Setting up the campaign threads for the new game. Will retire the previous game once everyone has dotted over here.
Hey!
Dotting in
Leveled up, just need to transfer info to profile (...tomorrow )
No choices for pallies at 2, but I do get Lay on Hands and bonuses to saves.
Did swap out the 'give someone a +1' trait because I thought it'd be useful out of combat, but it's really intended for in combat, imo. Took one that reduced acp instead. Kept Skill Focus Climb because there are probably trees in the jungle.
Took my gear to the blacksmith to get some of it masterworked, also bought some mundane stuff.
Beyond an equipment update, Fain purchased a traveling dictionary and has been reading up on Skald ... 'cuse that's gonna get funny fast.
Profile updated.
Level Up:
+7 HPs
+1 BAB
+1 Fort and Ref
Discovery: Feral Mutagen - Whenever the alchemist imbibes a mutagen, he gains two claw attacks and a bite attack. These are primary attacks and are made using the alchemist’s full base attack bonus
Chirurgeon
Infused Curative - At 2nd level, a chirurgeon’s extracts of cure spells automatically act as infusions, and can be used by non-alchemists.
Vivisectionist
Torturer's Eye - At 2nd level, a vivisectionist adds deathwatch to his formula book as a 1st-level extract.
Skills (+8/level)
+1 Acrobatics
+1 Craft, Alchemy
+1 Disable Device
+1 K.nature
+1 Perception
+1 Spellcraft
add Appraise and K.arcana
Background
+1 Profession, researcher
+1 Sleight of Hand
Level up complete. Bluff, Alchemy, Arcana, Intimidate, Linguistics, and Perception improved. Leveled without knowledge of where we were going sadly. Luk Luk's breed of draconic blood has also been defined as Brass. Explains why she doesn't fear the boom accidents
Learning Skald, you say ;^) Would get funny for one person to have a limited skill of the language. Even more opportunities for mischief if Fain understands a few words and a bit of the grammar, but is far from fluent ;^)
Anyway, Thrym's numbers are done. Plenty of gold to spend since I didn't really have a lot of expensive gear to get, but I figure he can spend much of the remaining money on jungle exploration provisions once we get the full mission briefing.

That's what I'm thinking - maybe two or three levels before he's competent. Fain's only just learned Teldane. Especially with you having some grasp of the language and me using a translator - I'm looking forward to it.
Fun and easy way to simulate bad language skills is to use google translate multiple times... write out what you intend to say in English, then translate that via, say, Japanese to Spanish to Swedish, then post that Swedish result as the Skald translation and translate it one final time back to English, and post both what you intended to say and what Thrym actually hears you say ;^)
This worked great in one Sci-Fi game for a fellow playing an alien with a very basic understanding of English. Many fun times with the constant misunderstandings.
Love it - I'm all over it
Agreed! I am so tempted to have Luk Luk wait a few conversations before revealing she picked up Skald on the way to Magnimar. Either from listening to Thrym or reading some book.
Just don't all suddenly become fluent, or the curse portion of the Curse gets mitigated too much.

Righty O. After Magnimar at the earliest is when Luk Luk will start to understand SOME of what Thrym is saying.
And happy Thanksgiving (or Golarion's equivalent) everybody!
In a wedding this weekend. So I may not be able to update until Monday. Feel free to RP amongst yourselves or sort out supplies.
Hope they have a good cake. Enjoy!
Just for fun to think about is these items
Tropical Kits cost 120 and come with 1 dose each of antiplague and antitoxin, five fishhooks, a hammock, a kukri, 1 dose of vermin repellent, and a water purification spongeUE.
Herbs that can be gathered in jungles using Craft Alchemy include:
Goblinevine DC-16/1dose, itching bomb but need Sleight of Hand to prepare it
Leechwort DC-16/1d4 doses, +1 to various heal checks or +2 to heal check to staunch bleeding.
Nightsage DC-14/1 dose good for necromancers to protect undead from Positive energy
Happy Finnish Independence day, everyone ;^)
Happy Finnish Independence day, everyone ;^)
Happy Itsenäisyyspäivä!
Ditto!

