Im going to be moving in the next week or so, so I may be absent for a bit, Im still around and will post whenever I can, depends on how long it takes for the cable company to come hook up the internet.


No problem vishoon, and btw Im going to be moving in the next week or so, so I may be absent for a bit, Im still around and will post whenever I can, depends on how long it takes for the cable company to come hook up the internet.


OK that's fine with me, I will be posting something In the next day or so then, in an interest of time I will forgo anymore time killer fights or whatnot and we will head directly to the monastery, if that is OK with everyone.


Ok we will move forward to the monastery, I have to warn you though that when the HD on my computer dies I lost the maps I had made, and I wont have time to make a new one for a few days, If you want to continue on with just me describing the surrounding until then we can do that if you want, Let me know..=}


Loupe:

The Red Gem is a Ruby worth approx 500 gp
The white Gem is a diamond worth aprox 1000gp
the silver ring appears to be a plain silver ring worth aprox 15 gp

Anders:

You cast detect evil and do not detect any evil.

Sacerdos:

You do not recognize the ring as having any religious significance, however you find that the ring gives off a slight magical aura.


Are you all in agreement about moving forward then?


Im the same way Morzul, crazy nuts till probably after christmas as well, im lucky if i get a chance to get on here more than once a week..its all good..weve gone on this long, whats another couple months right..lol


The contents of the pouch spill onto the table, you find that there is 400 GP, a Large Red gem, and a Large white Gem inside the pouch, as well as a plain ring made of what appears to be silver.


Morzul receives no reply!


still here, this one is drawing to a close soon, we have the monastery left, which will probably take a couple weeks since there is several rooms and battles and im not very reliable about getting to post regularly..but if you can trudge along with me we will get it done..=}


The last time i checked in it looked like you guys were still doing introductions and about to divide the loot, then last week i looked in the web site was down and i could read or post.


When your ready make your way over to the stables to meet with Foxglove


Sorry it takes me so long, working 7 days a week sucks..Im still here though.


Ameiko hurries around the inns common room serving breakfast and bringing drinks while singing a sweet soft song in her native tongue, the sun shines through the windows of the inn and the fire burning in the fireplace fills the room with the smell of cherry wood..as the groups eat and mingle with each other a familiar looking man saunters down the stairs, dressed in fine formal clothing and followed by three servants. His Blue and overcoat is embroidered with golden patterns and in his right hand a cane with what appears to be a giant diamond at the top,atop his head a wide brimmed hat with an exotic bird feather stuck in the side.

The man looks around the room and seeing Katrin proceeds to make his way over to her.

" Good Morning, Miss Katrin, Nice to see you again..I hope you slept well!"

The man is Aldern Foxglove, he looks around the room and loudly clears his throat..

" UH..HEM...Good morning to all of you, I would like to thank you all again for your wonderful heroics the other day..I am still in your debt for saving me from a most unfortunate fate!..I promised you all a further reward and I am a man of my word..So here it is, Today you will accompany me on a Hunt into the Tickwood, our Prey will be the Legendary Wild Piggywhiskers the Great, the largest, meanest, stinkiest animal this side of Magnimar..and once Killed, we shall return here for a feast in your Honor!!.."

The mans words get louder as he goes along, he seems to be in genuinely good spirits and excited to be going on this hunt. Katrin cant help but notice though that he seems to be staring at her while he talks, turning a bit red in the cheeks.

"I would like all of you to meet me over at the Goblin Squash Stables in one hour, where I will be purchasing every one of you your very own Horse that you may keep for after the hunt is over as my gift to you..and furthermore here is sufficient gold coin to outfit yourselves with whatever you may need for the hunt..I will see you all in one hour!!

The man tosses a fairly large leather pouch on the table and quickly turns and heads out the door.


Bendorf and Cold eyes do not perceive anything further, and no further sounds can be heard from the cottage...the vale is still ominously quiet not even a bird can be heard.


New post is up!


Loupe, is that Loot list a consolidation of both groups or the original from just your group?..you you guys want to collaborate on consolidating the groups loot, I will allow it all to be kept, that should help the finances and whatnot of everyone. we have a couple more things to get through and everyone will be leveling before we go to the glassworks.


