To be fair that was only 4 PCs and one cohort. The last PC and cohort had to make the "rescue mission".
Actully, Kale hadn't quite leveled as Kensai just yet. I knew he would be at the end of the night, and both I and Kale were feeling presured to get the oath thing out of the way before it was too late. I was really hoping we would be in Farshore for it, but that was a long way off and it needed to be done NOW!
Kale was quite confused at the line. He didn't think anyone would try any hanky panky in such close quarters. In fact the thought of anyone doing that in the party while adventuring didn't cross Kale's mind. I think Kale was more floored that Tristan was so worried about. Kale never did question Tristan's intent on this. He just figured she was worring too much. I think Guy told me a certain scene is comming up in the next issue. So I'll give the shocking preview!
First of all Kale's not a very religous person. He felt bad about the dead people, but barely surviving himself and being eaten alive and having to cut yourself out kinda makes one forget about dead people and start thinking about "How am I gonna live?"
Guy Humual wrote: (also Kale was one round away from death when we cut him loose. I had him cut himself free in the story because it makes for better reading but in the actual adventure Kale couldn't quite do it with his belt knife . . . this is one reason I've suggested picking up two weapon fighting and a Wakizashi, one it would be good against multiple low level creatures, two a good light weapon is great to have in these grappling situations (even if you don't use the weapon for 99% of the encounters)). The major problem with Kale getting two weapon fighting is that he'd have to invest two feats into it. Plus Fred and James both have it!

You'll have to remind me of said item tommorrow.

I do remember that argument. Thing is was Kale was right that time and Tristan was just sulking about it. LOL
Kale's diary entry two:
I can release the first entry in Kale's journal, since it's more of a welcome entry and is written the day after the attack.
So here I am. Writing in a journal. Something I thought I'd never do. So here I am though, writing

So I wrote up all of Kale's diaries last night. Forgot it was a VERY small period of time and Kale doesn't have a large imagination. :) It needs some editing and it's ready for viewing. The players just got the first Lidu diary that corresponds, with Kale's second entry, which is the first story related entry. The first is more of an introduction, which I can most likely post whenever. I won't though. I'll post it with the Lidu before Kale's second entry.
Kale's Diary will start production this week. New monitor means I can look at my screen for more then 5 minutes without getting head aches! Plus my trip to TO is done. :) Posting will only happen when Tristan's diary is on par with Kale's. No spoilers for you guys! I'll be posting it right here in this thread.
Ya, Guy was telling us about the anagram last session (which wasn't STAP). I had totally forgot that he had at first jokingly called Hop Toy Dan, Hypno Toad! Was a while ago! I never noticed Hop Toy Dan was an anagram. Though I'm not very good at anagrams.

