Hrunndalf:
since the post was public, i think a quick public post, maybe stating what Hrunndalf said instead, would be a good idea. that way everyone's on the same page?

Hrunndalf/Lio:
I thought you both had decided to not retcon the scene?

Because you know...

I don't think we need to retcon the event explicitly on the game thread as long as it won't have any in-game consequences later.

Or did I miss something?


Well ... since the Caravan has now taken damage, unless there is a decision not to take the default repair day, I guess y'all are spending a full day and another overnight in Ul-Angorn after all. Happy shopping!

Melinda/Lio:
In her last spoilered message, Lio thought it would be better to make it official in the game thread since the original events were also public.

Oops. Sorry. I'll pay for some repair materials.

Also, my apologizes to the good Hrunndalf (for catching you along with the bad Hrunndalf in my spell...) apparently some spells are better in siege situations and shouldn't be used in a crowd of friends... I'll try not to do that to anyone again. I'll apologize in character as well, as soon as I get the chance and we're out of combat.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle of Battle 10

No problem. It could have worked.

I don't suppose anyone has an Invisibility or a Dimension Door for Ameiko...?

Last time she dropped, she had only taken 27 damage. I wonder whether she isn't dead already.

(Incidentally, how long has it been since Lio's resurrection?)


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle of Battle 10

Also, I'm pretty impressed by Fakedalf's ability to resist a DC 32 trip attempt. Does Airwalk make you immune to tripping? It sounds like that's what he's using. It's not the same thing as flying, is it?

I was assuming he's a ninja and thus does not trip.

It's been several months, so we can definitely use the seal if she does die.

And even if it hadn't been, Rhost has enough raw materials to build a coffin and carry her with us until enough time has passed.


Male Human Cleric 10

When someone dies, we are allowed to chief them, right?


Alaric Graff wrote:

I attempted to look up the meaning of this, and the only slang definition the internet is giving me is a drug reference. You wish to use Ameiko's theoretical corpse as a bong?


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

I did not know the reference either. The term refers to when someone passes out and you draw on their faces with markers.


(Part III is significantly shorter than Parts I and II, I promise.)


You are now 9th level. Woo!


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

This is cool!

Quote:

Using his Strategy ability, Kalimac grants the following bonuses:

Alaric: +2 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round
Zaiobe: +2 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round
Buttersnips: +2 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round
Hrunndalf: move up to his speed as an immediate action once
Mel: move up to her speed as an immediate action once
Lio: move up to her speed as an immediate action once
Rhost: +2 morale bonus on all attack rolls for 1 round
Kelda: +2 morale bonus on all attack rolls for 1 round
Shalelu: +2 morale bonus on all attack rolls for 1 round
Kalimac: +2 morale bonus on all attack rolls for 1 round

Kalimac:
But next time, can Mel have a AC/attack boost, please?

Since she only has one attack and access to expeditious retreat (but a crappy unboosted AC and attack) those are a little more useful for her.

Sorry to complain...


1 person marked this as a favorite.

As a reminder, at 9th level:

Increase your Relationship score with ALL significant NPCS by +1. (Let me know if you hit 31 with any of them.)

Hit points are half die +1 (plus any constitution or optional favored class bonus)

You get another feat.

(Back when you went up to 8th, I did remind everyone to take a +1 to one ability score at 8th level, right?)


Also, please subtract 155 gold pieces from the Caravan fund to pay month 6 wages and month 5 extra duty fees.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle of Battle 10

Hrunndalf should be leveled. I'm using the 9th-level feat for Extra Revelation to get the Combat Healer revelation.


Hrunndalf, before approval, I have the following questions about your character sheet:

Hrunndalf:
Noticed the following things -

1) In the Class/Levels profile slot, please increase your level to 9.

2) Your skill section seems not to have been updated, or to have only partially been updated. Skill rank allocation is still listed for level 8, and I'm not entirely sure your skills have all been updated.

3) Several items are not listed in your equipment, although some are listed under claims -- including the Terra Cotta Warrior, the Shinobi shokozu, and the Claws of the Ice Bear.

4)The stealth bonus for the Shinobi shokozu does not appear to be listed under either skills or skill modifiers.


At this point, I'd like to make a quick note about Relationship scores.

As Relationship scores pass 30, it may become more likely that a perfectly legitimate gift or insult results in no added Relationship Score increase at a given level.

So I'd like to make something clear in advance - this does not mean they didn't like your gift. This does not mean they no longer like you. They have not unfriended you on facebook. They do not like the other person "better".

All this reflects is that they are ALREADY "devoted" to you, and it takes a little more to move up past "they would die for you" than it did to move from "person I don't know all that well" to "person I consider a reasonable friend" way back when.

