Aleena, you need to make a Dex check, DC 19.
less than 19:
Omdar turns to Aleena, "My dear, I have nothing to hide," spreading his arms wide. 19+:
Omdar turns to Aleena, a smile widening across his face. "A few minutes?" The female soldier begrudgingly goes with the halfling back to the main entrance. They don't go outside, standing just inside the doorway.
Omdar turns to the companions. "Ah, your friends." Waving the guards back, the common room clears of the city guards. "This is a common breeding ground for enemies of the city. Spies had informed us of clerics frequenting this establishment." Picking up and smelling a mug of ale, only to place it back down with a screwed face, he turns to the dwarf, [b]"I mean her no harm, just a few minutes of her time."[/]
"Ah, if only there were more time," Omdar says, turning and nodding to one of the guards who comes over to the bar. "A drink for the lady, and any who are with her," the mage announces. "I would join you, if only to stay out of the heat, but I have business with the young cleric..." Turning in Aleena's direction. "...and a rather stout dwarf it would appear." Omdar hands Coreuth an obsidian ring, with what appears to be a spectre floating about the internal structure of the ring. "Wear this when the guards question you at the manor. They will allow you access. The female warrior clenches her sword hilt, her knuckles white with, as she watches Omdar. The halfling stands idly, her eyes darting from patron to patron as she chews on bits of hair which have fallen out of her topknot.
He stops and turns to Coreuth. "A shame such beauty is wasted in the Puddles." Stepping away from his two companions, he joins Coreuth near the bar. "Perhaps a visit to my family's estate later?" His companions seem unwilling to stop, but do not advance any closer to Aleena.
Knowledge (local): 1d20+8 to try to recognize any of them. You recognize the black-robed man: Omdar Gauthfellow. The family has a long history of dark magic. There is nothing recognizable about the human female or the halfling.
The robed man nearly trips over Dolgrin, regains his footing, and stops his progress across the room only when Hrothgar steps in the way.
Aleena
Spoiler:
You have heard Lazarnid's name numerous times connected to stories of Absalom. He is suspected to be the murderer of numerous nobles throughout the Ivy District.
As Dolgrin approaches the entrance, it opened wide, the latch shattering under the brute force of a city guard bashing it inward. A tall human steps inside from out of the midday heat. Scanning the crowd, his eyes fall on Aleena for a moment, then he steps aside, allowing a trio to enter: a human female soldier, a black-robed male with tattoos adorning his shaved head, and a female halfling sporting a topknot. The robed man steps forward, "Lazarnid, a cleric of Iomedae has been seen here in recent days. Do any of you know him?" The guard leans over to whisper something to the robed man, pointing out Aleena. The small group starts across the common room, zeroing in on Aleena, while city guards block the entrance.
The party regroups, just starting to relax, when the sun worming its way through the grime-covered windows goes dim, and a shadow falls over the inn's common room. Perception checks DC 0 -- visual
Spoiler:
Figures are blocking the windows from outside. DC 10 -- auditory
Spoiler:
The sound of armor clinking from outside. DC 15 -- auditory
Spoiler:
A voice barking orders in short bursts of anger. DC 20 -- visual
Spoiler:
Through a crack in a window, you can see the seal of the city guards on a tunic. DC 25 -- auditory
Spoiler: The voice barking orders: "We're looking for the priestess of Iomedae."
Looking like the google doc idea might not pan out. When we get into melee, I'll just have to update a map each round.
OOC Stuff
You can all place yourselves wherever you like. For a token/miniature, use your first initial, or first two letters of first name, or if your name is small enough to fit, just use that. Heading out to dinner, but I'll put in some more details later tonight, or tomorrow morning.
Looks good
Can we choose one of our traits from the list of Absalom traits in Wayfinder #1? Wayfinder's not core, so that'd be a no.
Being officially supported by paizo.
Just like the thread title asks, is Wayfinder considered core material?
Game thread here. :)
Summer has come to the Inner Sea. These past three years have scattered your friendships around the Inner Sea, collecting knowledge and experience of the outside world which had been kept from you being raised in The Puddles district of Absalom. Those who travelled backed to the island-city via conventional means found the voyage a long one. The winds which would normally carry ships across the sea had been stiffled by the oppressive heat, most of the ships limping in doing so either under physical or magical assistance. The Docks, normally teeming with bodies and activity, is even more so with the ships in port. The alehouses along the harborfront are overflowing with patrons, numerous fights spilling out onto the streets. Heading west, passing through a set of gates, you come into The Puddles. Moving to the centre of the district, towards the giant lake which has left most of the buildings permanently submerged underwater, you find the ground surprisingly dry. The heat of the summer has evaporated most of the lake, leaving the roadways dry enough to not be wading waist-deep to get to your destination: The Weary Dragon Inn. Where your group parted company 3 years prior. When you enter, Corda Riss, the half-ogre woman who owns the inn, stands behind the bar, wiping down the polished wood as her two daughters drag an unconscious patron off the bar and out into the street.
