Yeah, that is not going to work. Let me delete that, lol.
Tech level really needs to be at the start.
Dude, have you had some coffee yet?....ViridistanAt 8 am? And Viridistan? This is not the Wilderlands. This is the Lost Lands. No Viridistan here. How about...
Cool, the recruitment said And the mightylords of Viridistan and the City State would pay handsomely to have the most direct trading route to the Holy Cities restored. But I couldn't find Viridistan on the map anywhere, I was so confused.
Thank you, I feel better now :)
Oops, Kara is supposed to be doing the reading for me as I am now half-blind lol! My bad for not proofreading first day back. Yes, this module was written for the Wilderlands. I switched to the Scarred Lands and now the Lost Lands the last 10+ years or so. The World of The Lost Lands
is available from Frog God for those that are interested.
Viridistan is aka the City State of the World Emperor. Cirilla has been there, they ran her out of town firing some strange red tipped arrows at her!
It's cool, been digging a little to see what I can find. Frog God Games has some nice info available, but it's just a little, to get the good stuff you have to become a member.
For instance, I learned our map is portion of the eastern and central regions of Libynos, it looks like one hex is 50 miiles.
Also that Mitra is part of the Gohtra pantheon: The Twelve Who Sit on The Thirteen Thrones, originally from the land of Jaati.
The information on Jaati required a memebership but I found:
The Jaata are native to the lands of far northeastern Libynos. Despite its location at a high northern latitude, Jaati is kept warm by the waters of the Great Eastern Current, along with the odd effects of the Tropic of Arden. Most Jaata live in coastal cities or villages that line the many rivers of the region, while much of the interior is sparsely populated.
Among the shortest of humankind, the Jaata also tend to be slender, though they still can be quite strong, which often surprises those not familiar with their people. They have skin color that ranges from the golden-brown of sandalwood to deep browns of rosewood or walnut, with eyes that are almost always black, and black hair that is usually fine and straight. Women usually grow their hair long and braid or wrap it, while men seldom grow hair past their shoulders but cultivate their beards carefully. Usually fine-featured and graceful, the Jaata are considered by many outsiders to be the handsomest people in the world.
Jaata often wear clothes of colorful silk, along with jewelry of gold and silver. Such jewelry is a symbol of status but also a way to carry one’s wealth, so most people wear some all the time and even more on special occasions.
The Jaata trade widely and form enclaves in many large cities. One of the largest is in Shabbis, and a large population even lives as far as Castorhage in Akados. They speak Meeruwhan. The Jaata are believed to be distantly related to the Gtsang of western Akados, who are said to have migrated from Jaati thousands of years ago.
Not that it matters much, but what city/town are we starting in and is Mitra’s Fist one of the holy cities, or just where we'll end up?
If it's a plot twist, don't worry about it.
Also, just for my own visual, would actual plate armor be available or have we combined enough pieces of armor to equal plate? (again not asking for mechanical purposes, just visual)
@ Slim Jim The " messes up formatting, lol. Combat Reflexes is a bonus feat, so you can still have great fort. Also, you have 2 skill points remaining by my count. I show you over 7.5 lbs even without your money. It has to be carried somehow. If you buy a handy haversack it will take care of the problem.
There's somebody else called SlimJim on the forums apparently. Re Combat Reflexes, thank you, I was getting a little worried about the fort save.
Re skill points, according to herolab I've spent 31. Swashbucklers get 4+int+1 (human bonus) = 5 per level. So 6*5 = 30. The extra one comes from human FCB. (I put 1 FBC into hit points, 1 into skill points and 4 into 1/4 panache)
I have a handy haversack marked down on the character sheet.
@Ratel You know where you are and where you are supposed to be going, sort of and that is all.
I said I was going to allow the full plate.
Spells selected. I took endure elements x3. That should cover me, Ratel, and Slim Jim. Sigrid and Thoron the dwarf should be able to cast it themselves.
Hey, I caught the 'rona and I've been sick. I'll try to catch up tonight
To say nothing about the fact we have been w/o internet for three days. Stuck working with data from our phones, no wifi. Going back to Spectrum tomorrow. Google fiber sucks for service and reliability. They contracted out to bury their fiber 8" deep when standard is 18" for streets so every time their is road work it cuts their lines.
Ugh! That must be so frustrating.

