A new OOC thread :)    I have closed all the other OOCs, although you might want to check and see if there were any late posts you missed in them.   There can be only one!

And it is house keeping time :)  I have already hidden a number of posts, in preparation to deleting them.  If you suddenly can't find a post that you want - let me know.

I intend to  delete most of the Oleg's Location Posts (or at least hide them)  We have moved beyond the Oleg-centric part of the game, and I want to add new IC-chat/RP locations as we move into the next phase.  Does anybody particularly want me to save any of them?



I also intend to cull the less relevant  NPCs so that I can bring in new, more relevant, characters without cluttering things up to much.

Black Jack, Zack and Zauria will certainly go.  Kethara will move back north.  Both Alex and Ferdinand Ledkno will go after the next phase  (So Cyrus loses his squire - who was originally intended to be temporary)

Thanks for opening a new thread!

You are welcome :)

And back to Entourage ...

Here are some people you might wish to recruit :)

Zach – is a reformed Bandit who has been looking after the horses both at Oleg’s and The Orcy Ring.  He is human and has skills in Prof(stable master), Ride, Perception and Perform (wind instrument).  Currently a L2 Commoner, he can retrain to hit L2 in either Expert or Warrior to co-incide with you hitting L4)

Jack – Known to his mates and Black Jack.  A reformed bandit who ran a few errands for Bai, but is now available for hire.  He is a Human Warrior L2  (so he won’t level up until you hit L6) and is a military cook  (he has Prof:Soldier, Ride, Cooking.)

Yolen, George and Spike – all ex-bandits and Warrior L1 – but completely unspecified beyond that (Yolen is female, George and Spike are male)

There are two unnamed and unspecified Experts at Olegs -   The can be (male or female), (Human, Half-orc or half-elf) = Warrior, Expert or Adept.

An (as yet) unnamed Male Half-Elf Adept  (I use custom Adepts) who is a Follower of the Green
http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....r:npc_classes:adepts

And whatever we finish up with from the Stag Lord’s fort.

I would be interested in one of the unnamed and unspecified Experts.

Would Zach like to become the Orcy Ring Ondari Stable Master?

Claims Noted  :)

In reply to DM (msg # 7):

Thanks

Hi folks. Ron here. I like the outdoors, fishing and hunting. Especially fishing. Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except I still get to kill something.

Hilarious. You are my new favorite NPC.

Do you have all of your savings buried under your cabin in the woods?

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 10):

Why? Do you know my first wife?

*Looks at Cyrus and taps her foot*

What is the equivelant of scotch in Golarion?

You could send to Restov for Whiskey -  or their might be some in the Stag Lord's place.  Oleg could certainly get you some - at a price  :)  Mind you, up here, it is liable to be vodka, rather than whiskey.

I am sure someone expressed an interest in setting up a brewery etc.

Vodka? Clear alcohols are for rich women on diets.

I'm also interested in one of the unspecified experts.

Ha! In thinking about it, dwarven whiskey could be the equivalent of scotch. I'm a fan of bourbon myself, but I would imagine that Ron Swansov would only drink the scotch aka dwarven whiskey.

Um, is Ron going to be Andalon's NPC? I mean there are some very natural connections there :) If Valoria were still here I would claim Ron as mine via the transitive marriage property.

In case anyone is wondering, the Lebeda banner is a swan swimming.

Bourbon?  Way too sweet.


Ok - there are more unspecified experts available if people want them.

http://static3.businessinsider...daniels-old-no-7.jpg

The Mordane banner.

Now you starting to sound like my second ex-wife.

I am so confused.

Double post.

In other news, I'm finally fully returned. New job started, divorce is settled, and I am game to return. This time for good, thank the maker. Sorry for the extended difficulties all.

ssssh, tell no one;

030 lb 01 Barrel w/ tap
240 lb 30 Gallons of ale in barrel and also stolen from bandits
015 lb 08 Herbal wine, 8 bottles in a crate

In reply to Aris'ta (msg # 22):

Welcome back, Aris'ta, glad things have gotten settled to some degree. Hope everything is well. ❤

I suspect that when you explore the fort you may well find some more booze to add to Pipre's stash :)

A couple of people have comments on the different tags I have been using for  both Player and DM run characters.  I just added a post to the 'House Rules' notice thread that explains it :)

link to a message in this game

I second this!  I've got a t-shirt that reads "I'll have all of the bacon and eggs".

I am going to be away from home for the next couple of days.  My employer has kindly offered to send me on a 'team building' / Development trip - expenses free and on full pay  :P   I get to spend most of tomorrow at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford and the following day with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight :)   Not something that I could even think about turning down :)

I will have some access, but short posts and no maps for a couple of days.  I should be back home Friday Evening.

In reply to DM (msg # 27):

Heck, I want to go with you. Enjoy.

Thank you, I shall.

I have friends who would pay a lot of money for this trip :)

In reply to DM (msg # 29):

You tell them that for a fee, I am willing to make them reservations.

Hey, everyone, hanging technical difficulties with my laptop so may not be posting as much in the next bit. sorry.

Thanks for letting us know.  I hope you get it sorted soon  :)

Some of you may be wondering as to when I will start posting in character. Let me put this way:

"History began on July 4, 1776. Everything before that was a mistake."

"Just make sure all of your posts are honest and truthful.  There's only one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk.  Which is water that's lying about being milk."

Pipre, we'll be talking about your jewelry obsession in character after this fight. I'm pretty sure you already have one magical ring :)

My cognatogen lasts 30 minutes should that still be okay?

*pouts* okay, Cyrus. hehe.

Yes.

Lets say it took 10 minutes to strip stuff off of people, pull everything together and plan.

After a lot of  thought -  I have decided to try and find new players to take over Adoven (Rogue/Bard) and Borric (Paladin).  They have been passive for long enough that none of you can remember the details of their personalities, Active enough that they have still been gaining experience - and their original players have been gone so long that they won't be coming back.


That will allow us to run with three groups of five characters each -  which makes sense for the module and allows you guys a bit more freedom to take control of scenarios.

If any of you have friends / associates who might be interested in taking either of these characters  over, I would be happy to take to them.  I have some basic bits of the  Character's back story carried over -  but beyond that they will be able to personalise the character.

If not, I will adevertise them more widely and eventually put them up on Players Wanted - to see if there are any takers.

In reply to DM (msg # 38):

Feel free to advertise in Valarez.

