DM Brainiac's Iron Gods (Inactive)

Game Master Brainiac

Tis cool, the holidays have us ALL busy!

No rush to finish off the party, it is Christma's and all that you know... xD

Speaking of the holidays, I will be out of town from 12/18 through 12/26, with limited or no internet access for much of that time. Normal posting will resume when I return on Monday, 12/27.

One more year, last one for this campaign it would seem, Merry Christmas everyone :)

And a Merry Crystalhue to our characters!

Happy holidays! I'm back at work today, so I will update this game a little later on this morning. :)

Holg, the force field is down after Molly's attacks this round.

Sorry Fifteen! I was reading the thread with no images and got the names mixed.

We still have some rocket lunchers that might be of help here.

Also, Fireday's armor has 20 feet fly speed, so he can go there too.

I will prepare two air walk spells for next day.

Holg, the force field is down after Molly's attacks this round.

I should certainly hope so! XD

I'm really, really sick again. Trying to get a test for the 'rona. I have a fever and it's really hard for me to concentrate. I hope I will be able to catch up in a couple of days.

I'll be taking another short staycation from 1/1 through 1/5. Posting will be sporadic until I return to work on 1/6.

That'll give us time to level up, though, so that's helpful!

HP: +12
Spell slots: +1 6th level, +2 9th level
Feat: Quick Channel

Background skills:

BAB +1

Gun Training 4
Musket Training 4

Feat: Lucky Halfling

Skills: 5+2
Diplomacy +1, Disable Device +1, Knowledge (local) +1, Perception +1, Stealth +1, Craft (jewelry) +2

I levelled Fifteen, but for the life of me I don't remember what changed!

Ahoi Iron Scavengers! Last loot share! We plundered Silver Mount for 61,551 gp benefit each of us.

There is also a cloak of resistance +3 from the gargoyles that might slightly improve someone's back.

Additionally, we have 85,000 gp in diamonds, powdered silver and other metals, Deacon Hope's gift, Holg is carrying around in case we need to resurrect or restore negative levels from someone before everything ends.

In case you are feeling lacking equipment, here is a list of all previous item and coin shares:
Sold 6 (5th book end)
Sold 5 (4th book end)
Sold 4 (3rd book end)
Sold 3 was half book in Iadenveigh and we used the shared gold to buy scrolls and wands instead of giving away gold.
Sold 2 (2nd book end)
Sold 1 (1st book end) (and recap)

For those of you here from the beginning, you should have received a total 211,356.37 gp all through the campaign, aside from the items you claimed from the treasure list of loot found.

Level 17

Warpriest of Iomedae
HP: +6
Spell slots: +1 5th level, +1 6th level
Feat: Extend Spell
Fervor's healing/damage increases to 6d6
Skills:
Diplomacy +2
Perception
Sense Motive
Background skills:
Craft (mechanical)
Knowledge (engineering)

I might benefit from the cloak you mentioned. It's +1 better than my current one.

Derp question: if my saving throw is equal to the DC, does that mean I make the save or not?

You made the save :)

Saving throws must equal or exceed the DC. :)

I'm kind of anxious right now: should I use the buffs I've got prepared now or save them until after we fight Ophelia and company?

Level 17: Warpriest (sacred fist) 8

+7 hit points
+1 BAB
+1 Fort and Will saves

Feat: Weapon Versatility (greatsword)

Skills: +1 each of: Knowledge (religion), Perception, Survival; Knowledge (engineering), Linguistics

Language learned: Hallit

Fervor: 3d6
+1 to Dodge bonus to AC

AC 35—not very good for level 17, but not bad for no armor.

Had a busy day, I'll get the map up and a combat update done tomorrow morning.

Tis cool, take your time! :3

Meyanda is up!

I'm having trouble with the map and Holg says I should just be full attacking someone right next to me instead of trying to fight Ophelia.

