Rather than blindly guessing at what damage resistances things might have, you can have your character make in-game checks to try and find out. Perception is an easy one to start with.

I make a lot of alterations to the creatures you guys fight. Never, ever assume that they are the same as what you might find on a pathfinder monster write-up. Often I make changes simply so that somebody working off meta-knowledge gets tripped up. ;)

Well poop. Skeletons and zombies probably fall within the realm of common knowledge enemies which means DC 5+CR. Don't even need to be trained in religion to know that. But if they're different, Tyrus is the only one that can figure it out. He's the only one with Religion. So I'll leave this to him. It is his area of expertise.

I was bored, so here's Fluffy's Spherecasting version. XD I dabbled around a bit, but the end result was a melee combatant to fight alongside Dante. Luca had one spare talent - not seen here - so I put that into the Death Sphere and gave her a focus on Ghost Strikes to let her debuff enemies. Notably, this stuff'd replace her current Eidolon, her spellcasting, *and* her Summoning Mastery power (i.e. all those Vilstraks).

Sorry for the short delay last week. I'll be around over the weekend and able to get a post up if people want to post, but as always no worries if you don't want to/can't. And happy 4th to those of us in the states!

When I get another moment I'll add space on the map to the north to make sure there's room if things go down in that direction.

With how quickly Dante killed my skeleton captain guy (that dude was supposed to land at least ONE hit!) I'm rooting for the undead here... ;)

One of the things I was building towards was spell crits. Glad to see one go off so soon. Level 5 I can add Keen.

Going on vacation until Sunday. Pretty sure I will only have my phone to post. DMPC as needed.

Given how slow last week was I decided to fast-forward through the rest of the fight - and fortunately Dante nailed his next hit, so we didn't have to go far.

Luca: You are extremely close to leveling up, so you should probably go ahead and consider what you'll want at your next level if you haven't already.

Tyrus and Dante will probably be only a bit behind her, as is our usual pattern (a result, if you remember, of Luca opting to start at level 2), especially given the dangerous environment.

Well, I build in Hero Lab, so level updates are fast and easy. XD The big thing is probably FINALLY being able to change her Eidolon's setup - I'm thinking about switching Fluffy to a small "Scout" form, since it doesn't really fight and has half progression anyway.

Thanks Mercy: I was beginning to think that final skeleton was some sort of special immortal ;)
Outsider

Yeah. It's annoying to me that that useless sack of bones lived so long while Mr Captain gets one-shotted. The dice giveth, and taketh away...

Dante: Regarding your sword being able to change shape - I'm going to say no on that one. Dante is already a very flexible character, and I don't feel like the damage type thing is enough of a weakness to buff your template. It's just one of those things you'll have to deal with (as you have been).

I'm okay with Torble scouting: his stealth is amazing... but he can't talk, so I'm not sure how useful it will be. Tyrus will also want to stay close enough to run to his aid if needed.
Outsider

Waiting on somebody to take an action before we can move on! :)

What about the empathetic link? If torble got close enough to see it, the reaction might be enough to gauge the threat. Fear=we avoid. Confusion=we converse from a distance. Relief=we approach.

Yeah, scouting a bit more will probably work.

If we came back tomorrow and spammed it, and Luca summoned something that ran away, I wonder if we could sneak through the mist. Then Command Undead becomes a backup spell if it gets within 40ft.

Oh. Control Undead. Command Undead is only available to a necromancy focused wizards and evil cleric's. I was surprised your focus was enchantment when your backstory involves undead.

Ah! But that's part of the tragedies of Tyrus. He had the talent to be one of the truly great necromancers... and instead learnt to be a mediocre transmuter.
Outsider

Can do, Tyrus. And yes, Obscuring Vapor would work as intended against most common forms of undead.

Turns out False Life is personal. Not sure how I missed it.
I think Tyrus will have to spend some time trying to research a 'touch' version.
Tomorrow morning he'll switch out a false life for a Commmand Undead.

I thought plan was for T and D to memorise a bunch of obscuring mist, try to sneak past. Command Undead was a last ditch "we're going to die anyway, give it a go."

Don't have that and it takes money to inscribe it. We aren't currently in a place that would facilitate such concentration either.

Pretty sure you can.
It's actually the dwarven book; you can prep from a different book with a spellcraft roll.
We were doing it last night.
Outsider

If you can read the language the spell is written in I see no reason why you couldn't memorize it from another book with a spellcraft check as Tyrus said.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Does that get it? How many we need? I'd like to keep two slots.

Yep - just made it.
I figure we start at the back and work towards us so as not to block LOS.
How many depends on Mercy, but I sort of assumed three or four would be enough as they cover a fair area each.
If more needed, Tyrus can probably pick up another one or two.
Worringly, we may need the same trick to get past it on the way back.

If nothing else, I can probably distract enough of them with minions to let us get through. ^^

Huh - yeah, I think I got confused.
So does the 20ft range and 20ft area mean you can appear on the 'edge' of the cloud, or do you have to start in the middle?

I suppose the idea will still work if we walk to the edge, then recast. We'd end up with a corridor of obscuring mist.

Am I right that it doesn't move?

Always seemed a bit strange that undead didn't have some sort of lifesight. They don't, do they?
Human Male Magus (Bladebound) 4 | HP: 34/34 | AC:16 [21] | FF:13 | T:13 | CMB +3 | CMD 16 | Fort:+5 | Ref:+4 | Will:+4 | Initiative:+4, Perception:+2 Speed:30 | AP 4/4 | BBP 2/2 | 1st 4/4 | 2nd 1/2 | World Weariness 22 (-2 Charisma)

I always find it weird too but thankful, I don't think so.

All signs point to you as center.
Outsider

Yeah, caster as center of cloud for Mist. And correct that it doesn't move. So yes, walking to the edge and recasting would get you a further 10ft of cover. Four castings would thus end up with 40 ft. However, you have roughly 70 ft of space to cover.

As for undead with lifesight: some of them, yes. The more advanced the creature, the more likely they are to have senses that transcend physicality. However, Obscuring Mist also blocks darkvision, so I'm going to decide that it at least partially obscures most other advanced senses - especially if the possessor isn't actively looking for you (as the Dreamer is not).

Thus, Tyrus would be fairly confident that the Mist will help somewhat, if not perfectly.
Human Male Magus (Bladebound) 4 | HP: 34/34 | AC:16 [21] | FF:13 | T:13 | CMB +3 | CMD 16 | Fort:+5 | Ref:+4 | Will:+4 | Initiative:+4, Perception:+2 Speed:30 | AP 4/4 | BBP 2/2 | 1st 4/4 | 2nd 1/2 | World Weariness 22 (-2 Charisma)

Its a 20ft radius. That's 80ft of cover if we cast the next at the edge of the last.
Outsider

Ah hah! Thank you, that's a very important difference.

So it could work then?
Note: Torble has Blindsight 30ft, so hopefully will know if it starts heading towards us.
