@Aurealia: I believe we're still waiting for your action.
@Jaya: Now that Galatea has stepped out of the way, what spell did you intend to cast?
Again I direct y’all to my earlier discussion post about Discord. Everyone has joined up except Stalwart and CDL.
>ahem<
If any of you wanted to heal up via potions and such, you would have had the time.
Awww, why would we need to? I'm sure the worst is behind us at this point.
Right...?
Been a hectic stretch for me lately. Had some life things crop up that have kept me occupied, and picked up a second job to try and help out with some financial strains I’ve been having. If I’m a bit more silent than usual, please don’t take it as a lack of interest.
I will continue posting as I can, but anything involving heavy mechanics posts may be slower than usual from me. If it comes down to it, this is my official authorization for the DM to take an action on my behalf to keep things moving rather than risk slowing the game because of me.
Irl of course comes first. Hope things calm down a bit on the homefront soon though!
Congratulations on completing the Prologue. As I've indicated elsewhere, the PCs have Leveled Up and will start Chapter 1 at Level 3.
Cai’nan:
+7 HP (5 HP, 1 Con, 1 Favored)
+1 BAB
+1 Reflex
+1 Second Level Spell Base Slot
Trackless Step
Feat: Augment Summoning
Skills:
Perception +1
Knowledge (Nature) +1
Survival +2
*Handle Animal* +1
*Knowledge (Geography)* +1
__________
Krodha:
+2 Natural Armor
+1 Str/Dex
+1 Trick (Perform)
Evasion
BTW, anyone who wants to put a background rank in Perform is welcome to join the band!
Lol Cai’nan is not artistically inclined.
Well, Krodha's welcome anytime!
@Stal: Could I get a description of Auronee's physical appearance? For the life of me, I can't find anything describing what she looks like in terms of physical features. I seem to remember her being a gorgeous blonde, but that's about it.
That's kind of as far as I've ever gotten with her description. I used words like effervescent, and effortless beauty, making even the dirt and grime of a dungeon crawl look good (like she's got a Hollywood makeup team with her to make sure she always looks good and she matches the lighting.
But beyond that, her body is lithe and athletic, with perfect proportions. At her height of her power, she also possessed an easy confidence and magnetic charm that bordered on the supernatural.
Croq is levelled up now.
If it wasn't clear from her concert, her new Rage Power is Lesser Spirit Totem, which means that anyone who chooses to partake of her raging song gets a little angry spirit that swirls around them, attacking an adjacent foe of their choice each round.
Otherwise,
Feat: extra performance
Spell known: feather fall...unless someone wants to suggest something else? I like the flavor idea of things like Ear-Piercing Scream...but her DCs will never be very exciting.
...and few skill ranks.
So I see this little side venture with Jaya wrapping up soon. I know that Croq and Cai'nan appear all leveled up. What about everyone else?
I should double check my math and pick my two spells, but aside from that Jaya's good to go :-)
Oh, and since Nightmare's about a DC 25 to identify just by looking at someone experiencing it, I'm assuming that at some point Jaya took 20 in her mom's library to learn about the spell and how it works.
As stated in Discord, I leveled already as well.
Looks like we're all ready to go then. I'll move the story forward some time soon.
Feel free to continue your Day 2 Night RPing and go into detail about your Day 3 Morning.
I will update tomorrow, most likely in the evening. I'm quite busy today and tomorrow morning/afternoon.
Can't post now but I'll start a Raging Song. Feel free to count it in your posts.
Effects of Raging Song
Everyone who takes the raging song gets:
+2 morale bonus to STR & CON,
+1 morale bonus to Will,
-1 to AC,
Allies other than the skald cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.
Also, you're orbited by a spirit fragment of Roderick's family that attacks the adjacent foe of your choice (+4 to hit, 1d4+2 negative energy damage). You decided which foe it attacks. The spirits are an effect, not creatures so they don't flank and can't be buffed.
Okay, well, I'm copying and pasting what I'm writing in Gameplay and getting a very different response here. Weird. :-/
The nameplates for the bosses should be visible now. If not, please let me know.
@Jaya: I believe that Grease was also your last spell.
Hey gang it's SHOPPING TIME!!!
Who wants what from the loot? Before we finalize anything:
1) lets see how wants what. If multiple folks want something, speak up and we'll figure it out....Like, maybe have a drumming contest to see who gets it! ;-)
2) what do we want to keep as group gear?
3) as a reminder, we're allowing folks to "buy" loot at 1/2 price, and then we'll see the rest and divvy up cash.
