[Guy] is it a hand axe or battle axe
[BiBo!!!] its my job
[Master] chuckles, well I did the research and picked out a place for you to park the knarr closer to Jistille estates
[Master] and ways back and forth
[Master] etc
[Master] grins
[Guy] awesome
[Master] and it is a battle axe
[Guy] i forgot about that small detail lol
[BiBo!!!] finished johns adventure then I guess?
[Master] yes
[Guy] any news yet marco?
[Master] how about the job?
[Guy] we have a new weapon
[BiBo!!!] just got a letter in the mail. seems I got the job
[Master] YES!
[Master] congrats
[Guy] awesome
[Guy] way to go
[BiBo!!!] because I am awesome
[Guy] so i guess shadowrun is on hiatus?
[BiBo!!!] well, job doesnt start til april
[BiBo!!!] so not til then at least
[Master] and any other details?
[Master] is it in the same prefecture? etc
[Master] any move required?
[BiBo!!!] same prefecture, just different city. about 20 minutes up the road
[BiBo!!!] move isnt required, but I plan on it anyway
[BiBo!!!] gonna give my apartment to whoever takes my job
[Master] did Tara ever follow through?
[Master] do you think she is qualified? or wants it?
[BiBo!!!] yeah, I just was talking with my boss yesterday about it
[BiBo!!!] no idea about her qualification
[Master] I know she can teach
[BiBo!!!] or desire
[Master] if she gets there she will do well, she always does
[BiBo!!!] my boss has her resume at least
[Master] she used to work for the newspaper
[Master] the port
[Master] the county
[BiBo!!!] yeah
[BiBo!!!] saw that
[Master] and how about you Guy? how is work there?
[Guy] meh its fast food
[Master] there are good ones and bad ones though
[Guy] wish i could find something different but nothing is hiring around here
[Guy] so i cant tell them what they can do with this job yet
[Master] you ever look at eLance?
[Master] for piece work on various things
[Guy] whats that
[Master] bring in a bit of extra cash at least
[Master] a place I hired people from to do some of hte maps
[BiBo!!!] I looked for an artist there when I was needing one for my book
[Master] you list your skills
[Master] your name can pop up for jobs
[Master] and or you can bid on them as well
[Master] was tempted to grab someone for a power point I am doing
[Guy] unforutnately ive spent so much time in fast food i dont have any real skills
[Master] sure you do
[Master] data entry, etc
[Master] just basic design stuff can pay off there
[Master] not saying it is the be all end all
[Master] but I typically find what I need for a price I can afford
[Master] how did your search there turn out Marco?
[Guy] i may suggest that for kaz she could be good for that
[Guy] personally id love to get into a real restaraunt
[Guy] id gladly start as a dishwasher and work my way up to being a chef
[Master] what is stopping you?
[Guy] mostly the location
[Master] how so?
[Master] do they have food trucks in your area?
[Guy] st louis is the closest big city and thats over an hour away
[BiBo!!!] well, I ended up finding someone directly on deviant art. I could see example work there, so it worked out better for me
[Guy] nope
[Master] no need for a big city
[Master] just need a place where people need food,
[Master] can make at home and sell out of the trunk of the car
[Master] until you are established
[Master] and I do find interesting things there too Marco
[Master] and by the way have either of you downloaded the currnet google earth plug in to see where you are in the world and where you are heading?
[Master] the link is on the Campaign World page
[BiBo!!!] never used google earth before
[BiBo!!!] so havent downloaded it
[Master] it does require Google Earth to work, ;)
[Master] but it has the world map on it
[Master] and lots of towns, cities, etc.
[Master] a lot of the story arcs are on there
[Guy] dont know if i have the absolute newest version
[Master] place names, etc
[Master] Portown is on the latest version
[Master] is how you can check
[Master] is from December
[Master] oh, he casually mentions, it includes several dragon hunting grounds marked out too
[BiBo!!!] lol
[Master] plus many of hte locations and all story arcs are linked back to the site and open up inside of Google Earth
[BiBo!!!] my character isnt so interested in hunting dragons as he is in saying that he happened to have already killed one
[Master] more to the point, is that from Rivers Bend you woudl have to travel down the Baikal River
[Master] until you come to the Queens Channel
[Master] and then down to Portown
[Master] the trip takes 11 days by the Knarr
[Master] is over 160 miles
[BiBo!!!] though I suppose dragon hunting would be preferable to undead hunting. at least with dragons he has a chance of affecting them
[Master] hmmm, I might have that number of days off, let me check the math, that looks strange
[Master] nope that is right
[Master] 10 point somethign days
[Master] and I just found an typo
[Master] said Spreading their legs
[Guy] rofl
[Master] instead of Streching their legs
[BiBo!!!] nice
[BiBo!!!] you found llath's contribution to the site
[Master] grins
[Master] ok so first off are you seriously keeping the battle ax?
[BiBo!!!] whats the story with the ax?
[Guy] yes
[BiBo!!!] can you even use an ax?
[Master] at this point all you know is that it is apparently magical and could be intrepreted as a curse
[Guy] indigo or sarengar can use it, the penalties are smaller for them
[BiBo!!!] and whats the curse?
[Master] that was on the note
[Master] the draw blood
[BiBo!!!] what note?
[Guy] which wont be a problem with as much combat as we see lol
[Master] finding the exact quote in the chat log for you
[Master] Steel Drawn, Blood Seeking
[BiBo!!!] thats all we know about it?
