Studio visit wasn't as long as I expected. And got most of my Mech_Con swag, the rest I'll need to pick up at the convention tomorrow. Nothing fancy though the water bottle (which looks to be one of those insulated ones) is gonna see some use - the one I got up in Cairns broke on me about a week or so ago.
Hi folks.
This was just posted in the discussion portion of another game I'm in.
We go along in life and in most cases we don't really consider that there are things we won't get a chance to finish.
The game may go on or it may not, but in either case Justin (GM Harker) won't get to finish telling his story.
Just a reminder to tell the people around you how you feel about them - don't leave things unsaid.
Sorry, feeling old and a little maudlin today.
My condolences to his family. I just lost one of my cousins to cancer earlier this week. You really have to treasure every moment you have with your loved ones. You never know how much time you will have with them. :(
Oh my, my condolences
Still at my brother's and don't immediately have time to post, but I will later today though
I was out camping this weekend and thought I would have signal but did not! Just now back home.
No worries! You get a retroactive action for this past round and may post for this next one now. :)
I'll give Sara some more time to post. Don't want to steal her thunder in a climactic fight! I'll bot her if she hasn't posted by tomorrow morning though.
Now the RP'er in me is certain that there are more rooms to explore, monsters to be fought and loot to be gained.
But IC we've just achieved everything we need in a single stroke! So why go back?
Sometimes you take the back door right to the boss's chamber.
It's up to you whether or not you want to come back, but the situation might be different when you return.
Dignity's Barb: Dignity's Barb is a +4 seeking darkwood light crossbow. At the start of each day, the crossbow’s owner rolls a d20, rerolling any results of 1, 19, or 20 and recording the final result. For the rest of that day, when the owner rolls the recorded number on an attack roll with Dignity's Barb, the attack roll is a critical threat. This has no benefit for anyone other than the owner who rolled at the start of the day.
Envoy Ring: The wearer can use mass suggestion (DC 24) once per day.
Koriana's Blade: Koriana's Blade is a +4 defending longsword. The final gem repairs itself.
Subtle Mask: The mask's enhancement bonus to Charisma is +6. When the wearer mentally activates the mask, she also detects whether the target is lying throughout the concentration, as per discern lies (DC 22). Once per day, the wearer can speak a command word to use true seeing.
Standard of Conquest: When the standard bearer calls for a battle charge, each affected creature gains a fly speed of 30 feet for 1 minute. The standard bearer can call for a battle charge twice per day.
Dignity's Barb, the Envoy Ring, and the Subtle Mask are all now at their maximum power!
Koriana's Blade: Koriana's Blade is a +4 defending longsword. The final gem repairs itself.
I thought it was a shortsword?
Now, Freudian issues aside, did the blade actually get longer or was this a typo? :) :)

What other tasks do we have left in Yanmass?
~~
Loot Info:
We should probably keep the potions. Other then that, I don't see anything that stands out for keeping.
potion of cure serious wounds 750 gp
potion of cure moderate wounds 300 gp (x2) : 600 gp
potion of invisibility 300 gp (x2) : 600 gp
potion of bear's endurance 300 gp
~~
headband of alluring charisma +2 4000 gp
cloak of resistance +1 1000 gp (x2) : 2000 gp
wand of magic missiles (35 charges) 525 gp
+1 mithral shirt 2100 gp
lesser talisman of freedom 900 gp
ring of protection +2 8000 gp
masterwork light mace 305 gp
masterwork light crossbow 335 gp (x2) : 670 gp
hand crossbow 100 gp
coinage 200 gp
~~~~~~
Barring any claims on the items above; this breaks down as follows:
Total Value: 18,600 gp
Sold For (x.50): 9,300 gp
Each Share: 1,860 gp
Adding the coinage, each share comes to 1,900 gp each.
The Blade was originally a longsword, but I changed it to a short sword so that it would be an attractive option for use. Forgot to edit it when I copy/pasted.
You've completed all your tasks in Yanmass. Overnight, the city watch will raid the theater and arrest any lingering cultists and turn over anything pertinent they find to you. You are free to return to Meratt whenever you are ready.
I'll be out of town from Friday afternoon through Tuesday night. Wi-fi access might be spotty, so I might not be able to post much until I return.
It looks like no one is claiming anything extra from the loot list, so that's 1900 gp each.
How should we divy up the potions?
Zhi would like the potions of invisibility, but other then that, I'm ok with whoever would like to take any of them.
