*bows*

We got 2 samurais so far.

Though this samurai is pondering a possible career change.  Seriously, I had about six different ideas for characters...

Well we got:
Human Crane Samurai
Human Dragon Shugenja
Hengeyokai (Fox) Fighter

BTW as a reminder everyone will start off seperatly. You might meet up with other players, but might not.

Let me know when done with your sheets.

I believe I am done!

Think i'm done as wel

I will be later today.

So we got the shugenja and the fighter complete.

And we got a dragon monk.

Melee party XD

Hee!  Well, I'm more of a support person, so perhaps we can all meet up and thump some honor into some dishonorable wretches!

Consider the genre we are playing in. Usually, the MU's are either support to the heroes or the bad guys.

Btw, hi!

We got:
Human Crane Samurai      *Working on Sheet*
Human Dragon Shugenja    *Accepted*
Hengeyokai (Fox) Fighter *Accepted*
Human Dragon Monk        *Working on Sheet*
Human Scorpion Ninja     *Working on Sheet*

All these humans and just little foxy me

Well, yes, but Rokugan said we may be starting and/or staying apart. But if there's an opportunity, Zokiro can be a good support person!  Or she can just support herself.  :D

I support both. Some of you will start together, others seperate depending on what I plan on :) Some of you will meet up as well. Its a sandbox game.

But I am planning on if your in the same clan, you'll be in the same area.

Got a idea:
1. Start with all clan members in the same area (crane, scorpion ect)
2. Start with everyone in different areas?
3. Combination? Whatever you want?

I don't mind number 2

Having the clan members in the same place would be fine, though that's really only relevant for Setsuko and I.  ;)

I am open to all suggestions however if the two of us are going to start from the same location as members of the same clan, we may have to establish individual ranks, etc.

Hmm, if we're both the same level, and both graduates of our respective schools/temples, then our ranks should be roughly equal, but will vary depending on the situation we're in. Physically, Setsuko would be the lead in obstacles and combat, physical training and temple etiquette. Zokiro would be the lead in magical matters, diplomacy, and obscure knowledge.  Together we compliment each other's strengths and shore up our weaknesses.  :)

Unless I believe if there is a samurai in the group I think they are in the higher rank.

But I mean if you are together, you'd probably be friends and treat other as such :)

Sounds good to me. I'm just aware that the campaign background seems to be somewhat focussed on rank and such. :)

Basically its a DND setting using the Rokugan map and different classes. You can still play the basic classes from the PHB though but I'd rather stick to the Rokugan classes.

I will do some IC posts either tonight or tommoror. Sorry for the delay!

Been a long day. 13 hours! I will try and get a post up tonight!

Did a post for the Dragons.

I will post tonight or tommorw.

We got 3 chars done.

Posted in the Dragon area (Temple) and (Forest).

Happy Father's Day!

Hmm Oriental Dopplegangers.

In reply to Rokugan (msg # 31):

Rakshasa?

I really shouldn't have watched 'Us' lol. Gave me idea haha.

Dopplegangers
Rakshasa

Hmm.

hmm what to make...

Anyone got ideas for NPCs/Enemies you'd like to see?

Oni are a classic.  Bandits.  Ronin.  Lung dragons (for talking to, hopefully, rather than fighting!)  Naga.  Tengu.  Nature spirits, fey, or ghosts.  All that good stuff!  :)

Welcone to the game Hor!

What I'd like to see is a ronin or pair of ronin assassins. A regular nemesis or enemy group for the characters. Maybe the samurai of a rival clan.

I'd also like to see some potential romantic interests.

So got sees and zombies. Meant as well as a good npc maybe a shamed or a courtier.

Hello, All.  I'm looking forward to playing.

Sorry the dice aren't with me in this fight.

*bows* Welcome to the Rokugan. Also our GM. *bows*

What do you think I should make that is good?

We got:
Samurai, Monk, Fighter, Shugenia and a Scout.

Well since we have failed our respective quests and dishonored ourselves by falling before the enemy....lol.  isnt there a ki based fighter like the psionic soul knife I think...cant remember if there is or if I am crossing some up.

Perhaps a wu-jen?