Thank you

Fort Stag Marching Order:
Percy
Andalon - Cyrus (if we can go two by two)
Vik - Pipre
Zorah - Aris'ta

If it's single-file:
Percy
Andalon
Cyrus
Vik
Pipre
Zorah
Aris'ta


Sound good to all? Did I forget anyone?

Fine by me.  I'm just down to being a less than competent fighter at this point, all out of spells unless you want some cantrips cast.

With one minor amendment -  Vik has already started down -  so she goes second :)


But I can't get a proper Update post in until later today :)

Ok, I was hoping to coordinate us, but that shouldn't matter too much :)

Take your time!

Uh oh, a new map.  That doesn't bode well for us.

In reply to Zorah (msg # 45):

I love new maps

The druid with no spells left and no high enough level to have shape change does not love new combat maps.

In reply to Zorah (msg # 47):

Still, your skills are invaluable, and you can swing a weapon still? I'd say we have to protect Zorah of course but leaving her topside would be a mistake

Oh, I'm not staying up top.  Zorah is more of a utility caster the way I set her up.  Yes, I do still have my big stick, and ice armor.

I don't know. This looks a lot like a fancier version of the map where I kept falling in pits :)

*Whistles* I have new mapping software  :P

DM, I can't seem to see the new map you said you loaded. I can see the old maps, and can tell there is some white space where there is supposed to be something, but that's it. I'm not sure if it's just me or others as well.

Also, I don't think we have a Vik in our group, do we?

Hmm.  The game map looks OK to me.  I just used the link from the game page, so it is coming from RPoL rather than the copy on my PC.  Lets wait for some feedback from someone else on that one.

I have changed the 'mis-spelling' of Tansy's name  :P

Okay, I did a control-F5 and now I see it.

Am I able to shoot the mites from here?

You have straight line of sight to E12, F12, F13, G13 -  because of ceiling heights and the people in between, they have cover.

I wouldn't be that mean to Tansy :P

Man, for a second I wished I was playing an Alchemist.

it's pretty fun

In reply to Pipre (msg # 59):

Its a great Class, but they gave it too many abilities for my tastes. Personally, I would prefer it to have more magical abilities, and no bombs, mutagens or armor.

Hmm.  You two in the same party could be a DM's nightmare  :)

In reply to DM (msg # 61):

Say no more, your wish is our command. :)

 Lol, how do you mean, Mr dm?

In reply to Jicca Mak (msg # 60):

Surely there is an archetype for that :)

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 64):

Not one that I found. I could probably come up with something maybe using a Wizard as base, but I would not get the Int bonus to splash weapons and some of the other things. This is almost begs for a smorgasbord class system.

I don't know.  And that would be the problem :P  Mind you, we might find out at some point - I am a sucker for that sort of thing.

I like classes with a central mechanic that things build on. Bombs, eidolon, swords. Mutagens seem fiddly and pathfinder stacking multiple short duration buffs is annoying.

Throwing bombs and making alchemical stuff are the selling points for me.

In reply to Pipre (msg # 67):

Since we really talking about it, why bombs? They are already giving a damage boost to alchemical weapons, heck an alchemist even has a damage bonus to Holy Water of all things?

I see four core mechanics in Alchemist class bombs/armor/3/4 progression, mutagent, alchemy/Poison and spellcasting/potion brewing. Its like they did not know which way to go and gave the class everything.

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 64):

Vivisectionist or Reanimator plus Mindchemist or Inspired Chemist gets you close . . . but that's less a wizard with alchemy and more someone who does really evil things and either enhances the mind or gains investigator abilities. And the armour is still there.

As to why bombs, the answer is likely they wanted a class with a unique attack method to parallel the gunslinger.

I am not sure that Pipre realises how fortunate she is :p  She is only the second person (ever) whom I have allowed to run an Alchemist in my games.  (and the other was my son)

I'd go for a character like Anna Fortune.

https://comicvine.gamespot.com...-fortune/4005-70385/

Also, Too Ugly To Live is an awesome battle cry.

Group 1 -  I am going to roll that thread back to my last post.  I used the  'monster description' straight off of the website - and it has mislead you.

I will rephrase my last post and 'delete' posts after it, so that you can change your actions.

My fault for trying to be clever and not give too much away.  Instead I gave too little away.

My post updated now :)  Sorry

OH! Yes thank you VERY MUCH mine and Andalon's actions would have ended very badly

lol, not an ankheg. yeah, it didn't give the impression of a ton of small ones somehow. fair enough.

I thought monstrous centipede myself

Still may do! Andalon doesn't have any knowledge nature skill nor any experience fighting a swarm of bugs. He is about to get some.  ;o)

Oh.  I thought some sort of undead bone pile !   And Percy's armed with a rapier, so hasty retreat is the order of the day for me !  :>

Rule #1 for fighting swarms: Run

Rule #2 for fighting swarms: Splash weapons.

Haha! True. I found the ruling and despite my awesome rolling, I did a whopping 4 damage to that swarm :(

:P

In reply to DM (msg # 81):

That is why all of my characters tend to carry Acid or Alchemical Fire. There is a rule in D&D3.5 that allows torches to do 1d4.

Failing those, or spells like Burning Hands, you pray for an evil cleric or run like hell.
This message was last edited by the player at 15:51, Mon 24 July 2017.

Oh great :)

Well Cyrus will have to pick up a bottle of alchemical fire soon and here I was plotting about getting a warhammer...

I'm aware of the immunity but sadly Vik's not well-read so she slashed at them

Ditto for Cyrus, but I wasn't aware... It's still what he would have done.

I really can't see him carrying acid or alchemical fire or anything of the sort but maybe this encounter will scar change him

Swarms are confirmed killers. Even some mid range parties have a tough time with them.

Unless..... Alchemist.

Or an Alchemist  :)

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 85):

Swarms, acid and fire are all dangerous things on ships. Besides the quippling and leech swarms which spelled doom for any sailor though, only really swarms you'd worry about at sea are rat swarms maybe which can be slashed at. Any mishap with fire or acid would prove dangerous on a ship (using it against another ship however could be quite potent)

Evil Clerics are fun. Good against fungal and bacterial infections as well.

I'm not entirely clear what the evil cleric brings . . . we talking inflict spells or is there something in Pathfinder that they can do?

In reply to Viktoria d'Lodovka (msg # 90):

They can channel burst negative energy to either heal undead or damage all living things.

In reply to Jicca Mak (msg # 91):

Oh right, Pathfinder has burst!

Much better than 3.5 in that regard

Ow, that is some serious damage from the ridges in the floor...

