Amalric: good evening Sirs!
Smon: How you doing?
chris107: Wait. There's a Minister for Pubs?
Amalric: i am good, very good thanks. Yourself?
Smon: BTW I made a New Year's resolution to compliment people more. Mostly re my office mate, she is French and needs a lot of complimenting. But let me say thank you to my players, you are all great.
chris107: We are alive - that's even better
Smon: I am good, just saying my wife got a job after 2.5 years lounging around, she starts Monday with a meeting with the Minister for Pubs.
Smon: Live players are good, yup!
Smon: Never had a player die on me. Have lost a couple postgrad students over the years.
chris107:
Smon: It's sad, yup. One African student died of cancer a few months ago.
Amalric: ooh i like compliments
chris107: That's very sad.
Amalric: almost as much as I like French workmates
Smon: Sad face @chris, smiley face @Amalric
Smon: @Graham - Yeah, it is cool.
chris107: @ Simon - How rich is Doris?
Smon: British women are not always so immaculately dressed, for one thing.
Smon: Make a CHA check for Doris, Chris.
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets:
11,chris107: fail
chris107: She sells by strength rather than charm
Smon: Fail by 2. OK She sells them for 37-2=35gp each, so 110gp total.
Smon: No, 105gp.
chris107: That's good.
Smon: When Ken gets back I'll start. Currently Doris is fleeing a large pack of hyenas through the Ghinarian Hills.
She was heading back from Ahyf along the road when they caught her (lovely) scent. chris107: Oops
Goonergeezer: im back
Smon: Doris gets 105 XP.
Amalric: being chased through the hills? now where have I heard that before, Ken?
chris107: = 625XP
Goonergeezer: Hmmmmm rings a bell
Smon: Doris is on 935 XP after +105.
chris107: Doris will not flee scavangers
chris107: Oh nice surprise
chris107: Hyena's are cowardly creatures
Smon: GM: Doris decides not to flee scavengers, and turns, determined to sell her 9hp dearly atop a craggy boulder.
Goonergeezer: with sharp teeth and a nasty attitude
Smon: The cackling laughs draw closer... Suddenly out of the scraggly trees bursts a dark and hideous-ish form... Kal!
chris107: Hurls her spear at the nearest then draws sword & shield
Smon: Kal, you see Doris ahead atop a good-sized rock. It's a little after midnight, the moonlight illuminates her lithe figure. Nearby you can hear the cackling of hyenas, lots of them, getting rapidly closer.
chris107: Back to back Kal!
Smon: Doris readies her spear, scanning the treeline for the first of them...
chris107: We'll see these cowardly creatures off!

Smon: Kal scrambles up onto the rock to stand beside Doris. Moonlight glints on red eyes and bristling fur as the pack swarms out of the trees towards you... Doris throws her spear...roll to hit (+1 rng)

