The Four Pillars

Is there anything in particular that Roshan would have noticed/discovered about Miril?

Hmmmm. Have to think about that one. But off the top of my head:

1) It's fairly clear that Míril works for/is a member of The Order of the Sunrise Sword.
2) When she's not actively doing Order duties, she spends a lot of her time mingling in the city. She's quite a charmer and seems to enjoy meeting everybody she can. She seems to gravitate to those who could theoretically do her good. It's almost if she's trying to run a long con, or prepping the ground for one. Either that or she's having trouble breaking old habits.
3) She's not too trusting. She doesn't speak much of her past, and when she does speak of it she seems to have a bit of a multiple-choice past.

[Chancre Cailean]

I think I finally have myself sorted.

Also, chavamana knows this, but I may be very scarce on-line from Jan 24 through Feb 8. Going to London and Edinburgh.

Good chocolate and canned haggis can be mine! ...but not together.

[The Dreamer Lost in Twilight]

Of course you can have them together.

[Chancre Cailean]

Ooooh, that goes on the Edinburgh list.

[chavamana]

I'm still trying to figure out the best campaign trait for some of you, but I've gotten it set for Drea, Kon and Miril.

Kon/Exposed to Awfulness:

When you were a child, you were nearly slain by a demon. The demon was slain before it could kill you, but you lingered at death’s door in a coma for weeks before waking. Ever since then, you’ve been unusually hale and hearty, as if your body had endured its brush with awfulness by becoming supernaturally fit. But still, the scars (whether physical or purely mental) of your brush with death remain, and nightmares of what could have happened often plague your sleep. Something made you stronger than before and your resistance to demonic attacks persists to this day. Once per day with you fail a saving throw against an effect created by a demon, you can immediately reroll that saving throw as a free action.

Drea/Touched by Divinty:

For as long as you can remember, you've had powers that you were never able to explain. Once per day you can cast obsurcing mist as a spell-like ability with a caster level equal to your character level.

Miril/Riftwarden Orphan:

You bear a strange birthmark on your body. Research into the birthmark revealed it to be identical to the Sign of the Seeker's Spiral a rune that is related to a secret society known as the Riftwardens. You've always felt magic in your blood and it has allowed you to better use magic items. Any magic item that you wield or activate is treated as having a +2 caster level.

I'll post Chancre's and Roshan's just as soon as I have them figured out. Promise. :)

[Míril Celegeth]

OK, I've added the campaign trait to Míril's sheet.

[chavamana]

Sorry about that guys.

The actual adventure suggested a cold open following that scene and flashing back to it.... but I really wanted you to see Kenabres a bit before that happened.

That said, I am taking your actions into consideration as for what you find when you wake up.

[Chancre Cailean]

I'll post in the next hour or two. From the train to CadburyWorld.

[chavamana]

Fine... ruin my plan of resolving combat without you :)

I'll try to wake up early and resolve pre-workness.

[Chancre Cailean]

I live to thwart.

[Akatsuki no Yume]

"Farmer! Why are you crashing this party?"

[Farmer Odell]

"Heard something about getting smashed."

[Roshan Suraj von Itzal]

Lol. Awesome. Drink to the giant pit of oblivion.

LOOT POST

Special Circumstance
Terendelev’s Scales - there were 7 of these, intended that there be one for each PC. That said, currently Kon, Roshan and Drea have claimed theirs. Should the others not be claimed, the uses of the extra will be found in game.

Items available for claiming
bedroll, torn (0 gp)
candle-stubs (0 gp) - each can provide ~30 min of illumination
bent fishhook (0gp)
hemp rope, worn (0 gp)
copper brooch depicting an amethyst-eyed bat perched on a mushroom (200 gp)

masterwork backpack (25 gp)
trail rations x10 (0 gp)
flint and steel (0 gp)
caltrops (0 gp)
flasks of oil x2 (0 gp)
arrows x12 (0 gp)
cure moderate wounds (150 gp)
lesser restoration (150 gp)

Items will remain on the to-be claimed list until you guys have the opportunity to sell or use them. Items on to-be claimed list can also be held as 'group' items if a majority of PCs wish for them to be. Group items can be held by any character or NPC as decided by the group.

