Legacy of Fire: Module 2: House of the Beast (Inactive)

Game Master BloodWolven

Just logged in, the site wouldn't let me! Sorry for my silence.

Also in other news, just got out of surgery on my ankle. No walking for the next 6 weeks. I suppose I'm lucky that I at least still have both hands. :P

Oich. Get better.

Seconded. hope the surgery went well.

We hope you have a speedy recovery! Yes thank goodness it was not your hand or hands!

Now we just need Victrix to catch up so we can keep moving!

Awesome let's keep it going! What do you do next?

Hello? Anyone out there?

Waiting for the boys to split the potions.

And I, as a general rule, don’t post much on the weekends.

Yeah I understand that but I had posts from most of you on Thursday...

Suggestion - maybe recruit a few more people? There's 3 of us plus NPCs at the moment.

With the slaves freed, it gives a good reason to find a new person. Just have to run into them on the way out.

Watching the thread, just waiting for the recruitment to finish up before moving on.

In case some of the slaves end up being oir new PCs.

Yup same here, exactly!

Hello everybody!

Thanks for the invite. This looks to be a lot of fun. And since I'm going to be playing a bit of a messed-up character, please let me know OOC if it gets too much. I want to keep all the players having fun and I'll adjust to make sure we keep things working well.

Welcome!

Hey folks. I never quite finished this one profile for the original recruitment, but Wolf was kind enough to remember and PM me when recruiting opened back up. So here I am, Ifrit Inquisitor of Sarenrae at your service.

Liam do you have an idea for bringing you into the campaign, I can do a lot of different things!

I have not even glanced at gameplay yet except to dot in. I can read up and figure something out if you want me to.

Well I am hoping just to spitball a few ideas. Sassara is coming in as a slave, another applicant will be doing roughly the same thing.

Go team Planetouched!

Welcome newbies! *squeee*

Btw if anyone wants to fall out of my bag of holding ( after a very productive substance induced afternoon in downtown Kelmarane ), I'm down.

That sounds hilarious actually. I’m down.

Just need to figure out the minor "breathing" part. We've been traveling for like what, 2 days now?

Sure I will allow Liam to slip out of the bag of holding! Go for it. It shounds like Sassarra, Bhashir and Varvara Ulyanova Vladimirovna come in as slaves. You may pick one item that the gnolls in the area had that is yours to recover!

Thanks for the invite. I look forward to playing with you all! I’ll go with the +1 longspear.

BTW, she seems to be speaking for the longer-term slaves. I'm not trying to put words into Bhashir or Varvara's mouths.

As for the breathing, A bottle of air always works. Perhaps one that was broken and limited.

Going with my mwk composite longbow, keyed to +2.

Rolling HP:

HP: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 3) = 10 above average nice!

It seems like everyone has their way in, go for it new players!

If you have any questions feel free to ask here.

Prospective plan is to grab any armor that could possible be used, casts divine favor on me and pew pew pew support our Burly friend.

Sounds good Vivi. Apparently I never added the loot Aukan picked up... :(

Vivi is currently seething with cold fury, at the Gnolls, at her own failure to keep her previous party alive and at some things that happened during captivity, she is incredibly eager to establish herself in the new party by showing her might and abilities (her last party was not exactly composed of friendly persons).
She will relax markedly and open up once a degree of vengeance has been had and she actually recogniced that the new party means her no harm.

So I'm pulling someone from my Bag of Holding, then? Just need the confirmation before I actually go for it.

GM? Liam?

I owe you all my apologies.

I manage IT support for a military medical facility. At the end of January, we swapped from our old electronic health record to a newer, commercial product. The tail end of our 8 months of preparations consumed more time than I expected, and I suddenly disappeared. Once we reached the point I could look up again, my wife was sick. Then I was sick.

Then, after another couple of weeks, I realized I hadn't even touched my computer at home for months, nor visited these forums and games on my phone.

I didn't intentionally abandon anyone, nor ignore the private messages that I see in my inbox, but I certainly understand that it feels like I abandoned you.

I assume after that much absence, that you have dropped my character and moved on. I do not blame you. That's on me.

Hope you're both okay now, Auso.

Is my understanding correct that we have 2 traits, +1 campaign trait, +1 additional trait if we take a drawback?

That is correct!

Vivi, you would see that four normal gnolls and two brute gnolls lie dead in a pile nearby.

Yup you are pulling Liam from your backpack, there must be some magical trinket in there that let him breathe!!!

Auso, your character is still with us. Surprisingly we have not done much. I don't blame you for abandoning us, I would welcome you back. I totally understand life just getting too busy. It has happened to me and I am doing my best to keep my games open to all players, especially those who have had some hard times. Grace is a big one that I give to all my players. Now if you do stick with us, those who created characters to fill your role are more than welcome to adjust their characters if you want.

I'm good either way. If the players want the characters to have those foci, then they should. I'm not a selfish enough player that I can't let someone else have some of this fun!

Hope you're both okay now, Auso.

She's as good as she gets. Looking to swap out the red oaks in front of our home for Crepe Myrtles and then reworking the flower bed under my office window.

I'm fine, but having trouble forcing myself to do the writing I REALLY need to finish at work. <shrug>

Thank you for asking.

One of my stock responses for people: I'm still moving and breathing. Seems like a good day so far.

@GM
How strict is the initiative order? For example, currently it is:
24 Aukan
22 Victrix
21 gnoll 1
19 Sassarra
15 Balan
15 gnoll 2
13 Sendi
11 Bhashir
10 Vivi
8 gnoll 3
7 Auso
6 Throrgar

Do I have to wait until Bhashir makes his turn or can I start doing my turn as soon as the hostile before me, in my case Gnoll 2, has done his turn?

For what its worth, Vivis current intention is to move up, about 10 feet north of Aukan (so that AoOs from Aukan would make it risky for ghouls to rush past him and hit Vivi) and unload on the ghoul currently standing on the right stairs. Do these stairs go up or down btw.?

I should be posting tonight. Work has been very hectic this week.

Funniest way I've ever joined a game. Maybe he was knocked out (or put under chemically) and not using as much air for that reason.

Everyone should post their actions. Once most, if not all, have posted I will recap the round and move to the next round. You do not should you wait for others.

We do reactions based on others posts as needed.

Sounds good Vivi, make it dramatic! I have to pull up the module to double check but I think it is just a raised section.

It is great Liam and you get to come in with all your gear! Lucky for me I am making the loot for the exslaves rather simple, one new item after an encounter.

Good to know the standard. How do you deal with conflicts where an action becomes impossible?

Then you can Recon it, otherwise it would take a week to get done with a round. I plan to move to a new round every day unless sooner.

I will be going to Round 2 soon! Round 3 will be tomorrow!

If we skip you because you haven't posted, still post for the previous rounds to catch up.

Given how many people we are, Urban Skald would have probably been stronger mechanically (especially since I can start my performance as an immidiate action if I pick savage intuition, and then grab Spirit totem lesser via extra rage power at level 3, everyone gets a spirit friend hitting with +6 for 1d4+4 negative energy damage), I am quite happy with the shadow oracle version though.

Hey all! I'll be joining you all in a bit :) Happy to get my PbP on. Excited to finally play this character concept i've been thinking on for quite a while.

Ooh, this looks like a cool concept. But excuse me if I don't offer to shake hands.

They'll settle for one of those awkward elbow bumps!

I like it, and welcome. Now you just need a dip into Golemfist Magus and you can have two constructed arms! ;)

And yes, I am not taking any items. Fortunately I don't need armor or weapons to be effective. It simply doesn't make sense for her to be picking up cool stuff at this point. I figure it will balance out later.
