Cohorts cohorts were only RP, no crafting or fighting last I remembered.
Np Corsario, still trying to wrangle my updates started a new job :/. Danath has been hellishly busy with a 16-plex he bought and Eugene is working his ass of primarily night shift. I will rally them for ya.
16 plex? movie theater or IR assay?
Arv Its an apartment complex in the area, took it on as a way to increase my income. It has some problems, uneven floors, shoddy 2x4 construction among other things. Had to pay and have renters move out temporarily as I go floor by floor and annihilate anything not up to code. About thirty grand in but making some good progress.
Trying to turn this into a money maker, each unit goes for about 750 each. which is around 12,000 a month. I can pay it off in about 4-5 years and that will pretty much turn into 72,000 a year for my business and 72,000 a year into maintaining the structure and residents. A lot of work initially just looking at the pay off at the end. I'm utilize a service that costs a mere 10% and they take care of everything dealing with the residents (even signing up new ones!) for me and I don't have to worry about it. :)
The major cost is the hot water system, its around 18 years old and so out of whack that it can't keep up. So I am switching it over to an indirect fire which uses the boiler system to maintain hot water. SS-40 gal indirect Essentially this little unit will make so they never run out of water. I am installing four of them and each can make around 120 gal of hot water an hour. Expensive but sweet setup as it cuts the gas bills down by nearly half and it doesn't require a faulty pilot light to maintain. If the boiler is running then the water is hot. Nuff said and no angry residents because the water is cold.
Will update characters and look them over again tonight apologies for the wait Corsario. I see we have another druid and a wizard joining our ranks that'll be great! Glad to have you aboard Estrid!
...and don't forget to avoid estimates from the utilities!
I re-insulated a coffee shop I had, replaced windows and ancient AC... (locked the thermostat from employees)
First bill was fantastic. Second bill was an estimate from the previous year for four times as much as first month.
Yes... Welcome Estrid!
Yep, I am on that right now, making friends at the utility company and having there people come assess and approve things. Its more money but at least I am hoping for a fresh start for this building.
The rent fluctuates by how much the bills are. At the moment its averaged across everyone which I am having micromotions installed to monitor individual apartments and break it down into a more correct useage/cost for everyone. Its not right that Unit A cranks up their heat and Unit B keeps theres at a norm but yet they all have to pay a higher average because of unit A? Nope not doing it that way. Its an old 1960-70's design but I am coming at it with a sledge hammer and installing more modern stuff. Its gonna be righteous!
I am using this idea as well. If tenants maintain the structure, mowing grass, painting walls (nicely! not some tacky mediocre work) etc. Then I am more then happy to deduct the cost of fuel and supplies from their monthly rent.
Currently I have a plumber (apprentice), a roofer and a carpenter all in the building I thought they were gonna explode with glee when I told them about this. So now I have three in house guys more then willing to put work in and keep things maintained and to code. Not to mention I have a public servant that mows the city grass, four win-win situations there! So they have access to tools and equipment that would cost me a fortune. They are part of my wrecking crew and I am paying them right now, so really motivated and excited people are always a good thing. :)
Despite some hiccups these guys are working double time to see things are improved, the carpenter is refinishing the cruddy stairways and handles among several other rotted wood removal projects, the plumber is gathering the parts for the new hot water system and bringing in his buddies for a fraction of what it would normally cost and the roofer is helping line things up to replace the roof on the building. Its been leaking for months, we found what looks to be mold starting in the old roof and so I literally gave them close to a blank check to fix her up with my approval on the more expensive items.
That's why I have been crazy busy. It's like having three foreman's and an army of contractors, which I am more then happy to have. Even if it means I have to let them stay there for free. If the building stays in tip top shape which they have the resources and time to do it then awesome. I've done four barbeques in the last week as a way to keep everyone happy, fed and watch over the work.
So nice not doing it all myself! lol
Danath is also looking to replacing his job with this endeavor which I hope works out! God only knows we have some terrible apartment complex's around here and if he succeeds I see him moving in on some of the other poorly maintained ones. Too bad there isn't as many jobs around here for people to have better lifestyles... :/
Corsario PM coming your way.
Quick Question is Monstrous Mount a possible feat for selection? Its from Inner Sea Combat. Just wondering as it would make for some interesting fights, being in the air would be an awesome battle zone. :)
Ni'Tir Sneaky jerk.
