Book 1 The Dead Roads (Inactive)

Game Master Seldlon the Swift

Can we move the sarcophagus. If we can we could move the sarcophagus to block the crevice.

strength DC 100

oh, is that all.... I thought throwing the piece of the lid it the crack would be good, but since moving the sarcophagus is only one hundred... :)

Well, we'll want to find whoever designed that.
I mean, a Ancient Wyrm couldn't move that thing.
You blow raspberries at him, hide behind it and watch him smash into it like Wile E. Coyote chasing a Roadrunner not realizing he won't be able to break through your cover.

Igar you good if we take a surprise action and roll init?

A surprise round is not possible as they are aware of your presence. I roll initiative at the beginning of each encounter for everyone.

Works for me :)

Good. I expect you to have fun despite my presence.

Ok I have to admit I was in a hurry last night. So I made a few mistakes.

I will never not be amused by the fact that level 1 Pathfinder characters can trivially gigakill themselfs with a single strike.

I will never not be amused by the fact that level 1 Pathfinder characters can trivially gigakill themselfs with a single strike.

Most well-optimized burst characters maintain that capability for a large part of their career.

And how were those famous last words of the wizard? "I'm sure there's something in the rules about not being able to disintegrate yourself, here, I'll proof it."

Most of my Bloordragers have it at level 1, then kind of loose it at 4ish, pick it back up once their iterative happens, and then lose it at level 7 because mirror image.

Ha just found out how to follow this thread on my messages. I wish I knew this sooner.

pray tell, which 'messages' and how do you do that?

I use chrome as my web browser and I use an extension Here. Then you go to the top of the thread in the right hand corner is a orange square click on that and your done. If you need any help just ask. You teach me, I teach you.

hmmmm it didn't let me open the extension, came up "Hmmm… can't reach this page"

Just search for "rss extension chrome " I'm not a pro.

rss makes sense
I use feedbro in firefox

Thanks I'll give it a go in the morning.

Cool, we are at 9,2 ish gameplay posts per day since it started!

Edit: I think I am getting the hang of writing Ardran in a fun way, or at least I hope I do.

"Stabbed it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast." I love that song.

By the way Igar I tried to move my token and I think I messed it up. Sorry

You accidentally reduced your token rather then moving it, I restored its size for you.

I am helpfull am I not?

Also, what should Ardran sing as:

1: Sabaton
2: Attack on Titan Covers
3: One man red army choir

Combinations are totally valid, Long suffering GM gets a vote too!

Hmmm, satisfyingly Morana picked up on the line. But Sadly Ardran, I don't know any of those bands. I will have to go listen to them and get back with you.

I'm a big fan of quality electric guitar work, whether: Jazz, Blues, punk, Rock or metal. Even some Country western (but I've not heard much....). Do you have a recommendation where to start?

Edit: Sabaton's 'to hell and back' is quite fun,

Yellow casts doom on Wulfgar before moving. Will DC 10 negates.

Some how I totally missed this. Sorry about that Igar, I will read better next time.

It looks like that even if I missed the roll the shaken would not have changed the outcome. Should I go ahead and roll it? Doom iss one minute a level.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 ouch

Oh, Sabaton and Sabaton covers yay!

Sabaton gets covered a lot, and also into different languages, which I am to use to the max depending on wether Ardran feels like singing in Common=English or f.e. Abyssal=Russian

For example, English night witches
Russian
Russian version

Tapok (Russian Cover guy) is a pretty fun guy, Sabaton liked his covers enough that they toured with him, and later covered him back. If you ever wanted to know how Nirvana, Linkin Park etc. would sound in Russian (spoiler, pretty good) hes your pick.

I can kind of do the same with Rammstein (German for common and Russian for Abyssal, but then I dont think you guys speak German?).

Attack on Titan isnt a band but a fairly famous Anime, with a pretty good soundtrack.
My favorite cover is probably Epica Crimson bow and arrow from the symphonic metal band Epica.

Although Ardran practically needs alter voice to sing at that height.

I could also play up the tribal aspect and go with Heilung which is a band that literally sings in Norse, Protogermanic etc. and plays on actual bones, but they dont have such an extensive discography.

Just on a side note: I fully expected you guys to check the creatures and room, but as Wulfgar said, I'd expect more of the creatures around, and wanted to cover the likely entrance point.
Was not intended to make you hurry.

Und warum sollten wir kein Deutsch verstehen? Ist doch ne gängige Sprache. Meiner Erfahrung nach zumindest verbreiteter auf dem Bord als z.b. Russisch.

Show off....

Sadly, I only speak English, and that not well. But for what it's worth I have two daughters, one is bilingual, the other trilingual and her master's degree is in teaching English as a second language. So at least my children are doing better than me. And isn't that the hope of all parents?

I hadn't thought about it much, but with a list of Rules commandments, does that make Ardran this guy?

Hej, I am roleplaying my 7 wis!