Awww... ;^)
I think Thrym will invest 100G in an Antidote Kit - it gives a +3 bonus on Heal checks to treat poisoned characters. Good general item, since an antitoxins need to be targeted at a specific poison, and we don't know what manner of spider or snake is gonna bite us.
Water purification shouldn't be an issue, since Thrym has Create Water as an orison. Also, if we were getting camping gear courtesy of our sponsor, we can likely ignore that... A couple extra outfits would be handy, more than likely, since the humidity will be an issue, so I think Thrym's going to spend some gold on those as well.
Antitoxin and antiplague are generic cure-alls at 50 GP a pop for help with Fort saves before/after affliction. Antivenom made with the antidote kit IIRC is a actual cure after affliction. So a good call.
And a belated joyous freedom to Finland.
True in antiplague's case, but Nethys has this to say of antitoxins
This substance counteracts a specific toxin.
Although it goes on to suggest it also gives the save bonus against any poison (while being absolutely effective against one specific one)... which is a bit strange in RL sense.
Squid Launching from the Dynamite Goblins comic series I believe. Or that is what I thought the goblins did when I read the comic :p
Hmmm... if Vard was suspicious, he'd have some specific suspicions now.
Nothing suspicious whatsoever here <whistles innocently>.
I don't want to get too gruesome about the hunting, coup de grace, cleaning etc. but involving the count and showing some compassion for the animal is an important part of Fain's hunter side. Mostly I see him more as a bird watcher - but also this.
I'm trying to avoid using the term 'alpha' describing the tiger as a 'king predator' or thrym as a 'king monkey' instead of an 'alpha male' - I think Fain is knowledgeable but not that sophisticated.
I will be traveling today and away until a little after Christmas. I may be able to post but if need be, please bot Alenka.
Wishing you all the very best this Christmas!
Just don't let Thrym know about that alpha monkey bit :-)
Travelling next day or two too.
Can climb up a tree and act like a banana if necessary.
Just don't let Thrym know about that alpha monkey bit :-)
He'll never know ... unless he learns to read Halfling
Yeah. I expect things to be a little unsteady over the holidays. 24th, 25th and 26th may be iffy for me.
Holiday season is like that, I can respect the delay. And hope everyone has a Merry Christmas or non-denominational winter holiday as in RWBY.
Now I need a reason for Luk-Luk to teach Thrym halfing :p
Merry Christmas everyone!
Yes, a very Merry Holliday to you all. Wishing peace from my Christmas Celebrations in Halifax.
Merry Christmas!
Thrym? What are you using for Skald? You mentioned it in the last session but I'm afraid I can't remember ... Finnish? Oh well, my ignorance shall be Fain's ignorance.
Swedish for Skald... I can speak it, but it's still foreign enough for me... writing fiction in Finnish just ends up sounding silly to me... guess it's because I started reading novels in English in junior high and never again went for translated works.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and are enjoying the capitalist holiday known as discounted candy day.
I did miss the PM memo (bonks self) but it could come off as a nice reflexive response while she thought of the fallacy of Falroun's forging forth from the fronds.
Forewarning, I am in the path of some nasty winter weather this weekend so there is a chance I will be without power or Internet. If that comes to pass please do not wait on me and have fun.
Alenka won't stop them from leaving but she'll support others in the group if they decide to.
Were they invisible? Is that why we couldn't see them when we were searching the room?
Very high stealth. Fain got lucky the first time he spotted them, that he rolled high to see them and they rolled low to hide.

Not liking where this was going, Luk-Luk pulls the scroll from her belt and uses it. A shimmer shield of magic appears on her left arm. If a swarm of adorable critters attacks, the elf would much prefer they not maul her to death.
Doh! Wrong spot.