Soulknife is interesting. I was thinking Shaman.

Haha Female Halfling Barbarian or Ranger. Amazon.

Hmm. Monastary could make a Sohei and for the forest maybe a Sorcerer or a Archer/Ranger or Shaman?

Sorry been sick for 2 days with a nasty stomach bug :(

Like I may have said before, please get better soon. :)

Welcome Tik

Hi all thanks I will be a shaman

A shaman, that's cool. Welcome aboard!

Welcome.

Hello

Welcome

Greetings and salutations!

Waiting on the Forest area :)

I will post soon in the other areas.

just waiting on Takumi :)

Sorry for the delay.  Post is up but a natural 1 pretty much guarantees that I may accidentally hit something eventually hopefully in this game, but not today.  Dice haven't been kind to me lately.

I got the job!

Everyone can get +1 Attribute!

Hey, gratz on the job man !!

Absolutely great! Glad you have a new job. Hopefully, it is everything you need it to be.

Congratulations

congrats on your new job!

Hey guys, I am leaving for GenCon tomorrow and am not certain I'll be able to post again until the 5th!  Please NPC me as necessary!  I may pop in if I have the time, but no guarantees.

Have fun!

I might need divine intervention to actually hit one of these things...

ROLL CALL! :)

Yar, I'm back!

Working on:
Temple-Wood or Wild Elf Ranger 2 (Almost done)
Forest-Forest Gnome Druid 2 (Half-way done)
Village-Unknown, probably a Crab Warrior

Waiting on posts :)

You may...

LEVEL UP!

Happy Labor Day!

Everyone gains: +1 to 2 skills

All set?

Yup yup!

yep

Got the NPCs done minus Valus.

Waiting on posts

To everyone who missed it:
Level 3 not level 2 :)

waiting on posts :)

*slash swing hack*

Setsuko is one of those who likes to be sure of her moral footing before taking violent action. :)

Orcs are outlaws.  Outlaws who just killed peasants belonging to their lawful lord.  They're ruining the tax base, so they must be stopped!

Your so cute LOL

Okay so the ranger has taken the arrow shot and hit something. Are the orcs now too far away to be of concern to the characters? Because that is my (player)current understanding.

Hard to tell if what he his is dead. You got a lot of woodlands and bends here and there. Nothing has happened at least not yet. You can also try to see if there are more coming. Quing doesn't seem to be bothered with it.

Pondered running another horror game, with the big bad guy being like Jason or Freddy. Maybe IT. Or have it have the old fashioned monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein. I got the Asylum game but no one seems interested. Ideas?

What do you think is the 5 most classical monsters dnd-wise?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy All Hallows Eve!


Hmm: Ogres, Dragons, Beholders, Mindflayers, and demons/devils (depending on the version demons and devils kind of merge together...)

Trying to find a interesting BBEG for a halloween type game that I might run. I pondered doing  Jason (Undead, Zombie?) that starts killing people.

Or maybe have it be a werewolf.

The first introduction of the werewolf plague could be interesting.

Dracula is always a fun one.

The Headless horseman or pumpkin king could be fun ones too.

Yeah. I like working on one of them and then having it branch out too :)

Perhaps the village is linked to say a Hell dimension without knowing. So bad things have started to creep up.

Werewolves
Vampires
Pumpkinhead (lol)
Headless Horseman
Frankenstien
Creature from Black Lagoon

Hmm.

I'm working on the game as we speak.

I will post tonight or tommorow sorry for the delay!

Let me know if you need me to post :) Hard time last week. Need to get a new car :(

Posted!

And got a new car :)

What did you get I have been looking around at new cars recently? I used to have a vw touareg and hated it and have been carless for around a year.

Went from a 1995 caddy to a 2017 nissan sentra.

Big difference.

Hey you guys got a opening in a game? Trying to find a star wars, wheel of time, pathfinder (low level) or a DND 3.5 game :)

Anyone got a interesting idea for a animal companion that a gnome can ride (small)?

Hiromi mentioned a feline creature or a ape.

I pondered a skunk. But a feline ain't bad. Or a dire wolf.

