I hope everyone's okay with Terrill standing in the doorway while we fight Nicasor, at least for now, since he can do the most damage. If Nicasor's vision comes back, I can 5-foot step away so he might come into the room to fight. It would be great if one of our more nimble types (paging Wilhelm...) could tumble past him while he's blinded, so we can have him flanked. I don't think I'd make the Acrobatics check, or I'd do it.
EF - would I need an Acro check to get past him? He wouldn't get an AoO either way (whether I made the roll or not), but I might just fail to slip past him in the narrow space. The rules seem a bit vague on this matter.
Yeah, I think you need the Acrobatics regardless to get past someone since he's standing in the way, even if he is blinded for the moment.
Hey guys! We are in the final combat and clearly near the end, which means we should finish on time with no problem!
A few things I need from you:
On a nat 1 you get a random boon and on a nat 20 you get to choose. Here are the boons being offered:
• When you cast the listed spell, you may increase the DC of the saving throw by 2.
• When you roll a saving throw against the listed spell, you gain a +4 bonus on the save.
You may use this bonus once for free, after which you should check the box below; each additional use of the selected benefit costs 1 Prestige Point.
First, you gain a Mendevian Commendation for your tireless efforts to supply the crusade. A Mendevian Commendation grants you a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill checks to influence Mendevian Crusaders (maximum +3).
Second, as a swift action while fighting a creature with the demon subtype or bearing an unholy symbol of a demon lord, you may grant all allies that you can see within 60 feet a +2 circumstance bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against those creatures for one minute. When you use this second ability, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Choose the weapon or armor from the following list: breastplate, glaive, heavy shield, or longsword.
When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet; however, anytime you successfully complete (earning the maximum possible number of Prestige Points) a scenario that using the “hard mode” option, you may have the GM sign this boon. You may use this boon one additional time for each such signature you receive.
Chronicles have been sent! I'll leave the campaign active for a while in case anyone wants to contribute in the Gameplay thread for a while longer but once activity ceases I'll set it to inactive.
Thanks for playing everyone! Hope you all had a good time; this is certainly one of my favorite modules!

That's exactly where I'm at, Bizzle! Though I'll pick up some XP for Terrill at PaizoCon and then have to find some higher level scenarios to play.
Thanks for running this, EF. A pleasure playing with you all, and sorry to hog the doorway at the end, it just seemed the most effective way to take out Nicasor.
@Bizzle: metamagic rods are nice, although as a sorcerer they increase your casting time from standard action to full-round action, which means you can't pull them out and then use them. Most GMs will let you start with one in hand but you can always pull it on the first round as a move action (and still do something else) and then start using it after that. I'd recommend ectoplasmic as a backup, maybe an elemental rod if you have blasting spells. Dazing is overly powerful; empowered and maximize are nice if you can afford them.

Yeah, too often GMs only offer low-tier stuff because they assume players either 1)don't have high level characters available or 2)if they have a high level character, they don't want it tied up online for a month or two. When I started playing on here over a year ago I couldn't find anything but 1-5 scenarios so I took the charge on offering higher-tier stuff. It was hard to find players at first but lately I've been running more high tier games than low tier (partly because besides new ones coming out I'm out of low tier games now). Unfortunately I'm about to catch up with the backlog and will only be able to offer new scenarios in the future. But keep a watch out for those! And there are plenty of GMs out there willing to GM high-tier stuff, you just have to look for them.

I've look at those but they are quite expensive. I could do 3K for the ectoplasmic one but I don't see doing that now. Bizzle does more of the complusive spells than anything, which is why he seemed a bit out of place in this adventure.
I'm looking at Boots of the Cat (since I almost fell to my death before) and an Amulet of Natural Armor so far. I still have about 4800gp left. I'm trying to think of a couple of good wands to perhaps lug around for certain moments of need. I have mage armor and magic missile of course. Was thinking of stuff like comprehend languages, endure elements, but I don't know if trying up 750gp for those is a good idea.
