All we can do now is support our aunt & cousin.
I wonder why Smaar's boy tried to go over the wall. I don't think this is something we could have predicted right?
No, I didn't give any clues. I just took a scripted event from the module and added some extra drama to it.
I hope we get to save this kid, you two catch my drift :/
My apologies on the tardy post...its testing time here at school so I'll be REALLY busy for the next 2 weeks.
Hey don't sweat it, we all have stuff happen to us at some points.
I really don't like the vagaries of the invisibility spell. I'd rather it was just worded
Any actions other than move actions have a 50% chance of ending the spell. Period. Easy to understand, easy to make rulings on.
If 50% is too low, then 75% or 80% or 65% whatever...
Are we allowed to cast a spell without losing invisibility if it doesn't harm the targets? Aka, no summons, grease or direct damage spells, but spells like Create Water, Ghost Sound, Silent Image etc. More like distraction spells.
Yes. However spellcasting might tip them off that someone is nearby...
Basically any spell that directly harms/interferes with the enemy will drop invis.
illusions, summons are fair game.
So what to do next? The obvious thing is to see if there are any other ways in. For example if one of us can climb up to the roof assuming there is a skylight.
Otherwise tailgating or somehow finding out what the password is.
Depending on how long the invisibility works, we could check specific rooms. Suggesting barracks, officer's quarters, the study, for potential places to find the password.
You guys do have three captives right?
Stashed away as far as i know.
We could question them I suppose.
Them -1 i reckon, on account of plausible answers.
Ok, so the rest of this module is basically a dungeon crawl. After which you guys will level to 7.
Out of curiosity did you anticipate our second floor entry?
Players do the most unexpected things, i wouldn't be surprised if he'd actually say yes.
Yeah, the module lists it as one way to enter the keep. However the module assumes that you guys would have spent ALOT more time in town gathering information. You guys missed out on a bunch of clues/info that would have made entering the keep a little easier.
I did NOT expect the Baron Almir fight...Although I did change his role from the published module.
I've been sick for the past few day, I've been trying to stay on top of things, but I apologize if I've slowed things down.
OK Here's what I think we should do (feel free to chip in with any suggestions):
1. Silas and Hecktor stand either side of the door with readied actions
2. Anyone steps through gets readied actions plus full attacks from Silas & Hecktor (that should hurt).
3. Assuming we kill Blacklock we need to deal with Almir. He is clearly flying, we can't engage him in that corridor. Silas will try to piss him off and goad him into attacking us inside that room.
I don't want to try anything more complex than that, since stuff can and will go wrong ;)
Thanks for boting me! I've slept most of the day and drank roughly two gallons of gatorade. While I'm feeling better, I'm still not anywhere close to coherent.
Well guys, i'd like to hack Blacklock apart, but Almir's right there to fry any of us.
Opinions?
What do you think Almir will do to you if you stand behind that doorway?
He does have ranged spells...
True...the classic fireball i reckon.
Thanks for the image niles....
Good thing is, Blacklock should have dropped his weapon due to his Stunned condition. Unless of course he has that sort of gauntlet which fixes his weapon for him.
I'm alive! Today is the first day I like a human again.
Thank you for doing an excellent job botting me, Niles.
I'd like to remind everyone of the posting expectations for this game.
One post per 24 hour period is the minimum posting I'll accept. If you have personal issues that prohibit you posting (like Jaxom's illness) that happens, but if not please post at least once a day so we can keep the game moving.
Also, I'd appreciate it if your posts included some sort of action that moved things along...
(Check a door, ask a question of an npc, walk in a direction, cast a spell...that sort of thing.)
Understood. I've been particularly bad in scheduling my time, and not just online, lately. I keep thinking "i'll get that later" only to find I'd forgotten something else. I'll try to straighten up.
Apologies to you all
I'm waiting on you guys.
Just to give you a heads up, I'll be out for the Easter holidays, starting tomorrow morning, sadly that's about 4 days.
I'll be AFAK (Away from Any Keyboard), during the whole time there. Bot me if needed.
I'm going on a short Easter "break" with the family. I currently expect to have 3G internet, but it's always possible reception will be bad... If for some reason I can't post, please bot me. I'll be back on monday.
