That is perfectly fine. Yes, you are immune to such activities Ramie. Please continue to communicate how you feel and such.

I will be at a conference from Friday through Monday. I am not sure how my posting will go. Feel free to bot me as needed.

I am not throwing any new threats at you. Especially since you are in a safe land. I tried instigating in gameplay but maybe you need a push from me too.

Ask questions!!!

Sorry, I thought I was still waiting on a response to knocking on the door the key went to. I just realized I missed it. I'll get something up today as time allows.

I'm interested in seeing where Krysta's interaction goes, so I don't mind waiting.

There was that mansion we did one run through. I think there were more runs to do for exp. It could help level people up more.

So where is everyone?! If nothing else you need to be asking questions here!!! One post a day minimum!!!

73 Minor Tech (cell phone, laptop, ) Is this a new item that works here or does it make the device we already had work here?

These are just those types of items.

Magical shield generator)

Is that something that keeps up the shield spell full time?

No not normally but you can choose it to have that function. I based it off Borderlands. You gain temporary hp was the initial idea. Though there are lots of options. Put out 3 ideas or more and roll.

Loot Box: 1d100 ⇒ 61 Beneficial Greater minor magical item Item type?: 1d100 ⇒ 24 Potion

Day 10 Loot Box: 1d100 ⇒ 62 Beneficial Greater minor magical item Item type?: 1d100 ⇒ 53 Scroll
I'll stop there for now in case I'm still doing something wrong... If we get something we want to sell, is it 50% for regular items and 25% for cursed?

Yes, 50% for regular items and 25% for cursed.

I can't find my Chosen wish!Wish!
Any ideas Zaidel?

looks at Angelica's Blue Screen
"No. Unless it was a +2 to Dexterity?" The satyr shrugged.

Krysta listened as everyone talked about wishes and the stabilizing of them. She hadn't done much with the wishes yet, she was more than a little nervous about it given how the stories of wishes always seemed to end, and so she focused on the answer to Ramie's question with rapt attention.

Figuring out all the loot boxes from the multi-rolls:
Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 42 = Very Cursed Lesser Minor magical item
Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 19 = cloak
Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 26 = pig

Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 40 = Very Cursed Lesser Minor magical item
Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 63 = Beneficial lesser Medium magical item
Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 24 = dove

Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 49 = Cursed Lesser Minor magical item
Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 79 = 500gp
Loot Box Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 21 = rat

An eclectic selection of results.

Here comes a quick lesson of what I do for these magical items.

I use this chart.

So for the 'Very Cursed Lesser Minor magical item'
1d100 ⇒ 8
You get a weapon. A simple +1 weapon or a specific item.
1d100 ⇒ 50
+1 Weapon
You could roll for the item but you likely will sell it so it doesn't matter. Pick something you can use.
Very Cursed:
Gain a requirement and a drawback. (Some times I use Intermittent Functioning Triggers instead for one of them.)
1d100 ⇒ 90
Character must make a Fortitude save each day or take 1 point of Strength damage.
Character must eat twice as much as normal.

You are welcome to go through the process and leave the cursed stuff to me. Most of the time you get a scroll or potion of 2nd level or lower.

It looks like some people stop resting at day 4... What do you do?

Jean wants to find a way to stabilize the group's wishes to reduce some powerful curses from hitting us.

Improve the Hexproof ability! It's 3rd tier right now. Which allows you to negate one curse per... week I think.

So Jean will be looking for Rituals to do that.

It looks like some people stop resting at day 4... What do you do?

Well, if I remember correctly Aurora came along with Cayden to The Spire. Zaidel wanted to stand for a few paintings for Aurora. But I doubt she brought anything to paint with. She has her own painting studio in New Faces.

Zaidel, talk to her!

Jean what spells/rituals were you thinking? The only thing I can think of is to use wish magic to increase the tier of hexproof.

If there is no narrative conclusion with Cayden and The Fateweaver title, Zaidel will seek out Aurora.

Despite his focus on the Blue Book Rituals, Zaidel will maintain his Daily Quest requirements. Felt like I should to state that.

That was expected Ziadel! ;)

Zaidel, talk to her!

There could be a quest reward for a particularly intriguing quest or set of quests.

I'm getting confused again. I know you want us to talk it through and I've been trying but it's still not making complete sense to me Matthew lets us copy another chosen's wish, but it's not us making a wish ourselves? Krysta and I are level 4 so we pick 2 of the chosen's abilities?

Then there was this:

On the way to The Spire she asks, "Does anyone still need the ritual for stabilized and safer wishes? It is a 24 hour ritual. Ramie? The Chosen of Cayden Cailean will need to do it but with his presence I believe we can all do it at the same time." After the 2nd day everyone should be making one wish per day.

During the ritual she makes sure your wish is coming from your diety. Your first wish is to create a focus item. Jellena chose a ring... the ring which is the basis for the rings she handed out. The 1nd thing is you need to determine the cost. For Jellena it is to soak the ring in life blood every day. She has to kill something everyday. For the Caydenites it might have to do with drinking, like getting slammed the night before and keep intoxicated. Free a slave. Please someone with your touch. I am just going off his tenants. Desna is more a fluttering butterfly so I am not sure. "After you choose it I can cast to see how well it will work."

Am I supposed to do this even though Desna is not present here like Cayden? I need a cheat sheet for everything I'm supposed to be deciding on. XD

You and Kystra can choose 2 Chosen Wishes from your teammates to have.

Until, we get Desna in your presence, you can't take part in the Fateweaver Ritual.

I will try to get a post tomorrow since I need to include my wishes, but it may take longer as this weekend is going to be a bit hectic.

