Can Seb channel a Cure spell via his invisible familiar?
Agrippa don't summon a wasp cast something useful like black tentacles. This fight would have been way different if that was your first spell. Hold until Cedric 5' steps and then bind up the barbarian and orc.
We've bumbled this encounter all over the place...for example, where's Ulf?
Sebastian was planning to hit them with lake of fire while they were still in the throne room before he was called away, which could have been huge too, reducing their chance to buff up and trapping them in that room. Instead he got GMPCd to flee
Every melee attack that hit Johan did so because I rushed out without all my armor (in my defence I was getting really, really bored), and it was my idea to try and flank them.
Eldred has had a craptastic string of dice rolls, scoring like what, 3 out of 12 hits against an unarmoured target.
lets not go casting blame.
He is a non combatant. My level 9 companion will fight and above that. He is the jungle patrolling as normal.
Not being able to smite them makes me a glorified Warrior :(
Not blaming, but it's prepared, there is a good chance they have Pro Evil communal going with the cleric so neither Ulf or any summoned creature could touch them.
Agrippa (and his player) don't really think in terms of "most tactically important" Agrippa isn't a fighter...he's a conjurer of devils and nobleman.
I don't optimize either numbers or actions.
yep, I'm frustrated too. They were prepared and we were not. I could have been wearing more armor, cast more buffs, brought my judgements online, remembered the cornugon smash on my first hit etc
At least AKU didn't crit-murder Johan like normal :>
Grumbles stats look off:
To hit = +14 (+4 BAB/ogre, +1 BAB fighter, +8 STR, +1 magic weapon)
CMB = +14 (+5 BAB, +8 STR, +1 size)
I know he is currently under the effects of Divine fervor. Was there a bless in there too?
Grumble's new strategy: Pick up the dwarf and toss him down the spire!
you were thinking in those terms when you learned the spell and memorized it for the day. If not you would have prepared nothing but summons. Sorry this sounds harsh online, I don't mean it too. I like hairy situations like this :)
To hit = +14 (+4 BAB/ogre, +1 BAB fighter, +8 STR, +1 magic weapon)
CMB = +14 (+5 BAB, +8 STR, +1 size)
In the stats Power attack is added already. That's why is 13 to hit.
The ogre unless told otherwhise, always attack with power attack.
gotcha, CMB was off though right? Stat block has it listed as +10
To hit = +14 (+4 BAB/ogre, +1 BAB fighter, +8 STR, +1 magic weapon)
CMB = +14 (+5 BAB, +8 STR, +1 size)
Also, I was wrong.
That's why it's +13 in his stats.
CMD I had it wrong. I'll fix it later.
Right, I forgot weapon focus.
You have a point. Agrippa learned the spell because he likes summoning things, giant tentacles from the Great Beyond included...
His application of that spell however, not always the best timing.
no worries, as said not angry just trying to survive :) The haste was awesome if not for that then we wouldn't even done as well as we have.
Disappearing into the wilds of northern Ontario for a much needed vacation - won't be able to post until Wed. Bot me as needed.
My plan for Grumble was to use the speed boost from Divine Fervor to fly out the horn and drop the dwarf on his head from great altitude :>
Did I kill the witch? Did Cedric with his heavy crit drop his foe?

You could (or who ever is botting you could drop the dwarf over the pit trap)... that will effectively remove him from the fight.
Ranged Throw | PA: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 23
Dmg: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Just clarifying something:
I didn't use Power attack in this attack. I was going to, but then I went to read the feat, and it only applies to melee attacks.
I was in doubt because a Javelin adds the STR modifier in the damage as well.
Anyway, even tho the Attack says PA, that's just a typo, the damage is only STR.

