Thank you for botting me. The monday and tuesday I was woken up at noon and failed to get anymore sleep while not getting to sleep until around seven in the morning as work is rather busy.
As to the weekend my sunday is gonna be busy because I am officially back in the DM chair. Saturday we are all off in my house so we have to continue unpacking but I could sneak in a post. While on monday I should be back.
I honestly don't know right yet how the weekend is going to be for me. Should be able to post Sat/Sun without major issue, but work has been...hmmm...how to put this...
Arduous? as of late? Aside from keeping up with the BS of management...preventing myself from having a pre-surgery Kallik moment with bosses and staff...
Have fun DMing Kallik!
Try not to stab anyone Inam!
Oh but it is so tempting to want to do that! Just completely let loose and be brutal with the world. I get that. Don't do it because murder is illegal but you are allowed to fantasize about it. I do all the time.
Also thank you! My genius self decided I wanna know how high level play works so I am also prepping for The Moonscar which is level 16.
LOL, I've never actually DM'd much past 10th level, especially Pathfinder, so good luck with that!
Uh yeah, good luck re: high level play. My first F2F pathfinder was at lvl 14... we lasted 2 hours and then TPK. Fun stuffs.
Just recently started a lvl 10 campaign. I've barely played much at or above 10 before so I expect it'll be a bit different and hope we get to some of the higher levels.
I have only run a game up to level 10 and there was only one mythic tier because I am insane. I had six players, two animal companions that I mostly role played since they were crazy smart, a familiar in the same boat, and two always there NPC's. Two others were slated to be added.
There is a lot of fun and dangerous encounters in this module so a TPK is a real fear but I tend to prefer a game with threat of death. Hopefully they end up with a healer.
High level play looks like so much fun! The magic and available monsters are awesome! And I am looking forward to seeing how long we last in this game :D
I've run 3 PFS scenarios at tier 10-11. Definitely requires more prep than a level 1-2 confirmation run... :-P Were quite fun though.
I've also played in two tier 10-11 games (though I was only level 9). Gets a bit hectic at times. :-D
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! Kallik (PMed me) will most likely be able to post an update soon, but if not I will send out an update either tonight or tomorrow.
Sorry about the delay. Yesterday was a bad day but I think I am getting a little better.
No problem at all - we all knew it was going to be a busy weekend. Thanks for taking the time to post!
I'm gonna wait to finish until the others get a post in and maybe you describe what this whole new world looks like
The other table asked for more information on Dark stuff.
Updated the Dark entry to include basic characteristics of spawn and worshipers of the Dark. This is relatively basic stuff that anyone well-read or well-traveled such as yourselves would be likely to know
You can also find it under the "Gods and Magic" tab. I thought I had a link there to some very basic Dark info before, but I was wrong.
I'm waiting on Inam to respond to this new scenario, fyi.
Sorry for the delay. Life has been rearing its ugly head lately and making me do things away from the computer.
/shudder
The loss of computer time is a horrible thing.
Agreed!
Random question of the day!
Inam: would Inam's family have been the type to celebrate a holiday that is primarily seen as an ifrit or a city holiday? or would they have completely shunned such things?
Same question to you Ibinu - when you envision Ibinu's days spent traveling, did the caravan or his scattered family ever celebrate holidays of any kind?
Kallik, I'm assuming that your family adhered pretty strictly with oread holidays and nothing else.
---
Just curious.
Well if my great great great great grandparents did it then is should be good for us! That means yep. Tradition mattered a lot.
If they saw a way to profit more from the ifrits/followers of Volcano by participating, they would. If it was more efficient to avoid it and work on their craft in peace, they wouldn't join the festivities.
Celebrate is a tough word to apply. Aware of and took advantage of the holidays? Yes. They would plan many of their travels to hit the best markets on the best days to ply their various skills and work the various events.
Lá Saoire na Éadaoin and Naming Day were the only ones actually observed, though the former was quite secretive and small. Mainly consisting of readings and stories told among the family in private with a few ritual observances and prayers.
Obviously Ibinu has not observed much of anything since his curse, generally spitting on the ideas of traditional observances. After the 'change' I would say he was open to new experiences and after Kallik's 'change' he would be very interested in learning as much about all the holiday's and observances as possible, considering them incredibly important to unite Elen and strengthen the gods.
I have to go to a work conference for the next 2 days. I will be back home Friday.
Due to being in meetings/classes for 12hours each of the two days, I may not be able to post. If needed, don't hesitate to bot me.