EDIT: Can we attack the monkeys or does that risk injuring one of our friends?
This message was last edited by the player at 18:38, Mon 24 July 2017.

That was why I was nice, and only moved you 5 feet  :P

Yep - you can attack the monkeys.

In reply to DM (msg # 94):

I think we may have to report you to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters for letting those poor Mites suffer the effects of acid. Put them out of their misery, advance the round ;)

*grin* I was giving Mariam and Lex a chance to come to the rescue ....

But ....

How does this happen? Do they have the same initiative and the same Dex?

In reply to Jicca Mak (msg # 97):

I'm pretty sure it's just narrative license because I rolled a 1.

Yep

In reply to DM (msg # 99):

ahh, ok

The monkey line from my recent post was more for me than Zorah.  One of my only legitimate phobias in RL is baby monkeys.  Something about the weird little hairless bodies freaks me out.  That's not a joke either, scares the crap out of me.

Ha!

*grin*

I am beginning to think the dice roller doesn't like group 3 at all.  I get a max -  you guys get zilch  :P

In reply to DM (msg # 104):

That was certainly not nice.

BTW, Jicca is using a reach weapon, did she or anyone else get a chance at an AoO when the centipede moved up to attack?

I am afraid it outreaches you :(

In reply to DM (msg # 106):

Ok, hopefully it does not have a lot of hps left and someone can heal me.

In reply to Jicca Mak (msg # 107):

Sorry, I used up my lay on hands for the day but after this maybe we'll have some time to rest and heal.

In reply to Mariam doZima Wolfeater (msg # 108):

Jicca may be dead by then. She does have a CLW scroll on her though.

In reply to Jicca Mak (msg # 109):

We'll try and figure something out.

In reply to Mariam doZima Wolfeater (msg # 110):

:)

Indeed.

Hi GM and group 1. I am away from home for the next week or so and may not keep up with posts. Don,t wait for Andalon if I am slowing things down at all.

Ok Jicca, I've done some rereading and we can make this work. Next turn I'll try to heal you. Lets pray to the dice gods that the rpol roller is with us.

MikMek the scourge of monstrous centipedes is officially the best.

Please use the CLW scroll I have on me. It's on a Paladin spell list, so you should be able to read it no problem.

Does the Paladin class have spellcasting ar 2nd level?

Spiders.

And then monkeys.

Jesus, thank god for busy work week, or I might be having nightmares!

Unfortunately a Paladin can't use Scrolls until L4.  They are a Spell Completion item and need a Spell Caster to finish saying the spell.  (Wands, as a Spell Trigger Item,  are different)

Fortunately you still have two potential sources of magical healing in your party  :) At least Jicca is stabilised and won't die :)

In reply to DM (msg # 119):

Anyone have a Use Magic Device?

I'm sure there is someone who will get you up and operational before too long. We definitely shouldn't have split up here :(

I have it. But, assuming you're stable and won't bleed out, I think our priority right now needs to be on taking out this tick. Then, Cass can get you back up without the chance of me botching the Use Magic roll and wasting the scroll.

And it will get worse when I get home tonight  :P

You guys need to get on  with killing stuff PDQ  :)

In reply to Marik (msg # 122):

Botching a UMD roll does not waste a scroll or charge. It just fails to work. They made it so it's a action waste in combat, but you can pretty much take a 20 out off combat.

In reply to DM (msg # 123):

Oh no, not another summons.

I'm curious to see the outcome of Percy's feint or not-feint, I couldn't quite tell if he actually threw acid down the hall or not.

Aris'ta, there is an Earth Elemental of some sort in front of us that you could shoot with an arrow if you were so inclined :) Also you have darkvision, right? Perhaps you can see further than the rest of us and tell us what is down the corridor?

Just a heads up guys - I am away for a few days starting from Thursday morning.  I will try and get update posts in Wednesday evening - assuming that enough people have posted to make it reasonable :)

I get to relive my youth and go to a  music festival :)

That is so fun DM! Glad you get to do something so exciting! Thanks for the heads up!

Have fun :)

Yeah, you have fun, it's not like I am laying in the dirt uncounsious or anythung.

;)

But you look so wan and beautiful like that .....

I found just the thing to keep you occupied on Jicca's behalf ....

http://www.gotoquiz.com/whats_your_goth_name

Well that makes up for my previous misses I hope :)

In reply to DM (msg # 131):



Jicca "Jason" Mak

RAW criticals are not multiplied:

A critical hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together.

Thanks Jicca.

DM, if it's a confirmed critical, please roll 2d8+2 on my behalf.

Ahh, young padawan.  You assume it isn't immune to criticals?

Mwahahahahahah


Jicca, that was a crappy name generator I  linked :)  I didn't try it until afterwards and then decided it must have been created by a 14 year old as a school project - or something similar.  Ironically, I have a Goth name of Jason too.  In my case though, the descriptive paragraph was quite appropriate  :P
This message had punctuation tweaked by the GM at 06:11, Thu 03 Aug 2017.

So just minor comments from me until Monday.

*Starts singing songs and goes to find his hippy headband*

In reply to DM (msg # 136):

I assume nothing! That's why I said "if" :)

I got Jason as well.

lmao

Jason rules!

Breakfast and wifi in the local community centre!

ROFLMAO - apparently my goth name is Dawn. Somewhere during that quiz I must have changed gender and become a hippy chick - a hippy goth chick? Remind me never to do a quiz after drinking! ;o)

Angelica here... Hmm, seems to be a gender-bender...

You know, I am starting to think that the test may not be accurate ...... hmmm.

Hmmmm - I wonder if I can think of a side game where you all need to play your alter - ego?

11 hours of musical performance yesterday.  It is exhausting just listening ☺

And another Dawn here ... to avoid any confusion, I think I'll be Dawn of the Dead, a hippy necromancer.   Sorry Andalon, that leaves you with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - probably a Druid, though you might get away with Barbarian or Ranger.  ;>

could be Dawn(ing) of the Age of Aquarius

It has to be Ravenloft.

And they continue to fall ....   :P

I'd tried to move up to the edge so that I would be within 30 feet in my last attack, but if there's not room for me to get that close, thats cool :)

Whoops.  Sorry.  Sometimes I miss things when like that when the intended location isn't spelled out for me.

But it keep it exciting, doesn't it :P

Tansy shapeshifted into me again at the start of the post!

In reply to Viktoria d'Lodovka (msg # 152):

Fixed.  Still got my Festival head on :)

I could get used to that lifestyle.  Get up, have breakfast,  sit in a music venue tent for 11 hours.  Go back to bed.

