Welcome, Tatiana! Glad to have you here! Or there... wherever you are, it's good you're there!
Welcome to the party Tatiana!
I like your spell selection for the scrolls here. Very useful to have in reserve. What do you think about adding a Hypnotism scroll to the mix as well?
Thank you so much Zinbah! I'm ready to jump in and assist the team ASAP! I don't think hypnotism is on the cleric's spell list, though I like the spell. Let me know if I am wrong.

Thank you! I'm glad to be here...or there ;) Slaughter those guards!! Make them pay for being Mitra scum!!!

Yeah you're right. I think Zinbah needs to craft that scroll then :)
Anyway I was looking over the Cleric spell list and I think Sanctuary, Calm Emotions, Delay Poison, and Undetectable Alignment will be good scrolls to craft in the future.

Perfect! I'll go ahead and scribe these before joining you.

Welcome to what's sure to be a great party. Here's to painting the town red with the blood of our enemies!
Morossa and Raymond: Thanks!
Spooky: The eagles I summoned have the fiendish template, which at 1HD gives them Darkvision 60, Fire and Cold Resistance 5, SR 5, and Smite Good 1/day. Which, aside from the Darkvision, probably don't matter for this fight since I doubt that the guards are spellcasters, or have any DR, and the eagles don't have a charisma bonus. So, for this fight at least, they should be effectively identical to their Bestiary stats.
I'll get my profile/stat line completed today! I meant to do it yesterday and ran out of time.
Stat line completed yesterday. Checking in. I hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day! ;)
Checking in.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't realize we'd still be here. Gonna be a few more days of wait, my bad.
No problem at all! I just like to touch base in my games if I'm not involved at the moment! Besides, I'm enjoying the superhero thread immensely!
I know I said I'd try to limit myself to only have 2 out at a time, but I'm under attack by two enemies, so I called out a third.

I may not post this weekend for the Way of the Wicked game. There is a gaming convention in town and I'll be playing games as well as running games at the convention on friday, saturday and sunday. I'll see if I can get a post or two in between days although I might not as I'll be pretty tired at the end of each day (as each game day runs from 8 AM to 11 PM)
No worries. I'll bot you in combat if need be.
I have been to 2 cons in my life, both in the last 9 months. I understand how tired you can be at the end of three sessions.
I give Amanda 70-80% chance of being alive when you get back.
Speaking of philosophies, Tatiana would never show mercy to the one in charge, unless instructed to by her superior. She would, however, be willing to spare the others if they dropped their weapons, got on their knees, and swore allegiance to the Prince of Darkness. Asmodeus covets new souls, even if they are pathetic henchmen such as these! If they refused...execution.
With Asmodeus, "might makes right". The weaker serves the greater. Unless someone in legitimate authority told Tatiana who was in charge, she would submit to whoever she perceives as the most powerful in the group.
I can't wait to join you guys! Enjoy your con Amanda!

Morossa is more interested in the slavery and servant side of things. Dead people make for poor servants. Yeh, you can raise them, but it is hard to get undead with real personalities - ghouls and ghasts are ok, but you need vampires, liches and similar for real party animals. The others, skeletons, zombies and the like really just do not cut it as butlers and maids. They are ok in the fields since any body part that falls off just turns into fertilizer anyway.