[Master] and guy there is a problem with the idea tha tyou have to kill something every so often while you have the axe
[BiBo!!!] yeah
[Master] living in the city, etc
[BiBo!!!] training
[Master] and at home
[BiBo!!!] you will never ever do it
[Guy] we do have that invasion
[Master] unless you plan on changing to become a butcher
[Master] what invasion?
[Master] the Goblins?
[BiBo!!!] whenever we have weeks of training downtime, guess what you will be doing
[Master] that was last year
[BiBo!!!] hint, not training
[Master] I just want you to think abou the ramifications, I am not saying you cannot take the axe
[Guy] we dont know anything about the axe at the moment
[Master] you can leave it at the Lodge also
[Master] hvae him research it for you
[Master] come back in a while
[BiBo!!!] dont you dare think about keeping an axe that requires you to kill on a regular basis
[Master] lol
[Guy] we dont know that for sure
[Guy] at least not yet
[BiBo!!!] even if we have a reasonable suspicion
[BiBo!!!] you arent even proficient in the damn thing
[Guy] and leaving it wont settle the hauntings
[BiBo!!!] just because its there doesnt mean you have to take it
[Guy] which is what we were hired for
[Master] it will settle the hauntings because no one will draw it
[Master] use it
[BiBo!!!] oh, so we are going to take it and have it haunt us instead
[Master] it will remain locked on a wall as a display
[Master] or you can lock it up too carry it around
[Master] I can use all the new story hooks you can throw my way
[Guy] lol so that settles it we take it
[BiBo!!!] if we do take it, the only reason would be to potentially destroy it. no using cursed berserking axes!
[BiBo!!!] we dont need serial killers in the party
[Master] Oh then we should remember to tell TMO that
[Guy] noo we just have a serial sex fiend in the party lol
[BiBo!!!] hey, llath CAN go without sex (and in fact has for a long time). he just prefers not to. there is no curse forcing him to do anything
[Master] The other thing is you have this magic axe, you could maybe trade it with someone for a magic weapon you can actually use
[BiBo!!!] there is nothing that the axe does that makes it worth a killing curse. especially if you arent already proficient
[Master] this is the biggest city for several hundred miles
[Guy] thats true too
[BiBo!!!] cuz then we will totally be responsible for the mayhem that ensues once we trade it
[BiBo!!!] totally an option let me tell you
[BiBo!!!] bob, we arent evil pcs. we cant do that in good conscience and you know it
[Guy] hey we can warn whoever we trade it to
[BiBo!!!] which would decrease the value to nothing. who is going to want to trade us an uncursed item for a cursed one?
[Master] you could find someone to trade with as long as you are honest about it
[Master] the church might like it
[BiBo!!!] they would trade instead of wishing a donation?
[Master] and this is not a curse like "it will not leave your hand" it is a curse as in bad things happen
[Master] I am just offering up potential you guys have to decide what it is worth and what to do
[BiBo!!!] do we know what it does other than force us to become serial killers?
[Master] +2 axe, but everytime it is used that creature emerges and attacks until it is killed
[Master] every attack it drains strength
[Master] it cannot be hurt by the axe
[Master] that is what you know from experience so far
[BiBo!!!] can it be hurt otherwise?
[Guy] yes
[Master] they killed it three times?
[Master] or twice?
[Master] was not here the whole time
[Guy] twice it ran away once
[BiBo!!!] so it comes back each time I guess
[Master] apparently yes
[BiBo!!!] and defeating it stops its attacking I guess?
[Guy] for a little while at least
[BiBo!!!] it doesnt come back to kill later is what I am getting at
[Master] the next time the axe is used it comes back
[Master] you can trade it as long as you give the full story of what you know
[BiBo!!!] but as long as you dont use the axe again, the target is safe?
[Master] if you kill somethign with the axe
[Master] and the creature
[Master] then the creature does not come back till the next time the axe is used
[Master] that is your emperical data so far
[BiBo!!!] so... the creature keeps attackign until it is killed, even if the target is dead?
[Master] you have not killed someone and not killed the creature
[Master] and vice versa
[Guy] trading to a church is sounding better
[BiBo!!!] indeed
[Guy] hmm makes me wonder about that girl now
[BiBo!!!] what girl?
[Master] grins
[Guy] the serving girl that suggested her dad wouldnt let the axe go unused
[Master] the quiet shy girl in the back room of the old Adventurers Lodge where they keep all sorts of magical weapons
[Guy] bob next time you see john ytell him i said he sucks lol
[Master] sure
[Guy] he was the DM so you are actually off the hook for the moment lol
[Guy] brb
[Master] so Marco trade for what? or just get GP for it?
[BiBo!!!] well, a +2 weapon that we can actually use would be nice. no need to keep collecting all these weapons that we dont have proficiencies in
[Guy] yeah
[BiBo!!!] if it has some cool special abilities, even better
[Master] chuckles, will be a standard magical weapon
[Master] that means somethign to the church and they want used to fight evil, etc
[BiBo!!!] so... +2 sword +3 vs evil. down with that
[Master] need to know who and or which weapon
[Master] correct
[Master] but a +2 harpoon, perfectly fine
[BiBo!!!] llath only uses slings, and even that very rarely
[Master] Branwyn uses Daggers, Indigo uses Short Swords,
[Master] Sarengar?
