Lady Quar'ssysn, you will be the party leader essentially. You'll be getting a team together to help you get your crown. We'll have to think of equal or near equal compensation for the people helping you get this.

OOC:

Alright we are starting to have a party.

Welcome everyone so far.

Lady Q will be acting as party leader, not necessarily the 'face' I don't know what she is making one hundred percent.

We actually have two liches. An amazing undead turn out!

Moto and Irena.

Everyone at least knows Lady Q as she made this party. I'll leave it to you all to decide how well. Perhaps everyone knows at least a little about each other being level 19 and all. Practically legends.

Hello

I want to say welcome and for what you would know about Lady Q
She is the High Priestess in the Elven Nation (Kyonin) for many years. In the public eyes she looks to be a High Elf but for those that have adventured with her before knows she is a Drow.

Not sure of what others wish to pursue a joint background, if so send a PM and we can collaborate.

So I haven't made my decision on class and all that yet.  So two liches and an elven High Priestess.

So would a melee type be most fancied?  What do you all think?

Apologies, however at this tier of play im unsure how that could have been a secret.

But again, apologies, i didnt see anything stating you wanted that to be a secret. Oops!

Play what you want. Dont worry about what the party needs. At 19 most players could solo adventure paths. Even without building min max style.

Do you mean an evocation specialist wizard? Or some such? As 3rd party content is off limits when using templates to stay balanced. Likewise, using 3rd party content makes templates off limits.

Yes, an evocation specialist (for the most part). And no, she won't be using 3rd party stuff (there's barely anything which helps that concept). Now, if she had been a conjurer instead there would be tons of handy 3rd party feats which would help with that...

Re: OOC:

So at the beginning of the thread, we had a basic idea of what people are playing.  For my character, I need to know who I am going to have for my 3 wards, course I can change them up anytime but it will help to know what you all are.  This is important as it lets me do many things for them.

I am a Human Warder Zweihander Sentinel/Sworn Protector.

Re: OOC:

To know more about each other shall the rolls be Knowledge Arcane or History?

Also, if Legend Lore was cast on anyone how much would one get to know about them?

Just to be clear, she would of cast Legend Lore on each of you to determine if she can succeed on the mission.

Re: OOC:

Well depends

For general race info:
I'm an outsider so would take The Planes
Those who are undead would take Religion
A humanoid would take Local.

Local also covers Legends so it would probably be the one needed, I did make a check but DM not responded to it yet

I went to post and her post appeared so I changed a bit before she posted, Qudy arrived about the same time.

I assume you know spellcraft high enough that you would recognize he entered from ethereal plane using ethereal jaunt. Prior to that it would of been difficult to find me as I rolled nearly 50 on stealth.

Like you're casting legend lore at the table for 10-40 minutes each?

Typically using diplomacy is not legal against another player. But in this case, the player would have to divulge info as I dont know. I know minor details about each player. I know a lot about Moto though.

Knowledge the Planes probably wouldn't be good for most anyone here.

For Kane, and Lady Q knowledge Local or nobility given his military background that he publicy shared with everyone and her background that she did not...

Moto would "TECHNICALLY" by RAW be under Knowledge religion. Which I think is stupid just because you are undead you are under religion. However, to bring value equally to all the skills they had to put it somewhere. Does make sense that clerics would be 'trained' to deal with such matters. However, still weird that it is automatically religion.

I'm also not changing it thought lol.

Irena would be either knowledge nature or local I declare. Due to her build.

Balen..knowledge local? Until Balen decides on his sheet, local for now.

Qudy Knowledge the Planes or Local

Knowledge the Planes would be for outsiders typically.
Irena and Moto are DC 39

Kane DC 29

Qudy and Lady Q are DC 34

Ash is DC 39

sorry for such a long diatribe.  it's something I think my character would do.  I'd like for us to be a "party" going on an "adventure" but I don't think that's how we have things set up in general.  Am I wrong?  Seems to me that we are more like the dirty dozen, a bunch of hired guns who aren't all going to survive by the end of the movie, but we're going to give them one hell of a fight before the credits roll...