Pony.
Tortoise powered by Red Bull.
Small cow?
Big fox.
Large predatory bird.

Got to be a forest animal :)

Haha Tortoise by Red Bull.

Maybe a Elk?

Big fox is a idea. Dunno bout predatory bird.

Big squirrel or a ferret?

Chamellion or iqnana? lol
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:08, Fri 22 Nov 2019.

LMAO

A raptor.

"Clever girl"  :D

Hmm. I don't think she can get a Raptor yet. Think got to be level 7 but is it possible with Natural Bond feat?

Or shape it like a raptor, give it the stats of a dog (more or less) and let it run!  :D

Course it is my game lol :)

Dire Badger

So its a toss up between a dire badger, dire wolverine, monitor lizard (lol) and a raptor.

Raptor is probably the most versatile, fastest, and powerful choice. Dire Badger could be interesting with the burrowing though it takes a feat to be able to ride the dire badger while it is burrowing, plus rage is nice. Dire Wolverine is more powerful than the badger but it is a shame it doesn't have burrow. I would take a horse over the monitor lizard unless you need the swim speed they are pretty weak.

Over all I think the Raptor or the Dire Badger is the best choice.

Question is would I get a raptor in Oriental Adventures? :) Probably. Dire anything can be fun lol.


I wonder are the animals the same in the orient?


https://media1.tenor.com/image...r.gif?itemid=9559854

Dire Ferret?

Dire Rabbit.

Woo! Thanks!

Woo Hoo! Thank you, thank you and happy T day to all!

Hey folks, just got added.  I'll be playing a courtier, though one who isn't a complete liability out adventuring.

Welcome!

Howdy!  :)

Aww man, both of the cute chars and friendly players are in Dragon?  I chose poorly.  Long term he plans on combining us all, right?

Welcome to the game!

Such is life... Welcome aboard! Just to be fair, I'm sure the other players are friendly too, right guys!?

Whats a odd race for a archer (ranger)?

gnome, shifter, halfling, tengu.

Posted btw!

In reply to Rokugan (msg # 132):

Okay the die roller is hating on Setsuko right now. Maybe she should go back to the temple to practice for another level. :(

Finally, she hits something and probably finishes the foe with her last blow. Now maybe she can get more reasonable odds from the Die Roller. :)

LMAO

A corgi animal companion. German Shepard. I kinda like the fox.

HAPPY EARLY CHRISTMAS

Everyone gains: Level Up!

In reply to Rokugan (msg # 136):

Woo Hoo! Awesome Xmas present! Happy Marry Holidays!

will get to it tonight or tomorrow morning

Thanks for the level-up, and I believe I am all done! :)

I have updated my character sheet and I believe I've covered it all. :)

Happy New Year!

Lemme know if you guys are in a DND, Pathfinder or Free-Form games looking for members :)

Pathfinder is the one i prefer  =)

Meant if your in one looking for members.

Might run one.

Heal skill checks to determine who was hurt the worse, Qing or Zokiro?


18:17, Today: Setsuko Osagai rolled 16 using 1d20+5.  Heal Check.
18:17, Today: Setsuko Osagai rolled 6 using 1d20+5.  Heal Check.

Pondered running a Pathfinder level 1 game. Everyone will get sent to a fort and must rebuild it. Thoughts?

sounds like a kingmaker game of sorts?

Never played Kingmaker.

Or perhaps making a Pathfinder Jurassic Park? Kinda like group is stuck on a island and must investigate it finding some new creatures upon it or whatnot.

Still like the Fort idea.

Redwall-ish. Find the Abbey and decide to live in it but unknown to the group, it has current...residents. Like the old Martin the Warrior Ghost.

Oooh. Final Fantasy. The king hires the group to find his daughter, the Princess who was taken by Garland. Unknown to them they are marked and are linked to the four orbs-earth, fire, wind and water....

lol Pathfinder Version of the Walking Dead.

Perhaps Diablo-based or Dragon Age-based? Oooh. Skyrim.

Dragon age and Baldur's Gate both have decent examples of fort building, also fable series had a decent focus on being a landlord. I love the Diablo like open world (there was a diablo 2 d20 game that was a lot of fun it was actually my first role playing game back in the 90s).

