I am familiar with original D&D having played.. even gm'd.. I was just missing the Alia is an Elf reference...
Uh oh! Poof!
Well, that's because you're a Ranger, Zokon. ^_^
And I'm an Elf.
We may feel fancy calling it "Slayer(Sniper)/Fighter(Weapon Master(Bow))" or "Magus(Bladebound, Soul Forger)" but we're a Ranger and an Elf, in the end...
*smiles*
Death/Paralyzation/Poison right? Or maybe that's just the 2e group. Must admit most of my old dnd knowledge is from the crpgs which while very fun don't use the oldest rules :-)
If I remember correctly, that's AD&D, Illthir, original D&D was Poison/Deathray - Paralysis was grouped with Turn to Stone(which in AD&D was with Polymorph).
Oh, you know, TECHNICALLY...enlarge person is not instantenous, but rather has a duration. So a point could be made that all equipment picked up is affected as per "All equipment worn or carried by a creature is similarly enlarged by the spell."
The enlargement is, after all, a duration effect. If Enlarge Person is active and one passes through an antimagic-field, reasonably the magic being suppressed means one shrinks while in the field. But once the field is exited, enlargement should resume. The effect is continually powered after all.
(Also, just messing with you after the web spell. I'll eat the -2 for attack(wrong size) and damage(from die size). Invisibility specifically states that newly picked up items need to be hidden mundanely. But then, if Invisibility states that as an exception and enlarge person does not...*grins*)
"McHale!" {shakes fist!} "Who's navy is this anyway? I'll bust you down to half-elf you keep this up!"
Isn't theere a penalty for performing a combat maneuver on someone bigger? Ie Alia is large atm and blue dwarf is not.
That's already factored into the CMD.
Alia got a net +1 to CMD for getting Large, and then +2 for Bull's Strength. Still not enough, he hit CMD 24 to Disarm her.
Gah! You kids today! The only downside to the cleric, Durgan, was that they got no spells at 1st level. Had to wait until level 2 to get that first coveted cure light wounds.
I cut my teeth on the Holmes basic set (the one with the dragon on the cover with the fighter and wizard in the foreground). However, if memory serves, that disparity was also present in Moldvay's version. In fact, I think it remained such until Metzner did his ruleset.
Damnit, you guys are making me want to run an original D&D campaign on here! I have fond memories of those days.
I was going to attempt running Jason Bulmahn's update of the Red Box (my into to D&D, before that I played Iron Crown Enterprises' Middle-Earth Role-Playing game) introductory adventure from the last print copy of Dungeon Magazine, Kill Bargle! in the Pathfinder 2ed Playtest rules, but just haven't gotten around to it. :(
I suppose we could always update (down-date?) our game. Serena of course will have to live with being just a fighter (like Zokon--there aren't any rangers after all) until 9th level before becoming a paladin, or else just stick with cleric for her whole career. Multi-classing bah! Where's the sense of commitment these days?
I'm gonna try to post tonight, but it might be tomorrow I'm going to be away from most of my easy-to-use resources for much of the day.

What Durgan said above. Blue has a racial feat that allows him to use his hydraulic push spell/undine spell-like ability for more than just bull rushing.
That same moment, her thoughts are interrupted by a painful slash spreading diagonally across her back.
Fine, but that's how I always die in fighting games.
Hey, I'm simply pragmatic. Nobody knows what will happen next. If Numalar or Arbalasti decide to carpet-bomb the area? I wouldn't want my epilogue to read "Died from a kick to the shin". -_-
That said, it was clearly an inside job. I had no time to even get shield up. The dwarves have slower movement speed and they had time to buff up. Nasty guys. Oh well, here's hoping things turn out ok.

How about the spleen then? I can make you a deal on something gastrointestinal. Two for one.

Tell me about it, have you seen Durgan lately? ;)
Yeah, Durgan was casting defensive buffs when he wasn't sure if we were actually going to fight these guys or not. Seemed a good use for his standard actions.
Is there any dwarf but Arbalesti still ontop of that tower?
If not I'm going to try some shenanigans
edit: Also that clip inspired me! All we need to do to get Alia back, should the worst happen, is pour a bunch of cats on her!
Or maybe squirrels or something if we want more power ... :P
The black dwarf is on the tower with Arbalasti, there is at least one other in the tower (purple) with a crossbow.

