Hey ho! Johann's now updated to Level 4.


Technic Siege/Full Map

Still waiting for Dimitra and Gunther... I'm going to put up the intro/briefing tomorrow or Monday. Please post at least soon after that.

I had to set up dropbox, as I never had it before.

So I have a chance to play a PFS module this weekend, and Johann is the only character I have in the level range. Do you expect we're likely to get into the first conflict in this game before then? If so, I should probably play a pregen.


Technic Siege/Full Map

That could probably work - there's a little more story before you're thrown to the dire wolves here.

That would put you 2 levels above some of the other players here. That's not usually too much of a power gap, but if Johann keeps on getting farther ahead, I may request you bring another character into these games.

Yeah, I've got some other characters on their way up too, but none at this level yet.

Wait, I know what to do -- I'll run Johann at slow advancement for this level. I can switch at any level, right?


Technic Siege/Full Map

Yeah, that is absolutely true! You just have to stick with it for the given level, but you can change at each one, if you like.

I'll post my purchases by tomorrow night. So we're fine on Johann doing a module tomorrow then?

Yes, I have no problem. Will hold off on moving into this encounter until after, though.

Used 4 AF, 1 acid, crafting to replace. Also buying 6 holy water. Ready to go!

Sorry, a little bit of updating.
Now Gunther has +1 Mithrial Chain Shirt, and some weapon blances and Alchemist Fire.
The cold iron short sword was from last adventure, since he thought he might need a backup weapon against Fae. (he was wrong, but it does come in handy).

I would like to take this opportunity to offer my congratulations. Walter is pregnant with Naurin's baby. Mazel tov! Let that be a lesson for you kids, there is such a thing as too much life linking.

Range of a vermleks inflict mass is only 30'. Cl 3 and range is 25+5' every 2 levels. That means none of them have range to malfeas, and only 1 could reach dimitra.... GM, is there something else at work here and I should take it, or is dimitra up and able to run away?


Technic Siege/Full Map

Oh, snap! You're right. They only can reach 30', not 40! So Dimitra, you only take damage from that first inflict & Mal is safe. Walter, on the other hand, needs to make his saves...

That's good, because Malfeas was about to leave her there to die, and now she can run away on her own!

Dimitra would graciously bow to Malfeas, if she had any ooc knowledge ;-)

OK, I did a bit of research and figured out that channeled positive energy to heal won't affect the verms at all, because they have negative energy affinity which means channel energy treats them as if they are undead, and they are damaged by positive energy. So if you channel to harm undead, Naurin, they will be damaged. If someone uses CLW on them offensively, they'd be damaged. Of course we may not know this IC.

Naurin's at 470 - pretty close. My top is Norine, at 707. 1453 for GM FurtiveZoog. Each one, a veritable work of fine art. (Except this one.)

Top PC is Mez at 495, with Malfeas close behind at 487. I have a few in the low 400/high 300 as well. My GM visage is up around FZ's, and I'm only a few hundred away from 5000 posts... sheesh, I talk too much, lol

Question: Does cold iron make it masterwork?

No, but the additional cost for cold iron and the additional cost for MW are separate costs; it's double the base price + 300.

Yeah, cold iron is cheap.


Technic Siege/Full Map

Ok, faction notes: The mission has opportunities for SIlver Crusade, Cheliax, and Sczarni if you want to pursue them. No Prestige is tied to this, just small boons on the Chronicle Sheet. Naurin needs to generally act heroic and be a do-gooder. Dimitra would need to be on the lookout for new underworld contacts for Uncle Guaril. Now, was there an NPC here with a checkered past?

As for loot - you get what I listed in the game thread. 10 flasks of holy water is it, but it's free. Any cold iron weapon from the CRB you can buy, though, since the fort is well-stocked that way.

I will probably need them. I'll be carrying a flask in each hand, guiding my pony with my knees.

Derek, were there other 1st level potions for purchase? I keep forgetting to buy a potion of expeditious retreat and/or longstrider.

Who wants the other potions? Shield of Faith should go to the frontline group, probably. I could use the potions of Cure Moderate Wounds, since I heal 2 points more for each die and that could be important if we get the Life Links working properly this time.

there are no potions of expeditious retreat, as it's a personal spell. Not sure about longstrider. *checks* Yup, same thing. You can get a scroll, or you can just carry the extract that Johann will give you.

Also shield, which Johann will give to Gunther.

I'm spending 15 minutes to prepare extracts, including Shield and Bomber's eye, filling in the slots I left empty.

Everyone should take at least one bottle of holy water. Dimitra had two, and used one. That leaves 5, and if no one minds, Johann will take all 5 (or 6 if Dimitra doesn't want to replace hers).

If cold iron weapons are available here at the fort, then Gunther will buy 20 cold iron arrows so he doesn't have to use Mal's.

Thanks, Johann. I get confuzzled about the whole potion and 'personal spell' thing. Oh well, too bad. That would be a good reason not to have bought one so far, though. :P

We could probably also buy you more flasks of holy water, if allowed.

Hey Derek,

What type of swarm was it, just for curiosity? Immunity to fire is a real tough one, and - if it can't be outrun - it would be interesting to be able to figure out how to do it (without an alchemist, that is).

One thing that I don't get about swarms is that the high touch AC still applies, even though you are not still trying to hit one critter but the whole square.

Liberty's Edge

M Gnome Alchemist (Preservationist) 9 | HP 57/57 | AC 23 T 15 FF 19 | CMB +5; CMD 19 | Ft +8 (+2 vs poison) / Rf +11 / Wi +5 (+1 vs enchantment spells & effects)| Init +4 | Per. +14 | Bombs 21/21

My guess is that the Touch AC reflects trying to catch a large enough concentration of swarm critters to do full damage instead of just splash damage.

But why does missing the concentration of critters mean your bomb goes wide? And what about flying swarms? the skeptic asks.

Well, let me see, the answer is... *points behind you* Look! A swarm of puppies! *runs away*

If good energy - not just holy water - did damage to them, then a lot of cure spells and channel energies could be applied. Even hitting with all 10 flasks of holy water, doing 2d4 each only amounts to 50 pts of damage, though.

At least those seem like they are vulnerable to fire. I've heard of parties considerably higher than 6-7 nearly getting wiped out by hellwasp swarms, not having the right spells and such.

Nice move, Mal. When I played this scenario my cleric ended up grappling the party member that went nuts. So a non-lethal attack essentially gets to the same place. Now, I have to wait until tonight to update, since I don't have the pdf at work.

Maybe if my little songbird asks nicely, I'll even let her use my Wand of CLW to cleanse some of the NL damage. :D

Come to think of it, I don't think my CLW wand has seen any use at all since it was bought a few levels ago. I'd like to thank my melee distractions for taking all the hits and not risking any scars to my beautiful face... :D
