Uh, I'm currently preoccupied but if Ian doesn't show up in the obituary soon then he might be up for an ally.

Rizban · 10-30-2012, 01:03 AM

All of you and your paranoia. I mean, only three of the 10 or so players I'm DMing are in any immediate danger of dying.
"Immediate" meaning within the next four or five posts...

Then again, planswalker, who was my second in command on GMing this has lost more characters than any other player except maybe the player of Alfonso... Nope, planswalker has definitely lost more.

mrcarter11 · 10-30-2012, 05:36 AM

Well Little Green seems to be lasting fairly well.

About the guard work.. I could in theory do it. It's already what I spend the current majority of my time on. Though my max on wine is 150 gold.

bindin garoth · 10-30-2012, 09:06 AM

I'm looking to take down the spies, if anyone is interested in helping.

Morithias · 10-30-2012, 01:37 PM

And I just got nearly raped.

15 gold pieces a day for a bodyguard. 1000 if you bring me the head of a halfling woman named Hedda.

Rizban · 10-30-2012, 01:42 PM

There was no attempted rape.
It was all in the player's mind, never in the DM's.

Level 5 spell...sorry makes me think dominate person...I guess my woman is just paranoid.

And now she's having a crisis of faith. God I would hate to see what this girl is going to be like when the shop finally opens and it gets attack by bandits..

The whole "parents vanishing into thin air" doesn't help. Plus she's literally the minimum age for adult hood (110 + 4 on a 4d6 for a simple class).

For all intents and purposes she's 16 years old, and completely at odd with the world that wants her dead.

Aldurin · 10-30-2012, 02:06 PM

Man, you got it easy compared to me, I'm about to be arrested for no reason!

Zerter · 10-30-2012, 02:08 PM

Pfff. I was a a +1 on a d20 away from dying because of paying someone a compliment... in the first conversation I started!

Yeah but if you go by the laws in cityscape, your'e likely to get off if the people in power are lawful and so on. Then again I'm not sure about the corruption level of this city..I'm starting to think "burn it to the ground and start over" might not be a bad idea. Anyone got a book of exalted deeds and can cast level 9 magic? Up for an apocalypse from the sky?

I just got scammed out of 220 gold pieces. Remind me to murder that bartender and burn down his tavern when I'm done. I'm thinking of going from Waukeen to Glasya, but I'm not sure how active infernal cults are in the city.

mrcarter11 · 10-30-2012, 02:16 PM

What tavern scammed you? That seems... odd. Most taverns I've run into are fairly awesome.

Specifically banned sourcebook.

It was a customer actually. I was WORKING at the tavern.

Ah, thought you meant the sourcebook by the same name. Carry on.

mrcarter11 · 10-30-2012, 02:27 PM

Very interesting in terms of the tavern.. I'm curious as to which, but I'll probably go there looking for trouble if you told me, so don't.. But I hope you have better experiences soon.

About the guard pay,, eh I make a good bit more now, so I can't really. Unless you can make magic items or something of the sort. If I recall you were the one that wanted to start your own corporation for lack of a better word, I mean, I can see getting in on the ground floor per say so that when your business ventures take off, well I'm already there..

Zerter · 10-30-2012, 02:29 PM

O btw, I'm interested in helping you with your business and such. As far as I understand it from the public threads any way, pretty sure there's a niche in which I can be useful. Been waiting for a public thread so I can find some reason to visit.

Morithias · 10-30-2012, 02:36 PM

She originally was suppose to be about repairing the city and helping the poor, but now she's ticked off. Some evil halfling just scammed her and she had to pay for it, if Waukeen isn't going to watch over her, and she gets punished for being scammed, how can her faith be pure.

Quite frankly she's an over emotional unstable teenager, and her parents not being around isn't helping.

Quite frankly her business plan is going from "We care" to "Shadowrun Megacorp", very quickly, but she's an elf, she has years to build it and up and plan before turning the city into Baator.

Rizban · 10-30-2012, 02:41 PM

Just because I feel like sharing it publicly, I hereby provide a random list of minor deities who have small shrines strewn about the Temple District.