Smon: "Just no idea what to play" - a coward?
Amalric: Lance has that one down already
chris107:
Goonergeezer: still no books pdf or otherwise so it cuts down on what i can play
chris107: I don't enjoy playing cowardly characters - it's not the essence of heroic fantasy. I played my cowerdly wizard for 33 years, kind of been there and done that
)Smon: It's much the same as Labyrinth Lord
Smon: ok
Amalric: Lance isn't really a coward, but he knows when to run and has no compunction about it
chris107: I'll be back in 5 mins, I think Ath sent me the basic rules pdf.
Amalric: Ken, you can download Labyrinth Lord for free here:-
Amalric: http://www.goblinoidgames.com/labyrinthlord.html
Goonergeezer: ty
Smon: I'll switch to Lance
Amalric: Speak His Name And He Shall Appear
Amalric: I said that last night in Chris's game too
Smon: GM: Dawn in the village, and Lance is roused from sleep in Jana's arms by a commotion. "Malthis and Maldar have returned!" someone cries.
Smon: Groggily in the alcove, Lance looks over Jana's bare rump and sees the local battle-leader Malthis stride into the hall, with his two men and Maldar of Verius, who called Lance a murderer. All four set out to pursue him last night.
Amalric: "Oooh, whoopee" says Lance, cheerlessly
Amalric: Kal a murderer, surely?
Smon: yeah, Kal
Smon: The warriors look tired, mud staining their bronze armour
Smon: Lord Vilius, Theber's aged ruler, comes forward from his private quarters at the rear of the great hall. "What news, Malthis?"
Amalric: Lance gets dressed quickly and instructs Jana to do the same, then he shuffles out of the alcove
Smon: Malthis bows to his liege and father-in-law. "The murderer is dead,milord. Hyenas slew him in the hills. They were feasting on him when we reached him. Fallen beside him was a warrior-woman, an Amazon by the look of her. We could not retrieve the bodies..."
Smon: Jana yawns and pulls on her white dress. Lance dresses too and emerges from his alcove into the hall.
Amalric: "Then justice has been served."
Smon: Maldar glances to Lance, nods. "Aye. I saw enough to be sure. The beast is dead."
Amalric: "Again, I apologise for bringing him here, albeit unknowingly. And yet, perhaps it is fortunate I did, for he has been caught and the ultimate punishment delivered, where otherwise he might have lived to commit more crimes."
Smon: Malthis steps forwards, presenting Lord Vilius with a familiar looking bronze-headed spear. "We took this. I think it was the Amazon's."
Smon: Jana emerges, sleepy-eyed. "Lance is dead?" She looks at the spear. "And Doris, too?!"
Amalric: KAL!! KAL IS DEAD!!
8:25pm 2014-1-08 loadeddie Has entered the room
Smon: Sorry
Smon: Doing bad tonight. Have 50 XP.
Amalric: (I hope her reaction would be a bit more animated if Lance was dead
)Amalric: LOL it's okay, don't worry about it
chris107: Lance dead too?
chris107:
Smon: LOL
Amalric: mind you, i'm still alive, so maybe thats worth 50 XP
Smon: GM: She said "Kal is dead?"
Smon: OOC I can hear my son downstairs - suspicious sawing noises - BRB
8:27pm 2014-1-08 loadeddie Has exited the room
Amalric: "It would appear so. If you lie down with dogs, and all that..."
Amalric: LOL sawing can't be good
chris107: I'll grab a top up then have a stab at a character...
Smon: (was harmless, for once!)
Smon: Seroni of Onhir, the elven slave trader, emerges from her own alcove.
Smon: Seroni: "Good riddance to the murderer... was Doris a friend of yours, Lance?"
Smon: (breaking at 9pm to get Bill to bed)
Amalric: "No, she was an uncivilised women with poor manners and questionable hygiene."
Smon: Jana nods. "She was quite vile."
Amalric: "We had met her but a day or two ago. Didn't much care for her, good riddance."
chris107:
Smon: Seroni smiles coolly. "Well then, that's excellent. May the hyenas feast well."
Smon: Lord Vilius takes the bronze spear, inspecting the workmanship. "Hm. Interesting." He hands it off to a page-boy.
Smon: Seroni curtsies. "My lord, I apologise for bringing a criminal to your house. I did not realise..."
chris107: Foxley - Elf - Slaver. S: 14 IQ: 9 W: 11-2 = 9 D: 17+1 = 18 Co: 16 Ch: 15
Smon: Vilius waves a hand dismissively. "Think nothing of it, dear lady. Not your fault at all."
Smon: GM - Foxley is one of Seroni's men?
chris107: Oh
Amalric: (nice Chris! not another Chaot, hopefully?)
chris107: I'll have another think on a name then
chris107: Oops missed the ?
chris107: Yeah that's fine
Smon: That was a question not a statement! Elf Primes are STR and INT, not DEX
chris107: Ah well back to the drawing board then, i have a head full of concepts
Smon: So you could raise STR or INT 17 to 18 if desired but not DEX
Smon: Only Thieves can raise DEX
chris107: back in 5
chris107: And thieves look pretty hopeless
Smon: & Halflings (STR & DEX)
Goonergeezer: Character sent simon
Smon: thx
Smon: Shall we do a time jump to when Kal leaves Seroni's service, so you can intro your PCs then?
Smon: Maybe in a tavern in Ahyf?
Goonergeezer: If grahams happy with a time jump
Smon: Say 1 week?
Goonergeezer: Tarquin Telmaster Human Mage Str 10 Int 18 wis 11 dex 10 con 10 cha 10 Dagger Q staff Vial Ink (1oz) Scroll case 5 sheets parchment Spell Book Wineskin 1 quart fine wine 2 Guard dogs Tempest & Triton 15 gp
Smon: cool
Smon: I like M-Us.
Amalric: works for me
Smon: Play smart.
Amalric: I guess we can just have Lance spending the week shagging
Smon: You can choose 1 1st level spell. Also you have a mentor who can teach you more at 2nd & 3rd level
Amalric: (brb kids to bed!)
Smon: Mentor prob in Ahyf, the only town hereabouts, likely a greybeard Ghinoran hedge-wizard, but could be a pirate sea mage etc
Smon: Info on Ahyf here - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/the-ghinarian-hills.html
Smon: Sleep or Charm P are obviously good 1st level spells
Goonergeezer: A pirate sea mage, been using his charm person spell to lure people into a trap and then sell them on as slaves
Smon: Heh heh
Goonergeezer: or as galley slaves
Smon: OK your boss is likely the Pirate Queen Tsamar, one of the two local Pirate Queens, she's based in Ahyf & is rival of Sarene who raids from a secret stronghold.
Smon: Your mentor would be her senior mage.
Smon: You can detail him too as a contact.
Smon: Currently Tsamar's crew are resting & boozing in Ahyf after their last conquest, which is when you spot Lance & Jana in a dockside tavern.
chris107: Henghist - Hobbit - S: 16 +2 = 18 IQ: 9 W: 11-2 = 9 D: 17 +1 = 18 Co: 15 Ch: 14 -2 = 10. Plate Mail, Sword (used 2 H - does this do the double damage thingy?) Short bow, 20 arrows, sack, water skin, rations 1 week and 4GP

