Virtual Kingmaker. I could go for that...

When I started my "Train2Game" course I was thinking about finding a way to make a kingmaker game, though that's a bit of a pipe dream.

It's possible though, especially if combat was turn=based and locked on a grid like Disgea.

Given that's a 6 books campaign , what will you guys be doing in 2028 ?

Hopefully my brain will be perminantly linked into a machine so that I can continue this game :p

Narrater , you still there ?

good question. He seems to reply once in a week or blue moon.

"Wuh'well it's mostly small animals it's killing. Do you see any cluh'clothing or anything from travelers? Wuh'whatever it is, it's not too interested in fuh'fighting us- that might change if we cuh'corner it, though."

"Whatever it is, it's best we kill it. I don't want one of us to get attacked when we make our way back."

** spoiler omitted **

** spoiler omitted **

"Someone heavily armoured should get closer or if someone can summon a creature to be a instant sacrified or one of us can get closer to it." as Nefi says this she gets out her spear and points it towards the area of climped soil and then moves closer, getting ready to stab at anything that emerges.

how can the bomb miss it's mark if to hit a are like a single 5ft square, which is where I was aiming, is AC 5 and I got a 8 on that. Was hoping it would burn out the area and reveal whatever the creature is hiding under, whatever it is.

Nefi raises her flask as if to throw yelling out to what ever she had seen earlier to show them self. Seconds stretch out to minutes with out any new movement or reaction to her ultimatum other then concerned looks from her traveling companions as they try to keep their distances from where her attention is concentrated...

A map will be difficult because I lack many tools to make something nice and or quick but I will see what I can do but I am making no promises besides are you certain their will be action enough to warrant a map in this area :)

Well Nefi just wants to make sure everyone is atleast 20 ft away from the area so where Nefi throws the bomb no one will be like "owwww, why the hell didn't you tell me you were going to throw that!" or "Watch where you're aiming!" so I want to make sure I don't hit anyone, plus I'm acting on what my perception result told me.

Nefi, satisfied everyone is 20' away from the area throws the bomb into the square where she thinks something is hiding.

To hit a area is DC 5 so I'll have to roll that to hit the area.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 This is the damage in the direct area is lands in, but anywhere in the slash radious around the bomb (5' around) takes only 4 points of fire damage.
"Whatever it is, I hope the fire goats it out. I'm not about to be a snack in the Stolen Lands." he says as she wonders if the fire has hit anything or if the fire has atleast heated up the area to pull the thing out of hiding.

Actually I have a question whats going to be your rules on death and new characters?

Well I'm not sure how much you know about the new pathfinder rules, but you don't die until your negative hitpoint equal your con score.

For example, Nefi Lagalos here my Alchemist here has a con score of 14. This means that if she gets knocked down to -9 and then bleeds into -10 she is still alive until she reaches past -14 as per the new rules:

On the character's next turn, after being reduced to negative hit points (but not dead), and on all subsequent turns, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check to become stable. The character takes a penalty on this roll equal to his negative hit point total. A character that is stable does not need to make this check. A natural 20 on this check is an automatic success. If the character fails this check, he loses 1 hit point. An unconscious or dying character cannot use any special action that changes the initiative count on which his action occurs.

So if Nefi here fell unconcious at -3 from the damage she took from a Orc's axe then she would have to roll: 1d20+2-3 and if she beats DC 10 she stops bleeding and stabalises.

I'm quite soft and there's a good chance I'm not going to let anyone instantly die from the first encounter and rule it off as badluck, unfortuatly this is not a charity case and will never happen again.

P.S. This is the DM.

"Clear the area guys. I want to light this thing up before it comes out and nabs one of us." she says preparing the ingredients, but not yet mixing them as she knows the chemicals will change from unstable to mundane in a matter of seconds so she'll have to time this right.

Krebak looks around wildly.

"What?! Before what comes out and nabs one of us? Huh? Where are you throwing that thing?"

Nefi makes sure to point out the area.

Map DM? Atleast for where we position ourselves or maybe when I've thrown the bomb.

No one's posted in a while so might as well.

