Neat! I guess Grilnik will have to help Vors out with his new magic powers xD
@GM Nex: for the less well endowed among us, can we (eventually) train for more hp? :D
When I have played a cleric I have always limited my use of the Masterwork Transformation spell. that said if Bethany finds out you can do something like that she will probably spend a lot of time sucking up o you.

I don't have an issue with the concept, but good luck finding a martial training academy in this town. Not quite sure its that type of campaign. If it was longer form I would say go for it.
Fair enough xD
If we somehow get time and opportunity, Grilnik is going to want some of those missing 7 hpz :P
Due to an incredibly busy weekend filled with a Christmas celebration, two birthday parties, and many hospital visits, I will be unable to post from December the 16th through till December the 18th. My posting should resume as normal on Tuesday the 19th. Apologies if this slows down the game. Feel free to bot me as needed.
Thanks for understanding, and have a great weekend, guys.
you too!
lol, I'll take this as a: we all miss Brynn too much to go on before she's back xD
I think everyone is just busy enough right now.
The end of the year is a busy time.
I figure on the First I might jump in and get things going again, if it pauses that long. I hope people don't disappear.
But don't worry everyone! I am not going anywhere (other than my vacation later this week)
I will be on the board though out so whenever things pick up Bethany and Big Brother will be there.
Hey, guys! Happy to be back!
---
Also, on the topic of the holidays:
I'll be unavailable to post from December 22nd through to December 26th due to the holidays. I might be able to fit in a post here or there during that time, but I'm not sure. Holidays are busy around here. Posting should resume as normal by the 27th (or the 28th at the latest).
If it gets too crazy around here to mention it later this week, Happy Holidays to those of you who celebrate something! And have a great few days to those of you who don't!
And if you do decide to pause through to the first, no worries. Brynn won't abandon her looming payday. I mean--friends! Yes, friends! Definitely won't abandon them...
lol, I'll take this as a: we all miss Brynn too much to go on before she's back xD
Well, yeah, clearly! lol
I'll be able to post moderately during the holidays, but it might be sporadic at times.
BTW Bethany, since we spent a day shopping, you'll definitely have gotten healing by now :3
I am back from my mini vacation. I will go through and read through the current posts.
I figured we might not start in full force till after Christmas, but if everyone is here feel free to start up!
Merry Christmas! ^_^
Happy Holidays from the middle of New York to you all. We got about a foot of snow last night, looks amazing.
Merry Christmas!
Pretty late, Merry Christmas from Washington State! The great north wet got a bit of snow. My 4 month old's first Christmas was a white one!
You guys all sound so excited for snow! That's awesome! Haha.
For Christmas we got one of our coldest days of the year so far this winter. It was between -45 Celsius and -49 Celsius with the wind chill. That's.... -49 to -56 Fahrenheit? Admittedly, I was hoping for a heat wave and some sunshine, but no such luck!
Haha. Happy holidays, guys!
Well now that is serious cold. It's a balmy -3 here today so shorts weather by comparison.
So jealous. Haha.
I'm hoping it warms up a smidge so I can take my kids tobogganing tomorrow.
yay white snowy Christmas xD
too bad that never happens around where I live xD
remaining spells: Comprehend Languages, Ironbeard, Protection from Evil
Soo.... Sorry for the wall of Ooc, but I just realized we may have picked off more than we can Chew, this is easily a level 4 encounter and we are all level 2, so it is more than likely we'd either level up after, or shortly after this battle °-°
I forget that on more than one occasion Dire animals, even the weakest(the dire rat) are all capable of wiping a low level party if they don't strike fast and strike HARD.
if you can, ignore the smaller wolves and just unload on the dire wolf. The 37 HP should go fast if we all get good hits in, however I'm more than sure one if us will come out of this with some nasty scars, esspecialy since we didn't get good HP rolls.
But anyways, Dire wolves are normal wolves in pretty much any way other than the fact the dire wolf would have noticed us a while ago with it's +10 to perception and the scent ability letting it auto detect us within 30 ft, although since we are outside it's likely wind could be an issue, and I'm sure none of us smell like a troglodyte.
Also dire wolves are big. And honestly would make an awesome mount.
I responded in another ooc wall. I know this is rough.. I tried to be subtle about leading you elsewhere. Lots of knowledge boxes about how "scary" these are. I might have failed at expressing it fully.
I was very loose on the perception of the wolves. There are two rotting corpses right there making it harder to smell, and you are up wind, which was my reasoning. plus i kept you farther than 30 feet.
Agreed on focusing on the big one. The small wolves might not be up for such a fight... /hint
I am not too worried yet. Not going to play easy, but this is a "side quest". And if you keep going a bit and do well there are some sweet rewards.. so you guys do what you think is best. Not going to go for a tpk against a N creature...
No, I've had a lvl 2 player oneshot a lvl 4 enemy with a suprise attack round one.
Defeating a lvl 5 encounter in record time.
Literally it was a encounter they wherent ment to immediately go into attacking, but my party decided to send in knee if then to get their attention while the rogue got in place to take out the archers and the melee fighter who was a swashbuckler using a katana hid in a nearby bush. So he failed his stealth check, and in doing so he decided to jump out and try to use it to his Advantage. He got 19 on his Initiative, rolled a 20 to hit, 20 to confirm, and Max damage, effectively killing the bandit leader twice with one blow, which of course demoralized the other bandits who immediately gave up because their leader was down(and it said that they would anyways so the fact that he oneshot the leader was just perfect...)
It's all based on luck, and when that isn't enough it's skill.
I mean, as a wizard I'm not gonna roll crits often,(I can and when I do it's REALLY NASTY), but with the amount of damage dealers we have I'm more than sure we can incapacitate this wolf easily.
Yeah, we have both of our massive 2d6 hammers flanking the big wolf. I doubt he'll get 2 more attacks unless he gets a lucky crit or something.
Also, obligatory reference for the wolves:
Stop! It's Hammer Time!
Wow, I just checked those bonuses.
The dire wolf only needs an 11 to hit me... Or to trip me xD
Pfft! You worry too much, Verik. Brynn has faith in her awesomeness. She's going to pincushion this wolf and use it's head as a prop in her next show!
I cannot think of anything that Bethany would do beyond lure in and splat with a hammer. Darn dice have been against me for a few days now.
Still, I think we got this but the dice are god again hate me it seems. I do not think I have gotten above an 8 in my past 10 rolls on the boards.
Happy New Years! ^^
Yes, happy year of the new
Happy New Years to everyone!
Lol I just realized that I wouldn't be threatening the dire wolf if it had lived, oops xD
Hooray for moot points! XD
in regards to this post and the stats we keep handy at the top of every post:
Rage HP for unchained barbarians is +4 temp hp (and temp hp are lost first), so I suggest just slapping a +4 next to the current hp. (e.g. 30+4/30 or 3+4/30 etc)
For the other conditional modifiers, well...
Dwarves also have a bunch of conditional bonuses, so if you like my use of forward slash (\) to separate conditional bonuses, there's that.
Generally all of your headers are easy to read. I was just a bit confused as to rage stats.
Pathfinder has quite a few stats. I am usually willing to figure it out, just wanted to check to see if she was dying or still ok.