In reply to DM (msg # 153):

Looks like Jicca is not in the summary post.

I am afraid she is still unconcious - and everyone has left her alone for the time being  :(

In reply to DM (msg # 155):

Yes, but she should still be in the summary as uncounsious.

OK.  I will add her.  :)

And I just discovered a misplaced ; in a private line that hid Jicca's status line.

For the record, the Stag Lord's Bow is up for grabs (though I think Group 1 gets priority for the time being). It is a +1 Comp Long Bow with a Strength Rating of +2. My old bow is a Str +3 Comp Longbow, so I would get a bonus to hit but the damage would stay the same for me.

Vik, can you use this bow? Aris'ta?

I am so excited that we have reached this milestone and am looking forward to what comes next for our groups!

Keep up the good work Group 2 or 3 or whatever number you are. Kill those mites!

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 159):

What really hurts is that I have a bunch of healing available, but am the one unconscious.

In reply to Jicca Mak (msg # 160):

Invest in potions perhaps?

It's always an imperative to keep the healer out of harm's way!

I have faith in your group. They'll get you back on your feet in a flash.

Just be thankful you didn't fall into a pit, twice :)

Yes I can use that bow, that's my Strength bonus. But I'd wait to see what Aris'ta says before agreeing to take it as she's the archer. It would be put to extremely good use though with me!

Here's a loot table from the raid on the fort, there's a lot that still needs to be calculated :)

Never had a chance.

In reply to Jicca Mak (msg # 165):

You'll be fine. We'll get you out of this mess. And then we can buy some potions just in case we don't protect you again :)

In reply to Lex (msg # 166):

I may be a bit too much of a 3.5 player, but I've always felt every member of a party should be involved in their own healing, buying potions and scrolls (when necessary). The cleric has important non-healing things to deal with once they get out of the 1st level cradle.

There's wisdom there for sure Vik. But it's got to suck to be a cleric and be unconscious :( Sorry Jicca.

In reply to Lex (msg # 166):

I am not worried, just bored.

I have moved  Cyrus's table into the loot thread, which should allow for better discussion.

Thank you Cyrus.  However, was it only two pits?  I must be slacking ....

Jicca - Sorry  :(  There are actually three sources of healing in your party - Mariam was really unlucky with her dice rolls or you would be up and on your feet already.  I have moved the thread on and hopefully Cass will have better luck with his dice rolls :
This message was last edited by the GM at 06:16, Fri 11 Aug 2017.

It may have been three pits :( But that just seems absurd... I'm going to pretend it was just two.

Also, loving the jokes this morning! Pipre, that was solid. Andalon, I almost spit my coffee!

Use the scroll, I'll make more.

Didn't the DM say that Cass could heal you too? If that's true, let's let him do that.

Yep, that was who I was thinking. If he doesn't post by tomorrow, I'll go ahead and use the scroll. Just wanted to give him a chance to show off his mad magic skills.

On vacation. Will be get back home on Tuesday.

Back home now. Interesting eclipse on the way.

the box is totally what I thought it was

A total eclipse is always something to see.  I was lucky enough to see on in Cornwall about 20 years ago :)

Ha! I have discovered that Pipre can read cod-french :)

Guys -  just to keep you all in the picture ...

I have advertised for new players for Adoven, Borric and Big Job as L2 characters.  At the moment the advert is just in games that I play in, but offer is also available to friends & Colleagues of yours - before I go to players wanted.

Once we have completed this section - including the wedding and the trip to Restov - I intend to rework you into three new groups.  One will explore the hills, one the forest and one will be water based :)    Each party will have a mixture of L4, L3 and L2 characters.

Good luck recruiting! It will be interesting to see the future divisions.

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 180):

I have someone interested in Adoven - we have had the initial discussion and I am just waiting for a final decision from the player.  As you may have seen, I have asked new players to respect a few things from each character's history  :)

Some elements of re-allocation are fairly straightforward.

• Hills will probably be Paladins, Cavaliers and other horsey/heavily armoured types.
• Forests = Rangers, Druids etc ....
• Water -  hello Vik :)  and lightly armoured people  ....

Looking forward to the waters myself. Just need to start building the armada, which is going to take some gold!

Hmm, I wonder, can Cyrus afford some nice heavy armor now???

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 183):

I suspect you ought to do some maths in the loot thread to find out :)

Just a few thoughts

• You need to keep Henry Sweet :)
• Trade goods are more valuable for funding building works
• Everyone going to the wedding is going to need a courtiers outfit (at least)  (see note 1)
• ... and the jewellery to go with it.
• Masterwork gear can have enchantments added later
• ...  If you have to pay Andalon for the spell it WILL cost you more later  :P

Note 1 - I promise you that you will need one  :)

In reply to Viktoria d'Lodovka (msg # 182):

There are rules for buying ships as part of the Kingdom Building system :)  As well as rules for building shipyards and trading as merchants.  Check out the merchant and marine section on this page ....

http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....mpaign_systems:start

They might need a bit of tweaking still -  but you can build an Armada using BP - in the same way as Cyrus builds his stronghold and Zorah builds her ranch.

Folks -  welcome Adoven's new player.  I play with him in another game and I expect great things from him  :P

Just make sure you lock your sisters up!

Just because my middle name is Lothario, everyone over-reacts.....

In reply to DM (msg # 186):

All of my sisters have been locked up and only I have access to the chains and whips.

Campaign traits available, too?

Just PMed you

So what's in the bag?

Give me a break  :)   I'll get to it today.  Just made myself late for work trying to exctract the information I need (to tell you that)  from the PDF files I use.  I should be able to find time later to get a decent  post done.

Hahaha! No rush, sorry I made you late to work. :)

You didn't make me late for work, it just means I have to give them 30 minutes back at some point :)  I get flexi-time,  so (within reason) I can schedule my working hours as I see fit.

My wife works weird shifts and I regularly shift my hours to match up (a bit better) with her shifts - so my employers are used to it.

Group 1 - I was going to  wrap the Stag Lord adventure up completely -  But I think you need to make up your communal mind as to what you are going to do with the treasure (and there is still lots left).  If you don’t have a ‘reasonable’ plan in place Henry will turn up and take over.  His idea of an ‘equitable split’  might be different to yours :]

I will get a 'round out' post up in the game thread shortly -  and I will bring the latest version of the Treasure table to the bottom of that thread.  I don’t mind if you do the discussion IC,  OOC or use a combination of both-  but I would like you to come up with a solution.

To aid you in your deliberations.