The only thing I'd benefit from is the +1 mithril chain shirt, but eh
Zileska and Zhi can both add another 1000 to their pot as part of the luckstone repayment, and I'll subtract 100 from my personal amount
Ive taken the gold, needed it to get my tattoo! :)
I'll add the gold to Maria's sheet now, but I'll post here and in Return in the morning when I've had some semblance of sleep (yeah, it's official now - I cannot sleep on planes at all).
So we're in Yanmass for a Sara led party and then back to Meratt right?
Is the time in Meratt going to be long? Mel's bday is fairly soon and I think Zhi might be making plans to try and top Mel's present for her birthday!
Yes, you will have a lot of downtime when you get back to Meratt.
Yeah, sure, no pressure there. :/
Just because I give fabulous gifts:p
Besides you proposed just before your own birthday. That was really unfair!!!
Huh, shaken isn't as bad as I remember. I mean; it basically cuts the bonus from Studied Combat in half and those save penalties are probably gonna bite me in the ass but that's still a decent hit chance.
Also, we are buying some proper adamantine weapons after this fight!! Why does everyone and their mother seem to have adamantine damage resistance these days?
I got all excited to see 10 new posts, and then found that 9 of them were Maria getting her booty call...
Now I know how the rest of you feel when MeloZhi goes off on one! :)
Heh, every booty gets their spotlight. ;)
DM Brainiac is an equal-booty GM! ;)
Zhi's initiative is after the psychopomp's, so her actions will resolve after Sara and the creature act.
Yeah, sorry. I got a little too excited.
Hey Brainiac, since we're all hovering, am I back on the ground or floating just beside the thing/within a five foot step? So's I know how many attacks to roll. Thankss
Can't find an official ruling as to what happens when you get knocked unconscious, but since you'd normally need to make a DC 15 Fly check to hover in place, I ruled that you floated to the ground. So you can fly up and make one attack, or throw something at him.
Just so it doesn't leave people hanging and wondering what I'm talking about, tomorrow I will use commune to ask Calistria why the heck Pharasma is sending psychopomps to kill Carrius.
That should be interesting... if Commune gives us anything useful and not just 'because she's an uptight old sod!'
The text of commune is explicit that the spell should always give you some helpful bump or direction to follow up, though I expect Calistria would probably still throw in a choice comment about Pharasma's dusty and unused nethers. ("She lets everyone who ever died into her nether region!")
The Bracers of Armor +3 are 9000, a +1 conductive scythe is 8318, and a standard scythe weighs 10 pounds so that's another 5000 buckaroos of mithril for a total of 22318 or 2231.8 each (divided by two, divided by five)
Melodie's called dibs on the Bracers, thus owes the bank 4500. Worth noting she already has Bracers of Armor +2, which sells for 2000 and would reduce her debt to 2.5k
Lastly, Zhi and Zileska both get an extra 1000 as Sara uses her share to finish the luckstone repayment.
Added money to my sheet, minus cost of the commune spell.
So Maria's cut is the 2231.8? Just making sure I'm reading it right.

Surely Mel owes 2268.2 gp (4500 - her cut). Then sells the Bracers +2 for 2k and therefore owes the bank 268.2gp?
Oh, duh, yeah of course sorry
What do you think the odds of that actually happening are? I'm going with 3% :)
Zileska has three more questions to ask, and then you will find out! ;)
I'll give Sara until the morning to post, then I will bit her. I think the best tactic for her would be to help Maria against the bug-man, unless you guys have other suggestions.
Quick question; what action would it be for Maria to hand Melodie one of her extracts with her tail? The Prehensile Tail trait says you can retrieve items with it with a swift action and I was thinking just pulling out an extract and holding it out for Melodie to grab.
EDIT: Was planning to hand her an extract of protection from energy.
You can do it as a swift action.
Cool, because I get the feeling Mel's gonna need it. That and some aloe. :P
Having not read the gameplay yet... this doesn't sound good!
I forgot to move the man for his 5-foot-step, so I shifted some people's positions slightly. I had Melodie step away from the giant too, so she wouldn't provoke an AoO for drinking the extract.
On another note - I now regret giving that Cure Serious Wounds extract to Safina. It's what Maria would've done under the circumstances, but now our only real emergency healing is Zileska.
No pressure, Zil. :D
Hey all, sorry for my slow rate of posting this week; family health issues compounded by holidays has made things sticky. I'll try and squash this bug and level up Calendula in the mornin, :)
Still need actions for Sara and Zileska. I understand it's a busy time of year, though, so no pressure. Post when you can. :)
merry christmas/happy late yule and very late hannukah/happy early kwanza; thanks for being one of the best parts of my year, ♥️♥️♥️
Happy holidays! It's your turn when you get a chance, Sara. ;)
