Okay, so, Yunica, sweety, I love you, you know that right? Right.
H'okay. Let's just be clear: your skillset is, like, the worst. Just, the worst. Granted, Toal is creepier and a little more anarchic, but he's got the speed to pull it off. Hugo has the range to be a bit slower than you. "Well-rounded" can translate into great gameplay... but it's just not for you. I like your damage though, that's nice.
(Also, I adore everything else about your story! Squee~!)
Hey, Ys-fans. Are any of the three stories "more canon" than the others? 'Cause [spoiler!] in Hugo's story, which is nice - sure, it's missing Yunica's [spoiler!] moment, but it's quite sweet seeing [spoiler!] at the end with her.
Otherwise, from what I can tell, it's just a matter of who [spoiler!] and who doesn't... and, of course, "which" character "actually" scales the tower successfully.
I have to say, though, Hugo is a lot nicer/better in Yunica's story than he is in his own.
Also: two of three done! I'm totes going to super easy for Toal, though. I'm not even ever gonna try for threexNightmare. Blech.
(I seem to be getting everything else, though!)
Oh, also, crashing: apparently it's because, after over-leveling Yunica to around 50-or-so, running past all the enemies puts too much of a strain on my video card. Sigh. Back to killin' I went. But I did it! And made it all the way to [BIG BOSS]! And won! Woo~! :D

I have to take the kids to the Dentist today should be fun.... Ha! I made a funny :-)
Nice thing about Children's Dentistry offices these days is they're like little amusement parks, with drilling :-)
Luckily we have a great dentist that doesn't try to shake us down every time we go in, and is super good with kids :-)

Okay, I have some time for a recap now.
That status has been both a blessing and a curse, considering the fact that the deity of humanity, Zarus, is Lawful Evil and his followers have managed to push through laws that have made non-humans second class citizens at best. By the time the adventurers arrive at the capital of Valche, the non-humans are living in slums. Anyway, the royal family is having two even bigger problems. The church of Metrean, the god of civilization and fire, has had an artifact stolen from its cathedral. To make matters worse, the crown prince has gone missing around the same time. While the Metreanians blame the Zarusians for the theft, many more believe the prince ran off with the key.
Having his hands full with politics, the king hired a group of adventurers to find the prince and the key. They were not heard of in a while, so it was assumed they had failed. Here is where the player characters come in. They were hired by the local marquess to help out, and they decided to take up the mission, each for their own reasons. After some run-ins with various organizations vying for power in the area, they tracked the key and the prince down to a pseudo-nation below the capital, a dreadful patchwork city called the Midden, hidden in the mountains bordering Elefris and a few other nations. There, they dealt with the leader of a thieves' guild called the Mirkbloods, who were led by the Mirkblood Savant, a Worm that Walks comprised of leeches. They also dealt with an evil sorcerer and his assistants, taking back an artifact that was stolen from a kitsune ninja clan that one of the player characters happens to be a part of.
Two months have passed since the prince and the key were returned. Living conditions for the non-human residents of Valche have quickly improved, and most of the Zarusians have been driven out, though they had sworn to have their revenge on the meddlesome adventurers. Other threats seem to loom about though, as a red dragon has awoken on a nearby mountain, and some new criminals are trying to assassinate the local nobles. Speaking of such, they are not sure how to feel about the sudden power shift, considering many of them are human and Zarus IS very pro human, while only two of the five player characters is a human. The king needs to decide what to do about quite a few things, and is probably hoping that the player characters that helped out with his son would be willing to give his nation a helping hand once more. He did get them a nice guildhouse and noble titles as a reward for their services, and the marquess has faith in them as well.
Speaking of the characters, they are...
- Sage, a Human Oracle who looks like Dalai Lama
- Heglash, a Human Cleric of Lady Meidred, the goddess of Blood
- Xyltats, an Elf Cleric of Sumgudd, an eastern god of the Sun
- Driana, a Tiefling Alchemist, who converted to the church of Metrean
- Seo-Yoon, a Kitsune Ninja who was sent to retrieve an artifact but sticked around for adventure
While most of the player characters are either Lawful Neutral or Chaotic Neutral, the tiefling recently changed from Lawful Evil to Neutral Evil.

The full name of the campaign was "Why do we have three Clerics?". On another side note, the marquess' daughter Dalia has been an amusing NPC in Three Clerics.

