Zilean's Revenge - OOC

Make a streetwise for getting dem' rumors, Jeraylia.
Also, what's Horizon's reaction?

So, are we waiting on Bronymous or Azarune for something? To be honest, once I hear what the muscle-guy has to say, I'm ready to move on to the debriefing.

I generally wait till everyone posts after me, but I can speed it up if people want. I'll continue to mayor soon so get in while you can.

I think I'm kinda just waiting for now. Horizon's committed his faux pas of the day, not much else going on for him to respond to.

I can't recall if I actually said Bob was a Dwarf when I introduced him.

Part 4, page 59 wrote:Rolf's query gets him directed towards 'Bob', a particularly enthusiastic young (as evidenced by his unimpressive goatee) dwarf of the clergy, who volunteers to provide Rolf with an 'experimental' enchantment he has been, in his words, 'working on with mixed success'.

Speaking of names, I'm pretty sure the Mayor's wife was Damiana. Don't know where Broken got "Destiana" from.

edit: Huh. Zarhon, I think you swapped names on us.

Page 24 wrote: Soon enough, breakfast is over, and the party heads over to Damiana's office, passing by a few exhausted-looking officers and Mayor, who barely acknowledge them as they contemplate a map.
(one massive recap later)
Destiana listens intently for the whole duration of Rolf's summary, her face not revealing much in the world of surprise, so much as deep thought.

Edited the names.

This is why I always just use pronouns when I'm talking about NPCs. Bonus, it adds a bit of puzzle solving for the players when there's multiple npc's on screen- they get to figure out who's talking.

Dabble Porst: I'm sure there was a reason for the situation with the item vault thing and Horizon not getting stuff, but I forget what it is.

It's basically a 'mini-punishment' for unintentionally (in and/or out of character) breaking a Starsworn Oath (telling the lunchlady what you did for a petty reason, when you were supposed to keep it secret). So basically you get to wait for new-level moolah/combat toys until you earn them another way, or unless you can convince your party members to share/pool for you.

On a different note, I've decided you've actually all gone up to level 6 - both to speed things up a bit, and because you sort of did beat a BBEG.

By the way, please post here what changes you're all making with the new levels. You can RP the new equipment in IC, of course.

Woah :O two levels. I'll get onto that. Although... I'm already level 4? Did I take a level when I wasn't supposed to?
Also, I should have remembered her name anyway :\. Soz.

No, my character sheet says level 4 as well. Picked out the destiny and everything. I think it was when we took a rest at the temple before the abomination/Zilean boss fight.

Part 4, page 51 wrote: Unless Jeraylia is continuing with stuff, extended rest will happen. Also, consider yourselves LEVEL FOUR!

That's +500 worth of combat gold, and a destiny feature. You can justify new combat items / swaps with the stuff you got from the cart.

I think I'm referring to a wrong sheet then - I wasn't sure what level you were, so I checked the sheets on the first page/post of this OOC thread. In it, Rolf was lvl3, which seemed too low for where you are/stuff you achieved, so I bumped you to level 5 with an 'extra' level.

Jerry's sheet shows lvl4, Zthulan's shows lvl3, and Horizon's doesn't state level at all.

So, uh, I guess you're level 6 then? Feels a bit too quick at this point but eh. Anyone actually object to an extra level?

Who-ever is updating their sheets, post the links + summarize changes you've made so I can properly keep track of stuff.

Gave myself the Rapid Recovery Trait and haven't added any abilities yet. For the level six combat trait I chose duel-wield.

For items I got myself hierophant armor and a spellbook. More items pending, though if Horizon needs anything I'd be willing to lend some of the excess I have.

Rolf's Character Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JlkWJ5WJDTYFghuFRDtsCRDwVBUENskqAFx6zSKs66o/edit#

Swapped Talisman of Weapons for Rabbit-Filled Hat.
Combat Traits: Special Summon and Rapid Recovery

No Utility Talents chosen yet. (Did we say that the Boon upgrades would be swapped for 3 ability points)?

Sorry, I've been busy with Halloween type stuff for the past few days, haven't even looked at my level ups yet. I'll get around to it, hopefully today. Maybe.

Jer's Character Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ucED5GQCQ6JljqDfC3pfDzb-_K9eThaDeuT1AhGWhzE

Combat Traits: Inspiring Presence(Rejuvenating Presence) and Persistent Hex. +Our saves, -Their saves (vs me)
Items: Swapped Ring of Resilience for Greater Reloader

Will also wait to know about the Boon thing. I don't remember allocating 3 ability points when we got to lvl 3 boon, tho :\?

If one of you wishes to continue, just exit the office and meet up with the officers/mayor/etc.

Still need Horizon to update his level stuff and link it.

Yeah I know. I'm trying to work on getting around to starting to try to think about it.

So from what I gather, we get a combat trait and either a boon or three ability points? I'll relink my sheet when that's answered, but so far I've taken Sense Weakness for my trait.

Apply 3 ability points.

I feel like Horizon/Bronymous is intentionally taking the piss with his latest post... Do you WANT to trigger a Starsworn Oath?

A, you already punished me for that.

B, its called misdirection- he's trying to play it off that its ridiculous and in no way true. Kind of like reverse psychology.

Bronymous, I'm pretty sure that the only one actually spreading the "killing Zilean" rumor is you. And that sentence sounds more like a Suspiciously Specific Denial than anything else.

Well its been a while since I've been on TVTropes, but that's probably exactly what that is. The point is, he's denying those rumors right now, regardless of who (him) happened to start them (accidentally).

This seemed like the most appropriate place to share this.
