Cap'n Voodoo's Freebooter PBP

Game Master voodoo chili

OK, finally caught up on spells prepared. As for the erin-nos, are they armed at all?

Whips and a couple clubs

It just occurred to me that we never searched the bodies of the gladiators after Jaravo left. Right on top of things, we are.

yeah, it's at the point where I don't worry about how powerful the magic items are that I give enemies bc y'all never bother picking anything up :D

...didn't we pick up some drow chainmail in the tower? Jim kept a bow for himself, but I thought we took some loot.

Alright. I had to do some deep diving but items are added to the Loot sheet. Corliss took the special drow chainmail but the regular stuff is on there.

A little Mega-dungeon detour perhaps? ;)

If everyone else is on board (as it were).

Sounds OK to me.

Hur. What could go wrong ;)

I'm the House GM for the 1E special again, so I may be slower to post over the next couple of months.

I'm going to be unavailable to post till Wednesday. Feel free to DMPC me.

Yo ho. I'm traveling screen free until 3/16 so I guess this is a pause. but feel free to tawk amongst yuhselfs.

Enjoy! Fair winds and following seas!

No, the "counter and dispel" language, as far as I know, refers to using a spell as a counterspell. So a caster could hold an action, and when Dingus tried to cast haste the caster could use either haste or slow to counter Dingus' casting (if the caster successfully identified what Dingus was casting). Since the slow effect from the ray is secondary to the cold damage, though, I don't think it could have used the cold ray as a counter even if it'd held an action and identified the spell.

I had to dig a bit but I do think my interpretation is correct. At least for PF1. It's not a counterspell. Further clarification in the Core magic rules says:

The spell description for slow specifically states:
"Multiple slow effects don’t stack. Slow counters and dispels haste. "

so haste is negated by slow and vice versa. since the slow is a targetted ray, I'm saying that only Kaul's haste is affected. If it was the regular area of effect, everyone's haste would be negated.

Dingus already went this round... so I think hasted Jim and Corliss are up first.

Corliss may have been asking if you wanted him to cast his call lightning. It's a full round casting so up to you all. I guess Dingus could levitate Jim up as well.

Agreed... but that would mean they don't act at all in round 1.

BTW does a "Full Round" action still take a full round if hasted?

All these "Judgement" calls are why I've adopted Pathfinder 2e.

Dingus- we're in round 2. Jim shot an arrow and Corliss cast spiritual weapon and you cast haste in R1.

Yes, call lightning is a full round conjuration- would go off at the start of Corliss' next turn.

Okay I'll ask. As Haste is a standard action I assumed they would take a hasted action as well.

They acted prior to the spell being cast on R1 but THlS round (R2), yes, they are hasted.

Work's kicked up a notch here in Scotia lads - posting might be spotty at best until end of the week. Bot Kauly as is necessary Skipper.

So does Haste let Dingus cast two spells in one round?

So does Haste let Dingus cast two spells in one round?

No. I don't think it does that in PF2 either... It's not that different from the PF2 version, you double your movement speed and get an extra attack on a full attack (only attacking that round, no move other than 5' step).

Just as a note: I forgot that Corliss can't swap out regular spells for cure spells and forgot to update before we came ashore, so unless the Cap'n is feeling nice, he's got 2 healing channels left.

Wait, why doesn't Corliss have Spontaneous casting?

Righty o' lads - mad wee spell has cleared and taken couple of days off, so will get caught up and get to posting. Appreciate the patience :)

I'm pretty sure that was one of the tweaks made when Corliss joined the crew: only 3 positive energy channels per day plus no spontaneous casting, to make things more challenging. I don't see it on his sheet, so I'll have to do some deep digging through PMs, hopefully later today.

I do recall that channel/day was limited to 1+CHA but don't recall no spontaneous casting though I could be mistaken. I think the discussion was all in PM. I'll look as well. I wish Paizo would just have threads rather than toggle between sent and received for each post.

AND spot on about Kaul's sneaking ahead not going so well last time.

I bet 4 out of 5 rogues die during recon! I've lost a couple that way :P

Even if it's not a fraught exercise, in PbP having one PC sneak ahead of the party is problematic (as is anything else that forces the GM to only focus on one character for any length of time); unless that PC is able to post multiple times a day the other players will be hanging fire for a while. I have a sneaky type in one of my RotRL games, and it really breaks up the tempo.

is Roll20 working for you all? It keeps freezing on the Loading... screen when I try to open the maps. I don't pay for it so maybe that's the plan?

I've been able to see the map.

I've been able to see the map.

Thanks. Prob a cookie or security thing on my computer messing it up then.

Nah mine isn't working :(

Roll20 IS working for me.

Working for me too... though I'll admit I forgot we were using it. :-)

Thanks, all. I tried cleaning some stuff and restarting and it's working now though I couldn't exactly say why. Might have been the restart?

Hey, Kaul. You're up.

I'll be traveling for work through this coming Friday (pickup from home at 415AM (UST -5) tomorrow...no fun), and will probably be restricted to posting by phone in the evenings.

Ouch. That's early. Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it.

Ooft. Early start - don't miss them. Would say enjoy but its work :)

Corliss- I think that I've figured out what youre remembering about the no spontaneous healing thing. You were considering taking the Cardinal Archetype which prohibits it but then decided against it.

PMs are hard to navigate but there was an extended discussion fall 2021

Wish me luck, all...I got sick on my work trip, came back early, and what with one thing and another am now in hospital waiting to get my gallbladder extracted.

OMG!!!

Wishing you luck

I'll try to be a bit faster with the curing spells (if needed) than I was recently with Kaul. :x

Hope things go well and your recovery is quick.

Dammit, Jim. I'm a GM, not a Doctor!

Good thing you've got someone for that. Best wishes and feel better soon!

Extraction went well. Mostly sleeping it all off. Thanks for the good wishes.

Glad all went well Jimmer - As 'em for a spot of the Bloodgrog to ease the pain :)

They were giving me the good stuff before they poked the holes in me (and Jim's taken worse without that!), but they did such a fine job of it that I haven't needed anything since.

Let me get Jim's and Kaul's saves, if possible, before I make a determination on Dingus' spell.

If you fail the wrath save, roll d4 and count down in turn order starting next after you for whom you attack. And yes, you may end up attacking the darkness.

Dingus- you are Caster Level 6 until you take the P6 Epic Caster feat. That specifically raises your CL to 7.

Are we waiting for Corliss? What up?

Kind of surprised that Jim and Kaul haven't yet taken the Combat Reflexes and Cleave feats respectively. Would have been useful AND cinematic in this combat.
