Sigh, with the new FAQ it looks likes magic saddles are only available to dolphins, quadrupeds and dinosaurs. Looks like I am selling back my fancy saddle.

I shall update my stat blocks.

Bah, just noticed Ka also has an illegal feat, he doesn't qualify for the extra item slot shoulders. I have altered it to great fortitude and sold back his cloak at half price.

I am also left with a useless teamwork feat which I will retrain out of. If you are happy for me to do that now I will, otherwise I will do it at the end of the scenario.

Man that sucks. I hate it when that happens.

I would wait. Very often when they make major changes like this they allow things like free retraining or selling items back for full. But it can take a few days before they say that.

Looks alright to me! Qadathra's got wands and a couple of slotless items (Pages of Spell Knowledge), and knowing he can use scrolls as well is just gravy.

Just a note for everyone. After we have finished this part Torvald plans to prepare a paragon surge and use an extended version to take heighten spell. He can then provide spell level 5, caster level 10, heightened continual flame for people. These largely negate deeper darkness so if anyone wants one then let me know. You will need to provide the 50gp component cost.

Yea, I wouldn't mind having that cast on my Ioun Torch

Yes please.

GM: can you put that on my chronicle, including spell level and caster level? I will put it on a new dull grey ioun stone for a total cost of 75 gold.

Same here.

GM: just asking: does the scenario allow for us ambushing the vampire(s) at another place than the marketplace?

I ask because we might be trying to get a more favorable position while that is not possible at all, much as I like the discussion with the major, we might want to move on to the actual ambush if we can not place anywhere else.

The scenario takes account for different ambush sites, but it's mostly a cosmetic change. I'm fine with starting the attack where ever, when you decide.

Thanks, just wanted to be sure we are not wasting our time here.

Alright, time for a vote. I'm fine with laying out our ambush in the town. Especially since we have a nice map for it. That's my vote.

Town is good. Town is easy. Bauble is ready.

Good with me

Nuar can add a few more numbers to his innocents inadvertently killed by fireball total if it speeds things up.

Market it is!

Vampires level drain. I hope they fail the saves because I'm in a real vulnerable spot.

Just a quick note, I will be away at a convention this weekend and wont be able to post much until sunday.

Eolowyn's reasoning: the vampire will retreat to one of the many islands in the lake. If we can find out which one we can return and once Naur is back to normal we can then move there (or wait).

I am assuming that Eolowyn knows that vampires can return to their coffin and will rise again unless truly killed. She has no clue if that is a matter of minutes, hours or days.

Even not knowing anything about vampires, its the only lead they have and they might as well follow the mist if they can.

I am away at Paizocon UK this weekend so wont be able to post much from Friday until Monday.

Hi gang, I will be on holiday until 7 August and very likely without any internet connection. Please bot me where required

I would have healed Shel after the last fight if no one else did.

As for this fight, I'll wait to see the consequences of that fireball before posting my action.

So on the one hand this vampire probably has useful knowledge. On the other hand they are vampires and they are all crowded together.
There is a small chance of something freaky going on like the vampires are actually the hostages under an illusion but that seems unlikely.

All in favor of a resounding no! followed by a couple of Fireballs?

Fireballs are always the right answer.

If I turned him to stone at (roughly) the same time, we could have our cake and (h)eat it too....

You already know Bauble's vote. But I'd like to hear the megalomaniac speech before we cut them to pieces or fry them to bits.

I am fine with attacking, I don't see any need to negotiate with vampires although I wouldn't want the hostages crisped.

Vladek's spell has no effect on the vampire's unliving flesh, but it does manage to anger him.

The spell says nothing about undead being immune....

Undead

Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).

Hmm...and I guess if it says 'creature,' it's by definition not an object, even though an object COULD be made of flesh (surely you've ALL heard the famous myth where the gods, in their anger, turn a hamburger to stone)?

EDIT: Looked it up, there does indeed seem to be some consensus on the matter.

@DM: I don't know if I could make an appeal to character knowledge VS player knowledge and take it back?

Still, I feel I ought to be able to turn a hamburger to stone if I really want to. :P

@Vladek: Eh, I liked the visual of the spell failing and combat starting, and since we're basically done with part 3, you wont be missing it.

I'm not sure whether I wound up using my reroll this adventure, but if I didn't...

Craft (Sculptor): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (7) + 30 = 37

No difference in any case.

My chronicle looked great, SM!

Was there a named divine caster among the vampires or hostages?

@Naur: Nope. The vampires were sorcerers, and the townsfolk were commoners/experts.
@Vladek: You didn't find any gems at all in part 3. Yeah, season has two 4-parters, but I guess Paizo decided against that in the later seasons.
@Torvald: Retraining added to your sheet.

@Vladek: You didn't find any gems at all in part 3.

Interesting way of putting it. What about the previous 2 parts?

The only things you found that were even remotely relevant are:

Part 1:
pearl of power (2nd)

Part 2:
a number of rough gems valued at 2,502 gp
assorted coins and gemstones worth 1,752 gp

I think none of those qualify for your faction sheet, but I might be wrong.

I am back! Thanks for botting me.

I will need to update Arrano's armor for the FAQ with regard to armor multipliers. I don't think there will be any other updates.

I am away on a sailing trip, so won't be around till Monday

I'll be travelling to see the eclipse the next couple days, but I should be able to keep up.

Just a heads-up, I'll be moving this weekend, so my posts will probably be bit a sporadic the next few days.

Some illness got a hold of me, I expect to be back in a few days
