GM Fnord's PFS First Steps (Inactive)
Game Master Aoth Anskuld

We have the map. Let's just follow it.

In terms of light, I'm shining my miner's lantern into the room as well.

Lantern, Miner’s: A smaller version of the bullseye lantern, a miner’s lantern provides normal light in a 30-foot cone and increases the light level by one step in the area beyond that, out to a 60-foot cone (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light). A miner’s lantern does not increase the light level in normal light or bright light. It burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil. A miner’s lantern comes with straps for attachment to a helmet or other piece of sturdy headgear, but it can also be carried in one hand.

... nothing like playing a human after so many elves/etc. to make one really think about light!

I usually end up buying an ioun torch, they're relatively cheap and require no hands.

Is the blindness round to round, or of lasting duration? If so Jory would use his trait to reroll his save.

I don't think I can answer that until someone can make a high enough (i.e. must be trained) knowledge(arcane) roll about the creature. You could be blind for 5 seconds, or you could be blind for the rest of your life, all you know is you walked in, and were blinded.

The maybe for the rest of your life makes the decision easy. Reroll in game thread to appear.
I assume new roll or SR6 didn't help.

Knowing what I know OOC I would have entered the room differently...but my character didn't have the information to know that he would be blinded just by looking at the creature.

Even Tiann, who was the only character in the room at the time, couldn't have warned the group because she passed her save.

Remember the notes on dungeoncrawls. Too many blind characters and we run screaming like school children in a fire drill to the nearest exit and hope our burned retinas heal over time :-).

Er. When did the creature blind me? I made my Fort save the first time, went with option 3 next time which precluded me from needing a save.

You are right, I was thinking of the wrong player. :) Go ahead and give me a DC15 will save in game...getting color sprayed is well worth getting this thing color sprayed.

Ice - Let me know when you're ready to start posting again, and I'll stop rushing actions for you and give you time to post for youself. Hope you feel better soon...

AC=14-2=12 (Don't I keep my wisdom bonus to AC?)

I'm on my phone now but check the monk armor rules, I believe you lose your Wis bonus any time you lose your dex bonus.

From the PRD

I wonder if I'm thinking of 3.5? In that case, it's a miss, and you are not paralyzed.

Looks like I'm not doing so hot today, I should have hit you with sneak attack damage as well, it's a good thing you kept your wisdom bonus. :)

No problem, one of the reason I am in the WIS is most important for Zen Archer Monk camp.
If you wish to use CMs, of course, WIS is not used :-( - a maneuvre master probably thinks differently.
Should have posted my ministats too.

I think I was right, the ghoul was a greater threat.

Since it was the last attack that paralyzed you, I think there's time for you to shout a request for Tiann to channel a heal before you got paralyzed.

Ghoul with rogue class levels = no joke

Ghoul with rogue class levels is about to regret existence. :)

I've heard some folks are still having problems accessing the paizo forums after their network upgrade. Don't know if that's anybody in this group though.

I'm just waiting on you guys to decide where to resume delving.

This is the first time I've been able to log on with something other than my phone since yesterday...but things seem pretty stable now.

Yeah. I was only able to access the site because I have way too many internet connections at my disposal. It appears to be fixed for my connection, though.

Same here; good now

I'll update the map and post in 4-5 hours.

Do our big hitters carry hammers or axes to throw? Might be good to get our best lick in.

Not I - just the Greatsword!

Javelins here

I wanna see Jake throw the sword

LOL! That would be something!

Is destroying web via strength check a standard action? I'd like to take a double move, destroying webbing as I go, with the understanding that I'd be moving at half speed once I get to the filled squares.

Strength check does not destroy web, it lets you move at half speed through it as difficult terrain.

20 move will get you to just west of Jory. You have enough movement for 2 10-cost moves through web after that, so roll 2 strength rolls to see if you make it through 0, 1, or 2 more squares.

The move and ready an attack is often a good option. You normally need to say what will trigger your attack. If you are an archer, a good example is -- as soon as one of those casters cast a spell, I pepper him (forcing a concentration roll).

i am finally back from spring break and vacation, sorry for the absence, I'll be reading along and post once I get a grasp of whats going on :)

Welcome back Ice!

Welcome back.

Hey, all. I'm going to be heading to Paris for Wednesday-Monday for a technical workshop. I might be able to post in the evenings and will try to do so, but I can make no guarantees. Please NPC Tiann if necessary. Two things to keep in mind: Tiann can stabilize a creature as a standard action with a touch and gets a +6 untyped bonus on concentration checks to cast spells defensively. Thanks!

And has a soft spot for impetuous, socially awkward dwarves when they fall on their face.

Jory's sketches need no translation :-)

We'll wait for Ice to catch up and put all the 'advice' the team is giving together in his next action. He will be getting an extra +8 on his diplomacy roll (so far).

Doh, Jory said to show him the pictures, now I have to draw new ones.

Conquest Day boon up on the blog.

Thanks Tal!

Woohoo, are we two out of two now?

There's a little bit of RP left that will determine what goes on chronicle sheets, so we won't call it quite done yet. :)

By the way guys, due to lack of time Ice will be bowing out of part 3.

Do you guys want me to try to recruit a replacement, or run with 5?

Ice, thank you for playing.

I think we can go with five.

I agree...five will work...thanks Ice!

I'm sorry to see Ice go...his timely Color Sprays were much appreciated!

It would be nice to have another arcane caster but I suppose we could press on without one. Of course I doubt we'd have a problem recruiting someone new.
