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.

Ugh! Had a full response typed up, but by the time I got time to post it's now irrelevant. lol.

Loot added to the sheet.

Recommendation: The 12 bars (1200gp) split 6 ways. 200 gp each and 200 to party fund for healing/restoration/ lodging if away from the citadel etc.

Does anyone need to get hold of a non-lethal weapon to avoid penalties? I have a couple combat spells that don't deal lethal damage that I'll prepare and I'll pick up a sap.
M Half-Elf Un. Shaman 3. HP 14/23. AC 19, FF16, T 13. Perc. +10, Init +3. S: F+6, R+5, W+6 (+2 vs enchants). Reach 10ft. Att (W/PA): +5 vs AC (+2 vs movement AoO), 1d8+4. CMB+5, CMD 16. Low Light vision. Imm: Sleep.

Yeah, Eric buys a sap. He will suck with it, but better than nothing?

Saps are martial weapons (really?); Ghil would be better off using his +1 dagger to deal nonlethal damage (-4 penalty) than a nonmagical sap with the same penalty for nonproficiency; at least the dagger is magical; it ends up being +1 higher to hit.
Are you sure you want to do that?

No time to update tonight sorry.

Hey everyone,

I was doubting on what to do for a while, but I think I'm going to withdraw from this campaign. It has nothing to do with the GM or the players; I'm just in too many PBP's and need to drop a few. This is just one of the newest ones. Also, if I am honest, I listened to/am listening to a podcast that is doing this PBP for an hour every two weeks, and with the rate that is going compared to PBP the PBP will never catch up to what I already know of the main plot. I joined in large part on request to help out and cover for Ghil when he dropped but now that he is back, Eric isn't needed that much I feel.

On the story front, Eric could be summoned by his Biological father to the Elven encampment to help out there I suppose, or to the Shoanti to continue his training.

Gearwise he will happily give what he gained the last few encounters back to everyone. That is 1000 g, a sleeves of many garments, a cloak of resistance +1 and a masterwork crossbow.

Kind regards!
Are you sure you want to do that?

Sorry to hear that Eric. Thanks for stepping in when we needed. I do understand about being in too many PBP.

Family dinner so no update tonight.

Sorry, no update tonight.

We are down to four players. I find five to be the best for the party balance.

What does everyone else feel about adding another?

Fine by me!

Got home late & tired. No update sorry.

OK, I've being looking through players who might join up. Does anyone know someone who would be interested in joining?

Arcane is pretty well covered, as is Rogue. So Divine or Martial would work best I think.

I think we've got most of the bases covered, Ariadne and I combine for martial stuff but I don't know what Ghil's plans are so it might be worth looking for a caster to complement his casting.

While a full martial definitely wouldn't hurt, we're not desperately in need, though a Divine caster would definitely bring a lot of useful magic to the table.
Male NG Half-Elven Oracle 3 | HP: 24/24 | AC: 17 16 (13 12 Tch, 15 14 Fl) | CMD: 14 (12 Fl) | F: +3, R: +4, W: +4 | Init: +2 | Perc: +6, SM +4 | Speed 30 ft | Active conditions: hedging weapons

An oracle is obviously a divine caster, and gets every cure spell automatically. He will stay divine-focused; I plan to start taking Evangelist levels from 7+. But he's an odd sort of divine caster, more mashing together a bunch of other odd things. He's not really built as a healer (though he'll always be good at that, and when we start buying healing wands, he can manage all of the out-of-combat healing we need). He'll be learning paragon surge as soon as he has access. Really, Ghil is built for flexibility.

I think another divine caster would be a great fit. An inquisitor or a cleric that can fight might be good, though I'd hesitate to make our ask quite so specific.

Yeah, keep in mind that Vedika is going to be total garbage at combat, as the arcane trickster basically fights like a sorcerer who happens to have minor sneak attack bonuses on the rare occasions when they score a hit. As a partial caster, spells will have sucky low save DCs, so basically only reliable magic is buffs and utility spells. Ergo she will be worthless in fights and only good at the rogue stuff, so having extra combat power is probably a good idea.

I've got in touch with another player and they've agreed to join us. Profession Smith 6 Ranks will be joining us shortly with a Merciful healer Cleric of Milani. :)

Nice!

So between my archetype and buffing with spells, I'll be functioning as the party tank.

I seem to have picked up a cold from somewhere? The weather is getting warmer so of course I'm sniffing and coughing. No update sorry.

Hey all! I'm happy to join your party.

Kayleigh's not much of a fighter (Str +1), but she's got decent AC and isn't afraid to wade into a battle. At worst, she'll at least be a potential flanking buddy.

She's more of a support character at this point, offering decent healing along with some buff spells. As a merciful healer, she only has the Healing Domain and can't use her channels to harm undead. I'm trying to add some equipment to help in that latter regard.

Storywise, Kayleigh originally took the Unhappy Childhood (Religious) campaign trait. Looking at Ariadne's background, perhaps she could have been the girl that she stepped in to save from a beating from Gaedren Lamm that earned Ariadne her own beating from the old crimelord. Kayleigh's likely been doing social service in Old Korvosa and the Shingles during the time your heroes have been adventuring. Perhaps they've heard of a healer helping the poor folk.

Hoping to have a full character sheet by the end of the day.

Still not feeling too well. Have another night off.

Even if tit's been a couple of years since they were around each other, Kayleigh would definitely recognize Ari, there's no mistaking the scarred face from the acid burns that were part of the savage beating.

Just a heads up that I'm on holiday from this Saturday (October 29th) for two weeks. I'll be back on November 14th when normal posting will resume. I'll have my iPad with me so I'll try to post as and when I can but I'll need people to move my character around the map, if that's OK?

Ariadne has some RL issues to deal with. So I'll wait till Monday to move on.

I'm happy to say that my son's knee surgery was a success, and better than the doctor's initial best case scenario. I'll read through and get caught up shortly.

Apologies for the radio silence. The first few days in Disney were exhausting, and then I got sick. My daughter and I picked up a respiratory virus at the end of the first week, she was better within 48 hours but here I am 12 days later with pneumonia. Starting to improve now but I haven't had much energy for anything. Should be back to regular posting, fingers crossed.

Looking through the book now seems like the best time for you to level up to 4th.

Always nice when there's a clear break in the story to do that.
