I'll take a look at that postimage later. Thanks.
Nope. The professors library is solely for researching the whispering way. But you are free to do Knowledge rolls for The Harrowstone as well. Just only once and without bonus. You might know that stuff on your own.
The Harrowstone is Knowledge(History or Local) you may roll both, but you need at least one rank in the skills rolled to get to the interesting results.
Good morning.
Alas good night for me.
But before I go ai just had to share:
Just got home from running my home game. As I was cleaning up, and heading home I got the joy of listening to my players discuss for 45 minutes what they thought was going on and how it all fit together. (They have figured a good bit out, but some major prices they can't figure out how they fit) And in that whole conversation I never had to say a word.
It was still raging 20 minutes after I left with a group of players standing out on a dark driveway.
To see players invested and enjoying the story of a game in a way that hasn't happened in years: That right there makes all the work of being a DM worth while.
That's pretty cool.
I thought Kendra and the others hadn't arrived yet? Don't think we woulda brought that up around her. Other than that we would probably wait till the rest of the group get there before deciding what to do next I think.
Brother Varsk thanks the Father again and then leads whoever is left back to the Lorrimor house. As he walks he tries to keep the conversation light and offers a respectful but sunny presence to any the group passes on the road.
All are back.
Oops! Oh right.
Ah, see I thought they were still on the road since I didn't see any mention of them arriving at the house. But no worries. We're just the worst guests. *facepalm*
Happens all the time ;)
Necromancers get such a bad rap when all they wanna do is give everyone a second chance at life. And enslavement. Is that so much to ask for?
Just a note, since I now have Infusion, list for buffs and such.
1. Cure Light Wounds,Shield,Enlarge Person,True Strike,Ant Haul,Targeted Bomb Admixture
Note: I'm on 12 hour shifts for Production support from work for the next few weeks. We just had a major deployment that we put in over the weekend, and there are a few major issues that need to be addressed. Until things settle down, I'm probably not going to have time to post anything for most of the day. So while I'll continue to post when I can, expect it to be once a day for a while.
Feel free to bot Brother Grergof in combat if needed.
You can probably guess what he does most of the time.
Give his share of treasure to the party?
only the nice party members.
Still here, just blah atm. Felt sorta sick.
Give his share of treasure to the party?
What treasure? Skeletons have broken sabres at best and incorporeal undead also have no pockets :P
5 silver says the Warden was evil.

Our motto will be 'No copper left behind!' We'll sell the stones of Harrowstone to masons, pry the nails from doors for scrap and the wood for lumber!
We'll steal the shoes of orcs and goblin's horsechoppers! I'm sure we can sell skeleton bones to cooks for stock!
There are better ways than that.
You be nice to your GM and add a spoilered wish list to the bottom of your character profile. Horse choppers and dog slicers are only for those on the naughty list.
Do we find anything like a trampled trail by the river or should I head back to town?
If you find something depends on how you search. I assumed you wait for an answer as you asked that your companions.
Survival is the appropriate skill for that.
I'm always nice to the GM, and I'll see Lucy's 5gp that the Warden was the good guy. :)
Woah, what do you think you're doing multiplying my bet by 10. I'm not that confident.
Okay okay. 1gp then ;)
Once that is resolved and proven beyond doubt you can afford 5 gold.
Back to 5gp then :)
Ok. Bet quote 1:10. 5 silver for Darius if the warden is good and 5 gold for Lucy if he is bad.
I approve of this arrangement.
Haha. Fine :P

It is a straight 1d6 for a level 2 cleric. Yea, Channeling to harm undead gets really bad as levels go up. The channel targets the will save which is often the strong save, plus stronger undead get Channel Resistance to boost their will save and this is before anything from levels and items. So even 6 points of damage on a good roll can get shaved down to 3 points which is scratch damage against anything other than the weakest undead.

That's why he has sun and glory. You get cleric level on damage and +2 on DC and undead may not add their channel resistance on the will save.
Also it is best agains groups of undead as it is an area effect. Even his 1d6 channel would erase all skeletons in 16.6% of the cases (on rolling a 6) and down to rolling a 2 ( 83.3%) he'd have a 55% chance (Skeletons save on a 12) to kill them. Which means Skeleton kill over a rather large area with a chance of roundabout 63% of instant kill. And the rest is down to half hit points at least.
The barbarian can hack through that group of skeletons for quite a while. And even he has a miss chance that is rather big at 1st level against AC16.
Only thing that comes to mind that is comparable is burning hands which is 2d4 at 2nd level. You're aiming at reflex but with less average damage (in case of sun domain) and much smaller area of effect.
At low levels channel energy is a really strong thing. At higher levels it looses against fireball which has the double number of dice. But until then it is hard to beat against groups of undead.
Vs. single undead it might be better in damage to 'heal' them with CLW. But you would have to hit first with a touch attack.
As you see I'm bored. I'm doing damage statistics already.
Busy today, bot of needed. It's my birthday.
Haha I'm not great with numbers but it makes sense. Also Channel can be used for others things later so against a single undead I might be able to Smite them with a melee attack, if i get the right feat or ability or something right?
Oh and happy birthday! Hope it's an awesome one!

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Aada!
Happy birthday to you!
Some additional information about haunts:
1. They are a pain in your behind.
2. They respawn just like real ghosts.
3. They have something they need accomplished to put them to rest
Beyond that it becomes murky at best.
A haunt reduced to 0HP becomes a rattling haunt until it respawns and you could try to communicate with the haunt getting it to rattle once for yes and twice for no and then asks questions until you find out what it wants.
This is stupid at the table and unmanageable in pbp as it would take weeks to find out what a haunt wants.
Here it will be different. I thought about telling you, but I think it's more fun to let you find out.
FYI:
You can take 20 on unlocking doors. It wouldn't help in this case. But just so that you know.
I agree, the whole nock for yes no is fun once. After that... well it's just a pain at the table.
At this point I have house ruled haunts so that they normally give the player, that is most affected by the haunt, a brief cut scene or emotion clue to tell them what the haunt wants out of the encounter. (Affected = Someone possessed by it, who "kills" it, etc.) The clues are normally general enough that they point the party in the right direction, but they still need to either talk to it or encounter it a few times to really figure out what exactly they need to do.
Plus the cut scenes allow me to show backstory that might be hard to figure out otherwise...
Hey, you should figure that out in gameplay :P
It seems the good solution is obvoius. It's a shame it didn't make it into the book.
PFS tries to do a bit with haunts at times. Really depends how you sell it. If it's just "rocks fall, everyone dies" sort of thing, t can be pretty difficult, but adding detail and just enough info can lead to figuring everything out and add to the roleplay.
So is it just the one door in this room? And the evil Gergof is feeling is behind that if I understand right?
You're on the western balcony outside of the building. There is one door in, but you can't open it.
There are barred windows along the wall and behind one of these windows is the specific evil Grergof detected. And as of now you know of no way to get there. You could take a closer look. Windows allow for that.
Sweet!
