Serpent Skull- Beer and Pretzels (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

Everyone ready to continue then?

Ready, how may days travel so I can roll to get rid of the negative levels?

Ready and I can use my daily allotment of cure spells to make sure Goldilocks get those HP back.

You need to make fort save for the negative levels to not be permanent. DC 14. It would be best if you didn't botch this.

I assume it's two rolls since it's two levels.

So does anyone have any spells to help Ivar not "Botch" his fort save rolls?

Unfortunately not.

Closest thing I could do is cast Guidance on you for a extra +1 to your save (consider it done if you want it). I'm not high enough for restoration which would fix that.

Ivar how much HP are you down now, I see 22/60 and the -10 hp and the Rage HP + 10? Shouldn't be any? Is your base 50 now? I assume I healed you to full before resting.

yeah the base is 50, I will edit, thanks..

Oi Drbuzzard, I wanted to ask if Hero's Defiance is allowed.

If it is, I'll prepare it next sleep.

That spell is fine.

Hey Buzzard, Because we rolled for fortitude, I'm assuming that we 'spent the night' at the mines and this fight is the second evening.

If not and the 'fortitude rolls' were 'in the future' but this night in the hut is our 'first night' after the mine, please let me know.

The only reason it matters is Ivar's rage, he needs 8 hours so if tonight is the 'first night' after the mine he won't be able to rage.

This is a few days later. Everyone should be topped off and ready to go.

The rolls for fortitude were for permanent loss of levels, they always happen the next day.

Sorry about the dumb questions, I will also check the combat section of the PFSRD to see if I can find the answers.

Is Ivar the only one who can move in this round? I was hoping someone could drag Randy out of the way.

Also, I don't know much about 'pit combat'

Is the square just north of the pit, the one just outside of the hut, slopped? Can Ivar step there without sliding in? Can he melee attack any of the creatures from there or will he have to wait for them to begin climbing out?

Can he attack any of the creatures in the pit with ranged weapons? How close does he have to be to do that?

Adjacent to the pit you have to roll a reflex save as it is sloped into the pit.

To attack with a ranged weapon, you would either have to climb up on the hut or stand next to the pit.

Thanks, that makes sense.

In game:

The other two start breaking through the walls of the hut. You figure they will be in next round.

Can Ivar move to where the creature is breaking through and ready an attack for when it comes through, before it moves in that round?

Yes. It's pretty obvious where they are tearing through.

I'm on a ski trip this week. I assume the place I'm staying has internet though this is not something I know for certain. Given the nature of the trip (lots of skiing) my posting may be a bit slower than normal. Just a fair warning. I'll be there late this afternoon and know about the internet situation then.

Have a good time!

So how was the ski trip?

Had a good time. Goodly bit of snow, and my knees remain functional, so a success.

When you all use Life Link (on your turn) please try to note it during your action so that I can account for it. Try to do something like this (copy paste for later):

Life Link: +5 hp

[ b]Life Link:[/b] +5 hp

You should then see me posting a corresponding post that will show the negative hp and who it is from.

Ok folks. I'm on vacation till next Sunday (22nd) so the game is on vacation. You can finish any actions you might have this round, but I won't update anything until the 22nd or 23rd.

Did we loose Bart? Haven't seen any post by him for a while and he is not on the map. If so I switch the life link I was using on him to Dino.

He bailed on the game (and all my other games) based on a GM decision I made in one game.

In game you asked:

No peck post and it is Monday. The Peck has voted himself out of the party.

We can either recruit more or just go ahead with 4.

I'm good either way, If you think we need more than these four, we can recruit.

Or sinse we have NPC's with us, If you wanted one of us to run one of them, I'm sure someone would be willing to.

@ Hindi, sorry about forgetting the life, I didn't realize it carried on from combat to combat. Is it a daily thing, or does it stick until you identify someone else?

@Ivar, no worries.

It is an effect that last until I end it (Immediate action), you move to far away from me (over 150 feet), or I die (I hope to never test that out). I can have one link per level so I try to keep it on everyone all the time, there is no duration limit. It is slightly more efficient for me to heal myself of all the damage transfered via life link than it is for me to heal each of you.

Buzz im on vaca this atm till sunday.. I will post this afyernoon though in both camps.

ok

I'm going to a family reunion for the next three days, my posting will be spotty and I will be posting at irregular times. Please 'bot' me as necessary.

Dumb question, who has the map?

A) It doesn't matter
B) you folks decide who carries things
C) since it doesn't matter, and we should move along, you

I will be on vacation till next Tuesday. I should be able to post, but a bit more sporadically.

in game you said:

...then Ivar for round 2 (I should note it has lots of reach and you need to either jump into the water to close with it, or delay actions until it attacks to be able to hit it).

So can Ivar ready an attack for when it attacks, or will it only work if the creature moves within 5 ft.?

Yes. While there is actually a feat for that in PF, I think it is moronic. It always worked before that, so go ahead.

Going on a journey with probably limited internet access for ~3 weeks.
Will try to get some posts in, but please bot as needed.

And no idea what feat you are talking about there^^

Here:
Strike Back
the feat which allows you to do something which was always possible before without a feat.

I ignore it as a dumb idea.

And it has a Base attack bonus +11, ouch.

It would make sense with a creature striking with a weapon so the actual creature never entered within range. But it's a natural attack for the dinosaur so it's sticking it's head in to strike.

Well, either way, thanks.

Yeah, a weapon would be different, but at least you could try to sunder the weapon.

Testing posting again.

We're back.

and it's nice to be back!

So since it's a different day, is there any reason not to assume that Ivar is at full HP?

Sry folks i had to xfer to nightshift over the weekend and last night. I have had 0 time to post.

Would it help if he used the pick from the mine, you said it was + 1, I assume that makes it magical.

As I recall, we're playing with Advanced Bonus Progression. All your weapons are already magical by virtue of you using them. I should not have said the pick was magical (unless I decided to add an additional property).

I assumed that it was magical in the original AP, and that you didn't change it. So, with your permission, I will list it as a MW pick.

Yeah, I just copied over the treasure without thinking about it.

I'm posting this in the games I play in

I wanted to explain my drop in posting rate.

Previously the majority of my posts happened while I was at work. I worked third shift at a treatment facility. I used the boards as a tool to help keep myself awake. I have recently left that job and am now looking for employment.

I'm trying to balance RL responsibilities with the games I'm in, but I no longer have eight hours that I'm sitting at the computer looking for something to do. Between the stress of RL and attempting to find a balance in schedule the quantity and quality of my posting rate has suffered.

I'm planning on staying in the games I'm presently in and I appreciate everyone's patience while I figure out how to make it work.