I will try to keep up.
I'm fine with just waiting until Inam is ready (over the weekend, whenever). Nothing super-urgent is happening in gameplay right now.
In the meantime, anyone who has it: Knowledge Planes and/or Knowledge Arcana.
"I'VE BEEN TO A DIFFERENT PLANE OF EXISTENCE NOW I MUST RESEARCH EVERYTHING!!!"
I am fine with the brief pause. A nasty migraine took me out the other day and I still feel horrible.
Hope you feel better soon!
We'll just wait until Inam is ready and take it from there. The second table has just arrived at Forge, so there's plenty of city-building for me to occupy myself with.
Just in case any of you are interested, I finally made the first district of Forge-
I love Dragons!
I will mention that I have a bit of a problem with young creatures and people that bleeds out into all my characters if the situation arises. As already seen in Egret. In a module I played a Cavalier in my party found three young owlbears. I claimed them and raised them. They were precious.
I haven't heard from you since Sunday Kallik, so I'm planning on botting you tonight if you don't have time to post. Hope everything is going ok!
I'm here. Today is the first day I have woken up with more than an hour before work. Clearly sleep was super important.
Glad you've been catching up on your sleep!
Forge is done - check out Campaign Info under Maps and Cities (the second table is visiting there). A much broader picture than Hearth, but I don't think I have the wherewithal to go into that much detail for anything except capital cities. You are all forbidden from going to IceFall or the North Tribe for at least a month or two!
Just a heads up, things at work are coming to a head...
Quite honestly, it has been wearing me down both physically and mentally as of late. I can't give any specifics until after this weekend.
If I fall off for a day or two, don't hesitate to bot me. Hopefully that won't be necessary.
I just wanted to preemptively warn you so you didn't think I'd abandoned the cause.
Understood. Highly appreciated, as always. Hope there's some kind silver lining to all the bad!
btw, the arrows showing your movement were an excellent touch everyone! Not necessary to do it everytime if you don't remember, but it is certainly useful!
Thanks, I use those for most of my characters. On these maps too, it helps a ton to calculate my actual move distance by just making an arrow that is 30 ft long and then moving.
If this map-making stuff interests you, you are welcome to make a copy of these slides to use.
The map is 1/2 inch squares. I may make a 1/4 inch square one, but the half was tough enough so... we shall see.
Thanks, I'll take a look! It's funny, once I found a rough size/scale that seemed to work for PbP, I've just been recycling and copying the same page over and over again. I think the one exception was the Temple battle with Locatelli, because the scale was so big.
And... it's a slow day at work so I went ahead and did a 1/4 inch page. The main issue with the way I did it on the 1/4 page, is that it would be super easy to drag the background boxes and mess up the lines. One has to be a bit careful when they click and move their characters and enemies.
I confess I know nothing of what you all speak but to be fair I am too lazy to mess with it. It is on my list!
I have been botting Inam as requested - hope things are calming down a bit for you! I will continue to bot until told otherwise.
Thanks High Servant.
As of Midnight this morning, my company was taken over by another entity. This week I may continue to have difficulty as I adjust to new owners/expectations. We shall see.
For the record, Inam is out of healing for the day now. ;-)
I will be traveling July 4th thru the 8th. Woot vacation! I have no clue what access to my precious laptop I will have so at that time bot me as needed.
So does that remove the healing? While I wait for an answer
I think I used the last of Inam's healing. If not, we'll still say it happened because I don't want to retcon everything :)
Yeah, High Servant used the last of my healing - was just giving a heads up in case he had to bot me more in this combat.
You got your healing Kallik.
Kallik, are you sure your HP is correct? Ibinu has the same Con (12) as you and the same Hit Die (d8) and has 38 HP. I know he sunk 5 favored class points into Hit Points but that is still a pretty big difference from the 30 you have. I guess you could have rolled for each level and not done well?
Just something to check, especially if you are up front and hitting things that like the taste of gravel.
I may have rolled poorly but I actually cannot fine the post where I rolled but it is really early in the morning so I'm gonna go back to sleep, hopefully. I might be able to find it after some much needed sleep.
Yes, sleep is good! Let me know if you'd like me to bot you.
Also, in case you missed the spoiler in combat:
You notice another oily infector on the ground, sneaking up on the dragon. It is about ten feet northeast of the dragon
I love that you guys get nat 20s at such opportune moments. I think that Inam managed to get one on a diplomacy check to avert a civil war way back when the Temple was trying to execute Inam for killing So Khong.
