Merry Christmas!
@Papa-DRB: Welcome! Man I've seen you around these boards for quite a while. Never made it into one of your games but I've seen several over the years. Good to have you, bud!
Oh, hey! I didn’t even look to see who the player was! I’ve been in some of Papa-DRB’s games. Good to share a table with you again, sir!
Thank you all for the welcome. Should have Damiel finished up by Monday morning.
Sorry it took so long, but Damiel is ready to rock 'n roll!
If you want to take a look at his gear and suggest anything different, let me know.
Thanks for the patience guys. Christmas hit and also got Covid vaccine that wiped me out. Still feeling the aftereffects from that.
Anyways updating now with map and combat.
Arigoder and Daniel I will have you join in after this fight ends.
Knock on wood! I got my first does of the Pzier vaccine on 12/22. Other than about 5 minutes of a sore arm several hours later, I've been fine. 01/12 is when I get the second dose.
I am a very part time hospital chaplain, and visit PUI/PUM and Covid patients so I am one of the first, along with other hospital workers, to get it in NY state.
Interesting! I did a unit of CPE a couple of years ago but moved into a different field since (librarianship). Had thought of volunteering as a chaplain at the local hospital but kind of put it off, and then Covid happened.
Sounds good, Variel.
Okay, on the map there is the ghostly looking creature next to Morgrym and some kind of "bug" next to Garith.
So my questions are:
Are both of those still there?
And are either of those the ones Nasira is trying to restore?
Sorry, I just want to be absolutely clear I'm not about to attack the "ghost" looking person that Nasira is trying to restore. If that is the one she wants to restore then Morgrym will attack the bug.
Yeah, I know the map is updated, but I haven't seen any changes to the maps for quite a while, so I have no idea what our current positions are.
The ghostly thing is the husk of Yaniel. The bug floating thing is the spiritual ally that Nasira summoned. The demon fled down the hallway to the southeast.
Okay, southeast. Got it. Then that's where Morgrym is headed.
Edit: Maybe. We'll see. :P
Damiel and Arigoder please make your introductions on the gameplay thread as you see the party leave the complex. You are with Queen Galfrey and a reformed demon succubus Arueshalae. You know them well enough that there is no discomfort at being in the Queen's presence and you no enough of Arueshalae that her being a demon does not cause you any hesitation at being around her.
Also Radiance is now a Holy Avenger with its full powers and has 2 surges a day to modify attacks make with Radiance.
Holy Avenger. Man that is freaking cool.
@Garith: You're not leaving us too, are you, bud? I ask because I gotta confess, I was a bit taken aback at the idea that Radiance is "leaving" you. So that's why I'm wondering. That's kind of a big time thing.
No he is not leaving. I recruited 2 players when Garith was absent due to family and told Arigodwr that as a paladin in this campaign he would be getting radiance in exchange for wealth 2 levels below what would be normal. He agreed to that and then Garith for things situated so he had more time for us. We now have 2 paladins i. The group with very different skill sets.
Yes Garith you would have heard of Arigoder as there are very very few paladins of his or your caliber and prestige.
Ok.
How do we get our mythic powers?
Arigoder sounds like a Paladin of great renown, considering his adventures
I figure something had to happen between levels 1-13. ;)
Just waiting for the party's actual arrival before getting up in their faces.
Also - if the current holder of Radiance is sticking around and would prefer to keep it, I've no issues with that (though I'll rush out and bump myself to the right WBL). ;)
I’m glad to hear Garith is able to stay with us.

