A Tiny Part Of The Dimension Wars (Interdimensional Spy Follies

Game Master GM Hansj

Also,

Someone mentioned mythic ranks in a PM to me.

That might be something to consider after the Sigil "module".

But things about mythic ranks:
* I'd like to have everyone get a mythic rank at once so you're all on the same level.
* Mythic requires a "great deed" or several (which some of you already qualify for).
* One aspect of mythic-ness is that the power level is high enough that a character tends to "shine out" across a plane. You notice Ari tends to never stay long in place and this is because equivalent forces would gather against her.
* So being mythic involves being on a "larger stage in the multiverse". Basically you'd have to make large choices about where the dimension war would go, where to place your power and so-forth. You'd watch some planes live and some planes die, you'd be at the controls and not merely operatives. It would be slower and more strategy oriented.

You definitely don't have to go mythic. It may work better to keep things as they are, since being "humble operatives" makes your tasks clearer.
And it wouldn't be for a while regardless, so you can think about it.

So, once you finish with this, you will return to Sigil. I'm working on guidelines for adventuring in that vast metropolis. One thing I want to do is to let charcter try to find and describe a "resource" - anything from passerby to a cafe to a member of one local faction. It would require a roll but you could sketch part of a given situation yourselves (within reason, of course).

I'd like to do this to make things interesting and because otherwise I'd have to continually come up with new stuff given the size of the city and that's a bit exhausting.

Let me know if you think that would work for you.

Sounds good to me!

For mythic ranks... I'd almost put that off until we're nearing where we want to end. Maybe have something like, we gain a mythic rank, we're about to join the leadership ranks of the Organization when there's an attack on the leadership so we spend a while defending and figuring out what's happening, we lead a counterattack, then we 'retire' the campaign by settling in as part of the Organization leadership?

I'm not sure if this applies, but what you said brought up a valid thought.

My initial thought is shortly after the birth of the twins, two high-ranking members of the Temple of Moradin arrive unannounced one day to bless the two new dwarven boys. But the blessings were just an excuse to visit Arlo and his unconventional family. These clerics reveal they used powerful divination magic to discover Arlo's past and part of his present, to coincide with rumors of Syranix. Humbled by their findings, these two moradite ask Arlo and his associates to occasional assist The Temple of Moradin with certain tasks or quests.

Her father is half-god, saver of worlds, a fighter for good causes and crusader for justice, who is now becoming a myth and legend. Her mother is a Techo-Mage of half-god reputation, working at the center of planes, helping those in need of both Orga and mecha. There two sons soon to join them.

And Gift, crafted from the body her mother once used, holding a soul crafted from her parents. Built initially as a helper she has become a daughter to them both.

She has duty to stay for her brothers but deep down she would like to find her way back to her mother's plane, she has seen her father's but not her mother's.

Using extend spell, Rollo's buffs are minimum 4 hours. Is that long enough to cover match?

You would guess so. Of course, this is naturally uncertain - if it's a factor, I'll let you know.

So this is a mini-arc, should end reasonably soon. Then back to Sigil, level up, downtime/vacation and we shall try an arc in Sigil proper.

Imagine Sigil as a bit like Raymond Chandler's LA but multiple magic and technology levels, with no central authorities - each area has a faction or gang controlling it. These often claim connection to the well-known factions but the connection can tenuous. So the adventure will most likely go neighborhood to neighborhood, with everyone encouraged to create a few details of these neighborhoods.

GM Gift is -10 on rolls as you said that's what we would need to do, to give Rollo and advantage, if not then he last 2 rolls where 10 more than added up

Don't worry, I've kept track of the appropriate extras that characters gave to Rollo - I noticed who did or didn't subtract 10, what their bonuses should be, etc.

Okay, good.

Poor Rollo can't seem to roll a double-digit number on his checks. XD

So level up also.

The organization will stuff for folks also, if you are interested.

Another level of Psion telepath, 1 level 7 power, 'Bend reality'
More HP and Skill points, and that is it.

Level Up! +1 level in Mighty Godling

HP 6 + 3 Con + 1 Toughness = 9hp

BAB +1 Will +1

Skills
+1 Intimidate
+1 Perception
+1 Knowledge (planes)
+1 Knowledge (religion)
+1 Sense Motive
+1 Stealth

+1 Craft (weapons)
+1 Handle Animal

Scion Talents
As a mighty godling gains experience, he learns a number of talents that aid him and confound his foes. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th levels, a mighty godling gains one scion talent. A mighty godling cannot select an individual talent more than once unless the talent states otherwise.

Retribution (Su): When foes dare to strike your person, which is a vessel for the divine energies that make you a godling, you can call upon those divine energies to strike down the heathens who dare defile your physical perfection. When you are hit by a melee attack, you may make a melee attack at your full attack bonus against the attacker. Alternatively, you may cast a touch or ranged touch spell with a casting time of 1 standard action or less at the attacker.

Using this ability counts against your attacks of opportunity for the round, and you cannot use it if some condition or circumstance prevents you from making attacks of opportunity. You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your highest ability modifier.

Feat Improved Critical (longsword)

So Arlo over to you and the GM, I wanted to give you a chance to grow the prophecy that drives your pc and also show your faith in all its glory.

you're going to have two very special dwarven sons.
who they are and what they are like is up to you

have fun

This is a big level for Terex, it may take me a bit to level up. :D

@GM Hansj did you see my PM yet?

I have replied

I *think* I'm all leveled up. Were we doing fractional base bonuses? That'd be the only thing I'm missing if we are.

Hi fellow players
Just wanted to say after leveling Gift now looks like this.

As normal as can be

I felt that others have cool stuff covered so I have refocused her as pour Pasion, just as Rollo is a Pour magic user [Give or take]

Yes she has a Drone, that runs our network and basic psy bots.

