Hephaistos Raising... An Iron Gods thread

Game Master Helikon

I'm fine with just narrating the temple.

Sooooo how long does it take us to get there? Or do we need more checks?

Hey Helikon, can you remove me from being active in this campaign? Messaged you about it (And why I was missing for a week), and you apparently have either not gotten my messages, not read 'em, or are ignoring 'em.

For the others curious, I was missing because I had family issues to take care of - I had posted as such in all my other campaigns, but for some reason I missed this one when posting. By the time I figured out the mistake, it was too late and you guys had replaced meh XD

Sorry Okrin.

Will do. But how do you remove you. I do not find a button to do so!

Campaign Info tab, "Edit Campaign", and then scroll down to active players, and uncheck my name.

Is there someplace that we are using for maps? I got the impression of such but can't figure out where. Can anyone provide me a link to it if so please?

this is the link that Helikon posted when we first landed on the beach. Like I said I just put it in my 'favorite' column so I would have it close by.

Ah, completely missed seeing the link, thank you. I'll have to pay better attention now.

@ Kimos, are you OK moving your icon or would you like someone to do so? I know sometimes there may be tech issues. RH

Seems I forgot to move it, should be good now.

I’m not blocking the tunnel I’m defending it! Those who cannot see move back those who can see come up and deal with this thing! When your ready I will move away.

I should be able to delay if necessary, then use total defense and move back 5 ft. right? Has everyone rolled initiative?

I was hoping to move back 5 ft. without dropping total defense, then Kimos could have attack without the -4, that's why I was waiting for Tamoq or Korba to move back.

If we want to coordinate our attacks better should we do that here in the discussion board or using ooc on the game board? Or am I over thinking it?

speaking of over thinking it: standing up would give one aoo, moving more than 5 ft. would give a second aoo, so crawling out seemed the best option, with only one aoo at 11 instead of two :)

Its one aoe usually anyway with just one beasty.

oops, good to know, though I have to admit Kunala crawling away and getting bitten in the rear end for his troubles seems really funny to me.

Just thought of something I wanted to check on. With wands, since I can cast cure spells as though I was a cleric of my arcanist level, will that count towards having it on my "spell list" for purposes of using a wand of cure. I would accept that I would have to use an arcane point to do it, but it would save me a spell per day and stretch out my ability to heal.

Huh, interesing corner case. Since it says "as if it were on her spell list" then yes, I'd say you should be able to spend an arcane point to cast from a wand of CLW. However, if you'd prefer, Tamoq can cast from your wand and you can save your arcane points instead. And for the long-run, you'd be better off putting some points in Use Magic Device so that you can just attempt to cast it outside of combat until you succeed.

Oh, I don't have a wand currently, and I do have ranks in UMD, but if I count as it on the spell list it will be easier at low levels because I won't have to roll to use it, if I understand wands correctly, not used to having them available.

Eventually it won't be a problem at all, but for now, just trying to think ahead.

Unfort you do not have Cure on your spell list. You can cast it. So you have to umd CLW. Had the same idea with my incarnist.

k, kinda figured, but thought that it was worth asking.

Raffinyaler can use CLW wands without a UMD check, so we've two in the party capable of it if needed.

Speaking of wands and such, Helikon what is your policy on us taking crafting feats? It's obviously something that's a few levels away, but it helps to know early.

Good question, was going to ask about that when it would matter more.

You will always have time to make wand, scrolls and potions. Apart from that. I haven´t read the other books, suprise, but I have the feeling you will have the chance to walk the crafting way. I will also try to give you always a week or so to make things.

time to make things always makes one with the Gunsmithing feat happy :)

@ team: do you want me to track items we find on a spread sheet. Or, do we each want to keep track of what we find or are carrying? Or something else? If you have an idea throw it out there and lets see if it sticks ;)

If you want to keep track of items by all means. I got no problem with it. :)

I've started a spoiler on Kunala's page called group items, as we use items or sell them they can come off, If anyone wants to do something different please let me know,

Fine with me Kunala.

