GM:

not really, just as I mentioned earlier when I first contacted you about this, either I would have made friends with her in the Shimmerglens (or more likely the Ashwood, Kreegwood or Sanos Forest in the surrounding area)...which means she could be wandering far outside of her normal territory (fast Google perusal on pack territories can range anywhere from ~9mi to ~600mi-okay maybe still within her area)...or perhaps was chased out for some reason(more likely if she's a loner), or I could have an encounter while scouting away from the caravan.

No, I don't really have any other thoughts at this time.

Not too long ago the Arclight was showing the original one. It was a lot of fun to see that on the big screen again. Incest just doesn't have the same impact unless it's as big as a planet.

Now I want an IMAX presentation of HBOs Game of Thrones mini.

i feel i must repeat myself...

tears and sorrow. not necessarily in that order :P


Just to make clear:

Flexible time will, of course, reset when you reach the Caravan and the next module starts.


Liothonae and Hrithik:
Once again, since you two are in the middle of what is clearly a crucial scene for your characters, and I do not like to penalize people who work, I will undoubtedly permit it to continue after reset if it needs to.

I might suggest you consider at least figure out where it's heading, though, even if you choose to continue to play it out as well, since it may be important for how your characters interact at the start of the next module. Just a suggestion, not a requirement.


FINAL Loot Division Post of The Brinewall Legacy

Undisputed

Dragon Helm that is the traditional helm worn by Brinewall’s commanding officer (250 gp) <--- goes to Hrithik

Four vials of ink (16 gp) <--- goes to Liothonae

Disputed

Darkwood-and-silver disc decorated with an intricate etching of Brinewall under the noonday sun (0 gp) <--- goes to Hrithik

Hrithik, there is a scroll of False Life, caster level 7, 175 gp value, that you claimed way back which still does not appear in your Loot Tracking section. Please add it in when you add in the items from this division and the other more recent ones.

Everyone, please try to keep those updated, I have to look through all the posts otherwise to see what you've claimed when there's a dispute, which is a pain.

Money

All characters, and the Caravan fund, receive 785.4 gp

Neat! Does this include the aforementioned 225.2 gp?

Hrunndalf's new sheet is online. Something must have gone wrong in the submission process.

Deloreans are so last millennium. We use neutrinos nowadays.

Oh, and I has a fever. DO NOT WANT! :(

No, that is in addition to the aforementioned 225.2 gp, although that amount does include all monies from previous Brinewall loot posts.

Selling the Named Magic Weapon With The Remarkably Crappy Special Power brought in a bundle for y'all.

Sorry to hear you have a fever. :(

Their soldiers are mostly trained to watch for contraband religious items, signs of faith in any gods, preaching of religious doctrine, or evidence of use of divine magic.

Since Alaric carries no holy symbol of any recognized religion, believes in no gods, and preaches an atheistic doctrine, he was uniquely qualified to survive as a cleric in Rahadoum for longer than usual. In fact, the only circumstantial evidence that he is a divine spellcaster would have been one they were incapable of detecting -- his clerical aura, which itself can only be detected by the very divine magic they do not allow.

I imagine he was probably safe unless he did something idiotic like try to heal someone. Even then, there is the chance the family of whoever he healed might have been grateful enough to shove him under the deckboards of a small boat in a few inches of bilgewater for a few weeks to get him out of the country.

Rahadoum isn't insta-death. They don't even kill everyone they arrest; some are jailed or even just exiled if the evidence is weak.

It's just insanely, insanely dangerous.

Liothonae and Hrithik:
Addendum to the above; I think my preference would be that when the new thread starts, you continue to post "Brinewall" events in the OLDER thread (Journey to the West) until you are finished, just to keep everything neat and tidy.

"If you go to Z'ha'dum, you will die." I'd explain the significance, but in case you haven't watched Babylon 5, I don't want to spoil it. Also, in that case, get the DVDs and take a week off at once. :P

Gandalf the Grey got a similar prophecy before he became the White: "If you go to Khazad-Dûm, you will dye." ;o)

Pretty sure Hrithik didn't get that False Life scroll. Lio and possibly someone else had more eagerly counterclaimed, I believe, and since Hrithik couldn't use it to acquire the formula til 4th character level, he let it pass. For time out of mind, the only item Hrithik acquired was the Pretty Panties.

I have double checked this. What you said was "... if Melinda has a more immediate use for the False Life scroll, consider Hrithik's claim relinquished. Hrithik can't add it to his formulary until level 4."

In the next loot division, it is listed as going to you. I would assume from this that I checked and she did not have a more immediate use for it. It is not listed on her character sheet.

If that was my screwup, apologies, but for now I would assume that it is yours and should go on your sheet. You can put it in your formulary at this level anyway, and it is not among the spells you just got.


(But Melinda, please weigh in, because there's also the possibility that I just missed Hrithik's post and it should have gone to you, of course.)


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

Nope, I thought it was pretty clear that it was intended for Hrithik.

Which makes the times Mel and Hrithik have claimed the same items: 3-0 in favor of Hrithik. :)


Female Elven Urban Druid 9, Brightness Seeker 1

Lio can't use the false life scroll, so did not claim it (unless i offered to carry it?) i don't think so, though. But I could be wrong.