"Hatred and vengeance blinded me ... But I shall stand before them in humility. I shall remember the expression in their eyes. I hope the memory of those eyes will stop me making a similar mistake."
Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, known as Ciri, the Lady of Time and Space and princess of Cintra, She is the lion cub of Cintra, daughter of Pavetta and Duny (also known as the Urcheon of Erlenwald) and granddaughter of Queen Calanthe. She is also Geralt's destiny and adopted daughter. Ciri is a descendant of Lara Dorren and has the Elder Elven blood which gives her access to powers that allow her to cross space and time.
Ciri was trained under the watchful eyes of Geralt, Coën, Vesemir, Lambert, Eskel, and Triss while at Kaer Morhen and became talented with a sword. Later, she trained as a sorceress while living with Yennefer at Ellander. After the Thanedd coup, Ciri became separated from Geralt, created an unstable portal, and going through it found herself in the Korath desert. After her time in the desert, she joined a gang called the Rats, but then got herself captured by a bounty hunter named Leo Bonhart and was forced to fight in an arena. She later escaped and fled to the world of Aen Elle. During her time with the Aen Elle, she was going to be forced to procreate with the King, although she was able to avoid this. She later escaped from that world and after traveling through time was reunited with Geralt and Yen. She travelled with them for a few months before their untimely deaths. Her sword named Zireael is a 200 year old gwyhyr, a very expensive and precious sword regarded as the best in the world, forged by the gnomes of Tir Tochair. It was given to her as a gift by Esterhazy, the armorer and swordsmith in the town of Fano.
In the end of the adventure, after Geralt and Yennefer's deaths, Ciri finds herself in the world of Camelot where she meets young Galahad; a knight, with whom she supposedly falls in love. Now they have come her to deal with a great evil.

Abilities - Magic of Elder blood gene. Swordsmanship
Elder blood, also known as Hen Ichaer or Lara gene, is considered to be the blood/genes in Lara Dorren's descendants who carry powerful magic.
While there were those who extensively studied and even went so far as to control who did and didn't have children to continue the line, it turned out they had made several flaws in their research. For one, they hadn't realized they'd only been tracking one type of the gene, the main elder blood, when there was a latent gene and a "pseudo-gene" called an activator (meaning the person had no magical power from the elder blood but was a carrier of the gene). While the latent gene and activator could die out in 2-3 generations, particularly if they were all male descendants, if it met up again with another carrier, a resulting child could end up with the main gene, like Calanthe.[1]
Furthermore, the researchers had only kept track of "official" or known children of carriers. For this reason they were able to keep track of Amavet's illegitimate children, like Muriel, but had unfortunately lost sight of any possible premarital or extramarital children. Thus, they only assumed Ciri was the sole inheritor of the elder blood when there could actually be others out there with the same trait.
Interesting to note, it was revealed that the main elder blood gene only appeared in the female line while the male line could only be activators and latent.
Elder Blood
A genetic program initiated by elven mages (known as sages) for the purpose of creating an extraordinarily gifted child whose power would exceed their own. According to the prophecy of the elven diviner Ithlinne, the Child of Elder Blood will one day save the elves from annihilation. However, the last carrier of Aen Hen Ichaer, Lara Dorren aep Shiadhal, bonded with a human instead of an elf, thus shattering all plans regarding her offspring.
According to some, it is a powerful elven curse passed from generation to generation. Those in whose veins the infamous Hen Ichaer flows are said to carry death and destruction within them, to sow hatred and disdain in the hearts of men. It was from this contaminated blood that Ithlinne prophesied an avenger would be born, a destroyer of nations and worlds.
Others claim the Elder Blood is an extremely rare inherited talent, granting control

I wonder which spells would make the best Witcher signs? Mind you Zirael mostly moves really fast, likely has the dimensional agility feat chain. Brew potion might be thematic as a proxy for the mutagens.
Brvheart have you tried AT&T fiber?
Negative, we can only get regular AT&T here and 75 Mps is way too inadequate. I am back online with gigabyte Spectrum.

