personal reasons to find mentions or allusions to rape, abuse, or other graphic violence upsetting. I do feel that such things shouldn't be bandied about lightly in these games, but so far I don't think that anyone has been offensive with anything and I think they can be appropriate when used for the right sorts of games. Like the Razor Coast game I'm in on the forums, where...

Needless to say, I don't object to more 'mature' themes in a game if appropriate. The only real rule/preference I have is that if things head in a steamy direction with another PC or an NPC, that a fade-to-black is invoked :)

Now, it's time to get some sleep as well as ponder a Lenneth reply post... ;)

Lilith will actually be happy for both Lenneth and Lachen if they develop a relationship. BUT she is so gonna take Lachen down if he uses or abuses Lenneth in any way. >:) Lenneth has a sister watching out for her. And this sister can drop people in pits.

Her thinking includes relationship = Lachen acting more in the interest of Lenneth and the group than just for himself.

Believe me Lenneth, there are RP reasons Lachen dubs himself "the childless one". ;-)

If you can't read minds, remember you can use Sense Motive, Lenneth.

and while I'm at it, may I point to the fact that you have a box to open and Lachen told you he was good at jamming mechanisms? :-)

(I like to put some hints in my RPs, but they can be lost in the walls of texts I post.)

Whoops, forgot to mention the box! Lenn will ask him about it later, hehe. Regarding Sense Motive, that's true...though I admittedly feel weird about forcing opposing skill checks on other PCs without a bluff roll on their part first. We'll see how it goes though :)

Re: childless - I'm not sure if I should be amused or flee in terror :O

Maybe flee in amused terror? ^^

"Childless": I'm not doing it for "shock value", anyway. As I said, I have my reasons, RP-wise

Wow, I noticed that so far, already FOUR of my posts as Lachen were favorited.

I must be doin" something right.^^