• Rook is happy with the Staglord’s Helm and the Holy Symbol of Erastil as his share of the treasure.
• Valoria has been around and helping out -  she should probably finish up with something (although as an NPC it doesn’t have to be much and might represent the least value to the party)
• Aris’tas player has contacted me recently, to tell me that  her computer broke almost immediately after the posted that she was back.  I haven’t seen her since - but I think we should treat her as a character on Hiatus for the time being.  In other words, you probably need to make some allowance for her -  but ….

For the record, I wasn't planning on counting all the coins or anything and I am 99% sure I told everyone about the mite and only went back for the bag because I wasn't going to be the first one up the rope ladder by default.

No worries, you were close and took charge. (While I lagged in posting because I was pretty sure Cass was already on the other side of the chasm.)

Kill and loot. Loot and Kill. It all works out in the end. ;)

So, no one in Group 3 carries a Detect Magic?

No spells here.

I have it, but figured I'd wait until after we deal with the mites to look at the loot.

In reply to Marik (msg # 200):

You can certainly afford a round to scan if anything there is magical.

Group 1 -  once we have rounded this up -  you will be off to Restov  for Cyrus and Val's wedding :)  Followed by a bit more time in town.

Group 3 -  You have to visit the Kobold's (to earn the rest of your loot) and then you too will be off to Restov.

There will be time for shopping.  However, I feel that I should warn you - both groups WILL need courtiers costumes while you are in Restov.  The trip to Restov will mark the beginning of the Kingdom Phase of the game.

If anyone would prefer to miss that completely -  let me know and I will keep you in the field adventuring.

I changed my mind slightly about which NPCs were going to be put up for adoption.

Say hello to our new Zauria  :)

Welcome Zauria, you have the privilege of being my soon to be sister in law :)

Hi there, and yes I've heard! Looking forward to the festivities :)

I'm working on taking ownership of the character, so expect some changes. Updated description will be coming soon :)

Zauria and I have already had some fruitful discussions, and  none of the changes will impact on any of the back story that has already been established  :)  Nor will the base concept of the character change significantly. :)

Indeed! :)

She's your character now, I am glad that you are getting in her skin and making her yours!

Welcome to the family, cousin! :o)

Welcome to the family, it's a fun ride.

Just catching up, ma familia. Computer had a melt down just before vacation and I had no way to warn you lovely peeps. Reading up and hoping to post shortly.

Welcome back :)  You group is in a bit of down time ATM -  Check out the Loot thread -  you are going to get some gold, but you missed out on the magic this time around.

Later today, I will move your group on to the next phase of the game -  and you will have to decide whether you are going to Valoria and Cyrus's wedding  :)

In reply to Aris'ta (msg # 210):

Welcome back!

Got a bit long winded there, and I posted it about halfway through actually composing it, but I hope you all enjoy my little summary of what Cyrus did while they were waiting around :)

Nice post  :)

I will post soon just have some family stuff to attend to

Family always comes first -  RPol next then work  ;)

I'm sorry everyone, I promise that kill start posting daily again after Sunday. Been super occupied moving last couple of weeks, my roommates have left me to clean up all their garbage and on top of that my laptops acting up again. Trackpads moving on its own.

Ugh.  Hope it all sorts itself out soon :)

Interesting.  I google the Mouse Pad problem -  and most of the issues I saw were related to Apple Laptops  (Not something I know anything about)  and didn't have serious solutions against them.  None of them were particularly recent, so it doesn't look like a generic  problem caused but an Operating System upgrade.

Did you install any new software before it started?  If so, try uninstalling it.

If it were me (I was a tech Support Analyst in a previous life) whatever the make of computer,  I would look to see if see if there is a Driver upgrade available for your laptop as a first thing, and then perhaps a Bios upgrade.

But I was more desktop and network oriented -  so laptops aren't one of my strengths.

Although it might be best to make sure you have a good up-to-date virus checker and run a full system check first.  :)

Ok, so as a Cleric, there is no way we are returning this statue to the kobolds. It is either aligned to an Evil God or not aligned to anything. In either case, Jicca would feel the need to set the kobolds on the proper path and not let them continue in the ways of ignorance.

Jicca, you may be a cleric, but your god doesn't rule here, you're a part of a group. Lex would strongly object to killing all of the kobolds because of a statue or even what it represents. I have a feeling Lex isn't the only one. There clearly is more to the story here, so let's stop murder-hoboing everything and try to get to the bottom of it :). I am glad you are taking charge and stating Jicca's apprehensions/concerns/hatred of evil :)

In reply to Lex (msg # 221):

I am not saying I would do that. I am saying that I would rather do that.

Hello again, everyone. Hope everyone has been alright.

In reply to Valoria der lin Lebeda (msg # 223):

Glad to see you Valoria

Valoria is back -  now I need to work on a few things behind the scenes,  to reintegrate her into the game.

Group 1 may be delayed in leaving Fort Stag.

Pipre?  You are somewhere safe, I hope?

yep, I'm far interior of Texas. Barely even got rain, but people whipped themselves into a shortage scare regarding gas.

Good  :)  One of my friends in Dallas was saying something very similar a few days ago.

OK Folks - transitioning from  one part of the game to another is busy/busy time for me -  and for some extent for you.

I need you guys to check what I have down for you in the  Characters Info thread - as that is what is guiding me through the next little phase as you get your IC RP rewards with some Kingdom Building stuff.

link to a message in this game

This is everyone - and includes Group 1, Group 3 and the new characters.  I am particularly interested in what you hope to achieve in this new land -  do you want to be a Landed Noble?  A Merchant Prince?  Set up your own religious organisation?  Found a monastery? Build a school? Pub?  Bar?  Brothel?  Something else?  Nice big brushstrokes allows me to give you options to choose between :)

If you aren't happy with what I have got down, or you want me to add something on your behalf  -  send me a PM :)  If I hear nothing from you -  I will go with what I have.

If you think I have missed anything you told me before -  I'm sorry.  Send it again and I'll add it / update it.  If I have nothing against you, I guess  - or worse - choose something that suits me  :p

Second bit of work for you all  -  Check over this list of Entourage type people.  If I have missed ANY entourage member out or got something wrong then tell me so I can correct it.

relationships and roles will become public as they become more obvious.



Jicca -

Cyrus -

Marik -

Zorah. 

Vik - Lolli, Vik's Squire/Valet

Henry - Brother Bart, Henry's private secretary

Bai - Jack, Bai's bodyguard and factotem

Just where exactly is this Drowned Trees scene?

