Where It All Began: Dragoncat's Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Dragoncat

Monk powah

Fast movement and slow fall here I come....

best out of two rolls for hitpoints
Roll #1 1d8 ⇒ 8 +2
Roll #2 1d8 ⇒ 3 +2

I will be camping next week, Monday to Thursday. I might have signal some of the time, but am not likely to post much. Please bot me as needed.

Bumped the cloak to +2, maybe now I'll pass a Will save.

Roll #1: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Roll #2: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

I think I've completed Eostre's level up. Again, please correct me if my math and stuff is wrong.

How much money do I have to spend? Since I'm a proper Cyphermage now, my instinct is to turn the scroll-making machine up to 11, since I'll get a ton of bonuses for making and using scrolls, but I'm not sure if I should focus on boosting other things first, or if there's anything we've still got in the form of treasure...This is the first time I've gotten a character to a level this high, and I'm not sure if I'm wizarding right.

Will level Evelyn up asap!

Level 3 spells, yay! :D

Any ideas on what kind of gear I should get myself before we move on?

Sorry for taking so awfully long!

I've updated, and the only important updates for you to know are:
- I've got Cure Serious Wounds
- I've got Neutralize Poison

Ready to move on! :D

Any ideas on what kind of gear I should get myself before we move on?

I don't think there's actually any time to upgrade gear. We pressed straight on to the Misgivings, given the fact we have to make haste.

But I'm still under WBL at this time, right?

I got some additional gear (though I still need to update my alias), based on Runecat’s saying we’d go with the wealth by level approach. It’s a little artificial in terms of story, but it makes it less likely that the level-appropriate monsters we’ll face will just kill us. The DM could always say we found our new items in the ghoul’s treasure.

Oh, I can honestly not remember we're doing that! Must've slipped my mind then.

In that case I'll have to review my own gear as well!

Got Nicat's alias updated, ready to go!

Eostre - you look like you're a long way below WBL, since you have almost no magic items (unless I'm missing something). A few thoughts on magic items:

If you still plan to use your glaive, you could get a +1 glaive. I'm not sure it's worth it for you, since you'll mostly be spellcasting, though you could get a masterwork one for occasional use.

Otherwise, I'd say a cloak of resistance would be a good choice, then an amulet of natural armor or ring of protection, for when you don't have mage armor up.

A level 1 pearl of power might not be a bad idea either, depending how much money you've got after the above items.

My glaive's already masterwork, actually; it's my bonded item.

Thank you for the suggestions, Nicat. Any thoughts on how many scrolls I should start investing in?

Working on getting the map set up now.

I'll be camping again this weekend, Friday to Sunday, and unlikely to post.

Sorry for the radio silence for the past two days. I was asked to switch to mid-shifts for two days because one of my co-workers got her wisdom teeth pulled, and I came down with an obnoxious cold at the same time, so I needed my rest in-between.

I'll be on vacation till August 5, without internet access. Feel free to bot Evelyn.

It probably won't matter, as the Paizo site is rarely up these days, but I'll be at a local con this weekend and won't be posting much.

Everyone survived the maintenance ordeal?

I survived, but if that outage was all 'maintenance' then I'm going to call the car accident I was in years ago a 'repair opportunity.'

Ok, it looks like the website is staying up now.

Who’s still here?

I think we all are. Everyone but Ekan has posted in the last week or so, even with site hiccups, and Ekan's player has posted in other games recently.

Yeah, I had a feeling their potato server just gave out after crawling at turtle speed for many years.

We are being humiliated by a door! >:(

Can I suggest that Conner just make a bunch of checks, since we’ll presumably get it eventually? We have been rolling pretty poorly.

Okay, you know what? You know what, dice roller program? I'm playing a human fighter, I don't need more humility.

A quick heads up: I've got some tests to study for, so my posting for the coming week will likely be limited.

Take your time, m'dude! We will be here when you pass them! :D

Well, that wasn't creepy, Evelyn!

It's from a zombie shooter I used to play all the time when I was younger; Left 4 Dead 2. The crying girl is known as the witch. The moment you come too close, or do something else that startles her, she'll scream and come running after you. One swipe of her claws and you're down, and she'll continue to lash out until you're dead.

First time I encountered her I got the same creepy vibes our characters now have!

AWKWARD!

I decided to roll her Perception on a lark.

Nat 20.

So, anyone read the new book on Sandpoint yet? Some stuff in there about our characters' friends REALLY made me chuckle!

What new book?

What new book?

Sandpoint, Light of the Lost Coast!

Ah. Never had a chance to read it myself.

I won't spoil anything, then!

I'll be on a long work trip Oct 9-28. I'll still have internet access, but will have limited time to post and will be in a very different time zone. Bot me as needed.

Speaking of trips, I will be leaving on one myself tomorrow to Lake Geneva, WI, the birthplace of D&D! While I will have internet access for the five days of the trip, posting will most likely be phone-based and therefore sporadic and laconic.

I have RETURNED!

Good GRAVY you're good at scaring us, Runecat! 0_0

Yay! That means I’m doing it right!

Over the past couple of weeks I've had zero motivation to post, because the PbP format doesn't really grip me as much as it used to do.

I've enjoyed playing with you for a very long time, and you're an awesome party and GM. However, due to the reason mentioned above, I've decided to withdraw from the game.

Very sorry to hear it, Evelyn! It’s been great having you in the game, perhaps we’ll meet at a Pathfinder table somewhere someday.

We'll miss you! You've been a great roleplayer, and MVP. :_(

Man, that sucks. Sorry to see you go.

It was fun playing with you while it lasted.

Sympathies, I hope burn out doesn't hold onto you for long, but you'll be missed regardless

DM Cat - with Evelyn dropping out of the game, how should we handle her presence in this part of the adventure? Can one of us just bot her as we explore the house and find Aldern and so on, and then when it makes more sense in the story, she can leave us?

That sounds like a good idea.
