Ibinu, here's the spoiler I gave to Inam. I'm going on the assumption now that everyone is more or less on their hiatus at this point (Inam for sure, and possibly Kallik)
"Very well-made leather armor, made from a technique you aren't familiar with. It is studded leather essentially, with no armor check penalty. It also has a +2 magical enhancement bonus, and possibly one other enchantment you cannot identify on your own. Ibinu can tell you what he knows about it."
When you are looking for a place to buy your haversack etc, you can also ask about getting that other enchantment identified. A priest at the Temple could also get the job done, depending on your preference.

I am tentatively back. We came back a day early and I am currently at a day and a half with no sleep. 11 hour car ride and a verbal fight later and I apparently can't sleep. I will try to level Kallik tomorrow when I trust myself to do math :D
Normally I am all for botting when I am not able to post please feel free. Though I should be able to jump back into posting tomorrow as my ability to comprehend what I read seems to spiral into a confused pile of illiteracy. Cause I am a former lit major. Emphasis on the former.
Ibinu Kallik would happily give you money for things like you are looking to get. Either the bag or possibly potions. I will make that definitive vote on how many potions she will try to get after I finally pass out..
Also I like the new name for the plane of Volcano minions!
For the things Kallik wants to do in order of importance
Spend time with Egret and make sure she understands that Kallik is gonna have to be gone for long periods of time. Also making sure there is someone to take care of her. I will reply after some sleep so it hopefully makes sense and also feel free to start the tree stuff and I will reply so long as my world does not explode tomorrow.
Have an argument with the axe about sharing information!
Quietly stalk both Ibinu and Inam both to make sure they are safe and to observe them when others are not around.
Check on the tree.
She was put on the council so she would attend meeting if able to.
I do not think I ever had Kallik finish the things with the blue pearls for Brinn and the shells for Eo. Thought I did but I cannot find anything so she would work on that.
Meander around the city.
Try to learn more about Volcano and its many faces.
I hope this made sense I took way to long to type.
Kallik, if you want your first thing to be Egret, feel free to RP how you would actually go about telling her "expect me to be gone for long periods of time, for the foreseeable future". She is small for her age, but she is 5, maybe 6. She will be interrupting you with "but you don't have to go" and things like that.
Due to the fey nature of the axe I kinda like bewildering though Keen is always nice. Would one of those be ok?
I will get to that after I finish leveling. I am almost done.
Either one is fine! (the bewildering is hilarious and perfect)
The white blade is supposed to gain an language, which is the GM's choice. And gets ranks in knowledge aracana. Do I treat that as a class skill? I think I should have done this at level 5 but I am a bad player so opps.
Also Woot! Bewildering it is!
Yes, simplest thing is just to call it a class skill.
Blade....well, the blade gets a different language. Let's call it "Creak". It's the language of the quiet Elders and the fey.
Small change to campaign tab: We've got Hearth Maps in one spoiler, Forge maps in another spoiler, and all the other maps in a third spoiler.
Bab is now +4
HP +6
all saves go up by one
new spell known Force Anchor
skills: diplomacy, perception, sense motive, intimidate, UMD, craft
White blade gets Creak as a bonus language and a rank in Arcana
That should be everything except the magus arcana. I will either be picking up the meta magic ones as those are good or I will go with spell blending. But there are no wizards so I am not sure if that would be ok to take. Would I be able to pick a different class? The arcane based ones that go to level six are the bard, alchemist, investigator, skald, or summoner. Beyond that it is divine based with the ranger, paladin, hunter, and warpriest.
Honestly I don't mind you picking from the wizard spell list. There's already overlap from bard, magus, etc, and skald can get anything with spell kenning.
So if you decide to take spell blending, feel free to stick with the wizard list.
Kallik, let me know if you have anything else to say to Egret for the time being, or if you want to move on to something else (talking to your axe for instance?)
