Sorry I had to embarrassingly close my Rise recruitment by the way, it was an interesting circumstance.
Future games will likely launch without a hitch though....maybe =)
@Liriiestil: Oh...so my failed critical couldn't even succeed from the start.
Anyway, the high AC is understood. Just pointing out a rather funny circumstance for Bage. Despite being turned, he's helping out the enemy even less than his team. :D
@Yasss Queen: Even my rl games never came without at least one hitch.
Well, you did like 13 points of damage. I just happen to have 276 of them, lol
My issue with timezones? Almost all of the actual posting happens when I'm asleep!
Giving Kei some extra time to take his turn I would prefer not to roll for him.
If the GM doesn't post 24 hours past the PC's 24 hr window, does that mean we auto win the combat?? :P lolol
Since I'm already fighting for the other side, I guess I'll just have to roll for them.
How many hitdice does the Nameless Warrior have? Now that you have entered the game I need to be able to see your current character sheet.

Sorry not trying to pause the game I'm just currently lacking info I need to move the game forward. Mostly Kei's Will save results and the Nameless Warrior's character sheet.
Sorry, hadn't shared it cuz it's not quite complete... But the Spheres and Class Features are complete, so there is that.
Anyway, he's 30 HD
Thank you guys for your prompt responses.
Hmm. Is Bage still under enemy influence?
Hmm. Is Bage still under enemy influence?
Yes, the Balor commands Bage to destroy his fellows.
Hey guys I'm popping an Interest Check for a Diablo 2 based game, if any of you would be interested please let me know, either here or over on the thread.
After this combat and a bit more of roleplaying there should be a slot in the pacing of the game for an adventure run by either Derpdidruid or Monkeygod. Would either of you like to run your own adventure for the party soon?
... Could be fun actually...
But anyway. Nice to see the entire 'Nameless Warrior saving Zaidel from being killed by a Maralith' thing is being completely and utterly ignored by everyone. Not like I've been incredibly excited for his dramatic reveal every since we started the game or anything and the fact that his dramatic rescue and reveal has been neither dramatic, a rescue or much of a reveal in the slightest has completely taken the wind out of my sails or anything.
I mean, sure. The sudden appearance of a guy whose mere presence is enough to make a Balor - one that was named as the fricking father of the Drow - to immediate NOPE the f$&* out of there isn't a hugely impressive deal or anything. No, I'm completely sure that dealing with the dead guy who shouldn't be dead in the slightest because the Nameless Warrior stopped the final blow from landing is much more important.

