Dwarves of Gold Peak

Game Master Nathanael Love

Unb is back! And he has mount!

“You summon a light horse or a pony (your choice) to serve you as a mount. The steed serves willingly and well. The mount comes with a bit and bridle and a riding saddle.”

At lvl5 that lasts 10 hours. If he is in a cart, could he summon two? If so that’d give us three horses to pull two carts full of supplies

How long did it take us from the road?

How many return trips can we make in 10 hours?

Can we leave the carriage and use the carriage horses for the carts to return to Gold Peak?

If we camp for the night, Unb can prepare all Mounts for 1st level spells, so 4 or 5, right?

Can we shift the material into fewer carts?

cheers

Ok, so using the horses you brought gets 1.

Counting all 1st and 2nd level spells Ungebrochen could prepare up to 10 mounts per day, which needing 2 per cart could get up to 6 of 16 carts. No, the grains were essentially filling the carts so they can't be combined to fewer.

It's a 5 day journey back to Gold Peak.

Anyone have a better plan than 6 of 16 carts?

Not I

Get a 40 or above on diplomacy and convince the trolls to pull our carts back.

Given that they might have our horses and rhey almost definitely have our people, I think we should go after the trolls. If we cover the grain, it might last a little while. Given that the options are

1. Return immediately with a little grain and no dwarves
Vs
2. Go after the trolls for a little bit, maybe rescuing some dwarves, finding horses, and figuring out what the heck happened

I vote for #2. But given the con damage, we should fight a little more cautiously.

And just to be clear, what are our troll killing options? I, for one, have no fire or acid

I thought the tracks showed that the dwarves were all dead.

If we can save dwarves, let's go save dwarves.

However, we need our Con back before attempting trolls.

cheers

Vargas can throw 5 lesser restorations around per day, but then is only using 1st level spells for fighting.

Vargas with 2nd level spells and Rubius can both summon fire elementals to aid with troll cleanup.

You couldn't tell what happened to the Dwarves, but it is not confirmed that they were dead.

Yep. And I bet Ungebrochen can help with fire or acid too.

So you know that creatures get a size bonus to stealth. +8 for tiny I believe.

I anticipate that we might need to retreat in formation while engaging these trolls to give ourselves more time to take them down. Engaging a dozen trolls in melee is suicide.

If we have time we can fortify the cave entrance. I can make us a defensive position, like the tunnels under Gold Peak. Fight on Dwarven terms.

How can we heal the CON faster?

How can we lure a couple of them out?

Yes, Kragg. A bottle-necking fortification is what we need.

I am sorry, I will bow out of this game. It goes just tooo fast for me.
I am very sorry!!!!

Sorry to hear it, was fun having you here.

Suppose for finding a replacement we should do an invitation? Have it be one of the captured dwarves so they can join quickly

Yes. Does anyone know anyone who'd be interested in the type and pace of the game?

I might...I’ll send out a pm

Haven’t heard back yet. Could we bot Unbebrochen for this fight?

Yeah, sorry. . . Every chance I've had to log on the last two days other than on my phone it's been down for maintenance; I'll push forward in a few hours when I can get back to my computer.

I would like to express interest in submitting a replacement Caster.
To be fair, at least one more person in caster4lifes game also considered doing so.
I'll take a look at build rules, party and recent events and come up with someone shortly.

Both Mordred and the other character (baggageboy) he mentions come highly recommended by me. I think Kragg will agree.

*Very* solid players. Can’t recommend enough

Kragg- I've added a younger brother named Tarthstan and a younger sister named Suiza to your family tree.

Notably, your rebellious and not quite actually an adult sister Suiza has decided she will take the Skycaptain trials and has charmed her way into a training spot.

An Oldstone as a skycaptain? The shame! Her blood is in the stone, so she should get her head out of the clouds.

Thurgrom- I've named your grandfather Thor Thunderhamm, and your father Thorson. You also have an uncle Gromm and cousin Grimm. Grimm is also undertaking Skycaptain training.

