Ustalav introduction campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Browman

Are all of you heading to the cemetery?

Yep. With the loot and the prisoners and everything. I'm 99.9% sure this was the consensus that was reached.

If you live in a democratic country, then that's a fine number for consensus.

LMAO I just realized that this thread has over a hundred more posts just in gameplay than the game that I have been playing since 25 Nov. has in both game and discussion!

I just love playing a cleric of the knowledge domain. All knowledge skills become class skills. The only problem is that there just aren't enough skill points to assign them all ranks at each level.

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. Yesterday was the wake and today is the funeral. If anybody wants to rp for me just a tad so I don't remain obsolete that would be nice :P tomorrow/ maybe tonight I'll be back on my normal schedule. Thanks guys.

Sending good vibes your way man. Sorry for your loss.

For ease of reference:

The deal with Josep

The equipment that the bandits dropped + the stolen loot

Come on, Garekk! You just got hugged! React! :)

Pretty sure most half-orcs reaction would be confusion. Particularly those raised by Orcs.

Also I am going to leave things where they are for a little longer to give everyone some time to interact before the baron arrives.

It would help though, if I were to actually read the post instead of scanning the thread.. hazards of doing this at work!

Thank you. Sometimes the pacing of this game mixed with my odd timezone makes it so I miss out on a bit of it. I don't mind playing 'strong and silent'-ish buuuut I don't really want to lol.

Will there be an update tonight?

Between going to a movie and working on my submission for the RPGSS, things have been busy today.

Firstly congratulations to all the newcomers, now that we have passed 500 posts in the gameplay thread we have survived longer than 50% of play by posts on these forums.

Second, if I didn't make it clear before, the concept of a "Magic Item Shop" doesn't exist in my campaigns particularly in Ustalav. In this campaign if you want a particular magic item that isn't simply a +1 weapon, armour or shield, you probably have search for it, someone who can custom make it or make it yourself.

Does this mean that we are going long term with this game? Crosses fingers in anticipation

I have no plans to end soon, and even if we lose a few people, re-recruitment is much easier with a healthy gameplay thread.

Hell yea... I am really liking the composition and interaction of this group

i <3 you all very mucho.

Rois does a happy dance. Time to take those two worthless skills in Preform (Dance) for shadowdancer!

Also for convincing the Baron of the seriousness of the situation you all get another 100xp.

Thank you, DM.

Even at fast XP if you guys only get XP for combat stuff it will literally take months for you to level.

Woo!

Umm... how much XP do we have so far? I should have kept better track.

tab 3 of the spreadsheet, 200 xp in total

Got it. Thanks, Browman!

Very nice. Thank you!

Hailey, I'm thinking this for my spells:

0 level: Guidance, Light, Resistance
1st Level: Bless Water, Magic Weapon
Domain Spell: Truestrike

I'll leave the magic detection/reading and undead seeking to you. They fit you better.

Perhaps more protective spells would be wiser, such as dropping magic weapon for Sanctuary or Shield of Faith? Just a suggestion.

Though as far as Hailey is concerned, I'm starting to think she doesn't belong in this game - she belongs in the Addams Family.

That's what makes the interactions so great! The variance among the party.

Not a bad idea, Hailey. I'll probably replace Magic Weapon with Shield of Faith, though I suspect I'll not cast it so I can keep a Cure Light in reserve.

Lmao hailey.. but that is why we are having so much fun and why this thread has over 500 posts. I say just let it go and see where you end up. Who knows... maybe she will learn a bit of wisdom to temper her enthusiasm

What does Voryn know of the Lake of Sorrows?

What does Voryn know of the Lake of Sorrows?

It has good fishing. During the Whispering Tyrant's rise to power, many people were drowned by his followers in the lake, thus the name. Many claim it is haunted, or cursed or both.

Oh joy.. sounds like a perfect place for a necromancer to raise an army

Let's go there at once! :)

Hailey will prepare:

0: Detect Magic, Read Magic, Purify Food & Drink.

1: Detect Undead, Hide from Undead, & Identify (D)

Would the common American black bear technically be categorized as an outsider? Earth is from another plane of existence compared with Golarion... ;)

Do you have a better picture of an Ustalav black bear skeleton?

No...

Lmao well played Browman... well played!

On an unrelated note, the next wayfinder that is currently accepting submissions is for Ustalav. I am hoping to submit at least a bestiary entry for it.

very nice

Good luck!

Can we put the campaign summary somewhere easy to find and update? It would be nice to be able to go somewhere to review what has happened so far :) If possible

I can put some stuff in the campaign info tab

Good idea.. Maybe a running recap tab at the top of the page with the spreadsheets?

Now all we need is for Voryn to write more summaries...

Agreed! Get on it ;)

FYI I am going to a concert tonight so likely won't be able to post from about an hour from now till about 7-8 hours from now.

That's ok, go out and have some fun!
