Quest: The Silverhex Chronicles

Game Master Diaz Ex Machina

Sorry guys for the protracted slowness in posting, but I had some pretty busy days, all while being sick. I'll write something as soon as I'm able, thank you for your patience.

No worries. Take your time and get better.

Hello all. I'm going to be in nature and away from computers starting Friday evening (4/29, 5pm, US/Pacific time) until late Sunday 5/1. I should be able to catch up in all games that same evening. As my absence is over the weekend I hope/expect for minimal disruption to my games.

Hey guys, just a heads up, I will post later tomorrow, probably around 5pm GMT+0200. There will be more details on the corpse, so if you're interested in those (I think you should) wait for my post.

Thanks for heads up, GM Diaz.

Sounds good!

Thank you for waiting guys, took me a bit more to find the time to post. Anyway finally some action, hope you're enjoying this!

yes I am enjoying it. thanks.

I'm finally in a routine of checking during lunch and thinking of my move and then posting either later that day or at night.

I am, yes!

Hey guys, I've added a Dice Macros slide on Maps & Pictures. If you don't mind could you fill that up? Thank you!

Done!

Hey guys! (you may have read this message in other games) I'm on a weird schedule until about May 12th. There will be days (today) when I can be very active on the PbP, but there will be days when I won't be able to post here. I'm fine, just real life. From May 11-12, I return to my usual daily routine. I should have written about it a week ago, but I hoped that I could post every day anyway - but no )) Sorry for any delays. Feel free to bot me btw.

Thank you for letting us know @‘Eκάτη, if you need to give me any directions about your botting, please feel free to do it here.

I take this opportunity to tell you that I will have a bit of things going on IRL from Friday 5/6 to Sunday 5/8. I should be able to post, but if you don't see any update from me it's just because I will be very busy those days.

Hitting with a pickaxe in close combat is our everything ))
+ a lot of Perception / Sense Motive / Survival out of combat

I was planning to fill macros after finishing with work, and now I see someone already did it, so thank you for that!

I was going through them and needed some, so I figured I would fill a bit of them myself :)

Hi. I'm sorry to do this, but my life just took a turn and I won't be able to spend the time necessary to play in this game.

Thanks for the fun so far.

Take care Will. It saddens me to see you go, but real life is more important than a game. Wish you luck!

To the remaining players, should I recruit another character, or play a pregen myself to balance out things? It's my first time so I don't really know what to do.

Perhaps recruit with a time limit whereafter we fall back to the pregen option. It's the weekend now, so maybe give it the weekend?

I will reopen the recruitment for a couple days and see if anyone is interested, otherwise you'll have one of those moments where a famous guest star enters the scene in a sitcom, with the public clapping and cheering for a few seconds.

here I am....just have to change thew avatar pic....haven't decided on a name yet...so will use something i make up for the game..will decide on one before chronicle goes out though...

What would help you guys out more, an inquisitor or a magus? The inquisitor is a ranged attack with decent Knowledge skills while the magus is a melee build with only Knowledge (Arcana). Both have decent Perception and each one has a Wand of Cure Light Wounds.

My vote is for the dwarf. If not a dwarf, then anyone.
;)

inquisitor...

My vote is for the dwarf.

This group has seen more dwarves than a suburban garden has seen gnomes!

Anyway @Shadow Dragon really, picke the one you like most and let's get you three into the adventure!

Since grimdog73 demanded it, I'll play my Inquisitor.

Ok, great! Now if the newcomers would kindly position their tokens at the entrance of the cemetery (the open gate on the right side of the map), I would then progress with my narration.

I believe I have him in the correct spot, adjust him if necessary.

can someone place me...i'm on my phone right now...having trouble with the screen...

Done, I put him right in front of the empty grave we're going to push him into! :P

After listening to what Mina said, you notice that the shadow on the bust is getting longer by the minute. It seems that the Sarvio mausoleum is blocking the sunlight on the bust.

I'm not getting the significance of this. This is a natural thing that can happen, but is it supposed to be implying some interaction with the "illusion", i.e., something is not casting a shadow that should be?

Ok guys, I don't really know what to do to let you understand what the answer to the riddle is. Try to read again the handout, the INT checks' spoilers, what the bust "said". Just know that is quickly getting dark and the Sarvio girl is getting impatient.

I will give you until the end of Monday, roughly 44 more hours, to get the answer to the riddle, then the adventure will have to move on anyway.

In reading some of the previous posts, I'd like to point something out from this post:

The DC 10 Survival and Khon'Ur's subsequent Sense Motive roll.

Did any PC check to see if Rhiannon has a short sword? There's only three sets of prints: two people, one horse, you found a corpse and then a woman with a horse. If the PCs filled in the new arriving PCs on this information, Gaius is going to suspect Rhiannon killed the Tolliver. After that point he isn't going to trust her in the least and we should be prepared to fight her - perhaps starting the fight.

It seems that the mausoleum is blocking the light and it needs to go or at least part of it does. I guess what part of the mausoleum is specifically blocking the light or is it the whole thing? Meaning would the whole thing need to come down or just part? I don't think any reasonable mod writer would expect 1st level goofs to have the equipment to drag down a small building so what part of it needs to go?

I guess what part of the mausoleum is specifically blocking the light or is it the whole thing?

The part that is currently projecting its shadow on the bust is the spire at the top of the Sarvio mausoleum.

I'll bet the answer is 'No' but do any of the PCs have Knowledge (Engineering)? It would give the group some insight into how best to accomplish demolishing the spire/top of the mausoleum. Since these are 1st level PCs there won't be any adamantine slashing/bludgeoning weapons, do any PCs have steel slashing or bludgeoning weapons?

I suppose Stavarg could unload on it with kinetic blast, but no he's not an engineer.

When grimdog73 wakes up maybe he'll tell us if his dwarf can hack it away.

Heads up: I'm having some health issues these days and can't assure my presence at the desktop, so I may post hopefully later, but more probably tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

all good man.....worry about yourself...health comes first...

All the best!!!

Get better soon. My allergies are killing me right now and my head feels like it's going to explode. :(

Hello GM,
Unfortunately, I have drop out of this game.

I currently really don’t feel my character and this reduces enthusiasm and motivation. I have to rethink the concept and probably rebuild.

I hope I didn’t cause any inconvenience.

Have fun everyone!!

Ok Mina, sorry to see you go. I hope you'll find the right character to play soon :)

Thanks! Can you mark noral and Mina as inactive in the campaign please? Thanks

Guys, I'm very sorry, but I need a couple of days to get better. I caught a very bad cold, my head feels just like two balloons [cit.], I need some time to recovery. I'll try to write something Friday or Saturday, ok? Meanwhile I will get tested for COVID, hoping everything will be fine.

No worries, things happen. We'll see you when you're better.

Get better GM Diaz. I am also afk this week because on Saturday I had unexpected roof leaking in my room and I had to move out, so now I'm trying to settle out somewhere else. :)
