Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign
Game Master baldwin the merciful

Let's do both bless and inspire courage since the bonuses stack. I have 10 rounds left for the day. I'll save five for when we encounter the tiefling leader. If I have trouble getting into melee for whatever reason, I'll be tossing around ear-piercing screams.

Since I get to the boards so much later than everybody else, DM, please feel free to bot me. The above is my general "attack plan", but hopefully I'll be on by the time my turn in the initiative comes up. :)

I'll Divine Power myself as.well. I used my judgment against the devil. Remember, in 10 ft corridors me and John in front with shields up. Andrea keeps us up. Shinon can shoot into melee behind us

Since Andrea managed to get to sleep and pray, she should have all her channels and spells. Also, fill up on potions from me, I have 13 CLW rattling around my pack and people should still have a CMW from Areal.

If things go room to room, keep an eye on our backs for rogues.

I'll take 2 clw off you and add to my sheet.
And take a standard to make SHIELD WALL my teamwork feat

I suspect that we will be hitting quite a bit of combat today and this evening.

I'm basically waiting on Shinon to respond to the invisibility/checking door post from the Game thread.

Andrea and Orsin can you put your HP in your profile for easy refrence. it is, also, good to track HP status there too like the others have on their profile.

Done on the HP thing
Ouch, another difficult first round. So unless we kill the crossbowmen
they will hammer away at us while we try to ram the door. So we should focus on them/charge.

Note to self: No more negotiating with tielfings/end bosses

Edit: Ok ram ourway in. ANdrea will have her shield held up to help ward off bolts froma rchers. After the bless goes off, she will aid another on AC until we are in

edit:x2. Since we are going to be taking shots, Andrea will also channel to top us up.

Honestly it's pretty damn easy to kick in a door in real life. Even easier with a sledge or halligan tool. I'm not expecting it to stop a strong dwarf with a 10 ft ram

Awesome choice Orsin

Baldwin, Is it too late to shift say 4-5 CLW potions to Fiosa? From what I am guessing she will be better suited to medic and pouring potions down wounded character's throats will free up the PCs for combat.

Hmm.. Maybe I should turn her invisible so she can move around for healing without drawing fire.

Fiosa will take the healing positons to assist.

Ouch.

Well once again something to keep in mind, I unfortunatly didn't take Baldwin's hint about the Basatrds. I was thinking they were a kind of vilgilante/resistance group attacking nobles who targeted tieflings and thought we could negotiate a non-agression agreement and even perhaps team up with cleaning up Westcrown

Guh. Well since we have yet to see whatever trap they are going to
spring I say thing are not looking good here. Sorry guys.

The dice guided by Asmodeus is loving his rolls tonight!

It is probably best to use John's Str check +2 with Duncan Assisting, and the the ram +2.

If we can't get through the door with the first try, we should really deal with those crossbowers. They will tear us apart if we dawdle

(This woudl be an awesome spot for the Magus to leap in!)

It would except sunphoenix is a fighter/wizard

I'm amazed at Andrea's healing magic, since apparently it can give her temporary hit points as well. (27/25)

Whoops. The way I had it set up is that Andrea has 27 total HP and is down 2 points.

Edit: I switched it around so it is more in line with how others do it.

She puts her full HP on the left hand column and her current HP on the Right.

Well it looks like we have some time before the fight on the inside rally kicks off so we can plan thing out.

Getting everyone inside seems to be top priority since those outside will no doubt still be getting shot at. So if John and Duncan can push inside, then the others can get in as well(Or at least away from some of the shooters)
So having John,Duncan,Shinon and Ermolos start clearing the floor so we can secure it is a good start. We still have the two in the bell tower so Orsin might want to use another charge from his wand when the wizard comes down.

I still haven't sheathed said wand, so at this point I'll probably just wield it in my off-hand and draw my sword with my primary. Don't need hands for my performance after all. :)

Also, while we shouldn't make too much of an effort of course, stablizing any downed Basatards would be a nice bonus when it is time for Shinon's pyre.

Shinon seems to be in a tight spot. Mayhap not drink the potion too quick until we can get the heat off of him.

