GM Nazard’s Saga of Lyon’s Brook; Volume 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Nazard

Please let us know where we are combat wise if we are in round 2. Excited to get into this game

Whose turn now?

Going up to the cabin Thr Fri Sat Sun Mon see you next Tues, posting goin to be very light

Where are we here?

IIRC, I was working on clearing the way down from the top of the little tower and we were working on getting ready to head back to town. I’m not really sure who/wait we’re waiting? Maybe a GM post saying the way is clear to head back, or an official ‘we head back to town’ post?

Yea, I'm not sure what's up?

On the way back to town, you will mysteriously awaken with an increased power capacity. Welcome to level 2.

Hooray!

HP Roll: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Average roll. I'll take it.

I don't remember how we're doing hit points... was it choose at each level whether to roll or take average? Other than that, I'll try to get my profile updated today but here's most of the changes:

+1 BAB
+1 fort and ref
+1 all current skills

gain flesh of wood (+1 natural armor) and 1 utility infusion (tbd)

Roll or choose average is fine

Well… Maria was slightly below average, so I’ll see if I can balance that with an above average roll…
1d8 ⇒ 5
Lol- exactly balanced (she was .5 below and I was .5 above)

Also, I discovered the elemental whispers utility wildtalent which makes it so that I can actually (sort of) hear the plants talking back to me, so I’m definitely taking that. It also lets me make a familiar out of plant matter (that only lasts while I concentrate on it), so now I have to go look through the familiar list.

Increasing my HP as listed from the roll

+1 BAB (Yea)
+1 to Will Save
Cast another 1st Lvl Spell and another Cantrip
I'm adding Sleep and Ear-Piercing Scream to the Spell Book

I will take average to level two

+1 BAB, Cha to saves, lay on hands 1d6 healing yipee

Nice.

I'll not tempt fates and take average HP

+1 Bab
+1 Ref
+1 to current skills
Evasion
Rogue Talent - Bleeding atk

After a fair bit of hemming and hawing, I’m going to pick a thrush for my pseudo-familiar. That way, when I’m concentrating on manifesting it, it can actually talk to not only me but everyone else too. I’ll update my profile next time I have a chunk of free time at the computer.

Neat.

Is Robert still with us?

I fear he may not be, though given my slow pace, it’s certainly understandable.

Hmm, I guess it might be that we may have to find a someone to fill their role.

It’s possible that he’s around but stopped getting updates during the lull… has anyone tried PMing him?

We could pick up someone else and drop off Robert

He is still active in the boards, so I sent him a PM.

However, when I looked to see my inbox, there was already a message from him bowing out, so we’ll need a new golden boy.

I would prefer not to advertise in general. I was running a second table of this game and ended it when I purged down to this one. If any of you have a player you know we could invite directly, that would be best.

Robert will be sticking close to the farm, tending to his traumatized family and avoiding any further adventures.

I’ll be on vacation from this coming Sunday through the following Saturday. I should have reliable internet at the hotel and plan to post from my phone everyday (if there’s something to post to/about), but if I fall behind at all please feel free to bot me.

Have fun

Never thought I would have a meaningful spiritual and religious discussion examining the core of my players beliefs for the whole first part of a game lol

Any thoughts on a replacement player someone would like to invite?

Idk, I'd have just put out a light recruitment or something. I'll ask in another game I'm in.

All the people I would think to invite are either maxed out on games right now or would be unhappy with the pace we have going. Sorry.

I don't want to jump to conclusions but its been 2 full weeks since Gunnar's last post... we may have lost him too? If he is gone, we'll probably have to decide whether we want to run a recruitment to replace him and Robert or if we want to pull the plug. I don't have time to run a recruitment, but I'd be willing to read applications and weigh in on candidates, if its helpful.

Also, this might sound kind of weird (or, you know, be kind of weird) but I've been curious for a little while now if I could write two separate characters well enough for people to forget that they have the same player. If everyone's open to it (and only if everyone is open to it), I'd be interested in potentially replacing one of them with a second character and seeing if I could pull it off. I certainly wouldn't be offended if people aren't interested in that though.

Yea, honestly lets just put out a new recruitment. I'd be fine if you ran a second as well, though I do hope Gunnar comes back.

You didn't lose me I closed my father's estate and then had labor day weekend to get ready for bow hunting season at the end of sept. I am here and back and do apologize for the delay but when I could check I wasn't seeing much posting

All good Gunnar, stuff like that would make someone rather busy. Hope everything was alright, and good luck this season.

I love this character and I enjoy the other players and the game

Are we recruiting?

It’s up to you all? I haven’t built anything for a potential second character because I’d only heard from one person (and it sounded like maybe recruiting someone else might be their preference). I’m interested in potentially trying to run a second character to fill the ‘golden child’ role if (and only if) everyone is on board, or I have zero objections to someone running a recruitment to fill it instead if that’s anyone’s preference (though I don’t have time to actually run the recruitment myself).

Sure, go ahead. It'd be good to have one running up if for now you all want to just rp in thread.

I would like to see two more players for recruitment if we want to hang and RP in town while we wait sounds fantastic

WE got that recruitment thread up?

I can just reactivate the old recruitment thread: that way all the campaign info is there.

We just need a new Pride of Lyon’s Brook, right?

Yep, that's looks to be it

We’ve had two applications so far and that seems to be it. Would folks like me to pick one or present them for voting. There’s no way to do that through the Paizo site where they can’t read us rip them apart (or rather, politely discuss pros and cons to each choice).

Go ahead and pick the one you find best

I second Gunnar's vote- go ahead and pick someone (we trusted you to pick the original party, why stop now)

I share such sentiment. You've been a good gm, I trust you judgment.

Greetings all! GM Nazard has invited Ben to join you all. I am working up the alias and will dot into the gameplay thread so that I can find an appropriate time to join back from the Qadiran front.

HP Roll: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Lol- hey, Poly, fancy meeting you here

I am everywhere!

Two questions: should I come in with Level 2 WBL (1000 gp) or something else? And should I roll for my animal companion's HP as well, or take the average? (Max at first or no?)

I'm also considering (because it's appropriate for his background) purchasing a combat-trained heavy horse. Obviously it wouldn't grow with us, but it's sure useful at the currnt level. Would I roll for the horse's hp, or just take the average?

Assuming I roll for the wolf, let's roll some bones.

Wolf HP Rolls: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 6) = 16

Once I settle these, my character sheet should be just about done.
