I approve of the combat capability that I'm seeing!
Though I don't know enough about overrun to really add much to that part of the discussion.
As for Daire, he will attempt to help in his own way.
Le gasp! Is Darie supporting Aoife's murder of this man?
Oh hell yes. And he'll do his damndest to make sure the room either openly supports her doing it, or at least will stay their hand.
He gave his word to help, and by God he'll do it. Though perhaps not in a manner that God would necessarily approve of. ;)
Hahahahaha! That is great! I needed that laugh!
This ladies and gents is what a bard is for! To make sure the rest of the world is totally okay with your murder hoboing!
I'm back, managed to catch up with a load of work and get some sleep (some, being the word with a 1 yr old!). Thanks for bearing with me during my wobble.
Good shout on the sticking with Conchobar, my 'Overprotective' drawback would probably mean he would.
Welcome back! Also thank you for supporting Aoife in her vengeful murdering! Tis much appreciated! ^_~
Edit: Also Daire, I love the pieces of silver bit! That is great!
You're welcome. :) I'm having fun coming up with suitably outraged/outrageous denunciations against Sitric.
Hey doesn't does our dear Sister have delay poison?
I suddenly realize that Coblaith was built without a mechanic that would clearly be there given her background. She has, after all, studied herbalism and remedies with one of the most famous herbalists of her time, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), who literally wrote the book on the subject.
Any way to retcon her stats to fit her background?
Rather, they spring from her experience helping in and then leading the monastery's herbal garden and infirmary, as well as the theoretical information she likely gained through her wide-ranging reading in the monastery's library. As she gained practical skills in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, she combined physical treatment of physical diseases with holistic methods centered on "spiritual healing." She became well known for her healing powers involving practical application of tinctures, herbs, and precious stones. She combined these elements with a theological notion ultimately derived from Genesis: all things put on earth are for the use of humans. In addition to her hands-on experience, she also gained medical knowledge, including elements of her humoral theory, from traditional Latin texts.
The first [manuscript], Physica, contains nine books that describe the scientific and medicinal properties of various plants, stones, fish, reptiles, and animals. The second, Causae et Curae, is an exploration of the human body, its connections to the rest of the natural world, and the causes and cures of various diseases. Hildegard documented various medical practices in these books, including the use of bleeding and home remedies for many common ailments. She also explains remedies for common agricultural injuries such as burns, fractures, dislocations, and cuts. Hildegard may have used the books to teach assistants at the monastery. These books are historically significant because they show areas of medieval medicine that were not well documented because their practitioners (mainly women) rarely wrote in Latin. Her writings were commentated on by Mélanie Lipinska, a Polish scientist
Do you guys think that's a bit over the top? I think it might be a bit over the top...
Thanks for the ability to adjust her stats. This is a clear case where the "Lore" skill would be very helpful. She's not a 'nature' person, but the 'natural remedies' part of that would be something she knows in depth.
Hey doesn't does our dear Sister have delay poison?
Good catch, but she needs to know he's been poisoned. I suppose the "detect poison" orison would work as well.
But, just to be safe, I've switch 1 rank from Knowledge History to Knowledge Nature.
Adjusted stats (which have also been changed on char sheet)
Knowledge History: 1 rank, +6 total bonus
Knowledge Nature: 1 rank, +3 total bonus
Well I mean it wouldn't be too much of a leap from him getting shot with an arrow then all of this for it to trigger in someone mind right? For a more logical character such as Sister Cobhlaith I mean.
I agree. I'm would be suspicious about those convulsions.
Also seriously does Aoife's reply seem over the top? I'm like... supper self-conscious about it...
It might raise eyebrows, but I think it's perfectly natural for all that pent-up frustration to come roaring out at a time like this.
Honestly, it seems like something a slave might do, given a chance.
Yeah that is what I thought too when I wrote it. However I noticed I never had her mention the fact she was a slave...

I don't think she should!!
As long as the rest of us treat you like a free person, it shouldn't come up. And she's a fighter! I don't see any reason that anger-management issues wouldn't be perfectly understandable to outsiders. And those of us who know you're a slave? Even more understandable.
