Houserules: The Attack action is always a standard action, regardless of iteratives to a max of 4 attacks per round. There's no way of making more than 4 attacks per round.

Group initiative and posting frequency: I'll roll initiatives and group them as BEFORE Bad guys// BAD GUYS // After Bad guys. People in a group have 24 hours to resolve. Then we resolve each group. Some days I'll roll enemies rolls directly with my real life dice, hope you don't mind, but it speeds up posting frequency. Particularly with rolls that are reactive to your actions (AoO, saves, trip checks, etc). Similarly, if an enemy grapples or trips you, I'll roll both of the opposing checks to save time. NOT with saves.

BOONS


This is a weird party with no arcane spellcasting, no obvious tank and no range attacks.

Based on your requests I'll give you a boon to your character which is made easier since nobody made a binder (my favorite DnD class). I honestly don't want to think too much about the balance of these, so please, before complaining, consider that these are freebies.

Mirumoto Shimura
Your connection with your ancestor, Mirumoto Niten, is supernatural. A dragon shaped birthmark runs through your left arm from your shoulder down to the elbow, but it is more than a mark, and you have learnt over the years that it is an actual link with the past running through your veins. Once a day you can invest your soul energy (esentia) on the birthmark to gain 25% Fortification per point of esentia invested, you have also learnt how to bound it to your soul, when you do so, you gain the benefits of the Born Duelist Feat and DR Esentia/- as long as you fight with a Wakisashi and a Katana. However, just as with any soulmeld, you can't use any magic item on the arm slot at the same time. (I'll leave the visual fluff of the soulmeld up to you).
You also get 1 point of esentia plus one every 5 levels.

Luccan and Alhallor
With a little help from my forefathers:
It makes sense that in Oriental Adventures, with a Sintoist feeling, you have some powers derived from your family ancestors. As such, you'll be able to call the spirts of your family to aid you. Once a day you can pray and "bind" an ancestor.

Hayato Higa you commune with your great grand mother, a woman infamous for her poisonous concoctions and deadly poisons. You can only bind her at the break of dawn when the roosters arise and you must sacrifice some of your own health. Binding her has a DC of 24 (character level + cha).
Sign: binding her makes you look older and sick
Influence: If you make a bad pact, you become cruel and bitter, you have a -2 to diplomacy and sense motive and have to make a will DC 15 if you want to flee combat.

Benefits:
Posion Master: You get the Poison Master feat (Complete Scoundrel p80). you get to select which type of poison at the begining of the day.

Skill Focus. Craft Poison

Master deadthmaker: Once per day you can use minor creation as a spellcaster of your character level to aid you in fabricating poison but you measure the amount in dozes instead of gallons. You must succeed in a Craft Poison DC and can only make one type of poison. Posion created this way cannot be sold and it expires after 24h.

Onka
You commune with the spirit of the great Battle Dancer Iron Fist, a legendary warrior from the Jade Empire to whom you are connected by blood. Iron Fist lived a long time ago, when Battledancing was a recognized martial discipline and the best warriors of the empire learned the Dance. Iron Fist was the best of them. To commune with him you must dance the traditional dance of steel wheel, a ritual that takes 10 minutes and requires full concentration.
DC 25
Sign: your hands look as if made of iron. It does not have any practical effect.
Influence: If you make a bad pact, you become cocky and defiant. You have a bad time avoiding violent solutions to situation and getting out of fights. If you flee a fight, you have a -2 penalty to AC and attacks for 1 hour.
Benefits:
Dance of death: Once per encounter you may move your speed and make a single attack against any creature you move past, provoking attacks of opportunity normally. When you use your dance of death, you forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats or abilities (such as the Cleave feat or the haste spell), and you cannot attack any single creature more than once.

Skill Focus: Tumble

Sharpness of the deadly beauty: once per encounter you move so smoothly and precisely that your weapon and fists strike through. For a number of rounds equal to your Cha bonus, you add your charisma to your damage. This is considered precision damage adn does not get multiplied by feats based in power attack (like leap attack).


Leylek
Your people mastered the steppes with extreme hardniness and relentless resilience.You have the Steely Resolve (EX) class feature of a Crusader of your character level and once per day if you fail a Fort or Will save you can delay the effects by a number of rounds equal to your constitution bonus.


Shiernein
Your ancestral Daisho are atually Legendary Weapons: Kamate (Katana version) and Eventide Edge (Wakisashi version, normal steel not mithril). You are considered to have the first tier of benefits without any penalties. But if you want to continue improving them, you must do the rituals and pay the price.


Ahalya
This is straight forward. Your wolf gains the benefit of both animal companion and familiar (these don't stack, only pick the best)

Luccan

Hayato will speak in dark blue, if that's readable

I apologize, the GitP forums have been out of sight, out of mind for a few days. I'm a bit busy this evening, but I can try to reply tomorrow. Alternatively, I probably won't have much to say anyway, so if you want to move things along.

Additionally, the anthropomorphic crow of the group will speak in bolded Black, if that's all right.

And the first natural 1 and 2 are rolled!

Auranghzeb
2023-03-25, 10:23 AM
Better get them out of your system early in the game! But yes, you won't see or know much with those rolls.

1. Lucan, I'd need some gather info or knowledge local rolls from you.

2. Knowledge Religion from Ahalya (i will spell it wrong a couple of times, apologies in advance)

3. Perception checks from Onka and Sheirnein


I also need those binding checks for Hayato and Onka if they bond their ancestors today.


