Hey, sorry for going radio silent this weekend. I've been dealing with a recruitment (trying to narrow down 32 submissions to 6 and there are a lot of really, really good ones in there) and a bout of depression-induced apathy. I'll get a post up tomorrow.
Ah, I know about those bouts. They suck. Hope for brighter days for you soon
Yep they do, on the bright side, I'm getting better and recognizing when I'm falling into them so I can work on getting myself out of them more quickly.
On the plus side, I think I'm out of the worst of it now and I'm all caught up with the games I'm in.
Huzzah!
Heads up, I'll be out of town next Friday for work. I won't have time to post most of the day.
Except they keep missing! I think Casina is the only one that's hit him while prone and that's because he tried to stand up.
Funnily enough, he's going to fall flat on his arse again if he, by some miracle, survives the AoOs.
And with Asar dead, welcome to Level 3! As I said, we're almost done with Crypt of the Everflame. After we wrap up the module, I wanted to do some vignettes. Mostly just having fun with RP.
Remember, for HP we're doing better of roll or average rounded up.
Averages rounded up:
d6 = 4
d8 = 5
d10 = 6
d12 = 7
Assuming this also applies to me.
So 6 + 8.
so five either way ;)
(5+1 (con) +1 (Favored class)
EDIT: In addition, we have second level spells!
a +1 to Reflex saves
Skills : 1 point on Fly, 1 point on Heal, 2 points on Knowledge Nature, 1 on Perception/Background skills include boosted Crafting Sculpture for wood, and Profession Woodcutter because he was.
Feat: Combat Casting
Assuming this also applies to me.
[dice=HP]2d10
So 6 + 8.
That it does. :)
It's Christmas! I love the Level Up holiday!
6 it is.
Maidie is fully updated to level 3.
+1 wizard level
+5 hp
Feat: Augmented Summoning
Free spells added to spellbook: Create pit + Summon Monster II
Don't worry, there'll be some goodies. I just need to update the loot sheet.
In the meantime, I figure for consistency's sake, I should mention that this is how I normally handle the statline for my characters.
HP: X/X | AC: Full/Touch/Flatfooted (Shield AC: Full/Touch/Flatfooted)| Resistances & DR | F +0, R +0, W +0 (Conditional Modifiers)| Per: +0 (Senses, Darkvision, Low-light Vision, Etc.), Init: +0 |
(Spell slots) | (Limited Use Abilities) | (Consumables) | (Ammunition) | Hero Points: 0 | Status:
Gender Race Class Level |
This is a pretty good example of how it gets used, though it is on the complicated side (oddball build and all that.)
Just a note that Status is meant to be for things like being grappled, prone, confused, fighting defensively, etc. Basically, if it's a condition and you have it, put it there.
Since we don't have any spontaneous casters, I don't think anyone has to worry about the spell slots part, but I would appreciate it if you included a spells prepared spoiler in your character's profile.
Other than that, everyone should have 3 Hero Points, except Grob who got one for making me laugh like a madman, so he should have 4. I don't remember if anyone's used any, so if you have, just consider it a story reward.
Sorry if this is a bit scatter-brained. I'm trying to make sure I've got all my bases covered.
Choosing a feat is taking me some time. I'll have Moon fully updated either later today or tomorrow.

+6 HP, FT: Forest, Free Feat: Endurance, +1 BAB
Class + ABP = +1 Reflex, +1 Fort, +2 Will
3rd lv Feat: Diehard

8 skill points
K:Arcana, K:Local, K:Planes, Perception, Spellcraft

Maidie's profile is updated to display the stats as requested (consumables, ammo and spells excluded to avoid clutter).
Also, she now speaks Terran thanks to a new rank in linguistics.
In addition the the wand of burning hands, Maidie has claimed the mithral dagger, since noone else seemed to want it. We can sell it, if everyone would prefer cash instead. She is also carrying the Razmiran mask.
I'm re-allocating a bg skill point. Maidie reminded me of something I planned to do and totally forgot about in the excitement.

Just as long as we remember that Maidie and Betz learned Goblin before all the cool kids were doing it :-)
They are trend-setters!
Moon's use of goblin will be limited to what her victims were screaming as they died. :D
OKay, so I need to focus on some stuff for work. I hope y'all are alright with me pausing for a week until I can put in some time for wrapping this up.
Erigga, I've got an idea for how to introduce you to the others. I'll be shooting you a message on Discord.
Cool for me! :)
No worries. We can RP.
No worries. We can RP.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
”Where are Moon and Grobradon? And why is there a sock on the door to the chamber with the healing grove?”
All good, Adam.
If the crypts a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'!
Hi all! I'm not sure if Salsa mentioned me or not, but he very gracious invited me to hop for the next part of the campaign as well. I've had a crazy busy weekend, and today is a super busy day at work, but tonight or tomorrow I'll be putting together a gnomish bard to join you. Looking forward to playing with you all!
So we'll be a human, half-orc, half-elf, dwarf, halfling and gnome. A very eclectic party for sure!
Anyways, I'm eager to join the RP as well!
We divide treasure by height in this party, right?
;)
I'm trying to work on my crunch right now (in between distractions, like work) and I had a couple questions. In the initial post, Pathfinder Unchained is listed as an acceptable source- does that mean that Variant Multiclassing is allowed?
Are there any knowledge skills (or skills in general) that the party is lacking that might be helpful to have?
And, while I'm here...
So, 5 (average rounded up) at 2nd, and 6 (rolled) at 3rd.
VMC is a-okay with me.
Not sure on knowledge skills. I'll check if I have some time this evening.
I ended up having to take my SO to the dr (and discovered they have long haul Covid), so I wasn’t able to make as much progress on my character as expected. I think I’ll probably be able to finish tomorrow though (hopefully).
Absolutely no worries, Giant Halfling. Seems like everyone are taking a breather after our glorious victory anyway.
Hope your partner feels better.
Thanks, the medicine seems to be helping her.
I haven't quite managed to get any fluff written up but my crunch should be pretty well set (aside from maybe picking up some potions/scrolls, or something cheap, like an anytool).
Welcome to the Kassen Club! =)
@Ethulfel: (Wow, that name is going to be weird to type) Are you planning on being a resident of Kassen? If not, where are you from?
Lol- You can call me Eth, if that helps?
I was about to try to type up some background but I was picturing him having grown up just outside of Kassen, to the west, on the edge of the Fangwood, if that's alright? He was a gregarious child and would have played with whatever wildlife would tolerate his presence (an endeavor made easier by his racial ability to cast speak with animals 1/day), but also would have taken advantage of every opportunity available to head into town and interact with people there. Then as a young adult he would have traveled down to Tamran and spent a few years there training/studying at the Ashfall Lodge, and possibly doing a mission or two for the Society. I thought maybe he just returned to Kassen after the rest of the party left for the Crypt (which was why he missed everything).
Does that all sound alright? (I'll actually wait to write anything for real, rather than risk having to rework it)
Sounds fine to me.
Cool. I actually have an irl game today, so I might not get anything more posted today but hopefully I’ll be able to do it tomorrow.
Eth, just wondering, but are you planning on being from Kassen or somewhere else? I just need to know so I can figure out how to introduce you.

