"Ha, taste the blade full of Silvio's goodness!" Silvio cries out in triumph and continues his assault on the monster attacking Zstelian.

Full round to attack

Round 7, Init 10

Kyson keeps offering his more heroic aspects, trying to spur his teammates.

Heroism: +2 to attacks/saves/skills, peeps. (4/8). You're owning these yahoos, Silvio.

Kyson, seeing his friends bleeding, calls upon Sarenrae for help.

Are you there, Sarenrae? It's me, Kyson. I need you.

4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 4) = 13 Healing, excluding the bad guys (3/5)

Round 3, init 20, HP 14/47

Still on his feet thanks to Sarenrae's healing mercy, Sekathral changes tactics, leaping back 5ft, drawing his pistol and firing both barrels!

Attk 1: 1d20 + 12 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 - 4 + 2 = 30

Dmg 1: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Attk 2: 1d20 + 12 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 4 + 2 = 21

Dmg 2: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Filled with Desna's blessing, Zstelian grips his weapons and makes a flurry of attacks.

Casting again, Khazmia focuses on the same creature, hoping to reduce their numbers.

Round 3, Init 7

casting defensively: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16

magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 2) + 4 = 10

spell resistance: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 = 25

Sekathral's bullets hit the nearest creature but they seem to have no effect, the wounds healing almost as quickly as they're made.

Silvio, though, has more luck -- his first swing misses, but the second manages to score a hit, with the Kyson-enchanted blade proving to be far more deadly against the creatures. It screams as the blade seems to sizzle, and a moment later pops out of existence before it has a chance to hit the ground. One down!

Whether the others are dismayed by the third's disappearance or the old Varisian is encouraged by Silvio's success, his blades tear into one of the remaining beasts. While the ripping wounds close quickly, they don't close completely, and dark ichor drips to the floor from the holes. Enraged, it turns its back on Sekathral and launches a furious attack that nearly flays the old ranger. [/ooc]26 hp; also, I had you step up five feet, since that set up a flank for Seka, but if you don't like that, we can pretend it didn't happen.[/ooc]

Kyson again heals his friends while Khazmia's magic missiles penetrate to almost as deadly effect as Zstelian's blades.

The final demon creature focuses on Silvio, apparently out for a measure of revenge, and sinks his fangs into the Chelaxian. I think your AC is actually 23 at the moment, since you're not using expertise. In which case, you take 9 damage

Round 4, init 20, HP 27/47

Seeing the demon right where he wants him, Sekathral flings his smoking pistol to the ground, replaces it with his rapier and jabs at the back of his opponent's neck!

Attk plus flank plus heroism: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 2 + 2 = 34

Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2, 1, 2) + 1 = 9

The pain is somewhat blunted by Kyson's fervent prayers and the old ranger continues his attack.

Yep, that's correct. I just forgot to change the figure on my round status recap.

Silvio literally beams as his opponent disappears into dust and turns his attention to the demon savaging him.

Full round to attack

I was going to add the heroism bonus and the second damage roll but with those numbers I won't bother and just go to bed instead.

Round 8, Init 10

Kyson keeps offering his more heroic aspects, trying to spur his teammates.

Heroism: +2 to attacks/saves/skills, peeps. (5/8).

Kyson, seeing his friends bleeding, calls upon Sarenrae for help.

Are you there, Sarenrae? It's me, Kyson. I need you.

4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 6) = 22 Healing, excluding the bad guys (4/5)

Round 3, Init 7

Khazmia focuses again, this time on Zstelian's opponent.

concentration to cast defensively: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 3 = 23

magic missile(4/7 first level spells): 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 4) + 4 = 18

spell penetration: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11

Sekathral leaps back into the fray, but his sword seems to have no effect. Nice; you finally hit, and you get almost as low damage as you possibly could. Similarly, Silvio has little luck against his foe, his blade failing to even come close to penetrating the creature's flesh. The Chelaxian's misses throw off his defense for a moment as he loses his footing, and he takes a claw across the face -- just ducking under a second -- before he regains himself. 8 hp

Zstelian's weapons prove more effective, the old ranger's blade catching his foe across the face, though it rears back just in time to avoid the worst of the damage. Kayle also connects with it twice, but as before, the wounds her talons cause simply close immediately. The Varisians effort are rewarded with a renewed attack, one of the creature's claws cutting deeply. 9 hp

Kyson heals the group again while Khazmia sends another volley of magic missiles toward their foes, but this time they simply fizzle out as they make contact, drawing a gutteral cry of rage from Zstelian's foe.

