Map is looking good! Like the shadows based on line of sight. Was this map tools? I couldn't find if you mentioned it in this thread.

Seriously great maps. I know it's a lot more work, but it is totally appreciated. Chris you are a master!

Yes. MapTools. I found this map online, but had to do the visuals, etc. Just finished piecing together one of the dungeons from about 30 scans and crops. It's time consuming, but satisfying.

Can't type that without thinking of this recent bit of Conan silliness:

Back from work. Only 18 posts while I was hammered in a non-stop marathon of meetings related to a crisis? Glim's about to catch up!

Heroic research?

And you come back on with fire.

Well stated. Good post.

I fear Glim's life may be both bright and brief!

Thanks, I'm really enjoying this game - I was wringing my hands all afternoon away from it.

Need... gnome... fix...

If that clock is a mimic and it eats you I will never stop laughing. I will honor your sacrifice but I will laugh the whole time.

Ironically the first thing I thought of when I saw the 3 chests with suspicious spacing in the room - is that they were mimics.

If Glim were wiser, he'd be using his shield and hook-hammer. An assortment of shiny locks to distract him may be necessary if any future subterfuge is required.

Glimmil sets the small hand to "3" and the large hand to "7" in a celebration of his towering gnomish stature, and takes a small step backward to admire his work.

Look, it tells me I'm growing taller by the second!

Well done :)

Having spotted a secret door I will abandon my plan to assault the clock.

LOLZ!

Should've stuck with the clock. It would've been safer.

He'll withdraw his shield while he moves.

Wut?

In true gnomic tradition, you've baffled your own ally.

I'm not sure I should be acting in the first round as I try to make sense of your action. ;)

Heh. I was torn on his first combat action.

If I meta-gamed a little more, I may have deferred initiative to Dryant for a tasty Ward hex, but that was just too out of character!

Hmm...the Ward is already on another. A dreamy half-orc.

And there it shall stay until something changes.

There is no time limit on it, from my readings so it stays on Finneas until he fails to believe enough in St. Cuthbert.... ;)

Dreamy he is, but I believe the ward's up for re-applying unless I'm overlooking a trait or something special that let's it stay up past the warded target getting hit?

If someone drops the figure before my round, he will summon Undzo anyways.

Dryant can do it! :)

And there it shall stay until something changes.

Uhm. The crit doesn't count as a hit?

...This ward lasts until the warded creature is hit...

EDIT: Upstaged by the gnome. Guess who's going down next?

The clock's on the side of the good guys now, I suggest the "Dark Cloaked Killer" fires at it

Weird.

Just confirmed with GM Yahoo something weird: on my computer, the post from GM Chris that says "post in progress" never updates though we've had several actions after. So I completely miss Finneas getting pwnd. :(

However, checking it on my iPhone, it shows the update.

Sorry for the confuzzlement. I wonder if this is a new thing with Firefox. Anyone else having this issue?

I'll post soon.

Dyrant, with a calm given that of a 50 year war hero...

Where is the bluff check?

Ah.

I'm not the only one.

Duly reported. Very strange.

I blame the simpleton.

Ow.

Ah.

I'm not the only one.

But, but, but, I was asleep!

Everybody keeps buffing me, I feel like Voltron. :D

Yeah, I didn't have much else to do from where I was, but I wanted to contribute something. :)

Finneas action resolves
Finneas stands up (move action), embraces his faith in Kord rather than Cuthbert and casts a spell (standard), but does not have time to pick up his sword (another move action).

I've never wanted a +1 BAB so bad in my life.

The party has one now that Glimmil is here.

Maybe if you hadn't gotten sacred tattoos in a fit of teenage rebellion to piss off your human mother, you'd be standing and holding your weapon right now.

She did warn you about getting tattoos....

She signed the permission slip and everything though!

I have considered going oracle/barbarian/rage prophet, but if we need someone for traps I'll switch to oracle/ranger. We have enough divine magic that I'm not worried about my spellcasting. Thoughts?

I'll keep putting points in Disable Device if nobody else has it.

Just, someone else will need to spot them.

I'll say this - I never wanted a riding dog so badly. 15' movement is rough.

"Uhm, charge, brave Garl! Charge!" Shaking off his momentary despair, Dyrant tries to be supportive.

You made me think of this

I see a future as a Bard for Dyrant.

"Put your face to the ground, and beg forgiveness of St. Cuthbert!"

Cast Command, using the Prone action. DC 15.

Sigh. that was my action NEXT round. :( I feel so superfluous....

I've actually decided you're Dyrant's familiar, which not only puts everything in context but makes perfect sense.

Hahaha! All the more reason to follow him doggedly around everywhere! :D

Chris - You have my current action right? You don't need another until the party goes - this is the third round? I'm confused. :)

Lol. Poor Angel is going to be so jealous when she finds out.

Chris - You have my current action right? You don't need another until the party goes - this is the third round? I'm confused. :)

No. You're right. I'm confused. Your moves before the badguy were throwing me, but made sense considering you're not attacking.

I was just trying to make sure I wasn't the one everyone was waiting on... unlike last night. :)

I'll be gone much of today, so if you need to, please just have me swing my cudgel. One hit though and I back up to heal it feeling my own poor mortality. If anyone else is also hit, I'll backup and heal them or channel if I can't reach them.

Red blood spills out of the wounds and his entire body seems to shift from silver to dull gray.

Dyrant will kneel down next to him and begin to go through any possessions he has, turning him over as necessary.

How much do Nitrile gloves cost in this game setting?

At least you won't have to whip off your sunglasses and spout a cheesy pun to determine cause of death.

Finneas readies his sword before Dyrant revives the man.

He makes a move I don't like and I'll end his life.

You did mean the man, not Dyrant, right? RIGHT!?

Yes, the sliver man, that's it. >.>

"And the shinier, the better."

Lolz. The entire post.

I will not kill the gnome I will not kill the gnome I will not kill the gnome.

"Did you hammer in that spike like I asked Glimm? It's important that this ones friends don't interrupt us until we're ready for them."

:)

Fingers crossed on that Bluff check!

I'll hold off on answering these until others have spoken with Ghelve.

Sorry didn't mean to jump the gun, should've just deleted my questions.

Question though, wouldn't my 19 Sense Motive beat his 17 Bluff?

17 Bluff? Where did that come from? He's not bluffing.

Semi-Bluff (to convey Glimmil hammered the spike versus is simply telling Finneas he "understands"): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Although I also don't speak Gnome.

Ah. Thought you were using sense motive on the silver man.

Ah, no sorry. On him I was using my Sense Crazy skill.
