Thron's Rise of the Runelords Campaign

Game Master Thron

Well, I know Morythine is out in a jungle somewhere. Darius is just being a slacker though. :-P

Anywho, update is up! Also, if you look at the map, you will see that I made a miniature grid below the actual map. That represents the area around you guys that you can see as if in regular light.

That 1/8000 chance. Hot damn.

Huh?

Rolling 3 20s in a row is 1/8000

Haha. Wasn't sure what u were referencing.

.0125% chance! Heh.

Where is everyone lately? When I hit preview and scroll up the page the only names I really see are me, Zoli and Thron (with a few Destrinas sprinkled in). Darius? Morythine?

I've been in the Peruvian dry forest. No hay mucho Internet por alla.

Currently making a painfully slow way back around the globe by plane. Hopefully by the weekend I'll caught up and contributing like normal

Welcome back!

And happy new year to all.

Just got home from holiday shenanigans. Will get a proper update up shortly.

Happy New Year all,

I know I've just got back, but a surprise extended holiday means today my wife and I will be heading up to the northern tip of Borneo for a long weekend. Not sure what the Internet is like up there, but I may go silent again for a few days.

Cheers

Welcome back! Pics?

I'm off to NY & PA for the next 12 days. I hear they have internet there, but I expect to be irregular.

Lurks creepily.

I will not be posting my action first, as I don't wish to get a third character killed. However, Darius will stand down if the others do, or go full-on-blasty-blasty if the others do.

Just don't expect me to lead ;P

Careful. Thron has had it in for Zoli for a while now.

Seriously... I dunno what the right strategy is. I think some ooc discussion here is wise but I know there's big risk either way and accept the risk.

EDIT
I will say though that if you decide to attack if at all possible y'all should STALL FOR 2 ROUNDS so that Zoli can flank and attack from the inside.

Lol I haven't been gunning for you. I've just tried to not pull any punches to maintain the sense of danger for the game.

I'm teasing. Mostly.

Awesome game.

Haha. You wound me then try and compliment me. Just like Google.

Regardless of the decision made ooc, there needs to be some in character dialogue to back up the decision made here. I'm sure you guys would have done so anyway, but just wanted to make sure it was mentioned.

Well, I crushed the hell out of one of them. Morythine should be able to step in and do a reposition maneuver on you Zoli, or at least grapple one. I would recommend, and did in character before I even read this, the reposition.

I think a trend is developing. Every time someone threatens to kill Zoli and tries to make you guys surrender, they immediately get pwned.

Damn straight. Chaldira Zuzaristan is strong with this one.

Both of my characters for this one are pretty reckless about protecting their allies (friends in Kala's case, Destrina hasn't been around enough for that yet). I'm still strangely proud of overrunning those sinspawn when Zoli was almost dead.

Destrina -- yeah, Kala tackling those sinspawn was an awesome moment.

Them, Tsuto, now the ghouls: Zoli's living up to Chaldira Zuzaristan's reputation of narrow escapes with the help of friends.

If anyone else has any actions they want to take at the farmhouse, they need to post them.

Otherwise, I am going to assume the following:
1) Nobody else has a desire to make a skill check, and leave it at what the group has learned/found so far.
2) Assume you guys do not want to make camp here and move away some and set up camp, as it is nearly midnight now.
3) Will start it back up with morning the next day.

24 Hour warning before the above takes place! If you want to do otherwise, I need input!

Just gonna drop this here in case there are any interested individuals...

My perception is abysmal, I literally can't hit that DC. All the other checks have been made, so no skill checks from me. As to the earlier question about identifying the ghouls, I think Zoli and I tried and rolled really really low.

So after the ghoul bloodbath, guess what...

YOU GUYS ARE LEVEL 5!

Woohoo! Time to get more paladin-y.

hey! we are all on IG roll20. You should join!

Leveled!

- feats: gained weapon focus & specialization (scimitar). plan to retrain dervish dance >> slashing grace when I get 5 days off
- fcb to skill points

Level Up: 5th level

+1 level monk (hungry ghost)
+1 BAB, fast movement (+10-ft.), manoeuvre training (use monk level as base CMD – so no change at present), still mind (+2 saves vs. enchantments)
Half hit points +1 favoured class, +1 Con, +1 Toughness = 7, new total is 40 hp (currently on 33 hp)
+1 feat; Mobility
+4 Skills, 1 rank each in Disguise, Perception, Stealth and Sleight of Hand

Done!

Leveled also, main changes are monkey style, ki arrow and high jump.

Okay...just waiting on completed level ups from Darius and Destrina.

I'll have it done today, just got home.

Updated! MORE FIREBALLSSSS MUAHAHAHA

Holy crow! I often think some feats (and a certain level of iterative attacks) are more cinematic than realistic...but check this crazy archer out!!

Holy crap! He's like the highest level person I've ever seen IRL. Most people are like level 1. That guy's like a level 4 20th level zen archer or something (for rate of fire and accuracy, but no Ki or other martial abilities).

...and probably not for hit points :-)

But yeah, seriously! I was thinking that too. Folks often say that e6 captures the abilities of Olympic athletes (and Gandfalf and Aragorn, in the books)...but this guy goes way beyond what I'd imagine you could build at 6th.

So cool!

Sorry, things happened and I havent had time at all. I can get it done when I get home this evening.

Updated

I will get a proper update to this as soon as I can. Work caught me before you guys were prepared to move ahead.

Okay...finished my stretch at work. Let me get a quick update posted, and then I will let you guys decide your next course of action.

Forgive me for being dense, but do we have any further leads other than Foxglove manor right now? If not, we should head there, right?

I think that's all we have. I suggested we go there in game before the whole Ghast thing.

So...bury? Burn? Decision on that regard?

Burning may be tough given the amount of rain, but it is possible. I just want to know how to set the scene for my next post.

And yes, the last plan was to go to Foxglove Manor, but got sidetracked by the farmer asking for help, and have now been bogged down by a strong rainstorm for the past day (in game).

I think fine to bury, given everything. Then yes, as soon as the storm lets up we should go to Foxglove.

If we bury them, Destrina finds some rope or something and ties the bodies first. She'd seriously consider decapitating them before the burial, but it would be disrespectful.

Eugeni will decapitate them. He has no respect for the gods left.

Darius is going to be too busy studying his spellbook to care.

Oh, did I mention his familiar and he can now talk to each other? :D I expect some interesting conversations to ensue now.

Hey guys apologies for the lack of posting, this week's labs have been kicking my ass and I've been a bit too pooped to post. Tomorrow is an easy day, however, so I'll have a post up then.

Just trying to get used to standing around working on vehicles for a few hours at a time. Need new shoes.. mine are worn out to s+&&. Feet hurt, tired.. bleurgh.