I think Ibinu will want to be with you when you talk to the tree. (who is going to get a name the next time you talk)
I'm down for tree time :)
Cool! We'll handle that after you've had Egret time and after Ibinu is done with Sophia and shopping. It's nice to be able to take our time with these scenes!
Ah excellent, thank you! I searched by her name but it wasn't in either of those posts so that explains why I missed it. But I recalled reading something similar to that so I wanted to confirm my recollections before continuing.
I have returned to the land of the internet. I am refreshed and hopefully rejuvenated...we shall see.
I have over 260 work e-mails to sort through today from my absence...but will be working on catching up on my games throughout the day today as well.
Baby pending, at hospital. Bot if needed.
Hope everything goes amazingly well! See you in like three weeks when you've managed to catch a few hours of sleep! :)
Inam - glad you're back :)
When you got back from the portal, Kallik immediately dashed off to find Egret (as she wasn't able to see her before you jumped into the rift)
Ibinu had a more measured approach, wanting to check out that black armor you found on the assassin when Locatelli tried to execute you on the top of the Temple.
Edoardo had patrols out looking for traces of you after the rift closed. eventually he finds you (or you find him), and:
Edoardo talks to directly to Inam. His face is lined with concern. "Ee-nam, you cannot run off like that without support, without telling others how to reach you! You are co-rulers of this city, and we need you here!"
Welcome back Inam and good luck Ibinu
Also, I am amused that Inam tagged in and Ibinu tagged out within two hours of each other even though Inam has been gone for a week :)
Kallik, that is roughly the end of your first evening after you stepped out of the rift.
1) We've been 'on break' since the 6th, so everyone has about two weeks of crafting, researching, exploring, etc to do.
2) I'd like to hold off on the tree until Ibinu gets back. Until then we can do RP etc individually or together.
3) Speaking of which, Edoardo is definitely going to be encouraging Inam to go to the council meeting tomorrow morning. Would Kallik be interested in that as well? I know that Ibinu said 'no' to RPing council stuff, but you both seemed okay and possibly interested, so that could be something we do (let me know)
KALLIK
remaining things I have for you are: talk to the axe more; spend time with Egret; blue pearls and shells (I really thought you did that in prep for the mass funeral - am I remembering it wrong?) ; learn about Volcano
INAM
I don't think I got a list from you because you were hanging upside down from mountains :) Any time you are ready to start, just let me know
Baby update.
My wife and I welcomed a baby boy to our family Monday evening. We are all doing well, though have been delayed at the hospital due to an extra stressful labor. Until we get home and settled I won’t be able to get the post up that I want, but I can do any rolls if needed.
Congrats!! and thanks for the update.
Sorry for my continued absence this past week. Work decided to beat on me when I returned. I walked in to find out I had multiple hour long meetings scheduled for me and the computer systems were...not functioning properly.
It's been hectic.
The one night I had free...I said screw it and went fishing for 6hours with the gray haired man that raised me. :-P
Reading through the missed posts now. Hope to get post up by the end of my shift today.
Congratulations on baby boy!
High Servant I couldn't find it but I thought I did to. And yeah holding off on the tree is fine by me. I am cool with a council meeting. Also she wants to do some friendly stalking of Inam and Ibinu if she has the time.
I am all done with my physical therapy so my sleep scheduled should start going back to normal. If I can manage that my posting ability should go back up. I missed sleep and managed more that four hours today! I don't feel like a mobile corpse forced to go though the motions!
No worries Inam, that's why we're on the break! Looking forward to having you back.
Delightful! I will write something up for that later so it is in the gameplay. My search skills are lame. I gotta get some stuff around the house done so I will try to do that later. Feel free to set up whatever you want. I can multitask.
This is my current understanding:
1) Everyone is interested in the Tree. We should hold off on that in RP until everyone can do it somewhat reliably.
2) Council is Inam and Kallik only.
