About as well as the Stag Lord lol.

Eitherway, I can see the many things that'll happen and inspire great roleplaying with choices that should be difficult, but rewarding in their own ways.

I should really start building the NPCs in question and setting up my alterations to the 6 person conversion so you don't get more than WBL or more experience than needed for your the adventure.

Same with everyone else. For instance if your character was being chased by someone, that someone might appear, but at the same time I won't make it so obvious as you'd expect it. To quote a line from Dune.

Well I admit I certainly wasn't expecting it. But I don't think that just because he's hooking up with an elf will break him from being the self loathing, maudlin, modestly alcoholic hard ass he's been since we started. I wrote up his sheet after watching Unforgiven with a 750ml of Jameson so I'd hate for all that to go to waste :p

Whoops! I accidentally priced the +1 enhancement to the ransuer as armor so we have an extra 1000g to split! Err... 500g

I am sitting on about 1400 right now.

It's a combination of both the loot we gathered from the Stag Lord's and from Nettles' Sack O' Treasures. If you think about it, WBL for lvl 4 is 6000 so we're probably in the right area, give or take. And we're probably close to a lvl up. *crosses fingers*

I certainly haven't forgotten about your loan. Thought I didn't really need the extra protection from my mithral shirt, it did lighten me up enough to use my alchemy supplies so thanks again!

I figured I'd pay you back in game and after all of the loot stuff is finalized. That way it's one less thing for me to account for when dealing with everyone's junk.


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

No problem, I have it on my sheet and wanted to make sure that I had not missed getting paid back at some point. I have enough that I might start thinking about magic items for myself.

Well of course he won't instantly change as character change will happen over time and I'm sure even if things were perfectly happy he's still be a little self loathing as that is part of his characters. Scars never heal afterall, but over a long amount of time they do fade...to alter something that Poe said at the end of Kung Fu Panda 2.

I just let the characters change at your paces as even when things change for the better a person's personality will not always change that quickly.


Male Half-Orc Slayer (Vanguard)/14 | AC 21 T 13 F 19 | HP 130 | F +13* R +13 W +8* | Init +11 | Perc +23*

I'm not taking the ranseur because it's not a lance. I'm not worried about Enlarge Person because it doesn't really help me on horseback. I can't take a lot of AoOs because I have a Dex of 12, but if I wanted to use a two handed reach weapon on foot or on foot and enlarged, I would use a lance. So yes, per my earlier statements, the ranseur can be sold and I would like to order a masterwork lance (or have a cleric make my current lance masterwork).


Male Orc Expert 5

Don't be afraid of other two handers. You can't and won't be on horseback one hundred percent of the time and reach weapons have their limits. Lances are just expensive longspears off the horse. :)


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

That is why I think that James should take the Longsword +1. He can also fight with it from his horse and get the bonus from fighting from a higher position.


Male Half-Orc Slayer (Vanguard)/14 | AC 21 T 13 F 19 | HP 130 | F +13* R +13 W +8* | Init +11 | Perc +23*

I appreciate the help guys and I take all things into consideration, but continually pressuring me to play my character in a way I don't want to is starting to annoy me. Yes, there are plenty of times I won't be on horseback, and going forward I'm going to be taking feats that are good mounted or not, now that I have the mounted ones I want.

I have a longsword, I have a lance, I have full plate and a shield. That's the character I want to play, that's the character I'm going to play, and rest assured if I see a weapon I want I'll ask for it.


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

So, are we going to sell the +1 longsword? I have no problem getting rid of the ranseur as it is a rather unusual weapon anyway.


Male Half-Orc Slayer (Vanguard)/14 | AC 21 T 13 F 19 | HP 130 | F +13* R +13 W +8* | Init +11 | Perc +23*

Refresh my memory DMAM, do we have access to an enchanter? Specifically I'm looking for somebody who can get my sword and shield to +1. If we go not then I will take the +1 Longsword and start making inquiries on the other two, just want to know before posting to Oleg.

If the base value of the city is raised high enough you can have your weapon enchanted, however it'll end up depleating the available resources in chapter 2 when you guys go out exploring again.

Could he head north to Restov for a few days? Or just buy one in Restov?

Hmm...will have to think about it, but if he has the cash I see no problem with him going up north with Kesten and enchanting his weapon in the city. Restov is a large city so they certainly have the commerce and expertise in enchanting weapons by atleast +1.

Just cause I'm bored with all the love in the air I think this is the perfect time for "Sir Bronwyn" to sing this: when you say nothing at all- Ronan Keating yeah I know, I'm sad cause I like all kinds of romantic songs, bite me :p

Actually there hasn't been much interacting between Carina and Sir Bronwyn since the Stag Lord and their little romantic-kind-of encounter there. Not much has been built from that.

I ask because if either of you are planning to end up with the two together for the best boost to kingdom stats, it'd be better in roleplaying to actually see more of that romance, maybe even a confrontation about it and when the idea of establishing the kingdom the two discuss about how they get married. Of course Jhod could marry the pair in the eyes of Erastil and all other gods.


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

I think I have made several snide comments, and Bron has been hiding. Typical romance in the outback.

lol, true and Carina seemed, I'm not sure...annoyed before the assult on the stag lord because of Bronwyn shareing a "good time" with Kressel who, for the record, shows no real interest in him.

