Yet Another ... Rise of the Runelords PBP

Game Master ziltmilt

Starting in the sleepy coastal town of Sandpoint, danger lurks.

Moe than a little luck (and a strategic bless weapon!)

I was sure we were gonna die.

The Exchange

The fact that it couldn't leave the room is the reason its cr is low enough to be added. We would have died if it had buffed up. Funny story my wizard in my other game dropped it with the wand of magic missle as well.


It failed to hear you guys in time to get all its ducks in a row (although it did manage to get 1 or 2 in a row).

Hi all - I'm having work issues at the same time (and maybe because of) suffering acute "who gives a s#+#, the whole world hates you" depression.

I am struggling with most everything and with the exception of my core game will distance myself from my pbp games for a brief time.

If you guys are happy to bear with me about a week/two weeks or so (hoping new meds help my outlook - lord knows my current cocktail isn't helping) then I'll look at this game again.

If not, then I apologise for missing your expectations. I'll withdraw and wish you all the best.


No worries. Get well soon, and we look forward to having you back in a couple of weeks.

In your absence, I'll get my kid to fill in for you, if that's OK.

Hope you feel back up to snuff soon, man.

The Exchange

Hope you feel better depression is a painful burden.


Sorry for the delay in posting: site was down again yesterday.


Well ... not sure if Hakak is still around or not. I'll wait a bit longer today and then update this afternoon.

For my own part the meds have me feeling marginally better but new work demands are crushing. I am not pulling the pin but you'll need to be patient to see how things pan out... again, if you want to drop me I understand. I have just one game in me atm and its a labour of love that I've been running for a year now that I just won't let die other than that I am struggling.


Take your time. This part of the adventure path is nearly finished. I believe we're going to retire Selia and Jub, I don't believe Hakak is still with us, and so, within the next week or two, I'll recruit a couple more to join us as replacement PCs.

So Ned and Lledr are staying? I'll miss the others.


Ranger (guide) 8| AC 18(22) | HP 86/86

I'm staying. This is a good game!


8th lvl Halfling (Rogue 6/Sorcerer 2); 22, 2'10", 32#; Str 8, Dex 20, Con 13, Int 8, Wis 9, Cha 16; AC: 21 (touch 17, ff n/a); hp 64; Initiative +5

Yup, I'm sticking around. Digging this little halfling, and having fun!


It sounds like the party is leaning towards resting in town for a few days prior to finishing exploration of Thistletop.

Let's do this, unless someone disagrees: While you're resting, I'll post a recruitment for a couple of new players and we'll retire the PCs that aren't going to stick around. At this point, that should include Nich, Selia, Jub and Hakak (and if Nich and/or Hakak say otherwise, you're more than welcome to stick around).

Then, once the party is newly formed, I'll resume the game. Sound good? I anticipate a very brief hiatus ... maybe a week, if that.


Ranger (guide) 8| AC 18(22) | HP 86/86

Sounds good

ok - should be in


Before I forget ...

welcome to 4th level!


Ranger (guide) 8| AC 18(22) | HP 86/86

Cool!

Lleidr is going to take his next level in rogue. His ability increase will be to DEX, going up to 19.

3rd level rogue hp: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Favored class bonus, +1 hp, with CON gives him +7 hp, total 32.
+1 FORT and +1 WILL saves
+1 BAB
7 skill pts: +2 Acrobatics, +1 Bluff, +1 Disable Device, +1 Perception, +1 Stealth, +1 Use Magic Device
Sneak attack damage goes up to +2d6
Gain trap sense

Adjustments to Arg: effective CL goes up to 4, hp become 16, +1 BAB, +1 WILL save, increases to skills to reflect Lleidr's increases


So, I *might* have found 3 new players. If they're interested, they should be posting here in the Discussion tab soon. Walter, thanks for taking over in a pinch awhile back. I hope we get to game together online again very soon.

I'll take the PFS average if thats ok...

I added my stat pt to Wisdom, putting me on track for 18 at level 1 (around the time that headbands of Wisdom come on line).

Fav class to skills - Spell Craft is up, added a point to perception, religion and Diplomacy. I am not sure if I am needed to be a 'face' character but can semi hold my own now.

Lvl 4


I've got a replacement for Jubrayl, and possibly one for Selia. I'll be back online tomorrow

OK, I believe I am reworked and ready. I am not sure if there is more equipment or money - but otherwise in good shape I think. Let me know if this looks ok.