Hecktor...you need to do something about that character sheet man.
Don't you have a Magical Scythe now? You have for gear listed
Weapons: Mwk. Scythe +12(2d4+11,critx4), 1.5x5 (7,5/8),+2 specialization, +1 weapon training.
Sickle +10(1d6+5,critx2), Comp. Long Bow +7(1d6+2,critx3)
Armor: Cold rider's fullplate (-3 penalty, armor training reduces penalty from -4 to -3)
Outfit: explorer's outfit.
Mask, battle (+1 to intimidate for demoralize)
Belt of strenght +2
I know you have more stuff than that. Also, are those the full stats for the Cold Rider's armor? I thought it was +2 Fullplate with some other stuff?
It is really hard for me to be fair and use your actual bonuses when your sheet isn't up to date and isn't easy to understand.
I think we can take these guys. Pardon my edits, trying to see what Lucanor knows as it might affect his actions
The same thing that Silas got about the golem.
Mwk Scythe +14
5str + 6BaB + 1 mwk quality + 1 weapon focus (scythe), +1 weapon training
Dmg 2d4 +7 (5 str 2-handed), +1 weapon training, +2 weapon specialization)
(Going to double check that last 1 dmg)
The fullplate had resist cold 10.
Here you go. Turns out you where running a 19 point buy, not 20 point. You can have 13 cha. Your resists are better than you thought too. And you forgot that you get 1.5x strength bonus to damage with a two hand weapon. (Yes far too many rules)
Oh and your to hit for the bow was better than you thought too.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Cleave If you hit a foe, attack an adjacent target at the same attack bonus but take -2 AC.
Dazzling Display (Scythe) Intimidate check to demoralize can affect those within 30' who see you.
Energy Resistance, Cold (10) You have the specified Energy Resistance against Cold attacks.
Power Attack -2/+4 You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage.
Vital Strike Standard action: x2 weapon damage dice.
Wayfinder (1 @ 0 lbs) A small magical device patterned off ancient relics of the Azlanti, a wayfinder is typically made from silver and bears gold accents. With a command word, you can use a wayfinder to shine (as the light spell). The wayfinder also acts as a nonmagical (magnetic) compass, granting you a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost. All wayfinders include a small indentation designed to hold a single ioun stone. An ioun stone slotted in this manner grants you its normal benefits (as if it were orbiting your head), but frequently reveals entirely new powers due to the magic of the wayfinder itself (see Seeker of Secrets page 51).

One other thing, with power attack you should doing: +12/+7 2d4+17
This is because you multiply the power attack damage bonus by 1.5 for two hand weapons.
You can thank me by turning Vendikon into paste ;)
Edit: Fixed the to hit. My gods though if you crit you're talking 8d4+68...
Lol, i certainly intend to do so.
:)
Oh gods that sheet looks so much better...
Also, I've purchased the 5E PhB, just to check it out, our discussion about rules in the other game made me curious.
Hmm, that heap of walking stitches packs a punch, i'm 1 or 1.5 hits away from death.
I'm likely taking an AoO here for anything i try to do, other than fighting. XD
With 2 of us invisible, i propose we go at them 1 at a time, shall we start with the one Lucanor's facing? If we can help it, the fleshgolem last.
At this point, I'm wondering if we should all start working on our 'if the worse happens' characters ;)
I think Gilmork might reincarnate as another oracle with a different curse.
I don't want to think of that too much Lucanor, this is my 1st char i started playing.
Sorry, just nervous. I'm sure we'll make it through *Knocks on wood*
On that note,
Are any of you guys familiar with 5E DnD?
Nope, started PF pretty much with this game. Time flies doesn't it?
I'm curious to see how they streamlined the rules. I actually don't mind the maths in pathfinder (it's pretty simple) it's just the sheer quantity of rules that bogs things down.
Hecktor you're getting the damage computation wrong ;)
You should be doing:
Str Mod = +5 * 1.5 = (7.5 rounded down to) +7
Weapon Training (Heavy Blades) : +1
Weapon Enhancement Bonus: +1
Weapon Specialization (Scythe): +2
Power Attack Mod = +4 * 1.5 = +6
Total = +17 Damage
