The game begins anew the moment everyone is done with their CLANG.
Don thy collective codpieces, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
All leveled up and items chosen. Cloak of Hedge Wizard (necromancy); Hat of Disguise.
Daxniss is almost ready just have to pick skills and two items
*eyes Daxniss with hand hovering over the "engage" button*
I'm afraid... Is it okay to be afraid?
*wink*
All fields are in the green cap'n, she be ready for warp speed!
Daxniss took a ring of sustenance and a hat o' disguise, I had to double check my skill points to make sure I had them in the correct spot and usage.
After more than a year, has Argon had a chance to sell off his old masterwork chain shirt (250gp value)?

Yes, he can get half his money back unless you want to play it out in-game and leave your fate to the whims of the dice.
Great, that's perfect. Now he just needs somewhere to spend it.
Q:. What do you (the GM) think about Called Shots?
Till now I've never considered them, not really. But with the giantess' leg, I wonder if it's something we could use, if allowed.

I'm game if the group is.
If it went live, how would it work rules-wise?
One consideration of possible note is the NPCs (though likely only the intelligent ones) have access to the same advantages as the group, so some of you might end up in eye patches and with shattered knees.
Wouldn't this be covered by the feat Dirty Trick or something like that?
What does everyone think?
There's always an opportunity to role-play it out without actual negatives being conveyed instead, or to only do it on critical 20s or natural ones, but again that would go against the group as well when they're on the losing end of poor rolls.
I'm ambivalent.
I'm not really for it, but that is due to the low rolls I'm getting as a pc, I think it is more for flavor text/role playing purposes but that is just me.
I'm kinda 50/50 on it to be honest.
It can be really useful, mostly for martial weapons characters, but it's very much a double edged blade.
On a vaguely related sidenote: I really need to get the Warpriest spell of Cure Minor Wounds for Ssilax. I could really pull of some ATM healing action then. 1 hp a rd of healing comes in really useful outside of battle.
One alternative would be for GM interpretation, and players would accept the result. So, "Argon attacks the giant, aiming for her bad leg if possible" Hit: 22, Damage 14.
I'm fine with that too.
Re: warpriest - where is that spell? It says they just get cleric spells.
I'm cool with DM interpretation :)
I could be mis-remembering the Cure Minor thingy. That might be a 3.5 deal, to which I say "B~#%*$&~!"
Pathfinder and 3.5 are pulling a Shadowrun in my head! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
In 3.5 Orisions were not endless, so having one that could cure a point of damage made a lot of sense...
What is Daxniss looking for with her perception roll?
Tis a great roll, and I would like to do it justice :)
p.s. If it's just a "I roll Perception because it's Saturday" I will give you a stupid amount of detail of a singular birch tree named Life'saBirch and how it feels to live in this blighted place.
The Norns have dictated that the magical spell Grease is not flammable.
Blame them, I'm on your guys' side, but sadly I am powerless to their whiles.
Daxniss was looking for other creatures trying to sneak up on the group, or if something had taken note of the group, more or less keeping an eye out for danger.
333 days have passed since we each birthed our current level 2 characters.
I intend to move us up through the levels rather quickly, especially because J has asked us to be around level 12l before we relocate to Sigil, unless someone is digging the slower progression pace.
My ability to run will evaporate in the last week of August, as I have a block course right around there, and school will come blazing back with the ferocity. Going from level 2 to 12 in that short of time is only possible with weekly levelling, or a monstrous jump at some point. Would people prefer that I take the group up a few levels and hand it off before J takes it - or would J like the game at a lower level?
Would people prefer that we CLANG often or have a fast forward at some point that wracks up a few levels?[/]b]
Oft CLANGing will be a pain of little bits of work constantly undertaken, but a bunch of levels will be lost chapters in our character's stories. I'm torn personally. I like playing my character through everything, but the low level game isn't my favourite thing in the world (especially as a spell flinger), so I'd be leaning toward the big jump and rapid (likely monthly progression on July 1 and August 1with the big jump right before the hand off).
[b]Thoughts?
I would probably rather have you level us as seems appropriate, and then have J take over at whatever level we're at (and we're level 3 now, not 2 :-)). If that's too soon for Sigil, perhaps we could then do a level each, at least once around the track, before reaching Sigil. If, at that point, we are still lower than 12th, we could then bump up to 12?
I would rather we avoid jumping up to level 12 if we can. If anything, we can just modify the DM switch off. I also enjoy the level by level progression, allowing us to build up story. We could do a little speed leveling while in the city.
Cause trying to take out a giant or two at our current meager power doesn't sound like a good way for us to level, lol. Maybe for leveling up the giants after we get smushed :P

Oops, level 3, my mistake.
I'm game for whatever, though not sure I'll be able to take over for a level anytime soon, as I'm but a leaf in the wind for the whims of my workload.

On an unrelated note: Is it too soon to announce my new giantess character?
Well once August rolls around I can take over for a while, we might not be going to Sigil until later, perhaps in the winter months of this year IRL.
Anyone that posts everyday between now and August 1 will receive a +1 Luck Bonus to all of their saves. Anyone that posts everyday between now and the end will get an additional +1 Luck Bonus to all of their saves.
As always, should you know that you'll be away, then we ask only that you let us know, and do a barrage of posts on the day you're back in the saddle.

