Yes, it is battered pretty badly, but still standing at the moment.
I should've known better than to take on an ankheg at Level 1: I mean, I've played enough Baldur's Gate to know that ankhegs are not to be f+@@ed with.
Well, if you had rolled a little higher to hit, it would be dead right now! As it stands, it just has a few more hit points. If Kip rolls high, he can finish it off.

I've been thinking about Baldur's Gate since we encountered the baby.
Hopefully you survive this. Not sure what it's going to do to you now that it has you grappled. :(

Unfortunately, Kip's damage potential at level 1 is pretty low, and his priorities are in life preservation. Damage will pick up as we level though.
Anyone know of a way for a shaman to pick up spontaneous cures? Maybe a feat or something?
You can take the healing hex. Not quite the same thing, but it works in a pinch.
When you level up, spontaneous casters have immediate access to new spell slots. Prepared casters can spend 10 minutes to fill their empty slots. Your wounds have not healed, though, and any existing spells/abilities used remain unavailable until you rest.
Congrats on being the first of 3 tables to level up!

Hooray!
I'm going to have to give some thought to where I need to put skill points.
With only four of us, I'll likely limit the amount of overlap in Knowledge skills, only putting 1 rank in skills that others have.
Can the rest of you let me know what knowledge skills you are going to build up over the future?

I've started having some serious computer problems the last couple of days and this may lead to spotty posting until I can replace it. Hopefully that won't be the case and I will keep you updated as best I can until then.
Can't recall, how are we handling hitpoint for 2nd lvl and up?
Your choice of rolling or taking half HD + 1. Once you choose, you can't change if you roll low. :)
Half+1 for me as well. Can't afford the possibility of a low roll trying to be in melee with a d8.
I'll take half +1 + CON as well.

I wasn't even aware the bow or ring were magical.
Can we establish an SOP where Detect Magic is cast on all loot?
We should probably think about default marching order too. Not sure if you guys want me to scout ahead or not. That's not really my focus, but I could do so, if needed.
-Posted with Wayfinder
I usually assume somebody is casting detect magic when you find loot and will indicate if things are magical. May have overlooked those two items, and if so, I apologize.
By the way, the quick-runner's shirt is now attuned to Victrix so she can use its ability.
Victrix, I meant the zombie could only stand up on its turn since it is staggered. You'll still only get one attack this round before it goes again.
Oh.
Okay then. Editing.

Simon will leave his old leather armor on the ship. He'll have to carry everything else.
He doesn't currently have the 10gp for writing inks for a first level spell, so I guess studying the spellbook can wait.
(Wait, did we find and coins as loot so far? I haven't been tracking that. Perhaps we should designate someone to track and handle dustributions of loot? I'll volunteer.)
So far you have found 87 gp and 321 sp. I will go through and post everything you have found so far here in a few minutes.

Thanks. I was going to go back through the logs and do that myself tonight.
I'll generate a google sheet to track this stuff as well.
Unless someone has a different idea, I'd propose splitting gold 5 ways, with an equal share going into a party fund.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wI6_8hWuhK6D06JBizhux10qvpSp88vM5iM L5b9LD3E/edit?usp=sharing
Everyone got 23.82 gold from the simple distribution of coins.
I think we should stow any of the unclaimed items here on the ship. No need to carry it around.
As, I have a little money, I'll try to decipher one or two spells.
Battle Map is here. I will also add a permanent link at the top of the page.
Oops, I forgot to have Perrell respond to Ema before you left! This is what she would have said:
"Yes, that would be absurd," Perrell agrees with a smile. "I largely have studied the rise and fall of nations across Golarion, as well as the evolution of languages and architectural styles of various cultures. I've particuarly focused on the ancient Azlanti and Osirian empires, as well as the elves of Kyonin."
Yes, and it because it is is a special attack that the creature possesses.
Ema, I will let you retcon the snowball to an acid splash so you didn't waste a spell slot while I was NPCing you.
It's fine.
It's debatable but I would agree since it's a special attack.
I will give Kip a little while longer before posting for him.
Ack, sorry, missed that it was my turn again.

I am on vacation this week. I should be able to manage at least daily updates, but might not be able to help drive the story as much as usual.

My summon monster ability is basically the same as a summoners. I have to spend a reservoir point per level of the summon to call forth a creature for 1 min per level. So yeah, a minute per level but it costs me a lot of reservoir pts as we level.
Yeah, the change to arcanist consume spells really hit occultists hard since they use so many points.
It's not really as bad as it might seem since if I consume a spell of the same level as the summon I use I get those points right back but yeah, I already see at higher levels how it will hurt. I can always increase the number of consume uses by upping my Charisma though, which will be happening somehow.
Yeah. It really makes you CHA dependent though, and makes it very painful to cobble together a summon via eating 2 lower level spells. Before the change that wasn't a big deal since you weren't limited on consumes/day.
Yeah, still manageable though, and let's face it, the class really needed a nerf from how it started.
So will you go through the deep end or the shallow tunnel?
I'll let the others decide what they're more comfortable with, since the water won't bother me at all.
In the absence of further input, I will assume you go through the deep parts. Update forthcoming. :)
Note to self--next time, change into parade uniform before going swimming.
Ema, you rolled a natural 20 for your acid splash attack, so you can try to confirm the crit!
I did didn't I?! Just confirmed with a natural 1 to offset teh 20, lol!
