Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Reminder! The brief mini-session of Selos and the Oracle is tonight! In just a few hours, in fact. (9pm CST) Also reminder! The Blood Marsh goes tomorrow at 5pm CST as well! Originally Posted By: Tabazinth, necromancer "Adventuring? Bah, I know how that story ends.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 The Selos party has spoken with the Oracle, and the log is right here. Also, I got word recently that Zkaashj will not be joining the Selos party in future sessions, which drops that party's size to 4. If anyone would like to join the Selos party, now's a pretty good time to speak up. Originally Posted By: Khashen, the Oracle of Selos "You have your answers. I hope they satisfy your curiosity.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Aside from the fact that 17 + 5 = 22, those changes are noted and have been made on the roster page. Also, for those who are interested, check out my map of the swamp! The party's path is marked in red. Also, the log for session #4 of the Blood Marsh is available right here! A riveting read, full of character conflict, epic smiting, and more than a few total and utter failures. Now, for the fun part... everyone in the Blood Marsh party levels up again! Click to reveal.. (I fumbled my quotes) Sawbones: "Don't worry, I'll kill him later. It won't be pleasant." Alexander: "I look forward to when you are reanimated and I kill you again as a zombie." Kurex: "Which would you rather have? Free slaves, or phat lewt?" Amadan: "Liea, I know I've already called on your assistance once today, but I think I'm going to need your help again..." Esstra: "Well, thank Liea. And the fact that our enemies like to commit suicide." So there's that. Gimme a day or two and I'll think about what to do next for scheduling. Also, since after tonight Sss-Tkss will no longer be with the Blood Marsh party, we're down another player. To that end, if anyone wants to join in on either campaign, PM me please. At the moment, we have 2 spots open in Selos and 1 in Blood Marsh. Now if you will excuse me, it is late, I am tired, and my brain is ready to explode.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Kurex's change has been noted. And with regard to spells, I'm listing them all for completeness.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Ah. Sad.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 ...okay. Sorry folks, but I think we might have to skip this week. It's pretty clear that Friday won't work, I have plans for Saturday, and starting on Sunday I'm house-sitting/kid-sitting for someone and internet access will be spotty. Odds are that I will be good to go by next Friday or Saturday (19th or 20th), but no guarantees right now. Also, I have pretty much nothing prepared at the moment. I might be slightly burned out, but a week off will let me recover. In that time, I promise two things: 1. Finally start dishing out perks. 2. Patch together a short story or something to make up for not having a session. In short, sorry for the fail. Hopefully, this little preview of the story to come will help me atone.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Alright everyone, as I continue to prepare for upcoming sessions (expect a calendar very very soon), I've been poring over everyone's characters. It is certainly time for the first perks to be dished out, so here we go. If you didn't get one, don't worry, it'll come eventually. First, Amadan, who has somewhat inadvertently forged a deeper connection with Liea, receives Liea's Blessing, giving him a +1 bonus to all attack rolls involving fire, as well as a small damage bonus for the same. Next, Kundak, whose boundless curiosity for the world around him was apparent at the Oracle, receives Dig Deeper. Once per in-game day, he can roll twice when casting a Divination spell and use either result. Using the gyroscope in the ritual is optional. Boregloaf, who has enthusiastically rushed into combat at every opportunity, receives Zealous. Once per in-game day, she can get a +5 bonus to any one roll BY YELLING REALLY LOUD. Kurex, who can't seem to stop taunting his enemies (or heckling me, for that matter), receives Smug. Any time he hits an enemy in combat, he gets a +1 to Intimidate checks against that enemy until the end of his next turn. Like all intimidation, however, it runs the risk of simply enraging the enemy. Last, Esstra, who has been doing a lot of face-smashing lately, receives Healing Fist. Any time she scores a critical hit, one ally of her choice regains hit points equal to 5 + Esstra's level. The ally must be within sight. And once more, if you did not receive a perk, don't worry. It will happen eventually, as long as everyone continues doing awesome things. (that story I promised is coming along as well) Originally Posted By: Vothella, lacewing dreamthief "It is surprisingly easy to steal someone's dream and then sell it right back to them."

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Well deserved for Amadan. Those two natural 20s after invoking Liea rocked. Oh, I was hoping Esstra would get honored for dropping the giant nest on the dire eagle. That was the second coolest thing to happen in Blood Marsh (after Amadan's divine intervention). The perks for Kundak, Boregloaf, and Kurex amuse me. All three are clever and appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 First off, yay, perks! Second off, yay, divine fire blessing!

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Alright... so at the moment, it looks like this Saturday, February 20th is the earliest I can do another session. If that works for the Selos party, that would be excellent. Also, in other news, remember that story I promised?

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 That'll probably be fine with me. Is there any chance we could start a little earlier than usual (say 4 pm central time), since we're doing it on Saturday? Sessions usually start around six eastern time (where I live) and end at or after midnight eastern time...I have church Sunday morning and would prefer to get to bed a little sooner than that Saturday night.
