Caverns of Azlantia

Game Master Dread

Apologies on the delay. I'm not ignoring this or losing interest. Just got hit with a couple days of mandatory overtime at work. Crunch and combat summary for Rhaeodlaf coming in the next day or so.

Here are my entries. Claiming the wand (if that's ok)

750 Wand of Cure Light Wounds
350 Mwk Breast Plate
305 Mwk Longspear
300 Potion of Invisibility
200 Holy Water x4, Antitoxin x2
200 Healer's kit x2; Magnifying glass
100 Self filling water jug (Create water)
45gp 6sp Morningstar, Large Steel Shield, Dagger x2, Backpack, Bedroll, Belt pouch, Crowbar, Fling & Steel, Hammer, Trail rations x10, Hemp rope, Sewing needle, Soap, Waterskin

Money left: 749gp 4sp

Name Urtar Rockburst AC:16 (T:10/FF:16) CMD:15 HP: 24/24 SAVES: FO:3 RE:1 WL:6
3rd level cleric M Oread

Specials:Aura (NG) Defenses: More AC given active spells or if wearing shield

note: Looking at others purchases, I know at least 2 (Gideon and Arronus) pitched in for the cure light wand...and as thats not over the '1000 gp, you can still purchase either a wand 1000 or over or a piece of jewelry over...and you have 749+250 = 999 4sp. If others kick in anything, youll be over the 1000 needed. or you could get a misc magic item under the 1000gold

Apologies on the delay. I'm not ignoring this or losing interest. Just got hit with a couple days of mandatory overtime at work. Crunch and combat summary for Rhaeodlaf coming in the next day or so.

I understand.

while we wait, Ill need everyone to roll one of these three.

1. A Knowledge History Check
2. A Gather Information Roll (diplomacy)
3. A Knowledge Local check

or if you have none of those you can roll

a single d20

Guess I'll go first, lets see if dice bot is kind.

Kn: Local: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Ahh well.

Diplomacy to Gather Information: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

K Local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Ok, I am assuming this is gathering information during downtime, so I will spend mental focus... (also, it makes a nice demonstration of the kind of skill games I can play.)

1) Arronus Uses Soulbound Puppet to summon a temporary familiar...

K Local, Aid Another, take 10, Arronus: 10 + 2 = 12 vs dc 10
+2 int

K Local, Familiar A: 1d20 + 2 - 1 + 1 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 1 + 1 + 8 + 2 = 21
2 ranks -1 int +1 sage's knowledge +8 racial +2 aid another

K History, Aid Another, take 10, Familiar A: 10 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 11 vs dc 10
1 rank -1 int +1 sage's knowledge

K Hist, Arronus: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 11
3 ranks +3 trained +2 int +2 aid another

2) Arronus uses Soulbound Puppet to summon a familiar.

Diplomacy, Aid Another, take 10, Arronus: 10 - 1 + 3 = 12 vs dc 10
-1 cha +3 familiar bonus

Diplomacy, Gather information, Familiar B: 1d20 - 1 + 2 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (8) - 1 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 19
-1 cha + 2 persuasive +2 aid another+8 racial

So…. Your thrushes are better than any of us on those skills? :P

And the Soulbound Puppet, when you summon it, it can come with any skill? Say… Any Knowledge skill for a thrush? Diplomacy? Intimidate? Any ‘social’ skill? Or also other skills?

And let me see if I am understanding correctly - you are aiding the thrush, and then the thrush is aiding you? Is that it?

Are you planning on leaving any skills for the rest of us? Just curious :D

Guess I'll go first, lets see if dice bot is kind.

[dice=Kn: Local]1d20+8

Ahh well.

Dr. Ocellus knows the following rumor

[dice=Diplomacy to Gather Information]d20+7

Tessai has heard

[dice=K Local]1d20+5

Arronus has heard

Need Arronus and Urktar to let me know about a major magic item. Did anyone else kick in any money for the cure light wand? or Urktar did you want t0 choose a lesser magic item?

Major Magic items:
1 character can have a magic weapon- Gideon
1 character can have magical armor- Tessai
1 character can have a magical ring or bracers- Dr. Ocellus
1 character can have a magic wand ?
1 character can have a magical piece of clothing- Rhaeodlaf
1 character can have a magical piece of jewelry (necklace etc) ?

I have Combat Summaries from
Need them for Rhaeodlaf, Urktar, and Arronus

Urktar and Rhaeodlaf can still roll for rumors.

and finally each of you get to choose your Motivation.

Theres a room associated with your motivation. Arriving in the room, will trigger a mythic tier advancement as a perk.

Theres a room at least on each level. some have multiple. and because theres so many ups and downs and twists and turns, with only 1 exception, you guys can run into any room at any time.

There are 8 motivations for coming to Caverns of Azlantia. Each player will choose 1. Tied to each will be a location within the 'dungeon' that helps satisfy the motivation. Arriving at that location will award a mythic tier for that character. Only the DM will know the location. Some characters will gain it earlier than others. But each has the capability of gaining it.
The Agent: whether The Pathfinders, The Aspis Consortium, A church, a pirate ship or any organization or nation, you are tasked to enter the caverns ffor something specific. The Oracular Skull. Find it. If possible bring it back.[Rm77]

The Bandit: you are on the run and seeking enough treasure to change your future. [Rm90]

The Explorer: you've stumbled on information regarding the location of an ancient city of The Azlanti. You just need proof. [Rm63]

The Expert: it is rumored the Azlanti had discoveted technologies far beyond what is currently known, oh what could be done bringing some of that out to the world[RM135]

The Guide: you've lead many a group into the jungles but this time there's something personal in it for you. [RM31]

The Hunter: there's rumors that there are things older than anyone has ever seen in the depths of Azlantia, oh to see it. [RM106]

The Historian: improving your knowledge of the past is all that truly matters.[RM52]

The Mercenary: Opportunities arise how can this foray be exploited? [RM28]

Once everyone has completed each of these, Im ready to roll.