Corsario Thanks! Won't let you down!
Seraph He who hesitates loses. :P
Funny, I was considering Monstrous Mount for Tarina, but she doesn't qualify.
lol
Xi'Tir is updated added Skystalker archetype which replaces Animal companion ability.
I took Guardian and selected Ranged Disarm Mythic power (+23 to disarm manuever) and Rapid Shot Mythic She can take two additional shots or ignore the -2 penalty on all shots.
(so +8 +8 +8 +3 add many shot and we get some mean damage with Gravity bow active! :D)
Since she is going to be a bit more mount based I am switching more towards a ranged build hence the Guardian selection. Little Xi'Tir is growing up. And going to become less crazy as we go along. :P
Got Seraph done.
Legendary item is too cool to pass up.
So I have Hiera (CG) Legendary Lance that is intelligent and able to transform into a Greatsword (this is subject to change but there is no limitation on what Shape it can change into only that it has to be the same size.)
I rolled a quirk for the weapon and apparently it loves its wielder, a lot, lol so added that too.
If you have an issue with it let me know Corsario but it does add some cool factor. Although I am looking forward to having Seven League Jump. That is friggen awesome!
Chose Champion and took Power Attack Mythic which increased her damage quite a bit when charging with her lance. On a spirited charge with high damage she can do upwards of 90 damage. On a critical it'll be devastating. Took Monstrous mount as it seemed a natural progression as some of us can fly. Looking forward to how we are going to obtain these mounts Corsario.
Seraph is aiming for a Griffon If possible, if we were more water based a Hippocampus would be neat.
Thanks let me know if there is any issues.
With the lose of some of our heavy hitters I will try and focus more on a damage build in melee. If I can charge it I can do some heavy damage but we know how that works out most of the time for Cavaliers lol. So here's to hoping for some open field battles!
Ti and Tepti are still with us. He'll be posting tonight when he gets to work. He's had a bit of a hard time figuring out what would be best for his characters but since they are already leveled up its a matter of selecting the Mystic stuff.
Just FYI.
Arv Any thoughts on our previous Rping? Danath did answer btw lol. ;)
Champion's Banner
Cost:4000
A character with the challenge class feature carrying a champion's banner treats his class level as 4 levels higher when determining the effect of his challenge ability. This does not alter the number of times per day the wielder may use his challenge ability, only the value of the bonuses it grants when he does so.
Lord's Banner of Swiftness
Cost:5000
Swiftness: A group or army that are traveling under a lord's banner of swiftness can make a forced march without needing Constitution checks or suffering any nonlethal damage from doing so, allowing them to cover great distances while still arriving ready to do battle. This ability affects all allied creatures within 1 mile as long as they are able to see the banner at least once a day.
Commander's Banner
Cost:5000
A character with the tactician class feature carrying a commander's banner can use her tactician ability one additional time per day, she can use it to grant the teamwork feat granted by the tactician ability to allies within 60 feet (rather than 30 feet), and allies can use the granted feat for 2 rounds longer than normal.
Knight's Banner
Cost:7,500
Allies of the owner of this banner gain a +6 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects so long as they can see the banner. If the mass combat rules are being used, so long as this banner is visible to the majority of an army, the DC of the Morale check to determine whether the enemy routs decreases by 5.
Banner of the Ancient Kings
Cost:9,000
When carried into battle, a banner of the ancient kings confers several benefits. As long as the longspear or pole to which the banner is attached is firmly wielded in two hands, its carrier gains a +4 circumstance bonus on Initiative checks. In addition, when so wielded, it grants the wielder and all allies within 30 feet a +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting effects. If the carrier of the banner fails a saving throw against a mind-affecting effect, he may attempt a new saving throw against that effect every round he continues to wield the banner of the ancient kings—once he releases his firm grip on the banner’s haft, though, he no longer gets this benefit, even if he wields the banner properly at a later point while still under the effects of the mind-affecting effect.
If the banner’s carrier possesses the Flagbearer feat, the banner of the ancient kings doubles the morale bonuses granted by that feat. A bard who carries a longspear or pole to which a banner of the ancient kings has been attached is treated as four levels higher than his actual bard level for the purposes of determining the bonuses granted by his inspire courage bardic performance ability.