Well that's a relief. Would've hated to lose him too. That's good to hear. Cool.
Arigoder and Garith I will let you 2 rp it out about Radiance. I am good with whatever as there is the other nasty demon slayer sword available in the back room. Other loot I will post tomorrow when I get home from work. 1130 at night and just finishing call cases.
If y'all our having problems signing in, I just went to my History and cleared out ALL my cookies from the "beginning of time". That worked for me.
Killing just the paizo cookies is sufficient. But if you are like me, I could not find any of my games while I was locked out.
I found my games, I just couldn't post in any of them. I was able to sign in on Edge but I don't like Edge. But from there I fought my way to the forums where I found the thread about deleting cookies.
And killing just the paizo cookies is enough, but I just decided to delete all of them because I have no idea how to select specific cookies. Plus it was just way easier. *Delete all cookies. Boom. You're done.* :)
Yeah I had to use my work computer to log in to see what was going on. I haven't been able to on my phone or laptop for a few days now. I think I resubmitted my password change 4 times and no luck. I will try and get back in the swing of things tonight but with a blizzard warning here I am not sure when.
I've been ok for a day or two now - but I did have to obliterate all cached data and cookies for Paizo. Cookies alone didn't do it.
Sadly, on my phone, where chrome doesn't let you pick certain sites, there was a lot of lost state information.
In the back room you find 2500gp in clothing and 5000gp in gems. Otherwise there is nothing of value in the back room. In the room with the alchemist there are 500gp worth of alchemical items that you can choose what you want. You also see a +1 scorpion whip, 6 alkili flasks, 2 doses of dust of acid consumption, 5 doses of dust of dryness, 5 vials of shadow essence poison. On the alchemist you find a +3 chain shirt, amulet of natural armor +2, mwk longsword, belt of con +4, ring of protection +2, alchemy kit.
Morgrym could use that Amulet of Natural armor +2. That would increase his AC by 1.
But if someone else prefers it then that's cool with me. It's all good to me either way.
I have no claim on any of the protective items. I would gladly see the front-liners distribute those among themselves.
Is someone an expert on the alchemical items available? I'm going to have to crack open the book to do anything with it, but 500gp worth of alchemical items could be very useful, either for offense or utility or both.
Sorry to come back to this - wasn't sure if I should be RPing a "pull" toward Radiance or not. ;) As I said, I'm fine either way - though a little behind the WBL curve without it. ;)
Garith you have an answer as to what direction we should go?
Also update tomorrow
For the record, Morgrym is fatigued due to that stupid spell he couldn't save against. And without 8 hours rest it won't go away. And as long as he's fatigued he can't rage. Just fyi.
Might be a good idea if he rests.
And on a more metagamey note, he's only got 4 Mythic points left. Not sure how long we're going to be in the underworld but he could burn through those in a heartbeat.
Honestly - although they are extremely useful - I'm not too concerned about the Mythic points but raging could come in fairly handy. :)
Really going to have to check into that "Sleepless" Mythic ability. That might just come in handy.
Arigoder doesn't have the mercy to remove fatigue. In fact, I don't have any mercies -- one of the things he gave up for the swashbucklerage. ;)
...and still wondering about the Radience v. WBL bump. ;)
I suspect that Garith is expecting Arigoder to have Radiance going forward, but I haven't had a conversation with him to that effect.
That's the conclusion I eventually came to as well per what was said previously.
Go ahead and take Radiance Arigoder
@Variel: Morgrym's initiative is actually +7. The +5 extra is from our Mythic tiers. Just wanted to clear that up for future reference. But no worries if you're not including that.
Do we only see those spider-creatures at the moment, Variel? Trying to figure out the best course of action.
Not yet as they have not moved into action and are actually not there yet.
Hey guys just realized my account got logged out and never saw any updates. Will catch up and post today.
Just saw your pm as well Javell and will respond. It is all me though and nothing on you. Reading it fully though once I have time.
For what it's worth, Ansha might be better placed somewhere else to grant that boon to all of the men in the party. Right now, I think she's not going to catch two of them.
I adjusted Ansha's position on the map to hopefully cover most of them just now.
Applying for a new job in management so will be busy with that. Update likely tomorrow or Saturday.
Boom! That's cool. Here's hoping it goes well for you, bud.

Crossing to the dark side of the force you are!

{but congratulations)
Good luck, Variel.
Good luck!
Actually, Arigoder, it looks like to me that it was you who did a total of 80 damage to the demon. Which is a good thing might I add. You just need to keep that up and keep it up QUICKLY. :)
Morgrym only took 59 damage(Did you catch that? "Only"). The insane part of that is, it was only ONE attack. :P
We are about to get the absolute snot beat out of us, folks. That thing is +25 TO HIT. Which means all it needs is a 2 to hit Morgrym. A 2. Let me repeat: A 2. Ugly. :P