chris107: +6?
Smon: Do you want to make Hengist another pirate

Smon: Max hp at 1st level.

*Eliana sneaks in wearing her full platemail*
Smon: hi Eli
Smon: Didn't see you there!
Amalric: cool, a mage and a hobbit!
Smon: Must be invisible
chris107: Hengist Kahn - Eastern Hobbit pirate.
Smon: cool
Smon: heh heh
chris107: Could the PM be some kind of Samurai style stuff?
Smon: PM?
chris107: Plate Mail
Smon: oh, sure. Lamellar
chris107: And the sword a Katana style blade?
Smon: steel lamellar & katana, yup
Smon: You come from the mysterious Orient

chris107: we're
chris107: Sounds good.
Smon: Brilliant, loving it. PM me your sheet when ready
chris107: I will, I've got the basics.
chris107: Just need to work on the character stuff.
Smon: @Ken I'm thinking your mentor is a drunken sot so despite your inexperience you are often called on to stand in for him
Smon: Dougal the Drunken, a Tharbrian Sea-Mage
Amalric:
Smon:
Goonergeezer: prone to drunken rages where he beats his students?
Smon: Sounds good.
Goonergeezer: hence the guard dogs
Smon: They do nip.
Smon: ok I'll go get Bill to Bed. Plan to resume by 9.30pm and do another hour, get your new PCs intro'd. OK?
Smon: @Amalric you get paid as agreed (better check how much) then deduct 3d6gp for drink & debauchery.
Smon: Cya shortly.
chris107: PM sent - forgot to add about his long scalp lock
Goonergeezer: coffee 2 mins
Smon: thx
Amalric: 10 gold to take Seroni as far as Ayhf
Amalric: *Ahyf
Amalric: was 10 gold each, I guess Lance could claim another 10gp on behalf of Jana
Goonergeezer: Back
Goonergeezer: Tarquin..... http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/528xn/p01jsc00.jpg
chris107: Very Dapper!
Amalric: indeed, very smart!
Amalric: guess he won't be sleeping in the barn then?
Goonergeezer: Only when he burns the house down
Goonergeezer: ?
chris107: http://www.cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic1809882-md.jpg
chris107: I hope that's right, was a bugger to copy down!
Goonergeezer: unable to find
chris107: Bugger
chris107: Never mind.
chris107: Was the only picture of a Samurai hobbit I could find
Smon: ok back
Smon: @Graham yup 20gp-3d6
Amalric: 3d6?
Smon: for expenses for 2 over past week
Smon: mostly booze
Amalric rolls 3d6 and gets:
6, 1, 2, = 9 Amalric: 11gp then
Smon: OK, you still have 11gp left from your pay.
Smon: Jana lets you look after her share.
9:36pm 2014-1-08 saalaria Has entered the room
chris107: Evening