I mean, I don't think it crossed her mind. I think she has cast that title aside in all but name. I think she believes that she could take on any who would try to enslave her and what keeps her where she is now is the love she has for her half-brother and for her friends.
I think Aoife's speech makes sense, given her relationship with Conchobar and what must be years of frustration on her part. Thumbs up!
Thanks, also I remembered your bonus this time! ^_^
Also I just noticed I've been forgetting Aoife's +1 to armor for duel wielding...
Two brain-dead poopy-diaper players? whooboy!
Agreed on waiting!
Does Cobhlaith know what Aoife speaks about?
Actually no! that is not what she means. Because that is back with them. Reread her words carefully.
Then nope, *I* don't know what she's talking about and neither does Cobhlaith then.
Note: as far as I know, the fragment and the compass are in the care of Sister Cobhlaith...
Exactly! ^_^
An odd request to make no?
Yeah, the compass is in Sister Cobhlaith's satchel, and I would assume the fragment as well.
But, in any event, Cobhlaith will be sure not to allow anyone to remove Aoife's armor except members of our group, and then only when we are alone. Whatever the reason in Aoife's mind, it's a perfectly sensible precaution for a young woman in a situation like this.
Well yes, but I mainly wanted to put it in because it might give Cobhlaith a little bit of rp time with Aoife. Because I don't think she would allow any of the guys to help undress Aoife...
I didn't really know what to do with Aoife at this part so that is what I did. Also... if she survives this it will be a miracle, gut wounds where a death sentence.
It's an interesting moment also for Aoife to renew her faith as without Sister Cobhlaith's miracles, she would surely be dead!
Let's all keep in mind that miracles are few and far between. For most, this miracle of life will have been the first and perhaps the last proof of God's power on Earth.
Two actually! Conchobar and Aoife, though more likely the former than the latter, as Aoife was of little importance to them... outside of a pretty thing to look at among other things of that nature.
But yes it had been a interesting time for Aoife.
That was so close to a brutal finish for one or more PC's.
Well done all!
Indeed! For the record: I did not at all fudge Sitric's hit points. You beat him fair and square.
Also FYI: I may not be able to post for the next few days on account of work. But I'll get things going this weekend!
Also a heads up about the site:
Thursday, Aug 2 at approximately 9 am EDT, the Pathfinder 2 Playtest goes live.
Which means that maps, adventures, and scenarios will be available for download, along with a 432 page rule book.
I personally expect lots of site wonkiness for at least 24 hours.
So um... I feel like I should roll a slight of hand or stealth here... but I'm just not sure.
That's entirely up to you. For this sort of thing, I encourage players to roll if and when they wish. In this situation, perhaps add a spoiler, in case anyone succeeds in their perception?
The same could apply to when a character is hiding something, which might be interesting to other players for role-playing reasons – roll a bluff check and add the spoiler.
Just so you all are warned my phone was giving me an odd icon when using the view image chose on Bing. So if you don't want to look at the picture I get it.
EDIT: Nevermind just uploaded the picture to my Google drive and made a safe link through that!
Yeah, I sometimes put up spoilers when it's appropriate for one of my characters to have hidden something or for public knowledge about them.
I will be away for both of the next two weekends. I should still be able to post at points during both, but less regularly than usual for me at weekends.
Have any of you tried the mass combat rules from the Ultimate Campaign rulebook? I would be curious to try something of the sort, for the battle to come if some of you are interested. We could split the forces or split up the group with some participating in the mass battle and others engaging in another mission...
Obviously, it will depend on your plan...
I have!
Any good? Fun? Pitfalls?
I found the main issue is that people don't remember all of the rules. Like for example there are, stances I guess it the best term, and you can have one when you attack them switch to another right after that. The guy leading our battle forgot and our two arms decimated each
other... so no one won...
I'm curious, but not sure I'm interested.
Absorbing new rules always takes me a while.
For those who care.
Today's date is Sunday, May 8, 1166
The new moon is May 9.
I'm not opposed to the idea, though I'm not familiar with those rules.
And a good heads up!
Useful to know as an ambush specialist ;)
