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.
Damn, Umbral Gear is one of the coolest talents ever.
Clanged.
Of those that would be considered Contacts; Storm, the old elf and Vomas. I think Baba Yaga would be too well watched for Ssilax to approach without the arch-magus getting all uppity.
Grinn
Grinn had been sent for training with the city guards, the special operations unit that Argon had also joined. They arrived a day apart, and soon discovered they had a lot in common, even though there was a lot different about them. Argon outshone Grinn at any and all physical tasks and contests they participated in, but Grinn kept up when it came to the more cerebral exercises, beating Argon at them as often as not.
Grinn was not religious, not at all. He enjoyed philosophical debates with Argon - the only boy in the group who did. Others would roll their eyes at them once they got going, or slap them with the flats of their swords, or worse. The two played strategy games together, late at night, and one time they snuck out of their barracks to have a night on the town. Just the once, though.
The two rivals became friends quickly, and remained so, even after Grinn had been ejected from the harsh training. Through no fault of his own, Grinn had broken a leg, and even after it was healed it was never the same. Since he had sometimes struggled with some of the more physical tasks they were trained in, it became too hard after the leg, and he was unceremoniously removed from the order.
Grinn was disappointed, but also relieved, and he joined his father's merchant business with the intention of taking it over someday. Grinn and Argon saw each other rarely after Grinn left the service, but they remained friends and may well do so for life.
Recently, Grinn has found a new girlfriend, one named Me'lar, who came from the city below Caern...
Re: Clanging.... I might be a little slow at this. I'm thinking of a level in Cleric (nothing to do with our Theurge being occupied, though a backup is always nice). Probably will stay with Slayer going forward, just dipping his toes in Clericdom. A part of me would like to do Inquisitor instead, but I need to resist the urge to do that, plus there are some good reasons to make it a Cleric level over Inq anyways.
By slow, I mean I should be done by late tonight, one way or the other...
Oh, just to let you guys know, Ssilax has become a full cleric, not a hybrid caster. Loki and I chatted about it and it seems a lot better for our continued survival. The Theurge is a fun class, but would be better suited for a slightly larger group that had a a cull divine and arcane caster. And society that doesn't burn mages, lol
Okay, cool.
1. Argon is still going to take a level in Cleric. Good for when Ssilax gets beat by giantesses...
2. How will this impact the current storyline? Now we just need to prove he's innocent / he was never a cleric / these are not the wizards you're looking for / move along, move along.. ??
Of those that would be considered Contacts; Storm, the old elf and Vomas.
I'll take your first one, Storm, as the minor contact awarded by the DM, as the minor contact, which will mean that will be the contact that is less informal.

She's a wizard, Harry. Watch out for the fuzz!
Argon is now a first level cleric. He just needs a holy symbol...
Nah I think that Umbral gear is part of the stalker's gift, being able to pull things out of the shadows :). Although I'm not sure if black market connection is going to work with the story but I've made my choice, and it could be used for story purposes :)
Still having trouble with the contact part of things, will have to sit down when I get off from work and flesh them out.
I can't remember, did we start out in Cearn? Or was that a different city.

All changes are in real time, which will make things interesting to say the least.
/wanders off to change the headstone to the proper class
Working on posts as we speak. Twas a busy day, and didn't want to jump on my post until everyone had a chance to chime in.
I can't remember, did we start out in Cearn? Or was that a different city.
You started in Caern, and have spent the majority of your life in this city (less a little over a year). You have returned in the manner of boomerangs.
Ah s@&~e, I thought this was a different city well I'll have change my next post to reflect this. Sorry about the confusion on my part of the posting.
Oh, I din't mention it previously, but Ssilax chose Positive energy (Good) for his aura and other abilities.
Is Ssilax going to trade in some Int for Wis and Cha? Argon's Wisdom is currently higher...
Argon struggles to stay awake and has things to say, but this is Wrathe's friend and Wrathe's show, so he waits for the wizard to answer.
You're up sir for questions/requests of Phia, as it would feel a tad masturbatory for me to talk to me with you watching on with voyeuristic glee.
Wrathe being present conveys the advantage of a contact.
I'm kinda on the fence about that one. His wisdom is at 18 (switched out Int and Wis then through the stat point in Int, for the skill point.) After thinking about it, I'm kinda thinking I might be better suited to put the stat point in Charisma. Originally, Ssilax was going to try to stay out of any conversations, in part to Daxniss a little more room to shine.
However, with the switch to cleric, I have a feeling that Ssilax will be dealing more with people. Hence the diplomacy as a class skill now, lol.
It might be wisest to drop his int to 16 (still pretty smart :P) and put the point into Cha and the level up point into Wis.
If Loki says it's cool, I'll do the switch around. Plus the change to a 14 Cha, the +1 bump really isn't going to effect my previous Diplomacy roll.
Speaking of Diplomacy, can Ssilax try again. Saving magic folk is kinda a big deal. I was going to play his trump card and mention devils and demon infiltrating the noble houses. I was iffy on whether or not I could, since it's pretty much the same subject.
If Loki says it's cool, I'll do the switch around.
You all have the green light to change your characters around as you wish to optimize fun units, minus 3rd party material (my hope is that each DM only need open the SRD to be able to run the game).
Speaking of Diplomacy, can Ssilax try again.
How well you rolled on your first diplomacy roll is the reason that you're likely not joining the other magi at the stake, especially since you have shown yourself to be somewhat of a sympathizer/moderate for the most despised group upon Sel Torin.
Perhaps this becomes a source of motivation for Ssilax, as Wrathe is seeking out power to free those shackled by slavery. Though both should be ready for a horrific battle, as anything that affects the bottom line of the merchant houses will inevitably lead to the hiring of assassins from the thieves guilds.
Cool, cool, I get on stat switching. And thanks for the clearing that up.
As for being sympathetic towards arcanists, he is cleric of Nethys and all. Guess Ssilax's gonna have to work on strengthening his position within the church. Bring about such a change is gonna take a lot of support :P