This would mean undoing my death vow and making a full attack, or possibly a Great Cleave. I don't know how many enemies are adjacent to me.

According to map there are 3 of Ophelia's minions, which seem to be some kind of robot with angelic aspect.

Damn it. I just realized that my character build is invalid and I can't have Great Cleave. Gonna have to redo everything.

Swapped Great Cleave for Improved Critical.

Updating actions.

Nice one, Meyanda! :D

I plan to update tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay.

'Tis kewl! Take your time!

We really need to give a feat or some other power for Fireday to gain pounce :)

We really need to give a feat or some other power for Fireday to gain pounce :)

I'd like that too please... I'd like 7 attacks on the charge!

"Any healing magic left?" asks Meyanda.

I believe Meyanda is unscathed after the channel, but if I missed something I beg your pardon. Feel free to serve yourself of the curse serious wounds wand, 8 charges left.

I was under the impression that after the last fight I had 19 hit points left, as shown in my stat bar.

Besides, reviewing previous posts I just noticed Fireday already cast a Blessing of Fervor on the party, so if possible I will change that casting to divine power instead, and save the blessing of fervor for later if needed.

Holy aura gives a +4 resistance to saves, which should be +1 more than Fifteen's +3, that and BoF +2 bonus to Reflex might help her pass that Reflex save.

And finally the sacred truth revealed, Unity is in fact... Brainiac! An omniscient AI able to GM all Pathfinder APs in parallel! :D

I think the holy aura becomes relevant here, forcing the angels to roll against blindness (Fort 23) and the prismatic spray to pierce through SR 25. That is, assuming Unity and co are evil.

Also, if frightful presence renders shaken the second angel, his attack on Holg might be a failure. And if the greatswords are not magical, his DR is higher too thanks to same spell!

Fort vs Blindness: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 231d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
SR: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 281d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 291d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 321d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 291d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

All saves made and all SR checks passed. The greatswords are magical.

Why do I get the feeling that Molly is going to be more annoyed than anything else at being plane-shifted?

She'll just fire her bullets across the planar boundary.

That's a shame for she had not even a single round :(

Holg used greater planar ally to call the First Blade before. Perhaps, if Gorum listened and is sending his herald, Molly can take control of him so she has at least some fun to do.

He has a plane shift prepared for the day, so, if we can manage some divination to find where she went, we can make a rescue travel if we survive this one.

@Meyanda
You just seemed to take 20 acid damage, it is not possible you are at the ground dying. Did I lose something?

I asked earlier in the Gameplay thread if anyone had more healing, because I had 19 hit points. Nobody said anything.

Well, I actually replied you here. As exposed before, Holg's channel removed the 19 damage Meyanda had received. Even if he had not channeled, 39 damage cannot be possibly killing Meyanda! '^_^

I had 19 hit points left.

Meyanda, assume you were healed to full health before entering the Godmind.

Holg, thanks for reminding me about Gorum's herald. I'll have him show up this round.

Sorry, you had only taken this 19 hits. All the rest was fire damage which was absorbed by your Reflex saves and 120 protection from fire.

Even then I offered you to use the staff if you wanted to use it for healing, and Meyanda is a warpriest thus she can also use fervor and spells to heal herself if she needs to.

I have been very generously consuming my time tracking HP and healing (often using my character limited resources) for most of you for the whole campaign. I only ask you back that if I am telling you twice you are unscathed you consume your time and do at least the effort to go back and check the posts and find out you made some bad notes at some moment. Brainiac does also his work and checking back damage is pretty easy thanks to his damage tags at the end of the posts.

I do my best to track all damage that I take and all healing that I receive. If you think that I'm incompetent, then tell me to f!~@ off and punt me from the group.

It doesn't really matter since this is the end anyway, but this interaction has now left a very bad taste in my mouth.

And how do you think I do feel when you are writing in spite that you are not healed Meyanda?

Just kill Meyanda. AP's over anyway. I'm done arguing over this.