Silvio grimaces and shrugs off the demon's claw attack. "You still believe you can best Silvio in martial ability?" he asks. "Then Silvio shall give you a few reasons to doubt your conviction!"

Full round to attack
Attack roll: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 2 - 3 = 28 (+2 heroism, -3 power attack)

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, TAKE THAT DEMON MONKEY!

Round 6, Init 10

SILVIO!! Now if we can get a decent role from Seka, we can get out of this combat.

Kyson lets the heroic aura fade now that Silvio has begun to image he keeps in his own mind.

Kyson draws his scimitar and tries to aid Silvio's next attack.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 vs. DC 10 to Aid Another

Round 6, init 20, HP 47/47

In a thoroughly bad mood, Sekathral jabs viciously at the same spot

Attk plus flank: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 2 = 29

Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (5, 4, 4) + 1 = 22

Round 6, Init 7

Khazmia tries again with the same spell, hoping this time will be the last.

I dont think she has to cast defensively anymore. If this is wrong, let me know.

MM: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 2) + 4 = 12

caster level check for spell resistance: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 = 23

Encouraged by their success, Seka finds a weak spot and stabs deep into the demon beast as it fends off Zstelian and Kayle, the ranger's blades cutting twice but only scratches that quickly close. Khazmia casts again, the missiles this time hitting home against Zstelian's foe, and badly injured, it begins to retreat. It scampers up the wall back to the stone bridge 20 feet above. Seka and Zstelian can get AoO; any damage will kill it.

Silvio, finally having taken the measure of his foe, seems to have fallen into a groove, his magicked blade striking home twice with deadly effect.

Kyson pulls his blade and begins distracting the demon creature attacking Silvio, but it ignores him and sinks its claws into the foe hurting it, deep gouges in the Chelaxian's skin bleeding freely. 21 hp

As his opponent breaks to flee, Zstelian hacks at it again.

Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12

After a quick whistle directed at Kayle, the old ranger moves to engage the last surviving opponent.

Round 7, Init 10

Silvio should have an additional +2 to his first attack from my aid last round. Hopefully that and Seka's flank will finish the thing.

Kyson worries for the Brave Silvio's health, perhaps foolishly as he is a Great Sea Captain and Hero to All, but nonetheless aspires to help. Kyson converts Communal Resist Energy to CSW to help Silvio.

Round 7, init 20, HP 47/47

Sekathral makes an attempt to pink the fleeing demon as is scurries past him AoO: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 Dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3, then returns his attentions to the remaining hellspawn.

Attk plus flank: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 2 = 28

EDIT - I'm assuming I can move into a flank here...

Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (4, 3, 1) + 1 = 12

Seka splashes into the pool of blood, the warm liquid sloshing up over the top of his footwear. Despite the disgusting distraction, his blade strikes true into the demon, though most of the wound closes almost immediately.

Despite Sekathral's distraction, Silvio's blade can't pierce the creature's guard, though Zstelian has more luck. Khazmia's magical bolts have more luck, while Kyson again heals his companions.

Badly injured, the creature retreats to the far side of the room, while you can't tell what the creature above is doing.

Round 7, Init 10

"Get 'em! Before they get away!"

Kyson drops his scimitar and moves south to within 30' of the one they can see.

He tosses a small ball of fire at the bottom jerkrilla.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 touch to hit;
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 fire damage.

"Take that!"

Khazmia climbs after the one that up up, casting something a little stronger once she can see him.

”Ha! Silvio tried to warn you but you would not listen!” Silvio calls out to the fleeing demon. ”Your kind is preoccupied with greed, corruption and evil distracting you from the moment. Silvio is focused on the now. This is why Silvio always wins!” The chelaxian pursuits the demon.

Round 8, init 20

Sekathral reloads his pistol, fixing his glittering, beady eyes on the fleeing demon's back.

Seka reloads as Silvio, Zstelian and Kyson chase after one of the fleeing demon creature. The old ranger flings his dagger You couldn't reach it and had no straight line to charge and Kyson tosses a ball of fire, but the former makes no mark and the latter fizzles out as it hits. Zstelian, just to make sure, you're using a +1 dagger, correct?

The creature continues to flee, scrambling up the wall and onto the stone bridge.

