I think since Mal is dead I should make a frontliner. We don't have one and I have not played one in some time. I will take a look through the book and see what I come up with though I am leaning towards pure Fighter. I don't think I have played a pure fighter since the early '90's :-)
Remember to loot his body folks, he has 8 potions of cure light wounds that can help the party! A burial in the woods makes sense as he is a Ranger.
as I asked, if he really dead? he had 11 hit points last I looked (Though you don't keep track of the current hp) and if you don't want him to die I have something up my sleeve. -10 is horrid, back to old 3.5 standards, plus this temple is...interesting :). Not giving away any surprises, but if you don't want to die then there is a good chance he's still alive. If not, well I can't force you to keep playing a character.
Was Malstei injured before that last attack? Just following on the IC thread, and I can't find where he was hurt previously (which means nothing except possibly I can't read).
If he wasn't injured, he should have 10 HP to start, and then therefore be at -7?
However, if you do reroll a new character, Dennis, Fighters are fun in Pathfinder, I must say.
Can't remember but he might've hit by one before.
I agree about fighters. Can even make a duel-weilding fighter to kick ass.
If the option exists to keep him I would rather keep him. I took damage the round before when I charged at the zombies. That is why I am at -12.
I will hold off on the new character if Mal can escape death :-)
With me there's always a way for various reasons:
1. I don't feel comfortable killing a 1st level character, those zombies were rolling like Ninjas!
2. It's unfair to put all the effort into a character for it to die at the begining of a campaign.
3. I'm a softy.
4. It also eliminated the hassle of generating another character and trying to intergrate him/her back into the campaign.
Is it Zombie's turn on Round 5?
Is it Zombie's turn on Round 5?
Just been looking at the damage and...no because your dogs just tore it to peices.
Huzzah for the dogs!
Not to mention one serpent that did an incredible job ;>
Now, let's see how many lives we can save of this party.
Definitely a wand of cure light wounds will be good. We'll have to wait and see after we search this place out some more before deciding how much we have in funds to work with.
Do we explore everything up top first or take the stairs down behind the altar?
Magically, I'm still full to go on and my crew is in good shape.
How are the rest of you?
Whisper only has 4 hit points right now. On the other hand, she's only as tough as a 1st level 3.5 sorcerer. ;)
I am cool, however, with moving on, understanding that she is far less likely to jump into melee combat than she was last time.
I think exploring the main area first is a good idea however.
Solaria has used one 1st level spell, and has one more left...sorry it kinda got wasted when those dogs came and tore the zombies apart.
Other than that both Solaria and TzeTing are on their full HPs. Solaria is not gonna touch anything just yet, not til we know how we all feel.
What sort of zombies did we fight then...they seemed pretty tough cookies?

Heh...they were just average zombies out of the Beastiary. Problem was I kept rolling high on the damage output. Plus being zombies they had DR5/slashing or bludeoning I believe so the arrows did nothing when one actually hit.
due to damage reduction I was trying to look up what damage type bites were and I found they were b/p/s which covers all areas so i though, sod it, and ruled that they did the damage.
If memory serves, 3.5 Ghoul's were worse. That one was a pansy.
Not sure if I've done this right, but for the monsters you should get 300xp and I'll give you a extra 200xp because that was a tough battle and the zombies were basically having a field day. Anyone looting them?
Are we on the Medium track for advancement?
Yes Medium advancement so it should be 2000xp for 2nd level.
Plus you don't instantly "Ding", I perfer for realism sake that you'd take time in training to gain whatever new abilities you get. Especially if your character was going to multi-class.
Aron, yes, if the zombies dropped anything as they were destroyed, Whisper will pick that up as she continues to look around.
How many XP do we have? 500 xp for the last fight... I know we earned some XP before (maybe another 500 total?) but I can't find it in the thread.
Yep, 1,000 total so far.
lol I should keep a exp total, but yeah that sounds about right. Halfway there then. Awesome :)
When I DM I don't keep it that's the players job :-)
See, when I DM, I'm the only person who tracks XP. I just let everyone know when they level.
So for me it's a matter of, "Oh, crap, I bet he doesn't do it the way I do, I'd better start tracking this."
1> In my RL game, I run a secret group on Facebook. One of the discussion threads is my list of XP and major treasure awards.
Since it is my private group, I have all the threads that I need to keep track of things like various character names, important details of setting locations, homebrew campaign information or house rules.
I also get to have a gallery of pics that I gather from the web and put up with new titles of information relevant to the campaign; so, players can get a feel for the enemies or sites in the campaign.
I also choose a pic for my invite to the game each week. The pic usually has some sort of hint or taunt of what is scheduled to occur for that session. This Sunday's pic is a pair of Illithid with a slave.
2> Here, I write the XP awards on my character profile, at the end along with a tag explaining how I got that award. That way if the DM asks, I can say, 'check my profile'.
Did we notice anything in our latest set of knowledge and perception roles?