Smon: It's about water which looks hopeful...
chris107: Gin helps Simon
Smon: I'm tempted!
saalaria: how old is critter?
Smon: GM: A couple days after bidding farewell to Seroni the elven slaver, Jana and Lance are drinking in the Salty Wench tavern on Ahyf's rowdy quayside; prior to the evening's planned exertions in their dingy room upstairs.
Smon: Bill's 6.5
Goonergeezer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ADF4iY7KCk
Smon: Wife is at Rugby training for Wimbledon Ladies
saalaria: my critter likes hearing modules read out would you believe! Hes 5
saalaria: apologies if im interrupting but never been in chat before!
chris107: Good lad
Smon: Welcome to chat!

Smon: I'm trying to run a BX D&D game that got interrupted by near-TPK 5 minutes in to our 1st session after Xmas break.
Smon: Then a critter who won't sleep.
saalaria: good to see the GB crew in one place...

Smon: Not really - 2 PCs haven't started yet
Smon: Just been doing chargen
saalaria: ah - you run game(s) in london I believe SMon dont you?
chris107: Where you from saalaria?
saalaria: I am London based so was tempted to pm you..
Smon: Was planning to restart game at a docks tavern in the town of Ahyf, just north of the Ghinarian Hills in Barbarian Altanis.
Smon: Cool, we could use another player.
Amalric: more damage soakers!
Smon: I'm planning to GM 10 sessions or so weekly, looks like a pirate theme is possible, have to see how it goes.
Amalric: or a thief
saalaria: i do a lot of pbp on the Unseen Servant, RL seems to limit my face-to-face time
Smon: It's a sandbox game so can go however players lead.
saalaria: ..bbut chat based is an angle I hadnt considered!
Smon: We play Wednesdays usually 7.30pm-10.30pm
Smon: Chat works great IMO
Smon: I'm hoping wife comes back early so I can give up on childcare for the evening...
Smon: Not v likely though.
chris107:
saalaria: ha ha - yes she prob likes the break...mine certinaly does!
Amalric: always welcome to roll up a character...
chris107: Fighter - Magic User and Hobbit at the moment.
Smon: Yup, saal if you'd like to join in, now would be a good time to make a PC?
saalaria: Yes I am tempted...
Smon: Game is roughly 15-rated, mild adult content & violence
saalaria: but I dont really have that much time now - how about next week?
chris107: I use the term Fighter very loosely
Smon: If you do rolls now you can prep character for next week
Smon: it's best 3 of 4d6, arrange as desired.
Smon: Using Moldvay Basic but Labyrinth Lord is fine if you don't have that.
Smon: to roll, type /roll 4d6x6
Smon: I'm now playing ocean sounds via youtube...

