The Romance of the River Kingdoms

[Dr Simon]

From your responses suggested course of action is pretty much as the Vashti says in the IC post:

Rest overnight.
Next day: Investigate Paper Lantern Gang
2-3 days time (probably): Dinner with Magister
Afterwards: Tigerskin Mines

This assumes nothing else crops up in between....

Neurotic wants to hunt the spider shaman, which could be started at first light and, depending on what happens, return to check out the Paper Lantern Gang. Mystal lacks the Track feat and so would not be very successful by himself, but I'm happy to run with it, even run a mini solo for Neurotic if others want to follow other leads.

 

[Neurotic]

He doesn't need Track feet. All he has to do is wait overnight hidden. The thing will come back eventualy (I hope). But he lacks power to bring down the caster with stoneskin. Assuming it can recast it of course.

If others don't want to bother he goes with them. But will remember it and if the things comes after them later he will (un)characteristicaly for his race, enjoy telling them "I told you so"

 

[Dr Simon]

If you want Mystal to return overnight and wait, I can work with that. Let me know what you decide.

 

[Neurotic]

NAh, I'd just loose good night sleep. Unless others join too. It would be cool and in character, but I (the player) dislike the possibility of becoming hunted by a spider three times my size in the night.

Of course there is always shadow jaunt and other maneuvers ... hmm... I'll talk myself into it For now, let say Mystal appears to leave with others (he actualy turns invisible, shadow jaunts somewhere hidden and recovers those maneuvers...

 

[Walking Dad]

Uhm, Ape has the track feat, if you ask him ... later.

 

[Dr Simon]

Unless anyone has any other input I'll put up a post after the weekend on the assumption that:

Mystal returns to the spider valley and waits for the spider shaman to return.

Everyone else (plus Mystal, depending on outcome of above) sets off the next morning to investigate the Court of the Shading Willow.

 

[Neurotic]

Well, if you think it'll be over without wasting anyone's time IC or OOC, I don't mind. Otherwise, assume Mystal followed others so everyone's ready and well rested in the morning.

We can always return (and we probably will because of the door) so it's not that important.

 

[Shayuri]

I wuz gonna say...we won't be leaving that mystery alone for long. There's just more pressing things to see to in the immediate future.

Heck, that door might be a lead to the Elixir. After all, it's clearly not been used in ages, and the Elixir is clearly similarly hard to find.

*shrug*

 

[Neurotic]

Very well. Mystal goes with the group. Let's burn this paper gang !

Updated loot in the first post of this thread, for the items that you picked up from the spiders.

Also, of interest to Blackrat primarily, but also to other who may want to try bloodline levels, I've added some Bloodline Feats to the feats section in Post 1. It might be a while before you'd get to use them, though

Blackrat: I've been working on Bloodline levels and I've added a new option - if you have at least one level of a spirit bloodline you can choose to add a permanent one-time +2 bonus to one ability score of your choice. If you do so, you gain the (Spirit) subtype, rendering you vulnerable to any spells/effects that affect Spirits. It represents a stronger connection to the spirit world than simply taking the bloodline levels, but it's entirely optional. I'm happy to retro-fit it if you like.
