Phyrric Legacy - Shackled City OOC Thread

[Malvoisin]

Guys, I've been thinking more on the subject of experience points, and I think I've settled on how I want to handle things. Basically, we'll still go by the book, except that I am going to assign xp a little more subjectively than to simply use the CR system. If a battle is really easy, you're going to get fewer xp, and if very difficult, you'll get more xp. Also, I may adjust up or down based on creative tactics, good combat description and role-playing, etc.

Basically, try to make me happy, because you are the mercy of my whims....

Having said that, everybody earns 50 xp for the initial alleyway confrontation with the street thugs.

'And there was much rejoicing...'

Well, things are going well at the orphanage. Lots of good role-playing here gentlemen. (Flannad beginning to emerge from his shell, Arak walking a fine line between noble hero and pompous bastard, Remen showing a surprising softer side in speaking with the children...) Great job!

Take as long as you need for this scene, just let me know when you think you're ready to move on, and where you want to go next.

And, hey, Jdnv1, how are things? Life back to normal yet after the big weekend?

At this point, it feels like I'm giving a bunch of excuses, but...

My parents left town today, they'll be gone for ten days. Monday and Tuesday they were going over everything they do so that I can run their business and keep their house tidy while they're gone. Today I had to drop them off at the airport and then run a bunch of their errands.

But now that they're out of town, I'll have more time to catch up on my games. So, I'll hopefully be caught up by tomorrow or day after. (What a crazy month for me, though!) Sorry for not keeping you guys informed, at least.

Lol i feel so useless there, as frontline fighter.

You wait. This is a Paizo adventure, so we'll be pushing up daisies soon enough.

Mmmmm, and here I was optimising Flannad as a sneak and trap rogue, rather than a combat rogue.... oh well

Not to worry, I was just wondering what was up. It's no problem.

Yeah, this adventure path is a kind of a mix between dungeon exploration and combat, etc., and also investigation and conversing with NPCs. As it turns out, there's a lot of talk at the begining of Life's Bazaar, but the action will heat up before too long.

Flannad's skills in those areas will be needed as well. With Arak, Remen, and Liracor, there is already enough melee ability in this group. The traps will be coming soon enough...

It seems as though the scene at the orphanage is losing steam fast, so let's go ahead and try to bring it to a close.

Please try to wrap up any loose ends (Foremost, what are you saying/doing with Patch?), and move to a conclusion.

Where will you be going next?

 

[stonegod]

Jon is done at the orphanarium (any one eyed aliens?).

He's thinking we need to talk at the lock smith. I think Remen is thinking of talking to the mayor's party (so he should bring one of the talker's along w/ that as well).
