Hey guys, I'm going to have to drop this one. Work has been super busy the past month or so, and it isn't getting any better any time soon. Sorry to leave you in the lurch!
Capricia can have my artifact - she'll get the most use out of it, I think.

Does "Cloak of Protection" equal "Cloak of Resistance"?
"Where to next Lord Titus?"
Will my attack go off before the sleep spell, since I would technically act before Aerith?
Is that the Tower to the right of the map?
And a special thank you to Sara for providing the link to Martella's letter that referenced Panivar, which also said we needed to get that document.
Falcatas rock when you confirm a crit! They really do, but an AP set in Taldor is the only way they really make thematic sense to the game - otherwise they're just a straight up superior finesse weapon to anything else, and using them is viewed as a bit of a cheese move.
With Thalasou's shot flying forward, Hargus runs towards the nearest guard.
Servant-Hargus rushes forward, closing the gap between himself and the other guard before seeing an opening and moving into the most dangerous position - next to the count, with the two guards flanking him. He says nothing, drawing his falcata on the move.
Or beating him and his guards in Initiative and running past them.
I'm back. Sorry about the additional delay. If we're going to try ganking Lotheed now, we need to get in position to keep him from fleeing. He's got some spellcasting ability, doesn't he?
Hargus takes a minute, and adopts a disguise of a servant as well. His is realistic that you aren't quite sure if it's a whole new person or not.
He stays close to Sara in case help is needed.
Excellent. I will be traveling beginning tomorrow through Tuesday, and will have only my phone. Please bot me as necessary.
Are we all disguising ourselves as servants? Cause I have a Many Guises social talent that I need the GM to approve "servant" as an option for.
That's okay, glad to have you back. Let's go find some allies and have fun storming the castle!
"We'll need more than just the three of us to do this - and Valeria did suggest we form an attack team. The Four Hoods would give us assistance in this, I think, since it would give them what they want. If nothing else, the Beggarwood gives us a place to start recruiting an attack team."
Thanks for the info! Will update my sheet. Sveng had the Subtle Mask - since he's out, we could easily move it to someone else.
What is the name of the +2 defending longsword I have again? I didn't write it down on my sheet.
Level 6 + 2 = 8
Skill Points: 6 + 1 Human +1 Favored Class Bonus = 8
Background Skills:
Vigilante Talent: Shield of Fury (Ex): The vigilante gains Improved Shield Bash as a bonus feat. If he already has the Improved Shield Bash feat, he can immediately swap it for another feat for which he qualified at the level he chose Improved Shield Bash. In addition, if he is at least 6th level, he is treated as if he has the Two-Weapon Fighting feat as long as one of the weapons used is a shield. This allows him to take feats that require Two-Weapon Fighting as a prerequisite without meeting the Two-Weapon Fighting or Dexterity prerequisites, but these feats only apply while he is wielding a shield as one of his weapons (unless he takes Two-Weapon Fighting as normal, in which case this restriction is lifted). Bonus Feat: Improved Shield Bash, Two-Weapon Fighting (shield only)
Welcome, new people! Lovely to have you with us! Eregos is not particularly min-maxed either, Thalasou, given that I'm trying to make a Strength-based Rondolero-style combatant using the Vigilante class as a chassis (it's weird, I know). Having played both an Oracle and a Witch, I may be able to provide some advice for each of you, if you have any questions.
Eregos nods in agreement. "I concur. If we're going to drive Lotheed out, it cannot be directly tied to Stachys. Make sure you prepare to give a scathing speech excoriating me, 'cousin'. If we fail, you will want to make sure I am ill-remembered until success can come." As the others leave, Eregos turns to Capricia and Sara and asks, "What are your thoughts on going back to the Beggarwood and trying to recruit the Four Hoods yet again? Without Valeria, we may be able to negotiate their allegiance from their demands - I believe we will have to kill Sir Gul Gusairne to get the key, so we can satisfy that requirement, at least. They may be willing to negotiate on the pardon for crimes."
I will post my turn tomorrow - I can't check the map right now.
I mean, Eregos is posing as Valeria's wastrel cousin, not a servant, so "firing" doesn't quite work for him. Still, he does have a dual identity simply because his family name is so sullied.
How deep is the water nearer the snake? Deep enough to need swim checks, or just count as difficult terrain?
Eregos already has his falcata out, scanning the area as he tries to see if they are going to be attacked. He looks for a cave or anything that might indicate where the shouting is coming from.
"You're right, Capricia. Something feels off."
Well, I was going to come in and apologize to everyone for my absence the past few days - home and work life kept me rather busy - but now Val and Sveng have both left. I guess that leaves me as the only remaining original member of this group. This is tricky - Val was the one who was set up as the Betony heir. I don't think there's an easy way to just roll someone else into that job. What do we want to do?
What might help is if we can get a checklist of "things to be done" in the sandbox as we go around, that way we can see what we should do and plan accordingly. I know I'm having trouble figuring out what to do next.
Eregos replies, "So, their conditions were that we kill Sir Gul, grant amnesty for crossing the border, and pardons for all crimes they may have committed, past and present? The first likely would have been easy. I'm sure that, given where Count Lotheed's support lies, we will eventually cross swords with Sir Gul."
Eregos thinks a moment. "What do these four hoods look like?"
Eregos chooses to remain with Capricia, as he doesn't want to give up a falcata that was an heirloom of Taldor's history.
Eregos was at least more familiar with horses, so he took the reins from Capricia and made soothing noises to it as he held it.
Eregos looks at Valeria, blinks a couple times, then says, "You are aware I have no idea what I'm doing with this, right? I mean, I know it's not exactly a difficult task, but...well, I'll see what I can do." He gets to work with Capricia who appears to know as little as he does.
Eregos looks over the residents of the Beggarwood, looking to see what's for sale as he considers Sir Gul Guisairne.
Sorry, all. I had to travel for a funeral. Getting caught up now.
I believe so, yes.
Coming back to this, let's do some digging in the Beggarwood. We'll probably be able to draw significant support from them if we can take steps to make their lives better.
Yes, I concur with the above choices.
Eregos will absolutely pass on trying any ochre jelly until such time as he can be sure that it won't kill him. He doesn't think Sara malicious, but he knows all too well that bad things can come of good intent. He, likewise, is impressed by the performance of the Subtle Mask. He wonders if the markings could be disguised in any way.
Hargus lowers his bow as the ochre jellies are finished off. "Well met, Atratus. I hope that we can continue to be allies going forward." Once Valeria finishes in the carriage, he takes his turn, changing back into Eregos. Once he steps out, it's as though the Forest Knight never existed, his armor once again resplendent, the mask gone.
Eregos smiles. "Thank you, but that won't be necessary. Might I have a moment? I need to change." Eregos steps into the carriage...
Eregos sheathes his blade, and advances with Valeria, still keeping an eye out for the spellcaster.
Eregos dances free of the grasping plant-life and draws out his falcata before scanning the area for the caster.
I also gathered some info from this post that matches what the Baron told us and Bimble got from his Knowledge check.
"Excellent idea, cousin! If nothing else, it makes for a lovely annual tradition! Is there a local temple of Pharasma? I imagine they would be happy to provide us holy water to pacify an undead spirit."
”Of course, cousin! A little journey around the lake will be most perfect.”
Eregos, not being particularly good at swimming and knowing that the touch of the sea potion will wear off by the he gets out of his armor, opts to lower a rope for Valeria to take with her so maybe he can help haul stuff up that way.
Eregos shakes his head. "I know nothing of gutting and filleting fish, so the honor is all yours. I just wish I'd been a bit more useful in taking it down - my performance was less than ideal."
