(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

I always find the image, right after the concept. Only then is there a backstory and the mechanic to back the story up

 

[Prickly Pear]

We started at level 1 in late August of 2017 (!) Hit level 2 in November 2017. Level 3 in April 2018. Level 4 in December 2018 and finally level 5 in March 2020 (when you arrived in Omu).

Oh, I have been playing Chrysagon at level 4. You won't mind if I change now?
Level 5 will give him an extra attack and level 2 spells. Sweet!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Sounds about right. Also, I would like to point out that in Scourge, we started before this and are still only about to hit level 5.

But still, don't get me started on icons. I've been playing Pathfinder Society lately and have started creating my own custom icons for my characters using frames from League of Legends and random images from the interwebs.

I'm a notorious google art-thief, really. I like making maps, and I do a lot of work on them, but I steal as much as I can. (I have bought maps directly off of Mike Schley a few times, so I don always steal.) I figure if it's on Google, it's fair use. It's not like I'm selling any of it, and I certainly don't intend to be taking any credit for anything, other than the nice job I do making maps for our games!

As far as Scourge goes, I've been doing "Milestone" or more like "Story" XP. I mean to level you up whenever you finish a "Chapter". (Floshin Estate is a "Chapter"). Otherwise you'll get too high level for the end. Of course, we might never reach the end, but who knows? Same for this game. I'll keep running them as long as you keep playing!

Oh, I have been playing Chrysagon at level 4. You won't mind if I change now?
Level 5 will give him an extra attack and level 2 spells. Sweet!

What? Have you? I think he's levelled up in my round-roller. At least I have 5 Hit Dice listed and Lay-on-Hands at 25! Yes, yes you should play him at level 5. Oops!

Edit to add, my notes say he's used 1 hit die and has 17/25 lay-on-hands points left. I dunno if that's right. Level him up ASAP!

 

[Prickly Pear]

Will do and have done!

Chrysagon AC18* HP 44/44 (Res Nec&Rad) HD 4/5 PP10* SS 3/4,2/2 CD 1/1 LoH 22/25
2 attacks!

I didn't notice that you had the HD and LoH wrong. The above stats should be correct. Chrysagon used 3 pt of LoH and 1 spell slot for smiting.

I like making maps too. I use Arkenforge, which is great for map making. Supports animated maps for VTT and has a great sound system for ambience and sound effects. Great immersion.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

You probably told me that you had 17 points left of LoH, and I didn't know that you were counting from 20! I'll update my notes.

I'm probably strange in that I use the worst tools, but I think I make pretty good maps with it. The only art program I use is MS Paint, which sucks of course, and then I drop stuff into Excel. I should probably learn how to use something better, but I've used Excel for tons of stuff for 30 years, and I'm familiar with it, and MS Paint might suck as far as what it can do, but it's easy to use.

 

[Neurotic]

Consider paint.net as the program to use. It is no photoshop, but it is free, small and with good community for mods if you need something not supported by default. It is much more powerful than plain paint.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

You came up one-point short of the dc I was thinking of for the challenge, (I look at the median roll, while allowing the best-and-worst rolls to mean something and building the story around all the other rolls, if that makes any sense to you)but I figured that it's always better in D&D to have "failure" (especially really-close-failure) translate to "success but with drawbacks":

You got the Gargoyle. (Success!)
Ukee is safely unconscious (and netted) on the other road (Success...)
Getting to her might be a little bit trouble. (Drawback!)

 

[Neurotic]

@FitzTheRuke maybe you could roll saves for the orcs so we know if any fall