A note on style. I enjoy developing the lore and the backgrounds as the game moves. If you feel like you need me to drop a "Michael Cane on a Nolan movie" character to drop some plot exposition, let me know.

That was a good game and a good team indeed (friendly neighbourhood creepy evil yuan-ti for the win!). Pity you missed out on that last fight before it really died where we absolutely slaughtered some four wizards with the power of spamming Dispel Magic. (And bludgeoning damage. And dragons.)

Life got really crazy for me with a big promotion at work. I had to drop two games I was having a lot of fun with, and when I managed to settle, both games had gone askew.

Hayato didn't bind today either, since he's asking questions he doesn't want to risk his great grandmother's influence throwing him off. Also, pace seems good so far

Sorry, I've just been... super focused on other things to the exclusion of literally everything else in my life. I would say I've had a rough week, but I've really just been... kinda running on autopilot. An autopilot that has fallen out of the rhythm of checking GitP.

I'd like to continue with this, if possible. I just probably won't be able to post tonight, as it's late and I don't have the mental focus for it.

Metastachydium
2023-04-03, 08:09 AM

Please do! My angry bird (or, currently, hungry bird) alone doesn't constitute a sufficient amount of birds in a game that can have more birds.

No worries, I have been there, I think everyone has been there. I'll handle the Samurai as an NPC until you feel less burdened.

Perception: [roll0] (nice picture, by the way).

Edit: At this point, I think Leylek might want to see an optometrist.

Metastachydium
2023-04-14, 07:37 AM
Did Leylek get explicit instructions on how to deal with/report suspicious things, or does he have full discretion?

Auranghzeb

Very good question that I proceed to answer if I had thought of it from the beginning: approach, confirm, and then: either report or deal with if deemed necessary.

I'll try to respond in the IC in the next couple days, work has picked up a lot, but should calm down by next week. As a quick question, do i even get AoO against a surprise Bullrush? I don't know it's coming with the explosions

Edit: Also no worries, Meta. I knew there was a risk of being seen as a foe when I climbed the roof

Auranghzeb
2023-05-23, 09:29 AM
No, but your kicks miss.

You get attacked and then is your turn again.


I got a message from Duskraven, they may join the group. But I haven't heard from Luccan in a while.

Sorry this game has been spotty. I don't have much energy during the week lately, and TBH I have been blessed with TWO IRL DND campaigns the past two weekends.

I'd say probably yes.

I mean we could do this as 3 players I think, but having some real Ninja's and Samurai does give it more legitimacy somehow.

Would be good if we could search for players while we still do the battle, I guess there comes a scene where It'd be easier to bring more people in instead of in the middle of battlefield chaos?

If that's the case, Luccan: let me apologise once again, and more profusely for that! I know you wanted to have this game, and I absolutely didn't want to take it away from you. I'd offer Hayato a free shot at pushing Leylek off of a roof, but he can fly; if there's any other way I can make up for the incident, please do tell!

Auranghzeb
2023-05-26, 10:32 AM
I think that was perfectly logical. Not PvP or anything like that.

I'll ping Luccan and Dusk today.


I also reached out to BelGareth. He’ll likely join the game.

Auranghzeb

Bel created a Discord server for the game. I don't want to exclude anyone who doesn't use Discord though.

yay! thanks!

As an FYI, I'll be away on vacation from June 21-25th. I'll have my phone, but formatting posts on it is a pain.

It hasn't been the smoothest adventure so far, will provide maps for future encounters. Enjoy the vacay.

Just thought I mention that I wouldn't be disappointed if we don't find any other attackers (or don't rescue some for the interrogation). Probably not easy to find clues on this attack.

So no one wants the discord server?

I'll remove the game specific channels if no.

Hi, I told Bel over Discord. Last Wednesday I quit my job amidst a large reduction of workforce and forced reductions of salaries, which I was not going to take, and I have been adjusting to "vacay"/aggressive interviews for other positions. I didn't want to log on the forums because the temptation of procrastination was too much. But now I'm getting used to a new routine and organizing some freelance work while I land something more permanent. So, all this to tell you I'll be posting again these days and I understand if any of you dropped out.

Sounds good, hope everything is calming down for you.

I'd still be there, hope you're new routine is going to work out for you.

@Bel: I'll take one Discord.

Huh. I totally forgot we have one of those. I think I'm already on your server, so you might as well put me in there too.

Yeah, **** that! I fully endorse your decision, for whatever that's worth!

Good to hear and have luck with the hunt!

No worries! The bird stays in the picture.

In a moment quite inopportune, perhaps, but

AN EARLY WARNING:

I'll be away for the first three days of July, and might be quite sparse the following week, especially around the 6th and 7th.
I apologize well in advance for any inconvenience or slowdown this might cause.

Any of y'all have any requests or suggestions for what spells you'd like Ahalyā to meditate for? She can spontaneous cast to cure spells if that's a concern.

Aid is cool, all the stat buff spells would be great as no one has a stat boosting item (bull strength etc), as well as prayer.

Though it ain't much, Raksha could Aid Another with the survival check since she has Scent.

Orrrr (as a possibility), go into Trance and then Commune with Lesser Spirit to see which way maybe they went. The drawback is time.

Looks like that won't be neccessary now, but I'll appreciate that, going forward!

Wild contingency plans! [Ominously.] I have some myself.

Since Discord is down, is Ahalya picking up anything on her Spirit Sight?