...Paizo?
Do you want a new edition?
Come on let's start from core
The ultimates are broken splat
And unchained is crap
It's like there's no QA!
We used to have a good game
But now it's not
I wish we could start from scratch
Do you want a new edition?
We could give Fighters superstition
Go away
Okay byyyyyyye...
Do you want a new edition?
Or maybe one with different rules?
We need something fresh that's not overplayed
Before we all switch to playing Vampire Masquerade
--Hang in there, Whitewolf.
It gets a little silly
All these high end builds
Just watching Barbarians fly...
Paizo?
Please, I know you're listening
People are asking what you'll do
They say "Have courage" and I'm trying to.
The APs make me blue, they're all passe...
We have too many problems
Past level twelve
What are we going to do...?
Do you want a new edition?

I've been consolidating all the data I've collected for the family tree (genealogy is one of my hobbies) and found out some interesting things, such as my parents being 7th cousins once removed and being able to trace an uninterrupted line of ancestry back to the year 30 AD.

It's true. This one post has itself endured for like, the whole three years that I took off.F+&&, was it really that long?
I just checked--two years and four monthsish. Still, it's been a while.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
During that time, my son grew from a one-and-a-half year old (1 yr. 4 mos.) to a three-and-three-quarters year old (3 yrs., 8 mos.).
... and my second son was born (~ 6 mos. ago). :D
So, I'm guessing that [SECRET]'s ending is the "canonical" one - or "most canonical" anyway, as I'm not entirely sure that many specific events throughout the whole thing isn't "filtered" by hallucinations from all those gasses they keep talking about - which is interesting, as so many people [SECRET], unlike [SECRET] and [SECRET]. A kind of a twist, considering who we're talking about.
Yunica is still my favorite character. Toal has friggin' amazing mechanics, though. He's an anarchic mess (which makes sense, really), but he's still totes amazing. Hugo's was the most irritating to play through, because I never liked him until the end... and yet his mechanics were, quite simply, the best. He was the most powerful character there, hands down, specific damage numbers aside, because of his ranged attacks and controlled play style.

So we basically made characters and I thought, with player input, to do second darkness ... until I remembered how many eight legged critters there are and that I have a very agoraphobic player that even precludes me using or hinting of the nasty little (big) things as monsters, critters, and even window dressing.
So we will (I hope) get to begin the story... whatso ever it will be, this week. Which may cause me to have to pull stuff out of my ass. Not that I haven't before, but I prefer not to.
Thinking a frogish theme ala Wastri. the bigot deity with his bullywug slaves and Slaad as his divine messengers.
As with most things I tend to have half an idea and then can't finish it out. With the stress I've been under (for too long) I'm lost as to where to go from here. I want at least a baseline to work from. Any ideas?

Far in the north realm, the call has gone out. Adventurers wanted glory and riches await.
In this land of month long nights, some villages have been wiped out by a plague of revenants. This land has long been rich from the ancient Mithril mines. From which you are allowed to pocket what wealth you can find. As long as you kill the revenants, that threatens the region. While you are there, you should beware the great ice giants in the area as well as the cold wastes of the swamplands.
You meet and meet the other party members on the great air ship that takes you to the land of ice and snow with the midnight sun and the hot springs.

H'okay, I'm not gonna lie.
Dumb as it was (even at the time), irritatingly preachy and unconvincing as it was (even at that age), and over-the-top corny as it was (even at that era), I watched Captain Planet way back when. Not religiously, but enough.
And as exceptionally stupid as it is, possibly for nostalgia only, and possibly just because there's a draft right where I'm sitting, I got chills of "coooooo~!" watching this, despite (or maybe "because of"?) it having every one of the aforementioned traits.
I dunno, guys. Am I losing my discernment? Cynicism? Am I just waxing nostalgic? Or was that fan-made trailer actually... fun? Cool? Some combination? Weeeeiiiiirrrrrd.
However, we were speaking of Game Theory earlier, and, speaking of Captain Planet and MatPat...
(It... it's glorious...)

I'm OK. I'm finally coming out from under a massive workload (knock wood and other things to ward off ironic workload increase because I mentioned it).
Tomorrow, my daughter and I travel to Tennessee to see my sister's high school gradutation. Then on Monday, I drive down to Atlanta to make a visit to my home office. Then, on Thursday, I fly to Seattle for PaizoCon.
I hope you all are doing well!