The groups leave the cottage and stop outside for a moment to take a breath of fresh air after being in the dank musty cottage, the sun is shinning brightly and the vale is quiet..almost too quiet..the several dozen lawn ornament that are scattered around out front seem to stare at the adventurers with a cold menacing stare..and from inside the hut they here what sounds like cold iron being scraped across stone and what sound like the jaws of a bear trap snapping shut over and over..

What do you do?


After the events of the last several days, the groups find themselves in the common room of the Rusty dragon inn. The Barkeep Ameiko Kaijitsu informs each respective group that several of their fellow party members had packed up their belongings during the night and had left town, she may have more information why if is she is asked about specific members, but for now she just lets them know they are gone. The two groups not really aware of each others circumstances are drinking and talking among themselves looking very forlorn and worried about the future..


Im thinking that we could have the group meet at the rusty dragon, after the raid, and after the some of the local quests have already been completed, lets assume that between the two groups that we took care of the goblin under the house, and that Karls escapade with Shayless in the basement of her store ended with him killing some rats, Shayless attempting to get Karl into the sack, and that Shayless's father came in at just the right moment to catch it..and with some smooth talking Karl was able to convince her father that everything was on the up and up and that everyone is still on good terms..The group that was tailing Karl outside catch up with him just as he is leaving and heading back to the inn, both groups are now at the rusty dragon, and both groups have just learned that several members of their group have decided to go their separate ways, and everyone is in the common room of the Inn, feeling badly and trying to decide what to do next..both groups are listening to the conversations of the other group and realize that they are all in the same boat, and decide to help each other out and form a new group to continue helping out sandpoint and get to the bottom of the goblin raid...So that is how I envisioned it going, However you guys want to do it is Fine by me..but start off at the Inn, and once the group is formed and introductions made, we will continue on with the story.


Alright Im here, Im very sorry to have been gone without letting you guys know where i was, I thought I had posted, but I obviously did not..The hard drive on my computer took a crap and I just got it back from the nerd herd today, and I am ready to go!!


alright folks we will give it a couple days for everyone to get here and check in, then we will get going..I think this is going to work out well!!..


I know I will get confused very quickly as to who was in what group, so go ahead and introduce yourselves to the ones you don't know..lol


Bedlam:
You notice that the cauldron that was tipped over earlier has magically righted itself, no one has touched the cauldron that you are aware of..


Karl, Make whatever changes you would like, Be a fighter and play like a cad..lol =}


Welcome Katrin!!..good to have you here!!


This is Kind of a consolidated game between two of my groups that lost players, so Right now its closed, But if for some reason one of my players decides to not play I will let you know..=}


Make whatever changes you feel necessary..I'm open to all, just make sure they are reflected in your stats at the top of you posts,keep the characters personalities and back stories the same though... and If you didn't live 3 hours away, Id love to join..my Sunday afternoon game kind of fell apart because of everyone's work schedules and such changing...I now work Every weekend, and the other guys does too, Im on first and he is on second, and the third guys custody schedule changes all the time so his kids are there when our kids aren't and it was just a mess..lol


Once everyone is here and introductions have been made we will get down to the business of combining this thing, figuring out where we are starting and so on and so forth, Please remember to bring along all your loot from the previous game as I will be allowing you all to combine it ALL into one big loot cache, Also, if you want to make any changes to your characters, now is a good time to do so..


Welcome all!!..Come in and make yourselves at home!!


Welcome Bedlam!!


After About 20 minutes of searching through the hut cold eyes, Bedlam and Morzul turn up nothing of interest, but Fulito finds Several small statuettes that look like they are worth something, he also uncovers several dusty containers and inside one of those containers he finds what appears to be the rats tail that they have been looking for...as the group turns to leave, he notices hanging from a hook directly above the door, what appears to be a very mysterious shrunken head....


Alright ALL..here is the link for the new Campaign

Meet and Great!!..Welcome Everyone!!


Welcome to the Gameplay Thread!