[BiBo!!!] so whatever fighter doesnt have a +2 weapon already, trade it for whatever they use best
[Guy] i use cutlass and crossbow mostly
[Guy] i do have trident an d net but havent used either one yet
[Master] you can get 1 dozen bolts for the crossbow that are +2 each
[BiBo!!!] unless they are bolts of returning, that is so not a fair trade
[Guy] rather have something that wont run out
[Master] so Cutlass, Short Sword, Dagger, or?
[Master] any other options to consider?
[Guy] actual crossbow
[BiBo!!!] ring of protection?
[Master] no weapon for weapon
[BiBo!!!] does it have to be a weapon for a weapon?
[BiBo!!!] ah
[Master] and actual crossbow would not work, there are not really magical crossbows
[BiBo!!!] there arent?
[Master] I can only think of one
[BiBo!!!] crossbow of speed
[Master] the rest are magical bolts for crossbows
[Master] exactly
[BiBo!!!] surely there must be crossbows with just +'s to them
[Master] they would be extremely rare
[Master] possible but rare
[BiBo!!!] crossbows are silly anyway
[Master] trying to compare your weapon choice with the potential churches in the city
[Master] each religion and who would want to take that Axe out of circulation and put soemthing else back in
[Guy] oh and my crssbow is a heavy not a light
[BiBo!!!] even better
[Guy (to GM only)] Character sheet for Sarengar modified:
[BiBo!!!] I dont really see the point of crossbows vs normal bows. they are so slow
[Master] crossbows have a lesser non proficient penalty
[Guy] they hit a little harder
[BiBo!!!] their damage is only slightly better, but you are shooting so much less
[BiBo!!!] especially with the heavy ones
[Master] true
[Master] so Sarengar with a Cutlass?
[BiBo!!!] heavy is like a shot every other round or something right?
[Master] or did you want to try out a trident?
[BiBo!!!] as opposed to 2 shots a round
[Master] what other ranged weapons ?
[Master] you have the spear too still
[BiBo!!!] what fighter doesnt have a +2 weapon. lets start with that
[Guy] we never did find out anything about the spear
[Master] tha twould be everyone
[Guy] nobody has a +2
[Master] and the fighters are Indigo and Sarengar
[BiBo!!!] thought we had at least one in the party
[Master] is why I was listing types earlier, to be an equal choice weapon instead of to one person
[Master] but I do not think you have any cross over between the party except maybe dagger
[BiBo!!!] well, it isnt going to be a communal weapon in the end. its gonna be someone specific using it
[Master] very true
[BiBo!!!] so... I dunno, unless there is a better arguement for who should get it, we could just roll a die to see who gets it, then try and get whatever weapon they use the most
[Guy] thats works for me
[Master] between Sarangar and Indigo as the two fighters?
[BiBo!!!] yeah. its silly to give it to a non fighter
[Master] you can just assign it to Sarengar then,
[BiBo!!!] thats like giving the spell scroll to a fighter
[BiBo!!!] okay, fine. sarengar, name your weapon of choice
[Guy] cutlass
[Master] Indigo does have better fighting skills,
[Master] this will help Sarengar keep up
[Master] ok so +2 cutlass
[BiBo!!!] +3 vs evil?
[BiBo!!!] oh oh
[BiBo!!!] +3 vs pirates
[Master] chuckles,
[BiBo!!!] that would be an awesome cutlass
[Master] I will come up with a story for it
[BiBo!!!] can it PLEASE be +3 vs pirates?
[Guy (to GM only)] Character sheet for Sarengar modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Cutlass -- Magical Adj: +2 (+1),
[Master] but straight +2 cutlass from the Kayugan temple
[Guy] Sarengar: Attack: Cutlass: ((15-(d20+1))+2) [1d20=7] 9 [MODIFIED (+2)]
[Guy] ok got it right i think
[Master] yeap
[Master] but you need to change the damage mod also
[Master] you only changed the to hit mod I think
[Master] I can check if you want
[Guy] yeah thats all i needed to change right
[Master] no +2 to hit, +2 to damage
[Guy] well i changed the magic mod
[Guy] Sarengar: Damage v SM: Cutlass: ((1d8+1)+1) [1d8=6] 8 [MODIFIED (+1)]
[Master] now try
[Master] just fixed
[Master] Sarengar: Damage v SM: Church's Cutlass: ((1d8+1)+1+2) [1d8=4] 8 [MODIFIED (+2)]
[Master] Sarengar: Damage v L: Church's Cutlass: ((1d6)+1+2) [1d6=1] 4 [MODIFIED (+2)]
[Master] yeap
[Guy] i froze
[Master] I was editing your sheet
[Guy] ok
[Master] and what are you doing about transport to Jistille?
[Master] Sarengar has not actually been there
[Master] are you taking anyone with you?
[Master] there is the grey blob that will be TMO's character
[Master] you pick up here int eh city
[Master] but beyond that
[Guy] we were going to take the knarr as far as possible
[Master] I was thinking Renden,
[Master] or ?
[Guy] umm none of our characters have ever been there
[Master] any other potential henchmen?
[BiBo!!!] jistille is our "home" ?
[Master] yes
[Master] Branwyn is the Court Mage
[Master] there
[BiBo!!!] pretty useless court mage if you are never in court.
