Enjoy Kuwait, for what it's worth.
Neri will go ahead and use his healing spell on himself to top himself off.
I guess we're going back down without the travel montage, as the majority wants to head back down.
Hmm, looks like this hasn't moved in a few days, MDT, were you still traveling? In any case, Lina's also fine with following the group, although she suggests going back down the branch we already explored to some degree.
Yeah, that was Neri's plan as well. 'Map suggests there's not a lot more in this direction'. I've just been going with 'MDT's probably super busy.'
MDT is super busy in Kuwait. I'm 9 hours ahead of you guys, and the weekend here is Friday/Saturday, so my posting is odd.
On top of that, I've been exhausted all week from the 24.5 hours of travel just getting here, so work, hotel, sleep, work, hotel, sleep.
Managed to get in a tiny bit of sightseeing.
Will be posting more regularly for next two days, then back to slow posting until the 29th, then back to normal schedule in the states.
:P Hopefully you're having a good time between the work-sleep you're doing. :)
No worries! Real life comes first, and we c'wait.
Luna is currently having internet problems. They're not going to get it fixed until probably monday.
All enjoyed their ritual sacrifices yesterday, I trust? :)
Did you even get thanksgiving, MDT?
I did.
Lunch was the traditional stuff face, and then BBQ brisket and Elgin sausage for dinner!
Man I want brisket now. I've never been a fan of the traditional goodies. Rolls, gravy, cranberry-anything. Yum. Turkey, any kind of 'salad'... etc, yuck.
Lol...Wednesday I had a half-pound brisket sandwich from Franklin's...imagine brisket so good that people were already in line when we got there at 8 am - like 25 - 30 people - and Franklin's opens at 11:00...
I didn't even know I liked the stuff til I had a sandwich at a franchise restaurant (firehouse subs). The stuff melted in my mouth. I always thought the phrase was stupid in relation to most foods... but the sandwich was just -that good-. It hasn't been that good since... but I keep hoping.
Well, if you ever visit Austin...bring patience...and cash. That was a $10. sandwich.
My net is back so I should be able to post more when things speed up

I'll try to get something up tonight, but no promises. I'll be back in the states again Thursday Night, so if not tonight, Friday. Sorry again.
Addendum : No thanksgiving for me. I did get beef bacon though, which was awesome, haven't had beef bacon since I was 14. Just that stupid turkey bacon nonsense.
:P I think we just do pork bacon around here. I've honestly never looked into the source. That's probably bad on my end. :P
Good to know you're safe. Take your time, we'll be here. Probably. Maybe.
No worries! We had an American holiday to entertain us. Also, I thought Austin was supposed to be the affordable hipster city?
For a half pound of prime, freshly cooked meat on probably delicious bread with probably amazing fixings? Yes, 10 dollars is affordable :P
Not cheap, mind you, but there's only one Franklin's.
MDT - you familiar with Franklin's?
I couldn't post until recently anyway so I'm fine with waiting
Sorry everyone, I had a family emergency Friday afternoon. And then another one Sunday morning. I'm a bit shellshocked. I may be a bit spotty this week on posting.
I PM'd Jacob again. Unfortunately, with his dex and no ranks in acrobatics, he'll have to roll to make the DC15 acrobatics to cross the chasm with the rope and Luna's aid. So moving too far forward may be bad, if he's still interested in RPing.
I've PM'd him as well. He's still on the boards, and posted as recently as Sunday on an alt. So if I don't hear from him this week, I'll remove him from the game. I understand I was gone for 2-3 weeks, but I gave plenty of warning. I really hate when people drop out without posting they are dropping out.
On the bright side, he hasn't been heard from since we went to the surface, so 'He stays on the surface with the villagers and the inn' is totally a thing.
Kind of funny: after two hours of sleep, Neri will be entirely ready to go again. :p. Meanwhile, Lina's gonna need her beauty sleep of 8 hours. :p
I mean, we can take more than 8 hours to rest, since there's no day-night cycle here, but I figure we can be productive about it as long as we don't get completely separated.
IMO, just get muleback cords and a cart. Have Neri drag everyone around while they sleep. (Not that I think that would allow Neri to have the strength to drag the party. But it'd be pretty funny, from my perspective)
Sorry everyone, we're on break until after christmas. I've been sick for a week, bronchitus. Doctor gave me a z-pak (alergic to penicilin) and it's wiping me out. I'll be dragging bottom for at least 3 more days, and that takes us to X-Mas, so we're on break until next week. Sorry, collapsed last night and slept all day Saturday.
Get well soon! And, that's a shame. I had laryngitis recently (and an ear infection at the same time), and was on the same stuff... but apparently it's supposed to have the lowest side-effect rate of any of the common antibiotics, so, dang.
I don't react well to antibiotics, which is why I don't take them unless I have to.
Same reaction to the flu shot, the shot is almost as bad as the flu itself.
Sleep well. :)
Is retraining still allowed and if it's allowed is it able to change ararchetypes?
Never used it before so I might need help
Retraining is how Neri retrained his archetype. The higher level you are, the longer it takes, as it works off of how many class features you're dropping/gaining. It's -really- annoyingly long for major changes.
Yeah, you can retrain.
I retrained Lina into a different archetype when I took her over, and I changed her feats around when she got Harry's hammer.
Subtract 4 from Neri's damage on that last attack. I've updated his sheet to reflect the changes. :)
What kind of knowledge check should we make to try to figure out vulnerabilities or how to break its regen/fast healing?
Kn(Dungeoneering)
Moving to discussion page. Lina can't outrun this thing in her armor, so she's going to make one more round of attacks; maybe Neri and Luna should delay until after her turn to see if running becomes necessary?
if he attacks luna that will give you an extra round so you can run which is x4 your movement, you just have to find something small enough he cant get in
also I think there is an ability from mythic that gives you an extra move
Oh, there is... I just didn't take that one. (I think Neri has it? Lina assumed she'd never need to run when not mounted). But it's 4x 20, which is 80 feet; if he's got a base speed of 35', his reach will let him catch up on a charge. Also running reduces AC. But if he's not almost dead, I will probably change my opinion on this.
if it chases sure but if luna stays in range he wont have a reason to assuming no one pisses him off enough to make him ignore her
I dont understand did lina get to attack before me and neri?
Well, it only had 20 hp left before it lost consciousness, since all 3 of you got to go first, and she would absolutely kill it, I didn't see any reason to hold up the game for 20 hp. The bigger problem is to stop it from getting back up again.
We could drag it to the campfire while someone bashes its head with a hammer every six seconds, but I'm not sure if our characters can figure that out.
Will the thing completely reform all at once, or can we actually continually deal damage to it to keep it down until we find an answer? If the latter, Luna could probably make an acid flask pretty easily to burn it away.
It seems to reform all over. However, it isn't fast enough that you can't keep damaging it.
With take 10, Luna could make 4.8 acid flasks in a shift... so we'd have to keep it down for something like 4-5 hours to kill it. That's assuming 5 day work week, and her going at double the speed. Ugh.
Actually, Neri hasn't prepped spells today, so aside from his level 2 and a level 1 spell, I can still prepare spells. So I could swap out prestidigitation with acid splash, over the course of fifteen minutes... I guess that's our only bet, as I don't think anyone else has acid effects at the ready?
How tiring would it be for Lina to bludgeon the thing for 15 minutes while he prepares his acid spell? Would it have a negative effect on her? If so, what if the other three played whack-a-troll?
