Ah man, I was just polishing my cattle prod... No fair, damned sneaky rogues!
Whips? Cattle Prods?!
Redheads threatening physical discipline of the most non-consensual kind...
There you go, getting me all excited...
Teases, the lot of you!
ooops, i supposed he only people downstairs, beside Kendra and her "lover" were Tamarie, the Prof and me.. was i wrong?
GM Fiat note: Wherever you were prior to the beginning of this adventure, it was no more than a week's travel from Ravengro as Professor Lorrimor's death happened almost exactly two weeks ago. I will update the Campaign Info thread with Calender information shortly. Suffice it to say it is presently early spring in the year 4710 AR (Aroden Reckoning)
Given that no one stated otherwise I decided that all of you were downstairs.
Councilman Hearthmount & Kendra aren't lovers. That's not the relationship he is interested in, or at least that's not all the relationship he is interested in; and she doesn't see him in that light. Those particular exchanges will become more relevant in time.
Alright, for future reference; I will attempt to post at least once a day even on weekends. However, weekends are slightly more likely to wind up somewhat less than that. Don't be too surprised if I only manage one post a weekend every so often. That said, next weekend is Memorial Day weekend here in the United States of America & I will be taking my son down to Oklahoma to visit family, so there may be no posts between Friday & Tuesday, the 24th & the 28th.
Also, The attempt to use multiple posts for the reading of the will was for a couple of reasons. 1) To (perhaps artificially) increase tension, and 2) to allow you to make observations or request Perception, Sense Motive or Knowledge checks as you feel appropriate. Of course the timing is appalling given that we are going into the weekend & game flow is already at a notably slowed pace due to GM switch.
Sometimes I over-think matters...
I will attempt one more break before concluding the reading but if no one posts any manner of response I will conclude it was an incorrect decision on my part & continue on.
Sure thing bossman!
I don't want to worry you, but Cassandra hasn't been online since the 4 April, and Davor since mid May...
Hope we won't have to recruit new people.
Sorry all. I hadn't realized that I had hidden this and the gameplay thread after the first game had fallen apart. Give me some time to catch up and I'll get a post up tonight.
nice to see you back, Cassandra!
Huzzah, the lost sheep has returned!
You were right: we just needed a cattle prod, Tamarie.^^
But...
but...
I thought the Cattle Prod was just for Me?!
I guess I'm just not special any more...
In all seriousness, glad to see you are back Cassandra. Everyone, I will have an actual Gameplay post up later this evening.
Mid-May was a few days ago...
Silly Vivian!
But she did manage to get your attention :-)
Without any whipping needed...
My apologies Davor, i didnt want or mean to be rude... i try to post once per day, more or less, and as this AP went down already once, i freaked out at the possibilty it went down again because of someone missing.
So everyone is still here? Perfect. I for one am wondering where the adventure path is going. I'm digging the whole "darkness" of it all. It ain't easy bein' an outcast :)
Haven't been posting since Davor isn't all that social to begin with and I've had too much going on at work this past week to post role play of waiting for the will to be read.
I will be finishing up the reading of the will with my next post I promise.
That said, my next post won't be until this evening as I have a court date this afternoon.
Thank you all for your patience & your enthusiasm.
I hope you all do not object, but I have a request to make. When including your character's thoughts in a post, please italicize the thought. This makes it a bit easier for me to recognize what is what in your posts, thank you.
If you are uncertain how to do so using the formatting rules of this messageboard, click on the button next to 'How to format your text' below the text window.
wont object, and take good note of it.
I have made some additions to the Campaign Info tab; I included the In-Game start date & current date. This will become important later. I also included a very general overview of the cards of the Harrow deck. This will also be important as the Campaign continues.
Finally, I apologize, but I may not be making another post today, which means it may be Monday evening before I post again, Holiday Weekends being what they are.
Once more, thank you all for you patience & I hope you find it is being rewarded.
No problem DM man!
Also: I have quite some experience with the Harrow cards as I have used them often in my Kingmaker group(s). Will this be a problem?

Not at all. I only ask that if my interpretation of a particular card differs from yours, you check with me before making any declarations to that effect; sometimes I have reasons.
