Early work day? Pshah! 0700-1900hr 2 days on, 2 days off rotation here. Granted, it tends to turn into 4 days on...2 days off...meh.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz"

Somedays the colors taste funny....

That sounds like madness! Good luck!

I'll admit I don't do that, but I do usually work 10 or 12 hour shifts. I saw you said you work as a paramedic; I work as a hospital lab tech (at a small country hospital) so I have a general idea of how it goes for you hehe.

I know I could not do that. I will stick to the warehouses. Physical labor with no climate control is how I challenge myself. Minimal having to deal with people and I am responsible for my health only. Well mine and a old grumpy kitty.


Warms my heart to see all the "love" for So Khong.

That is good. The GMs heart should always be warmed :)

Supposedly there is bad weather coming in so if I do not post that means I have lost power.

Stay safe. I will not be leaving the house much.

Eeek! Stay safe you two!

no building igloos in your front yards...wait til the storm passes first.


I'll leave you guys to react to the news of Brinn.

A mechanical note about Volcano's Land: an interesting consequence of getting rid of casters capable of 9th level spells (clerics, oracles, etc) is that the "Raise Dead" spell does not actually exist.

Let me know if I'm missing any obscure corner cases, but I think (in this campaign) the only class capable of reviving a dead creature is a paladin using the Ultimate Mercy feat. I actually like the idea of paladins getting this unique ability a lot.

Looks like this would take a 7th level paladin to pull off. While not unheard of, 7th level NPCs are not exactly common.


Just wanted to say I really liked everyone's posts over the weekend.

Glad you liked it all. It was fun.

lol. time to pick on So now again but this time with very very specific disdain and dislike.


Inactive

Out of curiosity, is the action at the other table also happening at the same time or are the two games basically a 'same world, different realities' deal?


I started both the tables at the same in-world date. The two tables have considerably different stories, but yes, they are occurring at the same time. We'll see if it ever actually affects your characters...


female NG Oread Phantom of Rage HP 69/69 |AC-18 T-12 FF-16 DR 5/slashing. DR 5/magic| F+8 R+3 W+6 |CMB+13CMD 24| Init+1 | Perc +5|

That would be fun!


Inactive

Yes! If it happens to happen, that'll be pretty cool :D

well...hopefully it wouldn't result in a tpk for either party :)
Though that would be one hell of a way to get bragging rights. :)


Sorry posting has been slower this week - busy time at work plus my 2-yo son's birthday party today...planning on being back to my regular schedule this upcoming week.


Inactive

No worries HS, this week/weekend has been a little busier for me too due to work.

I am moving and work was insane so it is all good to me. Now I am off to bed so I can run my game tomorrow.

No worries. Been a hectic week with the kiddos for me as well. One teenager going on 30.... and a pre-teen.

At least I got to spend a good 8hours at the climbing gym! :-D

lol sounds like we are all a bit frazzled with the discombobulation of the week. I have been out of town and dealing with health and then with extra snow for here at this time of season.
My posting might still be a bit irregular for a bit due to the endish of the jewelers busy season starting to wind down.


Trinh, I notice you refer to yourself as Bian in the narrative. Would you prefer me to do that as well when I'm describing things 3rd person?

If you don't mind, yes! Based on what I read about Vietnamese naming conventions, Bian is what you would call her first name even though it's last in the sequence :)

You have your destiny now all you need is your sword :D

Also this is meant in complete fun but it popped into my head.

Checking in; will wait a bit to see what, if anything, the rest of the group has to say before I post again. No rush though, I know weekends are usually quieter for a lot of games :)


Yep, generally the same here :)

Moving houses in one weekend sucks. And the wifi is really iffy. And yes you are stuck with the three of us and the chicken.

Sorry for my absence. Went to a con this weekend and it seems I'm not as young as I used to be...

7 games in 2 1/2 days took more out of me than I expected.

Yes the bloodrager just told you to not be angry. Weird I know! Sorry if that seemed a little pushy but Kallik likes Inam and doesn't want her to die too!

Oh not at all. I would hope the bloodrager has experience with channeling anger/rage. Would almost say a bloodrager or barbarian is an expert on the subject.

:-D


State of the Game!

With this being the start of Chapter 4 and approximately our 6 month anniversary, I thought it would be a good time to examine the game, make sure everyone's having a good time, all that good stuff.

The two main things I want to cover are: Loose Ends and Player Goals.

1) Loose Ends: Since this format is on the slow side and all the exposition is spread over 600 posts, I thought it would be a handy thing to remind you all of some of the things that have not been fully explained to you yet, since your characters may be interested in these, but it's not particularly easy for you all to remember every single little thing. Note that not all of this stuff is necessarily an earth-shattering secret, but it's stuff that definitely has not been fully explained.

--Gregori: what does he actually do? what's his relationship to the church? what happened to him?

--The White Obsidian: where exactly did it come from? who exactly attacked the people who found it?

--The Caravan Guards: how did they know about the White Obsidian?

--Infectors: are they on the fronts right now? how common are they?

--Previous Immune Heroes: who were they? how did they die?

--Lui: why was he so disturbed when talking to Bian?

--Sub-levels: where did the darkspawn in the Temple come from?

Let me know if I've missed anything that you or your character is still curious about!


2) Player Goals: I fully admit that I have not used your excellent backgrounds and goals to the extent that I could be. Now that we've established the basics of tone, setting, characters, and overarching "problem", I will be working harder to incorporate these.

Let me know if there's anything I'm missing, or anything you would like to add. This can be your character's goals (gain power in the Temple's hierarchy, or get So Khong to laugh, etc) or a player goal (more interaction with the NPCs you mentioned in your background, or more exploration of the city, etc)

Here are the basics I've got for each of you:

--Inam: learn more about your destiny, the secrets behind your sword and the chicken (and So Khong's interest in you); perform your duties to the utmost of your ability

--Kallik: work on your temper; find a place to belong and a group of friends (how does she feel about the others in the group right now?); player goal of working out issues like lineage and missing twin brother

--Ibinu: blackmail captain of the guards; get compensated for your time and effort; find out more about curse

--Bian: work on rift between Volcano and River (as well as rift between her and her family); find out what the heck is going on with all this darkspawn and infector nonsense in the last hour of her life


female NG Oread Phantom of Rage HP 69/69 |AC-18 T-12 FF-16 DR 5/slashing. DR 5/magic| F+8 R+3 W+6 |CMB+13CMD 24| Init+1 | Perc +5|

Just so that I have said it I am really enjoying this game!

I would like to add the young sylph I saved. So long as the rest of the group does not mind me keeping an NPC like that. From a mechanical stand point she could later be used for the leadership feat to fill one of those positions we do not have a good handle on, like a trap-breaker. Fluff wise Kallik is honestly interested in insuring the child is taken care of. Oh and because of her Kallik is going to want to look into the whole murder drug thing.


Inactive

All of that sounds good to me, HS/Kallik! I'm still getting a handle on the game and Bian as a character but I've been having fun so far :)

Also sorry for lack of posts the past day or two; work + sleep leaves little time for PbP :(