This is the recruitment thread for GM BigBusMans Combined ROTRL Campaign.


Looks like the other group is wanting to as well, so looks like we are good to merge, told them that it will probably be Tuesday night or Wednesday before I have the time to set up a new thread and such and I will let you guys know when i get it done so you can do a meet and greet and whatnot, we can then decide on what point we should start.


OK, if everyone is in agreement then I will set it up and let everyone know. Will probably be Wednesday evening as its the next time I will have any amount of time to do it, maybe Tuesday night if i get out of work early enough..It will make a fairly large group, but i will make necessary adjustments in NPC and Monsters so that it is still a challenge..and My brother just gave me the hard copy of the ROTRL for my birthday, that should help me out as well..and a huge set of table top dungeon tiles that he bought at gencon..it was awesome!


also dont forget to update the loot spreadsheet


Bendorf are you still with us as well?


fulito, are you still with us?


Hey guys, The other ROTRL group i am doing has lost several players as well as this group. They have an interest is merging the two games back into one, which would make it much easier for me as well. Id like your input on whether or not your interested, I think both groups would do well together and compliment each other nicely, and with my shortage of time right now I think it would help both groups as I would be able to devote the time i do have to just one game. Can I get a group vote so i can see who all we have left and how you feel? thanks


I will float the idea of merging to the other group and see if they are interested. So right now we still have vishoon, loupe, Sten,Dairkal and Karl. We lost Red and Zander? Btw my birthday was Sunday, and my brother got me the hard copy of the rise of the runlords, Its pretty cool and should help me out a lot with this campaign. Sorry last weeks post didn't show up, I will re-post today. Im probably looking at posting around twice a week or so until my schedule calms down. Once i find out if the other group wants to join, we will have to decide how to merge and what we want to do with resources and where in the story we should start at, both groups are pretty close to the same spot and neither had done the boar hunt yet.


I did post a reply on here earlier?..idk what happened to it?..does anyone else see it?


Zander, not too sure how to move you to inactive characters, it doesnt seem to give me the option to do that?


Im here, New jobs kept me busy and for some reason I lost all of my Pathfinder stuff on my computer, so I had to download it all again, I am considering merging the two games into one, but haven't really floated the idea yet, sorry I haven't been able to live up to my GM duties as of late, life gets in the way a lot it seems lately.


(sorry its taken me so long to reply, I had to download all the books and stuff again, and have been working a ton as well, I need to read the AP again tonight to get caught up and will post a more lengthy reply tomorrow I cant remember if we are ready to go to the glassworks or not yet)

The group is now in possession of a wand of cure light wounds..which they obtained for a great price!


Cold eyes detects no evil from the corpse and can tell it is not alive, the cauldron glows with an eery blue light when he casts detect evil upon it!

Bedlam looks around the room and sees that the inside ofthe cottage is dank, reeking, and filled with shadows.Haphazardly hung shelves line the walls, covered in all manner of clay jugs, clouded bottles, strangely cut rocks, rotted bunches of herbs, and a museum of other crude curios and remnants of a bone grinder’s artifice. A rusted iron cauldron, with a mouth nearly 5 feet wide and a depth of at least 3 feet, dominates the hut’s single room, its ash-covered surface shaped with a relief of capering fiends and leering devils. Across from the door, against the far walls, stands a highbacked chair made of wicker, the gigantic curved tusks of some monstrous beast, and thousands of human teeth. In the chair sits what looks like a corpse wrapped in filthy burial linens, its form padded with pungent herbs and sprouting patches of thick white mold.


Karl thumbs through page after page of the shops ledger..searching for the names he was looking for..after several agonizing minutes of searching in vain, and almost giving up hope he turned one more page...and there..about 3/4's of the way down the page in hand writing that was unmistakable to him..was the name..the name of the man who had killed his wife..

Vishoon And Dairkal were able to find Karl and Shayless's tracks and were able to form a conclusion based on the direction of the tracks, that the two were more than likely heading towards Shayless's shop. However they seemed to be almost 30 minutes behind the them, by the look of the tracks..A lot could happen in 30 minutes.