"Clear the area guys. I want to light this thing up before it comes out and nabs one of us." she says preparing the ingredients, but not yet mixing them as she knows the chemicals will change from unstable to mundane in a matter of seconds so she'll have to time this right.

"Pavel! There's something moving there." Nefi points to a area near the centre of the area being paced out and steps away, moving her hands down towards her ingredients and getting prepared to throw a bomb if need be. "I can try and flush it out with fire if you want guys?"

Nefi doesn't know what's moving so she doesn't want to flush out something that might be harmless, which is unlikely due to all the bones.

Heal check to have a glance at the bones and see if any are humanoid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Clearly I havn't seen a humanoid before...

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

"Hm, well I was also thinking of red or black or maybe a very wild colour." she smiles as she sighs, seemingly unimpressed with Pavel's reaction.

Heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 (heal check to see what the species was and how these htings possibly died like bite wounds or stabbing, ect. Won't tell me what it is unless I do another knowledge check.)

I've taken the libirty posting online on a fourm threads I'm in to advertise for the spot the druid freed up if that's okey. Should be getting messages sometime soon.

I've got us at 5 days group rations after the last two days of exploring- we can hold off on personal stuff until the rations Svetlana made us start running out. Are Finneous and Dortlin still with us?

"Wuh'we keep heading west after we map this area, wuh'we'll hit forest. What kind of pluh'plants you lookin' for?"

Survival to stay on course: 1d20+7

So save my rations then?

"Sounds like a good plan. I'm looking for anything with some kind of special properties. Anything with a powerful colour as I want to see if there are any natural plants that can be used for dyes. I'm thinking of starting out with green." she smiles as she plays with her hair shyly "What do you think, Pavel?"

"Jungles? Those are forests. Jungles have vines, and monkeys, and...other...jungley things. Anyway, closer to Oleg's makes sense. Start there, work our way outwards."

Nefi shrugs her shoulders.

marked off 1 ration on my herolab sheet. 4 rations left, will be telling the party if Nefi starts running low.

"So...where shall we go? We have a huge land to explore with many jungles. I believe we wanted to explore the area closest to Oleg's. I'm hoping to find more materials for a little experiment I have in mind." she grins as she says this and plays with her hair.

Assisting with Survival: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Nefi will have bombs prepared for an encounter, following Pravel somewhere near the front.

"I've heard of fey living out here and ruins. Perhaps because there is a deep connection to the first world. Hmm...wonder what I can do with some of these leaves I found."

"I'm all for it. We should get out of here before Potion McCrankypants mixes something wrong and his hut explodes."

"I'm sure he's a perfectly stable alchemists, just a little ambitious in his works." she shrugs, assuming that's his reason, but obviously having no true idea. I wish I was able to talk to him on some research he might have found out here and some good spots to gather new materials."[/b]

"I agree Pravel. Or is it Mr. Pravel?" she shrugs not knowing how he would perfer to be titled. "Sounds like a good idea. I hope our druid friend here is able to negociate with any fey we run into in the stolen lands. I do not think they will give me any special pass even though I am a gnome."

Nefi just shrugs her shoulders.
"I don't see a problem. We might end up running into this thing anyway, but him taking the credit I don't agree with unless we get the reward?" she asks curiously as she'd like to be atleast compensated if they were to let him take all the glory.

I'd recommend it, if for no other reason than that House is an amazing example of curmudgeonly wit. That, and if you didn't know who Hugh Lorrie was, you'd think he was an American 99.9% of the time. I'm always impressed with actors that can adopt other accents.

The curmudgeonly wit reminds me of Doc Martin if that's what you're on about. Though with Doc Martin he appears to be more like a robot and doesn't relate to the villagers, which I can understand as many of the cases he deals with are due to the villagers own neglagence.

Krebak's happy to keep the thread alive with enraging witticisms...though I might have to watch some reruns of House to get in the proper spirit.

not watched it, but Hugh Lorrie FTW

Pavel raises his hand as he pulls the rough map from his saddle bag.
"Aye. I'm kuh'keepin the maps for now."

