The only problem is your gear, since Acid Fog melts that too, and the -2 penalty to damage and to hit it inflicts.
I will not spare Jon writing a complete backstory for this pain in our collective butts. I want to know how he lived! How he lost his forbidden love, the golden gerbil to his rival the foul dark rabbit! As well as where he keeps his magically preserved secret recipe chocolate pesh cookies! Tell us all his secrets! xP
Hah. XD
Aibek wants to ask why whoever hates our characters so much since this seems so much more...personal than it did with Khaul where it seemed more business mixed with his own twisted amusement...though that would fit in with Nigrum's question. However, I do imagine to get any useful information we will need a djinn-style-clad question.
Entire backstory? Whoo. That might take a little while to write.
Making the perfect "wish" is not what we are doing here. You get one question. Not paragraph, not contract, not conditions attached to a question. You over think it and if it was me I would use that to keep my word and screw you out of information. Because that is what evil does when you make them think twice about being arrogant. If they were dumb they wouldn't be a pain in our butts or last very long now would they.
Anyways he already gave himself a condition without us placing one on him. By saying "in full" so no he can not just short change us without violating his own agreement. In which case we know he is lying if he does and their was no point in trying to "fool proof" the question to begin with.
Keep it simple with a good question, don't go down the rabbit hole of making a flawless question. If you mess up well we do have limited wish gems, just ask yourself if it's worth it to use one for a re-question. Or just pull his annoying self to our side where we can beat him sense less.
P.S. Be careful what you give PCs. ;)
Mostly, Azri just wants to troll him with a ridiculous question. XD
How is making him tell us about his awkward teenage years during his life story not trolling him? >:P
Why not just ask "What is the one thing you want us to know the least?"
"The thing I least want you to know is my true name. Good thing I don't have to tell you now. Ta-ta!"
That's why I favor the nuke option over the bullet. Overkill is highly underrated. ^.^
Yes, Aibek is overthinking it. That's how their character works - having survived severe and extensive horrors, Aibek overthinks as a coping mechanism. It's a well known element of anxiety and PTSD - in an attempt to prevent further disaster, people will twist themselves in trying to find ever possible risk to prevent it. It causes as many problems as it helps, that I am fully aware of. That's why - at the start on the boat - Aibek went on a long rant about hunting, they were overthinking the risks trying to prevent disaster.
Aibek likes Nigrum's question, they would like all possible information, they're overthinking (and overestimating) the potential pain caused because of their experience with those who have said similar. Though, I must point out 'In full' does really not mean 'in the way in which you intended'.
...and between Azri and Ayreth, I think Aibek's will likely be confused and their mind blown.
Just so everyone knows, Aibek and I will be heading to visit my parent's house for a week this Saturday. I'll be taking my laptop and phone, so I should have access to post. Whether I'll have the energy is entirely another matter.
I promise I'm not ignoring you guys. I'm just waiting to see when you guys are all done. It's been nice seeing Mihara, Ayreth and Aibek interact like this, so feel free to continue.
Work has been running me ragged so feel free to move on. I'll let you know when things lighten up, may the fates have mercy upon me. xP
I'm happy to move on to visiting the village.
I'm also okay with moving on.
Can someone refresh my memory as to why we're returning to that place?
Sick-father-dude said to return in one month and that if our characters didn't at least send a message by the end of this day, he would take that as our characters wanting no more to do with him/them in terms of trade or information or anything else. I think at least some of our characters said that we'd do it personally.
For Aibek, it's both to avoid insulting the Father because he's a well informed guy who might have some answers and he kept casually threatening people which means a careful watch and because Aibek wants to check on Teija and the others.
Thanks for the refresher.
So, when this game becomes a shonen anime (as is clearly its destiny), Aibek found it's opening theme - The Nexus by Amaranthe. Although Aibek prefers the Nightcored version.
This version particularly which has the lyrics on screen is my favourite version - very good for my stimming even when I've been very fatigued lately.
When I originally sent this version to Jon overexcitedly as it does feel like a Broken Towers anime theme song, he commented that it was like they'd been in his head.
Hah. XD
...
I'd watch it.
I'd write it.
...and did.
Honestly I am waiting as well. Touch attacks pretty much render Nigrum's defenses moot and so he can not charge in as usual. Not to mention he just loss half his hp in a single round from a single attack while under cover. His current thoughts are of retreat, you can't help anyone when your dead.
Would it help if I dropped some fog over them or something? Ranged attacks ain't much use when you can't see.
I would prefer if you had the ability to remove their firing pins and render their guns disabled long enough for me to smash them to parts before they could take said pins back. But yeah anything that forces melee works for Nigrum sense all they need is not to roll a nat 1 to hit most of the party with those things. Without getting close or something it's pretty much going to be a wipe if we don't retreat at this point I think.
I think Aibek has the right idea here. We fall back and force them to chase us into closed quarters.
Sorry for my absence, both the site and my job have been giving me problems. I'll try to catch up.
OK, so who is still here after the Great Paizo Bake Off?
I'm still around if sleep deprived.
Hooray! \owo/
OK, now we're back (again) and just waiting on Nigrum and Mihara. If the website doesn't implode again we'll move things along in a day or so.
OK, so due to the repetition of fire and being on the receiving end of a crit for the second time this fight, Nigrum has gone down. I'm aware, however, that this is at least partially because Nigrum has missed several rounds of combat due to various reasons.
How do you wanna play this, Nigrum? Do you want Nigrum to come through this, or would you prefer a new character?
It seems beside the site crashes, my games have not been updating ether. >.>
That said I think you want to recheck your math DM. As I would like to know where +115 comes from. ;)
Yeah, that should only be +15 rather than +115. It is still, sadly, enough to take Nigrum out due to three rounds of being shot and the previous crit.
How does everyone feel about Nigrum? Does he pull through or would you rather lay him to rest?
Well, personally, I like Nigrum. o wo And I feel like we definitely want a good front-liner. Ultimately, though, it's important to play what's fun.
Also, he's Hard To Kill, and isn't dead-dead until at least -36 HP, rather than -20. Plus, auto-stabilize. XD
True, I forgot about that little detail. So he's still alive. For a given value of alive, anyway.
I'm clearly far too used to the dice being too uncooperative to do such things.

I think some of us like crazy builds, so I'm just pointing out this recruitment thread.
Setting: Earth 1 billion years in the future.
CC: template, gestalt or crazy chassis construction, item or feat from 3.5 epic level handbook, very open to 3rd-party
That is interestingly weird, I'll take a peek.
Don't mind me, nothing to see here. ^.^
Rolling for my companion's HP. I can't gamble with the master.
Given that she's only got 13 strength, that's vaguely worrying. XD
So many strength checks in the future.
SO many.
