I'm going to answer work emails for one hour then I will continue posting.

I'm building Khara to be an evil mastermind- social skills, lots of knowledge, some magic, but mostly suited to manipulate other people to do the work.

I don't see how the fact that Khara will be strong on the social side make you choose to be less so. From what I see almost all of us have high charisma, fitting for future arch villains that still need to recruit their minion horde..

She has disable device/also for magical traps. +8 UMD.

As for healing: I think the spells I got will be more useful than healing. But you're right, the oracle does get an extra healing/inflict spell. The problem with infernal healing is that it requires components (devil blood/unholy water). Would it make sense to take it?

Well two social skill set characters won't be a bad thing, especially if we can work past our differences, I'm sure if we work a room together they won't know what hit them. As for the magical traps, my archetype doesn't have trapfinding so that'll be a job I'll pass on to you.

There are a lot of late night owls.

Sweet. Even less sleep for me.

Well since my job is to basically sit in front of a computer from midnight to 8 am this is around the time you'll most likely see me posting.

Very very wise.

Please finish up your PC character pages if you have not.

Please make sure to add some back story and be sure you list your Crime Traits.

Feel free to change your starting Languages if you can provide a reason why you speak that language.

DM has to sleep for at least two hours. Entertain yourselves.

Which none of you have currently.

If you guys have two minutes you should read Enosh's back story.

You may not want to go into negative hit points with him around as your 'healer'.

:)


I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

Feel free to continue describing yourselves, role playing and discussing options.

I will try to post in two hours between work and ... more work.

FML

Otherwise more posts at the magical hour of 2 AM.

I like casting actors for my NPCs, it helps with the image.

While there is an image of Watch Sergeant Tomas Blackerly

I picture him along the lines of putting the worse bits of Bob Hoskins (click) added to the worse parts of James Gandolfini (click) and then left alone with no one to love.


What is this, I don't even...

Hey I always cast actors for my npcs and my pcs, mostly cause im horrible with descriptions


I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

Can those who have not put their crimes on their sheet please do so.

Or if one of the players could go through the sheets and list them here that would be great, I am missing some of them.


What is this, I don't even...

Anastasia - Malicious Slander
Cudjet - No idea it isn't on his sheet
Enosh - Necromancy
Greyfield - Kidnapping
Khara - Piracy
Smoak - Slave-trading


I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

Thank you Snark, wow I actually had them right from memory but I was not sure.

In three days hence, when the Confessor of Mitra accompanies the King's Executioner, Justice will then be served

Anastasia - Transfer for a (brief) Life at hard Toil and Labor in the salt mines

Cudjet - Dueling to the Death, Punishment Death by Beheading

Enosh - Death by Slow (wet not dry wood) Burning

Greyfield - Death by Beheading

Khara - Death by Hanging

Smoak - Left to Hang on a noose but taken down before Death then Beheaded

I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

I am liking the PCs. All of them have potential for fun.

In my minds eye for some reason I can already see Greyfield quite clearly.

What I like about him is not readily obvious, not even for me, then I realized that he has nicknamed most of you.

He is Categorizing you, but not Personalizing you. You are an Asset or liability.

Other PCs starting to form as well, nice.

Snark thanks for the help regarding healing. I always forget its a function of Level and not Constitution.

I need to wait for Rene for one scene.

No comment as DM, as a reader, I like Greyfield.

Roleplaying a scene with Rene on the phone because he is at work (isn't technology grand?), I will post in an hour about the results.

Blackerly and Anastasia.

It's like Romeo and Juliet.

If Romeo and Juliet was written by an SS Nazi playwright.

I can only imagine Brody's face when he reads the end of this thread so far.

As a reader, you guys may want to use the discussion thread a little bit as players would discuss at a gaming table.

If that goes anything like what happens when you and I are at the same table we discuss anything but the game.

This being my first PbP campaign, I'm still getting adjusted to the style. I like it greatly so far. Narrative is a good thing.

The whole playing evil aspect is quite interesting as well; we are all bold characters but in a pretty tight spot. Not gonna lie, I was sweating that stealth roll.