Wonderful! A chance to visit long-absent family!

Just as an update, I am almost done with the submission.
I still need to gear up, and read up a bit more on the background/setting - unless defining character history can wait and be done in cooperation with GM - he seems to actively participate in the process :)

Dvalin is the lucky guy I would like to re-use for this game.

Some thoughts: You need arcane support - I have an Arcanist in Rubius game, wouldn't want to double up. Sorcerer would have been fun, but more so if there's a more versatile full caster already in the party, and it seemed the previous caster tried to take care of knowledges. So that left Wizard or Witch in the running.
I decided to go with Witch - because it overall fit my idea better than the wizard and allowed a few spins on mechanics(e.g. Patron Mirror=>Mirror Ball=>Steel Sphere=>a gift from the mountain forged in sacred fires-)...I'll need to flesh those out more but will read more into the setting/contact the GM before I do.
I should also say that due to the process being ongoing, nothing is final(e.g. False Focus is definitely not locked in). But I figured I should give a sign of life :)

I am very aware "basic idea for character goals/hooks" was part of the recruitment OP, but I feel with a replacement char, it's a slightly different situation - be assured I'll not neglect those, I just didn't start with them.

A witch! Didn’t see that coming. But I’m sure he will be a great addition.

Yea, I will work with you on fitting him into the world. If you have any questions ask.

Think after a few days need to bot

Sorry guys, I got slammed with a huge work project that disrupted my normal morning posting schedule.

Leaving tonight for another week long business trip with limited, random access to post. Please bot me when necessary.

cheers

Will get a combat post up in the morning (~11 hrs from now).

Kragg, I know you are busy this weekend. If you let me know how many squares or cubes of fortifications you can make, I'll be happy to mark some stuff on the map and add my bear traps so we can keep moving. Or we can wait until your done with your job stuff for the weekend. Either works for me. :)

Sorry, I had a con this weekend as well so I haven't updated. Will get to everything tomorrow.

Bump!

Will get to a computer to check map and post either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Guys

I’ve started another week long business trip, so combat posts are tough for me. Durnim would cast anouther shield of faith with a standard and dodge with a flex move if he has time to buff. Please bot me.

Thanks

Please remove me from the game!

GL Durnim!

This is my inexperience in the forums here- anyone know how I remove a character from the game?

Go to campaign info and edit the campaign. Near the bottom of the edit page, you can mark a player as inactive. That way they won't get pings every time the game updates.

So, there is this feat tree.

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/weapon-of-the-chosen-combat/

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/improved-weapon-of-the-chosen-c ombat/

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/greater-weapon-of-the-chosen-co mbat/

Is there a deity that Kragg’s blast could be the favored weapon for? I love the earth blast and might well just stick to that element. But at 2/3 BaB his accuracy is going to nose dive at later levels. This would let him stick to physical blasts and get a single solid hit in (forgoing iterative attacks). While also getting past some DR.

Is there a way to make this work? If not NP. He’ll instead go with water as his second element for extra AC and a ranged touch attack.

I'm back. GM can you help me on the status of Durnim?

How many rounds has he had Shield of Faith and Dodge up? Does he have any other buffs or damage? When is his next turn?

cheers

Hey guys, I'm in Chicago for the weekend, I should be able to update tomorrow evening.

I'm back. GM can you help me on the status of Durnim?

How many rounds has he had Shield of Faith and Dodge up? Does he have any other buffs or damage? When is his next turn?

cheers

Hi GM

I’m back Can you help me answer those questions.

Thanks

Shield of Faith has been running for 4 rounds

Dodge has been running for 3

And Durnim also has Enlarge Person for another 31 rounds, and you can take your round 3 & 4 actions now

No damage taken

A heads up, due to a vacation, I will be sporadic at best from March 25th until April 5th. I'll post as able but it will almost certainly be far less than normal.