In order to reflect this truth, I am instituting (or, more precisely, making official) a rule that if a legitimate gift or insult is given that results in no Relationship Score increase at a particular level, it will give a substantial bonus to your roll on the following level.

So in other words, don't think of it as having no result. It DOES have a result, that does affect the mechanic. But you are simply at a stage with them where it is harder to get any closer to them than you already are, and it may take a couple of levels to do it rather than just one.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle of Battle 10

DM:
Made the changes. That's what I get for trying to level up a character while having the flu. ;o)


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle of Battle 10

BTW, is my assumption correct that I'm currently contributing 1x Endure Elements and 2x Create Food and Water per day?

I also marked down 1x Magic Vestment, which I'm casting on my armor once per day when the workday starts (lasts for 9 hours).

Alaric is at 31 with Koya.


Alaric:
Reaching a 31 Relationship Score with Koya will have the following mechanical effects:

1) The trait bonus you receive from her doubles (i.e., you now add a +4 bonus to all Cure spells used to heal damage, and a +2 bonus to attack rolls against foes that threaten Koya.)

2) In addition, your many hours bantering with Koya have sharpened your wits. You gain a +4 bonus to all saving throws against illusions, and a +4 bonus to all Sense Motive checks to see through deception.

Any IC effects, if any, will happen in game.


Male Human Cleric 10

Alaric should be fully leveled.


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

Mel is at 31 with Ameiko.
And Mel is leveled (except for picking a new language)... Xander is not at all...


Hrunndalf Jarlsson wrote:

Having checked, this in incorrect.

The current "dedicated Caravan" spell contributions are as follows:

Hrunndalf: 3 CF&D, 1 Endure Elements
Alaric: 2 CF&D
Lio: 1 grove of respite, 1 goodberry
Spivey: 4 Endure Elements
Koya: 4 Endure Elements

So Hrunndalf is casting 3 Create Food & Drinks, not 2.


Melinda:
For reaching a Relationship Score of 31 with Ameiko, you receive the following mechanical bonuses:

1) Your trait bonus from Ameiko doubles (i.e., you get a +4 bonus to concentration checks, and a +2 bonus on attack rolls made against foes that threaten Ameiko.)

2) By listening to and learning from Ameiko's music, you have also learned some of the secrets of bardic performance. Once per day as a swift action, you may give yourself (but only yourself) the benefits of Inspire Courage or Inspire Competence at whatever bonus Ameiko currently would normally give (currently inspire courage +1, or inspire competence +2; I will let you know if these increase.) Once activated, the effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Relationship Score with Ameiko divided by 10 (rounded down.)

And IC effects, if any, will happen in game.


Hrunndalf - noticed the following additional corrections:

Hrunndalf:
1) You're casting one more CF&W, as noted above.

2) Your CMB for Trip attempts is 1 too low. Because of Maneuver Master, it should be equal to your Oracle Level, Plus Strength Bonus, +2 for Improved Trip. 9+5+2= +16, not +15.

When using the Guisarme to trip, you gain the benefits of Weapon Mastery (Weapon Focus) and the +1 enhancement bonus, so that would be +18, not +16.

3) However, your CMD to [i]resist[/] trip attempts appears to be too high. You use your BAB rather than your Oracle level to resist trip attempts, to you only get the +2 bonus granted by Maneuver Master (Improved Trip). Your CMD vs. Trip should be 24 rather than 26, unless there's something I'm missing.

Once you make those corrections, Hrunndalf will be APPROVED.


Alaric -

Alaric:
Special Melee Modifiers: +1 vs. opponents threatening Koya

Should be +2

Reta's Things:

Add +1 Breastplate and Boots of the Winterlands. Would you like me to get you the list of the rest of her stuff?

Gifts

Is the bottle of Varisian spirits listed there the one you've already used to gift Sandru, or a different one?

Once those are corrected, Alaric will be APPROVED.


Melinda, I'll wait until Xanderghul is done to give final approval, but a few things I noticed:

Melinda:
Fearless (Ex) +4 bonus on saving throws vs fear, +1 natural armor

Please update this for 9th level.

Strength of the Beast (Ex): At 9th level, you gain a +2 inherent bonus to your Strength.

Please note this under special abilities, and that it has already been added in to your stats.

Wall of Fire

This is a fourth level spell, not a third level spell.

Concentration +15 (+9 CL, +4 CHA, +2 trait)
Hero Worship

Please update these with the Devotion bonus.

Weakness Light Sensitivity

Please remove this from the Defense section.


