War of Ages (Monkeygod's Golarion Game)

Game Master Monkeygod

So we still have Kolm, Meredian and Avlar.

Adin and Pinky are currently MIA. If we've lost them for good, we can either recruit new players or call this game quits, which I would rather not to, but if that's what must happen, I will.

Up to you.

I'll give them to monday to check in, then we can decide as a group what to do if they do not.

Pinky says he's still in, I've got him on google chat. He's busy at work riht now. Not sure about Adin.

Yeah, like Kolm says, I am still in this game. Pinky is just watching Meridian trying to wheedle more power from wherevere he can, he he. He is used to this sort of stuff from Mer (and all mages), as they spend most of their time gathering as much power as they can, he he.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Well, it seems Adin is a no-show. If you want, I've got a friend who'd be willing to join the game. [MG, TCG, it's Grigore from the undead game]

Oh, cool. Does he have a character all ready? Or at least something in mind??

If you need, yet another, player I have a friend who is part of my RL group who is getting back into PBP's. He's actually been following along this game a bit. A player who is no longer here sort of became a running joke with us. Not sure what he'll play, but I'll have him post a concept if you want another player..

Oh, cool. Does he have a character all ready? Or at least something in mind??

He doesn't have a character ready, but I think he's got an idea. Not sure what it is, though. :/

G'day Gathroc, Vesta. Nice to see you guys :D
As far as character concept, I've got three rough builds that I'm 'decided' on:

• Gnomish Sound Striker Bard
  
• Human Empyreal Knight Paladin
  
• Orcish Ranger (Combat Style: Archery)

Also, what are your feelings on templates? If it's not out of the question, Half-Dragon of the Red variety would be my choice. The template would only be for the Ranger, as a Dragon-blooded Orc just feels oh-so fear inducing.

Another Half-Dragon? Lol

Those templates are totally fine. We lost a caster, but feel free to create whatever you want.

I suggest going with either the Bard or Ranger.

I like the idea of a Large sized Orc Ranger pumping out arrows the size of a man's arm.
(oh yeah, would you be willing to cast Permanency on an Enlarged Orc, Meredian? :D I'd be springing for the cost, of course...)

And a gnome carrying around a drum, spewing magical sounds of deadly force....Yeah, that'd be fun.

By your post in the discussion thread, you're allowing custom magic items as per the PHB rules, correct?
I'd like to run this item by you, just to make sure everything's dandy.
Cost of each aspect of the item is included for clarification

I'll do the permanency if you like. no prob.

1, Decided against the Enlarging for now. Maybe later, eh?
2, Here's my full build, made a slight change to the Bolt (gave it +2 and distance instead of +3), and finished everything up
3, A bit of an explanation on backstory, yaaay. I'm going to write more of this sometime...but brain hurt, am just done building character by hand

Female orcs are not exactly welcomed with open arms into the ranks of the warriors, but Amani's prowess and ferocity with a bow eventually earned her the acceptance of the tribe. Her keen eye and strong arm made her the combat equal of any male, and her devotion to destroying the enemies of the tribe was respected by all. But the strongest of the females is still just a female.
Ambitious by blood, Amani had hoped that her skill would be enough to earn her right to fight and die on the fields of combat, but the chieftain decided to take her as one of his wives, forcing her to carry his litter. Even the savage orcs did not allow their mothers to charge headlong into glory, and Amani spent every pregnant moment waiting.
Soon after giving birth, she stole the warbow of her chieftain and fled the tribes, running off to the western shores of Golarion. Years of wandering from city to city toughened Amani's body, and harsh life forced her to rely on prayer to the spirits of the land for strength.

Aaand that's all she wrote. I can't really think of a real reason that Half-Dragon would be applicable, tbh, but I'm sure I'll come up with something.

Any chance I can get you to change your first name? I can't help but think of the Troll tribe/empire from WoW every time I read it.

I didn't even think about that, sorry sorry. How's Tamami?

Pic

Avlar is that color.

I don't like that one. It sounds too forced, with the double "T" beginnings.

Split the difference and go with Tamari?

How about we get rid of the double T and hope the dwarf doesn't oppose this one.
You know he's just jealous that he's so short compared to an orc woman.

Now there are too many "L"s and "M"s in your name.

:P

And there are too many hairs in your beard.
Edgar you troll :P

Pinky takes one look at the newest party member and his wings flutter in excitement, the pink striations growing more pronounced.