3) Inam, we haven't done anything yet, but remember you have this now - the red triangle of So Khong:
""
Inam: the holy symbol give you the following:
Extra Lay On Hands (the feat)
Extra Channeling (the feat that gives you more rounds)
And gives you a +4 holy bonus to any channeling checks you do.
""
4) Ibinu could continue with Sophia, magic items, etc. As for the healing vest thing, ask Culkin about that. You probably even saw him wearing something similar to this during Kallik's operation.
5) Kallik could continue with Axe. At any given point during the day, the axe is usually softly grumbling to itself in that same strange language.
You can still elect to spend time with Egret during this break time, but I don't think we need to RP Egret any more for the break (those last two posts pretty much nailed it)
Sorry for dropping out like that. A really bad headache and some stuff at home took me out. I doubt I will get a post up on friday as work will be brutal tonight.
No worries - break time means no apologies necessary! Hope you are feeling better.
Speaking of which, it seems like we're all kind of back to posting - our two options are:
1) Start back up tomorrow (that would be 3 weeks of break time to play with)
2) Give it more time, and start back up say 8/3 (which would be 4 weeks of break time)
Let me know how everyone is doing in terms of being able to post regularly again!
Another week would be nice.
Thumbs up. We'll make it tentatively 8/3!
Wooded area would be the goal if Kallik is not stopped to go tot he meeting.
I would second Ibinu's request for the 8/3 start back up date.
Still trying to balance new work aspects with life.
I'm ok with the slower pace since summer at work tends to kick my pale butt.
Let's keep the slower pace going a while longer then. I think I see a date I'd like to resume - August 10, which will make it two years since we've started the campaign. That will give you all 5 weeks total for down time, crafting, etc.
I am kind of liking the slow RP stuff. Much as I want to get on with the whole plot thing it makes sense thematically for people to need some downtime to recoup psychologically. I mean we did venture into what seems to be a land of the dead. And also met a baby dragon!
I'm here. Gotta leave for work soon so I cannot post at the moment but if you would like to do the quest for finding the guard Kallik tried to kill we can as Inam seems to have gotten swamped with life or work. I can do both when she gets back.
Understood. Set the scene for you to talk with the guard you attacked.
My post last night was eaten by the sight crash. Beat after a rough shift today....got home from work about an hour late. Will get a post up tomorrow. Inam is going to be excusing herself from the scene from Kallik and heading to meet her mother.
Thanks for the update - sorry to hear your post got eaten!
That is unfortunate in both cases.
So to make a bit of narrative sense of the Kallik/Inam scene, we'll say -
Edoardo is interrupted for saying something by Kallik
Kallik apologizes awkwardly as Edoardo leaves
Inam and Kallik don't have time to say much to each other before Lui comes in (sooner than expected) and tells Kallik Antonio has returned to the Temple for the day
Inam, flustered by Edoardo's exit and Kallik's whirlwind entrance, prepares to see her mother.
Sound about right?
Ibinu, if we're moving you to "tomorrow", what are your plans for that day, roughly in order of priority?
Talk to Culkin about surgery vest, though I don’t have money to buy one. I may just buy a Heal kit or two and toss them in my new bag.
Then deal with the tree if allies are free. If not, start making money.
So how is everyone feeling about 8/10 as the date where we close out the hiatus? That weekend (the 11th and 12th) could be used to calculate crafting etc (especially Ibinu's stuff).
I'm personally enjoying the RPing - I mean, I could RP Egret, Fi, Culkin, Inam's mom, the council, or even that weird owl guy until the cows came home, and be content. The thing I definitely want to avoid is starting up too soon, and I know you all had RL stuff going on recently (Kallik's injury, Ibinu's baby, and Inam's work craziness) so I'd like to hear from all of you about how you're feeling.
I am going a little crazy in life with my head and some depressive issues but I think things are leveling out as much as they are likely to anytime soon. I can be good to start back on the plot stuff by then. Assuming things don't get crazy. Though I am also enjoying the RP stuff.