Ahh yes ....  Trying to get too much done this morning and missed a couple of ends.
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:51, Sat 02 Sept 2017.

In reply to DM (msg # 232):

Cool, do I have access to this tgread?

Nope  :)  However, that is the only part that deals with drowned trees.

Adoven, I'll have Cyrus respond to your question soon-ish. I will give others a day to respond too so it's not just my re-telling of events :)

Ah, that was a most excellent post to read and reply to, in part. It feels good to post ;) I would have done so yesterday, but my daughter turned 6 and that demands full attention when little girls become 'big' girls.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend thus far, to say the least.

Yay, kids! There's nothing better.

Group 3, are we continuing on to the kobold lair or on hiatus to go on to Restov?

You continue with the Kobolds  :)  Once you have sorted them out, you can go to the party.

Don't take too long though, I can't keep Group 1 occupied for too long  :)  well not unless I release the scantily dressed women and over familiar young men -  but this is a family show, so I can't do that.

Release the harlots, uh, err, varlets.

<Stern Voice>
Get on with the job in hand and I will introduce you to them when you get back  :)
</Stern Voice>

Hehehe. Tried to catch my typo in time. Too late! The wrath of ole snaggle tooth may now befall us all.

In reply to DM (msg # 240):

Hahaha!

But seriously, let's see who Old Sharp Tooth is... My guess is a green dragon...

Finally! My laptop stopped acting possessed (and yes it is a mac, a very old one) and I'm done moving!

In reply to Mariam doZima Wolfeater (msg # 243):

That'll teach you to use a Mac

In reply to Mariam doZima Wolfeater (msg # 243):

Welcome back!

Welcome back Mariam  :)

I am away this weekend -  camping in  a field and re-enacting a battle.  There will be 'move on' posts, in both threadfs,  either this evening or tomorrow morning.

After that little, from me, until Monday.

If the kobolds are speaking Draconic, then Jicca should be able to understand.

I'll check the language groups :)

Try now.

In reply to DM (msg # 250):

Good now. Will post when I get to a PC.

Excellent :)

I wasn't able to get a long post in for you guys in group 1 -  Work got in the way.

However, you have the two threads at Olegs and a new Restov thread (OK it is in group 2 but I have promoted you :) to post in.

You have enough in formation to do any basic shopping you need.

By the way, who in group 3 speaks Draconic?

I would venture to say that only Jicca and whomever else wrote earlier that they understood it :).

Cass does.

In reply to Cass Mordane (msg # 256):

Good enough

I'll try and check in but I'm barely able to find time to read threads for the next week or two.  Please feel free to npc me or have me floating in the background until I'm able to return.

Post 7000! Congratulations!

^^ Nice! ^^

In reply to Zorah (msg # 258):

OK.  I have had you background / floating for the time being.  I have been using Fuzzy Location.  This Schrodinger's Zorah is either at Oleg's or in Restov.  No one knows until they open the box ... er .... she posts  :)

The same is true for Aris'ta

Group 1

In Restov:  Cyrus, Valoria, Andalon, Pipre, Vik & Adoven - Lolli – Henry & Bai - Jack, Brother Bart
Back Home:  Percy – Borric, Tib, Rikka, Big Job
Not Sure:  Zorah, Aris.  If either post in Restov, they are in Restov :}  If they don’t – they are at Oleg’s and acting in a background role.

Anyone I have missed out?

Everyone in definitely in Restov has done something about suitable clothing :} – as far as I can tell you haven’t tried to spend any of your hard earned loot on Other things  -  There is a whole Dwarf-Town of  smiths etc,  a magic shop and various temples for shopping in.

For those of you who want to hirs a carriage to transport you around  - can visit the stables.  There are all sort of teenagers hanging around ready to work as a guide if you should need it - or to snog, if Vik can escape from Lolli’s stern gaze :P

There are also a number of other inns and taverns in Restov that are more suitable to courtiers and budding nobles than the drovers.
I’ll open up Bathhouse and Shopping threads that you can use in Fuzzy-Time.  Which just means that you can be in all three Restov threads at the same time.

Are there any other locations that you want me to open up to help kill a bit of time?

*Note:  I think I might change the name of that area to Dwarf-Town -  it makes me think of a D&D/PF version of the ubiquitous China Town.

Let me know if you want other shops :)

WHAT hard-earned loot?

*grin*  Don't push your luck too far  :P  You got to spend most of your money as you reworked Adoven.  Having checked your character sheet, you still have enough to go down to the inns and party or  to stay in another Inn, or to do some basic shopping.

The others  still have cash loot to spend :)

Just a reminder for you all

http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....en_land:brevoy:start

For all sorts of  stuff about Brevoy - Including a list of better quality Inns.

Come now, group 3 -  my cut and paste finger is getting tired  :P

Just a quick bit of advice from Kenny Rogers ....

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep"

In reply to DM (msg # 267):

Well, if you are that bored, then why don't you roll some Spellcraft checks for us to determine what these items are. Will certainly save us some time and multiple same posts.

Oh, it is chief Sootscale who is starting to get bored with all these people casting.   He is probably starting to think all these bigs are doing the fantasy equivalent of 'looking a gift horse in the mouth'  :)

NPCs have feelings too!

Let me know if you want to start taking minutes to pick the stuff over in detail with all those Kobolds watching you.

In reply to DM (msg # 269):

It takes 3 rounds for a Spellcraft check, which is about 20 seconds. if you actually want a post, it will take at least 2 hours before I am at a PC.

You really aren't taking the point :)  but its OK, I'll help you out IC.

In reply to DM (msg # 271):

Oh I get it. Just no time for the formatting of a post, and no one was saying what was magical.

DM, I literally just woke up. Could you at least give us a chance to post before just assuming we're not doing anything?

Look outside  :)

In reply to DM (msg # 274):

What? Did you do that to my lawn? HOW!?

Special Advanced DM abilities ...  I can't tell you about them or I will have to kill you.  :P

Is there a card game starting somewhere?

Jicca, you know literally 3 posts above yours I had already pointed out all of the the magic items.

Wait...cracked Ioun stones have a function in Pathfinder? When did that happen?

In reply to Adoven (msg # 279):

3.5 actually, though they tend to be grey after being cracked

I never played 3.5 -  but in Pathfinder if you don't make the roll when you create them, there is a chance they crack or are flawed - or even cursed   (but don't tell Cyrus that :P )

They are less effective, but quite a lot cheaper, than the 'real' thing.

Is there a link to their functions?

