Hey everyone, my home is expecting a nasty winter storm and I may lose power and be unable to post. We already had the power blink off this morning before the nasty stuff arrived. If I don't post, please bot me as needed to keep the game moving.
Stay warm!

FYI, I will be away from computers for most of the day Saturday (US/Pacific time). Will be able to catch up late that evening.

I'm at a conference Thursday-Sunday so I will be a little quieter. Will try to continue posting at least once a day.

Is my character supposed to know what it means to be a hellknight? I’m still pretty new to the game, so I don’t know, other than it sounds like a bad thing.
GM Dennis

Your character would know the basics Hellknights, at least. They are not inherently evil, but it is rather suspicious, at least, to find one in this situation.
| Mr Tiggles |
I honestly expected at least one miss from Mr.Tiggles so we could keep the fight going another round (if this drops it again) but apparently the raptor has a personal grudge against hydras.

As long as it doesn't die I'm fine with it..gives us some more time to heal ourselves..if it does die we just have to bluff the crowds that it's getting back up again for a round and then just hack it to pieces after we've earned our pay
Telos Downshot

We promise to not feed you to the hydra! Get better!

Sorry all, I've been having massive problems with the site, won't let me post (keeps going down during).
GM Dennis
|
Sorry for the delay this evening, folks, between the site problems and my F2F game I wasn't able to get anything up this afternoon/evening.
Start thinking about what challenge you want to do next. One way or another we're just about done with this one.

Just a heads up, I'm going to be away on a camping trip next weekend. So I'll be away from computers and probably with a bad phone signal all day Feb 10 & 11, US/Pacific time. I will likely be able to catch up late on the 11th.
GM Dennis
|
No worries. Can you please at some point between now and then add a "Bot me" spoiler to your profile with simple instructions on how you would like to be botted? Even better would be to include combat rolls that I can copy/paste (like this, for example). I'm not sure exactly what will be happening at that moment, but it's good PbP practice anyway.
Telos Downshot
|
Yes, I'll add something later today (basically expand his "Tactics" section with actual rolls).

Added.

Sorry for the actionless day, all. The timing worked out where we just didn't have enough time for another mission. The auction should start in the next 12-14 hours, though, so action soon enough!
Deenha

Might I suggest that everyone uses the time to make sure they know what daily use abilities they still have for today? A lot still will happen in this game world day.
Roven Bluntaxe
|
I have none of my daily abilities left ;-)
Telos Downshot
|
3 elemental rays and 3 1st-level spells left. Roughly half.
Zekuli
|
My channels are used up, and one of my three level 1 spells. I don't have a wand of CLW either, but luckily we seem to have quite a few of those around.
Telos Downshot
|
Good to see the bot'ing wasn't necessary (mostly due to Roven auto-cleaving everything, wow). I'm back!
GM Dennis
|
The timing worked out perfectly, it seems.
Zekuli
|
Double checking my understanding of the rules... with a 20ft movement speed, I get a -2 to all skill checks? That means I'll have a -6 to all the physical skills, even if I put away the shield. I guess I could cast Guidance on myself, if I take a round to do it.
It's not impossible, but I have a feeling I'll end up hanging out at the rear, cheering on the speedy folks. Or having fun narrating how awful Zekuli is at this whole business.
Deenha
|
Deenha has pretty good odds of moving forward, because she only takes -2, and is high dex and good skills, so you could send Mr. Tiggles with her with a defend trick, maybe.
I did miss that -2, but would still move forward.
GM Dennis
|
Yeah, "Defend Deenha" is a good solution.
GM Dennis
|
Yeah, I'm sorry the skill checks in this section are so punative. It seems balanced for the higher-level tables.
GM Dennis
|
Each card is roughly 30ft distance. A creature more than 3 cards away has total cover and total concealment. Creatures 3 cards away have improved cover and concealment. Creatures 2 cards away have partial cover and concealment. Creatures 1 card away only have partial cover.

and if one fired into the crowd at him, I imagine there would have to be some chance of inadvertently hitting an unintended target.
GM Dennis
|
What? This is Pathfinder! All arrows automatically hit either the enemy or the nearest harmless patch of ground, regardless of geometry!
Telos Downshot
|
hehe. aside from splash weapons, yeah. more just curious if there were special rules for this scenario.
GM Dennis
|
Not in that regard. Just the cover/concealment stuff I posted at the beginning of the chase.
Deenha
|
Ughh, these chase rules make no sense. During the chase, I was 60 ft away from the assasin. Now, I'm 100 ft away. And that's after the abstraction of being unable to act last turn so that I could get closer!
GM Dennis
|
Hm... that's a good point. The scenario says you appear on the western edge of the map, but I don't see why that should add distance between you based on my choice of map placement. I'll move you forward a bit and say that you started 60 ft. away. Telos, I'll assume that means you double-moved instead of taking the run action, so you wouldn't be flat footed.
