I finished my post and saw yours... Text walls!!! I didn't edit my post to respond to yours. It was a tad too big for that ;P Imagine he is ignoring you, something which he is quite good at.
StephNyan |
So i should move on to the next one before you report how well I did with the first?
You may attempt all of them in one post, or you may attempt one and await the result. You could also attempt to open half of the safes, discuss matters together, and attempt the others.
Do whatever suits you, as long as that doesn't make resolving all the actions too confusing for me! :P
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
Also, I'd like not to die our first few missions in.
So lets not steal things for a guy who could kill us with propaganda.
StephNyan |
At the end of next week I plan to open recruitment for 1 or 2 games of Master of the Fallen Fortress.
If anyone's interested to play in it with another character, let me know and I'll reserve a spot.

Journal Updated.
Gwendallyn |
Hey guys... I've got a really long arrest report to write tonight and probably will not be able to post until later this evening. If you guys would like to GMPC Gwen until that time... She would prefer going to stop the current attack at Abadar church .
Tereze Amnell |
Now that I've had time after work to read that journal entry... Ery you really have a warped view of the world.... It will be interesting to see how you develop over time.
Urbar Anden |
Really warped indeed... I doubt Urbar will ever get used to that point of view ;P
Tereze Amnell |
If it wasn't so totally out of character and not fitting the setting... I would probably start making Ball Gag comment to Ery about now...
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
Ha!
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
Ery may be foolish, be he is no way an Idiot. he isnt falling for that Tom foolery! Let her die, lets kill the Undead and get the music going
Vicard Inck |
What, we can't let that lady die! It was probably just a DM joke. Vicard is pretty good with Acrobatics, so he can press keys but I'm not going to let that poor woman get killed.
Gwendallyn |
You'd think Ery would be interested in saving the damsel in distress lol! Hey guys, I'm back in action... Had an extremely late night last night, didn't get home from work until 3 AM.
Tereze Amnell |
What kind of action is it to play the music?
??? For perform dance/acrobatics.
Free for perform keyboard
Free for Knowlege religion.
I probably could play the music too. No I take that back I'm pretty much perfect for playing the song.
If I could take ten on my dance check I could play the right song with no rolling needed.
Think you all can take care of these undead and leave me alone to play the music?
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
I think we should get all the undead into a central location and have Tereze turn them all to dust.
Tereze Amnell |
Wouldn't it be nice if they all cooperate that way and bunch up where I could blast them?
But no I doubt that will happen.
Some other questions from looking at the map.
1) how high is the alter, how would one get up on it?
2) what kind of move is it to get on the keyboard? I don't see stairs.
3) can I jump from the top of the alter to the keyboard. If so what's the dc?
StephNyan |
You need the DC 5 Acrobatics or Perform (Dance) check to move from key to key, as a part of your movement. I'll let your normal speed apply here. So if you can move 30 feet you could try 6 of those checks.
The alter is 5 feet high, and you'd need a climb check to get on it. As it poses practically no challenge I'll make that DC 0. (Or you could jump with DC 20 Acrobatics, if you want to do that for some reason.)
Assume there are stairs directly below each key, leading up. DC 5 Climb to climb the ladder.
You could try to jump from the alter to a key, but there's a height difference of 10 feet and a gap of 5 feet. I'll rule that you'll have to combine the DC for a long jump with that of a high jump. It's DC 5 Acrobatics to jump over 5 feet, and DC 40 Acrobatics to jump 10 feet high... So I guess you'll have to wait a couple of levels before you're able to make that jump. (It would be epic if you could do it.)
Keep in mind your speed changes while climbing.

Well, if we all stay together (and either save the woman or let her die), assuming all undead use those sickles they'll have to move in against us - which will make things easier for our melee and for Tereze's channel energy.
Not sure Fiona will play along with such a plan, but it might be worth trying.
Tereze Amnell |
Not trying to retcon drawing my weapon, but we all knew there would be a fight here and that ranged would be hard to use in the fog so it seemed only reasonable she would come in with her weapon drawn.
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
We puttered out pretty hard core.
Tereze Amnell |
No we are all stuck in different chunks. This is going to be a LONG fight unless we kill some of the undead and can have larger amounts of us post in one day, or if Steph posts more then one update a day.
Honestly with the number of bad guys I'm wondering if we picked the wrong path. Maybe we should have gotten the book and triggered the abort code.
Oh well C'est la vie.
Urbar Anden |
It'll work out :D I always consider this the worst part of pbp but not too bad.
Mowque |

Yeah, the fact that the GM is in a different time zone and can really only post once a day will mean combat goes slow. It is a pain, but he usually doesn't miss a day, obviously doing the best he can.
Maybe he could let us bot some of the more mindless monsters?
StephNyan |
I do let players bot other players when someone's not able to post within (give or take) 24 hours since they were up, but I'm afraid I cannot let any of the players bot the monsters. I don't believe it's written anywhere, but judging by all the other strict rules PFS has I'm pretty sure that's not allowed.
Concerning my posting rate I bring you some good news:
This week was my exam week and also the deadline for quite a bunch of reports, which I've been working on for almost two weeks. Normally writing the reports wouldn't have taken me this much time, but I also had to run extra days for my internship. Anyway, that's all over now!
Also, I've got next week off and barely any obligations the week after!
Fiona Nic Cathár |
Just a recommendation - other GMs do player and monster initiative in blocks (as in all players/monsters, then the other group). This will probably expedite things considerably.
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
He does do Ini blocks, just a bit odd with the disbursal with initiatives this time.
Tereze Amnell |
Steph please know that be of my posts above were intended to be in any way a criticism of your post rate. I appreciate greatly the fact that you are running this for us. Please keep that in mind when reading any of our comments.
Tereze Amnell |
Ery you have to do a miss chance on the grapple.
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
damn miss chance. Sorry. sorry. fixing*
Tereze Amnell |
Wow that was a lot of rolling that post.
Steph, do the operatives not need to roll miss chances?
I haven't seen them roll any in the fog.... Just wondering if these guys are different.
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
think they are immune to their own affects
Tereze Amnell |
They weren't last time.
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
huh
StephNyan |

I completely forgot about their own miss chances... Luckily it doesn't change anything that happened: the only one that actually hit someone is the one who's facing Fiona, and that one's outside the mist.
Move E - Already triggered the key so I don't have to dance right?
You'll have to, because the key will go back up when you step off of it. See it as an actual organ or piano: you can press a key again after you've stopped pressing it.
Vicard Inck |
I don't think the undead are breaking it. They seem to be magically silent...maybe they block the sound with magic?
I think I will join you up on the keys Tereze. Vicard has good Acrobatics, he can press some.
Tereze Amnell |
She's guessing... It could be magically silent but they are in the pipes for some reason and breaking the organ is as good a reason as any.
Gwendallyn |
Hey guys, sorry for my unexplained absence. My grandparents both passed away over the weekend and I haven't really been in the mindset to post. I will get caught up this weekend.
Eryzule, Lord of Tea |
Sorry for your loss, please take all the time you wish, Ill continue posting on your behalf.
