@Tegan
Well, not sure yet. I might go clothes shopping. I'm still waiting the airport answer about things and what they'll do about the missing luggage.
I haven't updated yet, because Djebelle being a clerig might want to step in and do something, and frankly speaking, Jhod can't do s+++ at the moment, he's out of cures and channels.
It's snowing and sticking here in Virginia! Very pretty and super exciting! (And earlier than I expected for our first snowfall.)
We have had snow here since October..lol Around a few feet or so..and more coming on the way! Merry Christmas
Has not started here in Poughkeepsie, New York yet, but supposed to get 1-3 inches tomorrow.
We are about 80 miles north of NYC along the Hudson River.
Damiel, do you have the New York accent? How far does the NY accent extend from the city?
I'm live in the suburbs about fifteen minutes Northwest of Richmond, Virginia.
We're even getting snow here in Mississippi. Christmas time is here!
@Tegan - Nope, no accent. Born / raised in New Jersey, outside NYC. College in Boston (wife from that area). US Army - Georgia, Kansas. Work - Chicago, Dearborn MI, Lexington KY, and finally here in NY.
Any accent I had is long gone.....
Hey, let's travel to india to get bedsick and feeling like you are about to die any moment!
Posting should be more consistent now, sorry for the delay.
Some Updates:
*I survived the dinner with the company President, and I had no idea such thing would happen, I didn't have appropriate clothes for the occasion. :D
*They gifted me a couple of traditional Indian clothes; they are awesome, looks good and very comfortable. I'm even thinking of getting some more on my own...
*There's a comic con happening here in New Delhi!! 10km from the hotel I'm staying, and of course, I'm going :D
*All the spice in food is killing meeeeeee....
*I'll be traveling back to brazil next Wednesday.
Apart from that, we'll make a short break in the game, from December 22 to January 3rd, so you guys can properly enjoy end of year festivities and family.
Free clothes?! I'm jealous.
I'll be out of town starting tomorrow until the 23rd but I'll be able to post normally from my phone.
Sounds pretty cool, DM, I'm jealous!
That sounds awesome!
I'm all for the break, sorry for absence. Posting now.
FYI - Sunday December 24th thru Thursday December 28th, I will be unavailable, so no posting during that time. Lots of church, lots of local family and friends and three days in Boston with wife's family.
A little bit too late but:
Merry Xmas and happy new year everyone. :)
Merry Christmas to you, as well!
Hope you all had a great holiday! The New Year is just around the bend!
Hey, hello!
Hope you guys had a wonderful time with Family and friends, but alas, the forces of evil that plan to take over the greenbelt has remained inactive for far too long!
I’ll update the game later today. Also, welcome back everyone. :)
Yay!
HNY to all!
Does the hex we're in count as explored yet? If not, we should explore that before moving on.
@Djebelle
No, it's not explored. You were moving quickly towards the shrine, thus no exploration on the area.
Understood - in that case, let's explore this hex before moving on to any others.
Agreed.
Vacation was longer than expected, but great. Hope everyone had a good holiday that they celebrate, as for wife and myself, we had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Onwards with gaming!
It's nice to have everyone back!
I'm fine with exploring the map as we go. I don't have a preference.

Plot twist: the wild boar is a she. BOW CHIKA WOW WOW.

The boar looked coyly at the invaders up in the tree, winking to them in a charming way, inviting them to a melee action! (I only want to eat your entrails! Don't need to hide!)