I always think the repair/build fort type of games are quite fun. I did one a while back in pathfinder where the group is a new batch of adventurers sent to a fort in a mostly unexplored new land. They arrive to find the partially built fort abandoned with no sign of previous residents. Sadly the game died very quickly after it started and before anything could actually happen.

You know I could combine the fort building with the Jurasic park idea....

Why with jurasic park ??

Why not? Something different. Dinosaurs! Something the group hasn't seen. No knowledge of it.

Or a fort/walking dead idea.

Perhaps a more Predator-ish game....

hmm (ponders pathfinder ideas)

Got something I can drill up?

hmm could go with fort/ clockwork horror invasion, there are also those demons that invade realms that have three or four different forms brainfarting what they are called but will check when I get home tonight.

Could be a fun way to go about a game, trying to close off rifts and stop a planar invasion. I suppose mindflayers would also work well in that same theme depending on the mindflayer mythology you like...

Clockwork Horror?

I like the idea of the walking dead and the group has to forty/rebuild a fortress to be safe. Though that might get boring.

Perhaos there's something or someone in the fort: If they stop it they can claim it.
This message was last edited by the GM at 16:16, Tue 14 Jan 2020.

They are from MMII, there are adamantine, electrum, cold, and platinum, there was also a copper one from one of the dragon magazines.

From what I recall they are plane invaders, they go in and steal all the metals of a given world to make more of themselves then move on. Think replicators from Stargate. The demons I am thinking of have a very similar theme but more focused on eating all creatures to reproduce...

So essentually they are Galactus. We take what we want and if you get in the way you will be killed.

Basically.

Pathfinder

Hope you check out the game :)

Also I did post ICly.

Horo left.

Anyone up for making a 2nd character for the Crabs? Doesn't have to be crabs though but would go in the thread.

We got a Nezumi Shaman and a Human Fighter NPC (Possibly)

This will be interesting with the Boom sound :)

OK: How did the Dinosaurs die?

Trying to figure out something that will happen involving the 'purple sky'....hmm.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Everyone gains: +1 Attribute Point

Posted ICly :)

Thank you!

I pondered rebooting this game and having the group start together, trying to figure out what cause the 'Booms'. Thoughts?

Well, we could also coincidentally run into each other's groups, combining them that way?  When we go down the mountain, or try to go back, we run into the other group?  Or when we get back from fetching the flower, the other group has reached the monastery (it being the closest civilization to the booms) and are like, "Hey, those booms seem like bad news, anyone want to come with and see what's up?"

Just tossing out some ideas.  :)

How is it closer to the booms?

Its a possibility. Trying to work on only having 1 NPC in the group. If they combine I'd have 2.

Course I can just keep it as it is.

So why would the other group go to the monastary? No reason to.

I will just keep it as is.

https://imgur.com/a/DguMd
Group 1 (Dragon) is in the area of the north near Shao Tamori

Group 2 (No Clan) is somewhere near Shioman Mori or wherever the Fighter wants to be.
https://l5r.fandom.com/wiki/Shinomen_Mori

I am FATE!

So are you FATE, Fate Core, or Fate Accelerated Edition? :)

You know, now that both groups have been introduced to the undead issue this would be a good time (and reason) to unite them.

I agree but need to write off one of the NPCs. Or both of them. Or keep the groups seperate for now.

The third question is: How will I become pregnant?

That has to be the oddest question I ever was asked on RPOL lol!

Well she was told that she would become pregnant. While she probably knows the physical mechanics behind reproduction, she does not know specifically the circumstances that would occur to make her pregnant.

Besides she wasn't asking you, she was asking Fate. :)

Well Qing could go back to the temple to bring the flower to the Master while the two young women could seek out the Naga. :)

Still was the oddest question I got asked with all my characters lol

Well not sure what the group needs: The ranger or the druid. I'll think of something.

Happy birthday :D

Happy Birthday!

Waiting on posts in the Temple.

Thanks for the attribute point, and happy birthday!

I will shoot up a post tonight sorry for the delay.

We are also having a Lion Samurai coming in as well.