Coin, the god of, surprisingly, currency and trade, greedy beyond compare and thoroughly evil.
Necrophytes, god of pimps, panderers and go-betweens. A new god, but a very hard worker.
Inary, the god of the wind, sorrow, courtships, and... pork sandwiches?
Nonoulhu, the asexual deity of nudity
Sifah, the goddess of beans, clouds, and second thoughts
Kesu, god of Fertility and Victory, known to be male but always take female form when appearing to mortals
Ginu Rro, goddess of deserts and desserts
Kaeta, the goddess of horses
Eneasher, goddess of night, nightmares and fate
Inem, the goddess of money, wishes and bad luck
Dreasseth, the god of secrets and thieves
Eloandry, the god of misery and chaos

This. Totally this. This is EXACTLY the type of god a jaded teenager would worship. "Teenage Haley" is an example of this.

mmm, I'm getting in the mood for shadowrun, and I still need to design my cohort. Maybe a crimson scourge so I can hunt down people who don't pay their loans and sell them into slavery.

I personally prefer 2-3 levels of Justiciar (CW) combined with Thayan Slaver (Una).

Actually the SRD, does say you can recruit cohorts of races, classes, and alignments, but how far does that stretch?

Like do I actually get to design the cohort, or is that up to the DM?

I mean in my old group we would design our own cohorts, but I'm not sure how this and other DMs do it.

Rizban · 10-30-2012, 05:38 PM

You can look for something specific, but the DM determines availability and exact statistics/personality/connections/etc.

Aright then that works.

Ulm11 · 10-30-2012, 10:37 PM

From what little I have picked up from this thread I have started a mental timer to see how long my character lasts before things start to go wrong. Of course when that happens things are going to get messy.

MilesTiden · 10-31-2012, 12:32 AM

I'm fairly certain that absolutely everything will go wrong, but Darella will probably just think it's par for the course. She is incredibly unlucky. (Hopefully that will change... when I actually start to interact with things in a meaningful way and roll checks and stuff.)

ragingrage · 10-31-2012, 06:35 AM

I dunno. Yeah, a lot of people die, but there's also one guy who's made it to, what is it now, three full threads? You can stay alive if you're paranoid and smart.

Monodominant · 10-31-2012, 07:27 AM

Why thank you Ragingrage... always nice to be recognised :D

Yea, so Ishmael has survived 2 threads so far and midway in the 3rd... I have gotten close to death 3 times so far... once against the sniffer of the Jacks who killed me almost with 1 blow and I only survived by a literal amazingly lucky crit, once against a PC who I caught being a slaver and well gave him a chance to back off but he went at me after all and the third when that PCs belt exploded in a trap set by Rizbans character.

I guess there have been a couple of more times that I might have been in serious danger actually but I was unaware of it until later!

But when we are talking paranoia we are talking about the serious stuff... burning you clothes and cleaning up your blood from a battle scene to make sure noone gets a sympathetic link on you, putting on a disguise and then using a hat of disguise on top of that to make sure there are mundane and magical layers of protection, never using the same route twice, using teleportation to make sure you are not followed and off course renting a room and sleeping in the closet after you have deployed traps on the bed, on the door and under the bed...

Oh and before I forget...

I have been in the Docks with 2 characters too! One died and the other survived... and he has been to the Docks many times so

to Rizban!

And since Riz gave some info on shrines in the Temple district in case it helps anyone (or anyone cares) there are also the following established temples...

Temple of Pelor
Temple of Bahamut
Temple of Kelemvor
Temple of Tiamat
Temple of Boccob
Temple of Kord
Shrine of Tymora

but generally there are probably more, the above ones have been used in the past though.

PS>

Feel free to go to the Docks at night, I can personally guarantee nothing will happen to you... its really safe and fun there! Just remember to carry all your gear and gold with you.

Think your game is nasty?
There is currently a naked, unconscious person in my Bag of Holding.
Your move.

and yes, that is Step 1 of my master plan successfully executed

Also, depending on where you drank that expensive wine you might be very very glad I refused a certain quest offered to me.

ragingrage · 10-31-2012, 09:17 AM

Well, mono, you can'treally brag about the docks too much...You've found a loophole in those rules, or something like that...

So yeah, if you want to read probably the most interesting AvB story, Ishamael would be it. He's gotten really deep into the City and its plot.

Don't forget to open up the bag every 10 minutes, otherwise you'll have a corpse in your bag of holding. Which may or may not be a more awkward thing to explain if anyone notices.