Keeping clear of the nobleman and showing mild interest Finneous' expertise, Krebak retorts loud enough only for the gnomes (hopefully) to hear:

"Unless that stutter spreads to his writing hand. Then we'll probably have to retire him as cartographer.""

Nefi narrows here eyes and shakes her head in his direction, clearly not ammused by his quip, but smart enough not to say anything which might start some kind of row in the party and that is the last thing they need in the middle of the wilderness.

Thats fine Nefi it happens sometimes in game. Thanks for the update

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will most likely be unable to post for several days starting Friday. I will be on the road visiting friends for at least a couple of days. I will try to post before I leave that day. I shouldn't be gone longer then a week.

lol, sorry for not updating in a while, rarely check the OCC (should get out of that habit) and I have my fan back so I'm happy now. LOTS of dust in there.

Sorry I've not said much. Not much to say and just installed new fan into the laptop too.

There are other things than money in life .

"True!" Nefi squeeks wanting to add herself into the conversation. "There's alchemy! Discovering strange new concotions both healing and damaging, finding new types of poisons to be made, making a highly concentraited acid to burn through metal..." she carries one for a few moments listing off many different discovers that can be found and her obvious excitement at the prospect of alchemy. It's almost as if she's forgotten she was talking to anyone. "Money is something we would need to help equip ourselves, however as Pravel said, it helps with our goal to tame this land and it's not like we're doing something immoral."

She shrugs her shoulders as she thinks for a moment, hoping to come up with something that might help calm the tensions, but she instead starts collecting samples from any nearby interesting looking natural plant-life she can hope to either make a potion or poison out of.

Nefi is cautious and draws out a vial she has prepared earlier that day, drinking it instantly and a disc flickers into existance for a moment before dissappearing.
"Say the word and I'll set them on fire." Nefi says seriously, keeping her hands by her alchemical equipment in case something bad.

I assume as they have noticed us they'll be here in less than 10 rounds (1 minute) so the extract will be up. It's effectively a shield spell so +4 shield bonus and immune to magic missiles.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Nefi smirks as she notices Krebak's spell.
"If we survive this, you can copy my shield spell into your book." she looks back at the group, making sure that if an attack happens she will throw a bomb at the group as they appear to be clustered together for the moment.

Don't know Krebak's spells in his book in character, though unfortunatly she can't learn mage armor, but can various other spells. Having a look at your profile none the alchemist can learn.

"Too rich for my blood. You should tell us about this quest, after we find out if these guys are here to talk or try to kill us."

"If they try anything...boom." she exclaims with a smirk, pointing to her equipment and prepared for any offensive actions. Anything happens she'll be prepared and throw a bomb.

Nefi forwards the spoiler tag of perception 20 or better, just in case.

"There are a bunch of them coming this way. Seven people, six animals in total. Three of the men are on hourse back and followed by four men on foot and three mules loaded qith equipment." she pauses as she tries to get more detail. The lead rider must be the one in charge. He's carrying a unusual crossbow in his hands and is wearing a breast plate. The second rider has a spear that flies with a crest of a white swan serenely sailing across a blue expanse. Raised on the crossbar of his weapon and wearing a chain shirt. All os them appear to be armed with the same unusual spears with a spiraling blade and crossbar, all wearing chain shirts." Nefi makes sure to get her ingredients ready in case she wishes to throw a bomb if they are in danger.

Sorry for not replying too quickly, but my laptop fan has offically died and without a fan the processor can't cool down to everything is reallly slow atm.

"Nuh'not much to check over. It's all guh'guess work at this point. We know there's a vuh'vast forest here to the southwest wuh'with swampland and some lakes. To the suh'southeast here are fuh'forested hills."

He runs a hand through his tangled hair.
"Thuh'there's been other expeditions into the Gruh'Greenbelt before but, uh... th'they didn't finish the job. Nuh'not much more specific information as a ruh'result. We got our wuh'work cut out for us "

"You'll have to hold that thought...I see a group approching." she looks over into the distance, her razor sharp vision used only for the crafting of alchemy somehow manages to make her able to see what's approching with great detail.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Fluff text is reguarding the natural 20 lol.