Would a CLANG on July 1, a CLANG on August 1, and a CLANG when I hand it off in late August be acceptable to hand the game back to you with the group at level 6 J?
As long as you're cool with us being level 6, I'm ecstatic not pushing the pace anymore than that.
S$!@e, I'm going on Vacation July 1st through the 4th with no Internet access until the 4th, along with not having service on my phone at that time.
As for the leveling thing, I don't have too much problem with that. Oh man all my good rolls before combat.... that means I'll be useless :)
Plans: I'm on vacation (but with access, mostly) from Aug 17 to 31 ish.
Re: rolls.... If that crit is confirmed, Argon did 55 damage!
Well that left a mark or two.

Thank you for the heads up M.
In that time period will be the end of my DMing run, as I have an out of town block course in that week. Think I'm off from work August 25 to September 7 (going to take a mini-vacation as well), so I'll be done in/around August 25.
Well that left a mark or two.
I probably didn't crit the thing...

Action Points (admittedly, a touch late to use one post-roll to add a +4)!

You will never know!
*evil laughter
I already used a Hero point on the confirmation (rerolling it)!

Hero points are great for Fort Saves too, though liberal castings of Restoration, Lesser will likely make this a moot point.
Hmm, good hint. +4 after the fact....
I guess Argon is at -13, not -3, because of the negative levels?
"You cannot spend more than 1 hero point during a single round of combat."
But technically those saves should come after a day, right? I believe, as you mentioned in email, there's no save on the initial drain. I am drained. After a day, I get a save and recover if saved. So if Argon is still alive, and has not been cured of his negative levels, he'll get those saves. He can use the hero point then.
That seem about right?

-13
The negative levels are the icing on a very dysfunctional cake.

Exactly right :)
Wrathe's spider poison should be long gone after a year's holiday...

Wow.

Thanks.
Going to leave it in though as a monument to how stoned I am.
lol, nice :P
So, if Ssilax goes in to either help move or heal Argon, he is subject to an AoO, correct?
Argon can take a partial action this round (as a single action surprise round).

No AoO, as Wrathe ate it when he was in close. Argon is now fully out of range of AoO as the wizard used two rounds to move him.
hehehe, Puff, the magic dragon, that was a good one, lol
The guard was talking only to Puff when he mentioned hands bound and answering for crimes, right?
No worries, I'm not selling Ssilax out.... Just want to be clear.

Yes, only he is currently under arrest by the guard for the crime of using foul arcane magics.

Minor Contact: Phia (prostitute)
It was one of these ladies of the small hours that first broke his heart. Phia had extremely pale complexion was enhanced by the skillful use of chalks, her eyelids were darkened with kohl, coral powder was rubbed on her lips to make them stand out in the flickering light of the candles of Desia's chamber. The young man's jaw had dropped agape, but his pursuit was for naught. Phia was not one to ever settle for one man, and would not give her heart away.
While Phia had never been a lover, she had become one of his closest friends. As he was a man of learning, and dusty tomes, she was a creature of the world. Gone was his constant distractions, and in its place a razor's focus. Through her he learned so much.
Velinioas
An ancient elven healer that teaches Ssilax the finer points of the healing arts. His shop and home are in the Ivy District. He takes care of the local brothel workers and those in need of care. Remarkably closed mouthed about his past, he almost seems to being trying to make for some past misdeed.
Storm
An odd elven druid who protects a small druid grove in the dusty section of the Ascendant Ward. Silver haired and with a temperament of her name, the elven maiden first encountered the group when they were teleported into her Circle. She aids the group as well, becoming friends with the group. Storm also befriends the shy dragonkin, occasionally dragging him out of Dainoth's hidden home. She also seems to be protective of Ssilax. Of note, the elf is a born lycanthrope, specifically, a werepanther. She has little if any real connection to elven society, and would be considered "City-Born" among elves.
The next two are debatable:
Baba Yaga
Holy Mother of the main Church of Nethys in Caern's Ascendant District. Seemingly older than Dainoth, the old woman is crazy. Crazy like a fox. Her web is far reaching and she is a master at playing people like a lute. She doesn't seem to have any desire to see harm come to Ssilax or his friends. The only one who knows what is going on in her head is Baba Yaga. A manipulator of epic magnitude, the woman has kept the church from being placed under control of the Arch-Magus. She claims that all within are clerics and students of Nethys, not mages. Lacking irrefutable proof, the Arch-Magus can only spy upon the church. She is possibly not human, but an actual witch. Wouldn't that be fun kids?
Vomas
young, chipper acolyte of Nethys that pointed the group in the right direction and pointed the followers in the opposite. Very large danger of some hero worship from the boy.

Which of the above was the free DM-granted minor contact?
Amazing work with the giantess all.
<CLANG Level 4!>
Congrats~
Please post here when you're done, and everything takes effect after a night's rest.
Just have to write up a contact or two, other then that I have leveled Daxniss
I now have the rogue talent Black market connections, along with Umbral Gear.
