I apologize. I met my deadline at work but things haven't eased off. I think I'll have to withdraw.
Best of luck exploring the ancient ruins guys. This seems a really cool AP I just don't have the time now.

Olander goes up to it and starts putting his hand on the wall, trying to investigate it empirically.
Eirnar is extremely pleased to see the books and journals the Heidmarch's will surely reward the pathfinders for. Agreed, we should try to be quiet!
Ugh, definitely not fun having the site not work. I'm here.
Olander follows the suggestion, I was planning to anyway, makes a quick sketch and a note before moving on.
Olander tries to remember his history lessons.
He says with some reverence for the Runelords of the fallen ancient empire, This is Alaznist, the Runelord of Wrath.
Olander agrees, but is somewhat pessimistic, I wouldn't mind them standing down and leaving, but we have no more claim to here than they do, so if there is something of value, there may be a disagreement...
Olander appreciates Sandu's reading. It reminds him of an old dwarven dweomer asked if the path would lead to weal, or woe. Adventuring clerics quickly learned it was a worthless spell, because almost every path contained weal and woe. Olander mixes up an extract of cure light wounds while Mikkitar makes his preparations and drinks its.
The bombs are very useful, but at least my sword is always at the ready If we see another were-rat, I'll try to use a tanglefoot bag to stick it to the floor. Unless I get a lucky blow, I can barely hit them, and I'm not sure how many bombs you can brew up before we go further.
Olander's own wounds close slightly, making him feel better as well. Always good to see the dwarf get his court mandated Desnan therapy Seeing it likely that they'll be proceeding without further incident, Olander asks I'm still sort of hurt, should I take 15 minutes to brew up an extract that'll fix it or do we have a more expedient solution.
Olander wonders if it is a legitimate question or an implied threat. A dwarf is insinuating he is the new leader of the tower girls... stranger things have happened
Olander points at the fallen were-rat, Now would be a good time to give up, before all of you suffer the same fate
Olander continues fighting defensively, recognizing they're still badly outnumbered.
Olander smiles. Duels against multiple foes were not the primary emphasis of fencing training, but a good defense against multiple foes was paramount. He takes a single careful stab against the blue one who managed to score a hit.
Since they're resigned to combat, Olander obliges.
Which diety, sounds cool? Super busy at work atm.
It helps if you don’t get hit... You can either pull yourself free or slash it away I’m unlikely to succeed at either of those
Olander lacks the skills to appear propelled menacing, so he stays silent with his colleagues implied threats.
They're either dead or sleep like it...
Olander pulls his sword, I doubt those raising the alarm would be undead. At least I'll be fighting those with flesh. " Perhaps we should find some cover rather than waiting here?" Olander suggests.
Congratulations
Olander sighs, My sword won't do much good against skeletons.
Olander briefly sketches murals details, noting the strange priests, before continuing on.
Olander grabs ahold of Nocki’s rope as he falls and expertly twists it, hoping he can guide the falling dwarf onto the platform.
Olander holds a rope for Nocki, not being an expert himself, and waits for a clear roped path to proceed.
Who knew our ratfolk was going to the most silver-tongued! Well done Mikkitar! Olander congratulates his friend on getting them not only through the combat but also for getting them information that the dead wouldn't have provided.
Olander awaits the were-rat's answer, preparing to defend himself should he be attacked again.
Readied attack, if the were-rat continues its attack:
My sword only hit it because I got lucky, better to keep using fire! Olander takes a completely defensive posture.
Olander calls out worried, My sword didn't even hurt it!
Olander is fire resistant and avoids the worst of Mikkitar's blast. He engages the were-rat.
Olander tries to hold back the were-rat from the fire-rat intent on burning him to the ground.
Parry against shortsword:
Olander turns to Mikkitar, and says that doesn't seem normal!, keeping the quiet part quiet. You don't do that do you?!?! Olander thinks as he fails to bring his blade down upon the extra big rat.
Olander follows in Nocki's footsteps, drawing his rapier and bringing it down on their foes.
Parry if attacked:
Why does every woman want to attack me.... oh right, the horns... Wait... Olander calls in vain.
If that ladder collapses into another latrine... Olander looks it over and then follows.
Olander begins to pontificate, "The Irespan, sometimes called the Giant's Bridge, is the largest and most impressive monument in all of Magnimar and overshadows the city's poorest district known as Underbridge. The Irespan is actually the remains of an enormous bridge that stretches into the Varisian Gulf, standing over 300 feet above the sea and over 100 feet wide. It is, like most of the monuments that dot the Varisian landscape, a remnant of ancient Thassilon.
Hopefully, we either find them, or they're already spoiled too. Olander tries to remember anything about the Irespan, Thassilon, and candles.
Olander gives it his best go but assumes Mikkitar will probably have more success than he does.
Olander follows Nocki's lead.
The glamorous life of an adventurer... Poor beast. Olander takes a closer look at the dog and trying to avoid the smell. He then moves on with Nocki.
Olander stands shoulder to shoulder with Nocki, his blade at the ready.
I was told a Mr. Heidmarch paid already. Olander challenges the request for more coin.
I think we're ready.
The trip back from Absolom my stomach was in knots, but the voyage there didn't have any issues. Hopefully our trip to the Irespan more like the latter. Indeed to the Irespan. Can you tell us anything about it?
Olander chooses to hold his previous blade, knowing how lost he'd be without a rapier in his hand. As fine as any blade I could have had if I hadn't grown horns and red skin... joining the pathfinders was definitely the right choice.
Sandu voted weapons I think, so we’ll go with that.
The wand is only 82.5 gp with the partial charge and selling for half. I’d vote for selling the mithral shortsword and that’d be enough for the two Mw cold iron weapons. Or we could delay the weapons and get the wand of cure light wounds first.
Olander could definitely use the masterwork cold iron rapier.
Olander has the artifact (and the ioun stone, which allows him to use it, presumably without becoming all homicidal). What other loot do we have? Did we get any gold? I agree we should all have a way to climb, and I'd like a crossbow before proceeding. After that, if we have excess wealth (which I don't think we do), cold iron masterwork weapons seem like a good investment. |