Combat Casting
You are adept at spellcasting when threatened or distracted.
Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability when casting on the defensive or while grappled.
--
In that situation, you don't add +4
Well didn't expect the crit, but was pretty sure he would kill me.
Well we can still get you a raise dead so you aren't out of it yet.
Seb, get Johan up and going and we got a chance.
You only get an extra attack on a full round action.
Oh well - hoping that 21 is good enough to hit
Oh well - hoping that 21 is good enough to hit
I need to check when the sorceress used haste on them.
If it's ended already (I think it ended after his last action), then it'll be a hit.
Also, Since Sebastian is away, Cedric and Johan are down, I'll Act for seb and Grumble.
On a side note:
Grumblejack would have delayed and waited until Hassan came to him, had Eldred not moved forward to attack Hassan.
But since Eldred was one of the un's that saved him from Brandescar, felt as his duty (Yep, he is LE since his rebirth as Half-Devil) to protect him at least.
I'm hoping the 40+ points of damage is enough to drop the Barbarian in which case I am hoping Seb can get in there with a wand of CLW to help Johan and Grumblejack. I am hoping he has more than 14 Constitution.
Grumblejack has 20 Con.
And check Gameplay. :)
HPs Leveling to level 2 rogue.
I'll get the rest fixed up later.
We need to contact the Baron for a scroll of raise dead and a scroll of restoration.
Levelled. I wanted for a long time to put my level 8 as con. Getting my phsyical skills as top notch but realistically I need to boost my Dex and so went that route.
Took weapon training as my rogue talent. weapon focus longbow - I need it to compensate for my rolls.
I PM'ed Cedric. I want to get him a scroll of resurrection or raise dead/restoration.
My next 2 levels will likely be rogue then I'll switch back to ranger for the rest of the game.
That was a fun fight....
Level 8 means Diabolist level 2!

Channel Hellfire: At 2nd level, a diabolist can alter spells that deal energy damage to instead deal hellfire damage. She can do this as a free action a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Spells altered to use hellfire gain the lawful and evil descriptors.
Infernal Bargain: At 2nd level, a diabolist making use of planar ally (or a similar spell) can make an opposed Charisma check against a called (but not summoned) devil. If she succeeds, the devil reduces the price it demands to serve by half.
+1 3rd level spell/day
+1 4th Level spell/day
I also leveled my Accuser Devil, he is now a rogue! And he can speak common!
I'm here guys, I'm in 12 games on here so wasn't going anywhere. Just waiting to see what the plan was.
@Ress
I wont make a fuzz about it.
If you guys have money, you can describe anyway you want, buying and resurrecting Cedric.
The faster, the better, so he can join the game again. :)
Whats a Rez cost? I know there has to be some diamond involved as well.
I think we would have close to the amount needed from the loot gathered from this battle - the +2 Dagger is worth 4k at the resale value as is the raging falchion - thats 8k there before we sell anything else.
Plus, don't we have some kitty / party share funding we can dip into?
You would need:
Searching the dead bodies, this is what is to be found:
4 Potions of Cure Moderate wounds. Not for sale
2 Vials of Holy Water. 25gp each, I think we should keep these.
12 Daggers (of various styles) (11 with the orc, one with the Sorceress) Meh. Barely worth it. Give them to our lackeys on site
+2 Dagger 8k new, 4k resale
1 Masterwork Dagger 302 new, 151 resale
1 Potion of invisibility Not selling
1 Potion of Barkskin (CL 7) Not selling
+1 Furious falchion 8k new, 4k resale
+1 Breastplate worth 2400 new, worth 1200 resale.
masterwork studded leather 180 new 90 resale
masterwork thieves tools 100 new 50 resale.
Resale its a tad under 9500 (9491) - Hoping this is enough before we dip into the party kitty but we can do that too.
Err...the player forgot but lets say that Agrippa didn't care or he was too involved with the Red Pentacle to notice the advisement.
Are we waiting Johan's return on Wednesday or can I move things forward?
(Ressing, spying, torturing and such)
move it forward
I'm ready to go....although perhaps in a slightly forgetful manner.
just waiting to be pulled from the hell and back to to life :)
Anyone has any suggestion for cross-devices site/app which I could use to keep track of notes?
Mainly because it's keeping hard to have a set of notes at work, at home, or in my 'go out' notebook.
Google Docs is my go to for almost everything...
Yeah, I know but I want something more... I don't know.
Something like docs, but which I could open tabs, so I could keep a set of note per tabs, one for each game, as player and GM...
Moreover, that excel from docs isn't really appealing for this...
I have folders for all my games and then subfolders for all my maps, encounters, PDFs, notes, pictures and anything else.
Also, lots of spreadsheets.
yeah I don't use google docs enough to be a wizard but we use if for all home games as well and online stuff. Seems to do the job well.
Obsidian portal - it's free and it rocks!
I use it for my long running carrion crown campaign

After a loooooooooong time (Sorry >.<)
