Angels Fall: A Hells' Vengeance Campaign

Game Master bluedove

Have we lost Octavonius? Player has not posted in a couple of weeks.

I will give him a few more days but if he does not post then I will write out his PC.

Oh man ... our disguises are going to be sooo crappy! ;-)

Hey everyone, I would propose to rest as going into the encounter with fatigue is not a good idea.

No objection. Our deception is pretty weak anyway. Might as well be late too. <grin>

Yeah, and to be honest this is going to be a real mess when we arrive there and we start the fight! :)

Hello GM, should we really roll another disguise check? I though we had already rolled .... and failed. ;-)

Hello all,

As I am sure you have noticed the posting rate of this game has slacked off. I take a lot of the blame here as I have had to deal with RL issues, but I find my enthusiasm also waning here. So it is with a heavy heart I announce I am going to end this campaign.

I know you guys are still enjoying this game and I do feel badly I cannot give you the experience for your PCs that you deserve.

On a brighter note I would like to start another campaign, but it probably won't be PF1e or 2e. I am looking at the DCC (Dungeon Crawl Classics) setting and I really want to run one of those OSR rulesets.

So again, I thanks you all for participating in this game, and feel free to recruit a replacement DM :)

So have fun gaming and I will see you around the boards.

Thanks all,
Eric

PS Mightypion: I am sending you a PM.

I really want to keep going. Everyone ok with that if we recruit a DM? (I really like my character.)

Thanks a lot for the fun ride so far GM!! I really enjoyed it. :-)

I am only playing PF1 but thanks for the offer!

All the best, everyone!

I’m good with that, Fellzir.

Cool, I'll put up a proper post.

Let's clear out the loot list, whether it be grabbing stuff or selling stuff and dividing it by 4.

Does Amala have the Cloak of Resistance (is Futile)?

The post has been posted.

Help Wanted

I would of course continue! ;.)

Okay guys,

Glad to see you have decided to continue with this :) I hope you find a DM soon!

I will mark this gave as Inactive in a few days.

Okay, I've done a quick dive into the gameplay thread and think I'm ready to go.
The link to the current maps is under my profile.

GM Wulfson: Feel free to take over this thread if you'd like.

Let me know if you are going to do that, else I'll mark this thread as inactive tomorrow.

I sent an email to Paizo Customer Service to transfer the thread to me.

Oh Hello there!

WOW! Thanks so much GM Wulfson!

A privilege to have you on board!!

Please tells us in case you want us to do anything in a specific way for your game.

And again big thanks to DM Eric for everything so far!! :-D

Quick overview on what Aurelius can more or less do in combat:

Strengths:
Aurelius is reasonably burly and hits reasonably hard. He can buff the party and has, via command spells, some single person control.

weakness:
20 feet move speed and no particular ranged options, with 10 dex as a 7/10 BAB. Bad reflex saves.

Longer version:
--He does ok damage in single combat, and has some control using command spells.
--He has a "mini smite" once per day, but it only lasts until his first successfull hit
--As a standardaction, I can hand out party wide inquisitor things. The most commonly used currently is healing, which grants everyone fast healing one for 1 minute (so, +10 hp and you autostabilize for the duration), there are other such blessings available, and they somewhat scale with characterlevel. I get to use them my character level times per day, so they are the main limited resource.
--I have an Antipaladins bad touch
--while he is evil, he has a once per day "no f*!+ you Sir Paladin" and can as an immidiate action count as neutral. This can make him dodge a smite. He will always use this (if available) to not get "smitten".

Story wise:
--Being a Demonspawn thiefling in Cheliax, he has a big chip on his shouler concerning Nocticula, and constantly sprouts conspiracy theories about her being behind everything glorious reclamation related!
--So far the demons, if they care at all, are mostly amused by this.

I use the Milestone advancement "track" and looking things over, by this point in the adventure you all should be 3rd level. So go ahead and level up "before" reaching the fort.

Regarding hit points, roll for each level. However, you cannot do worse than half your hit dice i.e. Amala has a d8, so if she rolls a 4 or better she keeps the roll. If she rolls a 3 or lower she would bump it up to 4 (plus Constitution modifier, if any).

So, if anyone rolled less than 1/2 their HD for 2nd level go ahead and bump yourself up (Which just appears to be Fellzir and Cimri. So, Fellzir give yourself an extra hit point).