No worries, DM. Elliott Smith has been one of my favorite artists for like 10 years (so much so that my son can attribute his middle name to him) so music for sad sacks is totally legit in my book. Of course this coming from a marginally reformed emo kid...

My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands asses.


Male Human Bard 4

Sorry spent the whole day out of the house, would really like to be here when the sparks went out. About the Carina/Bron stuff, that's been brewing for a LOT of time, including at least one span where he thought she was going for James and slept with Kressel. If it will ever work between them it's anybody's guess.


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

My favorite bands would probably be Rush, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Asia and Genesis. Physically most bands could kick their asses, as far as music goes, it will be tough.

Rush-Hemispheres

Plus, what other group can put a nude guy on their cover and never have anyone question their sexuality.


Male Orc Expert 5

Freddy Mercury was gay and he could still kick their asses.

Probably sing better too.

But then this was Freddy Mercury. He did not die so much as ascend.

Probably. All my favorite bands are built of sad scrawny kids, scrawny and enfeebled old men or dead folks. I'm pretty sure even I could beat any of them in arm wrestling. The only people I would reserve that generalization from would be the last drummer from The Mars Volta and the entirety of Amon Amarth. (Who couldn't love a death metal band that writes about Norse Gods in EVERY song?)

Freddy Mercury was F!@@%&*g brilliant! But it was Brian May that kept my interest in Queen. He was just a phenomenal guitarist. He even had written praise from my absolute all-time favorite guitarist ever in history: Frank Zappa!!!

The thing I like about writing for Bronwyn is finding ways to dodge around the truth. Most of the times his declarations are 100% truthful in a way. Feels challenging sometimes :)

Innuendo and wordplay can be tricky for some of us native speakers so bravo for taking that on and continuously making it work. I've been a fan of your PC since he stripped off his armor to investigate what caused a bloody struggle outside of a dark and unexplored cave.

I also appreciate the reoccurring themes of redemption and rebuilding that are touched on by a handful of characters on the board. Specifically, I feel that Ganit and Bronwyn share a lot of similar fears but they face them in a completely opposite way; it seems that while Bron looks to the future, Ganit just buries himself in the past. It's really interesting how these sort of things fell into place without any real planning or anything. Keeps things fresh.

Woah I totally missed this post earlier. I put up "enfeebled old men" specifically with Steve Howe in mind. I mean, have you seen recent pics of the guy? Close to the Edge and Relayer were my favorite albums of theirs.

Different Stages is my favorite Rush album. On the 1st disc they do 2112 from START TO FINISH!!! It's mind blowing! All other live shows I've heard/seen they only do Overture/Temples.


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

While Yes has some of the greatest music of all time, it is their album covers that really set them apart. Roger Dean is just amazing. I think that he also did the covers for the first few Asia albums as well.

Asia - Asia

Yes - Keys to Ascension

Also, if you like interesting album art, check out:

Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery

Not only does it have a really cool cover (the actual vinyl opened up as I recall), but Karn Evil 9 has some of the greatest lyrics.

Karn Evil 9:

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside!
There behind a glass is a real blade of grass
be careful as you pass.
Move along! Move along!

Come inside, the show's about to start
guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth.
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo.
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll ....

Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries then he dies then he dies
Come inside the shows about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart

You gotta see the show
It's a dynamo
You gotta see the show
It's rock and roll

Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine
What a scene! What a scene!
Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand
to Alexander's Ragtime Band
Dixie land, Dixie land
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
See the show!

Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool. Keep it cool.
We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
were exclusively our own,
All our own. All our own.
Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Come and see the show!
See the show!

I mean, it has heaven, hell, guillotines, gypsy queens and vaseline. Hard to beat that in one song, and that does not even include the seven virgins and a mule.


Master of Gaming and Grognardia Current map

Funnily enough whilst sitting down to lunch the radio was playing the song I mentioned above lol.

Another song I love is Poison by Alice Cooper.


Master of Gaming and Grognardia Current map

okey looking at my notes there are still 2 masterwork weapons to claim.

Sir Bronwyn: Masterwork Composite Bow (+3)

Ganit: Masterwork Dagger

Telias: Masterwork Sling

Jameson: Masterwork Lance


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

Get Masterwork Light Crossbows for Zorestar and me. That should finish things off. Thought I had posted that earlier. I doubt either of us will be using anything else, unless we are in big trouble.


Master of Gaming and Grognardia Current map

Unless of course some items appear on the magic roll if your kingdom gets minor magic item slots to roll. Since it's a random roll there might be a +1 crossbow or something.


Female Changling(Hulking) Sorcerer - Orc Bloodline/5 - HP: 12/28; AC16,T14,FF13

Worse case scenario, we waste 150 gold if we have to buy something else. None of the fighters seem to want a second masterwork weapon, so Zorestar and I will take them. Unless he can get us a masterwork ballista, trebuchet or catapult.


Master of Gaming and Grognardia Current map

Just been checking the numbers cause I thought I was off and I forgot to give you xp for turning Akiros to your side and defeating old man Nugrah and his dire rats.

This left you with 9 xp but I decided to give you 50 xp for the decent roleplaying back at the fort so you are all 4th level, congrats!

Also, the seige weapons would be taking it too far lol.