Sorry, I thought I already answered that (Thursday maybe?). I hit a bit of writers block when I tried to do his background over the weekend, but here’s the 10 minute background for him (including his origin).
5 background and concept elements
1. Ethulfel is friendly and helpful- a support character with good social skills, a variety of knowledge, and some spells that can be used for creative problem solving
2. He grew up with his family in a cozy homestead on the edge of the Fangwood (just west of Kassen) He spent a lot of time playing with local animals, especially the wild cats his family kept around to take care of rabbits, squirrels, and other critters that would steal from the garden. He also took every opportunity he could to head into town and interact with people there, including young Talliree Yndercook whom he considered his best friend.
3. As a young adult, he tried studying under both Holgast and Moltas Vardigan, but did not fare well with either teacher. He did learn some from Talliree, but his own curiosity (and desire to interact with others) far outreached hers. At her suggestion, and shortly before Jocyn arrived in Kassen, he traveled to Tamran to seek a mentor there. He found one in Pelius Crispin, a bard in the service of the local Pathfinder lodge.
4. He’s just over three feet tall with wild, turquoise hair and a burgundy, velvet vest that he wears over anything else he might have on, including his chainshirt. He also wears a wide straw hat that gives him the stature of a giant mushroom.
5. He’s gregarious, and friendly to a fault. He’s learned to be quite good at recognizing falsehoods, but he tries to help anyone he can, even if they’re not completely honest with him, as long as there doesn’t seem to be any harm in it.
Two goals for the character.
1. Ethulfel has done a few ‘side jobs’ for the Ashfall Lodge but not yet proven himself worthy of being recognized as an agent; he hopes to change that.
2. Having only recently arrived back in Kassen, he’s not yet aware of Talliree’s condition… I think it would be great if he could figure out some way to help her?
Two secrets about the character
1. He was involved in a romantic relationship in Tamran with Orellia, a half-elven transmuter whose ability to cast spells like reduce/enlarge person was helpful in the bedroom, but he began to grow uncomfortable with her increasingly creative uses of alter self; he told her he needed to return to Kassen to check on his sick mother, but really he wanted some time apart to think about their relationship.
2. Unbeknownst to him, his mother is actually sick, having entered the early stages of the bleaching.
Three people that are tied to the character
1. Although he has not seen her in 4 or 5 years, he is still very fond of Talliree Yndercook (and I’m hoping/planning on her still very much seeing him as a friend, if that’s alright).
2. He remains on good terms with Pelius Crispin, the Pathfinder Agent who trained him in rhetoric and languages, broadened his knowledge, and taught him the power of performance.
3. Several months ago he made a humiliating joke at the expense of a weaselly lumber agent named Oran Dundrick who sometimes does business in Kassen and would relish some measure of revenge.
Three memories, mannerisms, or quirks
1. One of his fondest childhood memories is of being in town while his mother was at the market, telling the story of an adventure he went on with a bobcat cub he befriended in the forest to an evergrowing crowd of delighted other children.
2. Until given reason to do otherwise, he treats all people like old friends.
3. He treats all cats (including cougars and bobcats) like most people would treat a house cat.
Bit of a cross post but I edited
Thanks! So I'm guessing Eth has already done the Quest for the Everflame. If you want, since you're already in town, we can say you're at the banquet and you run into Meep just before Maidie comes to get her.
Erigga, I'll get a post up setting the scene for something for you while we wrap up the celebration and debriefing. You'll be escorting a Pathfinder named Dalen Stonestep, a young ranger sent to investigate some rumors about lost artefacts in the Fangwood.
I wasn’t planning on having done the quest before, since my training mostly all took place after I left, but I suppose I could have if that’s helpful for getting me in? I do also have ties to the Pathfinder Society, so I could have arrived with Dalen if he came from the lodge in Tamran?

Okay, in that case, you and Erigga would be on the barge together. You'll be arriving in Kassen a bit after the festivities then. You and Dalen have been asked to check up on some rumors of lost artefacts in the area by the local Pathfinder lodge. Pellius Crispin has arranged for you to be accepted as a full-fledged Pathfinder if things go well.
As for the quest, it was more of a rite of passage kind of thing. Up to you if you'd have done it or not.