Numalar will have to jump off the parapet to get into burning hands range with most of these guys.
Mind you, he is small. He could bounce. :)
I still want to glitterdust Hotspur if anyone can figure out where he is. Invisibility gives a huge big bonus to stealth but if he is moving around that negates some of them.
Numalar, Durgan has Invisibility Purge up, so that's a 25' radius where Hotspur is not. Durgan will try to move around to catch Hotspur in the radius once he deals with these guys in his way.
I'm worried about him heading for the boats. If he believes that the gate is actually closed, that seems like the most reasonable escape route.
With a bit of luck someone close to the portcullis quick release believes Illthir and seals the gate for real. Then I can be more helpful!
How many arrows can I generally carry, assuming an intelligent number..
20? 40?
I've been keeping track of my arrows and adding back any that have been recovered, but I have considerably more listed in my gear than 40
only fired 7 or so arrows this fight.. i'm running low on standard arrows and shall have to dip into cold irons soon
Sorry!
Pardon my slowness, just hard to find something useful to do right now I feel.
There's a parapet on both side of the wall - Illthir will move a bit to the left so she's covered from the archer tower. She'll be right above the green outline (which I assume is one floor down).
Question - there's no easy way down into the gatehouse from here is there?
The stairs in question go from the 50' tall wall-top battlements down to the 40' tall roof of the cathedral.
The fastest way to get down to the gate house (besides gravity, and maybe climbing) is to get to one of the stairs that connect the battlements to the courtyard.
@Stairs - Mm sad but not unexpected.
Follow-up: the murder holes. Are they accessible from up here? Might be a better spot if one were to climb down - a bit of cover vs the crossbows at least!
@Rope - Illthir has rope in her backpack. I don't think she has her backpack however :(

The murder holes set in the floor above the covered portion of the gate are meant to shoot arrows and pour hot oil through. You can't squeeze through them (or accidentally fall through them). You'd be able to get through them if you were ferret-sized.
Conveniently, Scarlet is currently climbing down a rope right in front of you. Yay!
Some of them also features the 'drop large rock' functionality so I thought I might just ask : )
But good point about the rope-bringing Scarlet!
Jeez. What is it with you people and caution. Just jump down, like a cat Elf would!
Never fear, Scarlet's here!
Um, what do I do now?
Hum, before you worry about the nature of the rope, you might want to double-check with the current party tracking:
"__ Numalar -24 hp, dying! (constitution check)"
just saying - you are still listed at 23/23, so possibly something got lost in the sequencing(such as windy escape or the likes).
And Scarlet: Get my blade! Don't let them hurt my blade! If they do...the future will see a situation much more complicated than the current one.
While Numalar is on the upper 70% of the rope he would be in range for Illthir's Gallant Inspiration. That's an extra 2d4 to his skill check (and it's an intermidiate action so Illthir can actually cast it! Yey!).
But ... Can't cast another spell while concentrating so that would mean the Silent Image would drop. But maybe it's time for that anyhow?
Alia, does Scarlet know you're obsessed with that weapon? Otherwise she would think weapons are replaceable. Also, looking for your blade involves leaving your body here when Hotspur still isn't accounted for- no good.
Yes, yes I think you'd know.
And for the record, I'm not obsessed.
I just spend a lot of time maintaining it, holding it close and generally making sure it's always near me and in peak condition.
That said, when we were kidnapped(in Kressles camp) we already had such a situation. That weapon is very important!
I also see your point, though...
Gee I was really hoping Alia would keep her sword-stroking in private. Guess not :P
You'd hear it, anyway.
Alia makes a lot of noise when sword-stroking.
Working at an Anvil usually does.
So that's not a secret.
But then, you have no idea if there is bean-flicking as well so some things are definitely private enough.
I know how you feel. I'm taking tomorrow off just to have time to vote. I'll give folks have to take an action until tomorrow.
Well, that may depend on how liberally you interpret the definition of 'government'. I guess the Stag Lord also does have a 'government' of sorts in place.
You do understand that no matter who you vote for, someone always manages to form a government.
Nah-uh. Have you seen the Democrats when they've been "in charge" of things lately?

Just to put it in writing: I advocate we use Bank to get everybody a Potion of Cure Light Wounds after this.
The wand is nice for OOC healing, but in situations such as now it would mean Scarlet would have my own and her potion available to feed me - :)
I believe Old Bokken owes you a potion bounty....
Falling into water doesn't seem very dangerous in the Pathfinder world. But the Silent Image is down at least (assuming non-lethal damage triggers concentration. Probably would qualify for violent motion as well :P).
Yes. Yes, it does.
Well Num, don't get your hopes up.
I suggested him exactly the same thing, in less fancy words, and he seemed heavily disinclined to accept the proposal :)
Well, you also pointed an estoc in his face after trying to jump on his Superhorse.
Now, where's that medic?