That's awesome! It goes well with my philosophy! Whenever I think of LE, Darth Vader is the first person who comes to mind due to his strict disciplinary and hierarchical leadership. Weak, sniveling slaves fit that to a T!
James Earl Jones' voice: "You have failed me for the last time."
Yea, Raymond doesn't really see much use in the whole "worship Asmodeus" thing unless it gets him toward his greater goal of being the Boss of Bosses on the criminal side of things. He's also less forgiving and would rather kill his enemies unless they specifically seek him out to surrender, but he's deferring to others right now because a prison escape like this is a group effort.
I still haven't decided if I'm going to have Raymond contend for being the party leader once we're outside. He may just tag along as an underling for as long as it suits his needs, slowly building a base of power, before he wrests control. Or, if the group seems to not care about the criminal element and is more religiously driven to claim power over the state, he might just stay quiet and do his own thing while making sure the new government doesn't take a dislike to his activities.
As I am sure you have gathered by now, Zinbah is more on the merciful side than on the bloodthirsty side. Now don't misunderstand him, he does indeed hate Blackerly and is quite happy to see him dead. He does have a more civilized bent to him but he can be quite cold (as when he ordered the Warden's death).
As for worshipping Asmodeus, he would probably pay lip service to the deity as he is not particularly religious. He worships knowledge of all sorts, the darker the better.
As for the party leader role, he is content to stay in the shadows for now. He does have the charisma to be the 'civilized' face of the group, and also he would need to play peacemaker between the other members. I can foresee a conflict between Amanda and Morossa shaping up here.
My guess is that Amanda, Lisbeth or Tatiana will end up as the party leader. Morossa is more forgiving at this point and would prefer to leave people alive. Also, remember that she is going down the path of the vampire, so she has to seek to control her occasional urges for blood, and the less she sees, the easier this is.
As far as worshipping Asmodeus goes, she is unlikely to ever be a complete adherent to the First. She is a skill person, one who stays in the shadows and strikes from there. Eventually I plan on her taking Shadow Dancer levels which will allow her to jump from shadow to shadow and avoid having to enter sunshine or moving water.