[Master] well she was on a mission for a favor for someone in the Estates, plus the mission for helping with the plague, plus the mission for bringng Kristelle back from the dead
[Master] grins
[Master] but will be home for a good long while now
[Master] as training, etc
[Master] brb dogs wnat to go out
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] sorry for that
[Master] Nyrma is out at a celebration dinner
[Master] today was her last day at work
[Guy] cool
[Master] but the question for Guy remains, potential Henchmen?
[Master] second fighter? you want to play Renden your self?
[Guy] honestly the only henchmen id rather have are of the animal kind
[Master] TMO will be a thief, we know that
[Master] and that is not out of the question
[Master] that is how Rangers work
[Master] but rather than a follower would be a "henchman" who does not go up in level
[BiBo!!!] just you will likely end up with a fish or something
[Guy] i prefer to focus on just 1 character, that way i dont have them bleed into each other
[Guy] yes and no
[Master] what creature woudl Sarengar want? that fits with swamps, water, etc
[BiBo!!!] my mind is naturally fractured, so I like having more than one character :)
[Guy] there are aquatic followers that arent fish
[Master] turtle? frog?
[Master] grins
[BiBo!!!] isnt it something you roll off a chart or something once you get to a certain level?
[Master] those are followers
[Master] and those are more developed, this would be a substitute henchman,
[BiBo!!!] a ranger gets some sort of somethign right?
[BiBo!!!] oh
[Master] yes
[BiBo!!!] do you have animal training?
[Guy] i can have a triton
[Guy] and not yet
[Master] this is like the bear that john had that was a fighter polymorphed into the bear
[Master] and no to triton, those are sea creatures not lakes and rivers
[Master] selkies, not mermaids
[Master] and no
[Master] not that either
[Master] Eagle?
[BiBo!!!] neried
[BiBo!!!] sprite
[Guy] and actually i dont need a special skill to train my animal followers
[BiBo!!!] not your animal followers no, but this isnt that bob said
[Guy] no eagle but an osprey
[Master] this would be a very simple type of thing, followers come later that actually fully understand etc
[Master] an Osprey works
[Guy] an otter is another choice
[Master] semi tame, hangs out around with you, if you take training can teach it or spells to communicate with it etc
[Master] both work well for you
[Master] they will not attack the party in normal situations
[Master] will do what they think you want
[Master] they like hanging out with you, free food, etc
[Master] they like your singing
[Master] grins
[BiBo!!!] its a pet, but not trained for combat is what you are saying
[Master] right
[Master] it does do combat
[Master] on its own terms
[BiBo!!!] or anything useful
[Master] not cooridnated with you
[Guy] otters are very smart
[Master] and it can if you can communicate with it, but if not then not really
[Master] and yes they are and horrible horrible teasing beasts
[Guy] i havent read the rules yet regardinmg followers
[Guy] i like otters
[Master] thieves and scoundrels
[Master] and this is not a follower,
[Master] you woudl get that at a higher level
[Master] but it is right in line with the idea of a ranger
[Guy] lvl 10 for animal followers
[BiBo!!!] that high? really?
[Guy] yup
[BiBo!!!] by the time you are level 10, animal followers are useless lol
[BiBo!!!] look at my dog vs the dragon. go dog go!
[BiBo!!!] oh... its dead
[Master] I will set up an otter for you?
[Guy] try scouts and thief
[Guy] sure id like that
[Guy] have you never seen the beastmaster
[Guy] although i wouldnt be able to see through their eyes
[BiBo!!!] yeah, but those things are so much more useful at lower levels
[Guy] if you think that then you havent used them properly ;)
[Master] Otter #1 moved 16'03".
[Master] There you go
[Master] will fill in stats later
[Master] but you have an icon on teh map now you like that picture?
[Master] Otter moved 0'11".
[BiBo!!!] looks like an otter to me
[BiBo!!!] it looks just like it otter be
[Guy] sweet
[Master] we will leave the naming rights to Guy
[Master] it will be a two HD creature
[BiBo!!!] you are right, he otter be the one to name it
[Guy] marco wins
[Guy] you suck
[Master] (2d8) [2d8=2,2] 4
[Master] oh sad for HP
[BiBo!!!] isnt the first die max?
[Master] not for an otter
[BiBo!!!] ah. well he otter die pretty soon then.
[BiBo!!!] though I think that guy otter roll the hp
[Master] I will give him a +2 bonus for healthy eating with Koorin and Sarengar around
[Master] and a natural ac of 6
[Guy] i was trying to find the training page on the site
[BiBo!!!] I otter stop the otter puns, but it will be hard.
[Master] link on the News and Updates page
[Guy] found it and i do have a non-weapon prof slot open
[BiBo!!!] gonna get animal training for otters then?
[Master] so saves, hp thaco and ac are all done
[Guy] it has the same AC as i do
[BiBo!!!] really? you need some magical armor
[Guy] i only have leather armor
[Master] and his attacks are in now also
[Master] 1d2 for bite, 1d1 for claws
[BiBo!!!] why not studded?
[Guy] too much metal
[Master] any metal and you sink
[Master] bubbles come up and you stop breathing eventually
[BiBo!!!] :-P
[Master] and Guy look at the otter,
[Master] then I will add him to your inventory
[Master] so you can just drop him on the map when you want him
[Guy] i like
[Master] very well
[Master] you know how to do that?
[BiBo!!!] can he put it back in yet? or is that still a dm only thing?