nope, sorry should've said, give me a sec.
A heads up:
I am going on vacation on Tuesday, August 3. I will try to get my posting in tomorrow, but after that my posting (if any) will be sporadic through the week, till I get back Sunday night.
Please feel free to 'bot Whisper or toss her in a corner looking at shinies somewhere.

Or should could just tell everyone to "Pike off" heh, been playing Planescape quite abit.
I'll be out on a vacation Thursday to Tuesday, may get sporadic posts, but don't let Solaria hold you up. When I'm not around I will let the DM play her and TzeTing as he sees fit.

Did you get a copy of Torment? Good, isn't it? :D
Sadly, Whisper only knows Waterdhavian slang, not Sigilian. :) (Although, with her Knowledge: Planes, she may understand a little of the Sigil cant, who knows?)
How did the check by Badger go of the other door?
How did the check by Badger go of the other door?
whoops, sorry I missed that, last I remember he was in the corner where whisper smothered him with darkness. I'll get to taht in a sec.
No prob.
I thought it might have gotten missed with all the other stuff going on in the other room.
Badger just decided that with Whisper in that situation, that it was better to give some space rather then start a problem.
The use of water to pour over stonework to look for cracks and torch with smoke to look for any drafts are pretty standard tropes from any of the 'Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones' type of pulp genre.

ahh I see. Hmm...also forgot to bot Whisper.
Just a quick question.
Kobolds are racial hatred enemies of Gnomes. Gnomes get a bonus in combat against them.
Would Kyras' description of the yipping talk lead Badger to the conclusion that their might be some kobolds along with any hobgoblin (goblinoids are also racial enemies).

Yeah that's believeable. Kobolds are VERY common. Hell, I'm sure if I lived in the realms I'd probably ask some adventures to take them out because they keep breaking in and stealing food from my fridge. Damn creatures and their apposable thumbs!
But yes, you will know what they are. Hell, you'd more or less be a expert.
How are the creatures reacting to our shouting and bluff?

Solaria still away?
I would also say it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and roll initiatives and the like. I imagine the kobolds noticed all the bolts and arrows flying past their heads, marring the nice wall behind them like that.
It is very much like a Bugs Bunny Cartoon with us silhouetting the kobolds with attacks.
Solaria is back, trying hard not to damage the Kobolds too much....or was that the dice gods.
Just to warn you guys I will be going on holiday to Wales on Monday and I'll be coming back Sunday. Just to tell you all so that you know ahead of schedual and not wonder where I've dissappeared to.

Have a good vacation!
May I humbly request that if you can--understanding that you have a life--try to resolve as much of the combat rounds if you can before you leave on Monday?
As we have left it, I think all of us have posted our actions for this round. We're back to the top, but we should probably get an updated map and know if Malstei hit his target.
Thanks!!

Actually whisper has yet to act before the end of the round. All I have from you is OOC talk.
ummm...
Looks like a 5' step south west, holster crossbow and drink potion for Wisper...
It's by the center of her post.
Yeah, in case you missed it, I copied and pasted the important parts of Whisper's action (left out his explanation of the map to Mal).

Thanks Smerg. My post was a bit longwinded for what it accomplished.
BTW I'm a "her." :)
Hey have a good one in Wales, I've not been there for years. But just as important I hope this rainy stuff moves on a bit and leaves you alone for next week.

heh, guess Smerg just assumed you were a guy like I did since gamer/geeky girls are rare, no offence. Just us men being our usual brain-dead selves.
Honestly, I just use male pronouns unless I'm told otherwise.
I do try in my writing to right with neutral terms or alternate the choice from section to section of writing if doing something technical.
My apologies for doing so in this case and will try to use appropriate choices going forward.
Wishing you the best on your week in Wales.