"Hey, stop ragging on my lady...She is with me NOW!" There is a note of infatuation in his telepathic voice.

Shakes head at Pinky.

I'm flattered, Pinky, but you know I'm an Orc, right? :P
You're just too small for this mother, in many many ways.

Sorry guys I had a sudden death in the family, so yeah I dropped off the planet for a while. Let me know how things will go, I am good with anything.

Not a problem Adin, we totally understand. TBH, I have no issue keeping you in the game, just didn't know what happened to you.

I am not the type to disappear, personally I find it a bit annoying when people do that. So I am not about to do it myself.

:O Good to see you back.
MG, if my added char to the game would be a problem, let me know; I wouldn't feel right swiping Adin's slot.

Actually I was considering dropping out of this game due to work and RL issues, so MG if you need someone to drop out, I can let Lumusi take my place.

We already lost some people so I dont think group size is a problem.

DM: Lesser time stop question.

Round 1; Cast lesser time stop (standard) leaving me with a move action and swift action. Everyone else is "stopped."

Round 2: Full round worth of activities, but no one is moving.

Round 3: Standard actions, but everyone else starts moving again after my turn.

Is that about the size of it?

The way I read lesser time stop. Round 1 normal and cast spell, Round 2 only Meredian can do anything, Round 3 Normal again. The spell gives you one round of actions and ends as soon as you take them. Thats how I understand it, I could be wrong.

Well as you can tell by the IC post, I am officially dropping out of this game. The reason has nothing to do with any of you players, or you Monkeygod. It is just a combination of RL factors which have made keeping up with my PbP games more difficult.

To all the players: I hope you all have fun and can finally take down Treerazer. Go ahead and spit on his mutilated corpse for me, will ya?

To Monkeygod: Thanks for letting me play Pinky in this game, man. I have always wanted to try that particular combo, and I think it worked out well for the most part. Maybe if I get some more free time, Pinky can pop into the World Serpent Inn, he he.

PS: Now how to level him up to 20th level? Man sooo many ways...

Sorry to see you go, but I do understand. If you ever want to come back remember that Pinky and Mer are telepathically connected still, so it wouldn't be difficult for Pinky to find Mer.

Well, it's unfortunate to see you go, but I understand.

There's always a welcome spot for you, should you be able to return and I suspect a welcome shoulder as well.

So who is up next for a wish?

I'm not sure what they delay is here, but I feel the need to post this.

When I first began this game, it was to have fun and help me explore the high end rules of D&D/Pathfinder. I had, and still have plans in mind of this game, but much like I am in real life, I tend to wing it, based on PC actions and changing my mind as something better or more comes along. Perhaps this isn't the best way to run a game, but it seems to be the best way for me to run one, especially online. I don't have the time to create some long, complicated plan, with player's guides, handouts, etc. I wish I did, but tween work, other games I'm in here on Paizo and finally getting back into playing World of Warcraft on my brand new laptop, I just don't have the free time, not to mention all the random things in a given day.

Besides having fun, I'm laid back in both playing and running. I like to insert some humor and whimsy into my games, either as a PC or GM. I do not know if everybody in this game is like that, though I know Tiny Coffee Golem is pretty much ok with this, as we share three games as PCs(Damn dude, we rock!!).

I also realize we're down to four PCs, a pair of casters and a pair of beatsticks. Though I guess we have a fifth in the wings, possibly. Sadly, I had wanted to DMPC in this, switching off GM duties, but Kyra is way too busy running what I hear is one the best AP games ever.

I do not want to end this game, but it may be time to do that. I have no problems with continuing to run this game, but if you want to bow out, no hard feelings, we can either recruit new players, or I can put this game to rest, and work on a newer, better one. or something...

... though I know Tiny Coffee Golem is pretty much ok with this, as we share three games as PCs(Damn dude, we rock!!).

Agreed.

As much as I love the concept of this game I think it didnt quite gel. It may be time to cut our losses.

I have no problems continuing, but it may indeed be time to give it up. Whatever you decide is fine with me.

I am good with what the majority goes with. Personally I would have liked to give Treerazer a beat down but that could just be me. ;)

If everyone thinks it is time, than should end it instead of dragging it out.

"end it" appears to be the consensus. Thanks everyone. Good gaming.