saalaria: okay /roll 4d6x6
chris107: Oh you're one of those pirates are you?
Smon: @chris - do you think your PC escaped from the 'other' pirates, not the gang of Ken's PC?
chris107: Just the command saalaria
Smon: Otherwise your pcs would avoid each other
Smon: type /roll 4d6x6, nothing before the /
Amalric: hmph, bandwagon jumpers
saalaria: doh
chris107: Okay, Hengist escaped from eastern pirates

chris107: (bandwheelbarrow?)
Smon: can arrange as desired STR INT WIS CON DEX CHA, then adjust as per BX/LL: -2 to one of STR INT WIS in order to raise a Prime stat +1, max 18.
Smon: If Fighter prime is STR
Smon: the game blog - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/
saalaria: so we have fighter, mu, halfling so far?
chris107: Hobbit
saalaria: my apologies!
chris107: A Samurai Hobbit...
Smon: the main page with chargen & setting - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/the-ghinarian-hills.html
chris107: Henghist Kahn.
Amalric: can he have the default scores on the website if he wants?
Smon: the dragonsfoot thread - http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=53154&start=570
Smon: oh yeah
Smon: that's ok too
Smon: I was too generous with those
Smon: Max hp
saalaria: liking the look of the blog!
Smon: roll 3d6 for gp, x10
Smon: Glad you like it.
saalaria: hengist khan ? love it!
Smon: So,maybe for the rest of tonight we can just knock ideas around ooc
Smon: run it up the flagpole, see who salutes... any other '80s cliches I can think of...
chris107: The inscrutable Hengist says little.
chris107: But bows (even more)low often.
chris107: He wishes to master the language and learn the philosophy of the barbarian.
chris107: (Oh and nick their stuff)
Amalric: throw it out on the stoop, see if the cat licks it up
saalaria: so any requests for char from me..running enough clerics really but that seems an obvious choice
Smon: Do you want to have a go at some ocean/piratical stuff? Or wilderness, urban or dungeon? I have plenty of dungeons I can use. The Wilderlands has great stuff with all the enchanted islands for sea adventures though
Amalric: we have an NPC cleric
saalaria: I think a fighter sounds about right for me
Goonergeezer: play whatever takes your fancy
Amalric: the two PCs that died tonight were fighters
Amalric:
saalaria: so let me take a guess for the gold....
chris107: Dungeon works for me - An iron armoured Hobbit ain't going to float well.
saalaria Rolls 3d6x10 and gets:
5, 2, 1 = 8
1, 3, 6 = 10
6, 2, 2 = 10
6, 5, 5 = 16
3, 3, 4 = 10
4, 6, 5 = 15
6, 6, 5 = 17
4, 5, 1 = 10
4, 4, 4 = 12
2, 6, 6 = 14
Smon: current group is F3 Cl3-NPC and new MU1 and halfling1
saalaria: nope!
Smon: maybe your lamellar has cork lining?
chris107: Hobbit
chris107: Now that's a brilliant idea!
Smon: the class name & your chosen racial descriptor are slightly different thanks to evil Tolkien Lawyers...
Goonergeezer: Tarquib is gonna have a hareem of half naked fighting chicks
(all charmed of course)Smon: it was quite common historically
Goonergeezer: tarquin
chris107: Darn the evil Tolkien lawyers.
chris107: Bobbing up and down in his corky armour sounds like fun
Smon:
@gooner - ok you can start with charmed berserker females, nb they will save eventually though! And then...Goonergeezer: i like the pirate idea but am happy with whatever others want to do
Goonergeezer: and then...... its 4d6x6 time
Smon: There's also various political/military stuff, but you might want to gain a couple levels before taking on Warlord Yusan or Neo-Nerath. Or Thracia.
Goonergeezer: yea i got enough millitary/.political stuff in the other game
Smon: Tarquin has CHA 10, so can start with 4 NM Retainers if desired. -2 dogs leaves you 2 war-maidens.
Goonergeezer: will wait to see what everone decides, if we go the pirate route then the wqar-maidens are a ,must