Khazmia has more luck, as her flaming rays hit the second one and it burst into flame and then dust before disappearing. But her heart sinks as she realizes there's a fourth creature up there, looking around and sniffing the air as if trying to determine where it is. That's the one that appears next to Kyson, but it's actually on the stone bridge 20 feet up

Seeing the half-orc, it makes a few gestures, and Khazmia suddenly feels fear fill her heart for a second, but she's quickly able to overcome it with a few deep breaths. Tried cause fear on you, but you're too high level.

Round 8, Init 10

Kyson, realizing his failure (and strategic error), goes back to pick up his sword. (move and move)

Round 8, Init 7

"I am *NOT* afraid of you!"

Khazmia takes aim at the fourth one, hoping to put a little fear into him.

Zstelian wouldn't have thrown the +1 dagger, if we know what the DR is he'd throw a cold iron or silver dagger.

With his target out of reach, Zstelian calls Kayle off and switches to his bladed chakram.

OK, since it did no damage, let's ignore it, as your hands would've been full anyway, I think. You do know you need cold iron or good-aligned weapons.

Zstelian's got quickdraw so he'd switch as needed if we knew.

Noticing the demon on the bridge above Kyson, Sekathral snaps a shot off.

Seka's shot just hits as he backs off to get an angle, but seems to do no damage, as Silvio yells imprecations and questions of the creature's courage. Before it can do anything, though, Zstelian's chakram hits it and the toll of its injuries seems to finally overwhelm it as it returns to the abyss from whence it came.

Khazmia's spell hits the last remaining demon creature, but the rays fizzle out at contact.

It grins evilly and gestures at the half-orc and suddenly her slippers stop working, and she plummets to the ground! It cast dispel magic; 7 hp from falling.

Note that it's on the bridge, so it's going to be hard to hit unless you go up there (or it comes down)

Seka's grapple fails to catch anything, but Khazmia quickly solves the problem, casting fly on the elven pirate.

Nearby, Kyson casts his own spell and begins to ascend as Silvio and Zstelian scramble up the rough stone walls to the ledge above.

Once on the bridge, they see the source of the eerie red light in the room -- a large blood-red piece of quartz is lodged in the ceiling, filtering in natural light from above. They can also see iron doors to the north and south. To the west, there appears to be a body on a heap of refuse.

Before you can make out any more details, though, the remaining creature steps up to Zstelian, and sinks its claws and fangs into him. 16 hp total

”There you are! Now Silvio shall end you!”, the chelaxian roars in triumph and throws himself at the demon, determined to make a quick finish to the abomination. ”Kyson, check the body in the refuse pile while Silvio controls this beast!”.

Oh, yeah... forgot..

It's on the second level, not below you (just popping in; will update later as we're still waiting for Khazmia and I had a two-hour (!) florist appointment today).

Round 10, init 7, 38/47hp

Khazmia gets to her feet, still grumbling. She casts fly on herself and pulls her sickle as she takes to the sky. She times it slowly, moving to the other side of the bridge opposite of Sekathral.

Sekathral flies forward, his blade catching the demon creature in the back, while Zstelian can't quite penetrate its tough hide and quick recuperative abilities. Silvio rushes in, but it bats aside the Chelaxian's blade and doesn't seem to notice Kyson's slash. I think that's with your sword? Couldn't quite tell

Khazmia arrives at the level of the bridge just in time to see it swipe at Sekathral, claws cutting deep into the elf. 10 hp

OK, guys, let's finish this. I'm tired of this fight. :)

Hey All--

Everybody please remember to post your current HP in your status every once in a while. I try to avoid the metagamy stuff, but if you're clearly injured I will know that you need healing. A couple hit points here and there won't be noticed I think, but below half, or as our HP grow below a quarter should be visible enough to Kyson.

A note on Kyson's character, as a reminder.

Hopefully we'll be able to pool our resources to get a Wand of CLW (or two) so that the burden of healing may be shared amongst us and Kyson won't have to worry about being the sole source of healing.

Thanks for your help with all this. Like Motte said above, I really like the characters and RP and hope to expand Kyson's connections to more than just Silvio and Sekathral.

As this PbP ages and matures, it's the connections that we build now that we will build upon during stressful and difficult times (both IC and OOC) so I hope to find nice ways to RP with Finn, Dargon, & Zstelian.

And I hope each of you are doing the same for the rest of the party.

