....absolutely nothing, apparently, I somehow missed your action. O_o
Sorry about that. I'll give Javi until later tonight to tag, then will GMPC if not.
Eben TheQuiet |
So sorry, guys. My Paizo time is more or less gone right now. Too much RL transition and busyness. Do whatever you need to keep the game going. I don't want to quit the game, but don't have a clue what the next few months are going to look like.
Again, so sorry. And I hate that this happened right as we got into the pyramids. :/
GM Dien |
Sorry to hear that, Javi. :( We don't want to lose you. I'll run Javi as needed for now.
Javi the Wasp |
i just almost beat you to getting a javi post up yesterday. I began writing it, refreshed the page, and you had posted (luckily, it was the same actions as I was taking ... surprise surprise).
Javi the Wasp |
I can certainly do that. Can I toss powder that far?
GM Dien |
Ha, sorry for the jinxies!
Powder has no listed range increment, so I'm gonna say it's a 10' range increment. Meaning, yes, you can certainly throw it that far, just don't roll a nat 1, etc.
Shaggar |
If that dude is still alive...
First, I crap my pants.
Second, I throw each of the other characters at the monster and RUN screaming like a little girl-gnoll.
Third, I call in an airstrike and nuke the entire site from orbit.

Now would be the moment where Javi throws the powder, rolls a nat 1 and Shaggar ends up with a faceful of flour. :)
This my first time playing a Ranger in quite some time... and I am impressed. The crits rolls are awesome - obviously - but the mechanics of the class are pretty stinking strong aside from that.

Apologies for the delay people - last couple of days have been really busy with job hunting.
On a side note, I will be travelling tomorrow with the family, and until about midday Tuesday - internet access will be limited to phone, so posting will probably be irregular.
But I will still post today ;)
Javi the Wasp |
So, i'm fairly certain i know the answer to this question, but if Javi reverses his grip on his scimitar (making it an improvised club, basically), does he still get the benefit of the weapon's magical enhancement? How about the Dervish feat (the dex to damage thing)?
dien RPG Superstar 2015 Top 16 |
I'm-a say 'no', mostly.
a) If you use your scimitar as an improv. club, I'd grant the -4 penalty for attacking with an improvised weapon, though the bonus of the weapon itself would still apply;
b) I'm-a say 'no' to that. The feat description for Dervish Dance talks about how the feat lets you treat it as a one-handed piercing weapon in terms of it being a prereq for other things, and while that's not a flat-out "HEY IT HAS TO BE A PIERCING TO USE THIS COOL ABILITY", I'm going to rule it as such.
Javi the Wasp |
Abut that previous post (that I never responded to) ... gotcha. It's what I expected, but I figured it was worth asking.
In other news, though ...
Just a general heads up, my wife and I are in the thirty day window of our third child's expected delivery date. Basically, she could come any day now.
I'll do my best to keep you guys updated, and I'll even do my best to be able to make a brief post every now and then in the week or two after the delivery, but my time and priority will obviously be with the wife and kiddos.
Consider yourselves warned. :)
GM Dien |
You'll have to tell us when the newest wasp arrives. ;) (she said, belatedly)
I'm losing hope we'll get Alice/Rosalia back with us, unfortunately. :( I hope she's alright; we normally talked a good deal via chat, but I haven't heard anything from her for about 2 weeks.
I don't particularly want to have to GM a PC for the entire rest of the campaign, though. For now, I'll keep running Rosalia, but if I come across some point where I can organically stick her to the side in the story, I may do so.
Javi the Wasp |
Hmmm ... that's no good. Hope everything's alright with her. If she remains gone much longer, we can figure out what to do.
... though clearly simply merging her with Javi is the best idea. JAVI THE MAGI-WASP OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!11ONE!1!!!!11
Heldar |
Guys, I want to apologize for a crappy quality and rate of posting these last days - going into my 8th straight day of work today... Still will try and post later on.
Javi the Wasp |
If people cant' get a post in today, I'll likely have Javi sneak in there and begin the scouting ... just for proactivity. :)
GM Dien |
Works for me, Javi. I'll throw in a post from Rosalia. I think everyone's getting slammed by work/life/trips, all at the same time.
Javi the Wasp |
Yep. and likely once everyone gets more time, my little girl will come and knock me out of commission. Cause thats how things work.

Hello people,
Wanted to let you know I am going on a few days vacations with my family this Sunday, and will only be back on next Friday.
I am supposed to have wifi coverage, and will most likely be able to check the boards, but my posting will surely be spotty, if any.
Feel free to bot me as needed to keep the game moving ;)
Lyrian Arkwright |
Sorry. Gone from plenty of time to two kids and two jobs. I haven't been home before 11 pm this week. I'll try to keep up, but Dien, feel free to not me at your convenience.
Lyrian Arkwright |
Hey, I want to be a good team member, so if you guys don't want Lyrian to call these guy's bluff by going all Ace Ventura on them just yet, now's the time to say so.
Heldar |
Babies are like that - they tend to... Absorb some of one's time. Just some ;)
I don't think I extended my congrats to the new Dad yeat so... CONGRATS! :D
GM Dien |
Hey guys, just a heads-up that I'll be at Pacificon from the 29th through the 1st. I will check the boards each night, but I'm guessing my time and energy to actually post will be minimal. I can probably squeeze in answers to questions, though, if needed.
GM Dien |
I am home! But I am very tired, and also having computer issues. I will post tomorrow if my computer will cooperate.
Clocked 40 hours of PFS all told. Got to open a hungry pit under Tancred Desimire's feet, which was immense fun even if he teleported out of it a round later.
Javi the Wasp |
SWEET! (who's that?)
... and welcome back. :)
Heldar |
40 hours of PFS is quite impressive - I hope it was as enjoyable as it sounds Dien. Dang, you do manage to get to a lot of those events - lucky...
GM Dien |
Tancred is SPOILER REDACTE0D who SPOILER REDACTED back in SPOILER REDACTED. ;)
(He's a recurring NPC/villain in some Pathfinder Society scenarios.)
It was a lot of fun, but definitely tiring. I ended the con on a high note where my druid got to be really useful, so I got to do my three-hour drive home with the taste of victory in my mouth, at least. :D
These have actually been the first two cons I've been at that were big enough to merit the name.

Hey guys! I forgot to point it out at the time, but 5 days ago we hit the 1-year mark for this campaign.
I re-read a bunch of it last night, intending just to look up some details, and got caught up in the narration again-- you guys have told a really great story, and it's been a pleasure to GM it and to experience it.
The only unfortunate part for me has been losing Alice/Rosalia, but wow, this has just been such a great, fun group of players, with so much funny, clever writing. I'm proud to be your GM, and proud we've kept up such momentum and regular posting. Y'all rock. :)
