Finals season for me is the issue; I'm good past the 23rd, one way or another.
That works for me. today turned into a 10+ hour shift so I am going to bed
I will be posting a few scenes throughout the week.
Qizzlvutz, a friendly reminder this is all new to you as well -- your isolated life means you have been out of the Chamber of the Heap (to the Nurseries, no farther) a handful of times, and that's all.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
is there any issues with saying Qizz took some times to grab a few things off of Kallik's body before leaving?
--->That's no problem at all. I know I "rushed" you guys out of the scene to keep things going. Just make sure it counts against your WBL. (the one exception is the axe, since it is basically inert right now, so don't have it count as wealth) For your next post, just add a quick note of what you grabbed on your way out.
Everyone else, I know I'm not the most "treasure heavy" DM in the world, mostly because we don't have a ton of combats either. If you'd like to pick out 1 magic item that's around 1000-2000 gp, you can say you "found" it among your gear as you awakened from death, please do so!
Can I get a ring of air bubble to go with my new earth glide? Technically it's a custom item, but by pricing it should be about 2000 gp.
I like that. It is done!
Ok, we're back open for business - see you in Gameplay!
Hi All - Let me know when your characters are ready for me to 'officially' look at. (no rush)
Gabe, where are your skills on your sheet?
Should be on the myth weavers sheet if you scroll down past the armor and weapons
Thanks - I always forget about the link to the sheet.
Is everyone still busy with holidays? I am pretty much ready to start posting again.
I should be fine
I'm going to have to bow out. Having a hard time keeping up.
Thanks for the update Sequoya - sorry to see you go, but I also appreciate the honesty.
Looking forward to everyone's posts in a new year!
I'm good with posting whenever.
However, I honestly have no idea how to interact with what we're seeing right now. The world is a tiny alien box at the moment, and the only tools I have at my disposal (different flavors of destruction) have already been discounted. They've been at this for hundreds of years, I'm not sure what extra I bring to the table beyond one expendable body and three expendable souls.
I think that once we have a few more people talking / posting we'll get some ideas.
I will admit I also feel a little bit lost; we just had a massive status quo shift and Abnaki isn't sure how to respond.
No, that's completely fair. I did want it to feel different, because we took time off, you died for a bit, then came back in a weird, isolated place.
That's why I asked - it's on me the narrator to give you something to hang your hat on, so let's see what we can pull together over the next few days - I'm looking forward to seeing us weaving a story again.
Would Qizz have one minuet?
You could have a moment, sure :) I'll check back in the morning.
Sorry posted under the wrong account. Done so well with not doing that. Oh did Kallik come out? I had originally interrupted that attempt by fleeing
For a moment, yes!
Qizzlvutz, (although I still think of you as "Kallik"), I admire your dedication to speaking like a weird mushroom person - thank you for being a wonderful poster :)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Thank you. The number of times I have to double check is something is a verb is shameful from a former English major. But I enjoy a challenge. And the spiritualist might be my favorite class and Kallik is my second favorite character I have ever played. Defiantly the one I have played the longest. The goblin Barbarian that turned the game into a musical is number one, largely due to the musical elements.
Qizzlvtz and Kallik have most of their profiles updated. I still need to finish shopping, sorry for the delay. Migraine has been limiting my laptop time. your Patience is appreciated :)
That was truly worthy of a nat 20 Abnaki -- that was basically a perfect recap of the campaign as well as a suitable epic to tell these mycos :)
I'm still grappling with what the result will be --- a 40 is the sort of thing that can change the attitude of an entire clan of people. Are you rallying them to come with you and see what this world of "air" is all about? To do some good in the world?
I don't want the Mycos to get hurt by the dark-infused roots, but if some of them truly want to learn how to "be El" then Abnaki would like to bring them up and out, to help them to get situated. Ideally, they'd be inspired to help us, and to be hopeful that their lot in life can be better. After all, it's the desperate and the lost who fell to Moon easiest.
Perfect, thanks for the reply!
Here's a fun weekend prompt for everyone -- What is your character most afraid of these days? Could rational or irrational fear.
Abnaki the roll was impressive, and the speech superseded a 40. Some fine bardic oratory work.
Kallik has a impressive insecurities but her biggest fear has been letting down Egret. Getting sucked back into the anger like when she was poisoned. On the more irrational side it's not being enough or failing in her blessed duties. Dying and heaving her primary emotion being anger have made these a little more real.