Hey all, I may be distracted a bit for the next few days, though I'm hoping to still post at least once every 24 hours. I'm absolutely loving this group and adventure so far. You guys regularly crack me up, but I'm also thrilled with all the interactions and role-playing.

Back on shore, everyone can advance to SECOND level. (And anyone who promises to vote for me in subsequent rounds of Superstar can get yet another level!*)

Please let me know what you want to do in the night (it's fine if it's just to return to your abodes and rest, as otherwise you'll start suffering fatigue) and then your next steps in the morning.

* No, not really.

MOTTE, FOR THE WIN!!

CONGRATS!

Wow!

Nice to have that "Top 32" tag, eh?

Awesome.

-Pain

Yeah, I haven't stopped grinning all night. Though it's made it really hard to focus on my actual job, and strangely they don't change deadline or skip publishing the newspaper for a day in these circumstances.

Whoops, forgot to mention -- can you please let me know (in the discussion thread) what you update when you level, particularly where you allocate any skill points, but also obviously feats, new spells, etc. as necessary.

Motte: I think I'm grinning for you.

I'm behind buying a CLW wand as well, unless the wand we found happens to be one. Even then it might make since to have a second as I believe Finn and Zstelian can both make use of one.
Personally I'd also want to give Finn 50gp to make me a potion of expeditious retreat and a potion of shield and spend 50gp on a CLW potion. That should leave me with a net 25gp added to my coffers.

Good point on the potions! Who wants potions of what?

Crazily, according to RAW, potions of Expeditious Retreat and Shield aren't possible, because they are Personal range spells. But, the GM is more than able to create an exception, if he so chooses. That leaves Reduce Person and Disguise Self.

I was tempted to take Touch of the Sea as my new formulary spell, and that can be potioned as well.

sigh, another day of being pressed for time. i've at least gotten to updating Silvio's character sheet.

New level changes (1 level in fighter):

+8 hit points (+6 from fighter level, +2 from con) (we are allowed to take average hit points rounded up, right?)
Quick Draw (fighter bonus feat)

5 more skill points that go into:
+1 knowledge local (Silvio has picked up a thing or two while drinking and whoring)
+1 bluff (Silvio's stories haven't gotten any milder)
+1 diplomacy (who can resist the Silvio?)
+1 swimming (he has done some)
+1 intimidate (you do not want to be on the recieving end of Silvio's impressive swordplay)

that's all i think.

Buying a wand of CLW sounds like a good plan. You can donate most of Silvio's cut to the group fund.

+1 diplomacy (who can resist the Silvio?)

I, for one, cannot.

I don't know of anything in RAW that would prevent it. As long as the potion has a casting time of less than a minute, spell level of 3 or less and targets at least one or more creatures or objects. A range of Personal is considered to target you, which would satify the target one or more creatures or objects requirement. You just can't create potions of summon monster or alarm. I believe most spells actually have a target entry now to clarify it. But this is all based off of the Brew Potion RAW as I've read it, if there is something in the Alchemist that changes the rules for them, I've missed it. Even so, Expeditious Retreat and Shield are classic potions so even if there is a burb in RAW that prevented their creation now, they deserve a pass.

Personal spells cannot be made into potions. I don't know about Expeditious Retreat and Shield being classic potions as they are not mentioned anywhere. Personal spells can be made into pseudo-potions with Craft Wondrous in the form of elixirs.

Depending on what infusions Finn ends up taking, he could also prepare infusions of Shield and share those.

HOW MUCH IS A POTION OF SHIELD?

I think the last time we had potions of Shield was... 2e?

Creating Potions

The creator of a potion needs a level working surface and at least a few containers in which to mix liquids, as well as a source of heat to boil the brew. In addition, he needs ingredients. The costs for materials and ingredients are subsumed in the cost for brewing the potion: 25 gp × the level of the spell × the level of the caster.

All ingredients and materials used to brew a potion must be fresh and unused. The character must pay the full cost for brewing each potion. (Economies of scale do not apply.)

The imbiber of the potion is both the caster and the target. Spells with a range of personal cannot be made into potions.

Emphasis mine.

And the last time we had Potions of Shield was never. Potions were not spells in a bottle in 1e or 2e.

I'd rather not make an exception on the potions. Hoping to have time for an update tonight. Sorry for the slowdown.