In reply to Rokugan (msg # 193):

Hi Everyone!  I'm the "Lion-ess Samurai".  Excited to post with everyone.

Hello and welcome!

Anyone play Dragon Age games (Origins, II or Inquistion?)

Yes, those games are wonderful.

In reply to Xian Yulin (msg # 212):

Welcome Xian.

Hopefully I will get the wu gen and the samurai into the game within a few days!

Perhaps one of them can meet up with the temple people and the other can join the forest group!

I pondered doing a Dragon Age Pathfinder or whatnot but eh. Up in the air.

Temple: Waiting on the monk
Forest: waiting on the figher

Can anyone answer this about Martial Arts: Empty Hand Mastery?

Does the increased Unarmed Damage from Open Hand Mastery scale if your unarmed damage goes up later from other things, like classes in Monk?

Thanks

https://dndtools.net/feats/ori...-hand-mastery--3680/

I would say yes. But that's also a lot of feats to get too specially if not a monk.

6 total plus ranks in bluff.

If talking about your character:
You got Improved Unarmed Strike. Need to pick another feat (Your still level 3), so thats 2. So your looking at level 18.
6th 1 feat, 9th 1 feat, 12th 1 feat, 15 1 feat, 18 then can take it.

If your a monk you can probably get it sooner or possibly a fighter.

Oh, I plan on following the path for character reasons and plan on leveling monk to help me get there. I was just wondering, not just for this game, if I take that feat when my Monk unarmed damage is 1d6 it increases to 1d8, but when my monk damage increases to 1d8 from leveling up, does Empty Hand Technique then raise it to 1d10, etc.?

Thanks

Will post later tonight! I think I can get the wu jen and samurai in too.

Yay!

I did ponder a Dragon Age Pathfinder game or possibly a Skyrim Pathfinder.

Should be able to get the new people into the game today or tonight!

Sorry about the delay, I thought we had a 3rd PC, but I noticed they were an NPC.

Will post later on today!

I did ponder running a DND or Pathfinder game based on the Walking Dead. Like clerics don't know Turn Undead. There's no Raise Dead. Healing is fine. Once your dead, your dead but when the dead start to come back alive....

All set?

What do you think would get the most PCs interested?

1. Pathfinder/Walking Dead
2. Pathfinder/Dragon Age Inquisition
3. Free Form/Dragon Age Inquistion
4. Pathfinder/Dinosaurs
5. Pathfinder/Skyrim
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:49, Thu 04 June 2020.

I personally don’t like games  existing in an established IP usually. That dinosaurs game sounds fun because I have always wanted a primitive game where the standard races are Feral versions of the race.

Well its the actual world but alright.

Think its a toss up between pathfinder/walking dead and dinos!

Dragon Age could be fun but really your working for the Inquistor or whatnot. Depends if I run it in 1st, 2nd or 3rd games.

I actually pondered re-starting the game with new people and having them start as a group together.

Ideas?

Restarting could be interesting. And the group is pretty good.

Shugenja, Wu Jen, Samurai, Fighter, Monk

I could come up with a different character to fill the void. Up to you or I can keep it the way things are going.

I'd be up for getting the group together.  It'd be great to know the guys in the other thread, and then we can take on some different sorts of challenges together.  :)

I wouldn't mind being in a single whole group

link to another game
Pathfinder: Skyrim :)

Waiting on a few posts

Should I start them all together, ignore what happened or merge them together?

Think we lost the Wu Jen.

I think it would be best to merge the two groups together in game if possible.

Trying to come up with a way to merge the group together. Hmm.

I'm still here!  Had a writing due-date I had to make, and had to cut myself off from the "fun" websites so I could get it done.

Forest: All set
Temple: Waiting on Zok

Interesting dilemna:

What do you think would be an interesting game?

Dinosaurs. Jurasic Park maybe? Or a island full of them. Stone Age. Or investigating them.

Undead that everyone doesn't think exist. Like Walking Dead. Everyone believes when you die, that's it. No coming back. But then people start to come back. And they are different. Very different.

Just pondering my next game, got stuff to work out!

Steampunk Walking Dead Pathfinder Game...

Hmm.

