Lets just pretend he never mentioned benefits, as it really isn't germaine to the plot line anyhow - I am god, so you wont be getting cancer
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Geoffroi In the Sea ....Quite the read, if it is true, and I believe that it may be, it appears that the Salubri and others of their ilk, do indeed control the Knights Templar. More importantly, they have in their possession, the Cup of the Nailed God! Geoffroi reads this letter with a mixture of horror and incredulity. He had been the chief assistant to Andre, the Head librarian of the Templar's Occultabularia, its secret library of occult and magical texts gleaned from two centuries of plundering the Outremer and Byzantine lands. Yet he had never heard of Salubri until he was made one, nor of any control over Templars. And the Prince of Paris? was that not that alien god-thing they had just met? Alexander? Who was Angelique? Did they speak of the Grail? There had been rumors, but Andre had laughed at the weak minds who had spoken of the Templars having it. "If we possessed that treasure, you can be sure we would place it in a mighty fortress cathedral we would construct for the purpose of showcasing it for the millions of pilgrims that would pay to come see it. We would never need to earn another coin any other way, my old" He had chuckled over a bottle of wine And a Baali. Wasn't that legless mad creature they had dealt with one of those? Could it be the same one? So many questions! And how had Bion come across this book? Was he the cousin the letter was written for? Geoffroi made himself as comfortable as he could in the dark watery hole and prepared to rest for the evening, preparing for more questions to be asked next evening
Guess who's back? back again? Blayze is back. Tell your friends!
Just tossing this out again for anyone who wants - we have a dedicated discussion thread for the game on the Discord I hate to say it, but this will be the 'bolt hole' should anything go belly up here.
The kid looks him up and down “Would you be interested in a trade?”
Slice Me Deeper, Tiny Dancer - Rd 1
23 Justin: Fire Wall
Mel frowns and shouts out "I have no earthly clue what the ever-loving donkey dong these things are! If they are golems, they are likely immune to level drains and magic though! use area stuff!" He takes a swat at the passing blur of golden fury (2d6 vs evil; undead will save DC14 or instadeath) His mace comes nowhere close. He curses loudly in what the party can only surmise is ancient Sueloise. He begins chanting. His Mace suddenly becomes five maces, the others hanging about him in a loose formation of floating steel
Ack! I should have waved at you too Mark! waves belatedly . Although you were in Kansas. So many New Yorkers in my games. I should schedule a pick up game next time I have to spend six hours in JFK LOL
On my way to Guyana. On a layover in NYC as I type this (waves at Max). I have no idea about connection, but I might post. We’ll see.
I will be traveling for the fourth. Just putting that out preemptively. I might be able to post, as long as it isn't too complex.
Folks, I have been thinking about some stuff lately, and how technology has been changing. For instance, I have always not liked the PM system here. So, I am proposing that for communication since I no longer use any social media platforms outside of LinkedIn, I would invite you to my personal Discord server. There you can notify me of anything through DMs by friending me, I can post art or maps or anything else and if we have conversations we can reference them without the annoying parsing that comes with the system here. So here is an invite link. It will be good for seven days as of today - so up to 7/5 iirc I know Shadow you mentioned you hate it, but you have my phone number, so you can just text me ;)
Hi folks. Sorry for the prolonged silence. My bad. I was trying to be better with my communication, but I failed. I actually went on vacation, and just got back. I don’t have a good excuse- I should have mentioned it, but I got spun up with everything that needed doing as I got prepping. However, I hope to carve out some time for some updates today, including- just maybe- reinvigorating my photoshop suite. We shall see. Stay tuned and stay chill!
He might need the assistance of someone who is immune to necromantic energy thoI mean, sure, but she might need someone to calm her down first... One two three NOT IT!!
Hah. Fended off both a Gangrel and three lawyers concurrently! Huzzah!
BTW, you can reach me if needed at patrick[underscore]curtin[at]yah00[dOt]c0m Apologies for the attempt to dodge the AI scraping spidders- but you’re a meatsack, you’ll figure it out.
Mel looks thoughtful “I don’t think so. This doesn’t have that sort of … malevolence to it. Those lightning bolts are not good, but it’s more like elemental negativity. A sort of natural phenomenon “ He looks in on Alessia smashing up the room “I mean, you did kinda go sticking your d!ck in the meat grinder there “ The sun eye winks out for about 30 seconds, then sputters back
Venice by Night - Sunday - April 6, 1309 Streets of Venice - Geoffroi nods to the others as he rejoins the party “It is good to be back amongst allies”
Merely pretentions. Let’s see if I can post regularly for six months or so
Hi Again! Sorry folks, the new year has begun with a bang as my new job has taken my stress level up to 11. However, I have a long weekend coming up, and I hope that I can find time to post during this period. I am trying, honest! :O
Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop this picture of Solnes in her bridal dress for the FAWTL Family. She sends greetings and good wishes to those who remember the original days. Have a good one FAWTLies!
For those perhaps confused by Alain’s cryptic saying: ALL THINGS SERVE THE BEAM: All things work in harmony with the greater tides of fate. All events serve a greater purpose, even if we can't understand what that purpose might be
Folks - I will be traveling on Thursday to Key Largo to see FAWTL alumnus Solnes get married. From there I am heading to Maine to vacation with my mother and daughter. I will check in and I can certainly do social-type posts, but anything combat-heavy will have to wait. The good news is my time is starting to get better, so hopefully more consistent posts.

Yeah, I had a week of tough illness in there. And it’s a busy time in the yard/house/etc homeownership game. Plus , a lot of elderly relatives are dropping. And, still working two jobs, AND trying to get to the gym, AND dealing with drama at all levels of this … Sigh. Can I just be retired and play games and watch tv all day? Is that so much to ask?