This comment was about the latest Lidu post on this site. Kale's short lived diary starts very soon in the Lidu story line. I haven't got to work on it yet, but I still do have everything down in pencil. It's needs heavy editing! Talking about what drives Kale. Well he's got the good old love for adventuring. Though as time went on, he felt like he was the person keeping the part from falling to far to the dark side. Kale is often suspicious of Tristan's intent. He trusts her, but sometimes worries she's loosing her mind. At least at this point in the story.Oh Brent I loved "Company of the Dreaming Wyvern"! It was cleaver enough that Kale wouldn't catch it's hidden meaning. It was my #1. "Swords of Sasserine" was my #3 pick. Sorry I tried Brent. LOL
I know I'm not big on E-Mail RP. It takes me too long to type stuff, and I've normally not the time to type stuff up. It would be great to have your own message board. I think that would be the best idea. *shrug* I know my wife (BlackTygra) would be ok with E-mail RP, since she does enough online RP already playing Never Winter Nights online. These diaries are almost caught up with the ones the players have read. We get to read and proof read them for GuyH.
Kale Silverthumb. Son of a tailor. Lives in the merchant distrect. Age 17 when the story begains. He has one brother, and both his parents are alive. Kale being the first born son was contantly preasured into tring to learn the trade. Kale was never much for it though. His brother constantly picked up Kale's slack. Kale would noramlly go goof off. He'd always be going off to look in the weapon and armour shops. It's not to say Kale didn't do anything for his family shop. He was quite good at buying and selling (explaining his Merchant feat). Sometime in his early teens, Kale deals with a very odd customer in the family shop. He claims to be a Samurai, and is looking for a very expensive peice of custom clothing. He's dressed in armour and carries a sword. Obviously Kale becomes quite interested in this character. Kales ends up following the guy around, talking with him, learning more about him. The Samurai chracter is only in Sasserine for about two weeks, but Kales learns a fair bit about Samurai (at he thinks so). He begins to emulate Samurai behavour. Starts saving money for a sword and armour. It takes a him a few years but eventually he get them. He soon after get the letter from Lavinia
I took the ultimate plunge. Since I work at a kitchen cabinet company, I have access to lots of hard wood scraps. I desinged a fold out table that sits ontop of my kitchen table. The gamming table sits about 4 inches off the kitchen table. I made the table in such a way that there are grided off 1x1 cherrywood squares seperated by 1/8th maple. The grid is 40x22 squares. The gaps where put there so we could put sticks on the board to map things out. We still use paper for most maps (just place them on top of the gamming table) but for ramdom encounters the gamming table comes in real handy. The other great thing about the table (and possibly the best part about it), is that we can slide our characters and books under the table. We were using the paper grid out of the DM's handbook, but our books and clip boards were getting in the way of using the whole thing. I've got pics on my comp. If anyone wants to see it.
It's possible to have a feedback about Voucher ? I have some of them still valid and never use them and I trying since a week to use them, but nothing work on New Store and none of them work ! They going to expire soon so can somebody give a status on Voucher and until the issue be resolve what going to happen if the Voucher going to Expire unstil the issue is resolve ?. I save them for now, seem to be a ad idea. What we can do ? Regards
Dear friends, It is with great sorrow that on behalf of the French PFS community we have to inform you of the unexpected passing of our friend Christophe Nogaret 49 years old, a regular player and adventure companion. He leave behind his wife and two kids. The day before he was still playing with us his favorite character Swinny the weasel and his companion Diva the wolf , preparing for the adventures to come during the French Online Convention. It's seem than another star join the sky of Golarion, leaving us after an epic fight against the Qxal manifestation on the shores of Bhopal and after put the killing blow to him. Swinny the female goblin ranger finally going to stay on Bhopal to assist his inhabitants in this time of pain. The same pain than afflict us to lose an adventure friend and companion. Gerald
So no more Quest ? It's shame I think Quest & Bounty can coexist together. Still a have some short Quest playable in different Tier connected to the Pathfinder Society can be nice. Bounty can be fun and quick but lot of new players want also go deeper in the Society Background to see the benefit to be involve in the Society environment. No just a module where you play some kind of Mercenary with no link to the society, in this case why join the Organized Play if we have no difference with other adventure ? I think we can have the two options. Sacrifice one to have the other not sure it's a good idea.
Well Done Terry. I'm sure you going run more Games at Conception soon. Always fun to play game with you since the first time we play together at GenCon UK2001, and after that, all the games we do thru the World and Online. One of the best moment in game surely be the special LG Game we play at home run by French LG Triad. Sailing thru the planes and carounsing and drinking in The Stygian Delights Inn located in the Palace of the Tear in Gehenna. Just wait now to play another Special with you as DM, surely Online, now I can't travelled like before thru the world to play.
Great News. Happy to see that happen. Avoid stupid things and no balance new option (Out : Gunslinguer, abuse feat or archetype) come to most basic game who give more space to cooperation and roleplaying and more fluent game without rules discussion But only one big missing : Why not Include the Inner Sea World Guide in the Core assumption. We play on Golarion and for me the most important its to play and have the flavor of the World. Most of them play Pathfinder to have the flavor of the World, and without that it's a big missing Like the language, lot of modules refere to Kelish, Polyglotte, Varisian, Osirion, Ancient Osirion, Azlant, Thassilonian. And its not possible to learn this langage. Can you explain me what new player see between Golarion setting and another one, without that ? Its like give a nice dinner without any flavor and with no taste. Really hope this point change in the final. |
