Legacy of Fire: Module 3: The Jackal’s Price

Game Master BloodWolven

My posting may be slow for a couple of days, I still intend to check the boards a couple of times a day, but I'm not living at the computer. Don't wait for me to make the decisions and if we get in combat bot me if needed.

Both my wife and mom have come down with covid. My mom (86) was almost unresponsive so we called the squad, she's at the hospital. I'll end up being there a bit and taking care of my wife, thus not at the computer as much as usual and I hate posting on my phone.

Maybe focus your energy on the issues at hand? Take care of them, they need you. This will be here, we will be here. All the best to you & your family.

Are we all ready to move on to the island?

Knowledge (dungeoneering) to identify normal flint, sure.
I believe it would be a K (arcana) check.

There is plenty of rocks on the island and find some flint as you wander along. A few pieces here, a few there...

Does flint come in veins of ore?

Ore is usually rock with metal in it, Flint is found in chalk or limestone.

Thank you!

Sorry folks this week has been exhausting...

FRIENDLY REMINDER
Paizo forums will be down all of Saturday, February 3rd. So get your posts in before midnight on February 2nd!

Or very early saturday morning :)

Being in the midwest instead of the west coast I got away with it last week.

It looks like one of the shadow beasts hit me, maybe. He has an 80% miss chance with my 4 mirror images. Fingers crossed.

Hey GM Muhaffma! I didn't connect the dots until you posted here in discussion. I was going to jump into your 'Ironfang' recruitment and congratulate you on finally finding a home for Brighberry, but I didn't want to clutter up your recruitment thread. Good luck with the game!

Oh, thanks! And I hate it when I do that, lol. I wish I could set a default alias for each game rather than for everything. I post as the wrong person too often.

yeah, well, you're not the only one whose done it and at least it was in discussion where it makes a little sense, instead of in the game thread...

I don't reveal which check which is needed, you make a check and see where it leads you. You may also make two knowledge checks for a swift action, three for a move, four for a standard, and five for a full round action.

That doesn't make any sense to me, either a character would recognize the creature based on the mechanics of a knowledge checks. It wouldn't be: Gosh is it a mammal, nope. Maybe it's a reptile, nope. Maybe it's a bird, nope....

Either a character would know or wouldn't. Knowledge checks don't take an action, so he should be able to do every single trained knowledge check in that split second and use his bane if able. If not the bane (a main part of the class) becomes useless.

Then roll all the checks for yourself!

80% miss chance, low it hits1d100 ⇒ 43
One image gone.

Woohoo! Saved my bacon. Goal #1 complete.

So guess which knowledge check, or roll eight knowledge checks because you want me to guess what sort of creature it is based on the description of

"As the shadows disperse you see muscular canines which have a maw full of sharp teeth and an inky black coat that almost seems to drink in the light around it. Each of them have some kind of shadow decoration, a wreath, a halo, horns, or of the like.

I have an easier solution:

Because of the situation taking care of my mom, I've decided to step away from some of the games I'm in. I believe it would be easier to step away from this game, and focus on ones I'm more comfortable with the pace and style. GM Wolf, thank you for running the game and giving me a chance to play. Please place Ala'Ihys under the previous players list. Thank you.

Let me know if you think I should down scale the NPCs.

Bahram will miss you, Ala'lhys. We hadn't even connected yet.

Without a map, I'm not sure where to go. I would like to move away from the fiery aura singing me, and I would also like to flank if possible. Is there a spot I can do that without incurring an AoO?

Map updated!

You could move as a full retreat to only take one AoO.

Do I need to do the round by round recap? Right now it is just the Bahram and Aukan show.

If you want to just let us know whose turn it is and update as we go along, that should be fine.

Covid fog is a serious thing! Well here is to being back and finally healthy!!!

Bahram I am looking for your round 10 action!
Davod round 11?

All right guys. I'm sorry to say this, but Bahram will need to retire from this game. I haven't the time or focus for pbp right now. Thanks for inviting me into this game and I wish you luck, David.

Well that is a bummer! I am really sorry to see you go!

Davod it looks like we put out another recruitment or keep it just to us?

Looks at current character roster.
"Gods! It's just us! By the 9 Hells!?!"

If we get more players, great. If not, more wishes for Davod!

And I was just about ready to grant, Bahram al-Urgug "Jack", the sublime template!

So the campaign's on hold until we get more players?

Well that is up to you. We could easily find the crystal prison beyond the guard dogs.

Apparently everyone has dropped out! I am going to invite Stratton and Jean! We can make it work!

I am totally open to keeping it high powered or devolving the situation, I just would like some more players to be involved.... when in doubt it will just be us. Which can work.

I think the campaign is just getting good! You've been more active and progressing the story in ways I didn't forsee! Keep it high-powered. For one thing, I've never had a character encounter a nymph before! This is uncharted territory!!

I ended up being busier today then I thought I would be.

Is Davod meant to be a frontline character?

FU<K no!!! Davod is a sneaky thief. Backstab stab stab!!!

I AM the Frontline character! I welcome any help but I am used to doing it alone; Cleave and all.

I haven't been changed yet, just drained and exhausted. Wishes daily for everyone!!! 5/day unless I need to be nerfed.

Cha 17, but str 35... yeah just a wish toting melee smasher.

I can't wait to gestalt... 1st level: ... IDK!

Backup fire cleric here, nothing special.

The not as pretty one! Charisma of 43!!!

Stabby mack Stabberston here! We would love to have another rogue to flank with or any class really.

Slayer 2/Sorcerer 1/Monk of the Scaled Fist 1

Stab... die!
Vanish... now you see me, now you don't!
Can't touch this! @$$

Charisma of a 40!

Roper checking in, a unique monster with a name!

That's it for the NPC line up. You are welcome to bring in any class. We were mostly a martial class team with a bit of support healing.

I am tempted to do either a Zen Archer (Monk) or a Kensai Magus. I am thinking I will do the monk if there is no preference. I probably will be able to get it all together Monday.

Both sound awesome! I can't wait!

How would you like to be brought into the campaign? We are exploring a magical 'prison' you could easily have been trapped here as well!

This is Jean.

So random question, I was looking at what account to use and saw Kazko from a previous game you ran. Could I bring Kazko in? Playing a Cave Troll sounds like silly fun.

I would need to change the gestalt to a level 2 barbarian instead to reach the 6 hit dice. If not, I will go with an Oread Zen Archer. I have that build pretty much finished but I had the random desire about asking to bring in my old version of Kazko before I overwrote him with a zen archer.

Hit Points if I am the Zen Archer: 5d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 2, 8) = 24

Sure sounds good! Bring Kazko in!

Your choice!

Awesome! So I will reduce him to Barb 2 now.

Do you want to keep the backstory and have him get sucked into another new dimension and wind up wandering the prison or should I redo the backstory to fit the AP?

Kazko should be good to go, depending on the backstory question. I reduced gold to below 16K and fixed everything to be a non-gestalt barbarian.

Background question: both sound good, you choose!

I think keeping the current background of bouncing from dimension to dimension sounds fun. Let me know when I should pop in then.

Break free from an ice prison and join in on the fight! Round 3

We are not using a map right now.