"Sure, we could duh'double check our distances."

He scratches the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Ah'and it's just 'Pavel', nuh'no 'r'."

"Oh, sorry." she smiles shyly when saying this and then points to a random area. "Have we...err...checked this area well enough?"

Thought we'd do something as the DM didn't tell us if our check successfully mapped out the area or not and gives us time for character development.

Nefi having grown bored walks up to Pravel and gives him a smile.
"Pravel...shall we make sure to map out the area whilst Simon is busy?" she asks with her head hung low and kicking the dirt on the floor as she remains looking downward.

"Also I'd like to take a look at your alchemy set. I'm curious what acids and other materials you might've been able to create and what herbs you might've found out here in the Stolen Lands." she smiles, hoping to get a look at whatever chemicals he might've been able to create due to the strange and unique plants out here.

Pavel shrugs, dismounting anyway. He stretches his legs and takes the opportunity to check on the horses, making sure their shoes are free of pebbles and the packs are secure and not chafing the beasts.

"Yuh'you guys ever seen a muh'manticore?",he asks.

"A Manticore?" she pauses as she things for a moment, wondering if she ever heard of such a thing, but shakes her head as she can't quite recall the creature. "Sorry, don't think I've heard of it."

Knowledge Arcane1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Hope she makes a swift recovery!

Same here.

Krebak snorts, then says as an aside to Nefi:

"Hmph, and people call me a hedge wizard..."

Nefi giggles, but she can't help but look at the green smoke with some kind of interest.

If needed, know he's a alchemist from what Oleg said so Craft Alchemy skill 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

my mom went into the hospital with pneumonia so I will not be able to really concentrate on running the game for a couple of days. Hope to get back to you all soon.

Sorry to hear that, just noticed the message. Hope she gets better.

So what's the result of the survival roll, did we get enough to meet the DC and map out the area DM or has something arrived like a back of boggards or trolls

As a result we have many blank pages and some time ago we started taking on artists to do a few drawings. I believe someone already covered animals from Bestiary familiars for wizards.

If you have the free time you can get in contact with the group or look online and see what they say can have drawings. Just a suggestion, but of you don't have the time that's understandable. It's just a suggestion and we give credit to where the images come from.

That's a fun idea. I don't have a lot of time, though- working on Slumbering Tsar takes up just about all the time I can budget to projects. Maybe once that's done. Thanks!

Cool, just contact the moderator as I'm unsure about the things with drawings as we havn't spoken about it in a while since we added a few peices of fan made art.

Slumbering Tsar...I think I've seen that by frog god games on the paizo site, correct?

So we'll have 35 total days of rations after the first day of exploring. I believe Sigurd left us his Mighty Composite Longbow for a +2 str bonus. Can anyone else make use of that?

Having a quick glance at profiles I think Simon is the only other person who can use it. Handy against flying foes, but if no one else wants it and you don't want it Pavel we could claim it as party loot and use it either for money or trade.

That's two characters in the same AP that I don't have any points in survival, but will have to take some next level.

Nefi will try to assist Pravel DC 10 to assist

1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12 That's a +2 to Pravel's check.

Nefi remains close to Pravel, looking about the wilderness and wanting to help out however she was also hoping to find interesting unique plants and fungi that she could possibly stock up on to experiment with or even make poisons with.

Anyone want to either pay or ask Nefi to have her create a few poisons I'm sure she'd accept, though without poison use you'll have to still make a reflex save on a contact poison to have it dipped in your blade without infecting you.

Same, just waiting on the DM

Hey sorry guys I would've replied but I thought there was a problem with the site. It appears that once again firefox wasn't loading any webpages on paizo so I was stuck with a blank screen and now the kids are here, gah. Anyway I'll get to everyone soon and save this explaination on note pad to tell everyone else. Again, I apologise for the slow reply.

Also, congrats on the bouncing baby boy. I wish you luck that he's a quiet one ;)

Nefi makes sure to eat her meal, but she eats with slowly and taking her time to look over all the peices that she then eats. She appears quite happy and enjoying the meal, but seems to study it too as it appears to interest her for some reason.
"Thank you for this meal, Svetlana. It's great." she calls over to her with a smile of appreciation.