So who besides Kimos is awake again?

only you and Elasbeth made your Fort. rolls. So, Kunala, Raffinyaler and Tamoq (and Korba} are unconscious. Though Helikon said we would only get 1 point damage per day (whew)

edit: if Elasbeth's actions and your actions happened ie. grabbing people as you left the room, Kunala should be the only one left in the cold. I don't know how all that is going to be handled though.

One Thing.
Healing Potions are always golden and usually have a rune of healing on the flasks. The purer the tone, the stronger the potion. CLW are light golden, CMW a bit more and CSW Potions have a rich golden tone.
It is frowned upon to poison them, only the vilest persons would do so, as this is supposed to bring the Curse of Saranrae on the person.

Well, hopefully the pitiful amount of healing I did to the two of them will get them up and functioning at least.

Least they each got 2 points lethal and non-lethal healed.

Ummm... I think someone messed with the cave map...just saying

Sad.... its a game of trust. But not crucial.

Well unless I am missing something. The map can be seen by anyone with the link and sense the link is publicly posted. We are not the only ones that can change things. So may not even be anyone from this game that did that. Regardless we are not in combat and don't know where our funny looking friend is taking us so nothing spoiled right.

Nope to combat and nope to spoiled. No secret doors here anyway. And the fun is in the story!
He will wave you forward to follow him.

Just out of curiosity do we want a default marching order?

@Kimos I have a minor problem. Slashing grace does not work with the wakazashi. Wakazashi is a light weapon, not a one-handed. Did you ask me to houserule it? Because I already houseruled your heirloom weapon.

Weapon finnesse is a prerequisite only rapier is a one handed weapon among the weapons listed. I think they meant single handed weapons not the weapons only in the one handed category. Honestly I don't know why they use Long sword as an example as it does not qualify. But anyways your the DM.

Yeah technically it doesn't work, unfortunately.

I would have let it be if I had not read that it was meant by the developpers for swashbucklers and duelists. There are 2 weapons slashing grace works perfectly on the list. One is the whip, the other the aldori dueling swords.
While I love the rule of cool, I do also like the RoI.
You can of course change Kimos quite a bit and I would like to work something out that it is still an enjoyable char for you. Take your time, we will find a solution.

Change over to rapier and everything is the same. Slashing changes to fencing feat wise and that's it. Unless I am missing something.

edit: this is all very confusing to me but I decided to keep my nose out of it :)

You start at the wrong point. RoI the feat was meant that swashbucklers can use all their abilities for example with a longsword. And it does exactly that. You treat a longsword (onehandedslashing weapon) as piercing and NOW you can finess it. Or a battleaxe.

So do I switch?

Been crazy at work and with school so finally have some time. Will make the changes to Kimos in a bit.

No hassle. You can rebuild him as long as you stay with the creation guidelines. Following the discussion about SG still.

I'm performing a wedding this weekend, so please don't expect me to post or read. Be back Sunday evening.

@ Raffinyaler, first, I hope the wedding went well.

second, (back to the game) obviously we can see the other tunnel on the map; if sku-pags informs us of the other tunnel, if Elasbeth knows how to kill the mold, if we can kill the mold,if we can get the body without freezing ourselves, if we have time to do it, if, if ,if,... I thought it might be worth a try; first, because Kunala is greedy, second, he realizes they might need to buy more gear and lastly he wants to show Kimos that the team is not utterly helpless with out him. He thinks Kimos would respect actions more than he would just talking about it

Oh Kimos does not think the team is helpless without him. But I will admit Kunala is going to have to work real hard to go up from butt bait status. Honestly man of all the places you could have gotten attacked that one is a hard one to live down. xP

Btw just a bit of warning for when everyone gets back to town. Kimos is not doing a 360 or has any sort of mental flipside. I will not say more then that. ^.^