I'm gone until Sunday? I didn't realize that... :P For those who don't want/have any prior connection to each other, we'll be starting out in The Puddles...one of the poorer areas of the city. If anyone wanted to be a pathfinder, that's all good. Adventure won't be revolving around the lodge, but we can work it in if we want to keep gaming after this adventure. You're venture-captain would be Adril Hestram. I'll make the initial post later today/early tomorrow, and give everyone a few posts to get acquainted, catch up, etc.
Oh right...HP...max at each level
Apologies to all (especially the DM). I know I promised to have everything ready by today, however, I pulled a double at work and am too tired to post the things I wrote. As a side note, in keeping with the sense of role-play, I would prefer not to put the full disclosure on these boards as to why my cleric had to perform a Quest of Atonement; preferring for it to come out in role-play sessions with the rest of the group. Does the DM have a off-site mail list that I could send him the whole song and dance of what happened? (such as yahoo or something along those lines) check here: tomthiessen@shaw.ca
Huh...the boards just ate my intro post... :/
Can always catch up later on. ------------------- The adventure starts out with a letter....Everyone meeting up somewhere will be a nice seque.
Discussion is here
The background is supposed to assume that the party has been adventuring together for awhile. We can either go with that, and hopefully everyone meshes, or we can play out some introductions...which would eat up a lot of time and board-space. I could see "mini-groups" starting out, and then meeting up and working together...
The more the merrier....and I'd better stop before I drive myself bananas later...
I'll take on an extra player, just to see the RPing.
I'll press on with spells and equipment tomorrow, but just to keep you... The bard works out beautifully with the adventure setup. For anyone interested, it'll be starting out inside the city...once we have some more solid ideas for characters, we'll start talking about pre-game connections and info.
In.
Room for another? I've seen three sets of stats rolled, so yea, looks like you're good. :)
Is this right? correct-a-mundo
3d6 twice for each stat, discard lowest roll, arrange results as desired.
Stats will be rolled, traits are allowed, and starting gold = 33,000gp.
PBP. 8th-level. Takes place in Absalom. Pathfinder core rules only..no bizarre mindflaying sorcerers or anything. We'll play with 6 characters. First submitted, first in-slot.
Anyone interested in playing 'Gallery of Evil'?
Maybe they've all been locked up in the same prison cell, and have to work together to get out of their cage, and subsequently, prison. Along the way they meet some helpful, and maybe not so helpful NPCs. Have the prison a "sandbox", different paths getting out of their situation, so they're not being railroaded.
I'll have my trooper ready by tonight/tomorrow morning.
How about an imperial-turned rebel? Or a decommissioned battle droid brought back online by a Neimoidian? I could probably come up with a dozen ideas.
Been fighting with this since 3.5, and I still don't 'get' it. Playing a cleric of Sarenrae, and have chosen the Fire and Sun domains...easy enough. I'm pretty sure I figured out the +1 domain spells. I get to choose one spell per level, from either domain to prepare, like a bonus spell. The part that is tripping me up are the abilities. Sun's Blessing (Sun), says whenever you channel... Is it active all the time? Do I have to tell the DM that I'm using it per round? Or Fire Bolt (Fire). As a standard action... Do I basically have an unlimited number of divine bolts? EDIT
I'll just casually observe for now...maybe by the time you guys hit the second mod things will be evened out, and we can discuss me playing or DMing at that point. I could be persuaded to play some of the monsters in a fight though. :)
Sam...that would be cool. The story hasn't actually moved anywhere beyond finding out about the disease, and meeting with Laurel. I'll see about moving to the player role...for now, it's yours to run with.
"Eldest tree? Excellent, when do we leave?" "As soon as possible," Laurel says. She fumbles around the workshop, and gives you each a potion of clw. "It's not much," she continues as she hands them out.
Laurel snorts, waking up suddenly, and flips through the pages of her books, using Zalania's new-found tome as a point of reference, and AHAs! loudly as she snaps the book shut, a long, drawn-out yawn escaping her. "I knew something was missing," she says groggily, stretching as she stands. [b]"You all seem so eager to help," she starts, "and there's already been too much time wasted searching for a remedy. It looks like Granny's book might have an answer. I need something called Elderwood, which her book says grows on the oldest tree in the forest. A picked root called rat's tail--sound like some hoojoo. And finally seven ironbloom mushrooms, a delicacy of the dwarves...or so I hear." She stares hard at each of her 'guests'. "So, do you really want to help, or are you in here to get out of the sun's heat?"
speech and stardust. you two will pretty much be thrown into the middle of the current situation in-game.
