Apologies, everyone. I had internet connection issues for almost a full month (and maybe a little over). Not fun at all. On the other hand, with all that extra free time I got another job. (So not a lot of free time these days anymore, but bills are being paid off faster than ever. :P) Sorry you finished the game. I was hoping to learn more about the Order of the Palatine Eye, or whatever it is, and we didn't even get that far.
Galadan looks around at the preserved 'creatures', his look stern with a fiery judgment. "This is how the abomination of necromancy begins."
Cool. I'm unfortunately without internet connection at home for a while. It's being fixed, but may take some time. I'm posting from the library right now. I can get there once a week.
Tested, Galadan is movable. :P
Yes, Paizo Tabletop is supposed to do the same thing when it gets going, and I hadn't yet had a chance to do Roll20 yet, so this could be exciting. I'm Daniel B.
It's not weird at all. In fact, if a game dies due to the DM's absence, its the only thing you can do to resuscitate it. -As to Galadan's reason for continuing, he's encountered enough flesh golems, golem dogs, and other necrotic creatures to know that someone is disrupting the natural flow of life and death, and in accordance with his goddess, he cannot allow that to continue. The necromancers must be neutralized.
Sure... I'm in. LOL. I'm a little mentally torn by the idea because I just started (or submitted characters for) another four PBP campaigns. (as I have a tendency to replace lost games with active ones). But until it gets to be too much, I think I'm good.
Alright. Good Gaming and Good Luck. Although, level 5 is pretty far, all things considered. Especially if you believe in the E6 system.
So here is a discussion thread for anyone who wants to try. I'm thinking we'll play 3rd level characters, but where and who and why depends on the continent (style of play) you all choose.
So I'm sorry to see this game die... I didn't even get my inquisitor to the prestige class. And I'm a little depressed because it feels like most of my PBPs are dying. I'm waiting to hear if I've been accepted into a new one, but I might start recruiting for a short (one adventure) PBP in my own home campaign Kingdoms of the Seven Continents.
Yay... Hope you had a good vacation. I hope everyone else is available too. :P
Galadan switches tactics, moving to aid Kevin in escaping from the mimic's glue.
DM: When did the Mimic contact me? I attacked it once with my mace, while the mimic attacked Kevin, then moved away after the mace got stuck...
Galadan fires a crossbow bolt at the mimic.
Galadan leaves the mace and backs away from the mimic (20 ft), taking out his crossbow and loading it with a +1 bolt.
Almost unperturbed by the sudden appearance of the creature from the boxes. "The lord of the manor does indeed keep interesting pets." Galadan moves to flank the mimic and attacks with his heavy mace.
"Wren, do be careful not to touch anything. There are still spell protections on some things, and there may be more than one such guardian."
"There are these vials still." He returns and retrieves the glass vials he found before the golem (and company) had made its abrupt entrance.
"Well, if this is the home of Stitches' fa-, err, creator. He has probably dabbled in other construct work as well. I'm sure we're getting closer to the core of his exploratory work. Hence the need for increased security."
Galadan finally exhales a breath he had been holding since the battle started, relieved that the conflict ended with few injuries. He looks around the new room they are in, searching for traps or anything of value.
That felt a little like a boss fight... Do we get to level?
Galadan makes for one of the remaining homunculi.
"Take it down! Take it down! That flesh golem is dangerous." Taking advantage of the slight movement of the battle, Galadan attempts to move forward to a place where he can attack a homunculus. for
Round Three
Round 2
"Kevin, kill the homunculi. I believe they are the golem's senses. They should be easier targets than the golem, whom I think Aldous is able to take on in this particular form."
I do eventually want to make Galadan a Brightness Seeker, as I am still trying to mesh the elven ideas of the afterlife with the Pharasma one. There may actually not be any difference to them, but of all the prestige classes out there, this one is somewhat interesting because it regards the metaphysics of death at least somewhat realistically.
"The little dog-like things are homunculi. Beware their bites, as they are poisonous." Galadan sagely warns as he draws out his heavy mace. "The large creature is a flesh golem. It is immune to most magic, and it's flesh is impenetrable against most weapons. Be wary if its attacks become more erratic."
Galadan is alarmed by the sight of the hideous golem and the strange dog like creatures guiding it. "What in the Nine Hells is it?" He wracks his mind to determine if he knows anything about such creatures.
Galadan searches the room, again searching for possible aligned items or creatures, and for magical auras.
It's quite alright if you need to take a break. We all do at some point. Perhaps someone else could take over as DM for a time? It depends on what the rest of us want to do, but this is a fairly interesting campaign (and Galadan is an interesting character).
Galadan is silent for a moment after the door is opened, wondering what effect (if any) the alarm spell had.
"So long as Kevin still has the surcoat we found, I concur. Most of the occupants of this place have ended up being... 'friendly'."
"The door isn't locked, but opening it will surely announce our presence. It's been alarmed." Galadan informs the others sagely.
Galadan takes 20 to search the balcony for anything suspicious (DC 34), and also detects alignments on the statue, attempting to determine if it is enchanted in some way. He will then turn to the door to see if it is locked, after Aldous has searched it.
"Perhaps one person can be flown over with some ropes, and we can tie up some handrails, as it were." Galadan suggests, uncertain if Aldous' wings would be able to carry all that weight.
Galadan enters the room carefully, with his metallic possessions still present, and keeps his own crossbow trained on the remaining rustmonsters.
Galadan shrugs. "I yield to Aldous' decision. I prefer to remain neutral."
"All things considered, I think it is most merciful to kill them. They are innocent creatures, in that they intend no harm, but they are destructive and dangerous even without intending to be. And they are blocking our path. Stitches is somewhere within, along with his... 'creator', supposedly, who might be able to shed some light on the situation with the undead and the Whispering Way."
"If the crates are wooden, I suppose you could try putting them in the crates. But I think the creatures would be able to break out eventually. Most crates aren't made for the permanent storage of metal eating monsters." Galadan says from behind the door, still pointing the crossbow at the cowering monsters.
Oh... Oops. Must have missed it. :P
I guess we are waiting for Aldous to roll initiative and attack. :( I hope he's alright.
Galadan looks over at Kevin as he aims through the doorway. "I actually agree with Wren on this one. Another explosion would be devastating to the whole building. I'm not even sure we would survive such a fall."
