i think what would be funny
tho keegan would pick on them for wearing masks
LOL
Although, if he had a catch phrase, maybe something like "Holy Halfling!" it might work.
also LOL
Gotta say this new addition(s) is looking fun already!
Kezial Tahr, welcome aboard. Just wanted to make sure you understand that Effan's opinions are not neccessarily those of his management. In general he considers longshanks to be too tall, smelly, and stupid. Although Jaden and Keegan have shown themselves brave and solid in a fight. And Hozs is truly likeable.
Don't know how many back pages you've read, but Keegan can be pretty abrasive too and scary and disgusting and ---. But he is a work of RP genius. Just don't take it personally if Morganst gets a little hazing for about 10 or 15 pages.

if you only get 10 pages you should feel shortshrifted. O:)
i have been looking in a few of my old books
and we have a group that might make good use of a halfling war-wagon
3 more halflings =/< and they would beable to man it without normals
that is from sword and fist, a book that was not worth alot out side of the few feats and new weapons
Mmmmmmmmm Hazing. This could be fun. :D Even as the victim!
I might be on a small break. While I did not get into the top 32 of RPGSuperstar, my name still appears on the page. So I am creating a villain and hoping one (five?) of the 32 does not make it on time.
still be reading though O:)

Curaigh, getting picked as an alternate is pretty awesome. Congratulations. Definitely get to work on that villian.
Curaigh, any chance of seeing your wondrous item in final form? I did a quick search, but didn't see it in Clark's feedback thread.
Kail'ar,
I really liked Jaden's idea of using the men he's trained. He should have an in with them. Way to use the background.
i think this is all a great tie in.
Now a little off topic, I am working on a villian, and no not for the superstar contest, i was to late to get one stared. I would like some feed back if possable. so where to start.....
I was trying to think of a villian that i would play, and think back to all the normal super-villians and how they alway catch the hero/bond/hobit.... and hey always seem to be a mix of a spell caster or heavy fighter {with lots of magic extras}. I was going down the bard route, but i have never really played a bard ( i know might make things hard, but bare with me ) I was thinking of a very charming big talker, that has a evilness to burn the village and start a big war with small kindom..... but has a very good 401k plan......
I would like to see the look on the players face, they storm the keep, cut there way thought all the suprisely odd defenders rangeing from holy knights to devil worshipers... to a show down with our villian ( normal monloging you will be defeated bla bla bla).... and the battle begins........ and from the back round a small man walks out,
" umm sir we have a problem, the cook can't get the of ribs for the feast tonight,the beer shipment has not arived and it seems someone ate your lunch."
to Heros"Ok wait a second, i need to deal with this."
to Page"So the ribs and the beer are not here and my dog is sick.... So many things to do and so little time."
to Heros"We are not going to beable to finsh this battle tonight, and tomorrow is the spring ball, so that is no good. Can we do this tusday? No wait tuesday i was burning down your village.... Ok i move the burning to Thursday and we will meet up here Wedsday after lunch."
I am looking to make him have a way with people that makes them want to work for him, to a point where yes he is burn and killing all before him, but on the plus side his retirement plan is great, pay is good and has 3 weeks paid vaction.

Two options Kailar. One (three) 32 will be DQ'ed and you can see my villain. Or all 32 stay 32 and I will post my villain elsewhere. Probably a more common villain than you realize.
The realtom. I was afraid to post my item, lest I do get in because of the whole 'previously published' rule. Once that fear is passed I will post it. Are other alts posting in Clark's thread? I will have to go check...
Fakey, the tie-in is working well.

That would be priceless, but you have to figure at least one of the party will save and ruin the scenario as planned. PCs are annoying that way.

I figured you might be under interdict, but wanted to get the request out there. I can wait a few days or week, no hurries, but I would really like to see the finished item. And I think you're right, the other alternates' items are still under wraps.
Another fun thing you can do with a high Charisma bard is he can always have a bit of the Saint from movie of the same name played by Val Kilmer in it.
It makes having friends all the more easier because everyone only sees what you want them to see.
And remember the big villain though he may want to do it, the act of breaking out into song is not very evil. As many villains have shown us in the past.