Hrithik and GM:
Ry - thanks for the 2nd postponement. :)

In regards to where I think this is heading. Well, there are several possible conclusions that I can envision, and at least one of them doesn't end badly...

So first, because with Lio's luck, things will end badly... here are the most likely things that would make this end badly:

1) Hrithik sees how badly scarred she is all over, scars that resemble the work of nearly being flayed to death by a wire and leather cat-o-nine tails, he realizes that she has a lot more in common with his first love, freaks out since he still sees so many of the memories, and things do down hill from there...

2) He likes the scars, confuses her with the girl from his memories, possibly calls her by the other girls' name, and things go downhill from there.

3) He stops, for whatever reason.

Hmmm... ok those are the only 3 things I can really think of that would throw this for a loop...

Otherwise, Lio is really, very much interested in what Hrithik is doing right now, and really does not want to stop. If it is not obvious by now, she has never had such a wonderful pleasant experience in her life. If things end well, she will likely still be averse to touch that she isn't prepared for, be filled with doubts and the fall-out from the nearly 9 or so decades she spent as a slave, still be acting the way she has been all along, although she will certainly be a little different around Hrithik, considering what a wonderful thing he is currently giving her. She would definitely make sure he got back to the caravan safely, if after this he is still not back to his senses, though continued lost in memory-ness on his part, would make her doubt that what she just experienced was real, since it would make her think that he didn't really see her, and was possibly reliving something from his past. So if that was the case, that could color future interaction somewhat.

Does that help? :)

Small price to pay to avoid watching another buzkashi game.

And for when we get to a place where we can use filthy lucre, the caravan fund has: 1370.6 gp

And arcane sight distinguishes between arcane and divine sources.

I vote for spinning rims and a decent sound system.


Yes, but arcane sight would only work *if* he cast a spell. When he's just standing around, it's wouldn't have been a problem.

Speaking of the Caravan, those keeping the sheets, it's time to level it to 4th. The feat will be Extra Wagons. Subtract one set of stores to reflect when various people took time off (yes, this is in addition to the extra stores people bought which were never entered on the sheet.)

However, it is very possible that you will also need to add some extra travellers soon, so if you want to hold off until that determination is made and do it all at once, that's fine.


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

Sheet is updated except for new people, will post when choice(s) are made.


The Brinewall Legacy is now complete.

The new thread for Night of Frozen Shadows can be found at THIS LINK: ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS

Only those who have gotten special permission to complete a scene should continue to use the older IC thread.

Oh, I do expect you to keep the last word. ;)

Actually, Hrunndalf's not that much of a fanboy of the gods either. As an Oracle, he's hardly in a position to question the existence of divine powers or their meddling in people's lives, but that doesn't mean he understands what's happening to him, or why, or who's behind it all, and whether they mean well.

Yeah, sure, go ahead.

I have double checked this. What you said was "... if Melinda has a more immediate use for the False Life scroll, consider Hrithik's claim relinquished. Hrithik can't add it to his formulary until level 4."

Yeah, by "more immediate use" I meant: "any time of any kind she'd appreciate the bonus hps before Hrithik reaches 4th level", because yes the entire dungeon we were just in. Thus: never thought he had it, never logged it.

So, would Mel's player like her to have a 7th level scroll of false life? :-). Totally hers if you do. If not, I think the local alchemist will soon discover a scroll of something crammed into a sock and will be able to make a handy potion for Mel shortly ...

Melinda wrote:

Yeah ... given the way claims are set up, but the way treasure in this AP has been dished out, that pattern may hold until infinity. Mel gets to grab nice snazzy wands of big nastiness, while the alchemist-appropriate treasure has been roughly around the same level as the Halfling-appropriate treasure. So every time a small sentimental item pops up, worth almost no cash compared to a wand, Hrithik is at a lower total value.

Unless he bids on an expensive but useless-to-him item solely for the cash value of it, or unless the AP starts dropping spellbooks or buckets of non-group potions at some point, I'm not seeing Hrithik pull ahead in total cash value claimed. Which means he is primed to win every sentimentality sweepstakes, forever, while being super-lame in overall eq (exception: Kalimac is even more chumped :-) )

Is that something worth ruminating on, meta-level?


Hrithik Ranbhir wrote:

I am confident that over the course of many levels, things will even out.

Your lower claims now mean that when something Nice comes up that several people want, including you, you are far more likely to get it. E.g., Kalimac snagging the Circlet of Persuasion.

I think it'll work out.


Hrunndalf -- looks like your equipment still needs to be updated; your wand of shield is still the old one, and the new guisarme isn't in the equipment list. Also, that +1 morningstar is cold iron, I believe, that should be noted.

In addition, the scroll of CMW you were carrying around as party treasure got used in Brinewall.

Once all that's updated, Hrunndalf is APPROVED.

By the way, I'm retconning the name of my Plot-Relevant Weapon to Þrumublað. It's less transparent than my previous choice, and it contains both a thorn and an edh for added coolness. The Skald meaning is "thunderblade".