In reply to Rokugan (msg # 249):

I wanted to always play a vigilante in Pathfinder...but never found the right game.

Odd question: What's a good familiar for a level 1 halfling diviner? Core Only. More of a knowledge guru.

Weather has been nasty in CT so posting will be sporadic at best. Posting from the library. Sorry!

Hope the storm passes you swiftly and that you and yours are safe.

I am fine but theres virually no power

Um, I think the PC's waiting on responses from the NPC's. However, we do understand that you're having RW problems posting so we know you will post when you can. :)

Anyone interested in playing either a rogue type or arcanist in DND 3.5: Return to the Temple?

Also I did ponder combining the Forest with the Temple since it was down to 2 it seems. Like Hiromi ignores what happened and shows up at the temple? Think that is best to keep the game flowing.

This message was last edited by the GM at 03:01, Sat 26 Sept 2020.

Got any games I might be interested in?

updated post

Basically, Cal is just asking questions. He knows of the people there but not sure why they left or what happened just that he knows them, and knows they were helping the daughter. He knows about them but not sure how they were involved-just that they left.

In a nutshell he wants to know about the ceremony for the daughter to be 'brought back'.

Also there's several healers, some shugenja, sohei (very few). Most are monks.

Just to clear up a point of some confusion. When the word 'mentor' is used, is that to refer to the person who was previously called the Master? If not, then please explain who this 'mentor' is?

Mentor/Master same thing. The one that was attacked by the daughter. To some he's a mentor, others he's a master. Some he's a friend. He's well thought of to most people in the temple :)He's in charge but doesn't act on it often, offers wisdom, ect.

If curious what he is make Knowledge checks. He does look human.

Lost the druid do to IRL issues.

Waiting on Koko :)

The temple is pretty self-sustained. There's place for crops on the outskirts. No village around, besides the small village probably near the base of the mountains. Its a temple in the mountains.

Also you got no tracking ability. Survival makes it so you can survive in the wilderness-not track anything at least not easily. You can try to track it if its able to be tracked but the group knows the daughter climbed up a wall easily. You can guess which way she went as Koko followed in her general direction. Having Track just makes it easier.

There's a varity of things the group could do-possibly use magic. Warn the towns around the temple, ect.

If not sure about something, feel free to ask here or in a PM :)

You up for me shooting ahead? I will take in account using Zok'is Detect Magic as well?

As long as you take into account that Setsuko will be sending out people to the small village to warn them of the potential danger.

Also, Setsuko will try to get all the information she can on the places, people, animals, and dangers that they might encounter on their way.

What kind of magic or other advanced items are available to Setsuko for use on their trip. It would be nice if she could better outfit herself.

1) You can do it if you can convince them to leave or convince the head person right now to send them out. I'd say you could do that easily enough. Also you can just send out word via pigeons.

2) You can go to the libary but that's more along the lines of arcana and history, possibly religion and some nobility. Its really the history of the temple. But you need to make a Knowledge (Nature) check. Also it really depends on where your going. To the village, it depends. There's nothing but mountains and forest. If going after the Daughter, its a Knowledge (Nature) check. Survival works only if going out. Knowledge (Nature), Knowledge (Dungeonerring) ect. All are useful. Geography.

In a nutshell:
places: Knowledge (Geography)
people: Depends on the person(s)
animals: Depends on where you want to go so probably (Nature) or (Dungeering) but could be another type as well.
dangers that they might encounter on their way: Pretty random.

You can definatly try of course!

3) Your pretty limited on magic gear. It really depends on what you want. There's probably a storage area.

Also the group isn't in charge. You can talk to the ones in charge. Keep in mind Set and Zok haven't left the temple as they haven't had a reason other then the mission to get the flower with Qing. Koko has.

Cloak of the Resistance: +1 to all saving throws
Amulet of Alertness: +2 to Spot and Listen Checks
Kimono of Stealth: +2 to Hide and Move Silently
Sandles of Speed: +2 to Initative and Jump checks

Cure Light Wounds x2
Magic Fang
Shield of Faith +2

So who is taken what?

Tried to pick things as this is a Orienal Game.