Well, I think it is the fact that Zaidel is their friend and that he almost died that caused them to focus on him. Also the combat is still going, typically you say thank you to new rescuers and characters in the downtime after the combat.
NW has to save the day first, then introductions. Besides Zaidel is such a likeable fella.
Yeah. Where would we be without our pet Zaidel?
I don't mind the fact their focusing on him... but well. That's the thing. He almost died.
Everyone is acting like he did actually die. As if NW didn't disarm the demon before that final blow could land. That's my main issue.
I can see where Fury is coming from.
Zaidel used his spontaneous resurrection feat, but he never actually died, because Nameless Warrior intercepted the killing blow.
However, it apparently got lost in the shuffle. It happens, especially when one goes out of their way to not really be an active part of the game. It's entirely possible Zaidel skimmed right over Fury's post. After all, he's made several in the past, and didn't actually contribute to the game, so why should this time be any different.
Also, maybe you rubbed some people the wrong way, swooping in like a literal freakin superhero, saving the day, and scaring away the bad guys.
When that wasn't actually needed.
I know I was kinda disappointed the Balor actually fled. Like how lame is that?! He's a freakin Balor Lord, which are basically *demigods*, he shouldn't be scared of anybody, but that's exactly the corner you backed the GM into with how legendary and badass you've made Nameless Warrior.
Finally, yea, we're still in the middle of combat. Sure, we could post internal reactions, but considering the level of crazy this game has already had, a guy with a lamp post showing up isn't that remarkable.....
... huh. I thought that post was going to be in support of me. Wonder why I thought that.
Seriously through. Implying that my post was missed due to the fact my posts hadn't contributed to the RP is quite frankly insulting. Every post contributes to the RP one way or another, and whilst there hasn't been any interaction with Nameless and the party, the building of his character and his interest in the party are just as strong contributions to the RP as any other arc so far.
Skipping someone's post is just rude.
Secondly. I am rather resentful of the fact that I am forcing the DM to do anything. Not only did I check several times if Nameless being as well known and powerful as he is, is okay. But he's actually not that strong. I mean yeah, he's stronger than quite a few characters at the moment. But we have someone who is 100% invincible, a girl who can mimic pretty much any ability, someone who has wish as a spell-like ability, an actual GOD, and a Sayian who will likely be hitting Super Sayian 3 and beyond... And those templates have some crazy numbers.
Nameless has his reputation, sure. But that hasn't backed the DM into a corner at all. Fear is hardly the only reaction possible upon seeing him. You could want revenge because of a past evil (or good) act he committed. You could be curious as to why he is here, what brings him in contact with the others. You could be ecstatic even, because finally, a real challenge! Or even thinking more in the lines off how much influence and fame you'll have if you defeat the infamous Nameless Warrior!
So no. I did not back anyone into a corner thank you very much. And whilst we know OOC, his interference wasn't necessary. We didn't exactly know that IC now did we?
Fury, I apologize. I did not mean to be rude. My enthusiasm to try my new feat, which I feel is what Yass was leading me to do, overlooked your disarming the marilith, leaving me with enough HP to stand. I never want anyone on the forums to feel 'less than' due to my actions.
I hope you will accept my apology.
You used/have an Aura of Fear, what exactly did you thing was going to happen?
Also, mechanically, Zaidel wasn't dead. He was dying, but due to Hard to Kill, he auto stabilized up to zero. So he was unconscious.
I'm guessing maybe he forgot about that.
Even still, you planned to jump in and save the day regardless.
Step back for a moment, and think to yourself that *maybe* that's not the best way to have revealed your PC. After all, I know plenty of players who hate when the GM does that.
And that's exactly what you did, so much so, that you're upset the PCs have yet to react to your superheroic reveal/entrance. The only thing that's missing is a swoosh of your cape and a call of 'Here I come to save the day, Nameless Warrior is on the way!'
Note too, that I never said you haven't contributed to the RP. You have. What I said is 'you haven't actually contributed to the game'. See the last word there?, 'game'. Till now, you have yet to enter into the actual gameplay which, due to the very nature of the vast majority of D&D/PF games, is party based. You aren't a member of our party yet. You're the weird peeping tom stalker who has been creepin on us since we woke up.
I certainly agree with Alyssa. In a game with as many characters and as much chaos as this one, it is difficult to incorporate every single character into all of it. I will say, I agree with Liriiestil to some extent, jumping in to block a single attack doesn't guarantee automatic and full inclusion into the party, especially when you haven't made any effort to join us before. Speaking personally, the Vulture King is very attached and devoted to those he woke up with, and the Nameless Warrior is not one of those people. Since I like to end on a positive note though, so I will say, Nameless, there is still a whole game ahead of us, and while your introduction may not have gone exactly how you wanted, there are plenty more stories left to tell.
I apologize for ruining your reveal Fury, didn't mean to let a glitch make you feel put out.
Regarding being forced into a corner I don't actually feel that way and I am sorry the Balor Lord running was disappointing, I thought it just added well to the NW's reveal.
Regarding the NW he is special but basically the same level of special as all the rest of the PCs in their own way in my eyes so they can react how they please to things, what with player freedom and all. If you want characters in game to respond a certain way the best way would be to ask the players ooc nicely in addition to posts in gameplay.
... I'm just going to ignore most of what Liriiestil's said so far. I am not going to turn this thread into an argument. At all.
Just one thing I need to address:
You used/have an Aura of Fear, what exactly did you thing was going to happen?
That they'll be shaken by it? I mean, that's all it does: Makes them Shaken. Or well, increases their fear by one stage, and as none of them was afraid at the moment, it would have just made them shaken. Which is what, -2 penalty? Doesn't mean they'll run at all.
Now, onto other things:
Fury, I apologize. I did not mean to be rude. My enthusiasm to try my new feat, which I feel is what Yass was leading me to do, overlooked your disarming the marilith, leaving me with enough HP to stand. I never want anyone on the forums to feel 'less than' due to my actions.
I hope you will accept my apology.
Honestly? It's fine. I admit I was initially upset, but now that you explained your reasoning, how excited you were for using a super cool feat... I can hardly blame you for it!
Nameless, there is still a whole game ahead of us, and while your introduction may not have gone exactly how you wanted, there are plenty more stories left to tell.
Please, call me Fury
And fair enough. I probably jumped the gun honestly if I wanted a real dramatic reveal. Ah well, lesson learned for some other time.
I apologize for ruining your reveal Fury, didn't mean to let a glitch make you feel put out.
Regarding being forced into a corner I don't actually feel that way and I am sorry the Balor Lord running was disappointing, I thought it just added well to the NW's reveal.
... A glitch?
Either way, I admit that trying to please everyone can be tricky at times, and I am very glad you don't feel like I pushed you into a corner.
Through, I will mention... really hoping to see an epic freak out from Kami and the others when they realize who they're up against~
Oh! And important thing: Please tell me if I'm setting Nameless' age up to high. I'm not sure what of timeframe you're working with here, and I don't want to accidentally break it.
A game glitch, you know, when things don't go exactly how they probably should have gone due to forgetting a rule, misreading something, etc.
Just a general error.
Regarding Nameless' age feel free to make it what you want, although I have been dropping hints for awhile I'll just explicitly say that time is seriously messed up in the multiverse currently and it flows at different speeds in different places due to the Big Bad doing some very bad things that are wrecking the multiverse.
So time is becoming something of an abstraction so there is no need to worry about precise dates regarding the PCs most of the time, or in some cases even regarding wild time gaps.
Yass,
As it's apparently not always noticeable, I sent you a PM :)

