The Way to a Dusty Death (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

I think we'd benefit from a full caster of some sort, just so we're not super outclassed magically ... The bigger thing is to figure out what you'd like to play and be excited about... We can adjust our tactics and loaf up on curing wands as needed.

I will say that Tribute's been hinting that undead-blasting channels would be very useful...

We can wait some -- I agree you should play a character you like.

Do we want to wait for GM Bloods new campaign to get off the ground?

I for one enjoy playing more than DMing. So it is no problem for me.

I'm good to go whenever.

I guess we're waiting for the other campaign to start, then?

I posted the beginning of chapter 2.

We can go with Glumly if Tirion isn't ready.

But the shaman seemed good to go.

Huh. I didn't get a notification. My bad.

I am still here. Started working on the shaman again today. On vacation with the family, so time seems to be in small blocks. Trying to get Tieja and my hobgoblin brawler together as fast as I can.

Sorry been out of it... Thanksgiving complete with in-law strife, kid with strep, and even an explosion! I hope to get to things today, if not definitely tomorrow.

Just as a head's up, I'll be out of town and travelling in a "not getting online to check on games" sort of way for about a week, December 12-20.

I know, I know, it's a week away -- just trying to give a little advanced notice. ;)

I'll post another reminder before I go (if only to make clear when Asaran's mind can be switched to auto-pilot mode for a while...)

We seem to be in a holding pattern anyway, but, I'll be back in 9 days, so if anything does happen, feel free to have a zombie-Asaran wade in and make with the killing.

I plan on starting back on January 5 to coincide with the Savage Tide kickoff. If Ohio State beats Alabama, I will be in excellent spirits then.

Go Buckeyes!
O-H!

I got caught up with holidays. Will post soon.

We kick things off with a bang tonight!!!

I - O !!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good!

Ready when the rest are. Is Tieja complete?

I am trying to put maps in google drawings.

Check out the map link and tell me what you think.

Can you see it?
Can you move your token?
The elf princess is on there because my daughter insisted.

I can see the map.

Moving tokens, not so much.

All:

I hate to do this, but I think that I need to pull out of this and the Savage Tide campaigns. I know that both have been held up for me, and I had intended to have characters for them. However, I have had a tough time, and I do not know why, getting these characters put together. Then, two weeks ago, I received a new job opportunity which is going to pretty much negate my ability to post during the day.

It is possible that I will be able to easily keep up with everything, but for now, I do not think that adding yet two more campaigns to my current load is the right thing to do, for you all or for me.

If someone has another player to slot in for me, that is fine. They can either use my characters/ideas, or build their own. If I find I have more time than I think I will, then, I will happily rejoin should someone drop out, or you all want to add another player.

Thanks for the option, and I hope you all are able to move forward with your spelunking and pirating.

Tirion/Tieja

I can see the map and move the tokens.

My other Mummy's Mask game is folding. I think I may invite the best player to join us and get back going. He is an inquisitor, but I think two inquisitors would work.

Greetings, GM Tribute asked me to come over here and introduce myself.

So, here's me.

I had been playing Sabola, an Inquisitor, but I note you have an Inquisitor, a Ranger, and an Archaeologist Bard. I don't see that another Inquisitor naturally falls into that, and it seems all three of you can heal, oh wait, the trapper ranger would have given up spells right? I further note that Asaran said above that there was a belief that you could "benefit from a full caster of some sort."

Which sort did you have in mind? I'm glad to fill that hole, or whatever else the group might need.

I'll go and browse and see what I can discern are the rules for rolling up a character, point buy, WBL, etc.

Sure!

Welcome! I would say a full arcane caster would be a solid fit.

Blaster? Controller? Buffer?

Any preference on Wizard vs. Sorcerer? And I suppose the new Arcanist from the Advanced Race Guide somewhat comes down the middle of that with versatility.

If it's controller, or buffer, some of the oracle mysteries/curses could fulfill that function as well, despite not being arcane.

Any skills currently left uncovered by the group?

Does the group have a face?

Sunjeet can do face skills and is maxing UMD to fill in where a Cleric type might not work out.

As for what type of arcane caster - that is up to you!

Alright, so with 2 melee characters, and an archaelogist Bard to cover the knowledge skills, I'll see about a buffer/controller Sorcerer, so not the blasty type!

Sounds good to me.

Apart from name and background and stuff, I believe I might be about ready, but I need:

Starting gold and purchasing restrictions?

I can probably get my crunch posted tomorrow.

Here's my current stats, in profile.

Iskender looks good. Note: sin mages cannot cast at all from opposition schools explicitly described. They need UMD to even read a scroll or use a wand for these spells.

As you know, an evocation expert would be useful in the short term, but a conjurer has extreme utility for many levels to come.

Yep, absolutely prohibited, except with UMD, so as promised to people, I'm not a blaster.

Trying to determine what bonded item I want.

Starting gold? Can I swap some of it out for more spells in spellbook?

A quote from after the treasure division in the gameplay thread: Your new member joined, and you would estimate they were relatively well equipped (1000gp standard starting WBL).

But, since you already paid your dues, consider with a rank of alchemy you can start with up to 200gp in alchemical items at crafting cost.

Hmmmm, alchemy? Ok, let me check that out. 1000gp, no problemo, I'll spend it as normal to put some spells into the spellbook also.

Hmm, so some alchemy stuff procured. Some scrolls written. Didn't add any spells to spellbook, but I'll be calling dibs on scrolls and spellbooks as we find them!

Got myself a hot weather outfit, for a Varisian fellow like me, it's awfully hot around these parts.

Went with the amulet as my bonded object. Easily carried, easy choice how to enchant it. No reason to use a weapon, if we get to where my melee ability saves the day everyone will owe me some Nexian brandy anyways.

I'll get my stat lines worked out Monday, but I'm ready to start looting some dead old rich guy's tomb now.

Question: the D20PFSRD lists numerous alternate summoning options that various APs have added. Will you accept those?

Also, the same source provides stats for many different elementals of varying sizes, behind earth, air, fire, water, that come from various sources, some of which are 3PP. Are those ok?

I've got 3 of the elemental languages now, and will get the 4th at 3rd level, so summoning elementals will prove a very useful tool as we go on.

Now we gotta make sure we can get the band back together.

I will accept any custom changes SPECIFICALLY for Mummy's Mask AP to summoning. No on 3PP, I barely like the power keep Paizo keeps pushing.

Are Asaran, Sunjeet, and Rakhal still here???

I'll send a PM tomorrow if necessary.

No problem, sounds good.

I posted, didn't I?

I'll wait patiently!

PM sent to David and Patrick.

They may have inactivated this thread. I hope they join us.

Still in!

OK we are jumping in with both feet.

Feel free to make introductions as you bond with your first fight of a large vermin!!!

David has been busy, I can Bot him if necessary.

I am a little slammed at work and home. Should be able to post tomorrow. :-)

My son is in town for a week (on leave from Air Force) -- so I am still behind.

David is super busy and wants us to find a replacement. Rather than open recruitment, anyone you want to refer is in.

They can take over Rakal, or make a divine replacement. Glumly came along a while, but playing a PC role for an extended time makes me feel dirty.

I recommend Dusty from the other game. She was great. Good player. Regular poster.

If Dusty's not up for it, I can make a suggestion or two from the Skull and Shackles game I'm in.

On the plus side, Dusty was a cleric! And we had gotten to right abotu this same spot in the AP.

I apologize guys. Things have been crazy and it frustrates me that I cannot continue in this game. Have fun!
