Theoretically Jokum is equally skilled with sword and bow, but his bow sure isn't serving him too well these days...

I think we're just waiting on Striker. Maybe he needs some more time to prep for the encounter, or is there someone we're missing?

Its also boring if you can't see anything on the map. Darkness makes combat boring also, hehe. I'm assuming we have nothing to counter the darkness? If not, we're likely dead.

@Striker: I have a question, but honestly I think it would be best if the whole party were in on it. I've been thinking that Pollux might be better if he were using the Evangelist cleric archetype. Right now his channels inflict wounds, and he can only spontaneously convert spells to inflict wounds which is, for lack of a better word, sub-optimal. I think we would do slightly better with a cleric that can be a better buffer and I don't mind giving up channel dice (considering how useful they are right now). I'd lose a domain but honestly this early in the game, and considering how I've settled into RPing as Pollux, that would also be a non-issue RP-wise, it would actually be a tad more faithful to him as a character.
It'll also be fun to inspire people with the profane truths of hell... Especially because I'm already failing at having Pollux speak in iambic tetrameter and pentameter. Though in reality Pollux would opt for more general sayings as opposed to heavy-handed "praise Asmodeus!" speeches.
All that being said, what are your thoughts?

Well the changes wouldn't turn him into a healer. But he'd hopefully be better at helping us kill things before they hurt us too seriously.

Alright. I'll also trade out improved init for lingering performance. I'll update the char sheet in a bit.
Also. That stealth roll Jokum...

Jokum of the Breakbones |

I think when I went to stop Karthak I may have accidentally knocked him into the room (with a loud clatter, of course). :P

Tesseract Squires |

I believe the group is currently split, right?
Jokum and Karthak and the mystery guy in one room, and the rest of us in the back?

![]() |

Yep. Shaggy and Scooby are up ahead with the g-g-g-ghost. The rest of us are still in the dark listening to Ce-Eshna skin a thingy.

So I changed out improved init for lingering performance, which means my init is + 2 instead of + 6, I mentioned it previously but if that's not allowed then I'll still be at the order I'm in. If it is that then we're looking at Xaivan then me I believe.

So I was looking through this thread the other day, and I'm not sure we ever definitively divvied up all the scales. Should we return to that? Tess's has already come in useful, so it might be good to figure out who has the others.

Karthak Ironbreaker |

Here's the list, if no one else wants it I'd like the cloak of resistance:
NEW LIST:
torn bedroll(-)
three candle stubs(-)
bent fishhook(-)
10 feet of badly frayed hemp rope(-)
copper brooch depicting a bat (Xavian)
masterwork backpack (Pollux)
10 days of trail rations (2 each)
flint and steel(-)
set of caltrops (Ce-Eshna)
two flasks of oil(-)
bundle of 12 arrows (4 each Ce-Eshna, Xavian and Jokum)
2 potions of cure light wounds (Tesseract)
potion of lesser restoration (Tesseract)
Master Work War-hammer (Karthak)
1 vial of holy water (Karthak)
Potion of CLW (unidentified)
Potion of invisibility (unidentified)
Scroll of shocking grasp (unidentified)
Scroll of resist energy (unidentified)
dagger
light crossbow
10 bolts
cloak of resistance +1
ratty bedroll
6 days of rations
chipped 6-inch-tall marble statuette of a humanoid throwing a spear (75gp worth)
Millorn Spellbook (160gp worth including the following spells: acid splash, blur, color spray, detect magic, detect secret doors, fog cloud, ghost sound, grease, invisibility, levitate, mage armor, magic missile, read magic, resist energy, shocking grasp, silent image)
P.S:
Karthak got the glittering scale (Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast Glitterdust, however creatures that fail their save are not blinded, but suffer a 20% miss chance on all attacks for 19 rounds)

Xaivan Slingblade |

Back from OwlCon but I still need this afternoon to catch up on all things PbP. I would like to throw my name in the hat for the cloak of resistance however.

Tesseract Squires |

I'd like to hang on to the spellbook for a bit.
The way witches gain spells from books is tricky; first you have to have someone scribe a scroll from the spellbook, then you have to spend an hour/level brewing the scroll into a special potion, then you have to feed the potion to your familiar.
Unfortunately I do not have the Scribe Scroll feat. Aravashnial might, but he's blind, so I don't know if he could still do it.

Tesseract Squires |

Well I don't want someone to sell it (somehow)! :p
She might take the crossbow too if no one else needs it.

Jokum of the Breakbones |

Ahhhhh. I didn't quite follow. :P Well, he'd be a bit sensitive to that...particular phrase anyway, so the reaction still works.

Karthak Ironbreaker |

@ Xavian: If you want the cloak take it, I'm pretty good in the resistance department, the cloak would have made me even better at saving throws but if you feel you need it it's no problem.

Xaivan Slingblade |

Thanks. I have decent enough saves except fortitude, which I'm hoping to shore up.

If anyone else wants to do any RP for their shift in the flex thread, please do! It's flexible, after all :p
