I am indeed interested, but only if there's a vacant, and all back ups are taken into account for it. Let's be fair.

Like I said, I can drop the NPC bard into the background.


@pad300: Though I'd hardly call it a quorum, the general consensus is that the Symbol of Mirroring combo doesn't work. I am going to stick with my original interpretation.

Ir was a very clever idea, and I laud you for trying to make it work. But due to the weirdness of symbol spells, you cannot exclude your enemies using the triggering conditions.

I will rule/houserule that despite the implications of RAW, casters of beneficial symbol spells are not immune to their effects automatically.

No worries. I just have to think of something to do with up to 7295 gp...

Well, I'm certain the rest of the group migt have a sayig on this, since dropping a bard is... very anticlimatic, let's say xD But if you all agree, tell me what do I need to do. Should I read a bit of the gameplay to have an idea of what's going on?

The Stormking is Triumphant. Having allied with the Orcs of Belkzen, he has conquered Janderhoff. It’s people have either been put to the sword of driven out, for the Orcs and Giants had a way to teleport their armies directly into the Sky Citadel. It is clear that nowhere on Golarion is safe, for there are no defenses capable of withstanding such an assault.

The group gathered in Trunau, planning to take the Tyrant’s head to end the threat. But that night a strike force of Giants, along with a Red Dragon, suddenly appeared within town. A desperate and brutal fight saw the town aflame, but still standing. We took one casualty. He was resurrected...but switched genders due to the spell. It was rolled, so he could have come back as anything.

The heroes began to plan their next move, but when seeking information were ambushed by a powerful mesmerist and ally to the Storm Tyrant. One TPK later and we continued on sans some memories and with a potential plot hook for the future.

Right now we are planning an ambush of a duo of giants who work for the Storm Tyrant as assassins, removing potential threats (such as us). The assassins are hunting a dragon, whom we have allied with to take down the hunters.

And there we are!

That's a fantastic summary.


I will keep an eye here as well. Just to join the "line" for when vacancies open. :)


Uriah will be happy to help you defend Trunau, then, and will catch up with you in the fight against these two giants.

What was your application, again? I'm more than happy to add you as a backup, but sadly I really can't run more than 6 players (6 is really pushing it).

Okay, I hate to make you wait any longer to jump in, but we do need to know a) Uriah's relationship to the rest of the party b) what he's been doing in the meantime and c) why he's joining the party now.

I haven't applied before, my friend. I hope no players drop, to be honest - since it disrupts the game flow - but in case it does, just let me know and I'll spin a proper application accordingly.

Are you playing a mythic archlich? I feel like that is what the party might be missing :P


Honestly I'd love to, but I don't think archliches exist in Pathfinder :) All liches are simply evil. Unless I'm missing something.


Yeah, I think we definitely might need one of those.


Ok, here we go:

A) What's Uriah's relationship to the rest of the party.

Uriah came to Trunau about the same time the AP begins, maybe a bit later but not much. He's been around most of the time ever since, so he's probably a known face - specially being a winged guy. I also thought that maybe, since Uriah's family is of Varisian origin and her cousin Valen was here before, Uriah probably knows Vashta closely than the others - she's probably been invited for dinner once or twice to do NaziVarisian things.

B) What has Uriah been doing meanwhile?

Uriah came here with his wife pregnant. Of course, he's helped defend Trunau and was active when the red dragon and the giants assaulted the city. Most of his time, though, has been spent taking care of his wife, then helping her take care of their daughter. I'm not sure how much time has passed since he arrived here, but his daughter should be around that much time old, maybe some months younger.

C) Why is Uriah joining the party?

After Trunau was attacked and the Heroes of Trunau were nearly killed to the last one, Uriah and Aurora felt it was time to get involved to a deeper level. Aurora promised to be in charge of the child, leaving Uriah hands free to use all his resources helping the party. He's probably unaware of what the other PC's plan is and what's going on, and might be looking for them to offer his collaboration.

Nazi things? I'm confused...

I too am confuse.


? Maybe it's a molthune joke?


Ok, I think the exact phrase in English is "Nazi stuff".

I am definitely no closer to understanding.


Take it as seriously as you would take this.

Gotcha. It probably didn't translate well.

Plus there are active Nazi movements where I live, so it carries a different tone.

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Yeah. Sorry, I try very hard not to make jokes about Nazis. They're a real-world threat, still, IMO.

Ok, ok, I don't want to start a war here... It was just a Family Guy reference. It's a comedy show, folks, let's keep it there and move on if we feel uncomfortable.

No worries, I'm not offended or anything. I actually haven't seen but an episode or two of the show, so I didn't get the reference.

The rest was more just remark about the sad times we're in than anything else.

In unrelated news: I would like to include Uriah in the encounter with the dragon hunter.


Perfect; I'm ready and willing. Seems the plan is to persuade the dragon to be the bait for the two giants, right?

Naximarra has agreed more or less to be bait, as well as on the plan. You just need to travel to Wyvern's Maw and make preparations.

Post up soon hopefully.
