*paranoiacally stakes Lorant, just to be safe*
LOL
...this gives me a really fun idea for gameplay.
Re: informing Kendra about what we saw...my (and Ella's) impulse is to Shield the Poor Dear as much as possible. Which I realize may not actually be a good idea, but there you have it. If other people think that she'd be helpful in figuring things out, Ella won't contradict anyone or try to get them to stay silent on that front.
Level up! Woohoo!
*cue final fantasy victory theme*
How were we determining HP on level up again? I don't recall if we discussed it.
Thank you! Out of curiosity, has anyone kept track of our Trust points? Like, at all?
Level Up Summary
HP Gained: 7?

+1 Fort & Will Saves
Lay On Hands: 3/day, 1d6 of healing!
Divine Grace: +CHA modifier to saves!

+1 Sense Motive
Ella's been bumped up to level 2! She's a big reader, and she attacks any problems set before her...which is why she invested a skill rank in Linguistics this level, in the hopes of helping Judah with his conundrum.
My question to you, Judah and WhtKnt, is: would it be too straightforward, unbelievable, whatever, for her to take the language that's on Judah's pendant as her new language? If you want to play that out now/soon, I'll do that, but I can also see waiting on that for a while...in which case I'll just take some other language (probably Necril or something) for the moment, and start building up her bonus.
Mathus is LARGELY level 2. Need to pick some extra extracts still.
As a cryptbreaker Alchemist I get a non standard mutagen. I will use my level 2 discovery to brew standard mutagens.
Not good but not bad. Hope Mathus' aid another will improve it enough that we can glean the info we need.
Sorry - been ill. Should be back soon.
Everybody ready to explore the creepy abandoned prison?
I certainly am! :D
Yeah - I'm gradually getting my s#@! back together
Gotta say, I LOVE how each of us sorta fills a horror adventure niche in this party. There's gonna be something in this campaign for everyone!
Eleanora's got ghosts, Mathus is a kind of mad scientist, Judah's been touched by Lovecraftian horrors, and Lorant's dad was a vampire! We just need to have Cassiel get bitten by a werewolf to complete the package! :P
Please don't give the GM ideas.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell... [twitch, twitch]
Go to Theme Music..
And just so you're aware, yes, Lorant will probably be interrogating a lot of rodents over the course of the campaign! :P
Excellent.
Also, I support the werewolf-adin idea. :P
:(
Though it'd be hard once he gets his paladin disease immunity...
I think Lycanthropy is a curse, actually.
Just wanted to give you a heads-up that I'll be traveling a lot between now and this coming Wednesday; please feel free to bot me as necessary!
'Tis cool! NOW things are starting to get interesting, though!
Ghosts these days, get off my lawn!
Sorry for the radio silence, all--that week was much rougher than expected! :P
But I'm back!
And what a comeback that was! Bravo!
Why, thank you. I try!
Hey everyone! It's Cassiel's (Dragoncat's) birthday! Happy Birthday! :D
Hope it was fun. :)
*pokes forum with a stick*
Ready to keep going?
Yep! Sorry--been pretty busy this week.
For the record, yes, I saw the new movie, thought it was a blast, and was singing along through the entire credits sequence.
And I will continue singing it throughout The Haunting of Harrowstone until it's stuck in your heads too!
Who ya gonna call?
THE UNQUIET SHADE OF MY BROTHER THAT I MURDERED!
No? No? Just me?
Ok then.
Speaking of horror...I'm late to this party but I've been watching Penny Dreadful on Netflix and it's really really good!
I've seen the first few episodes. I like it so far. Frankenstein's Monster is a lot smaller than I expected. I really hope that if they end up dealing with Dracula at any point that he's the most terrifying thing ever put to film.
Been furiously ill for the last few days. Bear with me for another 24 hours.
Hope you feel better, Mathus!
And yeah, the Creature is interesting! I'm into the second season by now and I really love the performances--not surprised to learn that Eva Green was nominated for an Academy for the series. I also love that every one of them is morally complex and/or compromised somehow.
Take as long as you need. We've been patient thus far. :)
Get well. We'll be here.
No matter what, Judah always has the appropriate reaction to the freaky crap going on all around us (Lorant's a nutter. He may be my own character, but he's a nutter).
Hope you're feeling better, GM!
Just to give everyone a heads-up, I'll be leaving on a trip to Ireland with my family to celebrate my brother's graduation this Saturday (the day after my birthday, if you can believe it) and so my posting next week may be a bit spotty. I'll try to keep informed as to what's goin' on in game and try to post if I can, but feel free to bot my character if it's needed to progress.
Thanks everyone! :D
Have fun! I've always wanted to get to Ireland.
I have a proposal-
It seems like we are being hung up when picking which way to go next. In most games the scout handles that. In this one, we're letting our paladin take point, but he seems hesitant to make decisions for the party.
Here's my thought. I'll do the scouting thing and move us along, but we'll assume Cassiel is in the lead until we get to new doors or something.
Sound good? Anyone have an issue with me driving?
