Silversand79's Curse of the Crimson Throne


Play-by-Post Discussion

Scarab Sages

This is discussion thread for the our game. All the rp will be done at google site so is mainly for out-of-game gab.


Male Human (Cheliax) Wizard (Conjurer) 1

Casts Arcane Mark

Also, never used Google site before, so some explanation and patience might be required.

Do have any questions now, did you find the site alright?


Male Human (Cheliax) Wizard (Conjurer) 1

I suppose that would be a good first question. Where is the site? I didn't see a link to it anywhere.

I sent you an email with the link and you should have edit status now.

I want you all to decide on a city contact. Someone that you know that resides in the city, a trusted ally other then a PC. I few restriction must be observed though:

They must be around you level and social class, no one rubs elbows with the Archbanker of Abadar.

They must be accessible, so not out-town or in prison.

I will use this NPC to not only introduce you in the game but help me tell your individual story as the campaign progresses.

Okay, in the site and put in the basic numbers. Would an appropriate contact be the wizard/craftsman that Morvius is apprenticing under?

Also, had a question about the favored class bonus. Morvius took the APG option to learn an extra spell every level, with the caveat that it be at least one level lower than the highest level of spell known. Since a wizard starts knowing all cantrips (except those from the opposition schools), I wasn't sure how you wanted to handle it.

1). Allow one cantrip from an opposition school to be learned?
2). Allow the extra skill point until Morvius learns level 2 spells?
3). Allow one cantrip from an outside source? (Such as the create ice cantrip from the Ice Magic supplement.)
4). Loose any potential bonus until Morvius learns level 2 spells?

The choice is made when you gain a level, but since you know all the cantrips in the core and APG then choosing a below wizard spell at 2nd is pointless. Now to learning a cantrip not in the fore mentioned books, well if it fits the campaign I'll allow it. You'll have to sell it to me. Ice magic sounds like rare magic in Korvosa's subtropic climate.

My city contact is a low level cleric in the Church of Pharasma. After the death of Vhailor's foster father, this cleric became his mentor in both life and faith.

Best fit would be if he is someone who isn't held in too high regard within the church - which helps explain why he is ok with Vhailor pursuing a role as an Inquisitor rather than bringing him into the faith.

I'll polish off the rest of my character on the google site tonight my time (which should be your morning). Are we using max HP at 1st level?


Male

It could either be the person I'm renting the home from, but from my background he should be quite a high level since he's retired, or another trainee from the Sable Company. Someone who did make it, and could be a level 1 ranger.


Hrm. Most of the folks from Kol's old life would likely be hostile (though an instructor or priestwho understands his reasoning is a possibility). As part of the bonus from the Trait: Drug Addict (Friend) is a +2 to Knowledge: Local, I'm going to assume he's been out in the city a few weeks now.

How about:

His first night outside the temple, Kol was wandering through the city with little in the way of a plan to find Lamm. He came upon a shopkeeper being assaulted in a back alley, and immediately found an outlet for his frustation and guilt, beating the mugger bloody, then escorting the shopkeeper home. He now lives above his/her shop, doing odd jobs for rent as he learns the ins and outs of the city.

I can add on as many details as you'd like, but have left it intentionally vague at this point to give maximum flexibility.

Scarab Sages

To those that didn't place this in their backgrounds I need to know where your character is living. You all are living in the section of the city called the Midlands.

Here is a link to Midland housing prices it can be found in the library section of the site.

Scarab Sages

I see the character sections of the google site doesn't have a place for alignment so please add that to the note section of the character in the lower right hand corner.

My Character Sovellyn is done. He rents an apartment suite in the slopes.
Morvious is more than welcome to kick it there at the bachelor pad. Lots of parchment and ink, warm fireplaces, good brandy drink, a good place to practice law and in the wizards case, study magic.

Silver Crusade

If it is all right with you, Silversand, i will spend my last bits of gold on a wand of clw with 5 charges(75gp) and 40 gp for the slopes apartment for this month. that will leave me with a few pieces of gold left to throw around.

The slopes apartment suite will be where Sovellyn resides and practices law. A warm and cozy place with a good amount of room. Lots of merchant visitors from near and far. The house is decorated with antiquities from throughout the inner sea, a smell of fireplaces and rich pipe tobacco gently fills the air.

Sovellyns contact will be a man who is sort of a godfather and confidant to him.
A barrister in maritime and port law, who viewed Sovelynn as the son he never had. A good friend and associate of his father as well. Took Sovelynn hunting and taught him falconry, the basics of sailing and so forth.
Is partially responsible for Sovelynns good taste in drink, food, and pipe tobacco.
Is also very concerned regarding Sovelynns slipping into darkness following the murder of his lover.
Kaius Fornollkom III will be his name. He will walk around with a cane sword and large korvosan hat.

Scarab Sages

I'm good with everything but you knowing Morvius, the game is set so that you are all strangers.

Scarab Sages

Sorry one more thing it your going to be barrister or any other profession in any regard besides a pure student you must put a rank in it. Also you might what to allocate a rank to knowledge nobility which covers sport hunting.


Male Human (Cheliax) Wizard (Conjurer) 1

Sorry, scratch knowing each other from the backstory, then. Is ranks in spellcraft enough for the magical item crafter trade? (Spellcraft is the skill used for item creation rolls, if I recall correctly).

If it will make things simpler, I'll just take the extra skill point per level until Morvius can start learning those second level spells.

Scarab Sages

On the Online Role Playing section of the google site try to keep all conversation to one post by editing the post for each scene.

Combat posts will be broken down into rounds. Look for who posted last in that scene to see if new information was added.

Silversand - just wondering how we handle dice rolls on the google site. Have saved a roll in the Dice Roller (as 'Enter Vhailor #1') for my first Stealth and Perception rolls, but not sure how to translate that over to the RP posting area of the site.

Scarab Sages

You will email me the dice rolls making sure to label the scene and reason for the roll in the comments.

Example

Stealth - Enter Vhailor

Sorry, forgot to mention Sovelynn is fixed.


Male Human (Cheliax) Wizard (Conjurer) 1

Okay, first newbie question: How do you post on that site? I'm signed in and see the maid bringing me breakfast, but don't see a way to respond.

Edit: Nevermind. I take it you want us to just keep editing the same post until you start a new one? I think I understand now.

My condolences. No plans for children, then? :)

Hey Silversand79,
my internet at the base in afghanistan is having problems right now, especially with Thanksgiving. It is slow and times out when I try to edit the page. Paizo still works for messages but barely. This should be fixed soon. Would you like me to email you in the meantime or post here.

Sovelynn will grab the hat and cane and hand it to Kaius when he reaches the door. He will say his goodbye and inform him that he will be over later as promised. Sovelynn will then spend some time with his other guest and finish up on his work. After grabbing lunch with some friends and fellows while brushing up on port related law and regulatory practices, he will head on over to assist Kaius.