Re: OOC:

No, I think it's a good point. Lady Q has called us to do a task and is going with us to do it.

I think Balen is assuming that she wants the Crown above all else, but the rest is a group thing because we're here at her request.

It's probably just a question because normally the quest giver who wants something like the crown doesn't come with you on your quest and the party can bicker about who gets what.

OOC I'm fine with anything honestly, I'm just having Balen respond to what he's seen and heard since arriving as best as I've interpreted it.

Moto Trema:
OOC: My character should not have to agree to an unfair arrangment just to advance the story. Nor should he. 

I'm a bit lost here for there was no agreement placed upon your character.  It was your character trying to place unfair arrangements upon other characters.  No one but Moto wanted an Oath placed.  Everyone else was accepting the mission as it is and trust in everyone as a team.

In reply to Lady Quar'ssysn (msg # 73):

Maybe agreement is the wrong word, perhaps unfair situation or proposed deal? I also think that's the problem, no agreement at all. Moto is Law Evil.

Look at the situation from my character's point of veiw. A mysterious stranger (your character) invites Moto and many others to a meeting, then asks for a favor in helping her regain some kind of lost artifact. This favor is VERY high risk, granted with promise of pay off, but then your character refuses to pledge not to betray them. No offense, but why on earth would Moto (or anyone) agree to that?

I understand we are all Rping our characters and why your character may have reservations. I'm saying  Moto also has deep reservations and the fact he showed up to your invite at all was a show of faith.

The character concept was fine. Moto only wanted a small token in the form of an oath, one he himself was willing to make. Moto was willing to work out a deal, Quar'ssysn was not. It's just a game, no big deal. I wish you all luck and hope you have a great adventure. :)

Re: OOC:

Moto, player to player talk for a second.  Ash is LE as well and walking into the same situation.  However, I "made up" that I was returning a long time owed favor for helping Lady Q.  We didn't come up with that together but Lady Q. did a great job running with my comment and not dashing it against the rocks.

We are 19th level.  We don't do anything for free.  We don't take things lightly.  If we were all good then we'd be doing this for the greater good (and maybe some are) ... but it is for us as players to develop our story.  I did that in the simplest way I could think.  No biggie.

My character runs an army of minions but I didn't take Leadership ... why?  Because I have no reason to tap that resource.  I'm on my own, returning a favor to someone I owe.   That's me coming up with backstory.

I'd be happy to help come up with backstory that would keep you in the game if that was your wish.  I don't mean that to be off putting or condescending at all.

To you, and your LE, contract makes sense.  With a slight adjustment you could simply say that you made an agreement with Lady Q to come help for some specific payment.  That's why you're here instead of doing something else with your life.  Again, no biggie.  The train hasn't left the track so far that it can't be recovered.

But, this is your fun too.  If this doesn't seem fun for you as a player then for sure stop.  Writing takes time away from other things and I'd hate for you to waste time writing here if it wasn't enjoyable.  :)

Re: OOC:

Everything is still salvageable.

Lady Q, the tavern is in Death's Domain
 Her domain is not on material plane. Just strong and powerful souls (PCs) can see it at certain locations on the prime. It isnt actually on the prime though. Her domain is kind of like its own plane, similar to that of shadow. It allows her to travel everywhere faster than the speed of thought to collect all souls that are deemed to pass on.

But she doesnt only collect souls of the prime she collects all of them. She doesnt kill anyone. Just takes their souls when they die to wherever they go. Heaven, hell, Etc. If someone cheated someone out of life it wasnt death, she merely collects. It would be something else.

Moto I can agree to a thread that eventually links back up with the party.

Perhaps they come to your aid as you both pillage the lich lord's castle and in whoch case a truce is made.

I'd assumed for Balen as well that we all had had dealings with Lady Q sometime in our past as well, whatever they may have been.