In reply to Adoven (msg # 282):

Oh I was assuming they functioned like the dull grey ioun stone (revolves around the head and nothing else, good for casting continual flame on) but that's even more troublesome!

They sound like the perfect accessory for every gnome or halfling character I have ever played!  ;o)

In reply to Adoven (msg # 282):

yep.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-...ems/h-l/ioun-stones/

Hmmm. Lot more affordable options there.

I don't think Cass has an Identify spell.

In reply to Cass Mordane (msg # 287):

Does not need one, a detect magic and a Spellcraft check is enough.

That he should be able to do.

In reply to Cass Mordane (msg # 289):

Yeah, in PF Identify acts like a Detect Magic but with a +10 to the roll. Rarely used now days.

Thanks for the info.

Just a heads up -  My posting will be sporadic and basic from Thursday through to Monday.  I get to go to a posh dinner (at work) on Thursday night, stay over and then head straight off (Friday lunchtime) to my last battle re-enchantment of the season.

If you have any burning questions that involve me looking stuff up in books or looking at the module -  ask now :)

The decision to take the caged mite back was not clearly communicated... Gathering some stuff and looking for a blanket and saying let's go to Olegs doesn't really say what the plan is for a vicious little bugger...

In reply to Lex (msg # 293):

Sure, just having a bit of fun.

Just a heads up - I will be travelling on holiday for the next 2 weeks and won't have as much opportunity for internet access as usual, so I may be very slow to post in this game. Feel free to NPC Andalon if you need to.

ooooh ..  Cannon fodder ......

In reply to DM (msg # 296):

"What's a cannon George?"

A crybaby!

I have tidied up that Temple of Abadar thread - everything was really rushed during the week and I wanted to get something up for you guys to play with.  I hope it makes a bit more sense now.  I have also opened up a Golden Flute thread if anyone wants to go out partying.

On a separate note -  I originally called the area Middle March but, because I find that I have trouble typing that consistently, I have changed it (slightly) to Midmarch

Damn! I want to go out partying!

Maybe PekWik should pull out a bone flute and flutter it's eyelashes at you?

Hmm, that would be a whole different kind of partying.

Should I wait for the piano man, or forge ahead?

Forge ahead :)  Just assume he comes of stage about half an hour after you get there.

I will get all the threads up to speed today (after a long, long weekend that started with a posh dinner on Thursday night and culminated in getting home (worn out) on Sunday evening - in between there were a couple of 17thC battle re-enactments and nights in a raucous beer tent - The last of which ended in a massive circling, bouncing dance at stupid O'clock in the morning.  A good time was had by all (well by me at least)

And while I think about it, you (Adoven), Vik and Zorah need to post in the Investiture Thread as well.  We are using Fuzzy Time so you can post in  as many of those Restov Location threads as you want -  without worrying about timing)
This message was last edited by the GM at 08:45, Tue 26 Sept 2017.

I think I am up to dfate with everything.  However, if  you are waiting on  me for a response -  PM  me and I will get on it :)

What's an Investiture thread? What's it for? Besides, I can't see one.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:08, Tue 26 Sept 2017.

You get a minor title based on the previous exploits of the character. See

Restov: Temple of Abadar.

I have said it before -  but it is getting closer and closer.  Check out your personal story arc in :-

link to a message in this game

Every character -  no matter which group can have an entry in that thread.  I will be using the information in that thread to give those story arc's a nudge when we are all in Restov :)  Which is getting closer.  PM me any new entries or updates.

If you want to run a bit of kingdom, tell me.  If your character's wants to set up an Museum featuring Cyclops artefacts - tell me.  If you want to run a pub and a brewery - tell me.

If it ain't in there and you suddenly feel that everyone else is getting extra opportunities to do 'cool' stuff - there won't be much I can do about it :)  Well, not for a while anyway.

Is Jicca bored? I have a feeling something very cool is about to happen :)

In reply to DM (msg # 309):

Jicca does not have an entry in that thread.


Define cool?

Read the posts above our entry in that thread :)

In reply to Lex (msg # 312):

So, a pole-arm (seems to change in several posts) carrying undead (weird zombie type) who asked for the Stag Lords body seems to be un-living here.

Ok, that is interesting.

I never was very good at back editing :)

So I've been directed to hero machine, thought I'd design Mariam https://www.heroforge.com/load_config=857824

Looks very nice Mariam!

OK.  I think that I am up to speed with everything - but I might have missed something.  But if you think I owe you a post -  PM me  :)

For the record Jicca, great call on dancing that out, very nice characterization. I hope you don't mind Lex's response, the idea of "culture" is still pretty foreign to him. It was only a couple of weeks ago that he was stitching leather armor and skulking in the woods as a bandit...

Agreed, good role playing :)

Sheeesh. No idea where I should be posting. Is someone expecting me somewhere?

I guess that means you didn't go and pick up the coovelstanya, huh?

Jicca ...  Nice  :)


Adoven, It will calm down when we are back adventuring.  Restov is a nightmare.  You can post in any of the Restov threads, if you want to.  Vik recently posted in the In Restov Trhead.  While her comment was directed at Pipre,  there is no reason you can't join in the conversation, if you want to do some RP with the other characters.

In reply to Lex (msg # 318):

Thanks, and I do not mind. Honestly, I was not sure how it was going to go until I actually rolled the performance check. May actually put a point into Performance when I level next.

Adoven:

Is Lady Vik spoken for? Am I Lady Vik?

In reply to Viktoria d'Lodovka (msg # 324):

Maybe he meant Val :)

You are. From what info I was given, I thought you were. Besides, it's a convenient misdirection for a girl who wants to be impressed.

So, what is next for group 3? Not sure what to post.

I think we are headed to Restov, but the DM will facilitate that soon, I imagine :)

When I get up in the morning  ...

(technically I am in bed now.  Well I went to bed nearly five hours ago than woke up in the middle of the night and have been up and online for the last couple of hours.  Now I need to go back to bed ...)

...  I will move you on to Restov.

That's the worst boss, I hope you get some rest, but thanks for my post :)

Group 3 need to purchase (or rent) courtesan clothing and jewelry as well, correct?

 Correct.

Not a good day today.  Lack of sleep last night, followed by a doctor's appointment and  one of those 'all work and no fun' days at work.  Home now with a bit of a headache.

Posts will be basic as I set up the wedding - probably tomorrow  evening.

Sorry.

I have started the wedding thread and left you an opportunity to enjoy the invitation, coach journey and the general pomp and ceremony as you get seated for the wedding :)  I'll post the next section either tomorrow or Thursday.