However, breaking out into poetry is f~%~ing scary when done right.

I think I managed to make the songs more creepy than Mamma Mia-y. :)
Discussion of DQ happening? Am I out or not!?!
Just to make it clear creepy and evil are not necessarily in the same category.
Though making ears bleed I guess could be put under evil.
Curaigh, I'm still psyched to see your wondrous item in final form?

OK.
I am shy about tooting my own horn (especially as an almost ran).
will post it (and my villain tonight).

Plenty of "barely started runnings" posted their own. But, if you're shy you can email it.

Looking forward to seeing it, please post it here or link to it here! I should've done a combat wand-type of item, maybe a glove that had the same properties as my combat wands.

Yeah, the combat wand is pretty cool. A glove would work.

Never deny the DM *wink*
OK you talked me into it: both are in the almost rans thread.
Love your villan, you so beat me to the punch on evil bard ness. Curaigh, fantasic.
COngratulations, Kail'ar. I hope everything goes well. Happy Healthy Mama and Baby.
Love your villan, you so beat me to the punch on evil bard ness. Curaigh, fantasic.
Thanks--two of three judges recommended it proceed (the fourth never commented) the second hated that I used Absolam (gambled and lost that one :)
more importantly
CONGRATULATIONS PAPA!
Kail'ar, congratulations on your little girl. best wishes for your whole family.
Tom

You know it never occurred to me that using Absolam would be bad. It would be easy to substitute any large metropolis to fit a given campaign, and they have given kudos to some entries for using Golarion. Tough call. I really dug the idea of the whole city collapsing into the ground.

Golorian would not have been a problem, but a city created by a god could not simply be undermined by a gnome *grin*. That said it was only one judge who this bothered (as a Pathfinder creator/expert he has the right :). The other simply said 'change the city' and the third it did not even faze.

