If my intentions were not clear, I apologize. The issue seems to be that I forgot to explicitly state that I dropped my pack on my last turn.
I will try to remember to do that from now on, but if there seems to be a movement related issue, please ask me.
I will do.
I felt that with the size of the creature it would be impossible for Anset to come to me and heal me. So I engaged again hoping I could kill it fast.
Especially after the damage reduction.
Next time don't retreat away from the cleric. :)
GOOD POINT!!!
Well maybe you will kill it before it takes another chunk out of someone.
Thats a tough enemy!
I will be out for most of the day. (Yeah the work thing is a b+&!$.) I will be back tonight to catch up on everything and move the combat forward. Hopefully everyone will be posted by then.
I'm having fun with the game too!
The maps are great. The quality was such that I figured they were from the module. Excellent!
It is a pretty tough foe we got here, especially with that DR. Hopefully it doesn't have the hit points to back it up...
Knowledge Planes check if someone wants to try and discern any information about it. DC is too high to use untrained. The higher you roll the more you know.
School just started back up for me so I might be a little sparse in posting while I get settled back in.
Long day. Please bot me as needed. Will post tomorrow.
Will update the thread shortly, just got home......
Now just waiting on Amal's actions to process the surprise round.
Since Amal did not post at all on Friday, I will DMPC his surprise round action so that I can process the round up to Anset who has delayed. Will post it shortly.
busy day. will catch up tomorrow.
Hey guys, so start of my third year really took me by surprise. I had five assignments due within a week on the first day and two research projects to start. Then I decided to go and start dating a girl at the same time (which is going well, but made what little free time I had nonexistent) I hope I will manage to post in the gameplay thread when I get home tonight and that I am now on top of things enough that I can continue to post.
Dating a girl will always been more important than an RPG.^^
I'm likewise having free time issues right now, and it will likely continue until the beginning of November.
I apologize for the delays. I will try to get a post in today. If I am holding things up, please bot me as needed.
Slow posting day I see.... ???
Sorry for the delay, was really busy yesterday. Game thread has been updated.
It has been over a week now since we have had a post from either Malik or Amal.
At this time I feel like we should replace both players in the game. Please give me everyone's opinion before I post in the recruiting thread.
I can either DMPC the current two until the group heads back into Wati then bring in new players or we can go ahead and swap them out now.
I also need to know what class types would you like to see recruited in their place. Do you want another arcane caster and a rogue?
Both type (arcane and rogue) could be helpful. You're the GM, so do as you wish. Being an GM myself in a game that has seen two defections, it's never an easy decision.
Well Bjoern is a decent trapfinder. Our Elf alchemist is our fountain of information. I think we can work with what we have.
BUT... What I really miss are people to keep the story flowing.
Saedue has decent Perception and Disable device bonus too (+6 on both). So maybe we could do without a rogue after all.
I agree with Bjoern, less people Rping hurts the game.
I have some really good RPers in my Way of the Wicked game, maybe I will see if we can get one or two of them over here.
Should we have a "go back to town" scene before continuing on with the next level? That seems like the smoothest transition to bring new people in.
The ideal candidate would be willing to take control of one of the two characters we are removing (Amal or Malik) until the group finishes exploring the current tomb (About 66% done) and then bring in their new character as soon as the group returns to town proper. This would be the best way for continuity of the game.
However I will play it by ear depending on what kind of response we can get.
That would be awesome. But on the other hand. It was written for four people. With a bit of luck we should be able to do it if it takes a bit longer.
Actually I get the benefit of having run this in my home game with six players so I have all the adjustments already figured out... lol.
I also would ask that all of you keep an eye on the recruitment thread for players submissions and let me know if any of the players you may know or stand out to you as a possible replacement into the group.
We also might get Tirion Jörðhár from my Way of the Wicked group. I think he knows Dumah already from another campaign they are in.
I met him once too, but he declined to join... saying to much already to do. But that was months ago.
I know Tirion from several games we've been in together, and if he has the time and is willing, I'd absolutely advocate bringing him onboard!
I have two new players for you guys, they will be along shortly. They will be taking over the roles of Malik and Amal until the current tomb is over and then they will switch out for their new characters when the group returns to town.
One is playing a Evoker Wizard and the other a Archaeologist Bard.
Please feel fee to ask them any questions once they arrive.
Hello everyone I am Endoralis playing your neighborhood Amal for your viewing pleasure. I am the owner of the Character Raven Llanowar who will be happy to meet you all. Let's have a fun time and hope everything goes well until then.
*bows*
Now in proper character, "Less talk about me and more about your lovely experiences shall we? "
Welcome, guys! Good to have more fodder along! :)
Who seems the be the fodder now Eh, Dwarf?
Time for round 2... Everyone is up.
Done, Also getting Raven's stuff (Story, personality, completed inventory) ready so you can Hero lab it when the time is ready, I worked two shifts and am using this time NOW to reply to all my games.
I have a busy week end ahead, and probably won't be able to post. Will do my best.
Who seems the be the fodder now Eh, Dwarf?
In my defense, I did say more fodder. :P
I thought I'd posted a round 2 action yesterday, but clearly I didn't hit "Submit Post" or something. I'm sorry about that.
@ Dumah
No biggie, we are all waiting on Anset again anyway. lol
I know he can't do much against the construct but he is posting daily so got to give him a chance before moving on.
I posted about 12 hours ago! Sheesh! :p
Amal, you are correct that you can ready the shield as a free action as part of a regular move only with BAB +1. So theoretically Bjoern would have had to: Drop his Flail (Free), Retrieve his shield (Move that provokes), and then ready his shield (Move that doesn't provoke) and then wait until the next turn to use it.
or the way I would have done it.....
Drop Weapon (Free), 5 foot step back (Free), Retrieve Shield (Move), Equip Shield (Move)
The coffin is large but doesn't have reach.
I hate AoO's
Well it takes enough time to sheathe a blade. Let alone string a hammer that provoking is normal. You'll leave yourself wide open trying to make sure its in place. Even then, that is utterly amazing on a human scale because of the speed this is apparently happening at (6 secs). Point is, changing fighting styles while fighting requires alot of work. I believe this was one of the reasons Thrower builds NEEDED Quick draw to function and why some TWF builds also have it.
In the end it does not matter. You are all correct, but in the end I stayed with flail. It happens if I post when just woke up, this time, or have to make a quick post at work. Now with loads of leasure time, I have the time and joy to write elaborate.. Lets continue saving poor Dumah. And I hope... it was worth it with a lovely dingdingding levelup ;-)
Hopefully, A level up would mean Raven would come in a little better off and some sweet sweet bonuses. Bjoern would get another feat, Saedue a discovery, Anset more spells, Dumah a feat. Everyone of course would have more HP and saves as well.. overall fairly nice (Oh and a nice payout from the tomb most likely.) Chances are thats not happening until maybe this tomb and a little further into the AP.
Please DO NOT KILL MY HOPES! ;-)
I have a really busy day today. Please assume that I keep using Aid Another actions to help Bjorn.
