Level up!
Also, Djack's rapier is now +1, +2 vs. aberrations.
I'm old and used to Tolkien's interpretation of Orcs, which is in some ways even less flattering. I have no problem conceptualizing them however the world does; fantasy races aren't real, and I don't equate them to the very real misrepresentations that have happened in our own history. That said I don't have any problem exploring that misrepresentation in a fantasy context, either. I'm uncertain what Leta would think of such a thing and shall have to give it some thought it if comes up in her presence. She certainly holds Bashuk in high regard for her immense courage and ability.
With the proximity, Clausius' strike hits the enemy ship solidly in the unshielded forward section. Krema and Legion may act.
leta is paralyzed for a currently-unknown duration; 5 Rounds per the DM
Leta 5' step's out (or as a single move, either should work), and then casts Bladed Dash. When you cast this spell, you immediately move up to 30 feet in a straight line any direction, momentarily leaving a multi-hued cascade of images behind you. She moves 20' forward (through Miruna's friendly square), and then "may make a single melee attack at your highest base attack bonus against any one creature you are adjacent to at any point along this 30 feet." Spell does NOT provoke AOO. (+4 BAB, +1 Str, +1 Magic, +4 Cha (circumstance from spell), +2 morale (from Inspire Courage))
Will allow for a Resolve Point. If I did move, do I draw an AoO? You're outside the psychic weapon's melee range (he can use it ranged, but not with AOO), so you'd be fine moving away. If you move TOWARD him more than a guarded step (AKA 5' step) however, you will take AOO.
Ah, just dusted this account off after ages of disuse with the hopes of jumping into some pbp and this game sounds excellent. Sad I didn’t see the thread sooner. Maybe buzz me if someone else drops (though for your sake I hope that doesn’t happen. I know what a hassle it can be getting games off the ground). I'm waiting to hear back from a 5th player who was going to play a Druid but hasn't replied to my PMs. If they don't respond by end of the week, you're welcome.
Shada begins to close the door as requested, but leaves a foot in the doorway to catch it. "So what is going on with the zombies? Is my teammate in danger? Because if she is, I'm going back in to help her, regardless of tests."
Shada hesitates for a moment. If there is to be battle, she wants to help. However, as Zandora points out, we need information, and the test-runners may have some. Shada nods. "Very well; I'll come back the as soon as I learn anything, or sooner if I learn nothing!" Shada continues at a sprint.
Perception 30 to listen:
Fellowship: Shada keeps her ears open, listening to the Dwarf's answers for the sounds of deception.
Sure. At least I hope that's a contest I can provide some value in.
Hmmm. Not yet. Hopefully someone will come along soon, but if not I guess we can go it alone.
Yeah, it's difficult with the points given to have much of a chance at being good at more than one or two things, and by good I mean "okay." It's a hard gear to change to go from being used to having DC created around what a party has a good chance of succeeding at to the somewhat binary nature of having a certain percentage that "feels" like it's hard and fast. Maybe a notation (and if it's there and I missed it, I'm sorry) indicating bonuses/penalties based on difficulty would be helpful in alieviating this feeling. Like if the players got under the hood a little and knew they'd get auto-success for an EASY challenge, +20 for a SIMPLE challenge, +0 for an AVERAGE challenge, -20 for a DIFFICULT challenge, and no chance at all for an IMPOSSIBLE challenge, it might help us feel a basic competence now, with the hopes of gaining increasing expertise as we improve.
Fellowship to deceive: Well, currently her case is substantially more solid than yours, I'm afraid. It's becoming increasingly apparent she was not involved. [ooc]lol that went well[/lol]
You'll note they're not "messy," they are in fact bloody. Only a little though - they've been washed. Odd to lose a pair of gloves after washing blood out of them.
"Let's try talking to Almena first. The body isn't going anywhere. We can backtrack later if needed."
Yes, I agree. It does seem quite possible the shears are a double-clue, so to speak. The murder weapon and also related to the motive. To the garden! And afterword, perhaps we can interview Almena."
As far as the investigation, Shada has been letting Zandora lead for a couple reasons:
Hmm. How big is the print? Is it the size of my hand (a petit female hand) or was it bigger? How much bigger?
O.O
Sounds fine to me, my new friend.
Why are people just giving away these potions? Are those people related to the contest? Can we trust those potions?
Looks good! How did you find character creation? Wow, sorry for zoning this comment. To reply (better late than never), I found character creation pretty intuitive, once I learned how to use the website properly. None of the systems were really unusual to me, just combined in different ways.
Yup, just the (almost) unavoidable one. Okay, I chose "Constant Nightmares" (due to a traumatic even in childhood).
Okay, so I had that advantage, plus one more. Doesn't that mean I only need one drawback, not a couple?