Pours out a drink of fine Scotch for the fallen Until we meet again in Gamehalla, Gary
Wow. This hit hard, as I always considered the PMG the ‘face’ of Paizo. He was the one who rode herd on the cantankerous cat swarm that occupied the Off Topic Board. I remember sitting with him at the 2012 PaizoCon dinner, and it was such a treat to finally hang out with him and some of the other folks I had only known by posts prior. Good luck on your next adventure Gary, whatever that adventure might be. You left the world a better place for you being in it, which is all anyone can ask for in the end.
Narl grits his teeth against the pain and shakes his fetish at the cipactli. A hissing, whispering sibilance fills the air and the crocodile shudders, as its bones vibrate madly in its body. It releases Narl and roars, a gout of blood erupting from its mouth. Bones can be heard snapping within the large beast, which thrashes and howls in pain. It stills, stone dead
It was actually from Kobold Press. They don’t seem to have the Pathfinder edition still for sale, but this is the 5th edition version
Venice by Night - Friday - April 4, 1309 The Business of Michael Santos - Onfroi sighs, "The Beast allowed him to justify their deaths for his greater ends, I presume to rescue or find his family in Paris. Do Mortals not do the same? Did we Crusaders not use much the same logic to wage war on the Saracen and they upon the Infidel? I do not believe this is the Beat within Cainites but the very same Beast that beats in the heart of every man". Geoffroi nods “Ruthless pragmatism is hardly the sole provenance of Canites. I saw it in our Crusader kingdoms, where any weakness was often a death warrant. I saw it in France, where the king used the Templar’s weakness to overthrow us and loot our coffers and confiscate our property. If either had a use for blood, there would be a lot of drained corpses scattered from Brussels to Jerusalem “
So, I had had Jakun out of melee, but now we will have to sinter everything together. This is what I see using the main initiative tracker as the baseline: RD 1: Jakun had headed out to the tunnel, and went to check the door
So, IF Anyone wants to go towards Jakun’s position, this is where they’ll be at by round. I know the timeline is bumpy, but I didn’t think this opportunity would have happened like it did.
We spent five years in the FTC getting that settled. Whatta mess
Yeah, I had a couple of people fight me over the beads. However, I let them go because, they are FNCKING BEADS! Amirite? Life is too short to get twisted up about some cheap plastic beads. I mean we got all this without much effort.
Well, good news: there were bewbs on display later on in the evening. Bad news: mostly they faced the bead tosses so you only saw them from the back. Although one woman was completely topless in the crowd which was a daring choice. So my adventure with the New Orleans thieves guild: In the crush of Bourbon Street, a man and woman who seemed to be drunk, plowed into me. They stayed pressed very close, like I couldn’t get them off me. Then I felt a man go for my back pocket. Fortunately, being a paranoid soul I had moved my wallet to my front pocket. I would have shrugged it off to possibly just my imagination, but …. Five minutes later the same trio tried the same thing AGAIN! Literally plowing into me and the dipper going after my back pocket a second time. I guess they were upset their first try came up dry and they figured a fat merchant-looking guy like me had to have a coin purse bulging with gold. But after my initial anger, I was fascinated by the classic distraction/restraint/dip method they used. I’m sure there was another person in the crowd to hand my wallet off to if they had snagged it.
Hey folks. Just as a heads up I am off to my Mardi gras adventure today. I’ll be spotty in posting for about a week. Have a good one!
Alessia rips into the formless ebon ooze that swallowed Justin, fighting side by side with Karrin. She advances up the short stairs leading to the now-empty pool the horrors had hidden in.
Two of her sword cuts hit home, although this ... thing is tough. However, its rancid life force does flow into her. She is granted several visions - ranks of misshapen humanoids worshipping at a mountainous outdoor henge, screaming people being consumed by fire in a statue's hollow belly, a formless swirling chaos that opens into a giant aphibianesque eye. The feeling of this life force entering her system is .. greasy.
It’s a magnum Opus, dude. I relish those posts as a DM. When you guys finally got to the Orcus reveal in Erelhi Cinlu, that was so cathartic.
I think we all sync so well in that we use this format to scratch the frustrated writers itch. This format is the only way I have found to consistently get around my writers block. I enjoy writing, but I have a hard time putting a whole story on paper. Dave got me to do my last one I managed (a creepy story about a girl discovering her disturbing family legacy) I love our collaborative story. If you all didn’t post as much as you do this game would have likely dried up and died long ago.
The DM twitches his prehensile tail and blinks the 4th wall back into opaqueness
Merry Yule all! Today on this shortest day of the year, I’d like to wish you all peace and success in the coming Winter season. I’m headed on the road for the Yule weekend, so posting might be spotty. At this point you can possibly do some RP with Coyote coming into the scene. I’ll be back full bore by next Wednesday
Merry Yule all! Today on this shortest day of the year, I’d like to wish you all peace and success in the coming Winter season. Unfortunately we have started a new combat just as I am headed on the road for a Christmas trip. But, we should have an opportunity to get our first round moves called out. I will have a fairly lax week next week. I will get a map done then.
Hey all. Bit of a hectic week. You may see I have updated some of my threads, but I have run out of time. Fortunately, I should have time to get everything square Tomorrow, In Shah Allah Hope everyone's Christmas/Yule/Chanukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus preparations are going swimmingly!
Hey all. Apologies for the silence. A confluence of bad things, work issues, and holiday obligations conspired to keep me off the boards this past week. However, I should have some time available Thursday-Friday to update. Stay tuned.