Sorry for the silence. I have been a bit busy. I will have Janus and Neji updated soon.
Danath and Seraph are updated.
Arv
Danath has some gold left over now with his rebuild.
I like the banner you suggested I think it fits really well and especially the mission they have ahead.
Sorry for the wait, night shift has been eating me alive lately. Sleep has been paramount but I am still here and interested.
Not much change to their items, Tiitza is taking the Marshall path and Tepti is going down the Hierophant.

Quick question on Mythic spell casting.
(Mythic) Sending
Source: Sending
You can contact a number of additional creatures equal to your tier. Each creature must receive the same message, and can communicate back only to you.
If you expend two uses of mythic power, you can send the message to unfamiliar creatures (using the same number of creatures as non-augmented mythic sending). You must either describe the intended recipients in general or specific terms (such as "orcs," "the queen of this country," or "left-handed half-elven males") or specify restrictions such as range, creature type, and alignment (such as "all good-aligned humanoids in the castle on the hill"). If a greater number of creatures meet your description than the maximum number you can send to, the closest ones to you receive the message.
So something like. Rupert Surtova's Daughter Alexandria could work as a description. However this is up to Corsario as the wording was left very open to interpretation.
___________________________________________________________________________ _____
I had pondered long and hard about choosing this and may still depending on your answer as it would speed up finding Alexandria. However it could back lash too depending on how she reacts to hearing a friendly voice whispering in her ear.
Just an idea and somewhat epic if we could win her over before meeting her sorta thing~
Thanks, Eugene.
Lol, that would make things quick. Although I think your gonna freak her out!
Mythic spells are awesome, mythic flame strike and mythic flame blade particularly! The flame blade one makes my druid drool. @.@;
Lol sorry. :(
Can't sleep blargh.
I had thought of the possibility but looking over the Mythic spells made me wondered what was/wasn't allowed. The Universal mythic spell casting opens things up quite a bit too for well...
Anyone who can cast really. I am looking forward to this Mythic Mania kickstarter books when they come out and I blame all of you for getting me hooked on this game. :P
Back to attempting to sleep. Blargh.
Eugene.
Eugene Yep Mythic spells are neat. I like the Terraform spell as well. :D
___________________________________________________________________________ ____
I need to learn GIMP more, I suck at layering. >.<; I need to check if it has a tutorial because the map you have Corsario is great and I want to start doing something similar with a game I have as they are about to get into a Settlement/Kingdom building portion.
Its gonna be rough and I look forward to modifying the map based on the problems they encounter. :3
Can't wait for this game to get started again~
Janus and Neji are ready to rock and roll. Sorry for the delays; real life was begin difficult.
I am ready :) looking forforward as rd to the start! :3
Arv almost falls over the other side of his horse, trying to mount after a few too many...
Undeterred, he unleashes his call to action "Ready spaghetti, LETTUCE TOMATO!!"
EDIT: I just remembered I don't have a horse.

Corsario's Kingmaker: The Kobold Kingdom of the Thousand Years
Szymon, Tatiana, Tepti and Ti'Itza go into the Kobolds Lands, trying to forge an alliance with the reptilian humanoids. Will the Kobolds be willing to join forces with them? Will they?
----------------------

----------------------
Corsario's Kingmaker: Dovan's Revenge
Danath, Ni'Tir, Tarina and Xi'Tir return to the Stag Lands to cement the dominion of their fledging kingdom over the old bandit lands. But Dovan, the Stag Lord's lieutenant, has a last ace under his sleeve. And he is not afraid of use it to take revenge of the heroes.
Yes I think we would take the carriage. Mulray and Karou in the driver's bench, and there is room for myself and three others inside.
There is also cargo room on top... if someone wants to "teen wolf" it.
... and Cosario... no updates from inactive threads... so some may be slow getting here. I just noticed the games disappeared so I checked your campaigns (and so on) to get here.
Nice Banner and thanks for reactivating! I was confused at first when it was gone but I wasn't in a position to post! Posting now!
Marvelous banner there Arv! Danath would totally love it! :) Thanks man!
Dotting in game thread now!
Posts up going back to bed! lol Working working working!
BTW I will PM Eugene, he's back on days lol and hating life.
Most of us made posts so tell them they can feel free to post their introductions :)
Do we need to still post in the main thread for the intro for the new player?