Question about the Drawbacks. So under Human it says with Diverse (Human racial trait) that I get "an additional, free Advantage." Does that mean I don't need a Drawback for it? If not, it's not really much benefit, as I can take as many Advantages as I want WITH drawbacks, correct?
Here's my 1st attempt at character generation. I aimed for a Monk/Ninja type thing.
I'm a Jew and a gamer, for what that's worth, and I'm not offended. I guess if cultural appropriation is a massive concern, you're probably offended by a whole lot of stuff in D&D/Pathfinder, as Gygax and his posterity really just took every cool thing they could think of and threw it in there. Ninja, Samurai, Cavaliers, Witches, "Barbarians" (wow, really?). They're all fantasy creations based VERY LOOSELY on real world legends and history. I guess if someone at your particular table is offended by it, either don't use them or use Construct or (borrowing from White Wolf) you could use The Created.
Emma Jane will follow Dawn up the ladder, going to examine the man on the floor. Rather than waste time with a heal check, Emma decided she's much better just trusting her gut. Giving into the nightime
Finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'll try to post something tonight if I don't pass out from the almost-all-nighter last night.
For those interested, I've linked a little introduction story staring Mary and Emma Jane that SV and I worked out. I would post the text here, but it comes out a bit long for that at 3 pages.
So, I somehow missed this crucial URL at the top of the character gen information. No wonder everyone seemed to have more information than me! I was going off the spoilers you put in the Starfinder thread plus the two maps! Very informative. Question, and maybe I missed it, but it seems like according to the document, Ullnswhere is finally starting to turn the corner. Is it basically only because it has started to spread that we're poking our noses into it?
Shmick, Hickle and Malavine failed the save, taking the brunt of the damage as the negative spirit of the Forgotten Pharaoh passes across the desert plains in all directions, to be forgotten once more in the desert winds. The team manages to gather a substantial bounty from the dead cultists and the pharaoh's human host. They are uncertain if the Cult of the Forgotten Pharaoh has been completely destroyed, but that is a question for another day. For today, they are triumphant. After a brief detour in the desert returning one grateful Thraie former princess now queen to her home (which garners even more rewards), the victorious heroes successfully bear the Mask of the Forgotten Pharaoh back to Wati, and present it to Sebti, leader of the church of Pharasma, for safe keeping. The next morning, the heroes awaken refreshed and ready to travel. The adventures of the last few months under their belts, they wonder what lies ahead. In the common room of the Tooth and Hookah, Zelda is the first to voice it. "Well, what's next?" THE END
I'm really sorry for being one of those absent players. Things come up; I certainly understand. But I think it might be time to put it to bed and start something new at some point. Anyway, we still probably have a month or two of gametime with what I've got left, let's just try and end it with a bang!
Similarly, Janeesa's bum was starting to feel like she'd been sitting on it for the length of a cross-country train trip, rather than just a few seconds. What an odd set of physics this cavern has.
Thanks, there's just so much going wrong since November and I see no way to fix any of it, and now more is going wrong next month. If you want to unload a little, PM me. Undoubtedly I'm powerless to do anything about it, but it can be nice to just unload now and then. If not, no big, just putting the offer out there. Either way, best of luck. Life can get rough, we got to watch out for each other.
The creature fires three more arrows: one at Zelda, one at Liath, one at Malavine. Zelda:
Zelda only takes 8 HP because the negative energy actually heals her. Liath:
Malavine:
The 1d6 part of the damage is negative energy. If the creature hit you, make a Fort Save.
One of the two fallen men, unsavory types dressed in all dark colors, looks pained as Liath removes the rapier he had just drawn from his hand, and takes a second move action to draw a dagger. The other one, locked in combat with Kephry, has drawn his rapier and attacks:
The two on the edge of the rooftop fire their heavy crossbows, one at Hickle and one at Kephry. Hickle:
Kephry:
Quinn has a little trouble, but eventually manages to make it down (I rolled off-line). The "well" has layers of natural striation, making some natural "trails" along the perimeter. Alternately, you could simply try to climb down to each ledge in series, though at this point, the ice is a bit slicker and the DC would be higher.
"Seems like a viable plan," Quinn commented. "Can we get a map of the areas already searched? That will help narrow down our search. Maybe we can pinpoint the ambassador's comm if we get close enough."
Captain Quinn suggests maybe it's time to bite the bullet and head through the security checkpoint. Would everyone like to go, or just Esh and Isis? On the one hand, some of you could remain armed here in the lobby in case you're needed. On the other hand, being so far away if you become needed could be a problem.
It's really annoying being usurped when Esh is supposed to be the team's hacker, but I'd rather us not have to fight security due to a tripped alarm. I plan to word it so that Esh AND Isis both have a part in the process; I hate it when the dice screw a character's main area of focus. It strains verisimilitude.