[Guy] no clue
[Master] I think still only a DM thing
[BiBo!!!] thats silly
[Master] ok right click on sarengar and drop the item
[Master] try picking up someone Marco
[Guy] ok
[Master] see if it works
[BiBo!!!] I do it all the time at work
[BiBo!!!] kids love it
[Master] and presto
[Master] lol
[Master] see your otter there Guy
[Guy] Sarengar moved 1'06".
[Guy] yup
[Master] can you pick it up?
[BiBo!!!] no idea how to do it in klooge. never really dealt with items before
[Guy] Otter moved 3'05".
[Master] no
[Guy] Sarengar moved 2'03".
[Master] click on Sarengar and see if you have the Pick up Item option
[BiBo!!!] nope
[Master] years ago it was there, then it was a source of problems
[Guy] nope
[Master] so it was moved to DM only
[Master] to stop various players from trying to grab the same thing
[Master] I find it easiest to jsut drag them on the Campaign tree adn drop onto the icon I want to combine with
[Guy] oh and marco studded leathere weight 25 pounds
[Guy] leather is only 15
[BiBo!!!] are you so weak that that is an issue?
[Master] and Guy you have the one open slot right now to train in, you can do that during Burst of Building if you want animal training
[BiBo!!!] what are you? a wizard?
[Guy] not a strength issue but a floating issue
[Guy] thats what i figured to do
[BiBo!!!] burst of building?
[Guy] the next story arc
[Master] my guess is you are not going to be at 7th level by the end of all of this
[BiBo!!!] ah
[Master] it looks like Koorin and Llath will go up
[Master] Sarengar will be a high 6th
[Guy] well if you had given us the 25k xp we were supposed to get it wouldnt be a problem lol
[Master] chuckles
[Master] I am going to guess you did not do the Google Earth thing yet
[Guy] i did
[Master] so will just give you a link or two here to mark your travels
[Master] oh good! did you see Portown?
[BiBo!!!] koorin still has 3 proficiencies to train
[Guy] oh and i think you have 2 favors on llaths that might be brans
[Master] nope those are Llath
[BiBo!!!] lath has 2
[Master] Bran never trained yet
[BiBo!!!] hes saving those for 7th level
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BaikalRiver
[Guy] the net is being a royal pain around here so i hadnt really gotten a good look
[BiBo!!! (to GM only)] Character sheet for Koorin modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Master] that is the river you are taking
[Master] then down to the Queens Channel
[BiBo!!!] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.QueensChannel
[Guy] cool
[Guy] what are we going to do about the kobolds?
[Master] you are asking me?
[Master] or the charmer over there
[Guy] i just thought about that
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Portown
[Master] and my version of the GE maps now has the direct links,
[Master] grins, will update those for you guys at some future point
[Master] I will post a new version after Burst of Building
[Master] with the first story arc of the new era
[Guy] going to fun travelling since none of the characters here have ever been to jistelle estates lol
[Master] well I figure that we will move things along to there
[Guy] ok
[Master] and do some story telling there
[Master] to aquaint everyone with the place, etc
[Master] plus Sarengar will be travelign back and forth I am sure during the extended time
[Guy] hopefully sarengar wont be known there lol
[Guy] probablyh at least until the opera has finished
[Master] well I can picutre this story arc taking a year or two
[Master] clicking off time to get everyone trained, everythign built, etc
[Guy] well we wont have to do any favors for training this time
[Master] very true
[Guy] almost 1600 in platinum and 1400 in gold alone
[Master] chuckles
[Master] did you read the Burst of Building pages?
[Master] you are anticipating spending 36,000 on the building projects
[Master] you do have lots of cash, plus gems,
[Master] plus other objects,
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] tons of stuff
[BiBo!!!] what are we building now?
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BoB-OOC
[Master] the number one thing is the Church
[Master] that is the favor that started this all
[Guy] i didnt realize that we were having to spend our money
[Master] then building Branwyn her own wizard tower
[Guy] at least not on the church
[Master] laughs, the favor was to build a church for the Kayugan religion, you think they will give you the money for it also?
[Guy] then they can have the church on the skull
[Master] that is concecrated to a totally different religion
[Master] so that will not work
[Guy] cheaper to reconsecrate
[Master] no
[BiBo!!!] jeebus, what did we do to owe that favor?
[Master] much cheaper to build brand new
[Master] Branwyn being brought back to life
[Guy] 36k is not cheap
[Master] that includes wizard tower, library, church, etc
[Master] is one reason to have someone with appraising though
[Master] you can sell your gems, etc in Rivers Bend
[Master] if you want
[Master] but you have to pay the fee for apraisal
[Master] or you can just use them as part of the building fund
[Master] etc
[BiBo!!!] did they ressurect our entire party or what?
[Master] and remember that the 1400 PP you have equals 7000 GP
[Guy] dude thats cold you gives us a windfall and then take every bit of it away AND leave us owing more money
[Master] no you will not be owing any money at the end of this
[Master] but you will likely not have much left in savings,
[Master] yet another reason to go back out adventuring after staying at home for that ammount of time
[Master] grins
[BiBo!!!] we so po
[Master] I see roughly 12,000 in gems alone you have that you have not appraised or used yet
[BiBo!!!] why is it no one comes to owe US favors when we are high enough to cast these raise deads?
[Guy] we onky have 9220 from our treasure
[Master] not sure that is right Guy
[BiBo!!!] I swear we are the only source of income for the entire world
[Master] and I do know there is more you have not apraised, etc
[Master] and when you can do favors for people you will
[Guy] i just did the math
[Master] Oh did you add in the 1,000 GP for the payment for Six Griffons Lodge?
