Hey everyone. My son was born on the 12th and, as you can imagine, it's been pretty hectic. I think I was a bit over-eager and naive to think I could keep this up and care for a newborn. So I'm going to have to step away. I love Tawg, and I hope I can come back at some point. But if not, perhaps he'll have his revenge in some other story.
Thanks for having me thus far, and best of luck to everyone! Get that bastard Markadian.
That's ok Tawg. Good luck with the little goblin and take care.
So now I just want to check that Araton, Sarela and Eowithe are still keen on continuing, and likely recruiting more team mates after the dungeon?
Yep, still good to continue with my mind controlling blood spiller.
I am!
yup good to go!
not to be too meta, but a while back Araton reminded us about 'shriekers' and I had Eowithe make some rolls to Identify: here, but DM you didn't respond. Ok if she doesn't know...but might be important if she does :)

My bad missing that. The roll isn't high enough to know anything though.
I am away from home atm sorry guys. Will update on Wednesday.
By the way, GM, I probably should have asked this before I chose the template, but how comfortable are you with the rules for psychic duels?
I ask because the template gives the Psychic Combatant and Psychic Defender, but they don't have any effect outside of psychic duels.
I was initially thinking I could use the instigate psychic duel spell to try and trap ill-prepared NPCs in a psychic duel to take them out of the main combat and defeat them that way, but if you aren't comfortable using psychic duels, I'd like to work with you to choose different feats in place of those two. Alternatively, if you'd rather not adjust the template, I'd like to switch to a different template that's similar.
I have not seen a psychic duel done before. I don't mind learning how to do it, it sounds cool.
Okay. It's an optional rule set that doesn't come up much, and I'm not going to be doing it for a few levels, since I have other spells to pick up at the moment, but it seemed like a fun idea, particularly since, while casters do have an advantage in a psychic duel, martial characters aren't completely helpless in that situation, either.
EDIT: Can we roll a Nature or Dungeoneering check on behalf of a dropped player, if one of them has the relevant skill?
Had an impromptu week off with the missus due to a favor from a friend watching my kids and providing access to a nice resort condo! Now that my SO and I are sick of each other again, I'm able to get back into the swing of things. Expect a post tomorrow!
Hey there folks! I started up a new job today; much better pay and much better benefits. Only issue is training is on-site which means that I have to wake up earlier and will get home much later.
With that in mind, I will be slow and may need to be botted. I'll try to keep up with roleplay as best as I can. Training should only be 2-3 weeks.
This is a copypasta so if you see this a bunch, just congratulate me more. Thank you :P
Sorry , long day. Next post tomorrow.
Congratulations, KingHotTrash!
Welcome back, Spazmodeus!
Something stirs inside several of the coffins around the room.
Does this include the one Sarela is next to?
No, not that particular one.
Been pretty sick. Updating today! Cheers for your patience.
Did my readied attack go off? The trigger was if they tried to attack "them", by which I meant the group.
Yes that went off. Forgot to mention it.
It's the PC's turn again. Hope everyone is ok. Please post if you can.
Sorry! I wasn't getting notifications for the game.
Hells! I thought I had posted....Sorry about that!

New update guys. Looks like its just Sarela and Araton.
After the lessons are done I am likely to group you up with the other group which means one big group of 6.
Sarela prefers melee to ranged, so she would have gone down with the others, if that's okay. I only used ranged against the draugr since scimitars don't do piercing.
I'm going to post as though I'm in melee. Since I act before him, he counts as being denied his Dexterity to AC, yes?
Yep that's fine. He is flat footed until he moves. Maybe you can flank with Ceres.