Smon: I do like the Picaresque wandering in this game.
chris107: NM. Nymphomaniac?
Smon: Normal Man
Goonergeezer: nude maidens
Smon: LOL
chris107: Ah...
Smon: Topless,this is a 15-rated game remember
Amalric: i'm easy. some of the places we have found here have been quite lethal
chris107: Just a bit
Amalric: and with 2-3 new 1st level PCs it won't be any easier
Smon: Some of the worst stuff was written "for 1st-3rd level"
Smon: eg the spiders that killed Chris's 1st PC - that was "an introductory adventure for 1st level characters"
chris107: No, it was Captain Lance grabbing Dick and stopping him running away that killed him
Smon: Yep! The hyenas that ate your 2nd PC today were lucky, but also 3 hit dice per Monster Manual. Hyenas are big!
saalaria: okay hes a fighter... STR 18, INT 10, WIS 10, DEX 10, CON 15, CHA 9
chris107: They are bad!
Smon: I kinda wondered if you confused them with jackals.
Smon: IRL they scare off lions...
chris107: Muscles are good
Smon: Stats looking good!
saalaria: A big lump called .....Godfrey
Smon: Plate/heavy armour is 60gp, shield 10gp, sword (1d8) 10gp. Or 2-h sword (d10) 15gp. I have house rule 2-handed weapon doubles STR dmg bonus
saalaria: I will take the first set of 3 for gold - 80...
Smon: He'll start w 9 hp as Fighter-1
saalaria: I see him as a twohanded sword man
Smon: AC 2 then, 3 to rear.
Smon: plate + 2h sword 75
Smon: AC 3
Smon: PM me charsheet when done
saalaria: looks good - he is definitely down on his luck so looking for coin...pirates could be interesting..
saalaria: any particular format for the sheet?
Smon: No, but you can use the ones on the PC page as template if desired.
Smon: NB IMCs running away is often a good idea. That's your last hint.
saalaria: okay . the only other thing. 7.30 may be tricky as that is books and bed time here but I will do my best
Smon: (Incredibly though my Yggsburgh game went months & months before the first PC death)
chris107: That was mine too
saalaria: yes monty python knights are commendable role models - always!
Smon: try to check in around 7.30, then get back to us when critter(s) asleep
saalaria: what was the char's name chris
chris107: I'm on PC 8 I think!
saalaria: will do - I have two 5 and 4 so always fun!
Amalric: i haven't managed to kill my PC in either campaign, yet
saalaria: critters I mean..
Smon: @sal - cool beans
Smon: Chris is nearing double figures for dead PCs IMCs...
saalaria: how do you roll gold though - is it just do the 3d6?
Smon: yes
Smon: >>saalaria Rolls 3d6x10 and gets: 5, 2, 1 = 8<< You got 80gp
chris107: My first Hobbit survived the first game
Smon: Which hobbit was that?
Smon: You had one eaten by a blue dragon I think?
chris107: No he survived. That's why he got so rich!
Goonergeezer: i bet you are all happy you no longer have to decipher Kal's Ramblings now
Smon: Oh, wow!
Smon: (YES!)
chris107: Aths fighter got eaten
Smon: Ath was perturbed.
chris107: Moffet survived to 6th and was massivly wealthy.
Smon: Awesome
chris107: And had his magical sword Hornet. No nasty fighters left to nick it
chris107: But since then every one else has died...
Smon: Kal's girlfriend will be sad
Smon: She's a sweet girl.
Smon: I think Jana was happy Doris bought the farm, though!
Amalric: she wasn't alone
Smon:
Smon: That was one mighty obnoxious Amazon!
chris107: Hengist looks on inscrutably
chris107: And smiles a mysterious oriental smile...
Smon: ok, I'll prep a bit and look to restart campaign 7.30pm next Wednesday.
Smon: I'll post log FWIW
A couple days after bidding farewell to Seroni the elven slaver, Jana and Lance are drinking in the Salty Wench tavern on Ahyf's rowdy quayside; prior to the evening's planned exertions in their dingy room upstairs...
Captain Lance's adventures continued here.
Lance Harcourt eventually perished on Golarion, but rumour has it that Jana Vex one day found her way home...
