Thanks very much. It had not worked before, but now it did.
Happy game to all of you and a wonderful new year!

@Sir Andreas Eisfalke Von Ulm: It seems you currently have control over this game. Could you be so kind as to remove me from the list of active players/characters? It really just take a couple moments to do so. Just go to the "Campaign Info" tab and click on "Edit This Campaign" on the top right corner. Then scroll down until you find two sections labeled "Player" and "Characters", with check boxes in front of them. Please uncheck "Sir Longears" from the Player list and both "Duzz" and "Kazmuk" from the character list. You finish by clicking on "Save Changes". I'd really appreciate it.
Guys, whenever possible, please remove Duzz from the current players so I can clear my campaign tab.
Not at all, feel free to use both Kazmuk and Duzz as you see fit.
Guys, I wish you all a happy gaming and that you actually finish the game! When possible, please mark me as a former player, please.
If I'm being honest, I'm not really looking into continuing. Back in 2018 when I played Kazmuk, we were lvl 3rd I believe. Now, six years later, we are lvl 4th. I honestly do not feel we'll be able to finish it.
Sad to see you go GM, but I totally understand.
Duzz comes a bit closer to the whole thing, dismounting Marük. "There is a grove of coachwood about 10 miles north that I'm sure would fit your needs and be away from Miss Melianse... of course, I'd expect you not to log the whole place." He gestures towards the Nixie. "Push nature enough, and it pushes back as you've already learned." "Now, Miss Melianse, you plan on keep these men under your control for as long as it takes for a tree to grow from sapling to full grown?"
As the group leaves the unbearable Jubilost and his gnomes behind, a lone eagle circles the caravan. It soon leaves, but not before crapping on the leader's head. --- "Hum..."
Yup, pretty much want to annoy them. We helped them and in return this Jubilost has been nothing but an ass to us. They were in danger before, but the mud would not put them in danger again, just make their life miserable for a couple hours trying to move their stuff. Duzz isn't good and he doesn't really care if it will be well received by the gnomes.
Guys, I'd really like to use Soften Earth and Stone centered on the caravan, creating a 20ft. square of mud that is between 1 and 4 feet deep depending on the toughness of the soil (by the river, probably not tough at all). Are you against it?
"Hum, I think this concludes our business her, yes?" Duzz asks the others, eager to leave the ungrateful gnome to his own business.
Duzz takes most of his clothes off and starts to twist them in order to remove as much water as possible. Seeing the leader's animosity, he sighs, putting his clothes back on. "I helped without you asking, Caravan Master, and I've done so because I wanted to, with no reward in mind." He calls Marük to his side and climbs. "We have our own provisions and we can make our own fire." "Thanks for you kind offer." He says to those wishing them to stay, and adds, moving his from one to another until stopping on Jubilost. "May the gods give you twice as much luck and kindness as you have offered us."
With the ponies unhitched, Duzz guides them back to the shore. "Almost there... shh, shh."
Duzz signals the others to wait. They can't move the wagon without freeing the ponies first. "Sshh... sshh..." Duzz pats the ponies, working on calming them enough for him to unhitch the poor animals.
"Oh my, oh my!" Duzz exclaims as he rides Marük forward and down the hill. "Coming to help!" Marük rushes past the gnomes and Duzz expertly jumps the saddle and then swims towards the scared ponies.
Feeling mobility to be more important than subterfuge, Duzz guides Marük up the hill to also take a peek.
"Many folks used to the wilderness prefer to sleep outside, with nothing but the stairs for their ceiling. Perhaps he used the tree just to keep his possessions safe and during winter."
Cleaning his hands after the deal of burying the madman, Duzz points towards the trail. "Shall we?"
Once the others have finished their business, Duzz tries to find the trail back to the madman's camp.
"Dead." Duzz states. "And so is life. The madman's motives will remain a mystery."
Just to confirm, the man is dead then? Or is there a special reason why the First Aid use of heal not being able to stabilize him?
As the man does down, Duzz looks around to see if any more foes are jumping at them before dismounting and trying to stabilize the madman.
Not willing to let the madman escape, Duzz moves Marük around to cut him once more. When in place, he kicks the man in order to give Andreas an opening.
The cat gone and Rilka healed a bit, Duzz moves Marük around so he can flank with Andreas. He then tries to unbalance the mad man to help the king even further, but fails.
Scared, Maruk brings his antlers and hooves against the cat.
Worried, Duzz has Maruk stepping away from the angry cat while reaching for Rilka with a healing spell. "Can't we just back down and talk?"
@GM: Just to confirm, since we are in some wooded area, the ground would be considered wet earth for the "soft earth and stone", correct?
Done, sorry for the delay.