Deciding to 'take one' for the team, Vik turns on some soft jazz and breaks open a bottle of wine.
"So, do you wallow here often??"
Sorry... been having internet connection issues (plus phone issues because of course everything happens at once).
Back now, hopefully.
You can roll your attack, with a +1 bonus (for higher ground), then when calculating the damage, you'll deal 2x damage. On a critical, that will improve to 3x instead of 4x.
But the description needs to be cool!
Hylaen hasn't posted in a while. Did they stop playing?
Moving from now on:
I’ve been waiting (a lot) on the last couple of days until everyone has chimed in the game to move things forward and as consequence, the game has become very slow (most of it my fault, sorry). So, to fix this, I’ll return to my ‘daily’ schedule. I’ll update the game most likely around 9AM and 9PM GTM-2 (Brazilian summer time).
During normal RP there isn’t much problem, because the player can ‘catch up’ in RP when he is back, but during combat, on the first day the player will ‘delay’ his action, and on the second day which he hasn’t posted I’ll DMPC him.
If anyone has any other suggestion how to approach this, please point it out. :)
@About Hylaen
I'm not sure. It's been some time since I talked with her, she's been out of reach for a couple of weeks now.
"Nice work! Usually such beasts fly into a frenzy even after receiving a killing blow, but your strike managed to fell it instantly."
Damn. I knew I was forgetting something. :(
Well, if you get them into the 'dead dead' vicinity, it doesn't trigger, so maybe it's ok? It probably would have went down before it's action in round 1, anyway, so no worries. :)
I've added a landmark to the map: GoldMines, which you guys haven't 'discovered it yet'.
It'll be something you find on your way back while exploring. I've added the stars to the map, before I found out that collecting the berries is a bit more complicated than it first appears. I want to see who'll be the brave soul that will brave the fangs of the berries and gather them!
@Djebelle
Also, you can post your full round one action, since you are the first one in the initiative.
Oops!
I went to bed earlier and forgot about the map.
My bad.
Okay guys, I've set up a map on tactical map link, ignore the ruins, and the bad quality of the map, I'm at work so it makes a little bit harder to get this stuff.
We don't see the spiders?
Oh, the spiders are there, they are just kinda... blending in with the map.
I'll change the token in a couple of hours, as well move along the combat.
Humm, okay.
Since I forgot to put out the enemy information yesterday, you guys can consider you 'automatically' pass the knowledge check about swarm.
Here's what to know about them:
Swarm Traits: A swarm has no clear front or back and no discernable anatomy, so it is not subject to critical hits or flanking. A swarm made up of Tiny creatures takes half damage from slashing and piercing weapons. A swarm composed of Fine or Diminutive creatures is immune to all weapon damage. Reducing a swarm to 0 hit points or less causes it to break up, though damage taken until that point does not degrade its ability to attack or resist attack. Swarms are never staggered or reduced to a dying state by damage. Also, they cannot be tripped, grappled, or bull rushed, and they cannot grapple an opponent.
A swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single-target spells such as disintegrate), with the exception of mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms) if the swarm has an Intelligence score and a hive mind. A swarm takes half again as much damage (+50%) from spells or effects that affect an area, such as splash weapons and many evocation spells.
Swarms made up of Diminutive or Fine creatures are susceptible to high winds, such as those created by a gust of wind spell. For purposes of determining the effects of wind on a swarm, treat the swarm as a creature of the same size as its constituent creatures. A swarm rendered unconscious by means of nonlethal damage becomes disorganized and dispersed, and does not reform until its hit points exceed its nonlethal damage.
@Tegan
The spider swarm is made of Diminutive creatures, and your attack is a 'single target attack' and because of that, it doesn't affect the swarm. You can 'redo' your action if you want.
Is Crystal Blast also single target? The magic is a bit confusing in Spheres of Power.
I would suggest throwing a torch but then it might burn the bushes :(
As a rule of thumb:
Every attack/magic that needs an "Attack" roll, is a single target attack, the exception being the alchemist bomb and alchemist fire-like substances.
Tegan will keep her round 1 the same for simplicity's sake. Maybe she doesn't know much about arachnids
Sorry, was sure I'd posted! Must have hit preview instead.
@DM: are you going to allow energy damage to affect the swarm?
For example, if I make my scimitar Flaming, would the fire do damage to the swarm even though the scimitar itself wouldn't?
@Djebelle and Rendyl.
The actual damage for the weapon will not count, but the fire damage will count as half, for a minimum of one.
So, the torch should deal 1 damage.
And Djebelle Scimitar should deal half the fire damage.
Got it, thanks!
I've been trying to update, but everytime I tried to access the site was I getting error said the site was offline.
I'll move things later today.
with not even mama badger to disturb the nights rest