Here is the edited and proofread version of Jaden Thorm's journal:
The group's first run-in was an ambush by a bugbear hunting wolves, using a fox as bait. Keegan and Jaden were first in the marching order, and Keegan was just barely missed by a arrow. This was followed by an attack by a flock of razorcrows, who were after a quick meal. Raph and Keegan were the target of the flock, and the flying pests drew blood. Effan and Faldor both drew arms, Effan with his magic, and Faldor aiding the others with his words. Hosz, led by nature's hand, was quick to help the trapped fox.
Keegan’s blood was fuel for his rage, and he charged headlong towards the sniper's hiding point. Jaden quickly drew and fired a bolt into the tree the sniper was sitting in. Raph sent his blade into one of the crows, and Effan sent another to sleep. Keegan stopped the bugbear's retreat with a, and Jaden was able to end the battle with a lucky bolt in the throat of the grey skinned creature. The group was able to save the fox, and Hosz healed the others with his warming magic.
The group soon came upon the great tree that a tatzlwyrm had taken as its lair. None of the party noticed the hiding wyrm, the least of all, Effan's cat, Catharine who was the target of the wyrm's anger. Jaden charged and let his axe bite into the beast's tough hide. Effan, fearing the worst, also charged the wyrm, followed by Raph and Keegan, who wanted to feed his morningstar to the thing. Raph hit the wyrm with a crippling blow to the lungs, filling them with the worm’s ichor. Faldor sent a bolt just shy of the wyrm's head. The beast made a turn to retreat, but Jaden's axe cut the wyrm in two. Hosz again moved, snatching up Effan’s cat and sending his healing energy into the small kitten, saving it from an early grave.
Keegan, meanwhile, felt that Jaden had stolen his kill, and advanced upon him, drawing his weapon. The two had heated words, but Jaden was able to stop the two from coming to blows for the time being. The party found that the wyrm had made the great tree into a resting place of other adventurers. They were lowered down and placed into dirt before the group made for the old hags hut.
The hags hug, a decrepit mound of earth and wood, sat in the middle of a small clearing in the forest. Effigies of sticks stood silent watch around the old hut. The party moved to enter the small shack, with Raph leading the way, and Faldor and Effan less then a step behind. Effan opened the rotten door with a less then stealthy crash. Hosz remained outside "playing horsey" with two of the effigies. Keegan entered the clearing from the other side, approaching the hut from the west.
Effan, Raph, and Faldor, having entered the small hut, searched its contents for the rat tail. Suddenly the overly large pot in the hut and the effigies outside sprang to life,. The pot charged Effan, almost grabbing up the gnome. Raph moved to defend the small spellcaster, but his blows seemed to have little effect on the hard stone pot. The effigy Hosz was playing with head-butted the druid in the stomach and groin.
Hosz fought off the effigies as they converged on the party, and Effan quickly exited the hut while Raph kept the pot busy. Keegan tried to take the battle to the pot, but did not seem to be able to land a single blow. Faldor and Raph just managed to avoid blows in the hut, but Effan, safe from the pot, was knocked out by one of the stickmen. Jaden ended up in a battle with two of the stickmen, but none could seem to land blows upon him. Raph slipped out of the hut, and scored a hit against one of the stickmen. The pot exited the hut on its ponderous feet, and scooped up Faldor with its large open mouth, knocking the small bard around the inside of its belly. Like a demon from the pits, Keegan charged the pot, and struck it with a massive slam from his morningstar that sent a crack down its side. Becoming accustomed to Keegan's attacks, Jaden also charged the pot, and struck it, but only seemed to chip the rough stone.
Raph cut one of the stickmen down with a flash of steel, but the animated pile of sticks charged the fencer, taking him out. Keegan was also swarmed by the stick men, and went down when they attacked him from behind. Jaden sent another swing into the pot, taking more stone from its lip. Hosz fought off two more of the stickmen, and sent his healing power to the fallen members of the party. Effan went on the attack again, reinvigorated by the druidic magic. Faldor had taken a few bumps from in the pot moving and throwing him around, but the storyteller was able to get the feel for the heaving and bucking. He was drove his dagger into a crack, twisting it open. Jaden saw the deep crack and sent his axe into it, splitting the pot wide open. Hosz sent another effigy to the ground with his staff. The party then converged on the last of the stickmen and sent it to the ground for good.
Upon searching the hut, they found the rat tail, and set up camp for the night. The party spent the night out side the hut, and made for the dwarven ruins at first light. They made it almost to the ruins before night fall, and again, set up camp for the night. The night, however, was broken by howling from a pack of wolves. Jaden and Keegan rallied the party. Faldor was quick to draw and fire his crossbow, followed quickly by Jaden's rapid draw of his own. One wolf went down in the darkness. Effan and Hosz came to the light of the fire, with Effan casting light on a stone, and throwing it to add light to the night. Hosz cast his magic and readied his attack. Raph and Keegan went for their swords.
The wolves were quick to the fire, and attacked Hosz and Raph, knocking the forest-speaker to the ground and taking a piece out of Raph. Faldor, having unloaded his bolt, let his voice dance over the wind, sending a calming sleep around the fire circle. Hosz let out a blood-curdling scream as he struck one of the wolves. Effan, having thrown his light stone, went to grab his crossbow, but instead, took his staff and swung at the wolf attacking Hosz. Jaden snapped his axe to his hand, and swung at Hosz’ wolf, but to no effect. The other wolf snapped at Ralph, but missed the quick man. Jaden, seeing his axe miss the first wolf, snapped a second throwing axe to his hand, and split the wolf’s skull, ending it fight. The last wolf turned to run from the light of the fire, but Ralph send a bolt into its heart.
Hosz tried to stand, but was stopped by a wound in his shoulder. He sent magic into his arm, stitching his flesh shut. He then took care of Jaden and Ralph with his healing power. Jaden began cleaning the wolf hides with great care, attempting to craft a helm from the head of one of the wolves. Even with Effan’s help, this took the better part of a day. The night was uneventful, and they were able to reach the dwarven ruins that morning.
The group found a spot to use as a fall-back point from the ruins, and lightened the load by caching some of their gear. They then made for a gap in the wall, which led to the courtyard. Upon inspection, the well in the courtyard held a dead explorer, who was apparently slain by a large beast. The dead man’s pack held a few tools and trinkets, as well as some coins that were distributed among the group. After the party had finished with the body, they headed into the ruined building.
They entered the old ruins from the courtyard, and saw a long hallway with a few doors. Faldor leading, the group came upon a door and entered to find some of the mushrooms they had been seeking. Seeing his success, Faldor tiptoed to the door across the way, and with a little shove, opened it. The party found a long-dead dwarven follower of the dark dwarven god. Otherwise, the room was mostly empty. The party kept going thought a set of double doors, with Effan, Hosz, and Faldor leading. Suddenly, a darkmantle dropped down on Effan from above. Effan stabbed out with his dagger, while Hosz and Faldor dealt with a second one that had descended to the floor. Keegan stepped in and cut the creature from Effan with almost unnatural skill, and the darkmantle was slain by a blow from Jaden's axe.