...PLEASE EXPRESS INTEREST IN WHAT YOU WANT, EVEN IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS TOO...
Croq is interested in: the Ioun Stone, scale mail +1, the Cloak +1
Aurelia has expressed interest in: the Ring +1, Eyes of the Eagle, and the Amulet of Nat Armor +1
Cai'nan is all about the Benjamins. (No loot for him.)
Kallie has expressed interest in the Rod. will just take cash too.
Jaya...presumably would like that Rod?
...BTW, Jaya, if you're around, most of us are chatting on Discord at the moment.
1) Correct.
2) Don't care
(No, the rod should go to Jaya. I just commented that it'd be nice to be used with touch of idiocy. I'll just take cash, and see if I can afford a headband of intellect.
For (2) Group Gear, I'm happy to just keep any consumables we find for whoever to use
At minimum, I suggest we keep:
- All healing potions and scrolls (from now til forever)
- Scroll of Daylight
- Scroll of Dispel Magic
- Scroll of Fireball
- Scroll of Glitterdust
- Scroll of Lightning Bolt
- Scroll of Shatter
- Potion of Air Bubble
- Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds
- Potion of Fly
EDIT:
Oh! And of course I think the Bag o Holding should be group gear too.
Unless Jaya wants to buy the ring or amulet, Croq agreed to let me take them.
What say you, Jaya?
I want the rod... a lot :-D
I'll happily pass on the ring and amulet. I'll want them later on in my career, but broadly speaking, just want to not get stabbed in the first place :-x
I'd also be a fan of keeping the antitoxins and the smokesticks, since they're both cheap and occasional lifesavers.
@Jaya: Since I really like the final share per person (7,995.00 gp each) and many of the others have purchased gear based on that amount, I'll have Galatea buy those items.
Oh for Jaya to be in that room. And to know Cai'nan is a Blakros-Constantin :-p
Hey gang, I wanted to give you a heads up about some upcoming travel of mine:
I'll be taking my wife and daughter to Costa Rica for her 50th birthday! We travel Nov 9-23 (and I'm stretched a bit thin prepping between now & then).
I don't know what my internet will be like while I'm out of the country, but please forgive if my posts are less frequent (or terser)...and please feel free to bot if needed.
Have fun, that should be a good trip!

"Kallie?" Galatea says gently. "Is everything okay? I, uh, suddenly had a gut feeling and wanted to see if..."
"gut feeling" = "was invisibly listening at your door" right?
;-p
FYI to folks, Croq has Spell Kenning now. As a Fated Champion, she sucks at damage dealing spells, but can cast Divination spells at 1 level lower than usual, meaning she can cast any 3rd lvl Div spell on the Wiz, Clr, or Brd lists, using a L2 slot (1/day).
Good to know in general...and maybe helpful with the Wormhole.
Some options I've noted:
(1) Augury
(2) Akashic Communion (1 min/lvl, know chk w +10 bonus / 3 lvls)
(2) Blood Biography
(2) Harrowing (Bard 3; 1 day/lvl; 9 cards; bonus and penalties)
(2) Scrying (Divination, Bard 3)
(2) Clairvoyance/Clairaudience (Divination 3)
(2) Threefold Sight (Bard 3; 3 min; 3xd20 and take middle)
Jaya & "Wendy"'s conversation is reminding me of one of my favorite SF novels, The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe, which plays with cloning, colonialism, and a variety of other topics.
. . .
I wonder if any of the PCs would know that Wendy / Windy were nicknames that Sabrina used for Auronee?
I can't imagine that Jaya would :-/
(here and around btw - Jaya's just enjoying her fish for now)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
It WAS quite good fish.
And it goes well with sea shanties!
Oh, did Cai'nan head straight home after his expedition in the Mwangi Expanse? I thought that was when he was thought to be dead - am I conflating things?
After he escaped the Mwangi Expanse and was found, he did in fact make his way home for a time. There was a brief, BRIEF moment of happiness from all parties involved, but eventually Argor and Cai’nan again just ceased seeing eye to eye and Cai’nan left once again.
Not totally done for Jaya, but I think I found a fun enough little item for her :-)
I'll go with a Ring of Energy Shroud (fire), and I'll get the rest of her shopping list up soon too.
Is there someone with the Council who can send a Sending to Ryli? That seems like our next step.
Then--unless that leads to new options--I vote we head to meet our guide, and then go to Hollow Mountain.
Honestly, we don't even particularly need to be here for the Sending. Kallie might want to talk to her mom, but otherwise we don't possess any specific information that she'd need. And after all, if it's a reasonable means of contact, then they can reach out to us en route too :-)
