Yeah they got her. Updating now. I'll direct your EPS towards the ram.
It's early afternoon. Do you want to rest at the caravenserai or return to Yanmass?
How long would it take to get back? I say we push back quickly and try to catch Merkonder napping. On the other hand I'm pretty short on spells so resting isn't a bad idea...
It's about a four-five hour ride back to Yanmass. You would make it back in the late evening.
Well we have two votes for staying and I think I can convince Zhi... ;)
Alright, you'll probably want to deal with that drake first before you rest then...
Just to point out - I had to send the ring for the cloud to the back because I couldn't get at Maria's token otherwise (and I didn't trust myself to be able to put it back in the right spot). You can still select it, you'll just have to do it away from any tokens.
Ah, thanks. I meant to do that when I created it.
You round down, so Maria only took 9 damage after her resistance.
Also forgot to mention that you found a lion cloak among the drake's nest.
That would be really cool... if we hadnt all been given cloaks of resistance +2, which are better...!
Aye, the problem with the big-six items being so essential. :(
I do like ABP for that, frees up a lot more for 'fun stuff'. I should use them more often in my games!
How much would it cost to sew them together? It's half the price of the cheaper item?
Half the price of the more expensive one, so 6,000 gp.
Ooh, I might put in for that depending on if I can afford it after this/what we get from the Earl. Circumstance bonuses ain't nothing to sneeze at
It's a move action to draw a potion, Zhi, so you wouldn't be able to move to flank this round. Which will probably save your life since your Acrobatics check was so low.
I imagine then that I shouldn't complain about the crappy rolls in that post. :)

Happy 4000+ posts!
Sara should have been at full health after resting. I believe she's taken a total of 73 damage this fight, which means she has 22 Hp left now.
Is that including the healing my channeling did?
No, so she should be at 37 hp if my math is correct.
I didn't realize she went back to full from resting, my math had her start this fight I think at like 63, glad to not be dying so I'll take that 37
There's no safe way for Maria to stand up without risking an AoO, is there? Or has it already used an AoO already this round?
It will use its AoO on Zileska, but her initiative comes up after yours, Maria, so you won't be able to act until next round. Then it will have its AoO available again, which it will take on you if you try to stand up unless somebody else deliberately provokes it.
About to update the round now.
Oy. This fight isn't going well, is it?
Mel is doing fairly well - taking on both officers alone! Rest of the fight... yeah, not so much!
Fail the will save and it'll help, would you please Brainiac? :)
By your command. ;)
Why thank you :)

Sara is 100,000% in favor of selling the military equipment or at least asking for a weighty stipend upon return
The Taldan Horse will reward you for returning the arms and armor to them. You would get the same amount of money as if you had sold the items.
Cool! Sara and Zhi can both be happy. :)
My 6k'll go straight into that Lion's Cloak, I'm excited
It will take 6 days to combine the enchantments on the cloaks, so you will probably have to wait until after the adventure unless you want to take some extended downtime in Yanmass before investigating the Cult of the Twilight Child.
Gosh, what would Mel and Zhi do with a week of downtime. Hmmm ...
Someone help me out here, I'm coming up blank.
Personally I'm fine with that. Obviously depends on the rest
I like downtime. Adventuring is just a distraction from the real business of downtime anyway!
Gold:6670.8. Why is everything I want so expensive???
Alright, you have been adventuring pretty hard lately. Kick Merkondus's ass real quick and then you can have some downtime.
I hate not having proper internet! :(
I'll take it... saving up for (at last) a headband of mental prowess (+Wis, +Cha).
SO, what do we think? Should I keep Gallundra (or whatever her name actually is)? Or is there someone else we might benefit more from?
Like you asking what role could a cohort fill or if there's people we know what would be good?
Roles, a full time crafter would be a godsend, albeit cheesebally, and we have minimal ranged support.
Gallindra does a lot there and the +2 to fighting people is SO nice but she's too dry and straightforward for me and I'm not about it, tbh.
I would love Malphene or Lucretzia as party members but they don't make sense as Mel's cohorts and Sara ain't taking Leadership anytime soon. In fact, outside of those two and Martella (who can't), there ain't really any our friends worth taking with. Ain't none of our allies have positions they can leave anyhow except like Sepsinia and Selli and Selli's like between 8 and 14, and Sepsinia would be super cool but she'd need a level in badass
Our minor antagonists tho are full of people I'd love to rally with, except they're all dead. Dagio is at the top ofthat list, followed by Wyssilka and Mr. Smiles (remember Mr. Smiles?). The Kozan Bravos would be decent, as would Hellbore and uh the girl Sara f&*!ed
Also
I did my math wrong for the pounce, subtract another 2 from all my rolls(but also +4 to the grapple check cause Grab); I was adding 4 to the modifier, not to the total number
Having a strong ranged attack could come in handy. And being able to contribute the favored enemy bonus vs humans is cool.
Be careful, though. If she's starts getting overly familiar, someone might start getting a little insecure.
Not saying who, but ...
... and uh the girl Sara f$!!ed
*raises an eyebrow*
Uh, yeah, you're gonna have to be a bit more specific then that. ;)
... and uh the girl Sara f$!!ed*raises an eyebrow*

I think that's referring to the half-orc who was holed up in the crazy lady's house.
Yeah her
Sara has flirted a ton but has only slept with five named recurring characters and seeing as two are party members and the other two are her girlfriends, there's like, one person remaining
Sorry, Zhi's got a pretty active imagination and so - in her mind - there have been a lot more.
So in other words Sara wants Mel to recruit one of her booty calls? :)
I'm seconding the crafter because 50% off all magic items is a brilliant use of a feat. But I agree, cheesy as anything! There's a character in book 5 who would be great but that's a very long time to wait...
From a combat mechanic PoV I think Gallundra is about as good as I could design myself, and likewise I can't think of anyone else that we could use unless we head Onora from the Wolf's Whisker in Stachys.
Also, Zil, how are the school plans going? I could easily have a full time crafter based there who sends out items for us whenever we need them...
It's really optimal and cheesy (crafter wizard, who wouldn't interrupt our game vibe much) or combat useful but dull (Gallindra). Opiniins/other ideas?
Also Sara + Zhi, Sara + Zil right? Don t think she and Maria have fooled around?
Yeah but for practical reasons. Night Swan's a trip build, Malphene could justifiably be any martial build we want (tho so could Sepsinia), and wasn't the half orc like a warpriest or s/t?
And no sex with Maria but Sara did take Maria on a date that I don't think Maria realized was a date. Her feelings about Maria are complex tbh, but not romantic in the slightest
There's also Alista Cragus (the Purple Finch). I imagine she should be a bard build but that could be done with a bow if we wanted a range build. Or we do her as an urban ranger build with lots of points in perform. If we built her focused on crossbows, we could better utilize that relic we have. I don't remember if Maria has used it more than once or twice.