Also, everybody's characters are quite original, which is super dope. You know that episode of the Simpsons when the Asian mob has a huge fight in their front yard? And Marge drags Homer inside and he says "ahhhh, but that guy in the white suit was just standing there! He was about to do something really cool!"...that's EXACTLY how I see Rene's character, haha


I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

Thanks!

I appreciate that. And we are all here to have some fun, so that above sentiment is a good thing.

As a DM I am trying to be impartial, as a reader i really wanted you to make your Stealth roll.

I love that scene from the Simpsons, and Rene is a good man, he is just busy.

I will let some of the other players catch up a little bit in gameplay.


What is this, I don't even...

I am enjoying my first play-by-post as well, im also enjoying the chance to practice my accents haha.


What is this, I don't even...

Just a question aimed at Khara, are you making up the infernal or do you use some crazy website for it.

I snuck out of work which ends a 4 AM to come check the thread.

So time for some out of game discussion, Noel you ready for our big throwdown with Xin later today? Just wait till you see how much damage I'm gonna be pumping out

Snark

Spoiler:
I emailed Tim and Dave about spell lists. Even our Cleric, who has the LEAST optimized list I have ever seen on a high level Cleric.

I am a little worried to tell you the truth. We could get reamed. Our only saving grace is Ed is not a killer DM.

I gave Khara a chance to retract her statement about using Infernal.

But she ain't no pussy.


What is this, I don't even...

Spoiler:
If our cleric can keep me and Dave up I'm sure we'll be able to do enough damage to drop him... I hope

If I can get all of just my buffs up and running lets see how much damage I can do in one attack.

Grigori's damage on an attack: 2d6 + 41 + 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 41 + (6, 6, 5, 3) = 68

and that's on a single attack and I'll have 4 attacks a round if I full attack and that damage isn't counting sneak attack if I flank


What is this, I don't even...

A bit more shadow boxing in preparation...

Spoiler:
Damage if I'm flanking: 2d6 + 42 + 4d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 42 + (5, 2, 3, 1) + (2, 1, 5) = 70

Edit: Wow those were low ass rolls

Damage Vital Strike and flanking: 4d6 + 42 + 4d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 5) + 42 + (5, 6, 1, 2) + (3, 2, 3) = 87

Spoiler:
Can you kindly put those under spoilers so we don't throw off the others.

You are assuming we get a chance to even attack this thing. I bet its AC 43 and damage reduction 20.

One question about the gaurd beatdown, you rolled damage but never rolled to hit. Can the gaurds auto hit us because we are chained?

LOL It’s actually an awfully spelled Hebrew. Figured as a biblical language it should fit hell, and since I don’t speak Aramaic or something like that, it’d do... :-D I actually had an Israeli friend who came to visit last night as I was typing that post, she looked at the screen and told my husband “Gosh, how can you stand this geek? Is this Klingon or something?”. I told them to try and read it out, and after struggling with the (exaggeratedly awful phonetic) spelling, they were both rolling on the floor laughing… :-D

And Khara might not be very wise, she is intelligent. She intentionally used Infernal for 3 reasons:
1. To get the guards used to hear her speak Infernal
2. To hopefully mask her spellcasting (this time and the next times, see 1)
3. Get the attention of some of them and eventually get them close enough to pick pocket.
So, intelligence-wise, she was quite spot-on on #3. She’d have preferred a few more rounds of perception rolls and detect magic Identification, but having two guys beat her down is about as good a distraction as a pickpocket can hope for… (aside from the falling unconscious an within an inch of her life bit)

Hey guys, I apologize for lagging behind with Enosh's posts. I'm but a mere week away from my diploma and the assignments are plenty.

I'll make up for it as soon as this IRL ordeal is behind me.

Hi guys, at work right now and hectic.

Then in an hour I leave to meet Snark for the end of a year long campaign, Ed is DMing, I think we are TPK dead.

I'll be back with my DM hat around 4 AM EST.

Fell free to keep posting I am a few posts behind in my reading.


What is this, I don't even...

Dude we got this.


I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

I emailed answers to Smoak and Khara regarding a question.