I feel like Selia's becoming an homage to The Three Faces of Eve :)

That smart ass comment aside, welcome new Selia!


We've also got another player that's taking an existing character, with a rebuilt Jubrayl. Lleidr, I think the new folks are going to have questions about using the treasure that's been found so far and using it to upgrade for new equipment.

Also, new folks, please note - the party hasn't fully explored the last dungeon yet. So, just maybe, they'll recover more gold. Who knows?


Hey everyone! I've been permitted to take over Jubrayl and I'm thrilled to be here. I'm still reading over the gameplay thread but it looks like that last excursion took a lot of of Jubrayl. If you note any changes in personality, you can probably attribute them to that experience ;-)

I'm also interested in seeing what I can do to gear up this paladin a bit, his armor is a little light and he doesn't have a ranged weapon of any sort.

The Exchange

selia has a ring of protection and clock of resistance I shortened it to rop +1 and cor +1 on the character sheet.

Hey, new Jubrayl! Did you get to the part where Jub ended up owing his life to Lleidr and is sworn to repay a debt he never can?

Zilt, I'll do my best to answer any questions about previous inventories, but I got a little lost in the end and just made up some numbers and gave Lleidr whatever magic items I wanted.


Oh hi, Lleidr! I must have missed that part - that'll teach me not to speed read through a whole campaign ;-) One slave paladin, comin' right up!

The new players (old characters) were included in the GP and item split.

End of dungeon loot 645.5gp. This was divided by 6

There are lots of posts on items themselves.

Cool - because Selia only had 16 gold according to the sheet!

I will swap out 50 gold of the 645.5 and keep the Chain Shirt, though - she can use the extra AC point, and it shouldn't negatively impact her any. (and I suppose recover 12.5 for selling her studded leather instead).

I also have listed a scroll of burning hands - was that one of the scrolls sold? Or should I retain that.

And I still have Abyssal Book down, but I saw in the thread that no one seemed to recall what this was. I am rereading old posts to catch up, so maybe I will figure it out.


Jubrayl has some equipment issues. He has a +1 bastard sword, but would be forced to use it two handed as he doesn't have exotic weapon proficiency - whereas I envision this guy as a sword and board type. I looked at the loot entry earlier and he is supposed to have a composite shortbow, which wasn't listed on his character sheet. And this guy needs better armour ASAP. How much gold should he have rattling around in his coin purse/sack/giant carpetbag?


Ranger (guide) 8| AC 18(22) | HP 86/86

You should have at least the 645.5gp mentioned earlier.


Also, not to beat a dead horse, but Thistletop isn't fully explored yet.


Just remembered, it would be a good idea to review page #3 again. Although it is hard for me to explain away the posts by Mervyn the gnome bard. Remember him? I liked that guy ... too bad he dropped.


Ranger (guide) 8| AC 18(22) | HP 86/86

I don't suppose there's a masterwork agile breastplate avalible for sale? Book cost would be 550GP

I wouldn't get rid of the bastard sword just in case we run into creatures that need magic weapons to hit them! Maybe keep it as a back up. There was a composite short bow in the treasure. Ned has a regular longbow you can have if you prefer.

Page 3 of the gameplay thread?


Ned, yes to the agile breastplate and yes, page 3 of the gameplay thread.

Selia, sent you a private message.


Yeah, I'm going to hold onto that bastard sword just in case; for the time being Jubrayl is going to purchase a longsword so he can use his shield, keeping the bastard sword for bigger threats.

Does the composite shortbow have a strength rating appropriate for Jubrayl (str 17)?


From the way I read the SRD, the bow is created w/ a specific STR rating in mind, so yes, you can get one for a STR of 17. You'll take a penalty if you try using it if your STR ever drops below 17, though.

Gotta take off this evening ... I will post an update on Weds, probably in the morning.


Sorry guys .. I'm feeling off this evening. I'll get an update tomorrow.

However, we can assume you're all rested by now and are ready to get back and finish the job in Thistletop, if that's indeed what you want to do. I'll need to know where you want to start inside the complex. There was a hallway on the 2nd level you left unexplored, there's the passages behind a secret door on the 3rd level you just found, and ... this has been awhile so you may have forgotten, in the thistle tunnels outside Thistletop island, there was a large room with a hole in the floor, where you could hear the ocean. Nobody went down there and checked it out.


Ranger (guide) 8| AC 18(22) | HP 86/86

We may as well start at the top and work down so the large room with the hole would be my vote.
