I'm waiting Duncan to make a perception check and group that is in that is in the private theater to tell me what they are doing.
Just checked my weapons.
Stupid.
I bought all my weapons with the opposite metal needed
War hammer/Bastard Sword should be Alchemical Silver
Battle Axe should be cold Iron
Gonna cost me 900 gold to sort that out.
The dwarf was confused with his metals. The question is do I want you to wait till after this module to correct the weapons. that would certainly make the upcoming battles more entertaining. It, also, give Gruum something to yak about.
Oh man, we still need our thief! If those traps are still there we won't be able to get through.
Something to remember for future missions, hit up the clerics for divinations/commune.
Whoa! Down boy!
What?!
DM Do you wanna wait for Lucrezia and John. I don't think they have any buff abilities.
Not sure if the Devil is gonna port in or smash the door but if we getanother round I'll take it.
Protection from evil prevents contact by summoned evil creatures.
Was it summoned or called?
Just some silliness here. :)
Duncan - you do not know if it was summoned or called, you say the remnants of a strong conjuration aura. What you deduced was Tweaker somehow triggered the device. Did he speak the creatures name and hence calling it forth or inadvertently set a chain of events forth that summoned the creature you don't know.
As far as waiting on Lucrezia and John, I would like to continue moving it forward today.
Mooo! Awake and ready. John might want to back up since the devil has the advantage on the steps(Only one can attack at a time IMO).
That is why I left it up to him and Duncan.
Off for lunch for a couple of hours. Andrea will no doubt be busy healing everyone so do that if things start moving.
Back and ready to go.
Finally got my internet back today. Trying to catch up on the game thread now. :)
Take you time, good to have you back, it was slow week.
It was such a long week for me. Very long drive, very poor cell reception during most of it. Some pretty scenery though and I got to see the Grand Canyon.
I'm pretty much locked down in Maine.
I think the closest I've been to Maine was Rhode Island.
So we just need John to start whacking
The devil though, not himself...
I'm in two minds.
Put PfE on Lucrezia or just start smashing the devil.
I think Lucrezia should start flanking
just start smashing your PfE isn't working for a variety of reasons. 1. He is not using natural weapons for his attack. 2. His base SR trumps your DC.
Both this round and last round he has missed me by less than 5.
If power attacking he needs to make saves vs my JARRING armor:
Opponents who swing too hard at this armor soon learn to regret it. The jarring shock that runs up the attacker’s arm as their weapon connects makes it feel as though they have just struck a wall.
Whenever an opponent with a melee weapon strikes at the wearer using the Power Attack feat and misses by 5 or fewer, he must make a Fortitude save or be sickened until the end of his next turn. The save DC is 10 plus the bonus that Power Attack would have applied to the damage roll if the attack been successful.
He wasn't power attacking, I rarely ever use PA. I don't look for the extra damage against PC's.
Would Orsin draw an AoO? Looking at the map makes it look like he is 5'stepping I belive. J,11 to I,12

The grid lines shouldn't be there, I'm looking at the printed lines on the actual map for the AP that is why the characters look a bit smaller. Otherwise, there are multiple PCs in the same hex. Sorry about the confusion.

Whoops. Looks like Grumm is going to be yelling at Duncan again. :)
Nah. How was Duncan to know GM doesn't use PA?

I like to challenge not kill PC's.
Off to work, so Andrea will keep using her CLW wand (43 charges) on hurt people or convert Zone of Truth into CMW(2d8+4) if someone really gets hurt
Is it worth Orsin using Aid another to boost John's to hit by another +2? ;)
This thing is rocking a high AC when me and John miss and we hit the hardest.
Ow. This is most certainly a 'On the timer' battle. We need to put it down before the CON drain finishes us off.
My hero! Charge my Shoanti Love God! Let me be your just reward!
It would be even rougher if this was a full strength Blood Reaver
2 points from me (14 to 12) so we need to do something like having Lucrezia trip it with her flail perhaps. No one has yet lost more than 2 COn I believe but we are approaching that point where HP loss will quickly exceed my ability to heal(Fortunatly, I am invisible)
I sparkle when I cast.
10 If Heal@Sparkle
20 If Invisible@Novisibleeffect

@Beast of War -I've applied a weakened template to the beast.
Duncan it's AC is the same as John's AC24.
Of course things would get very awkward with us running with a full power BR on our heels tearing up the mansion.
Um..The mission has hit a little snag Areal. The mansion? It isn't there any more.
Edit: This battle is something that shows how our 'Slug it out' style needs to be tweaked since critters are starting to show more special powers and resistances. Tripping, disarming and other manuvers might be worth looking at.
Aid another? Hmm..That doesn't sound too bad I dunno if Lucrezia wants to aid Duncan instead of giving up an attack.
Crap. Forgot about my tanglefoot bag. That may help next round.
For fans of the Half-Life games, there is a conversion called Black Mesa that redoes Half-Life 1 with a new engine, graphics and even some tweaks. Very awesome and worth checking out.
Posted in the in game thread before reading this one. Totally forgot I can trip with my flail, it's not a weapon I normally take with my characters. I'll have to try that out next round.
I enjoyed that little encounter.
Duncan as a DM I rarely use PA, I really don't like to use extra damage on the PCs especially at these levels of the game.
