You can't use it on yourself because you don't have the immediate / swift action left that is required to make the escape artist roll.

Sure, I sm alright with keeping awesome roll. :)

Ah, conservation of immediate actions. Sure, a good enough reason as any. I guess they got rid of the language allowing converting immediate actions to standard actions à la 3.5.

For giggles, I'm pretty sure 2nd ed had a spell that does what l was trying to so, but it was an "epic" (10th level) spell.

Edit: scratch that, I was thinking 3.5 epic spell "Let Go Of Me" - truth in naming.

No day job for mr smug self-important sorcerer.

day job,craft weapons: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

note - Varian is on slow progression.

I promised to run Fellnight Queen, didn't I?

Well, it might take me a wee bit to get going. I will probably spin off another thread, to help me keep things straight.

No problems, that'll be best.

As far as Shilyn goes, play without until we hear back agsin from the player?

As far as Shilyn goes, play without until we hear back again from the player?

That is probably the best solution. Do we want to recruit a 5th player? With Mahasi gone we are lacking in the arcane department.

I have some options I think. Gotta take a look at the PCS I have in that range

I would like to switch to my lvl 7 elven ranger archer with Roc companion for the next module.

Deaglan has some other matters to attend to if you do not mind him leaving for a bit. He will be back in Thornkeep for the final push and be level 7 at the time.

A survival inclined character would be highly appropriate for Realm of the Fellnight Queen.

@Deaglan: Sounds good!

Chronicles are almost ready; I'm waiting back on a question from Quarr so I can report the scenario and send them out to you :)

Finally, I have 4 level PCs in range for this module

Cadaeacus, a cleric/Envoy of Balance of Pharasma. His shtick is channeling and when he heals with his channel, those healed get a d20 reroll.

Cornelius Bunbury, a Hospitalier/Oath of Charity paladin of Sarenrae. His goal is healing, either through channels or super powerful Lay on Hands heals.

Oriandor Coronalis, a magus/rogue going into Arcane Trickster. Wish I had level 7 on him already for his level 2 spell.

Mathias Kelythis, wizard going Hellknight Signifier.

I'm leaning towards Oriandor since he'll be some arcane and some rogue-ness. Any other input?

Info sent :)

Already on my way home; I'll send out stuff tomorrow!

Finally have the game reported and chronicles have been emailed out! Please let me know if there are any errors to correct!

Awesome. Thanks! That bumped Quarr up to level 9

Awesome. Thanks! That bumped Quarr up to level 9

Just being curious here: how do you do that with a lvl 7 that receives 3XP ?

BPC: thanks! Looks good to me.

I think Quarr had some GM credit, too :P One of the reasons we won't be seeing Quarr in Felknight Queen!

Had a chronicle from the Rise of The Runelords campaign waiting on him. Hook Mountain massacre is lvl range 8-10 so couldn't apply it until he bumped up to 8.

I do have other characters if you still have room. I have a nagaji ninja/sorcerer that will be level 6 once we kill this boss we are on. I also have a level 7 mystic theurge

Oh yes we'll need you Quarr!

I have a variety of PC's, too. I think either one of your PCs will fit in nicely.

Thanks Quarr, I should have thought of that option.

Well, I made a thread at least. That's a good first step, right?

That's a great first step!

And it can be found here

...sorry, half asleep right now. Yes, that is the link.

Hey, I can't play this with Mahasi; I'm going to pregen Ezren and apply it to:

7514-18

Busy days for me, will be up again on Monday!

Sorry guys! I'm doing prep for running our local con that starts tomorrow; I will probably be quiet until Monday. Thank you for your patience!

I have limited time the next two weeks to post, please bot me if neccesary

BPC - how are we doing here ... I mean in terms of completion of the module... do we have much left? Varian is signed up for a game in the pbp game day, but it starts on the 27th, and I need to let the GM know if he's actually gonna be free to play... I'm getting the strong impression we have a lot left to do still here.

Oh yes, there is a LOT to do. You haven't even gotten to the fun part :) Lore is free now if she may be a suitable replacement at leaat.

Lore is busy with her own mod... so I'm gonna back out of wonders in the weave ... thanks for getting back to me on it.

No worries, sorry about that. I will say, this is usually the second longest of the Thornkeep modules due to the advanced combats.

Just so you know, I will be at Strategicon all weekend (Friday-Monday evening). Probably won't be home til late Monday. I will try to keep up with posts via phone and computer at the hotel, but I will be mega-busy at the con, so no guarantees. Please bot my character as necessary to keep the game flowing... Thanks, and sorry in advance for my absence.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll try not to have Varian skinned like the tiger, but no promises ;)

I will be traveling for work 9/15 - 10/2, and then attending a wedding 10/5 - 10/10. I will likely be available to post intermittently.

Thanks for the heads up!

Likewise, I'll be out of town from 9/16-9/18, so I may or may not be doing any GM posting over that period, but I typically don't post over weekends anyway so that shouldn't be a good deal.

Alright, so just so no one feels too strange about it... to keep Deaglan playing, Togarin is going to make an undead ally to join you, which I'll allow Deaglan to control. It's weird and outside the normal scope of the scenario, but with the way things are, it's the only way to allow the Deaglan's player to help finish the rest of this.

I'm going to spend the day going over a fair, but suitable undead for him to play, probably a zombie or skeleton lord so it can at least use the weapons and armor.

Is everyone ok with this?

Varian might have a few qualms in character but he can get over them.. he's not a paladin or anything, just kinda 'ew ick undead' about it.

I as a player am all okay with it, if Deaglan is.

I am good either way. The GM asked me earlier.

If you decide you don't want to do this with an undead in tow it is also fine with me. The decision is yours to make.

Enjoy your holiday GM!

I am leaving on a retreat on Thursday the 3rd and won't be back til Sunday afternoon. I will try to keep up on my phone, but it's very hard to post using it, so please bot me as necessary to keep the game flowing. Thanks

Too sick and depressed and terrified to game right now... expect I'll be gone a day or two while I process recent events.. I WILL be back.

No worries, I understand. I still haven't finished the template NPC for Deaglan to use either; my goal for the evening. Then we can get this game back on track!

Okay, behind as usual. We will start up again on Monday. Thanks for your patience guys!

Okay, so I've said that real life has been kicking my butt lately and it's been doing that for a while still.

So Deaglan, what I want you to do is pick any level 7 pregen and use that; Togarin will piece together the pregen using the two wight bodies as well as the charred remains of Dellan. It will be an 'undead' version, so healing will be more problematic, but Togarin will offer a Inflict Light Wounds wand with 20 charges just for the purposes of healing Deaglan.

But this keeps things balanced as after two tries, I was too powerful and the other was too weak, so pregen should keep things fair and equal.

Also, I may be botting Sindar for a bit as he's been out for a while now (including in other games I have).

Sound good for all?

Sounds good. I think I will adopt the Warpriest, as his build is in line with my own. If divine magic is an issue I can also pick the slayer.

With Gorum being neutral, I'm actually okay with that :) I'd even say your channels/heals are negative energy for your own purposes with that.

Happy 2017!

Hey guys, so more personal stuff on my end: going through the process of a divorce and now needing to find a new home. I am hoping sooner than later, but I won't be able to GM effectively for a while. I will do what I can when I can, but things are not good for me currently. Wish me luck to finally get things together and get back into this like I should. Thanks again for your patience.