[Master] you did get that too
[Master] no one added that tot he party pack last week
[Guy] oooo 10k now
[Guy] 36k for the building then all the costs for training
[Master] and remember those numbers for building are base rough numbers, you have a lot of say in how that actually ends up
[Master] how motivated the work force is, how much you help out, etc
[Master] there is a lot to that
[BiBo!!!] llath knows how to motivate!
[BiBo!!!] :: charm charm charm :: you all like building! its fun!
[Master] but seriuosly you should add that 1,000 to the party pack Guy
[Master] before you forget
[Guy] was it apiece or total?
[Master] 1,000 total for the group
[Master] I am anticipating TMO to be here momentarily
[Master] and he will work on his character,
[Master] did you have any preferences for how you meet him? where or when?
[Master] I was thinking Rivers Bend is a good intersection point
[Master] depending on who he creates
[Guy] rivers bend would be good
[Master] the only thing I am delaying is finishing Flower Power tonight,
[Master] I figure that it make sense for Lisa to be here fro Branwyn to deliver the goods
[Master] as her and Indigo are the only two who know Ancien,
[Guy] i added the buried treasure to our totals as well except for the copper we left behind
[Master] ok
[Master] and it will not be to bad for training for everyone, as you can pay less to take longer
[Master] 700 gp for 7 weeks can drop to 100 gp for 13 weeks, etc
[Guy] we wont have much choice
[Master] this will be one of the few times that that timing will not matter
[BiBo!!!] was the church favor at least for ressurection and not raise dead?
[Master] no raise dead
[BiBo!!!] seriously? all they have to do is spend an hour meditating and they are done. doesnt cost them anything. at least with rez they get aged 3 years...
[Master] grins, you got her raised, and promised to build a church to their god later on
[Master] this is later on
[Master] rather than a big donation immediately up front
[BiBo!!!] I would have held out for a proper resurection for that price
[Master] LOL you were there
[Master] this happened on the time that Llath just joined the group
[BiBo!!!] was I? I dont remember
[Master] after Scarlet died
[BiBo!!!] oh... then it wasnt my business to say anything at the time
[BiBo!!!] and I was probably distracted with new character ideas
[Master] chuckles you brought in Koorin too
[Master] you had Scarlet and Koorin
[Master] then Scarlet died
[Master] then Branwyn died
[BiBo!!!] henchmen get a vote?
[Master] was when Mike stopped
[Master] after his brush with death
[Master] the plague on the river during Pirate Queens
[Master] and yes,
[Guy] i thought bran died before that
[BiBo!!!] I am thinking I was likely thumbing through books at that time
[Master] no
[Guy] bran was one of the first deaths i thought
[BiBo!!!] but whatever, whats done is done. we can burn the church later
[Master] close but there were several in close proximity
[Master] and that is why it is a stone building grins
[BiBo!!!] I say we rig the place with delayed death traps
[Master] remember this is the local church, you like the current guy
[Guy] kaz just said that it was kristelle not branwyn that had died
[BiBo!!!] all is honky dory for like a year, then the traps activate
[Master] no Kristelle died during Norjak
[Master] that was the Pirate Queens favor
[Master] he replaced the one who was killed by the ghouls
[Master] who replaced the one who was eaten by wolves
[Master] who replaced the one who was killed by lightning
[Guy] are you sure we want to help a church that cant keep their priests alive lol
[Master] grins
[BiBo!!!] the priests are probably getting killed for how much they charge for their services
[Master] you do live in a dangerous neigborhood
TMO has joined the game on Fri Feb 24 21:49:19 EST 2012
TMO is receiving the map Base Map...
[Master] remember Miranda had her religious experience there in the chapel
[Master] and welcome TMO
TMO has received the map Base Map.
[Master] and Guy you are ok with just being in Portown right?
TMO abases himself and humbly begs thy forgiveness.
[Master] nah
[Master] no worries
[Master] but did you read the site for how to do your character?
[TMO] had both kids and the nephew all by myself tonight, and totally forgot what night it was
[Master] that is a good thing too though
[Master] one day will have them all in here,
[Master] they can play the kobolds
[Master] which Marco you and Guy need to decide on them
[Master] and on the base map TMO is an icon for you
[Master] I filled in level and XP
[Master] you are going to start at 5th level
[Guy] and im fine with porttown
[BiBo!!!] decide on what now?
[Guy] what we are going to do about the kobolds
[BiBo!!!] do they want to stick around with us or move on?
[Master] are you keeping a kobold crew on the knarr while it is parked for an indeterminent length of time
[Master] you charmed them
[Master] they do not want to be with you
[Master] they are pirates
[Master] they were bugbear slaves
[BiBo!!!] can we pilot the ship without them?
[Guy] they are pirates without a ship
[Master] you need to hire a crew to help
[BiBo!!!] and are they willing to be hired?
[Master] but that might be cheaper than the trouble that kobodls in a town would be
[BiBo!!!] k, then let em go
[TMO] I read the rules a few weeks ago
[Master] oh they will take your money all right
[Master] and good for TMO
[TMO] (sorry, kids again)
[Master] no worries
[Guy] and then try to take the knarr
[Master] so this will go fairly straight forward
[Guy] for which i will have to kill them
[BiBo!!!] if they are just going to be trouble, we let em go and hire a new crew
[Master] very well
[Master] Kobolds are gone
[Master] mister Thief needs stats now
[Master] so TMO roll 4d6 and drop the lowest
[Master] do that 6 times
[Master] then you can arrange in the order you want
[Master] I have your sheet up to help fill in things as you go
[TMO] will me rolling interrupt your game?