So he's here at her call because of a past relationship of some sort with her. *shrug*

I'm good to just move on past the whole oath thing. Moto seemed super interesting so I'd hate to lose him in the game.

Alright we are starting to have a party.

Welcome everyone so far.

Lady Q will be acting as party leader, not necessarily the 'face' I don't know what she is making one hundred percent.

We actually have two liches. An amazing undead turn out!

Moto and Irena.

Everyone at least knows Lady Q as she made this party. I'll leave it to you all to decide how well. Perhaps everyone knows at least a little about each other being level 19 and all. Practically legends.


Ash and Balen assumed correctly. Everyone was supposed to know her and possibly each other.

Re: OOC:

I'm going to start the healing process.  Ash knows all of you.  He's worked with all of you.  He owes Lady Q. a debt that taking this mission at her request will fulfill.

Ash is a Zen Monk Archer and Lord of Nightmares.  In the dream realm he holds power over an army of nightmares.  In the Prime he's just a guy on a mission.  If it sleeps it has every right to fear Ash.

Ash is practical, always tells the truth, and never expects the same in return.  He has no family and doesn't keep "friends" in the traditional sense.  Mostly he views relationships as a means to an end...or the interview process for a new nightmare minion.

In combat he's a whirlwind of arrows and movement.  However, even though he can attack at range (quite a ways away) he spends most battles in the enemy's face.  Most notable item is his bow which draws power from the quasi-elemental plane of Ash.  Most notable skill(s) Perception and Stealth.  Ash is not a caster, but he can produce some magical effects.

These are things all PCs know (including what I've put in The Cast section)...over to you all :)

Re: OOC:

I had already told Lady Q this in PMs, but I'll provide here assuming we have adventured together.

You would know at least the basics about Qudy, he's a Half-Janni (Human other half). Rogue by profession. Well skilled in dozen or more Rogue skills including perception, stealth, disable device, use magic device, perception, acrobatics (he can easily tumble through aoo areas even when completely surrounded), sense motive, sleight of hand, bluff, diplomacy, and sense motives. He fights well with two weapons getting three attacks with both his rapier and dagger. His weapons are ghost touch, heartseeker, and keen magical blades made as a set. He has been known to feint with the rapier and strike with the dagger. He can hover while flying without problems and has been known to do that while using his longbow to pelt enemies. His bow is magical too....has to have distance and seeker to hit some things he has in the past. His armor is also ghost touch and glamored. He can Enlarge himself, or Reduce himself. He can turn invisible, He can use ethereal jaunt as well as speak with animals. While decent at fighting he usually prefers other means to accomplish his goals if it can be accomplished without fighting.

Re: OOC:

What everyone would probably know or have heard rumor of or know from encountering Balen in the past:

He is a decent man if a bit gruff and curmudgeonly. He is incredibly learned and even if he's never met anyone here directly, he knows as much about them as if he'd met them (no secrets or anything, but my lowest knowledge check on a 1 is 43, so...). He is a master of manipulating raw magic, primarily in the form of force and telekinetic effects. Balen appears to be human, even with true sight, but he's been alive for far longer than a normal human. At least two-three centuries. You do know that sometimes he appears older as he does now, others he appears younger. Some have seen him take the form of a pixie and others though his magic in the past as well.

If you want to have more connection with Balen or have good knowledge checks, let me know and I can share more.

Did anyone mention the name of the Lich Lord's domain? I can't remember if I missed it or it was just talked about without a name. If a name has not been mentioned, whoever posts next name his kingdom. His castle, including the grounds, will be 1 mile by 1 mile. The castle itself is merely 1/6 this size. Similar, but not quite, Versaillles. Just large for no reason. Gives me ample room to work with. This one won't have over 700 rooms though lol.

Re: OOC:

Hi guys!
Thank you for the warm welcome :)

Rhum is not done yet, so I hope you guys can carry on without me so that I dont hold up the game.

