Thanks again, Zaia! I really thought I was a goner that time!
Not a problem, Wymond. :) Wish I could have rolled better for more hp. I'm trying to conserve Zaia's healing as best as possible but you guys get whacked hard consistently - can't wait for your LoH ability on level 2 - it'll help!
Yep. The first level's always the trickiest. But we've been pretty clever so far, I think. :)
If I'm shot by more arrows as I advance to the door, I'm going to be one sad pandadin.
Fingers crossed, ladies, NBs and gentlemen!
Eh, I knew that wasn't gonna work. Wymond just isn't sneaky.
Maybe we opened the door on a group of deaf and blind goblins. Deaf and blind goblins who love giving strangers gold!
By the way, congratulations. You have gotten much further into the Emerald Spire than I did on three tries.
Not that anyone died, mind you. The GM's kept disappearing.
Thanks, GM! And thanks for the punt in the rear to keep us going. You reminded us that fortune favors the brave! ;)
Once we get some more gold, I'm gonna follow your advice and pick up a sword and shield to boost my AC for the time being...and I think I'll swap out Wymond's old woodcutting greataxe for a bardiche. Chopping power coupled with reach should make things a tad easier, right?
A bardiche is a two-handed weapon, though. Hard to do with a shield unless you gain three levels of fighter (phalanx soldier).
There's also the Shield Brace feat from Armor Master's Handbook, but I wasn't saying I was gonna use them BOTH at the same time. Once I can afford half-plate armor or something I'll switch to using two-handers full time. Going sword-and-board with heavy armor at the same time, while iconic and knightly, increase your AC to the point that enemies will give up on trying to hit you and go after the weaker party members. That was the rationale behind Wymond's build to begin with, it's just that he doesn't HAVE proper heavy armor yet.
Oh don't worry. I'll never give up trying to hit you. :-)
Is there a reason why Triath's token on the map is so enlarged? Shall I reduce it down to normal?
Heh. Someone probably didn't know they'd done that. I've fixed it.
Yes, feel free to fix obvious flubs when you see them. :-)
Never thought the PALADIN would be the one to take this into dark comedy territory!
How many torches do we have left?
This weekend (starting tomorrow for me) I'll be out of town on important family business. I'll be back on my Sunday afternoon and I'll try to post then. If Zaia is needed to act before I return, GM please bot her. Please note: She only has one Channel Energy remaining for the day.
Here's hoping all is well, Zaia. Have a good weekend!
I'm doomed, aren't I?
A) You can flee the other way.
B) Nothing says you have to take point in a fight. Yirrik is also a warrior.
Yeah, but fighting's what I'm FOR...isn't it? Did I make a mistake?
Fleeing seems like a plan at this stage and with so little healing remaining this day makes sense. Just my 2 cents worth.
I thought we had barricaded both doors. Did we not barricade the Western door?
Yes, but I guess we need to remove the rubble before it. But I thought the goblins were on the other side of that door, threatening to smoke us out/burn us alive?
Looks like the only action has been from the Eastern(down) door so far.
Okay, thanks for clarifying as I wasn't sure and kind of lost track of which doors were what to be honest.
So, yes, the other door has rubble before it so we'd have to move it out of the way so we can flee. A good hefty push of the rubble could do it, perhaps?
I've got one more spell I can throw today and then I'm slinging it. I think we're taking at least one round of getting beat on, if the damage isn't focused on only one of us, and maybe through some luck, we might get out the door. The same might also be said about trying to fight them off. I'm honestly torn between 'No guts, no glory' and 'discretion is the better part of valor'.
Zaia will do what she can to help. But she's more the latter 'discretion is the better part of valor'. ;)
*sigh* I suppose such a result is to be expected while trying to move rubble with one hand.
Just to clarify, I believe Wymond had full hit points prior to being hit by the arrow just now.
In THIS POST, Zaia healed him up.
Yirrik, Wymond, please amend your status lines accordingly.
That changes everything!
Get 'em big guy
HOT DAWG!
Holy crap we might actually win this!
Just gotta have a little faith... says the Sorcerer to the Paladin.
Hey, Wymond's only a n00b paladin! :P
Tomorrow's going to be an extremely busy day for me and I'll be out of town for half the day. I'll try to post in my evening when I'm back home. Hopefully Yirrik will have his post up by then. ;)
Thanks for letting us know! I'll be botting Yirrik later today if he doesn't beat me to it.
I did beat you to it, but just checked and my post isnt there... Sigh....reposting
Holy crap we might actually win this fight! Alive!
I'll get a post up late tomorrow afternoon as I'm out of town in an effort to recuperate (and wifi is spotty). Sorry for the hold up.
Feel better, Zaia!
Thanks, GM. I'm getting there. :)
How is it that we manage to fail almost every dice roll that comes our way except for the occasional crit?! HOW?!
Hate to waste the bit of luck but I think it better if I dismiss grease this turn instead of tossing the alch fire. It's doing us more harm than good right now.
Perfire, you have Guidance on you and it lasts a minute or until it's discharged. So, it won't go to waste.
You have the Alchemist's Fire to use later. I'm okay with dismissing the grease spell on your next turn since Clanky is dead or close to it.
Right you are, makes that choice a lot easier.
I was at a funeral today. It's late now and I'm back home. I'll make a post tomorrow.
Okay, Zaia! See you then.