No, not from my phone and my computer is blocking signing in, so I can read only on piazo with my desktop due to security policies but my phone doesn't get the edit button.
GM do you want all of us to roll initiative or just Sigrid?
@ Ciri - on my iPhone I have to scroll to the right to find the edit button in my profiles.
I think Sigrid should be able to handle it, if not she can call out for help.
Sounds good. Thanks.

I Don't know how to figure that out as I pulled them from the d20 website
Thrill-Seeker Same issue on source.
I said you could have the weapon blanches, but as they are Pathfinder Society only that will be it for them.
I had asked about this on Monday:
you didn't add the mithril chain shirt +1 to her AC.
How is the following trait?
Thrill-Seeker
Once per day, when you attempt an Acrobatics check, you can roll twice and take the better result. You must choose to use this ability before making the check.
I'm not sure how to avoid the egg shells anymore
It mentions the source in the copyright notice at the bottom of the page in d20pfsrd.com. The source is probably more obvious from the archives of nethys page.
If you just want to see what is available with the permitted sources using this page seems good, since you can easily select which sources it includes.

This is so very useful. Thanks Slim :)
D20pfsrd is a great site but it pulls from everywhere. At the bottom of each spell, etc is the section 15 information that lists the source:
Section 15: Copyright Notice
Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Gods © 2014, Paizo Publishing, LLC; Authors: Sean K Reynolds, with Amanda Hamon, James Jacobs, John Ling, Mark Moreland, David N. Ross, F. Wesley Schneider, Amber E. Scott, Tork Shaw, James L. Sutter, Jerome Virnich.
Archives of Nethys actually gives a different source. I don't trust it as well as a source.
Archives of Nethys is usually correct in my experience, they have some deal with Paizo and are allowed to use golorion specific names (e.g. the proper names of various spells and artefacts) were d20pdsrd is not.
D20PDSRD has way better search engine optimisation though and usually appears first in searches.
Anyway neither is a substitute for a physical book.
Re the combat with the spider are we all aware and able to roll initiative?
Can anyone suggest a decent Trait for my character? I'm having trouble with the filter
character update attached otherwise
How about
Fate’s Favored
The fates watch over you.
Benefit: Whenever you are under the effect of a luck bonus of any kind, that bonus increases by 1.
Yes that's an excellent choice for a warpriest due to divine favour.
oh, I meant to ask.
Slavery in this world/region. How is it thought of? Is it legal? Do they have rights like they did in Rome?
Slaves didn't have a lot of rights in Ancient Rome. They could be killed at their master's will from what I remember. If you killed one all you had to do was to pay their master their going price for the slave, if you were a citizen.
Depends on the time frame. After the Spartacus revolution, and the romans had more slaves than citizens, Citizens could be tryed for the murder of a slave. The educated slaves could earn money to purchase their freedom. All with the thought that the slaves wouldn't rise up and slaughter citizens again.
My thought was to use my remaining funds to buy a slave scribe (and horse) who could write a story. A story for the current adventure that would be submitted to the church for a possible addition to The Psalms of Freya
I am not sure that Freya would look kindly on the purchase of a slave. I would prefer personally that you hired a scribe. As it is for temple, you could probably get an acolyte to do it for bed and board.

Being an outcast and looking for a way into respect, I wasn't aware that was available. I'd gladly buy a horse and board for him/her. I'd even pose for charcoal renderings.
Would you generate an NPC for me?
Sure, I will have one ready tomorrow.

hmmmm you sure you don't want me to put together a rogue? Or a trapper Ranger, their from 'ultimate magic.'
Nope, still would rather have you be a paladin. Maybe someone can take a level of rogue at next level or something. Like my brother used to say
"I ain't worried!" Something will turn up, I am sure.
But as we are no longer waiting on the rogue, I had planned on running a few random encounters along the way to give you some xp going in, but we can fast forward to Mitra's Fist whenever everyone wants.
Guess I'll stop working on an elf (desert runner) ranger/trapper...
I'm good to head to 'Mitra's Fist'
