The gnolls have posted their actions, with the throws, as the end of round 2?

How far away are they now?
Is it the start of round 3?

As an aside: you can normally take 20 on search checks, but not for traps, since failing that search carries a penalty for failure in the form of a triggered trap.

At the two that threw it was the end of round one, massive penalties for the Gnolls at 60 ft away, end of round two they will be within melee range of the party. This two that threw the javelins were dumb enough to waste some of their ranged weapons, since they only say Piter as a target for standing up. The two were in the lead, now they are lagging behind, at round 1 these two gnolls were 70 ft away at the end of round 2 three gnolls will be in melee striking range (double move) where as the two that three the javelins will be arriving until the end of Round 3

Sorry, I was busy with car repairs today, took longer then I thought. Volkswagen makes interesting cars to repair.

To Tentacled One: For Cakkarak you have a + 3 to your Strength, instead of the 16 you normally have, for the next 40 minutes, you should have a 19 STR. Unless your Strength was a 13 before hand. I don't want to rob you of your to hit and damage, on the gnolls, also you are flanking with Kur'Plugh:

Kur'Plugh says a few words then the Gnoll on Cakkarak bursts into flames, Kur'Plugh also takes a swing on the same Gnoll that Cakkarak hit. Cakkarak is now flanking with Kur'Plugh,

Cakkarak: Strengthen + 3 bonus to STR for 40 Min

EJB, did my Harm Touch hit? I need to know so I can do it again, if it didn't.

Yes your harm touch did hit, it had taken a total of 17 points of damage last round, then on this round it took another 9 from harm touch for a total of 26 damage.

I have to admit that this is the funniest thing I have seen in awhile...

Player: "Okay we beat Swenj so now we loot"

DM: <There are other more pressing things>

Player: "Yeah got that, but we're looting right?"

DM: <There are other more pressing things>

Player: "Hmm but I can probably just grab a few things..."

DM: <There are other more pressing things>

(repeat x half the posts of the last week lol)

It apparently touches players in the no no place when one breaks the social convention/contract of D&D where you fight then loot your foes in every scenario.

What game was that in?

What game was that in?

Impossible to know : )

If only there were hints!

I was a bit surprised to see Cakkarak has only 30 hp, max. You didn't level him!? He should be 4th.

i didn't think we had rested the full required day to level

Ah, I assumed this was enough: "After a few hours of rest everyone is at full mana and HP, everyone make spot and listen checks against DC 21."

EJB?

Not that I am jumping up and down to point this out, but the gnoll had a potential crit on Loki:

"Move action to get into range of the poor necromancer
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
damage 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (1, 2) + 8 = 11"

<crosses fingers and hopes the fear spell works>

*fends off character gen with a spork of proccing more sporks*

Yes Everyone should be level 4 and rested enough to gain the effects of being level 4.
For the crit, every now and then, I will not roll to confirm a crit, either I missed the deadline, or I was in a hurry. Think of it as the DM wanting your pain to linger on, rather then letting you get slaughtered too quickly :)

I apologize for my spotty posting, sometimes a lot, sometimes nothing. I'm flying back home across the country on Saturday, and should hopefully be more consistent after that.

But hey, I'm an uncle! My sister's baby is healthy, calm, and strong. Can't hope for much better than that. :)

Congrats uncle Gwendalyn!

You wouldn't believe how long that short post took me. I'm going back to bed.

I had already rolled for duration of Revery's Fear spell (in the post with the spell), as I had done before.

Oh, I did not see that. Thanks for rolling it.

Know that this is always an unknown duration to the players.

Feel free to roll for invisibility as well.

Okay, Sajeek should be rebuilt and leveled, just waiting for a brushing. Err, a comb over, I mean :P

We seem to have jumped from the sight of the last battle to mid-ritual. How much time has passed?

What did Loki find on the gnoll bodies?

LOKI: you will find a masterwork great sword
two rusty long sword -1 to hit
cracked large wooden shield -1 to ac
3 sets of rusty chainmail armor -1 to AC,
4 gems worth 300 GP each
10 days of questionable meat for trail rations
4 water skins (full)
2 gems worth 100 gp each
1 Water skin filled with whiskey (A.Tolerance DC 18)
12 javelins

A note written in goblin, seeming to detail a romantic liaison between two gnolls.
A map of where the cave that you just left, it seems to be a hunting map of some kind of the surrounding area.

I'll work out the division of the proceeds from selling Zaruksis's stuff (minus claimed items) later today.

Okay, I'll try to post today, but It might not be until later tonight. I've got to work at my other job tonight, it should be a very long post in the evil game.

Piter is clanged!

I'm assuming that the outpost doesn't give peridots as change, so I only split the 19 that Zaru had. However, I'm sure that they could do more of the smaller denominations, if you'd rather break some plat. (I'm also assuming that we ate his trail rations, and threw away the sling made out of a sentient goblin's skin.)

@Xenh: What recipes does Gwendalyn know for Alchemy and Tailoring? Or did you toss out that part of it? I forget.

Edit: Never mind, found the post.

Thanks for all the division of spoils!

Ding Loki & Nogglegrop~

Danke for doing the work of splitting it.
