I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on your game for now, Val. I'll keep an eye on it, if you don't mind, but I don't think I can post at the frequency you're asking for right now, though.

Sorry I've been so quiet, everyone; it's just that I've been reading what everyone's had to say here and been thinking it over. I haven't been saying anything because I really don't know what to say, but I'll be here to listen as long as I can. Drula, I'm here for you as well; like you and some of the others, I've been dealing with some depression issues for the past few years as well. I know how hard it can get when you feel like no one cares, even though you know there are people out there who do. Even though I know you're not religious, I'll do my best to keep sending prayers and good thoughts your way too. Even though all of us haven't met face-to-face, I think that we've been playing long enough to consider each other friends, at least in the online sense. Don't worry about rambling, or saying too much, or making some of us feel bad about what's going on with you; that's what we're here for--not only to play together, but to listen and help out our fellow players in any way we can, even if it's just being there to listen, without judgment or criticism. Val, I'll consider joining your game, if you don't mind; I think I might wait a little while until I can get things settled down to a normal schedule in a couple months, though. Anyway, thought I'd jump in and let you all know I'm still alive; I'll try to be here to listen, even if it's only once a week or so. I feel like I should apologize for not saying anything sooner, and I hope you all forgive my silence, as it were. I hope to hear from you all in the future, and I'll try to stay in better touch. Until then, take care.
I'm afraid I'm going to start appearing less often once again, thanks to finals and summer coming up. As always, I'll try my best to keep in touch and stay up-to-date with the game. JZ, you have my permission to NPC Tari while I'm gone if I'm not posting fast enough. Apologies for any problems this may cause.
After her system has recovered from the shock, Tari finally decides to speak up. She thinks about Xian's question and responds, "I'm not sure; I don't doubt that there are things out there that can do this, but I don't think I've ever run across one..." She then thinks back to her training with Madam Mvashti. Surely the wise woman would have had something to say in her lessons... Knowledge (arcana) check:
Tari grimaces as she enters and reviews the scene. She had seen a number of gruesome sights since she had become an adventurer, but none of them had compared to this. This was unthinkable; no one deserved to die like these poor people. The sorceress can't help but stare at the remains, speechless.
Perception check:
Survival check (untrained):
To answer your question, Xian, yes, I took care of it at character creation. I don't remember what stat I added it to (might have been charisma, given my class), but I think it's already taken care of. I remember Dread mentioning something to me about it, so I probably took care of it soon after that. Welcome back, Kiera...it's good to know that we didn't lose another player. :) I'd have to agree with you on the suggestion for PH, but these are working just fine for me for now. In fact, I like the measures Paizo's made to allow PbP gaming on their boards. I'll have to try starting up a game here someday... I'd volunteer to help with rules clarifications, but I haven't run PF yet, so I'm not quite aware of all the changes.
"You can count me in as well. I know you had nothing to do with this atrocity, Val, and I want to help find those responsible and bring them to justice," Tari replies. "I'd be happy to discuss it with Madam Mvashti...if anyone in town would know about that symbol, it would be her. I'll ask her first thing in the morning. Is there anything else I can do to help?" she asks the group, including the Sheriff. The thought that someone would falsely accuse an innocent person, let alone one of her friends, disgusted the young sorceress. Something had to be done, and soon.
That works for me, since I don't get much this time around in terms of leveling up (BAB increase, more skill ranks, a Will save increase, more spells and more chances to use them). As far as transitioning between the two adventures, Tari will join her friends in mourning Camryn and Shelalu, and wish Khaine the best in his travels. These tragic events will probably push her to learn more about her abilities so she can help protect the others better in the future. And for my background, I'll give you the short form: Tari was a normal farm girl, living with her elven father outside of Sandpoint.She started to develop magical powers and hints of her draconic heritage in her teenage years, like all sorcerers do, but kept it a secret from her father to keep him from becoming ostracized by the community. Later on, she decided to travel with her friend Tess(the factotum we had before Varus) to the city to help her regain what rightfully belonged to her family. Tari lost track of Tess during the goblin raid on Sandpoint. Afterward, she learned from Madam Mvashti that the powers and physical changes that she had been experiencing were because of the draconic blood in her veins (skin gradually getting more of a bronze tone, nails forming into claws, magical ability, etc.), and that she was a sorcerer, not a wizard like she had thought. Tari's with the group to help protect Sandpoint and her allies, and if she can use her "gifts" to do so, so much the better. level changes:
HP: +2 HP (one from favored class, one from Con mod)making that 28 HP total BAB goes from +1 to +2 Will save goes from +3 to +4 Spells/day: cantrips at will, 6 1st-lvl, 3 2nd-lvl Spells known: 6 0-lvl, 3 1st-lvl, 1 2nd-lvl Took Acid Arrow as my one 2nd-lvl spell, Detect Poison as sixth 0-lvl spell Skills: 4 ranks (2+Int) 2 ranks in Perception (now +5 total) 2 ranks in Spellcraft (now +6 total) Ability score increase: Strength (from 11 to 12, new modifier +1) Favored Class: Sorcerer (+1 HP/level in this class) I think that's everything. I'll have the sheet up in Tari's profile. If I missed something or you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Sheet is still on its way. For this one, I'm making a separate sheet including my level 3 changes, since we don't know when Dread will be back and we don't know how (or if) he's going to keep going with that part of the adventure path. I hope that's OK. Not that I don't trust either of our DMs, but I want to make sure I don't get my stats confused.
Likewise about the avatars...this is the best one I could find. I'll try to be ready to go as soon as possible, but I might be delayed, mainly because of school. My apologies in advance. |