However, she is starting to hit the higher Psion powers, like Alter reality, which is like a lesser wish. She no longer bothers with weapons,
She can kill with mind Bullets so why bother.

She is still young and has a thing for blue but it will take a LONG time to be anything more than a thing.

Its that kind of

"You two would make a great couple"
With shaking of heads and back steps away from each other.
I am going for the will they want they kind of thing.
So no need to rush and who nows she may meet a nice NPC

Sorry Blue. :)

Outside of that, once she hits 15th level there will be a very big change for her. Wink wink say no more.

I hope you like how I am playing her,

GM Panic

That's a bit of a relief, honestly. I'm no good at relationships IRL, much less trying to play how a being half-composed of air would go about courting a robot. lol This whole time I've been uncertain whether I should be taking more of a hand in steering where this is headed, or if that would be a bad idea, so I've mostly just reacted to Gift's prompting. Mostly. Anyway, I'm sure Blue will enjoy the view without needing too much invested in commitment. Besides, it's easier to avoid Arlo's ire when you aren't actively trying to get into his daughter's pants.

Oh right, I didn't say what happened with Terex's level-up!

+1 level of Hedgewitch!

This means Terexaltherin is know a Spherecaster! To reflect the fact that this is supposed to be an expansion of his already-extant mental powers, our GM let me trade his feats that gave him his psionic spells for copies of Extra Magic Talent, so he actually has a decent list of sphere abilities for starting out:

Divination Sphere

Mind Sphere
-Expanded Charm
-Ranged Mind
-Paralyze
-Dispersion

Telekinesis Sphere

Beyond that, he chose the Fount of Inspiration and Charlatanism paths for his hedgewitch paths, giving him a weaker form of investigator Inspiration and some ability to continue his rogue abilities. It also gave him versatile performance, and I was allowed to trade out his Diplomacy ranks for Peform ranks to take advantage of it. I renamed Perform (Oratory) to Perform (Thoughtsong), hearkening back to what he did with the Oomsata.

For his feat he took Advanced Magic Training to count his non-caster levels as half-caster levels, so he has a caster level of 6 and a decent number of spell points.

Looks good Terexa, perfect for the little Dragon, and Telekinesis will help him so much. And to have a Spherecaster as well in the group, that gives us even more Kn cover.

Folks, one heads up.

Because this is Sigil and magic is common, it quite common for there to be guards against invisibility, against teleportation and against scrying in areas that powerful people want to keep secure.

I will try to make it evident but it would be good for everyone to be aware that this is a possibility. Assume that something like a large bank or a high noble council house definitely has such protections and less important will be protected somewhat less (some teleportation protections checks allow a caster check to overcome).

I was just thinking Terexaltherin would add "going to somewhere that will help you get your life in order" into his list of 'punishments'.

No worries, more options and opinions will appear

Sorry Blue, but I just felt this is who Gift is. She kind of told me if that does not sound Crazy.

No need to apologize. Characters take you the places they take you. I hadn't exactly intended this arc for Blue when I built him, either.

I will try to maintain an overview of all the clues you get in the campaign summary, though no guarantee this won't get out-of-date.

How far away from us is the cat?

distances pease i need them for gifts actions

I love when what a character does isn't necessarily the smartest choice in a situation. :D

My posting may be sparse for he next week or so. One of my jobs is ramping up for the end of the season.

Gifts look while on this mission

I have been running an in-person Wednesdays. I may make posts shorter Wednesdays for that reason.

Current situation description updated. Sorry for letting it get out of date.

It's fine.

My apartment complex’s internet is on the fritz, so my posting will be spotty until…whenever it gets fixed. I’ll try to do what I can from mobile.

Some new Terexaltherin art!

Some new Terexaltherin art!

Very impressive!

Ok, I'm back up and running. Trying to get caught up now.

Wow that looks so call

I'm traveling so I'm going to wait 'till tonight (Sunday night) to make a more detailed post.

No replies for a bit. As usual, let me know if anything is hard to understand. I know Rollo has some logistical problems posting so maybe we shouldn't count on them immediately posting.

Sorry, I've just spent six hours over the last couple of days assembling an Ikea table. XD

Arlo is 'a bit out of his depth'. The half-chaos realm is fu<king with his sensibilities, i.e. talking during a mission of stealth. Just because Arlo doesn't always follow what's going on, doesn't mean he's 'checked out' of the campaign. The dwarf will contribute when he sees his opportunity.

I'd say even the NPCs are a bit freaked out by the plane.

TheWaskally has told me Arlo is retiring and he will start a new character with the group. Blue will also be retiring and I will be recruiting a new player - I think a cleric would be good for the group. Not simply mere healer but a student of the theological aspects of the multiverse. But I'm open to other suggestions.

Yep. I just haven't ad the time to give the game it's due, so I'm stepping back. Much as I said in the thread, it's nothing against any of y'all. I've enjoyed my time in the game. But I've posted less than once a week in the last two months, and y'all should have better than that. Have fun, and I hope I see y'all again in some other game.

I just read the Game Play posts. I figured a new character for Arlo and completely understand Blue.
I actually didn't get any Discussion posts alerts, so just read those now.
The flow of this game is that us players need to be daily readers, if not posters. Sometimes life doesn't allow for that though and that is ok.
If all my games move like this one (probably 1/2 though) then I would be drowning...lol.

Having had my accident last February, I had the time but now that I am walking and looking for employment, I may slow down a bit.

Probably not but just wanted to let the Table know...lol.

Good luck Blue! Definitely see you in another game!

@Arlo any ideas for our newest Agent?

@Gift what are your plans?

@GM Hansj. Whatever you think but would definitely stress our pacing...lol.
