The Way of the Wicked-Evil Ascends! (Inactive)

Game Master Yuugasa

I'm on the road using my phone for internet. My post are likely to be shorter and less often. Please bot me if required.

I was checking back to this page periodically, looking for a link to the game... when now I realize it's on the tab at the top, /facepalm. Holidays been busy as well, if you still will have Grip I can get an RP post done tomorrow, I've not made characters on here, and still can't figure out how you all put your stats above your avatars and what not, if there's a tactic to creating a character on this site, or a guide somewhere I could easily transfer over from Mythweavers.

Anyways, Merry X-Mas and take care

@Spazztick-it's all good, join when you are ready.

And Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry xmas
Not sure if people need time to react to some things or are waiting for me to move along. Let me know.

Go ahead and move forward, at the moment the veil is in your hands and the other PCs don't even know of it.

The game is pretty slow right now (not the best speed to start a game off at but it's the holidays, oh well) and I am leaving tomorrow to spend three days at my mother in law's (yay?) where I may not have internet access, but after new year's when I'm back we should be able to get this game moving at a good pace.

Overseas for 16 days. Probably won't be able to post. Feel free to roll for me or ignore me until I get back.

I hope things will speed up again. It has been a while since everyone posted. I thought I gave enough openings for others to interact about.

Alright, I'm back, sorry for the delay, let's get this show on the road.

FYI after a tiring day at work I just spent the last 5 hours in the ER with the wife.

she is being admitted then after detox on to rehab.

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.

Sorry to hear it man, take your time and take care.

In regards to treasure, keeping track of it and dividing it, I typically rely on the players to do so and trust them to distribute it as fairly as possible among themselves.

However as this is a new group of players for me if you guys would like me to be more directly involved in treasure management we can talk about that.

I'm back. It'll take me a little to catch up on what I've missed. I'll post something in the next day.

Is it possible to have a bleached gnome or bleachling? It would be interesting. There are stat changes and things but I just really want the flavor itself.

will catch up tomorrow, had a very long day and the car broke down and to top it off I was stuck walking in the ice and snow.

all better now, made it home and car is running for now. need to get it to the shop in the morning.

I'm cool with there being a bleachling=)

Ah, that sucks Edward, I've had similar experiences in the past.

What about an Aasimar for a servant Yuugasa? Damien would relish the irony of having a someone of angelic persuasion serving his will... otherwise just an attractive human will work fine for him.

still need to think of a servant.

maybe just some minions

Hey Yuugasa-

Been meaning to ask this since the start of the toad-combat.

I must have overlooked the way you were running combat during character creation. I like it! But I chose to take Improved Initiative as a feat which is pretty useless for this combat style. Would you mind if I chose something else?

Sorry 'bout that.

Got to thinking about it cause I'm about to choose his weapon and all. Thanks.

Sure, go ahead.

Yeah, Improved Initiative doesn't do anything here, go ahead and swap it out.

Sure, go ahead.

Great, will post shortly. In addition, I've made the following purchases:

All told, leaves Damien with about 7.5g left over.

Sorry it might take me 48 hours to work out equipment. I'm in the middle of a convention and rather sleep deprived.

Nice work Annabelle... say Yuugasa, I started working on Damien's NPC, but just to be clear - these NPC's are going to stick with us for the near future, and not just at the manor?

Yes, they are permanent minions.

Johann's things!

Just checking in before work. Working on my gear - almost done. Should be able to post tonight. Digging this part of the story and seeing what everyone is choosing. Good stuff!

Be back tonight.

Going to make a slight change... rather than purchase a MW Shield and Noble Clothes, I'll just get a regular shield 200g towards Sleeves of Many Garments, and pocket the rest; Johann found that little gem, I think would be quite helpful in the future.

Hey Yuugasa, I was traveling Friday and have been largely covered up for the last couple days by work. I'll get a post up here in a couple minutes IC, but I wanted to apologize for my lack of activity.

Edit: And apparently I must make a liar of myself already. I am called to a social gathering. I shall post this evening when I return. Probably within a couple hours. Gives me some time to think on a servant anyway.

Alright, flavor post up. Will update sheet with loot sometime in the morning.

Alright, finished up the servant. For the sake of character design, I have assumed Yuugasa that they get one trait like our players did, though I also selected additional traits for her feat.

Anyway, you can find the crunch here. Basically, I had her go with a variety of complimentary skills, as well as some contract and legal background since she would be considered bright among the servants here, and this is Asmodeus after all.

Not trying to slow the game down but I'm going to give everyone another day or two to work on stuff and mess around. If you aren't done selecting treasure, etc by the time I move things forward it's fine, just work on it as we go.

Equipment listed on character sheet (although I haven't updated AC etc.) I paid 5gp for some vampire blood as I couldn't find it listed anywhere, happy to pay more if you want (really just fluff to justify his mutigen).

Nah, it's cool 5gp is fine in this case.

Would you guys like me to move forward nowish or should we roleplay in the rooms a bit more? Also you guys can visit each others room and rp if you'd like to, you don't know each other all that well yet, might be fun and a good idea.

Probably not a bad idea, there hasn't been a great deal of character interaction at this point... that said, maybe set a deadline Yuugasa to move on with the plot?

Seems like a good option. Another good option if people wanted to move along some 1 on 1 interaction (assuming Yuugasa was ok with it) might be doing a few real time scenes on AIM, IRC, or something (the doing some basic formatting and reposting here).

In my experience that can go a lot further in terms of building PC relationships with some speed.

Just a thought though.

Hey all lots going on will get my act together tonight.

Yeah, let's do some roleplaying between PCs and try to establish relationships a bit and see what friends, rivals, lovers etc. naturally pop up, it will give me more material to work with in customizing the game and form a foundation for the party a bit better.

I think Saturday Feb 7 is a good deadline to move the story forward and it gives plenty of time for any finishing touches to minions and treasure.

Is Ignace OK for my minio?

Yep

How do we play it? Bluff / Sense motive / Intelligence checks?

Good question. Maybe opposed checks for Bluff and Sense Motive, the winner gaining a +2 competence bonus to the final opposed intelligence check?

Do what ya like for the contest, an opposed Int test would be sufficient in my eyes.

I like that Damien.
We both roll bluff and sense motive. both could give the winner a +2. Then an intelligence test with either 0, +2 or +4 bonus.

Sounds good, I'll make my rolls and response.

By the way, if you're trying to imagine what Damien looks like... here is a pretty accurate reference if you just swap the spider pendant for an Asmodean one.