Hello! I am back of an exciting weekend of gaming. Boy it was quite a weekend with numerous games of Pathfinder played, as well as some other games like "Over the edge", and "Spark", and some indie games on the side. Looks like all of you handled yourselves well without me. Anyhow ready to get back to the game.
for HP's, if we're rolling.
EDIT - Wow, yay!
Oh! I have a question!
Since we're leveling up, I was wondering about fiendish boon. I was going to take the fiendish servant type of bond. Far less powerful, and won't be useful in most situations, but more in line with the roleplaying aspect, I think. Normally it only allows creatures with the chaotic and evil subtypes, but considering that I'm neutral evil leaning towards lawful with a lawful evil master, I was wondering if that would change the servant to those with the lawful and evil subtypes? Also, would alternative summoning options be valid (I'm thinking of the hellhound (lawful, evil) or the blink dog (fiendish template))?
Thanks!
OK I have Zinbah updated to Level 2. A couple of notes here:
1) He has studied the former Wardens spellbook so he can use the spells in there (at least the 1st level ones) as his own as he had his original spellbook confiscated.
2) He is going to use the Warden's Ring as his new Arcane Bond.
Spooky GM, let me know if this is OK with you.
EDIT: Also I am wondering to is in charge of the Loot. Could we get a Loot List posted somewhere, Spooky GM?
Remember everyone that you get an additional skill point per level. I'll whip up a loot list later on; things are pretty hectic over here right now. Warden's Ring is a fine bond. And yes Lisbeth, we're working with the houserule that anything Chaotic or anti-Lawful in Antipaladin is flipped to be Lawful and anti-Chaotic. So you can have a Lawful Evil servant.
Good job guys! Almost time to meet me!
Are we rolling HP, or are we doing averages? I don't remember that being mentioned anywhere.
Think I mentioned it in recruitment forever ago, but you'd be forgiven for not remembering that far back. Roll.
Roger that.
Also, WOOHOO!
Monk/2
I'm pretty sure everyone has rolled their HP now, unless I missed someone.
I got a little bit in on my leveling before I came in to work tonight, and I'm mostly done, but I'm trying to figure out what my new level 1 spell should be. I could grab Infernal Healing, but I don't see that as being something worthy of grabbing if we're just going to be getting wands of it. Rejuvinate Eidolon is kind of "meh" when we've got other ways of healing it, and it can't help anything other than my eidolon. Magic Fang could be useful for my eidolon, but it has two natural attacks and not just one, which makes it a lot less useful, unless I'm reading it wrong and it affects both claws as opposed to only affecting one.
I'm leaning towards Enlarge Person, Protection From Good, or Shield. Better battlefield control, or better defenses. Which would you guys prefer I take?
Remember to update your race field statblock with the new HP and saves, guys.
I will once I get everything done with my leveling. I haven't even updated the statblock in my profile yet.
If it was me I would strongly consider Enlarge Person as having an eidolon with reach is quite potent. One thing to realize is we do have Grumblejack now, so that may not be as pressing need as a personal defense spell.
PS. With that atitude you are showing, it may all be irrelevant now :P
Yeah I know, I was just saying that in general, it's to be updated once you're all settled in. Sometimes people forget about in games when levelling.
Well, my eidolon has a natural reach of 10ft, and I'm not sure if enlarging him will give him a reach of 20 or 15. As for Grumblejack, I don't think he's really going to be sticking with us. I think he's supposed to be a more permanent companion later on.
And the attitude is all a part of negotiating. Raymond was a boss on the plane of fire. He's not going to kneel to someone without good reason and good reward. He hasn't said "I won't do it." He's said "I can do it, but you haven't really given me any reason why I should beyond vague promises. Make me a real offer, and we'll see what happens."
Will try to get leveling done later. Mine is pretty easy at this level.
I think that Shield is a great spell. Cast it on you Eidolon to really buff his AC. Remember, you can cast "Personal" spells on you eidolon as well as spells only meant for humanoids.
Well, I went with Enlarge Person for my new spell. I have a feeling that Raymond will end up spending more than a few rounds in combat being idle while Sammy or summoned creatures do the fighting, so a full-round casting spell isn't much of a problem for me.
Also, I looked at the Reach evolution again, and it says to just "add 5 feet" of reach, so by RAW a Large eidolon will only have a 15ft reach if they already have the Reach evolution. Not bad, but not as good as I was hoping.
My profile and quick stats have been updated to reflect being level 2.
Just an FYI, I would have no problem at all with Raymond being killed right now. I know I'm pushing it, but that's what he would do. He's smart, but not wise, so he's going to be stubborn and think he's more valuable than he probably is.
I am kind of hoping that conceding for a year is enough to buy him some time though.
Raymond, I get where you're going with this, but voiding the contract won't really do anything beside make him kill you. There's no court to strike it down, just his will, and trying to turn around and say the contract is meaningless will only lead to him having you put down, since this is very much a "you're with us or you're against us" cause.
For now, you're just going to have to grin and bear it. I'm sure nobody isn't expecting some kind of event where you end up at odds with him, but until then you don't have any other options.
Oh I know. I wasn't going to sign it and immediately go "HAH! I WIN!"
It's more of an ace in the hole. Asmodeus is a fan of contracts, while Cardinal Thorn essentially violated the contract by including the "free will" bits but forcing it to be signed on threat of death. Eventually, when Raymond believes he has enough power to do so, he'll make a move. But until then, he'll play along.
Anyone have any thoughts about what I should buy? Bracers of Armor are about all that is really useful and if I can get a Wand of Mage Armor, that is much more useful, and less expensive, for many levels.
I have no problem chipping in for a wand of Infernal healing. It might be a good idea to create that one as we could probably steal the wand of CLW.
FYI, Zinbah will purchase a wand of Magic Missile (CL 1st) for 750 gp.
I am thinking a Wand of Mage Armor for me. Probably have Zinbah use it for me until I get enough UMD to be able to use it effectively.

It does appear some of us are going to go Negative Energy healing eventually due to becoming undead or some kind of class feature. I on the other hand will still need healing of the positive sort as I do not have any options to go that route (As I don't want to go Lich or Vampire). A wand of infernal healing can be useful although we'll need someone with infernal blood for that to work (Aka Tatiana).
