Well it looks like this has gone kaput. Real shame since I wanted to do monster adventures with everyone. Hope we can terrorize civilization again.
Sorry guys. I got tied up with something and forgot to check here. I'm still working on getting the game transferred and made active, if anyone is still here.
still here.
Still around.
That's three. I messaged Agggghhhh, since they messaged me.
If only you three respond, how do you feel about us doing a "Take Two" as it were? I'd run another recruitment with slightly different rules, start up a new campaign, and then we'd start over.
I'm still here. Just been a bit slow lately. Covering both jobs midweek at the moment.
Still here
Not sure if that answers that, but you could create another thread if you wanted, you wouldn't have to deal with trying to get control of this one if you did.
I don't want to make everyone go through the prison break again if there's enough people to still run a game. It was more of a, "If I need to re-recruit anyway, why not just start over" kind of thing. Since we have enough to still run, I'll move us along to our fake hostage situation.
I will also be on vacation starting tomorrow through Wednesday. I may not be able to post, but I'll get something up on Thursday.
Wow, how did I miss that Igor did the smart thing, and took over as the farce-warden?
And here I thought I would get some fun totally failing to fool anyone.
:)
As you may notice from the fact the game is active again, and the name of the dungeon master, our GM has returned and will be resuming the game. I’ll keep things going until they’re fully ready.
Yes hey everyone I am back and will be ready to gm again next week if you will have me back.
Phntm can finish this combat if they want, after which you are basically free again.
Glad to see you're back. I hope the disappearing act wasn't anything too serious.
Welcome back!
Guys i have made a quick map for this current fight in Roll20. Phntm will hopefully move everything into place. I will upload a screenshot to imgur like before for those that don't use roll20.
Time to Bot our tarball?
Yep, that's what I think.
Hey guys we're running a bit slow atm. Don't worry I still plan to continue this game from the Cardinal's home after the escape. I will be creating a new campaign for it as I don't seem to be getting any new notifications when you guys are posting. This campaign may be broken for me.
Let's get escaping!
I'm also going to be working on specialised gifts for each of you as opposed to the usual and sometimes useless (for shape shifters especially) headband of disguise that the Cardinal gives you. So if you have an idea of something that would fit your character perfectly and be able to grow and improve with you to an extent let me know. It will start off weak at first so don't ask for too much but definitely think about what it could become as you become true monsters in the future.
Big or butchering axe or a cauldron that lets him cook magical meals
How about some kind of spoon/ladle/cooking utensil. It can start off with a +5 bonus to Profession(Cook). As it grows in power it could summon a magical cauldron, cook special meals and so on.
Sweet. Beef stew of healing!
I'm trying to come up with something for Igor - something that would be thematic. Maybe something that improves his stealth capabilities, or ability to bluff?
The simple answer for Dahlia would be a bow, but that's kind of boring. The BEST answer would be a one-off casting of regenerate :D
The most fitting answer is probably somewhere in the middle: a bow that shoots arrows of regeneration.
...I'm at a loss.
For Reginald, there is only one answer, a monocle, the powers or abilities it gives don't matter much, but he definitely deserves a fabulous monocle, and or a matching cane. The clothing he can get separately.
Although, something along the lines of the machinesmith's
analyzer working as a base for the idea being nice. Though likely a weaker version obviously. The eventual ability of true seeing at its most powerful would be intriguing.

Still stings like the dickens even as it heals.
For igor i reread his backstory and perhaps he would like to avoid a similar capture with the help of magic. To aid his doppelganger powers, something that protects him from scrying and divination?
I'm not sure what to suggest for dahlia yet but there's plenty of time. A bow is an option though i want these items not to be just damage boosts. Perhaps a magical veil of some kind?
For Reginald, a monocle it shall be. Maybe an eyes of the eagle effect?
Ooo, I like it. A cloak, perhaps, that can help hide him from detection. Perhaps it starts with an effect like Lesser Nondetection, and eventually grows in power to include an Undetectable Alignment effect and Nondetection?
Maybe a small boost to several things?
Thoughts-
Constant/at will detect magic basically free up a cantrip for me? With a small bonus on spellcraft checks would be a favorite of mine. With eventual bonuses on most knowledge checks as it grows?
Another idea-
Maybe instead, or in addition, it gives vision enhancements? Like lowlight, additional dark vision, ability to see in magical darkness/fog etc.
Either or both sound really thematic and useful.
That's fine i think Igor. A warding cloak. Lesser nondetection when worn.
Reginald, a monocle giving sight based advantages fits very well. I think at will detect magic and 1/day spellcraft reroll is a fair start.
That's ok Mei. I'll be creating a new campaign thread for this after the breakout is finished. I think that's half the reason it seems to have stalled right now. I might finish it off with 'cinematic' post if it doesn't progress soon.
Who is the spider queen? Is there somewhere i can read more about it?
I wrapped up this fight. If you want to cinematically wrap up what's left, Cardinal, that's fine by me.
Excellent will do. There are still guards left on the roof?
Yep. I also technically had some in the second floor of the guardhouse, too, but if it works better for you, they can not be there.
That's fine. Is Blackerly still alive?
Yes - he's on the roof of the gatehouse. He's arguing with his men over whether or not the Warden is an acceptable casualty or not. The Warden is actually Igor disguised as the Warden, with an extract of disguise self to help things along. I rolled a 30 for that disguise check, and he barely failed, factoring in the distance for being on top of the gatehouse with Igor on the ground and familiarity with the subject of the disguise.
Cool. I will have something up here this weekend. And we can continue in a fresh new campaign thread. I'll send everyone a message just in case too.
I don't suppose there's any chance I could come back in? I dropped out when I thought the original GM had disappeared and we'd be ending the game after the first book (if not the current combat that was up), and I've had a few months to get settled in to my new workload and trimmed my games down considerably as well.
I've been following the thread off and on with interest, and I stay as intrigued with the initial premise as I was in Recruitment.
If not, completely understandable, but I figured no harm in asking.
For sure! Fiain would definitely be welcome back to the game.
Thanks a bundle. looking forward to diving back in once the new thread is up.
Hey everyone, the new campaign is up. Post in gameplay whenever. We will start slow to make sure everyone gets a chance to get in.
