Might just hang out up here and cast spells! LOL
I'm assuming that I also do not have any of my equipment?

Kyra Greenstar |

Hey all, about to be leaving for a work conference for the next three days. I should be available during that time, but just in case... if I'm not active and you guys need to bot Kyra in case of combat, feel free!

Thrall the Lucky |

Looking back it seems I somehow included Good Hope's bonus into Thrall's actions. Sorry, that means we'll have to treat his tests as 2 points less from last round and his damage as well.

Kyra Greenstar |

Hey all, I'm back in the office. Sorry for my absence, the sessions were actually interesting this time around! I'll work on getting caught up this morning.

Grey, the Lady's dog |

So...
I'm back as well.
Had a few down months, but doing better. Going to update Grey to Trickster 2/Rogue 8 & have him start Actively participating again.
edit: So I'm pretty much absolutely going to be going all Dex in terms of where I'm putting my ability points, but I'm torn on the other stuff. My original idea with him was to eventually pick up the ability to cast a limited # of spells to include shrink so he could get small, thereby opening even more targets for his Titan's Bane Trickster ability, but it's been long enough that I'm not wedded to that idea any longer. Suggestions?
second edit: Holy S@@*! I forgot just how much BS you can pull with Mythic Trickster! No wonder Whats-her-name went with that instead of Archmage...
third edit: Knowledge (Local) or Linguistics? Those are the only two skills I have been keeping up that I might be able to stop maintaining Ranks in. Which is less likely to continue being useful?

Grey, the Lady's dog |

So, it turned out Linguistics was/is a Background Skill, so I didn't have to cull either of them, Yay!
Now I have to decide between Orc or Celestial. Recommendations?

Grey, the Lady's dog |

Trickster 2
+2 Dexterity +4 HP
Amazing Initiative (Ex):
Trickster Tier 1 Ability Astounding Disable (Ex)
Whenever you use Disable Device to disarm a trap or open a lock, doing so is only a move action and does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Rogue 8
Dex +1 (brings it to 24) +1 Ref, +1 AC/touch, +1 to so many skills…
BAB +1, bringing total BAB up to +6/+1; Ref +1; + 6hp
Improved Uncanny Dodge
Rogue Talent: Minor Magic (Prestidigitation)
Also Trapfinding goes up to +4
Skill points (8 plus Int, plus Background 2)
Acrobatics +1
Bluff +1
Climb +1
Disguise +1
Disable Device +1
Escape Artist +1
Knowledge (Local) +1
Linguistics +1 Orc
Perception +1
Sleight of Hand +1
Stealth +1

So, assuming the icons on the Roll20 map are correct, it looks like Kyra is down to less than 20 HP, which is why Grey was making the snarky comments. If that is incorrect, well, it's not as if he doesn't make snarky comments as a general thing...

Kyra Greenstar |

If no one else has a suggestion, might as well go through one of the areas we know has enemies within. Nothing worse than going into something potentially worse and then simply have those enemies come up behind us while we are engaged with that other thing.

Taedric Starfell |

Makes sense - though I do still like the idea of blocking one of the doors so we're not dealing with multiple encounters.

Grey, the Lady's dog |

Camris, could you update our Health bars to reflect the healing, or in my case added HP from levelling, we've received?
Pretty Please? Something tells me we are gonna be entering combat soon...

Kyra Greenstar |

Just a heads up everyone. I'll be having a foot surgery this Thursday and taking the week to recover. I'm not sure what my posting rates will be like during that time, but seeing as I'll be on bed rest for several days following it.... as long as I'm not too doped up on pain meds, I should be around. Just wanted to give you all a notice real quick.

Alorah |

Good luck. Hope it all goes smoothly.

Taedric Starfell |

Hope it went well, Kyra.

Grey, the Lady's dog |

Wow, my Will save really sucks. That's probably going to bite me in the butt later...

Alorah |

So....
"The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable. Asking the creature to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell."
Once combat has started, being stabbed a few times and still walking to the statue to pray doesn't seem very reasonable, sounds more like Dominate. It's essentially "Walk past these armed men trying to kill you, to say a prayer"

Grey, the Lady's dog |

I can see an argument for Grey still being under the effect of the Suggestion given that he really has yet to be seriously harmed or even threatened* by the present circumstances. Alorah & Kyra however...
Yeah, I would also argue it stopped being 'reasonable' once to-hit rolls started being called for...
*: Holy S*!+, if I'm right, these guys have to roll an 18 or better to hit Grey...

Grey, the Lady's dog |

Thrall, I would say next round go head after the leader. I'm actually doing alright, I think.
Of course, now that I've said that, is when something horrible is gonna show up...

Taedric Starfell |

Hi folks,
I'm about to be away for 2 weeks - but with the usual "post-trip" recovery time, I think it's safer to say I'm away 'til Jan 16th (so we can all be pleasantly surprised if I'm online sooner).
Please feel free to bot Taedric while I'm gone. Swingy the sword, do the hurt. (Sadly, no room to charge in here - but if there were.... Do that.)

Alorah |

GM, any thoughts on the effects of the spell in combat given the wording and current situation? Would likely affect a few people's next posts

DM-Camris |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Upon Further Review; objection sustained.
Suggestion would not make a character move in combat. Nor would it stop a character from going back and helping a friend in trouble if needed.
Also, if anyone does take damage under Suggestion, or are slapped by someone not under Suggestion, the get another save against it.
I'll put the characters back where they were and refund any AoO damage they took last round.

Kyra Greenstar |

Hey everyone, I'm back! I'm sorry for the extended absence. My recovery went well, but I was distracted a lot and found that trying to post from my phone was a serious pain in the butt. I'll work on getting caught up ASAP!

Kyra Greenstar |

Hey Camris,
Could you just clarify with me a few things? Are we on the 2nd round of combat currently? And is Kyra still under the effects of the spell cast by the succubus?

Kyra Greenstar |

Kyra; Yes, just finishing up Round 2 tomorrow. You still have time!
Yes, those characters with a red dot on their token are still under the influence of the Suggestion spell.
Sorry, had a very busy weekend. Okay so still under the effects of the spell, but given the combat I should be able to take actions normally from my understanding?
*EDIT*
Also, how long has it been since our battle with the vrock? I just remembered that Good Hope had 7 minutes on it's duration upon casting. So, it is potentially still up.

Grey, the Lady's dog |

Yeah, I know. I make NO damn sense...