Cyrus / Val are you extending the invitation to the guys in the other group?  They have arrived at the drovers -  and will have time to get freshened up and into any spare clothes etc -  before the ceremony -  but they won't have time to buy posh gear (however they will need it for the grand ball later in the week)

Feel free to post across the threads if you want to.  You are not restricted to one of these Restov threads, you can use the opportunity to do more than one things at once :)

Yes, all are welcome!

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 335):

Indeed, all are welcome! :)

I will move the wedding along tomorrow -  but that will be my last big post until after the weekend.

My brother-in-law decided to throw a surprise Birthday party for my sisster's 60th birthday.  It is this weekend.  We catch a boat Thursday evening to France, get a night in a posh hotel on Le Mont St Michel and then Saturday head off to the all day family party on Saturday.  Ferry back to England on Sunday night :)

On a separate note.  I have added a note to the Formal Fashions page saying that weapons are not generally acceptable at formal events.  A belt knife / dagger, certainly.  But nothing bigger.

Well, nothing that is obviously bigger  :)  Some of you have seen one of Rikka's toys that would be perfectly acceptable ...

Sorry, work has been a little busy and I wasn't sure if the custom was such that the Bride and Groom would be greeting people or would be the last to arrive.

Hmmm. Asked Viktoria if she decided she wanted an escort to the Ball. Wonder if she'd like one at the Wedding as well, if just to give Lolli something to worry about.....

In reply to Adoven (msg # 339):

Oh please do, all sorts of mischief can be gotten up to

Then please respond. I updated the post.

Please feel free to over-indulge a little on my behalf. Have fun.

In reply to Cyrus Ondari (msg # 338):

No problem.  During this bit - you are manipulated by the banker (the Cleric running it) and you mother-in-law and Grand-Mother-in-law  to  be.

The next stage you and Val stand up front and welcome your guests to the party :)  Although you won't need to respond to all of them individuallty, nor will people have to wait. until you are free.  The greeting might not be anything more than  "congratulations" and a shake of the hand.

My bad.  I haven't linked this document for a long time.  This is my take on Marriage with the pathfinder deities  :)

http://rp.baileymail.net/doku...._guidelines:marriage

What surname did the young couple choose? ;)

Ondari. I'm not changing my name. This is fantasy, not feminist fantasy :)

Totally kidding, I think we are leaning towards Lebeda-Ondari but Valoria gets the final say.

Am I the only one seeing this wedding as stark and dry? With the signing of the documents it's more like I'm watching the merger of two companies rather than the joining of two people who have fallen in love....oh, and let's not forget the union was presided over by a BANKER.....
This message was last edited by the player at 20:04, Thu 05 Oct 2017.

Yeah, such is life under Abadar... The party should be fun.

In all seriousness though, the "ceremony" is intended to represent the joining of two noble families of quite a varied level of rank and stature in society. They have to protect themselves from the Ondari name :)

Why from the Ondari name? I don't understand.

The Ondari House is a minor house (not one of those listed in any books because I made it up). Cyrus’ ancestors were swordlords but the recent generations were corrupted by greed and political intrigue (or so Cyrus would tell you). Cyrus left his family with his sole inheritance, his great grandfather’s sword, armor, shield and bow.

One of the contracts he just signed officially removes him from any further inheritance from his family leaving it all to his younger brother Ajax. It also removes any claim they might have on him.

He’s told bits of that story around the campfire enough so that you would know that.

Cyrus has pretty much hit the nail on the head with that explanation.  Both noble families have protected themselves from legal  claims over their various sized fortunes.

That was often done in the background in RL noble marriages in Europe.   Other deities, Sheelyn for example, have much more romantic wedding ceromonies.

And then there's Gorumite weddings!

Gah! What do I say to Cyrus? I wasn't the one who fought pirates, it was the earlier Adoven. What do I do, just make stuff up?

You’re a bard, right? Tell a story! Sorry to put you on the spot though

I am happy for you to mke stuff up -so long as you remeber that it was L1 stuff.  You also have all that stuff in the thread I wrote for you  :)

You mean?....
Nothing in there about fighting pirates on the seas.
PM

apologies but my posting might be a little erratic in the next few days.

That’s fine, we’ll just post for you, you are going to get belligerently drunk at the wedding and pick a fight with the groom, right?

I hope all is well Mariam. Cyrus is looking forward to meeting you and he doesn’t even know it yet!

Canadian Thanksgiving, I might be too drunk or angry to post as well. I'll try to post all the same.

Yay for maple syrup turkey. And I will try to do some posting

Also yes I'm sure Mariam will enjoy meeting Cyrus once she gets over her shyness

In reply to Adoven (msg # 356):

Yep
  Your made a good response from that thread.  :)

Before that thread you were a simple L1 seaman / pirate on the lake of most and veils.   Any minor acation stories are fine  :)

Guys, I have another one of those weekends where I won't be around much.  It is my wife's birthday this weekend, and I run a birthday dungeon party for her.  We have a bunch of friends down for the weekend and play pathfinder all weekend.  The first player (my son) arrived yesterday evening and the rest arrive through the day, starting just after lunch.  We start some time this evening and finish Sunday lunchtime - so I won't be online much at all.

That doesn't stop you chatting among yourselves, but my NPCs won't be saying much.  Don't feel that you are stuck waiting for an NPC -  none of them will be offended if you cut a conversation short and come back to it later.

Phew!  10:30pm here - and I have just finished the campaign and character development write-ups from this weekend's tabletop game. I needed to do that while it was fresh in my mind -  the group don't meet again until this time next year, so if I don't write it up now, none of us will remember  :)

I will be back posting in here tomorrow.

I think I have covered all of the conversation in the wedding thread -as well as updated the others.    However, if I have missed you out, or not commented on something specific - let me know and I will correct it.

Word of warning.  I am going to wrap up the wedding this weekend - and go straight onto  the Grand Ball.

There will be a chance to meet personal patrons - which is particularly relevant to those who are interested in building in Midmarch, as they might have some resources that will help you  :)

This does not stop you completing shopping trips or interpersonal RP in the other threads.



Once the ball is over -  we will be ready to go adventuring again - and some of you get to go up a level before that.


Cyrus, Andalon , Vik, Percy, Zorah & Pipre may all advance to level 4

Cass, Jicca, Lex, Mariam, Marik & Tansy may all advance to Level 3

Adoven, Zauria, El & Quin will start adventuring at Level 2.


Valoria and Aris'ta we will talk about your progress later