In case it matters:
Here I'm burning comprehend languages and ironbeard, keeping only Protection from Evil (and cantrips and (Sp) and (Su) abilities) for later...
Brynn - I noticed you only fired one arrow when you used Acid Splash. The believe Eldritch Archer gets a free attack just the same as a normal magus using Spell Combat / Spell Strike. You probably know that and did it on purpose but wanted to make sure.
Yes, when using spell combat and spell strike I get a total of two arrows fired, one of which delivers an acid splash. I did that my first two turns. But spell combat is a full round action. The last time I attacked I used a move action to change my position and circled around the bush. I couldn't use spell combat that turn. Instead I used spell strike to deliver acid splash with an arrow as a standard action.
So, just like the wolf fight, this one is pretty hard for your level. I still think you all can do it.
I don't plan on playing easy, but I am not going to TRY to TPK the party.
Anything special you have, now is the time to blow it all. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.. We can meta this a bit. It is a "side" quest after all.
Brynn - Sorry I didn't look back. Had to research the topic the other day so it was on my mind.

No worries. I don't mind rules questions and clarifications at all. Everyone misses things sometimes!
Same.
XD
earlier I decided to double check that the +1 (morale bonus) from Bless stacks with unchained barbarian's rage bonus (untyped)
Hmm... Something tells me that we're dealing with the Feindish template...
I don't know, if I had cast magic weapon on Bethany's earthbreaker before this she would probably be the best bet.
Can we have that off screen? After all, magic weapon would last 2 hours after I cast it.
I don't mind having you cast Magic weapon. 2 hours is a long enough time that you might have cast it before hand anyway. Knowing you will encounter a few monsters, likely.
So lets say its pre-cast on Bethany's weapon of choice.
Great, that makes her weapon(her choice) count as magic and also have a +1 to attack and damage

Would it ever be anything but 'big brother' (earthbreaker)? Sounds great.
I am starting up a Starfinder Dead Suns AP game. Link
I have enjoyed DM you all, so I wanted to throw out invites to create characters if you are interested.
Don't worry it wont affect this game's flow :)
Yes please!
Question for current combat:
If you can answer this does the purple liquid create a hazard that needs to be avoided or is it flavor?