Hej, I am roleplaying my 7 wis!

ಠ_ಠ

I mean, lets pretend you are Nocticula.
You probably have a bunch of followers from the "relatively low wis relatively high CHA" bracket, who will also be highly chaotic and, opportunistically, at best, attached to reality.

So, in the absence of reality TV, how do you educate your murderhobos into not dying randomly for no reason? Maybe via, mildly humorous commandments, aimed at instilling the fear of being uncool via becoming the reason for another humorous commandment?

I mean, I did watch over teenagers as a sidejob during my studies.

I used the "N commandments", and after I wrote down
"Thee shall not drink denaturated alcohol, if thee cannot sneak booze past me, thee aret unfit to get drunk."
they actually became fairly "obedient for teenagers", as in they pretended to listen to me and I pretended to control them.

Nocticula? Goddess of artists, midnight and exiles? Hmmmm which is Ardran, an artist I assume? As a fine arts major in college and someone who worked eight years on third shift, I'd say I fit two out of three; three out of three if it counts that I've not lived in the state I was born in for fifty-eight years :)

mmmm watch over teenagers, nice.

I spent eight years working at a treatment facility for 'at risk youth,' most of it on third shift. That's when I started to play here on the boards. We could do stuff to occupy ourselves to help stay awake, but anything with sound made it hard to hear if the youths were moving about. So I started reading what was going on in modern Table top RPG's and eventually started playing.

Well, Whimsy is a subdomain :)

He and most of his is actually worshipping her Demon Lord incarnation, but is of the opinion that she is also the redeemer queen.

The specific belief is kind of "I must study murder so my children may study art".

@Disguise: Not sure if you actually CAN take 20 there...

The Disguise check is made secretly, so that you can’t be sure how good the result is.

Taking 20 means you try something over and over until you get it right.

All true, Farod. And why a disguise? I think he is just reinforcing his lack of sanity.

Damn, GM is on to me!

As Ardran pounds the floor beside the wig it animates and moves to him drawing an AoO.

Is that just from Ardran, or everyone?

And here I thought I was just going to create some intra party drama/jokes by destroying some possible loot.

Note, I intended to have the Paranoid drawback, but this game is without drawbacks.

That was technically a surprise round between those two.

It is pretty rare that I have no idea Out of character as of what that was.

both unattended AND non-magical

wtf are you quoting? I have just about had it with this table and the rules.

That statement by me is long overdue. More than ready to end this on my part. It is nothing but frustration which I did not sign up for.

Target description for mage hand, but honestly, I think that is jank.

--RAW you could check if any object weighing less then 5 lbs is actually an object, by trying to move it with mage hand
--And also if any object is magical, by checking if mage hand works on it.

Imho, a critter that looks like an object, and want to bamboozle characters into thinking its an object should be an object, other then maybe for mending.

For reference, i was partly magehanding it so that the statue it was on doesnt fall down on me, which is a reasonable precaution after the shelf a floor down. :).

Exactly as Ardran said:

School transmutation; Level bard 0, magus 0, psychic 0, sorcerer/wizard 0, summoner/unchained summoner 0

CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
EFFECT
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one non-magical, unattended object weighing up to 5 lbs.

That's what I'm quoting.

So Sad, the point is for all of us to be having fun.

But, if the game is that frustrating this early on, maybe we should end it now instead of later.

Well, Wulfgar, I seem to have been the trouble-maker this time around.
But I certainly did not intend to offend.

But same as Wulfgar, and especially for a RAW game, I feel it is imperative to understand GM interpretation of aspects - and that only comes with (annoying) questions.
I am not certain just interpreting or assuming would be preferable in the long run.
Either way, my apologies for causing frustration. That said, we should all have fun. If that is not the case, then we missed the goal post. So as he said, if this table is nothing but trouble for you - well...

Spell warrior 1 (combat reflexes, Bodyguard)
Spell warrior 2
Spiritualist (fractured mind) 1 (Phantom Ally)
Spell warrior 3 (Rage power Fiend totem lesser, Ability score increase to CHA)
Spell warrior 4
Spell warrior 5 (Lingering performance)
Fractured mind 2 (effective phantom level =6)
Fractured mind 3 (effective Phantom level =7) Force of personality

Fractured mind 2 (effective phantom level =6) <====LEVEL 2!

Farod, just in the right place at the wrong time. The straw that broke the camel's back. LOL.

That's why I take medication.

LOL. That is why I take Kentucky Bourbon.

Your phantom level is always equal to your spiritualist level.

I believe I can solve that one - he intends to pick up the Feat Phantom Ally - I think at Level 3 - that would push his effective fractured mind level to the listed numbers for the phantom.

It's basically Boon Companion for Phantoms.

Farod, just in the right place at the wrong time. The straw that broke the camel's back. LOL.

No worries. But is the amount of Bourbon you can safely digest sufficient for the game, or not?