[The Dreamer Lost in Twilight]

masterwork backpack - claim
flasks of oil x2 - claim, but would reduce claim to only one if anyone else wants to split them

Would suggest as 'group' items:
Potion of cure moderate wounds
Potion of lesser restoration
Trail rations x10 (or split them evenly among PCs and NPCs)

[The Dreamer Lost in Twilight]

GM:

Just an FYI -- following our conversation re: battlefield control and squishies, I've decided that, especially as Drea is probably forgoing the Vow of Peace, she'd be willing to make attacks that do not cause damage (such as a grapple) early in the combat; particularly as readied actions if someone starts a hostile action or tries to get by her to her allies, but possibly even before enemy action if she deems the situation dire enough. No biggee, just wanted to keep you apprised to prevent confusion as things evolve.

[Konstantin Argentaev]

No claims.

[Roshan Suraj von Itzal]

No claims

[Chancre Cailean]

Will post about scale in game. Claim brooch.

[Chancre Cailean]

Repeat Chancre's round 1 and 2 actions as necessary....

[Míril Celegeth]

Jeebus. I've been crazy busy these past couple of weeks and haven't been able to log on. But I'm back now and should be able to post again. Once I've caught up reading all the action up to now.

[Roshan Suraj von Itzal]

"Yaayy. Happy to here all is well," says the monk who does not speak.

[The Dreamer Lost in Twilight]

Welcome back!

[chavamana]

Since apparently I am in the minority, I just want to go on record that in my head Chancre is Chance-ray. But apparently there is another way to pronounce it that I never thought of...

[Chancre Cailean]

Chan-cur. Much less pretty.

[Chancre Cailean]

GM:

Am I reading lay on hands correctly? From the scale? Not useful until level two or higher?

[chavamana]

Chancre:

In my head it does 1d6 at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd levels. and then more after that. It is one of the round-down but minimum of 1d6 abilities. I think. And i'm going with that interpretation :)

[Chancre Cailean]

gm:

Then I had better use it to get some HP back....

What did you think of the haggis truffle?

[chavamana]

Miril:

Hey, just checking that you know in Pathfinder undead can be sneak attacked. (Assuming flanking/flat-footed.)

Chancre Cailean wrote:

.... Just no.

I'd say no to a steak truffle as well. I just don't think some things should be trufflized.

[The Dreamer Lost in Twilight]

It was quite nice! Thanks!

By coincidence, we actually also found a "Haggis Spice" chocolate bar from a completely different source at a farmers' market on Saturday (it was, if anything, slightly more haggisy than the other.)

[Chancre Cailean]

I regret that we were not able to spend much time at the markets of either Edinburgh or London.

Nope! I was going with the standard AD&D there, where only certain undead can be sneak-attacked. Now I know better.

[Míril Celegeth]

GM:

Although, given her rolls, sneak attack wouldn't have helped in two-thirds of the battle.

[Chancre Cailean]

Claim brooch and arrows. Apparently Chancre is not a good shot.

[chavamana]

Miril:

Just a quick question. For ranged SA the only way to get it is for your foe to be denied its dex bonus (like when Drea has something pinned). Flanking is only applicable to melee weapons (unless you have one of the feats that lets you threaten with your bow, in which case I've house ruled that allows for ranged flank).

[Míril Celegeth]

GM:

Ah. I see. In that case, can you switch what I write to "short sword"? The attack roll and damage dice are the same.

[chavamana]

Miril:

I can most definitely do that :)

[chavamana]

You guys have reached second level. Additionally Neathholm is a hamlet where you will be able to buy and sell some things. I'm doing one more loot post for the things you've picked up thus far. Unless items are claimed by individuals or the group, they will be sold (up to the sell limit of Neathholm).

Neathholm's purchase limit is 1,000 gp so all the unclaimed items can be sold here. Neathholm's base value is 200 gp so if an item costs 200 gp or less there is a 75% chance that it will be available. If it is an item that makes sense for a underground mutant settlement, then there is a chance for something of higher value.

Additionally, through your sources you do find out the following is available for sale: +1 arrows (8), +1 buckler, ring of protection +1 and a earth elemental gem.

[Konstantin Argentaev]

No claims and I vote that all healing potions and the like be claimed for group use, and evenly distributed, starting with ranged and highly mobile characters first (ie Roshan), and ending with those usually mired in close combat.

[Roshan Suraj von Itzal]

Leveled, no claims, and I am fine with the above if everyone else is

[The Dreamer Lost in Twilight]

Leveled, no claims, also fine with the above.

[Míril Celegeth]

No additional claims, and I am also fine with Kon's suggestion.