[Master] and Guy forgot to say thank you for the kind words earlier this week
[Guy] nope
[Master] and not at all TMO
[Guy] which ones?
[Master] following up from John's comments on the site
[Master] I planned this time to work on characters TMO
[Master] next week is roleplaying wrap up of Flower Power, start of Burst of Building
[Guy] ahh ok
[Master] should be done in two weeks I hope with doing some of it on the site
[TMO] Roll: (4d3) [4d3=2,3,1,3] 9
[Master] um d6
[Master] not d3
[Master] would make a very challenging character I will say
[TMO] OH. It *looks* like a d6!
[TMO] :D I've played worse, I'm sure.
[TMO] Roll: (4d6) [4d6=5,2,5,1] 13
[TMO] Roll: (4d6) [4d6=3,4,4,3] 14
[Master] and do that 5 more times
[TMO] Roll: (4d6) [4d6=3,2,6,2] 13
[TMO] Roll: (4d6) [4d6=1,3,1,5] 10
[TMO] Roll: (4d6) [4d6=4,5,3,3] 15
[TMO] Roll: (4d6) [4d6=4,2,3,5] 14
[TMO] how.... consistent
[Master] ok, so a 12, 11, 11, 9, 12, 12
[BiBo!!!] wow... vanilla
[Master] now you can roll a d4
[BiBo!!!] that is your character's name
[BiBo!!!] vanilla
[Master] that will be subtracted from one and added to another
[TMO] Roll: (1d4) [1d4=3] 3
[Master] not bad
[TMO] take an 12 down to a 9, and another 12 up to a 15
[Master] yeap
[Master] so I would guess the 15 in dex
[Master] after you get the six in
[Master] then you can do the splits on them
[TMO] do you do stat increases in your game?
[Master] no
[Master] except magic
[TMO] didn't recall seeing any mention of it
[TMO] but if you did, better to station the 12 on a good stat for the breakpoint
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.CharacterCreation
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Abilities
[Master] and you are right for that
[Master] because the split can work right for you
[Master] for example if you have the 9 in intelligence
[Guy] oh i have a +1 cutlass you can have if you dont get any magic weapons
[Master] bump knowledge up to 11 and reason down to 7
[Master] hmm, checked and need to get Knowledge to 13 to gain the extra proficiency
[Master] 12
[BiBo!!!] dont htink thieves can take cutlass as a prof
[Master] sure,
[Master] but not likely to want to
[BiBo!!!] need ot pay 2 slots or something for it?
[Master] and TMO when you hit commit I cna check the sheet for you
[TMO] got the base stats placed, I think. Need to check to make sure I'm not penalizing something I want
[Guy] it also depends on where he makes his home
[Master] and kits, etc
[Master] and all the stat info is on the site there under those links
[TMO] well, if we go with the one I mentioned a couple weeks ago, it was a Finn (or whatever the local version of them is called, I forget) thief/scout, using the bandit kit
[Master] nods, that works
[Master] hit committ so I can check the sheet

[TMO] don't have the splits all done yet
[TMO] just str/dex
[Master] ok
[Master] was just goign to say you shorted yoru self in Con
[Master] go on and edit away
[Master] I just was checking
[Guy] nice somebody who uses a bludgeoning weapon
[Master] and I have your Proficiency numbers for you, you start off with 2 weapon slots, and add 1 becaue of level, you have 3 Non weapon slots and add 1 for level and it looks like 3 slots for knowledge
[Master] so up to 3 weapon slots, and 7 non weapon slots
[Master] you can use weapon slots to take non weapon proficiencies
[Master] plus you have 5,000 XP you have earned so far, and I allow people to purchase extra non-weapon slots for your class and level it would cost 2,500 per slot

[TMO] splits done
[Guy] he also gets 1 more weapon slot from the kit and survival (your choice of terrain) for a nonweapon prof bonus
[Master] Int is wrong
[Master] you took one side down from 11 and did not add the otehr side
[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for For TMO modified: Ability Scores - Knowledge: (KN) : CHANGED: 12 (11).
[Master] there you go
[Master] looks good
[TMO] it's called a 'handicap'. :D Was just trying to be fair to the rest of the players
[Master] chuckles
[Guy] lol
[TMO] brb
[Master] Guy Marco, what do you think about the idea of TMO using the XP to get the extra Prof slots?
[Guy] 4 weapon slots and 2 are filled before he chooses lol
[Master] what are the two ?
[TMO] back
[Guy] knife and a choice of flail,mace,morning star or warhammer
[BiBo!!!] um... sure why not
[TMO] are the savings throws in there accurate, or do I need to look those up?
[BiBo!!!] how much xp?
[Master] need to change them, they are for a base zero level character
[Master] and it will cost him 2,500 per extra slot
[Master] he has 5,000 to spend if he wants
[Master] and TMO choice of Flail, Mace, Morning Star or Warhammer?
[BiBo!!!] sure, why not. extra profs wont unbalance your char much
[BiBo!!!] especially not 2 of them
[Master] I added in the Knife proficiency for you TMO
[Master] now you can edit things again
[BiBo!!!] can we buy extra profs in game?
