Discussion Thread

I don't suppose we can do anything about the color? At least make it more of a bluish-red than yellowish-red, if the color is intentional for whatever reason.

It's not my fault - it's Paizo. But if I remove the word 'Red' from the campaign title, the text should return to normal. "Requiem for the Violet Raven" perhaps?

At least it's not "Requiem for the Red Sm*rf"....

Rouge Raven perhaps to retain the alliteration?

And it's Galt anyway, so that'd work great.

Signing in to discussion rather than just recruitment.

Shaman's are half witches, so we're only half a witch away from a coven :)

I am wondering about the interactions though. For example all three of us have the Fortune and Misfortune hexes. Do our party members get to benefit from Fortune 3 times a day, or just once?

Fortune - once per day sadly - "Once a creature has benefited from the fortune hex, it cannot benefit from it again for 24 hours".

Mistfortune - "Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day"

What is handy is that if we del with multiple creatures we have multiple options - and can sequence our assault - eg Ill Omen/Evil eye, Misfortune, Ice Tomb. Hitting sometething like that in a round is pretty horrible.

Percy also has things like haste and fireball, with a bit of healing thrown in - so the hexes are a side benefit.

...And a shaman! What kind of neat things can you do? ...

It's been five years since I played this guy last, and even more since I played him regularly, so I'm not entirely sure!

As I recall he casts spiritual weapon and spiritual ally often in combat as he has a feat to boost them, poached a few cleric spells via FCB (Invisibility Purge, Prayer, Burst of Radiance, Air Walk (Communal)), and has some neat utility hexes.

Heaven's leap lets him teleport an ally 30 feet. I remember that being hugely useful at low levels, but probably not as much nowadays. He gets his Wisdom bonus to knowledge checks via his wandering ancestors spirit so is pretty knowledgable, and he has a very high perception bonus. I almost took Skill Focus (perception) at 11 so I could take 10 and get a 50, but it felt a bit overkill :)

Shau 9, would you mind giving yourself an avatar?

I like it, I've never seen that one before.

It took me a while to figure it out, but I like it too! Do any of the casters have a spare mage armour for a lil non armored halfling after our meet and greet? She doesn't feel it appropriate to ask while socializing but you never know when stuff will happen.

Percy can help out there with mage armour.

It took me a while to figure it out, but I like it too!

It would be...kind of strange if you picked something YOU didn't like.

I tried female halflings and I picked the best of the ones I didn't like, then tried just female swashbucklers.

Is the game on pause? Anyone type something so I know it is updating.

I'm sorry, I've just had trouble getting it together, myself - and I want to be at my best for this (I'm also trying to sort out how Lucija would react to the accomodations)!

Now, either I am a tad confused, or others are: I was rather under the impression that the Talespinning would take place the evening we arrived?

Well, Eliza has sent us off to our 3 rooms (so that's pairs and the expectation to double up), and the inference is that whilst the Talespinning was that night, the expectation seems to be we will stay over - so I think we're just 'in game' organising that through some light roleplay.

We are also waiting on some updates on our exploration as we were free to explore the lodge.

DM also suggested now was a good time to pursue Faction Objectives - I dunno, COULD I try to recruit the renowned Osprey (a named NPC scholar, knowledgeable spellcaster, or similar figure) to the Dark Archive...!?

Better still if there's a cursed item somewhere around here I could "recover" while trying to resist its curse (I had a golden opportunity to get that in a prior adventure, but failed to resist the curse, an embarrassment that still burns...!).

Only had Perils of the Pirate Pact and King Xeros from Hestram when I checked my chronicles.

I had none! I had to look for stuff he was in and well run with it lol.

I think they invited the wrong referees - "I did a lot of cool stuff with the Society, but barely now this dude"

Does anyone have a list of the scenarios he was involved in?

List HERE

Can we assume Lucija says something and the snake says something crazy and move on or do we need to wait.

I'm very sorry, I've just been...tired.

List HERE

My word, there are some adventures there I don't think I've ever even heard of, let alone gotten to play!

I'd have put this in the post above, but the stupid 1-hour rule:

Sometimes I hesitate because these days I often don't feel I'm up to the task of putting on the show I should (I'm afraid I haven't got anything like Lucija's self-esteem).

I went to Absalom and all I got was this crappy tshirt

Why settle for that when you could get a stuffed badger!?

OMG! I want one! That will make a cool hat/cloak for a halfling adventuring in the woods, raccoon hats are so last year.
Or I can buy several, YOU get a badger, YOU get a badger, EVERYONE gets a badger! Badger pillows or badger pillow fights! Animate object on the stuffed badger for more fun.

OF course, there is Badgers? WE don't need no steeenking badgers!

But seriously what game designer figured we needed a stuffed badger item???

Shau kinda wants to punch the snake because she finds it annoying but is at odds because of her being a cleric of Nalinivati lol.

Huh. Maybe some of my PCs should get one. I had never seen that before

Snake! SNAAAAAKE...!!!

This is actually a good idea.

Our initiatives are correct.

...and a copy of the token on Slide 4 on the same line as your name.

This confuses me; I see no "token" in Slide 4.

That's because I'm asking you to put it there alongside your name so I know which token belongs to who.

Slides sorted :)

...OH.

I interpreted that backward - i.e. as 'a copy of the token on Slide 4', NOT 'a copy of the token on Slide 4'.

English can be weird :)

I've put River and Eska (his fox familiar) on there, typically I wouldn't bother because he has a familiar satchel and Eska likes to hang out there, but if there's an explosion or something before he can act Eska is currently out.

Peep should be out also. let me find an icon for him. ALSO Peep can dimension door at cl 12 so does Morok and dangernoodle-aka naghamadi want to come with Shau to the big red things?

Funny you should ask; I believe Naghamadi and I ARE "the big red things".

The Slumber Hex doesn't permit coup-de-graces, does it (it'd certainly explain the hype if it did)...?

BTW, in case it so happens these things were magically summoned, don't forget my Spell-Dodging armor!

There is nothing in it that prevents them, hence the hype.

I guess stuff so close we don't need a dim door at this time. Can River slumber the other one?

River doesn't do Slumber, it's way too strong :)

I guess not too many places for the golem to pop out lol. Glad you slumbered the first one, one less golem, I think. If it pops out near me I can probably deal with it or get Osprey out tearing the worm a new one literally.
