GM_DBH's Curse Of The Crimson Throne
Game Master
DBH
The city of Korvosa has dark and deadly secrets. Those secrets are coming home to roost as some unlikely heroes are drawn into the underbelly in search of answers to their pasts.
Plague has come to Korvosa, and while the new queen and her advisors bicker over how to address the calamity, fear takes hold on the streets.
As the number of sick folk grows, people take desperate measures to avoid the plague, shutting themselves within their homes, shunning the infected, and even seeking escape from the city.
The disease is prevalent in Korvosa’s most impoverished areas, particularly Old Korvosa—blister-faced beggars and hacking common folk are visible on every corner.

Surprise, surprise. Looks like putting holidays in the middle of the week means that weeks a write off. :)
Lets start again on the coming Monday.
Hope you're all having a reasonably good holiday season.

@GM_DBH: By having to force them open you mean more in the "give me a strength check" or in the "this will take a lot of time you don't have" way?
Are you sure you want to do that?
The take a lot of time meaning. :)
In fact looking at the shutters you're impressed by how well made and strong they are. These are new and very expensive shutters. Not what you'd normally expect to see on a dock warehouse?
Are you sure you want to do that?
Sorry, no update today. I've got the Monday illness.
Are you sure you want to do that?
No update sorry, car problems have kept me rushing around all day trying to get if working again. Stinking hot day as well so I'm really washed out. :(
Did get the car working thankfully. Though it will need to go in and get a serious servicing.

Hmmm... decisions decisions. +1 Breastplate (+7 AC) vs Fullplate (+9 AC).
As an armored battlemage, I can get the full-plate up to +11 AC with a +2 enhancement.
But since the armor would be mundane, I wouldn't;t be able to go with a higher-level enhancement like spell resistance.
There's also the issue of wearing the signature armor of the Queen's Guard, and the advantages/disadvantages that would go with it. And even if I don't wear it, taking a set might be useful if we need to infiltrate somewhere...though I suck at Bluff.
Any thoughts?

Kayleigh can turn the plate into masterwork with the masterwork transformation spell for 150gp later, so I think it is worth to take it with us.
Important to remember that each full plate armor must be individually fitted for each individual, so you cannot use it at all until you bring it to a master armorsmith to adjust it (costs 1d4x100gp).
Also worth to consider is to add the nimble modification before turning it magical.

Will take some time and gold but definitely sounds like a plan. I might even have them alter the color to make a point as direct opposition to the Grey Maidens.

Sorry about my recent silence. Crazy busy with work and a few other things. I'm hoping to get caught up before the GM posts tonight.
Are you sure you want to do that?
Real life always comes first. Take the time you need.
Just let us know when you can't post and I'll bot you.

Sorry, ran out of time today. No update.
And if no one makes the Perception check, even with Aiding another then I suggest a careful search of the rooms you're in. :)

Taking a look on Vedika's sheet, she has +14 to DD, but that doesn't include her MWK thieves' tools, so that should bring it to +16.
Still, we are realistically needing a Take 20 here. Depending on how complex the mechanism is (a DC 35 suggests something complex), it might take us between 2 and 15 minutes.
I'm thinking we might not have that much time.

Yeah, this feels like one of those cases where the writer was in some Pathfinder Society game where a cheezy rando bragged about making a 1st level rogue that could hit DC 40 on Disable Device and took that to heart in their writing work as "Hmm gotta make those DCs really high because exploiters will always hit them"

No update today due to stuff.

Sorry for going quiet. Health very poor at the moment. Constant nausea and lethargy have me medicated and sleeping as much as I can.
Hoping to recover in a day or two.

Rest up. Have a healing channel, courtesy of Milani and her servant. ;)

Feeling a bit better, catching up on all the things I haven't done this week. In short bursts followed by rests as I'm still lacking energy. At least I'm clearheaded again.
Some form of flu or bug, Doctor said it was something seasonal, she looked like she'd been seeing it a lot. The antibiotics killed it thankfully.
Start again on Monday. Thanks for the patience.

Just a heads up that it is Carnaval here in Brazil and we'll be having some friends coming to enjoy the time with us. I'll probably be unable to post until Wednesday.

Is it something that can be bypassed by breaking something, or a mechanism that has to manipulated to work?
Are you sure you want to do that?
You can break the covers and scramble down the lift shaft, or use Disable device and manipulate the lift back up for you to ride.
The second option is probably the best to try. The lift is down below so you'd have to break it's roof to get to the secret basement level. :)

I'm back!
So, I think it makes more sense IC for us to break the covers and scramble down the shaft. It isn't elegant, but we are breaking into this place and the DD would take us up to 15 minutes. I'm not sure this much time would be reasonable.
If you agree, Zahur can do it. Otherwise, since this can only be done with a take 20, there is no real need to wait for Vedika to roll anything.

On my way to Canada for cousin's wedding. Will post when I can
Are you sure you want to do that?
Got it, have fun if you can. :)
I'll bot you if needed.
Are you sure you want to do that?
OK, a change up for everyone.
The book says you should be 7th before entering this level, then says you should be 8th when you finish the book, and this is the last part of the book!
So I'm ruling you leveled up to 8th level before you came down the elevator shaft. No new spells for the casters sadly. You'll have to memorize them later when you get a rest.

Getting the car worked on so no update today.

OK, I've finally got Kayleigh updated through 8th level. The only thing missing is her 7th-level feat. I'm thinking of going with Craft Magic Arms and Armor.

That could be pretty good with the downtime we have from time to time.
It would also help immensely with tailoring and modifying the Grey Maiden armor I took, with selling my current armor covering most of the cost to make it masterwork and Nimble.
And enhancing weapons when we have a chance in between missions would definitely be helpful to everyone!

Not sure if it would matter, but is the mage wielding any weapon? If he isn't, he should be flat-footed against all of Zahur's attacks.
