GM Silbeg's Age of Ashes AP (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

I am going to work on the google spreadsheet now, cause it didn't really keep track of a lot of our wealth and now it needs some fixing.

Thank you.

I apologize for my sporadic posting this week.

I've had a particular difficult month... on Sept 8 I was rear-ended and my car was totaled. I am doing ok, with only minor whiplash symptoms.

Then, last Tuesday, Sept 21, after a heavy rain, the sump pump in our house failed, and our basement flooded. We got it under control pretty early, with only a couple square yards of drywall being lost, as well as the carpet. Nonetheless, it is going to be a significant cost, and a major bother.

I'll keep doing my best, but just wanted you all to know.

Ouch, sorry to hear about all that. No worries about slow going on my end.

Oh gosh, what a month!

Sorry to hear all of that! No worries, we will be here.

By all means, take your time and get everything sorted out. Davian is right, we will be here when you are ready.

I am going to be on hold until Sunday at least when SkålCon is over.

Then, posting at a new furious rate!

BTW - I am assuming you all are adding what you need to the treasure sheet. If not, let me know, and I will try and back fill what was missed.

Hey everyone.
I am going through high stress work loads at the office, and have been for most of December. It probably will continue until New Years is over. If needed, please bot me as much as needed.

If you can level up Ingraham, that'd be helpful.

And find time to relax!

All, also remember we're using the Free Archetype option, so at level 4 you get another archetype feat!

I’ll try to find some free time tonight to do so.

FYI - I have put together some information about Breachill in the attached slides. Most of this is actually already in the players guide, but I'll be adding in images as I locate them.

Plus, I'll also keep track of who you all have impressed, and will likely open it up for notes/comments once I have it ready.

I'll also add in more slides for other folks... like the town council, the Brumblebrashers, and the worg puppies you rescued! Not to mention Pib and Zarf, the MITEY DRAGONS!

Ingraham is up to date, and fixed as I missed getting him a 2nd level druid feat due to some prior confusion. Botting instructions are also updated.

I think you have a typo, Ingraham. Your tagline says 'Druid 5'

Upped numbers, still need to choose class/archetype feat.

Scares all of the literate monsters!

Going to wait to push to Voz's until everyone is leveled up. I think we're waiting for Aragelda and Gideon to finish up?

Sorry, am good to go!

Sorry, I will get her leveled today!

Aragelda is leveled! Do we have money to spend?

Fixed. Ingraham is now level 4 in tagline.

You should check your loot sheet…

I will look tomorrow to see if it has been kept up, but I have not been adding what you find.

Ok, I don’t know if it is the holidays, or something I said.

You are welcome to try and break into the shop… there isn’t a lot of traffic around where you are, but your might want to avoid breaking glass or forcing your way through a door.

No plans from Gideon to break in at the moment, just wanted to nose around and see what could be done without having to break in etc.

I am going to take some time to go through what you've found, and make sure it is on the spreadsheet.

Might even start from scratch, with a simpler one.

That will probably happen over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Kyle has let me know that work has been kicking his butt, and won't have time to play for a while. At this time, we can assume that Ingraham just had to stay back in town... we'll say he's training a couple of worg puppies!

If his schedule opens up again, we'll bring him back in.

Sounds good, thanks Silbeg!

I am trying to find time (and energy) to rebuild the loot spreadsheet.

Probably not happening today, though.

I do want you all to have the chance to do some shopping if you'd like, but we're missing all of the level 2 & 3 items on the loot sheet, and I am not sure how much that would end up being.

Ok, I have updated the loot spreadsheet, and it is up to date.

You should all take a look, and decide what you want to keep and sell.

We'll move to IF slack for now, if that make sense.

I have created a new loot sheet, copied from the one we're using in Abomination Vaults. Pretty sure Doug Hahn created the original.

This is simpler, and gives an at a glance balance of who has what.

Currently, Aragelda is the beneficiary of the most treasure, almost by double!

I think I got everything off of the old sheet.

So, unless I am reading things incorrectly...

It should take a Step to get to the ladder (1 action), then 1 action to Climb down (with Edjarha's 40' movement), then a Step to move to the next ladder.

But, since these are secure ladders, I think it wouldn't be hard to Step to the ladder, Climb down, and drop yourself off next to the next ladder (5' away).

I say this as I have done just that in real life, and I don't have Edjarha's skills.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Makes sense to me.

If anyone would like Longstrider (+10 movement) for 1 hour please let me know. I will cast that as well.

Longstrider is personal, right? There's no target line and the spell refers to 'Your' speed.

I believe that it is.

Ah, indeed it seems to be that way. I didn't see anything personal in the sourcing portion but it does seem that way in the description as it constantly says you and your. So Davian will also cast Longstrider on himself then.

I am headed out on vacation for the weekend and will return Tuesday. I should have WI-FI in the cabin but will be pretty sparse. I should still be able to post each day but if need to speed up then by all means BOT me.

Thanks for the warning!

So uh….
What should I play? Rogue? Bard? Both?

Pacifist fighter that meditates and asks for forgiveness every time he commits violence?

Honestly, I feel like we're a little light on offense, so some sort of heavy hitter would be good. A champion for out of combat spam healing and flank-and-tank purposes wouldn't be terrible either.

Not trying to push too hard, but rogues definitely become heavy hitters.

At level 6, you'll be able to flank when any ally is adjacent (Gang Up feat), and it gets really good at 8th with Opportunistic Backstab.

This is based totally on my other AoA game, where their rogue is definitely the heavy hitter. (Now, at 12th level, he's hitting for 6-8d6, and he gets up to 2 reactions for Opportunistic Backstab).

Thank you all for your patience.
I've been pretty busy of the last week due to SkålCOnline... but that's over, so back to the game!