[BiBo!!!] or just at chargen?
[Master] and TMo did you get what we are talking about with the proficiencies?
[Master] that has always been available but you need to be creating the character from existing XP
[Master] and at high level it is not worth it
[Master] it is based on teh XP for the next levels
[TMO] anything that lists the dmg of the weapons
[Master] when you go to Equipment
[Master] and edit the page
[Master] there will be a drop down list
[Master] add from data
[Master] each weapon is listed there
[Master] damage, descriptions for some etc
[Master] and marco the costs are listed on the Proficiency page
[TMO] the only mace listed is Mace, Giant
[Master] Footmans Mace
[Master] or Horsemans Mace
[BiBo!!!] well, I am only curious if we can buy them with an existing character as opposed to a new one
[Master] oh no
[Master] only at creation
[Master] otherwise need magic
[Master] like kristelle did to get her bard abilitys
[TMO] which flail? chain, footmans or horsemans?
[Master] I would guess you would want the footman's version of either the mace or the flail
[Master] I like the flail myself
[Master] higher average damage
[Guy] warhammers good too
[TMO] morning star isn't shabby either
[BiBo!!!] I have always kinda wanted to try making a character with a crapload of proficiency slots in the martial art, jumping profiency. each slot lets you jump 10 feet. so throw a whole bunch in there and you can jump really really far
[TMO] 2d4 vs sm/med
[Master] nods
[Master] and you look like a priest wielding it not a thief
[Master] put a collar on and a cross and no one would know
[TMO] do I remember correctly that undead are a problem in that area?
[Master] yes they are
[Master] Vampires are the top of the food chain there,
[TMO] anybody know if one of the weapons tends to be better vs the undead?
[TMO] yes, I want to disguise myself as the vampire's number one target...
[Master] any blugeoning weapon is god
[Master] grins
[BiBo!!!] well, for vampires wooden stakes
[BiBo!!!] but no, there is no specific weapon associated with undead slaying
[BiBo!!!] at least none that would have a specific effect on all undead
[BiBo!!!] or vampires for that matter
[Master] you lost your mace of undead slaying you had
[Guy] well bludgeoning is better against skeletons
[TMO] is knockback anything worth worrying about at this stage?
[Master] Time of Day: 08:02 AM. Day 23 Be ___ se, Ze {Mid Summer} 23rd, 339 SKR.
[Master] it can help
[Master] the bigger the die for knockdown the more likely you are to knock domeone down
[Master] and that is the correct date now for arriving in Portown
[BiBo!!!] the bigger the weapon, the easier it is to knockdown
[TMO] ah, footmans flail is 2-handed
[Master] Guy should we just BLIP all teh way to Jistille now, and roleplay out the arrival next week? You will have the arrangement for the knarr done, put in "storage" at the Riverside Inn
[Guy] yeah that way lisa wont miss much
[Master] ok
[BiBo!!!] I am gonna head out
[Master] so that is another 7 days of traveling
[Master] have a great day Marco
[Guy] horsemans flail is 1 handed
[BiBo!!!] laters
[Guy] cya marco
BiBo!!! has left the game on Fri Feb 24 22:36:40 EST 2012
[Master] Time of Day: 04:00 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 3rd, 339 SKR.
[TMO] and you said I get knife proficiency?
[Master] yes
[Master] added that already for you
[TMO] I don't see it under wpn profs
[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for For TMO modified: Weapon Proficiencies - ADDED: Flail, Footman's, 1.
[Master] I put both Knife and Knife Hurled there

[Master] when you pick them off the weapon list the data auto fills in for you
[Master] you have three entries now
[Master] knife,
[Master] knife hurled
[Master] footman's flail
[Guy] hmmm what would be a good terrain for him to be abel to survive in?
[Master] swamps

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for For TMO modified: Weapon Proficiencies - ADDED: 2. ADDED: 1. ADDED: Non-Weapon Proficiencies - ADDED: 4.
[Guy] its nice getting free proficincies isnt it
[Master] he gets 1 NWP and 2 WP?
[TMO] do I have the proficiency slot counts right?
[Guy] yeah he gets those for his kit
[Master] you have the weapon slots right TMO
[Master] you have your NWP right
[Master] you need to add the 3 from Knowledge to that NWP
[Master] plus you have 2 more Weapon slots you can add to either side
[Master] Plus that choice of spending the XP you already earned to get 1 or 2 more NWP
[Master] so lots of potential
[TMO] I lost the kit page
[Master] as far as the proficiences you have it right
[Master] Guy has been following along
[Guy (to GM only)] Character sheet for Sarengar modified:
[Master] I do not think the full Kit is on the site actually
[TMO] are flail, knife, and knife hurled his 3 wp?
[TMO] or do I still have some to spend?
[Master] no Flail and Knife are the two slots
[TMO] so, 1 left
[Master] have more you can spend
[Master] or you can spend them on Non weapon sltuff
[Master] Sarengar's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 33 (2) - Unharmed
[TMO] the thief abilities mention character points. Do you use those to purchase them?
[Master] no
[Guy] you have 2 weapon slots left
[Master] you get specific number of points to assign each level
[TMO] ok
[Master] character points are a hold over from previous mishmashes
[Master] are you looking at learning more than the two weapons you have now (knife and flail)