Of course, sometimes those reasons are 'I was half-asleep when I said/did/decided that...'.
Sure, no problem. I know nothing of their in-game effect though, so don't worry. I just used them to predict their past/present/future, and it spooked them out massively :D
Put the cards into my profile, just so I never forget about them :)
Sorry Vivian, to put this in you, but you appeared to be the "people person" :)
yeah, i noticed that i was the one doin" the talking.^^
Well, at least i found the "tears are the currency of sorrow" line, and im qui te proud of it.
Vivian is quite talkative, in my mind, so that suits her persona
Guys, sorry, I was away from all computer & internet over the weekend. I'll check gameplay & post either later tonight or tomorrow morning sometime.
I have once more updated the Campaign Info tab. It now includes a general observation of your party's standing in Ravengro overall & a track of your current XP.
Your overall Ravengro standing will affect NPC's initial attitudes towards you. Once you have interacted with an NPC, their personal attitude towards you will affect how they treat you.
Sweet, it says I can level to 12!!?? ;)
Booooh, i have no xp!^^
*sigh*
I have now corrected the individual xp totals...
Haha, sorry to mess with you DM Bossman. Please keep the Tarrasque still in its hole for now, we promiss to be good... Unless you don't want us to? ;)
I was unable to bring my Laptop into work with me today, so I will not be able to post until this evening.
Expect a gameplay post then.
Two questions:
- what would be the difficulty to hear Davor whispers to Tamarie? (yeah, i'm curious, and my character too..^^)
- i'm not sure to understand: was the body of Prof Lorrimor un-buried during last night?
I left it un-spoilered intentionally with the idea that his "whispering" was an extremely weak attempt at lowering his voice and could probably still be heard by most of the group.
And, no, the professor's grave was not dug up, just a miscommunication or misinterpretation.
Well, his body may have been dug up, but none of our group nor the sheriff are aware of it if it was.
So far as all of you are aware, Professor Lorrimor's body remains buried.
Everyone, I am going to attempt to maintain my schedule of posting at least once a day. Unfortunately, I have a series of personal issues cropping up which may impede this. I may wind up posting less frequently for a bit.
Sorry, i had an hard time at work, now things are back to normal.
Given the fact that it is the Weekend & I myself stalled gameplay for a time due to personal matters, I will give everyone until Monday to respond, but if I have no progression by then I will be moving things along by GM Fiat.
If you guys do move matters along before then I will keep up. Fortunately, the drama in my life has receded to more manageable levels.
Just waiting Davor's reaction to my cheek kiss, and maybe some words from Cassandra, and i'll post.
I'm trying to keep Tamarie out of things that have to do with "magic" as much as I can :)
She'll learn though :)
'Grumble, Grumble...
Stupid PC's & their Knowledge: History modifiers...
Stupid dice giving them Totals of 26 at first level!..
Particularly considering Rokannon isn't researching Harrowstone with that roll. Professor Lorrimor didn't have any information on Harrowstone, which is why he had to check with the Church of Pharasma! Professor Rokkanon just apparently has a Ghoulish fascination with obscure (for him) Crime Tragedy 'cause he pulled the information out of his own recollections.
I will post what you've learned in Gameplay later today.
Grumble Grumble...
If you want DM, I can shoot him in the back? :P
Also: +8 is not that crazy at level 1 right? I mean, it's not like he's a half-elf with Skill focus (know history)? :D
Mostly it was just the really high roll.
And me grumbling to grumble.
Make a grumble roll! :D
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Well, you know it doesn't matter how high I roll if the information is simply not available. The best I could get is a clue where to better search.
Believe me, I understand. I've run mysteries where the players roll hot as well.
Policeman: "Well Master Detective, you can see the body sprawled at the base of the grand staircase..."
Master Detective: Rolls 19
Master Detective: "The maid did it."
GM: "OK then. Well, I guess we can play Munchkin now..."
Does Cassandra play hide and seek again? it's been two weeks since she last posted...
Yes, too bad she's not really active :(
I knew that whip would come in handy.^^