Thanks for telling me I'm a bit disoriented at the moment, lol.
I dislike the new site layout.
I agree. It’s rather terrible.

Hydra Babies!

^That is a link. Couldn't tell at all with this new color scheme.
Aww.
!!!
Links are visible again.
Slightly better now.

For all interested, it's from the Baby Bestiary, a book chalked full of baby monsters and how to take care of them. The pics alone are enough to be worth the buy.
Not sure what Fury's up too, but in the meantime feel free to move forward we can just rewind time for his introduction if/when he posts.
I look forward to the party each raising their own hydra and having their own funny version of "release the hounds!" against people that annoy them when their pets grow up.
Oh, we have more than one? I though we gave most of them away! Yes! Mine is going to reach back and bite me all the time as I ride it because I didn't bother teaching it not too!

Actually that is a good point, might be time to start thread digging, I can't remember did you guys actually physically hand the eggs over? I know that was the intent just can't recall if it happened.
GM Fail.
Regarding Paizo's website "upgrade" I'm trying to be a good sport but I am a little annoyed.

To clarify for everyone:
Alyssa handed hers over to the Lady in the Woods' helpers. The assumption was that everyone else would have, as well. However, then Kei said something about his baby hydra egg, well after our meeting with the Lady in the Woods, and no one else said anything else about handing theirs over. So, as far as I can tell, only Alyssa turned hers over. This can be corroborated by the fact that I'm the only one who actually posted giving the egg away. Which is really sad, because guess who has ranks in Handle Animal!

Alright, thanks for looking into it=)
Forgot to reply to Yasss' question from the other day:
While I am not currently up for running a full plot for all the PCs, I could either run a small side quest for a few PCs, *OR*, I could narrate a scene for Liriiestil, and any PCs who go with him.
This would be after our foray into the city.
I've been working on a small thing that could potentially tie into the main plot.
It's to do with a apocalyptic dangerous custom creature that's attracted to relic that's tearing its way (litteraly) across the world to get to all of us and devour the key. The thing I'm contemplating is probably a good bit tougher than some of the hardest monsters in the bestiary, the plan though is that the PC's encounter it within a heavily populated area and have to keep it from obliterating the entire populace.
Lot's of preparation, lots of people being initially mad at the PC's for bringing what would essentially be an apocalyptic down upon them. Then lots of amazment when it's finally defeated.
Also, Yasss, would you be interested in making a character for when we run stuff?

Sorry for the quietness, I got hit by a sudden curveball that really delayed my responses. Should be able to reply properly today.
So I slipped on the ice outside my home and landed on my back/rightside bringing in groceries. I'm pretty hurt but I'll be ok, unfortunately my right arm is f+$~ed up so I can only type with one hand, not a huge deal but it slows me down alot. Just an FYI.