So sandles instead of boots, kimono instead of a vest, ect. Just feel it fits a temple too!

BTW Sandles were used by Samurai. Boots of course were used.

There's gonna be some things of course if encountered like boots, regular clothes, ect :)

IMO:

Sandles of Speed: Koko
Amulet of Alertness: Set
Cloak of Resistance: Zok
Kimono of Stealth: Cal

But no need to do the above. Cal has a cloak of resistance.

Also keep in mind there's no need to give Cal anything. He's fine either way.

For potions:
Magic Fang: Set
Shield of Faith: I'd say Set but works for anyone
Cure Light Wounds: Zok, Set or Koko

To find out more about Blood Magic:
-Need to possibly find someone that uses it or knows about it
-Find a libary for it (that is if it can be taught through books)
-Find a place where it was used (not the dragon temple!)

Cal doesn't really know much about it besides its evil, probably takes over the soul/mind.

I'd also lean more towards the cloak for Zokiro, as the sandals and kimono enhance things that she is terrible at, so would only make her slightly less terrible.  The amulet is much the same - Zokiro has no stealth skills, no particular perception skills, and doesn't really jump much.

Probably a reason to grab them to make them better :)

But yeah its up to the group to figure out who gets what.

Alternatively, better Initiative never hurts a spellcaster...

Nope.

Unless there are any objects between the players, Setsuko will accept the potions for use by the party and the amulet.

In general, she would be inclined to leave behind any of the other items that are not claimed for use, as she sees them belonging to the temple.

Is that acceptable to everyone?

I mean, all of the items have some use, and we could certainly use all the help we can get. Certainly we'll return them later, once we've found the daughter.

Ok.

Just pick who gets what and the magical potions will get uses at some point.

Yes the temple gave them to you. They are yours.

Sandles of Speed: Koko (Good for her to possible get her Iajistu Focus) but good for Zok as well.
Amulet of Alertness: Set
Cloak of Resistance: Zok
Kimono of Stealth: Maybe Cal or someone else.

For potions:
Magic Fang: Set
Shield of Faith: I'd say Set but works for anyone
Cure Light Wounds: Zok, Set or Koko

*stretches*

21:33, Today: Zokiro Mirumoto rolled 13 using 1d20+1.  Survival roll.

I mean, I don't have any ranks in Survival, so that's just a straight Wisdom roll of, "Welp, I hope something's out here."

So Zok is watching for 2-3 hours, Set is watching secondly for 2-3 hours and Koko is watching third for 2-3 hours. The healer will be awake for whichever wakes him up be it Zok, Set or Koko correct? Or can be awake for the 4th for 2-3 hours. Up to you :)

03:39, Today: Zokiro Mirumoto rolled 12 using 1d20+1.  Listen check.

Going to be on vacation through the 9th of November, should able to resume on the 10th. Possibly could post before then, but no promises! NPC me if necessary!

Wow! Have a great trip and stay safe!

In reply to Zokiro Mirumoto (msg # 295):

Enjoy your vacation!

Think waiting on Set and someone to wake up Cal? :)

Ironic: The only person who can see in the dark (darkvision) is Cal haha.

No one bothered to do the knowledge rolls :) He does indeed look human.

In reply to Rokugan (msg # 300):

Happy Turkey Day!

Given that Setsuko did make an effort to look at maps of the areas they anticipated travelling through, does she know of any human or humanoid settlements nearby?

I don't believe you were given any map plus ICly this is only the 2nd time Zok and Set left the templ in a long time as there's no reason to really leave. The map I posted here is OOC knowledge to get a feel of the area. Plus your 'following' a 'trail'. Your going in a somewhat straight line.

I'll shoot out a post later on today.

Keep in mind your travelling in a general direction after the creature that may be able to fly who has about a days travel ahead of you without a tracker. Least you got 2 people that can survive but can't find tracks and follow them :)

I will take a look at the map, figure out where you started from but it will be in the mountains. Thanks!

Everyone: Attribute Bonus +1

And Merry Christmas to you!  :)

I hope that everyone enjoyed their holidays and that we can all get back into enjoying our game. :)

Unfortunatly, I may remove the game :(