We already have 2 healing potions. A third would not go amiss and since the day is already advanced , leaving tomorrow morning would make sense. If I might interject something here , I quite understand one want to improve his own equipment but it would make sense to leave 50% of our earnings in a communal pot for items potentially helpful to any of us. And to begin with here is my 35gp.

Krebak looks askance at Simon.

"Wait, I get a bagful of coin just for showing up and you want to take half of it away? 'Communal pot?' And just how do we decide who gets to dip into it? Sounds a little fishy to me."

"I think it'd muh'mostly be so we don't fight over who owns what puh'potion if the time comes when there's an em'mergency. Or for scuh'scrolls and pruh'pricey restoration magics."

Pavel scratches a stubbled cheek.
"Or if yuh'you wanted to research a spell that would huh'help all of us, we could throw in for that."

"That sounds reasonable Pavel. I'd put money in to benefit the group." she smiles as she says this and looks over what coin she has left. "I have five gold, nine silver and six copper. I can add three gold as I don't want to have all my money missing."

I could use a little some thing.

Pulls out a chair and sits by Nefi.

So do you brew potions or other things...?

As he ask the question a smirk comes across his face.

"Potions, acid and other things but what else were you thinking of?" she asks curiously tilting her head to one side as she does quite get the subtle suggestion

At the mention of money

"Oh...I've already spent most of it for Oleg to get me a portable lab. I could pay back by making potions of cure light wounds, shield and identify." she smiles as she loves the idea of being helpful.

I agree, also a good way at looking at it Simon. I guess it works differently depending on the person.

"I'd love to have a nice warm meal after all this travelling." she smiles softly as she looks over the group and makes sure to have everything prepared and out of the way. Last thing she wants is for her mutagen to accidently spill in someone's lunch.

Also, DM is there any sculptures of sometype? I'd like Nefi to have some kind of interest and justification into why she takes the skill besides simply to make constructs, though that could be a good enough reason.

I'll be official charter carrier. Also I am kind of new to "role playing" so I kind of don't know what to say.

Observing all of this while drinking some ale I decide to speak up.

It all sound good to me. As my mother said “I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.”

Probably will sound like something from writing class or drama club but here's a few things I can think of. Try to imagine yourself as the character. What interests you? Does the half-orc wizard scare your character or is he so used around half-orcs that they generally aren't intimidating? What do you smell when you put yourself in his shoes. What do you hear and how do you feel about planning this attack on the bandits? Is it justice or should they be put on a trail? I usually have the alignment hand-in-hand with personality. I'm still trying to find my place with Nefi, attempting to gauge her personality and interest in the affairs of the stolen lands.

Oleg takes the coins from Nefi It will take some time but this will be enough for me to order the lab for you. It seems that I can trust to extend you all some credit I will have to work up what I can afford in inventory to make it easier for you all to exchange items you find for useful gear. Let me think on it for a bit and I will have something for you all to look at before you have to leave.

"That's great! I'll settle for the portable lab until I get five hundred gold peices for a proper lab." with this she smiles and appears to eagerly await her portable lab, looking over her current checmicals. "If you guys want to put money my way, I can craft us potions of cure light wounds." she has her alchemy set all out for the moment, though she doesn't have a lab yet to help her skills.

"It'll take me two hours and only cost 50gp for materials that I'm sure Oleg might have as his disposal." her eyes glisten as she looks over her potions and searching around to see if Oleg has the materials available, smiling up at him hopefully.

"If possible, I doupt Oleg has one, but if he were to have a wand of cure light wounds that could aid us far better, though I doupt you have been able to get this when the next trader comes by?" she asks not knowing how often traders would come down here if it all "I like the idea of taking the areas near Oleg's due to the safety of it."

At Oleg Nefi seems happy with the newly aquired coin.
"Oleg, now that I have some cash on me can you get me a portable alchemist's lab. Here's 75 gold for it if you don't have one, but are able to get one." she hands over 75 gold coins, really wanting a lab of somekind, even just a portable one for now.