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

So... Increased Damage for 9th level caravan feat?

Kyrademon:
Xander have a preference for a new language?

Current languages knows = Celestial, Common, Draconic, Elven, Halfling, Infernal, Skald, Sylvan, Terran, Thassilonian, Tien

plus speak with animals and truespeech and speak with master

So... can I have a standing request that Xander translates for Mel when we come against a language she doesn't know?

Edit: AND... are we back in lands where the sashimono of comfort is not the only thing keeping us for being in constant pain?

Do we want to switch some of the scouts back to consumption offsetting? Or do we want to keep our security score high?


Melinda Sorn wrote:

That is where things currently stand. So I'll say ... if no one changes their vote or (if they have not voted yet) votes for something else within a day, it shall be so!

Melinda:
He will go with Hongali. And sure, he can do that.

Hrunndalf: 3 CF&D, 1 Endure Elements

OK, I wasn't sure whether that was just the "extreme circumstances" loadout from not being able to scout outside the sashimono.

Endure Elements will work without the Sashimono of Comfort so long as the temperature remains above -50 Fahrenheit. This seems likely to be the case, as you are off the High Ice, you're starting to get past winter, the sun will clear the horizon soon, etc.


Hrunndalf Jarlsson wrote:

That does not automatically change once you no longer need the Sashimono, because that affects things like your Security score, which drops if scouts go back to food gathering duty.

If you want to drop Security in order to free up more spell slots, it needs to be discussed.


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

Okay, I believe that Mel and Xander are leveled. Unless I find more mistakes...


Male Human Cleric 10

GM:
Corrected. Alaric bought 2 bottles of spirits, that is the remaining one for this level's gift.


Melinda, just a few things -

Melinda:
You no longer have the +3 bonus to Stealth for having a cat familiar.

I believe Xanderghul's Will save should be 1 higher because of Cat's Luck.

Cat's Luck should be noted under his Save modifiers.

Please note Xandeghul's +4 racial mods to Acrobatics, Perception, and Stealth in a skill modifiers section, although I believe they have been included in the numbers.

Please pick which deity Xanderghul Communes with. We can discuss if you like.

Hongali should be his "+1 language".

Once those are fixed, Melinda will be APPROVED.


Male Human Cleric 10

GM:
For this level's gifts, would it be possible to pick up spare samishen strings in town? I imagine the cold might have hurt her present ones. Also, I want to look for something truly ridiculous, like a ceramic horse or a snow globe for Shalelu.


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

Kyrademon:
Whoops... I had accidentally added Hongali to Mel's languages instead of Xander's (which has ALSO been fixed).

Think I fixed everything else.

As for deity, I kinda like the idea of one of the Empyreal Lords. However, I want you to have fun with it, so yes on the discuss.

And ... i cannot find how much we should spend of a inn room in Ul-Algorn ~ and is it that much per person/room?


Alaric:
All of those would be available.

Silk string of sufficient quality to be used for Ameiko's instrument costs 20 gp.

A tchotchke for Shalelu costs as much as you want to pay for it (with a minimum of 1 sp for a "completely crappy" one.)


Female Elven Urban Druid 9, Brightness Seeker 1

hi. if Lio starts talking without an accent, she hasn't been possessed, i promise... i might just be using my phone to post with and am not willing to battle auto-correct with every single word. thanks for understanding ;) also, she has been improving her linguistics slowly, so her skills with language are improving.

IMPOSTER!!!!!!!!!

makes pod people noise


Female Elven Urban Druid 9, Brightness Seeker 1

ha! they do have the pod trees here... it could happen.


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

Kyrademon:
Does Mel know all of the normal strength and weakness of ogre mages? And of the oni outsider subtype?

Sorry to be a pain, but since I do know them from running, I don't want to give Mel more info than she should have.


Male Human Cleric 10

GM:
So three strings for a full replacement, correct?

For Shalelu, what I want to get her is a ridiculous ceramic wooly rhino, the kind of thing that a grandparent has. I'll drop 20 GP on it. But then I'll give her the real gift, a replacement bowstring (which is how much?).


Melinda:
She does not. You would know at this point that all oni are shapechangers, and regenerate (usually, but not always, stopped by fire and acid like trolls), and have natural spell-like abilities. With your roll, you would also know that many oni, including Ogre Magi, can fly.


Alaric:
Alaric Graff wrote:

Yes, and the 20 gp will cover all three.

Shalelu has a magic bow. A bowstring of sufficient quality to replace hers if it breaks would cost 1,200 gp and be unobtainable in Ul-Angorn, although you could probably pick one up in Jaagiin in the unlikely event that you decide to still go with that.
