VV, thank you for 'splaining that. Hubby hadn't got that far yet. You have a real newbie on your hands.
Argh! I can't wait to see what Vetalia and Cashsara see. I'm picturing girls gone wild without the flashing.
Thx
Well... I guess it's with flashing, but innocent. Skinny-dipping is intended as a pre-swimsuit era norm. There's nothing sexual about it. Just a rich eccentric priestess trying to throw a party for ladies who follow Shelyn, her goal likely being to top the other big parties in the Snow Berry Hills.
ok
I must leave you for today.
I'll be back after sunday.
I will be a bit more free when school starts back up.
Alright! Dr. Mathias Mavrin is done! On paper! I'll get him up on here eventually! The last thing I wanted to ask was... The vials... Do I have to buy them or just drop 100g and just say I have an infinite amount?
Nice!
@Marvin, @Cashara, let me know if you want Endure Elements. The spell is intended to be offered to the whole party.
I'm using this Paizo blog post and this guide For handle animal. With the training harness my dogs and horse should auto succeed on commands to do a known trick.
The poodles are guard dogsLINK. The reliable seeming posts I found on the forums say the guard dog uses the riding dog stats
Also should we worry about all the animals and endure elements?
Also should we worry about all the animals and endure elements?
I just read about extreme weather and rules. If I actually follow official rules, a polar bear would freeze to death in his natural habitat within a day. That's stupid.
I'll hand wave a higher tolerance for animals—including the wasp. If the weather later proves to be so unnaturally cold it's a problem for them, there will be a means of them not freezing to death. (Rule #1 plot-armors them, but I mean I have an out planned for the animals.)
As for getting the spells now, I'm playing it as if there are just enough for the people, Cashara included.
We should probably wait for WW huh?
And sorry for the shotgun blast of PMs Johnny! I just kept on forgetting to say some stuff or got a new idea!

No worries, it sounds like your game will be interesting. I just saw Henry. Patchwork Island sounds interesting. A most dangerous game?

Damn. That obvious?
But thanks! I'm really quite proud of my little creation here! ≥}(nervous smile emoji)
No, just a shot in the dark.

You serious? Well the truths out now!
Be sure to still check the PM about it! I think I put in a bit of extra info!

Well A Most Dangerous Game an two more classics! When VV said that ep. 1 was inspired by A Christmas Carol, I dove into some classics for inspiration!

It's one of my all time favorite stories.

Reading A Christmas Carol to my daughters inspired me to make the episode a Christmas Special.
References to the holiday will be obvious at some of the stops.
Birthday today, Christmas the next two, mother-in-law's and oldest daughter's birthdays later this week.
Work will get a bit crazy the first two weeks of 2019.
Will post when I can. @Turlin, I have a thought, and will attempt to reply to your PM before Santa and/or three ghosts visit(s) your home.
Happy Birthday and Merry Crystalhue!
@WW,
While I'm certainly open to letting you bring a friend, please don't have your character leave the scene to get him. We can just bring new people in when characters are ready, and keep the explanation simple.
I may not have made it clear, but you're well over an hour away from clubs and casinos. The name of the current area, Snow Berry Hills, is actually derived from the word "snobbery." There are mansions and insanely rich people, but no clubs, shops, or anything that would attract the general public.
Also, I was trying to be subtle about it, but since at least one player caught on, I'll just tell you—you really want to let the oracle cast Endure Elements on you. The weather will become unbearable as you approach Elsa's mansion. (Elsa is the lady who fell off the roof. She's not responsible for the bad weather. She happens to live near the source.)
I'll reply to your PM at some point, though possibly after Christmas. But about the pet your friend wants, I'll need to stick to PF rules mixed with Sidekick stats (see campaign info Rule #7). He would need the maximum number of ranks in Handle Animal, then get the Monstrous Companion feat at Lv.7 with 7 ranks in Handle Animal to get a "dragon horse" or "dragonne." If he plays a caster with a familiar, there may be some Improved Familiar options that work.

In case it's helpful, here's a list of street names that lead to Elsa's:
• 69 Yodelina Valley Lane
• North Street
• 10,002 Victoria Road
The final confrontation will not happen at Elsa's, but you'll get a clue once you're in the neighborhood... along with a few goofy holiday references, which reminds me:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
@VV
Well, thank you for letting me know.
and My character is not going to get a friend, she is more responding to the message she got earlier.
If it's not close enough to walk, she shall take a train (it is steampunk after all).
But, My character may turn back if something where to happen to catcher her attention and draw her to the problem.
Working diligently on our eccentric hunter (you already know who it is) and had a question VV. Are there only Early Firearms or are there also Advanced Firearms?
@Turlin,
I'm thinking Wild West-ish as far as guns go.
_____
@WW,
I suppose Westedge would have a railroad leading south across Arcadia. There wouldn't be a train station in the immediate area. But that isn't really the point. If you leave the area for your character to respond to a letter you wrote to your own character, it means you are not interested in what I am providing in the game.
Please leave.
@VV
I had just formulated a plan in my mind how it might work before you had just asked me to leave.
I do not wish to, and I may delete the post.
but if you are not satisfied with my trying to get things to work, I shall leave thereafter.
Crap.
I just realized I can't delete that post.
But I have an idea
Merry Christmas! VV, don't let you kids crush your ribcage by jumping on it!