Yes Jean please propose said: particularly intriguing quest or set of quests.

Remember I am not introducing any new hazards, events, or such while you are still in the Golden Glade. You have stabilized the region.

Oh I understand having a cheat sheet there are a lot of factors in this game.

As Krysta and Ramie are not 6th level yet. They can only select two Chosen wishes at the moment. Most likely their own wish and one more. Once they are 6th level they may add one more. I know the term 'wish' is being used a lot. It should be called Original Chosen Super, or something not with wish in the name.

I guess it's the wording that's tripping me up. You say to select two, but apparently one of the two has to be to maintain our original wish? It doesn't sound right to "choose" something I already have, if that makes sense? I guess the idea is I could potentially "swap" being kitsune for something else if I wanted to? I don't, just trying to get clarity about this choice.

Then you don't have to take the ability.

I get what you are saying but ***Only*** the Original Chosen Super's are available to copy that you have met. You may choose to not go with your own Original Chosen Super.

Original Chosen Supers:
Jean - be a dragon (He can't gestalt.)
Krysta - Half Amethyst Dragon, template
Matthew - Copy "Original Chosen Super"
Alia - x5 boost points
Mia - double the amount of spells you can cast per day
Ramie - Kitsume
Zaidel - Saytr
Angelica - Eldritch Blast and arrow combination
Jellena - A wish per day with requirements

The choices once made can't be changed for a week.

So keeping Kitsume which I suggest.
At forth level: Kitsume and x5 boost points.
At sixth level: Kitsume, x5 boost points, double spells per day.
Or a different combination of your choice.

If you need me to determine your random loot box, please remind me! I hope to have a timeline set in place and get us moving again. I can't wait for you to meet the evil king!

Much as I hate to say it things are just moving too quickly in this game, and I don't think I can keep up on it. The concepts great, and you all are a lot of fun, but I feel it best for me to bow out at this time.

Please feel free to have Krysta as an NPC if you like, it won't bother me at all. I've had fun and if things calm down enough for me to be able to keep up, I would dearly love to come back but I don't think it will be any time soon.

Good luck and have fun you all!

Please don't go, Krysta! It's my fault! I post too much! I'm sorry! I just really like Arcanium! Please don't go!

I'm not blaming anyone for it, I have been having troubles from the beginning and it isn't just the rapidity of posting (which is not a bad thing and I am not blaming you Zidel) there have been a lot of things that have confused me, the wish system for one, and all the daily quest rolls, have been rather overwhelming for me too. I do a lot of my posting from work, and it makes it really hard to bounce between things to make sure that I get the rolls set up right and such.

To be honest I don't want to back out, ya'll are great, and I am liking Krysta as a character, the game is just a bit overwhelming for me to handle.

I get it, it's a lot to keep track of and as someone who stresses over decisions, I get anxious over all the options sometimes. Maybe we could both abstain from the smorgasbord of options for now and let the GM know when we're prepared to process more?

Besides, if Jean is right, then Krysta will wander off with all her op crystal dragon ninja hotness to become a Dark Soul and we'll have to fight her. >.<

(I do want the extra boost points, though... XD)

I will grant that we are at a point now where the daily quest is easily an auto complete now with no rolls needed so that does simplify things a bit.

That could be an option, and maybe I am making more of it than it really is, especially since we only have two right now. I think a part of it is me being confused from the beginning when doing my initial build.

...I am talking myself into continuing the game now....

Alright, I retract my leaving, at least for now. Since we have gotten through the worst of the figure things out stretch, I'll give it a bit more.

It seems like the boost point bump (still need to spend mine) would be for the best as a second wish.

If you need anything spelled out so you can specifically know what something is doing let me know here or PM me.

I know it's can be overwhelming at times but I am here to help!

Krysta, I am glad you are choosing to stay with it.

I need you to vote for one of the options:
10 days of vacation
18 days of vacation
or more?

18 days of vacation. That way we have more time to learn from multiple tomes.

I think that getting multiple/most tomes read by everyone is a good idea, especially for us lower people.

I believe I am only missing the day 9 item from the rolls and a response from Jellena.

I am fine with 18 days. Does that mean we can each use three tomes?

Yes you will each get to use three tomes. We could even make it 36 days and you will all have a +5 on all ability scores and The Spire can teleport.

Remember that the enhancements will make your ability score increases in your boost system a lot more spendy.

Your magical items do not add to your base ability scores in regards to the Boost system. Whereas most others do.

Both newer and senior members of Aeria Gloris would greatly benefit from a LONG vacation studying the Tomes and Manuals.
Because Zaidel took those 4 days to study Blue Magic, he would likely only partake in 5 of the 6 offered ability boosts.

Even the satyr is apprehensive at the thought of his Charisma getting any higher.

Zaidel's Charisma is already diety level.

I think it's 6 days per book. So with 18 days we only finish 3 books at most currently. I would try for Strength, Con and Intelligence to start with.

Sounds good. Sorry for my absence I got home and pretty much passed out Wednesday and Thursday. Sub plans Friday and lots of chores Saturday. I am traveling today so I will do what I can tonight.

By the wording of the sending, Ramie was the only target. So I shall wait for her response.

I honestly don't know how to respond. It seems like dream communication is not going to work here. I guess I'll wait until we go to New Faces? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Zaidel has a means for instant teleportation to New Faces. Let him know what your Goddess said.

So? You both going to head to New Faces? What is everyone else doing? Do I need to steer the group?

Was the mansion that we could go through and do missions in New Faces? I forget. The rest of us can do a run at that while Ramie is busy.

To the North of NewFaces by a few hours ride. 20 -30 minutes for Jean. If I am remembering correctly.
