I'm here! I was bad over the weekend, totally forgetting about play-by-post. I usually find time to post at work, but we're scrambling doing cross-training because we're short-staffed. Can't complain about overtime pay!
Clearly this snake is a master of tactics.
The SSD in my computer that had Windows on it decided to brick yesterday. Will get an update up tonight.
Dotting for observation.
You guys are close to the solution for this puzzle. Keep working it out and I'm sure you'll get it.
So very close.
The only thing regarding my idea of which represents which that I can think of is the medusa might be wrong. Pretty sure the others are right, if that is indeed the solution.
Can Valghaz have some time to forge himself a suit of fullplate?
In the recruitment, I said Crafting would be handled as in the CRB. Looking at the crafting rules now, I see some problems.
Full plate costs 1,500 gp, so you would need to buy the materials at the cost of 500 gp. For crafting the full plate, you would make a Craft (armor) check and compare it to DC 19. If you succeed, you multiply your check by the DC, and the result is the amount of silver pieces towards the cost of the armor.
So if your check was 19 (take 10), your result would be 19 * 19 = 361 silver pieces towards the goal of 15,000 sp in the armor. This check represents one week's worth of work. Assuming you take 10 on your Craft checks, it would take approximately 42 weeks for you to craft the full plate. That's...rather excessive.
I think it would be better to say that each Craft check represents one day of work. That would instead take just over 41 days to make the full plate, which seems to me a much more reasonable amount of time.
I assume you'd approve this change, since it benefits you with no drawbacks (that I can see). However, you definitely will not have over a month of free time right now. I'd say that you could treat this kind of like magic item crafting, which allows you to craft at half-speed (so divide the sp result in half) when adventuring, presuming you have access to the forge.
Thoughts?
That does indeed seem much more reasonable. Thank you. If you don't mind I'll take 500gp out of my character sheet for the materials. Then when 41 days of 'downtime' have been completed, please tell me when it is ready.
I do like that idea better yes.
The CRB crafting rules seem broken. I encountered a similar problem with a Witch I'm playing in a face-to-face game. She could use Brew Potion feat to craft a CLW potion in a day but a mundane alchemical item like antitoxin would take weeks of work. Having the craft checks represent days rather than weeks seems like a fair way of fixing it and bringing mundane crafting more in line with magical item creation.
This conversation gave me an excuse to finally check-out the Unchained Craft rules. Unfortunately, they're no faster. :/
Chan, haven't seen you post in over 2 weeks. You still around?
Just a heads up, I'll be traveling interstate from today for the weekend so might not be able to post as frequently as usual. Hopefully it won't hold anything up but feel free to bot me in combat if you need to.
Lol, damn. OOC I love Elaina. IC Valghaz wants to throttle her.
She's quite the pill.
Elaina is a character you love to hate! XD
I love it!
It's loads of fun for us remote viewers too :)
Is PVP allowed GM?
Well, this should be interesting.
No PvP.
Will get a post up in the gameplay thread soon.
Yeah, it's great to see a narcissistic sociopath who's played as something other than an off the shelf randomly evil serial killer :)
Tis more complicated than that
Arenel, remind me how you have exotic weapon proficiency with the nine-section-whip? I'm looking but guess I'm missing something.
Unfortunately, I think we can safely conclude that Chan has dropped from the game.
She doesn't. That's why there is a -4 to her attack. She still isn't proficient with it.
I must admit that without any tokens on the map, I have no clear idea where anyone is. Hopefully my game post for the round will make some sense.
If you're not going to take any actions in combat, you need to let me know rather than just be silent, even if it's just something like "Not being able to see the combat, I will do nothing," otherwise I will bot you.
I've updated the post to reflect Valghaz and Arenel staying back.
Arenel: Thanks, totally missed the -4.
Updated the map with tokens to indicate positions.
Ah! Thank you! That changes things. I thought Mimi was still down by the door, basically Valghaz's position.
It's terribly difficult to figure out using splash weapons without being able to see exact positions.
Small alteration to Mimi's turn for this round.
Sorry about that, will do.
RIP Chan, Elaine's only friend =(
So an out of game explaination if needed. If I go ahead with the attack while Elaina remains in melee, I'll have to add the penalty to ranged attacks into melee without precise shot. That would take the attack roll down below 10, surely a miss. On a miss an adjacent square is hit instead. Even if not hers, Elaina would probably take splash damage.
As tasty as the idea of fragging Elaina, and the boost it would give Mimi's popularity, might be, I won't do that. :)
Elaina took a five foot step back so unless the zombies have step up or something there's five feet between her and the baddies.
It seems like that would allow for an attack with Elaina out of melee, but I'll leave that up to the GM. If he says yes, Mimi will make the throw.
She's really short. Just aim for the face.
Slow posting due to some overtime at work. Will get a post up soon.
Heads up:
I'm in the National Guard, field artillery. Because of a 'soldier shortage', I have apparently 'volunteered' for extra duty. As such I'll be away for training from May 22nd to June 13th. I know from experience that for roughly 1 week of that time I'll have no internet connection (being in the desert tends to do that). That said, I'll do all I can to remain as active as possible.
Good luck in the desert!
Thanks! :)
Paizo's servers are giving me hell the last few days. Will get a post up tonight.
I've noticed the same thing, hopefully they've sorted things out now.
Having to post from my phone because Paizo's servers won't take a post from my PC for some reason. Sorry for terse posts.
You have gained 1349 experience. Using fast experience track, that brings you to level 2!
Nice! Should we go ahead and level, or wait until we're back in town?
I will level when I get home from work in like, 8 and a half hours. It's just too difficult via phone.
Go ahead and level now.