For Qizzlvutz I don't know yet. Still getting a feel for the character.
Samen & Co. have balanced and competing fears. On one hand, fear of a loss of individuality and being absorbed into the collective. On the other hand, fear that they will not be able to be powerful enough to make full use of their synergy.
Abnaki is worried that instead of inspiring hope in people, he will force it on them instead, since he is so good at reading people, and tailoring his words and magics to those insights. He's also worried that in being able to see minds so clearly that he will stop being El entirely.
Osna's afraid of gettin' trapped in Dream forever again. Thank the pissin' gods everythin's normal.
Is everyone busy? This has been a slow week. I'm trying to clarify the weirdness to help us move forward - let me know if there's anything else I can do to help keep us moving.
Qizz and Kallik would be all for the fighting. But if the majority vote is to not they will both follow along.
Sorry for the delay. A module I am running is dying a slow death and that had me a bit down. Plus the normal amount of family drama I seem to be plagued with.
Thanks for the update - I appreciate it. I like to check in during a slow week, because sometimes the problem in PbP is that the DM isn't being clear enough :) and I like the feedback.
Busy couple of days.
I will update with something fun tonight or tomorrow morning.
So I'm assuming I need to regenerate my character completely. Can you please remind me what parameters I should use?
Let's see here...
9th level
20 point buy
Alignment: no evil
2 traits, no flaws
HP: Max at 1st level, average (round up) after that
Starting wealth: 30,000 gp, which should cover your essentials
Skills: Every character gets one extra skill point per level in a Craft, Profession, or Perform skill of their choice. I want you to have some kind of flavorful/cool background skill, but I don't want it to come at the cost of a better skill. (this is basically linguistics for you, along with all your other extra languages, which you should keep)
RACE: You are a human.
CLASS: For reasons your character wouldn't know yet, you are now directly using the power of your mind. I'd like you to be a Psychic to reflect this, but I'm willing to hear out if you have other ideas or you don't want to learn a new class.
So to recap:
1) You are all back from the dead, but the Happy Swords are no more.
2) You brought some myconians back with you, and freed the whole from darkness/branches. You also brought this Quiet Elder's roots back to life (they are one and the same)
3) We now have, roughly: a Phantom/host, a Wordsmith, a Psychic (though I honestly prefer the name Psion. We can hammer out the details), and a Slayer.
4) We are back on more familiar ground now, and we can start affecting the world again. I'm looking forward to it!
I looked over the Psychic, and it seems like an int based sorcerer with a focus on mind spells. I should be able to put something decent together, but I'm not going to be a striker anymore. I can continue being the party brain, but Abnaki is a way better face that I could hope to match. Same with buffing, really, so debuffing/battlefield control is probably the way to go. I guess I need to worry about pumping spell save DCs again :P.
I haven't delved too deeply into it yet, but it looks like the rebirth discipline (both for myself and the human race) seems very appropriate. https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/occult-adventures/occult- classes/psychic/psychic-disciplines/psychic-disciplines-paizo-inc/rebirth/
It's going to take me a day or two to put something together, but I'm working on it.
Awesome! I'm hoping between our (Anger) Spiritualist and our Slayer, that we have enough striking power. Sequoya would have been a good fifth ember to have (good AC, good striking, animal companion for more HP, etc).
We shall see what our new party composition brings - should be interesting!
Yeah the big if with psychic magics is emotion based spells screw them up but otherwise their good
It will be very interesting to see how phantoms, psychics, slayers, and word mages all get along together in combat.
I have seen all of them in different combos except the word mage. That one I am fascinated by.
Honesty, works best with sorcerers! 3/4 casters don't really get a lot of fun toys to play with until really high level. Considering how little people actually need massive inspire courage buff at this level, I'd retrain to being a full caster but... I really like some of my other bard features, like having skill points.
I love that Qizzlvutz is a sketcher / artist! Fits very well with the 'community murals' I imagined that many of the tunnels in the myco kingdom were covered with. Shifting forms and shifting art along their walls.
Samen - I'm not clear on what "past life memories" is under your skill bonuses -- I don't see it elsewhere explained on the sheet. Is this a psychic thing? I'd like to see the breakdown of bonuses, and possibly pare things down if you are getting a ton of skills from psychic sources. (that I might not want to have stack)

It's the 1st lvl Rebirth discipline perk. I add lvl/2 to all knowledge checks.