Wow. We really slowed down today considering the big fight.

I was on most of yesterday but real life must have hit the players. It happens. I'm self employed so I have liberal access to the computer most the time.

I would like to finish this book this weekend, if possible. You all will be 4th level by the end. That is 1 level higher than the suggested AP level but the side adventures were tough. I'll adjust the AP accordingly to account for the higher PC level.

I have started attending my university full time (starting yesterday) and I will start working part-time as well next week. I will definitely still make 1-2 posts per day, but I will not be nearly as active as I have been over the summer.

In combat situations I may have you post 2 or 3 additional actions that I can maneuver into the situation. Lets see how it goes before it get to that though.

I post often cause I LOVE my smartphone and have this game in my favorites.
Sometimes I get sideways glances off the wife though....

I have a touch-screen phone, it drives me crazy trying to type posts from it, especially formatting the bold dialogue because I have to hit Symbol, then Shift for the [, then ABC and b, then symbol+Shift, then ], same for dice rolling, makes me so mad because if I miss one button I screw the whole thing up...

Samsung Nexus baby...

I have an Iphone and its terrible to post from. My wife would kill me if I posted from the phone if we were out.

I have maptools and herolab (my latest toy) set up one laptop at home and at my office. I carry a thumb drive of material with me which I often forget at the office.

I just have my computer, no portaphone. I have tried my parent's when I visited them and I hate that thing for attemptinng to type since my fumble fingers keep pressing the wrong ket and/or everything is so small

Hope you do well at Uni/Work Shinon

I'm a research scholar, so my time is mostly spent with my laptop and a pile of library books. If I'm out or at an audition, I DO sometimes post from my smartphone for this game, but yeah, it blows. The swype typing is so finicky and it takes me forever to type with all the tags. Whenever I type in an action that's only a dice expression, it's because I'm on my phone.

And yeah, I confess, I'm guilty of getting sideways glances for posting on date night... :/

Tinkering with Hero labs creating NPC's and assorted villians to incorporate into the game. I will say it makes random creations a lot easier.

Just waiting a little more for Duncan,Shinon and others. I want to make sure most of us can get inside before the round ends(Delaying I guess)

Pretty much all Android 4.0 phones are pretty sweet for internet typing.

Galaxy Nexus 4.6Inch
or
Samsung Galaxy 3 4.8 Inch

I'm not a big fan of the Iphone that I have...the keyboard stinks. I'll eventualy move out into something else.

As far as the game goes, I'm basically waiting for acitons to be taken.

Andrea did act in ROund 2. She moved behind Duncan and cast Shield of Faith on him. :)

Just a list of spell effects that are currently going

Bless on everyone
Inspire courage on everyone
Divine Power on Duncan
Shield of Faith on Duncan
Invisibility on Fiosa

I made the change in the game thread.

I wonder if my Dwarven resistance to spells and spell like abilities would apply to magical curses like mummy rot?

Nope.

I was hoping there was an avatar for basset or blood hound.

Or a French poodle with that pom-pom hair do

They have a poodle actually. The dog selections were limited which is surprising.

My work is semester based, and it just started today. Expect Monday through Thursdays to be lacking in post from me.

running out to dinner back later.

Perhaps Baldwin can do a quick summery that can be PM'd to John when he is out of what happened during the week

Group status:

Currently we have two members John and Shinon who are going to be spotty posting due to RL situations, such as: work and school. That happens. I'm fine with each posting when they can but I really want to maintain the pace we have as group. I'll GMPC if necessary.

That being said, I would like to add another player...I roguish type player. I am specifically looking for a additonal player who produce both quality and pace with their posts.

How about Duncan's friend if they are agreeable to Rogue?

Sunphoenix is set on a Fighter/mage.

I have others I can ask but none I could guarantee on pace...maybe open recruit on this?

Not many people like rogues and they are easily replicated.
Urban Ranger for example
Or seeker sorc.

Shinon already has Trapfinding so maybe just specify a min skills per level of say 5?
That way you get a skillful char and the player still has lots of choices.

Ask that they make sure to have the base rogue skills of..

Perception
Disable Device
Stealth

and so on