Well, I don't want to be a Scrooge. If you're interested, then yes, you can stay.
But please do so with the understanding that whoever is GM'ing shapes the relevant part of world and events. It's okay to have a backstory that involves some creep at a night club, and even to let that come up in your thoughts and words—but it's immersion-breaking to have your character run off and do her own thing, and unrealistic to do go on a personal mission in the time it takes the rest of the party to walk a mile or two.
Also, I keep advising you to allow the NPC to cast Endure Elements on your character. Rolling Fort Saves to avoid freezing to death is no fun. (It's officially GM-cheating to kill off your character, but you can still lose your HP and become unconscious.)
Merry Christmas! VV, don't let you kids crush your ribcage by jumping on it!
Too late!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
One more thing worth noting—I've dropped clues regarding the Big Bad. Cal picked up on the weather clue and thought to ask the right question that points you toward the correct location. Pay attention to what NPCs do or say. I tend to embed relevant info in fluff... and admittedly, I tend to have generous portions of weird fluff.
I'd like to move forward, so unless anyone objects, my next GM post will be on North Street. (@WW, if I move forward without you, you can still confirm you accepted the spell to protect Cashara from the cold. I can't stress enough how not-fun the combat will be if you have less HP due to failed Fort Saves.)
Is everyone's character combat-ready?
Er... no reason. Just asking out of... ummm... curiosity.

Cashara is going to meet them at the Party if they have not moved on. she would already be feeling the cold and would want some relief. so its good and figured out.
Yes I'm ready for combat!
Question VV. When you say wild west guns, do you mean flintlocks or revolvers?
Also, warning, Dr. Mavrin is a ranged combatant, and his bombs are splash weapons that do way to much damage so watch out!
Would Dr. Marvin or Cashara benefit from mage armor?
Mavrin has an AC of 17 and Alchemists don't have to worry about spell check fails. His highest stats are Int and Dex anyway. But the less chance of getting hit the better! If you only have one Mage Armor prepared, use it on someone else though!
I posted what Extracts I have prepared right?
I've a wand of mage armor.
I've a wand of mage armor.
Ah, I see. Well unless you want to use a charge, I think I'm good!
Would Dr. Marvin or Cashara benefit from mage armor?
as far as I know, everyone that can use AC and benefit from it.
but, Cashara has an AC of 20 (lol), as you can see.and FYI.
She already has +10 to hit with a gun. (lol)

suffice to say, I think I'm good.
Oh, in that case yeah! I'll take an AC boost please!
I must take a leave of absence.
My younger sister is watching infinity wars and needs the band width.
I would like to join her as well.
and I think I should let you know. I am only under 20 in reality.
just a bit of a fact for you all to note.
I plan to see you tomorrow, or at least when the school season to start back up.
(2-3rd of January).
until then my comrades in arms.
So... Should we continue without you? I mean... I think we kinda would anyway but...
That's fine. We can keep going and when Cashara is back, she's in the fight with Endure Elements cast on her.
Oh, in that case yeah! I'll take an AC boost please!
It provides +4 armor bonus to AC which wouldn't stack with existing armor. Whichever AC bonus is greater, Mage Armor or your current armor, would apply.
Writing up a reply to the Doctor in game.
oh. OH. OH. SHOTS FIRED!!!!!
In all seriousness though, that is impressive! Good job!

Thank you. I love the interplay because neither of them actually has a high charisma. Cal's traits let him use INT for diplo checks which means he logics them into his bidding. That doesn't necessarily mean he's friendly or nice about it.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
So is VV the charismatic one? (19 CHA) ...oh, along with Vetalia, of course!
I loved the line about chemistry being pseudo-science!
I just checked... Dr. Mavrin has 15 CHA. This grey tower of dourness, who is based off Ebenezer Scrooge, mind you, has more charisma than the angelface high-class wizard... Oh... My... God...
I'm having trouble deciding on how Mavrin should react
1: Long rant
2: dumbfounded barely contained anger
3: off the deep end laughter
Place your bets now!!!
How do I level Hunter? Normally familiars don't gain feats because they don't gain HD. However, in Super Crime Fighter II they do gain HD.
If feel like the no feats rules is probably good balance though.
What about lvl 4 Attributes for Familiars? Normally Familiars gain 1 INT at level 5 - should I do the same here?
Normally, it's +1 to INT at 3, 5, 7... (every odd level for a total gain of +9 at Lv.19), so you should have +2 INT for Hunter.
No feats. All is normal except the better starting stats and full HD instead of half the master's HP.

I'll let the Cal-Doc RP play out. If it's walk-and-talk RP, I can have the next encounter (non-combat at the start) interrupt. Let me know in- or out-of-game if you're moving. I'll have an NPC reply to Vetalia for now.