Bwahahaha!

hp: 1d8 ⇒ 3 =4 hp
Feat chosen: Furious Focus (no penalties for first power attack hit).

+1BAB +1 Reflex +(4+2) hp
+(4+1+1) skillpoints (favored class to skills)

additional spell known level 0
Guidance
Additional spell known level 1
Expeditious retreat

Infusion (cruelty from Antipaladin spell list) Fatigued
DC 15 fort save or be fatigued

not 100% sure about skills but shouldnt matter much this fight.

Ahh, finally 3rd level.

Due to christmas I will need time until Dec 28 to be able to make the adjustment.

hp: 1d10 ⇒ 6

I will need a few minutes, hopefully tomorrow.
hp: 1d8 ⇒ 2 minimum 4, plus Con bonus

The streak continues. Thanks DM!

No worries. I know the holiday times are a little hectic for everyone. Just hoping everyone will, at least, check in and let me know they're still interested.

I'm here. It's the busy season at work. Leveling up now, and I'll try to get a post in tonight.

1d10 ⇒ 5

My apologies everyone, I was out of town for the holiday and just got home Wednesday night. I ended up bot'ing Amala jus to get things moving.

No problem! I'm hoping she'll be back any minute...

Amala's turn in Round 2. Hope she levelled up as well.

I will continue to 'bot her until she returns.

Please do. Noral, where are you?

Sorry everyone for the delay. I tested positive for covid over the weekend and am just now beginning to feel human again.
I sent a PM to Amala's player to see if they're still interested and will get a post up later today.

Oof, I got my s$$* kicke in by something that made me cough so hard it was like, using my lungs as a punching bag (I can punch pretty hard in real life).

Fellzir casts Cure Disease on Vanulf and Mightypion.

That just might have worked. I've got a new post up and am waiting on a response from Amala's player. If I don't hear anything by Friday I am going to start looking for a replacement. If there's anyone you might know who would be interested, let me know.

Okay, it's Friday now and I haven't heard anything from Amala's player, so I'm going to post for a replacement today.

So weird. Is Noral/Amala gone from the entire site? I didn't check for other posts.

Aurelius, we stab the manticore now, right? I assume it will break the command, but we don't care.

It wastes a turn to approach and gets to act normall on its next turn anyway.

Hello! I heard you were short of one evildoer.

Not quite the front line wall like a antipaladin you lost, but hopefully a good match to the party anyway.

Plays more like a classic rogue with flanking and sneaking etc. with strong focus on demoralizing.

I might make still some minor adjustments to the stats (weapon of choice etc.) and profile picture if I find a better one, but 95% crunch is there.

Backstory was left vague, so it can be adjusted to bring the character to the plot.

Welcome friend! Together we will prevail aginst the despicable Iomedaean proxies of Nocticula, who is certainly behind all of this!

Well met then, thy secret is safe with us Aurelius remarks

Indeed, perhaps not the most in-character thing to reveal the great secret to a bunch of strangers. But I don't want to go with the usual vigilante shenigans. "Oh, I know a guy who can help you... Just wait here, he'll be in a moment. I... uhhh... I remembered I had a urgent meeting in just a minute. See you later, tada!"

Speaking of the loot list, it looks like it hasn't been updated in quite a while. Let me go through the AP this weekend and see what's missing and I'll add it in.

Very generous of you! Thanks.

Aurelius paranoid trait specifically lets him think that every obstacle encountered is the fault of the Abyss/Succubi/his demon grandmother (mid level succubus)/Nocticula herself, who are clearly behind everything, including his socks not being of a matching color.

He also hears voices, but he doesnt know if they are real Demons treating his paranoia as entertainment or just manifestations of his paranoia.

He lost his noble status after it was revealed he was part demon, not part devil, and has a massive chip on is shoulder. The church of Malacoda, Infernal duke of bastards, took him in an trained him into becoming an Omdura.

Unfortunately I didn't have time this weekend to go over the AP or stray loot, so I consolidated everything unclaimed from the first list into a new list.
Loot List

It is also linked on the Campaign Info tab

Would anyone care to give a short summary of the story so far?

I think Aurelius should do that. His take on these times is epic.

DM, did my 19 get all of the info on the wand?

Sorry, I updated it on the loot list but forgot to post it in the thread. It's a wand of shield of faith (CL:1) 33 charges.

Cool wand, thanks.

Shrike, the DM is writing Amala out. Please stay.

Oh, right... I read that as GM pointing the way for us :)