I stand corrected. I only read the feat and the Potions section in the magic items section. In the third part of the book talking about potions "Creating Potions" it does clarify that personal spells are a no no. So scratch those and I'll just pick up a potion of enlarge person instead. :)

Hey guys, having managed to advance in the Superstar competition, I may take a leave of absence again for a few days. I'm sorry to hold things up -- I love how quickly we're moving in this thread and the ridiculously fast response rate whenever I post -- but I will return ASAP.

TOP 16!?!?!?!?!

W000T!!!!

Congrats!

Yeah, take some time, Superstar!

I think we can forgive this... for now.

Rock on!

No probs - great news! :)

Great news and great submissions by the way. With some of the others I couldn't grasp why there were even selected but both of yours were very good concepts.

The mirror was one of my favorite items.

I did feel the scope of the unfettered org was probably a stretch for the game world (just because I'm in the camp that the unfettered should be rare), but the idea was great and helps mainstream the summoners' presence in the world. Something I feel all the APG races need.

I'm being serious, no bonus XP required. :)

DMPC Dargon if needed to move the story. I'll be too busy to get back in for a few days.

Back

Regarding splitting the party: it's definitely easier to handle in PBP than at the table. Heck, I remember one game I ran, and at one point, every PC ran off on his own and encountered their own challenge as a result.

That adventure was a Ravenloft adventure, even.

(But hey, I've got an only-at-the-table rule in the games I run. The players are both audience and participants; let them sit back and eat popcorn while someone runs off in another direction, maybe give them NPCs if I feel like it.)

I'm traveling this week with limited Internet access. Please feel free to NPC me as necessary.

Just FYI, I'll be on vacation for the rest of the week. I may still get some chances to post through Thursday, but then I'll probably be mostly offline for the long weekend.

Hey guys, unfortunately Finn hasn't posted in a couple weeks (nor have any of his aliases that I can see), so I think I'm going to replace him. I've got a friend of Kyson's lined up who'll be introducing her character shortly.

As I assume you'll all be able to figure out, Khazmia (a half-orc sorceress) is going to replace Finn. Based on timing, I figured it was easiest to just retcon and act as if she's been with us the entire time, since we're not really in a good location to sub Finn out and Khazmia in more organically. She's also starting down a few resources to simulate Finn's use of his bombs.

Actually grapple has been nerfed into oblivion. A creature that's grappled can attack normally with almost no penalties. It has a -2 to attacks but you have a -4 to attacks so the attack modifiers are a wash.

See this FAQ for more info:

http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fm#v5748eaic9og8

Thanks, Zstelian. I actually suck at grappling and have to look it up every time. From what I could see in the prd, the grapplee can choose to forego an escape attempt (at which point it would need to make a CMB roll) and do a full attack. Its weapon choice is limited but that doesn't matter if it's got natural weapons.

Interesting that completely changes the use case for grapple.

With that said. I drank a mage armor potion just before the throne room so Dargon has a 21 AC, so by your rolls only the last should have connected.

Whoops, sorry, did miss that one, Dargon. Will update in the game thread.

(Also, if you want to change your build, just let me know. I'm fine with that.)

Yeah I think I will change it to deflect arrows.

OK, no problem. I'll try to send lots of arrows at you. : )

Kyson slowly edges away from the soon-to-be pincushion and towards safety.

Welcome Khazmia! A female with 17 charisma. Silvio approves.

Thanks for the welcome! Silvio's future sacrifices on her behalf will be remembered once her fortunes have been put to right!

Rolled a 1 on my real life save vs plague so I might not post as often until I feel better.

LOL. OK, feeel better, Dargon.

FYI, I may not be able to post much this weekend, though I'll try to check in Saturday at least.

Just FYI, I updated the campaign info tab, mostly the NPC section. (I'll try to keep it updated, as I think it's a valuable resource in a PBP, but also please feel free to let me know if you want me to add any details -- like if you think someone's suspicious or just something you want to make sure you'll remember about an NPC/place/etc.)

Whoops. Verdigris points out that failing the concentration check to cast defensively actually means you lose the spell, as opposed to just taking the attacks of opportunity (which is what we do in my home game).

I'm willing to let it go off as a DM error if that's what you'd all prefer, or we can retcon it so the spell did not go off... I'll go with players' vote. (Just let me know and you can post actions for either circumstance...)

Divine intervention, and I'm more than willing to accept your grace in this instance, but needed to do it with a clear conscience.

Whatever works. I'm happy for homegame rules or for "RAW" whatever is consistent.