Perhaps a novel way to look at it would be to replace wielders of arcane magics with pederasts that have not simply perpetrated upon children, but children you know.
Simply put, they are the scapegoats for all the world's ills.
While the god Nethys might espouse an allegiance to all magics, none would publicly support the arcane side of such beliefs, though countless people see through the direction of popular discontent.
p.s. The more I type...the more I wonder why I picked wizard.
p.p.s. Working on posts as we speak.
Let him kill you and be done with it!
Heads up, I'm out of town Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Might be able to still post by phone, but maybe not.
Roll high and use a hero point! Also good to know about next week. Friday through Late Sunday of next week I will be out of town, I will try to post using Mobile data on my phone while I am out of town.
Grrr stupid pazio eating my post! Retyped it up with most of what I had typed before.

You're just afraid of Ssilax!

Busy day today (golf, dinner, etc). Will try to post again tonight if I can.
After talking to Tentacledone, I just realized that I now have my own hammer space :)
lol, Hammer space!
So, just to clarify for my head picture, we are talking about our plans for the day up in our rooms after eating a hearty breakfast. It's early morning, and we're getting ready to each go chat up our various contacts for both personal(roleplaying), and a touch of gaming reasons.
This sound about correct?

Surely
Role playing:
Argon: Okay, now I'm the healer and you must do what I say...
Me'lar: Mm, okay Healer, sir. What first?
Argon: Remove your shoes. Your feet are in need of a bath and massage.

On another note, tonight is second in a series of Ptahfinder Society games I'm playing in. Or rather, Pathfinder...
Argon (Alman Slayer)
Daxniss (Wyrmtouched Rogue)
Ssilax (Dragonkin Cleric)
Wrathe (Xthian Wizard)
Oi now that can't be good....

*whistles innocently*
Multi-part posts would be good, if that's a means of getting out the Diplomacy checks earlier (consider Hero Points for this roll, since it's a potential exposition dump), and gives your poor, old, dusty DM time to prepare (if everyone tanks their roll then I won't need much in the way of time BTW).
p.s. I'll throw out a short post for Wrathe, but please don't take it as the effort I'm hoping for your to put in your posts (it's really just for flavour and to wrap around my Diplomacy Check), as I'm really just putting my time into the next DM post.
I will continue the second part later after I wake :)
You mean the second chapter? :-o
My laziness had an idea this morning regarding Hero Points.
Perhaps we should all just have 1 Hero Point per day, every day. It has the disadvantage of not being able to throw points around action after action, but the upside of using them more often (months have gone by with no one using one, since humans tend to hoard things like this), not having to track or award them.
Anyone have a strong opinion either way?
p.s. I had everyone set up to CLANG the next level at the end of the month, and I'm still planning to do so. Expect things to remain hectic...well, as long as I'm running things.
I like that idea, I would say that if anyone takes the hero feats we might have to modify them to 2 a day if a player takes Hero's fortune though. I like the idea of the one a day since it would be more of luck of fate, just my thoughts on that matter sense it would free the GM from having to keep track of awarding hero points.
Clang!!!
We'll probably use hero points a lot ore often. Every day is often every post. Is that too much?

I don't believe so as the DM need simply slow things down a bit, and stack up encounters in a day, to minimize the effects of the Hero Points being liberally spent.
Clang.
just need to spend some monies and whatnot and will be all set.

Okay, per in-game day. I thought you meant per Earth day.
Q: What is the current state of Argon's health? (and Wrathes, and Ssilax's?)
All I have is : "Argon and Wrathe feel their vitality returned to the with a few gestures from the cleric (restoration, lesser), which is made all the better as he heals the freshest of wounds (channel energy)."
Also, did we each receive 1000gp equivalent from Dax for the ring?
Oh, also, How much did Daxniss get for the silver statue? It's 50 lbs of silver awesomeness, all clean and shiny :P
Also, while in the temple (it's in chapter 2 of my upcoming post), can Ssilax switch out his Cloak of the Hedge Wizard (Necromancy) for a Cloak of Resistance +1? He's getting his armor there and sending the monies to the temple as his payment/tithe.
Okay, per in-game day. I thought you meant per Earth day.
Good point, yeah per Sel Torin day refreshed in the manner of spells and the like.

Full health, no level drain.
Argon's arm was broken, and he had puncture holes in his armour, but really that's more for flavour than anything I plan to offer up negatives for.
Also, did we each receive 1000gp equivalent from Dax for the ring?
Yes.

200 gp.

Surely, go ahead.
Thanks!

3 days to your << CLANG, Level 6! >> Let's make them epic and active.
My vacation got postponed I think it might now be at the end of July.
" I... have no words, and I will not offer gratitude, you and your friends did more than one could have. I.. gods... I don't know what to say, on this new information that you have given us. " Daxniss pauses, trying to force her mind to work in a more proper fashion as Grendal had done for more in his time.
This is the information that the deva provided the group. I was trying to give out a small synopsis post with a bit of flair.
Grendel would probably break your arm if you asked him to share :)