I forgot to respond to this but I'm totally okay with it. I'm playing with Javell (Morthus) in a few other games and we're decent friends from it, he roleplays well. I look forward to bringing us survivors together :D
EDIT: I also have an amazing roleplayer that is sitting in the wings if we ever have the space for it. She's exquisite. Just let me know <3
PC's all up. This might be short. I rolled good for the afk players and terrible for the good guy... oh well.
Man... I was all ready to take a few afk players out with his greater cleave feats but rolled so bad. Well you defeated a level 5 Paladin/Fighter gestalt enemy. Ah the action economy of 6v1. You can start planning your next level up. The other group is killing all the cobras at the moment and will be a bit before they catch up.
How have you guys been finding your characters?
Precisely what I imagined when I created her. A healthy mix of vanity and ego coupled with a sadistic streak.
I've really been enjoying Araton and look forward to how he grows in the campaign itself. I'm interested to see how everything goes when we're merged with the other group. Will we be adapting to their story or them to us?
I'm going to peruse their character sheets in a bit and see if an Ancestor Oracle still works well enough or if we have enough support that I could do something else potentially.
Which group are we merging with? The Undying group or the all-flier group?
I think the Undying group? Maybe?
Yes the deathless group. Though I had considered recruiting more for this group if their numbers stay up. 2 groups of 4 or 5 is also fine. You guys' thoughts?
Well, I do have someone that is willing to join. She is super active in my other groups. I don't think it'd be bad to pull everyone together; we've got all the players we need and I'm a good friend of Javell.
I am also all leveled up. Got the APB bonuses applied, leveling up, armor, all that noise.
Ah, the group I started with! How wonderful!
I haven't done the actual leveling up, yet, but I know everything I'm choosing. Gotta make sure I get that astral legend completed first so I can keep advancing template abilities.
EDIT: Looks like the other group still has 5 active, so recruiting another couple people for this group would be good.
Big groups aren't always an issue, though I know that means adapting more stuff for our good DM to do. So I am fine with opening for recruitment for more or not. Since we were the misfits, I'm going to tell my friend to check out the templates that are already up on there and see if there is any they would pick up to try and create less work.
Big groups can also mean that the maps get more crowded, which is something else to keep in mind. Once you exceed 6, I find that sometimes you need to double the map size just to avoid everyone being too heavily crowded together.
Yes I would prefer 6 to be the max so if everyone stays active then I think it's better to recruit more in this group. I'm even considering recreating the third group again in a new recruitment.
Recruits don't have to pick templates from existing characters either. I want people to play what they want to play.

Prior to recruiting or merging, would there be any objection to going and scaring Timeon with Sir Balin's head in order to collect a little blood from him?
Yep you have defeated the dangers of the dungeons and can do what you like. You still have hours before the deadline to bring the amulet to the Cardinal.
Would it be okay for me to invite my friend to the discussion board so they can roll their stats out? We've talked and I believe they're going half-dragon human ranger (skirmisher)/rogue (scout).
Just let me know and I'll invite them in!
If your friend is trying to decide on a color, black, bronze, and silver are the most thematic choices.
I think we were going with Green; the child of the last green dragon before they were slain by Talingarde's heroes.
Okay, sounds good. The Knights of the Alerion would absolutely hunt down evil dragons if they found them.
We definitely aren't inventing a villain (hero) who killed mother and now wears her skin as armor. Not at all.
Of course not. That absolutely wouldn't be cool at all. <.< >.>
Writes down in cool ideas book
Yea it looks like there is at least 4 still in the other group so I will recruit more here. 2 or 3 I will say. Who is your friend Araton?
They are the DM for my Plaguestone game and they are playing Willow, Catalina, and Atia in my Beyond the Witchlight, Age of Ashes, and Skull & Shackles game, respectively. I'll let them know to post in here if you'd like.
Ok, if you say they are reliable and a good poster and player then we'll add them.
They can come up with a reason that Thorn would recruit them to his cause without having been taken to Branderscar.
They'll be a little more available later today so they can roll for their stats. There was also a third-party archetype we were wondering if we could use for the unchained rogue. They're going for a strength-focused build so this archetype synergizes with it far more. Does that sound okay?