Thank you very very much. I have updated to the story todate.
If you can't tell, when i get going, i am hard to shut up. I had gotten to the point i even plan to keep useing our little game by adding to the story on my own. I just got the darkmoon vale pdf, and it adds alot of detail to the area. I even have plans to us everyone as inportant NPCs. I will have to keep you all informed.
Oh and to our DM, if i can figure it out, i will send you the pdf, if you should want it.An e-mail that would be fantasic.

I have Darkmoon Vale and all that. I pretty much have everything Paizo made. Fanboy and all that. Thanks though.
Fakey, got a small problem.
i think this might be another dead by pot battle
i hope we all don't blow alot of rolls..... and get eatten

Fakey, got a small problem. ** spoiler omitted **
You may know who the opponent is but I have changed up the entire adventure to accommodate my vision and to personalize it to the group, so the motivations and the end results of this opponent are not going to match the standard issue module plot.
I hope I am changing up things enough to keep you guys (that may have read the module) guessing but I still plan to (mostly) use the book enemies, just changed up a bit. I tend to swap out magic gear, add some mooks (the stickmen in the Hag's grove), or change out enemy class levels a lot. This is Pathfinder RPG, baby! Things are different now! ;P

Cool. Changing stuff up is good. Save the werewolf. Save the world!
I was just freaking because metagame I knew it was probably a werewolf and the silversheen was burning a hole in my brain, but it wouldn't have been right for Effan to just grab the stuff and hand it out to the melee types.
It shouldn't be a problem from here out. I stopped reading that PbP pretty soon after the encounter at the orphanage. (The PbP may have met an early demise.)

Yeah, I figured that killing the were-girl is a shame in the real story and that her backstory with the orphanage was a bit....dark, so I thought I would give some chance at helping her out and having some light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't figure in some really nice rolls and a great use of 'Animate Rope' to make it really easy, but hey.....I roll with it. Hope it worked out good for all....I know I liked the way it turned out.
loved it all...
mind me not to piss the dm off... ever
or the death you will think up
Just practicin' my descriptions.....too much?
The transformation? No, man. That was incredible. Sometimes I can string together 2 or 3 sentences I like, but never big blocks of text like that.
Please, sir, may we have some more ?
Been a visual treat playing through your game Fakey, and the other players make it even better.
i have to ask..
are we going to have to change to the d21 system soon?
it looks hard to understand...
I was wondering if Invisible Castle will support it or not.
I, for one, am really excited about the d21 initiative, and look forward to the d22, d23, ... and d4000 expansion rules. I'd also like to see the integration of the My Little Pony RPG rules into the d21 system.
Kailar? did your drop are you are planning to drop out of the Savage Tide campaign?
