Also, by RAW, I believe you can only draw a weapon as part of "a regular move," not a move action like rising from prone or opening a door. By the time you're on your feet, grabbing stuff off the ground is no longer convenient.

If she didn't insist on sleeping nude, she'd probably at least have a spell component pouch on her. ;)

So I think I am happy to treat every caster for this game as having Eschew Materials, at least for now. Remember its components with a 1GP cost or less only that are exempt, and it doesn't apply to you when under the effects of a Polymorph spell, except Alter Self and Disguise Self.

Why would I need a spell component pouch? ;P

Although I still wonder at times if I should take Eschew Materials properly. It throws my build all out of whack, though.


By the way, Jakob should be at 23 initiative. He's at +5 CHA now, not +4. (Also, sorry--I peeked at the DM Only spoiler.)


At least Qhude is likely to get the deathblow on the dire ape!

Sovereign Court

Decent chance the deathblow will be on him if he doesn't.

As for your golem, another hit will destroy it.


She was a brave ball of wax....


Qhude's likely to be too distracted by his rage to take any cathartic interest in watching faux-Ansha be pounded flat, sadly.


I wonder if I can get Morvius to let us take more downtime while I rebuild a new golem--hopefully with a higher roll on the downtime part.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Might need that downtime to rebuild Qhude from the looks of it...


Alternatively, Qhude gets cheated of another killing blow. Much thrashing and flailing to follow.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Also a distinct possibility :P - could even be Ansha again to replicate the lion kill steal from earlier...


I want fireball. And a golem that isn't vulnerable to fire.

Sovereign Court

We lost Meow again?


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

I think so - I sent him an email four days ago and haven't gotten anything back. Haven't seen him in any other campaigns we share either...


Unfortunately looks like it. :( Hope he's okay.

Sovereign Court

Right. Another player to add to my list to bot this week...


Male Human Haunted Nature Oracle 4 (Ac 20 Cmd 20 Will+4 Ref+2 Fort+4)

I have a new friend.

Excuse me while I get distracted by cool primate picks. Pity these are likely summoned and will vanish soon. A friendly Gorilla is good to have about the home.

Sovereign Court

Turning in. I'll post asap tomorrow so you guys can continue the round.

Sovereign Court

Wow PMG outdid himself.

???! Did something go wrong?

Sovereign Court

Can't you see the state of the campaigns page? Looks atrocious.

Sovereign Court

Urgh it got even worse...


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

The IE browser I'm forced to use at work is having kittens... but my chrome one at home still looks ok.

Sovereign Court

I posted in the topic about it. I'm using Chrome. It looks horrendous to me. I can barely spot new posts.


Male Human Haunted Nature Oracle 4 (Ac 20 Cmd 20 Will+4 Ref+2 Fort+4)

Sorry, using chrome here no visible change.

Sovereign Court

As am I...

You don't see it like this?


Male Human Haunted Nature Oracle 4 (Ac 20 Cmd 20 Will+4 Ref+2 Fort+4)

Nope. but then I don't usually use the campaigns page.
I just use the main message board screen with focus active.

Not an option for those with a larger presence on the boards.

Sovereign Court

The campaigns page was awesome before. Now it looks... kinda s*&*.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Aah - finally made it onto the campaign page and see what you mean.... it's.... compact? They changed that between when I went to bed and when I woke up.


There's a dedicated thread to complain about it in. Aesthetically, it doesn't bother me, but practically, it does make it really hard to find the (x new) when it's buried on that one line. :P

Sovereign Court

Already spotted that thread. I made my complaint in that big thread where all changes were announced, before that one was made.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

FWIW Qhude's next stop was going to be the kitchen ;) - just he's not all that communicative and informative when he's all angsty.


Looks like PMG reverted the changes.

Sovereign Court

Except my Previous Campaigns list which is a bloated monstrosity.

Sovereign Court

I'm off out for a few hours and didn't manage to completely update in time. Map is ready but needs uploading. You can wait for the round update and map or you can post early; whatever suits you.

ETA 3-4 hours for round update. I also PM'd Meow.

If he can't meet posting requirements, I have other players in other games of mine interested in joining. As you can probably guess, Okoya is chief amongst them :P.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Much as it saddens to say, I'm thinking that we might need to let N'bellocq take a holiday from the PbP.

FYI - he's been absent from the 4-5 other PbPs I co-habitate with him as well.

Dark Archive

No longer matters Drow Lich Epic level Wizard/Cleric of considerable ability

Re: N'bellocq. Rats. Hope Meow is ok.

Question Re tents, specifically the kitchen tent.

~Does it have a specific entrance or entrances?
I know I know, How does a man packing 27o kilos of friendly augmented gorilla enter a tent? <rim shot>
But the 25DC on the push to have my friend here sunder the tent is not really a viable target with at J's current skill.
Or is this sort of thing fall under the Charisma check clause?

Sovereign Court

The entrance to the tent is directly in front of Qhude and is nothing more than a double layered tent flap to keep mosquitos out.

I would say the charisma check (generally) requires you to actually be able to speak to the monkey. So mostly use Handle Animal. Of course, if you try to Push it using handle animal to do something it wouldn't want to do for a friend, i'd then roll the opposed charisma check.

As for the tent wall, anyone would have a decent chance at sundering it.

Updating shortly.

Thanks for the answer. Basically what I was figuring. Need to buy some potions of Speak w/ animal and put some skill points into HA.


Male Human Haunted Nature Oracle 4 (Ac 20 Cmd 20 Will+4 Ref+2 Fort+4)

Pssst AK remember the bless spell or did something go wrong?

Sovereign Court

Missed it sorry. Editing it in.


Male Human Haunted Nature Oracle 4 (Ac 20 Cmd 20 Will+4 Ref+2 Fort+4)

Wild speculation a'la Jakob:
At this point I am 50% sure that the kitchen tent is a giant trap, (because that is what I would do) and 50% sure that we get a villain monologue from the faux cook before he(?) wild-shapes into something that can fly and see in low-light before vanishing up the chimney, (because that is the part of the story we are in).

Ow! Poor summoned primate.

Sovereign Court

Just to ensure that the more Mwangi-centric of the party are concerned for the soldiers and camp followers being downed, remember about 30% of the camp (and soldiers) are ethnic Mwangi ;).


Hey, your NPC's the one telling us to ignore the soldiers and focus on the apes. Tebati was heading for the wall. She might still. :P

Jakob seems more concerned about the horses than the people, whatever their race. ;)

Will post shortly. Today was my birthday! I got this and this and took my daughter to see Cats.


Male Human (Mwangi - Bas'o tribe) Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist archetype) 4

Happy birthday!

Sovereign Court

Happy Birthday indeed!

As for what my NPC's are telling you... thats their business. Morvius is a lot more task-focused and less people-focused than I am.


Male Human

Happy birthday Joana! :-)

Sovereign Court

Another post coming. Morvius is changing his orders so thought i'd post with that alias.

Sovereign Court

Poor Qhude. Missed by 1 twice in three attacks.