Duzz nods to Rilka. "From what I understood, we are not in a rush. Our planned route is still good."
Don't really have more to ask the crow, so Duzz is just waiting for the others to return.
While the others enter the hut, Duzz remains outside to talk to the crow. From a pocket, he fishes some berries and offers it. Crow: "Here it is, noble friend." He waits for it to eat before continuing. "Do you live nearby? What do you know about the old woman in the hut? She doesn't look like one who likes visitors."
"She isn't wrong. Potatoes are very stubborn plants." Duzz says, shrugging. But then he turns to the crow.
"You are definitely not peeling potatoes, my noble friend. Do you mind talking to me for a moment?"
Actually, I for some reason read barding but my mind went to saddle. My elk has no barding since it isn't proficient with armor at all.
It looks like in my last edit I've deleted my mount's stats from my page. It is an elk and should have barding
Don't mind which path to take to be honest. I'm good with following Rilka's route as she is the map maker.
While somewhat metagamy, how close are we to level 5? If we could deal with other stuff and level up before returning to deal with the wisp, that would be nice.
"Exploring seems a sensible thing to do."
So I am fine with Druid Herbalism as a means of adding healing spells. But it does make any potion so we will give it a try, but if it gets excessive with buffs or other potions it may need to be nixed. No problems with that. My main purpose is indeed healing and utility. Druids have some very fun but also very circumstantial spells that this could let me make use of them. If you prefer, we could house rule a max number of potions for him to be able to keep at any given time. You cannot be small and have Soul Seer. Both require you to give up your Spell Like Ability. I assume you prefer to stay small, so in that case you would lose your Soul Seer ability and retain the Fiendish Sorcerer ability or some exchange of that ability. Actually, the small size isn't due to a variant ability from that table, but instead from the information about non-human tieflings.
That being said, I don't really care about Soul Seer, so if you want me to remove it for whatever reason, no problem.
Here is Duzz as a druid. Still need to pick a trait, a feat, and the daily spells. I went with the wild whisperer archetype in the end. In terms of attributes, the only changes were lowering Dex by 2 and raising Wis by the same amount. Skills suffered a bit, since had to sacrifice a bit of mobility and social skills, but kept Disable Device because I thought it was important. Since druids aren't really great at healing (no channel and no conversion to cure), I picked up druid herbalism as it will allow me to convert hours of rest into potions for the party. I'm aware this option can be exploited by crafting a bunch of stuff for selling, but I'm for sure not going to do it. I've changed his items a bit, since now he isn't proficient with his former weapons. Basically got rid of his mw shortswords and mw comp shortbow for a magic shield and a mw scimitar.

"Not everything has a deep hidden purpose." Duzz says as they search. "He could very well be just a loner. No friends or family because of his curse, so he roams around the lands, skipping town when the deaths start to pile and suspicions to rise."
@GGM_Coreyllon For some ridiculous reason, the developers of the Feyspeaker archetype decided to create a separate ability called "Wild Mischief" that is just Wild Empathy (WE) but for bluff instead of diplomacy. Everywhere else when this happens (there are a couple instances of abilities that let WE do Intimidate), they just alter WE to allow such a thing. This is relevant because there are some other abilities/feats that improved WE so I'd like to know if you'd consider allow such things to also affect this Wild Mischief. IMO, these abilities are most often very bad and spending resources to make them somewhat viable/relevant is not a good move on my part if we consider strategy, but I'd like to try for the RPing aspect. As usual, if this becomes problematic at anytime, you'd have the prerogative to change it back.
I'm ok changing Duzz to druid. I'd go for the Feyspearker archetype since it is very close to his concept after all and since it has more skills than a regular druid, I'll be even able to keep Disable Device. The animal focused theme will remain strong as well, and the only loss will be his offensive capabilities (unlike most druids, this archetype has 1/2BAB). Considering the lineup I don't feel that would be as impactful as we having only Saoirse capable of healing. I'll work on the changes and post here for approval.
So, with Jacob gone, what is the plan? He was the main healer, correct? Here is an idea if we do not want to go to recruiting again. While Duzz is a rogue, he has not shown many of his rogue-ish skills and in fact shown much of his the abilities that are those of a druid. It would not be hard for me to do some tweaks on him and have him as a druid instead. Of course this will lose us Disable Device, but would that be that backbreaking?
Massaging the scar left by his newly healed wound, Duzz joins the others to look at the dead man. "That... could have been done better, but considering we are all still breathing, it could also have been much worse." "What do you do with killers around here? A proper burial would be nice. Show the body back in town could bring some closure to people, but since he is back in his human form, it could bite us in the ass."
It appears we have lost Jacob? I've taken a look on his games and his last post was almost over a month ago. |