As for what Rhum is bringing to the party, besides fun and beer, is skills and some fighting capabilities.
I hope I dont step on anybodies toes when I make a rogue(unchained) with one or two levels of sorcerer. I know there is at least one rogue here already, but I hope that is fine. If not, I will change the build :)

Rhum is a half elf/half fiend that is not neccessarily evil, but balancing closely on the edge towards it.

I had hoped that maybe Rhum had done some odd jobs with Qudy, a joint heist of some kind, and most definetely have worked with or for Lady Quar'ssysn (damn, that is hard to write :p) in the past. Maybe even owing her a huge favor, such as Ash.

I am more than willing to hear you guys out if you have any opinios, as it is right at the start of creation.

Literally i will be issued a pass that I show to police if pulled over for breaking curfew or lockdown.

I understood that the tavern was in his domain and as soon as we left the tavern the Lich would be aware of us, kind of like what Qudy said.

Re: OOC:

So, I didn't post last night. Apologies. Hopefully it's slower tonight at work. You would think it would be with everything happening but it actually gives increased workload due to more strain on all networks. More people are using it all at once vs everyone going about their day and using it at different times. This is causing high utilization of bandwidth that the systems weren't designed to support. But of course nobody wants to spend an extra billion on equipment they don't need for only 3-4 months ish (or longer depending). Because once everything stabilized companies would have a billion in gear they don't need nor would they get what they paid for it back.

Anyway, that was an over explanation on, "I'll try to post tonight."

as an FYI, I mainly only post from work. Don't really get on rpol on my days off.

The great question though is will we return to normal after this. If anyone ever wanted to move us to be a post scarcity society (such as Star Trek) now is the time. I see some idiot talking heads wanting this to last for up to 18 months, there would be a Revolution before the end of 18 months.....

Companies are finding out they can have folks work from home, less overhead. People are finding they can work from home, less traveling. I do not think the economy nor social aspects will return to normal in the short term even if it ended tomorrow.

Re: OOC:

Right to it Qudy!

Pathfinder has arcane spells that let you take the shapes/some powers of: Angels, Animals, Magic Beasts, Monstrous Humaniods, Dragons, Giants, Plants, Elementals, Fey, Plane Touched creatures (aasimar/tiefling/genasi), and even undead.

BUT, there are no general "outsider" spells or "fiend shape" spells. So basically the only things you can't turn into are contructs (that I can find), demons, devils, daemons, axiomatic, or anarchic creatures. Or generic "outsiders" of which, Nightmare is of course one.

Re: OOC:

it'll be no problem. I design encounters to be fun and challenging, not to kill you. Also, if I happen to be too great a strategist i start to pull punches.

I almost killed two level 10 gestalts with a drider, for example, and then started to fudge rolls not to kill them. It was to test their knowledge level in combat and use of their character sheets. I don't know if someone made the sheets for them or they just didn't know how to use all the stuff they put in.


they also didn't work well together and shot each other trying to hit the drider. it was a total mess.


only boss encounters can have player death but this is a fantasy game. the players could resurrect you but also your spirit will arrive in its proper, or improper, final destination and you could always role play out your escape. its pathfinder anything is possible.


lastly, i make things up as I go, so there was no preset built encounters designed. Only end game ideals for the chapter were made.

The Lich, some of the lich's lieutenants etc

They also detailed the 3rd imaskarkana in a later supplement.

I did a whole adventure around the Imaskarkana for my weekly group way back. It included Halaster because he was the only one still living who spoke the original Imaskari language and I either built or read that you needed that to unlock the artifacts without dying by them.

All of the above seem thematically on point with Ash.

I definitely think each of us having one of the seven Imaskarcana makes sense and the 7th would be on theme for Ash (Key holding all the knowledge of planar creation) but really from what I can find the intent of the artifacts are for the DM to create them to have whatever powers make sense for their campaigns.

Naga Crown for Lady Q.

Something of similar power, no more than 10 percent more powerful, would be fine.

Once you all agree on something we can implement it, you can RP it out and we can search for  the next thing.