Gideon is pretty much Mercenary. His motto is "Fortune and Glory".

Here are my entries. Claiming the wand (if that's ok)

Hi GM, you find my choices and summary here.

don't have those skills: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Urtar is definitely the Hunter.

For Tessai, I think the only one which applies is The Hunter.

Urktar in advance of going, found a source that taught him ancient Azlanti.

Well I guess theres no reason two of you cant have the same one.

DocOcc is somewhere between Historian & Expert, I'm going to go with Historian here.

Urktar in advance of going, found a source that taught him ancient Azlanti.

Well I guess theres no reason two of you cant have the same one.

Hunter might not be the most fitting, but I feel like it is the closest.

The Oathkeeper: there’s evil in the dark and Tessai swore long ago to stand against it — Azlantia may hold the kind of threat she was born to face.

:)

Sure I can add Oathkeeper and assign room.

If anyone else wants to create a unique one post it.

DocOcc is somewhere between Historian & Expert, I'm going to go with Historian here.

OK, if you have Historian, I'll go with Expert. Arronus is not looking for technology though, he's looking for occult objects...

I'll whip up the Occult Expert and change the room

All right, Arronus's finalized pile of equipment for GM Michael's review:

1. No More Than 150 gp in mundane gear (like youd buy at 1st level)

The Oathkeeper: There's evil and dark that you are sworn to face: [Rm 56]

The Occult Expert: Within The Depths are passages to alternate realms for you to find. [Rm 73]

Urktar another 125 towards healing wand. You could upgrade to a cure light level 2. or take another cure light wand.

I've updated Doc Occ's gear, he has ~2983gp of stuff so there's ~12gp left for party funds.

I didn't have a dagger listed as a separate item but it comes as part of the pathfinder kit so I added it to my character sheet.

Rhaeodlaf Once youre ready, we are going.

I'll take a 2nd wand.

Also, I think I can change my motivation to The Explorer to keep things more interesting.

I guess we'll soon see how GM Michael brings us together, but I wonder if any of our characters know each other already?

I'm actually going g to kick things off with you being at the ruins with an entry post explaining the how you got together that you can build on

I really hate to do this to you guys, but real life circumstances beyond my current control make it necessary to leave the game before we're even begun. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. Never meant to waste anyone's time.

Again, I'm sorry.

It's quite alright
If your bandwidth doesn't permit a game I get it.

Be well and thanks for letting us know

Sorry to hear it Rhaeodlaf - was looking forward to our dwarven arcane master! Hope everything turns out for the best IRL.

I've reached out to someone else hoping to hear back soon
I'm kicking it off by Wed regardless

Yessir.
Would be good if we could find another Arcane caster.
Otherwise I could always create an Arcane Trickster :D

Ready and waiting

I've received the invitation from GMMichael and am happy to join the party.

I'll read through the threads and get Jenna set up here thanks.

Just looked at the equipping list, is a Handy haversack OK?

Jenna will have an Alchemy kit on her along with her other gear so weight will be a big factor.

That's 2000gp so aside from the Travelers any-tool she's not going for any other magic items.

As a Crypt breaker Alchemist Jenna covers Rogue, she has Trap-finding and disable device.

Her theme would be the Explorer.

Happy to put money in for the Wand of CLW.

She doesn't have those skills yet. So many skills so little time!

D20 roll: 1d20 ⇒ 3

You're not the only one who can cover trapfinding and disabla device.

You're not the only one who can cover trapfinding and disabla device.

Always good to have more rather than less on the trap-finding and DD. :)

1. Iron Perenti: Gideon Stormborn (Half-Elf Fighter 2 Brawler 1)
2. DBH: Jenna Wilde (Aasimar Alchemist 3)
3. Veniir: Urktar Rockburst (Oread Cleric of The Green 3)
4. Fangdragon: Dr Ocellus (Human Investigator 3)
5. Albion, The Eye: Tessai (Tiefling Paladin 2 Oracle 1)
6. pad300: Arronus Triari (Half-Elf Occultist 3)

The party now.

Jenna's piece of info.

Since one has chosen the Explorer, what say we make up one for you.

What about The Crypt Breaker? You've heard the Azlanti had a way of perfectly preserving the dead. Now to find out how. [rm 11]

I'm pretty good at disabling devices. Find device, use hammer.

Since Jenna only needs the combat summary, and to confirm the motivation. Im kicking this off tomorrow.

everyone make sure you join the roll20 link by campaign info, so I can link you to your avatar.

all the posting will be here, but moving on the map will be done there.

for dice rolls, you can use either roll20, or here, as long as I can see them. Ill do the same. If I use roll20 Ill tell you the rolls are there. In some cases I may.

checked in

I'm pretty good at disabling devices. Find device, use hammer.

The non-magic version of the Find traps spell. Material component - one fighter 30' ahead of the party. :)

does this work better than the Explorer?

The Crypt Breaker? You've heard the Azlanti had a way of perfectly preserving the dead. Now to find out how. [rm 11]

That really does fit her better.

Motivation The Crypt breaker.

Forgot to add her spells. On her sheet now.

1st - comprehend languages (DC ) , cure light wounds (DC 13) , endure elements (DC 13) , touch of the sea (DC 13)
