I'll go for B2 as well.

Sixteen levels is why you have to take a few of them on Slow xp progression, so you'll be L12 at the end of everything. I've got most of the chronicle sheets made up, and will get them finished and posted shortly (unless someone else cuts a finger in a radiological hood...they're OK, but dealing with the aftermath took a lot of time).

Wow, sixteen levels! I had no idea. Does that mean that we can get PFS characters to level 16? That'll be exciting and different.

I suppose at this point asking, "B2 or not B2? That is the question." will make me glad that I'm not in easy reach (or throwing range) of any of you atm.

Well played, sir, on several levels. Points for the pun, and for the strategic positioning.

Chronicle sheets have been sent, and Eva (not being a slacker) acknowledged receipt already. Look them over and make sure that you got the right one; for some doubtless reasonable reason Google Docs doesn't put the file name in cleartext in the link. I mean, do they really expect someone to be able to tell the difference between https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4BbRNxbDfQSOHRnR1NWc0dkdUE/view?usp=shari ng

and

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4BbRNxbDfQSczltRWlPOTl6eTA/view?usp=shari ng

just by looking at them?

And strike that last; I somehow got the gold wrong. Replacements coming.

No, you only get to Level 13, as the final Chronicle is a 11-13. There are about six levels to slow track, in order to stay within tier and not level out.

Are replacements replaced, so we can just use the link you PM'ed, or should we wait to get another PM?

And by the way, thanks for running this!

Anyone care to speculate on what the next level's special challenge will be? We've had darkness, difficult terrain, webs and mist - haven't had a greasy floor yet! Or any explosions that I can recall.

Edit: looks like the replacement chronicles are not done, since the gold in the fill-in box doesn't match what's circled above (which is also the amount Carbide said we'd get).

You make a good point, Eva. Just by chance, I already spent some coin to get Senja some silver weapon blanch for his crossbow bolts. I do hope the baddies on level 3 are more susceptible to mind-affecting stuff than the last batch.

They got creative with the environmental conditions and whatnot, but they could have given it a little more variety in terms of monsters. Maybe it'll get better as the levels get higher, I don't know. Haven't read through it.

Perhaps I’m a party pooper but I’d say the ‘fun’ environmental effects have run their course.


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

I think it's an artifact of having the dungeon made by a lot of different very creative people who may not have spoken with each other in detail about anything but the overall metaplot--there were enough spiders on the second level to keep the entire area under obscuring mist for quite some time, and coming on the heels of the darkness effect on the first level was more than a bit much. There's at least one more major environmental issue coming up, but not for a little bit yet.

I never said they were fun. I just said the authors got creative.

I'm updating Melody right now. She'll be good to go soon.

DM, I've run into a bit of an issue in lebeling Eva... namely, there seems to be an unclear interaction between the Ki Mystic's "Ki Mystic (Su)" ability and the regular monk "Ki Pool (Su)" ability. Here's a thread I found about it, but I don't believe it's been given an official answer. Most of the posters say they treat it as the monk having two ki pools (one for the Ki Mystic abilities and one for the regular monk abilities), but there are plenty of people who rule it some other way.

So with Eva reaching level 3 of Ki Mystic, just wanted to make you aware of the discrepancy. How you run it doesn't change anything for my level-up, so feel free to rule however you think it ought to be. :)


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Eva, could you put on your profile that you're taking multiple archetypes? It'd been long enough, and it hadn't made a difference before this, so I'd forgotten.

So, at the moment I'm leaning towards making this a replacement for the standard ki pool; at 4th level you'll get a normal ki pool +2 for Ki Mystic. You've got a level to change my mind, though--I admit to some partiality towards the dual pool with different abilities powered from each.

It's in there under Feats & Traits, but I can put it somewhere more prominent if you'd like.

So it is. I usually put it into the header; see here, e.g.

Aye, I usually do as well, but it gets a bit long with three, even if you abbreviate them. :)

Eva's just about leveled... need to pick a feat and skills, and decide whether or not to buy anything. Should be finished tomorrow mid-morning...ish.ly.

I'm a little foggy on how natural attacks work. I'm hoping those of you with more familiarity might help me out with something. In Kitsune form, Kali gets a natural bite attack. The Advanced Race Guide doesn't say if it's a primary or secondary attack. Can she attack with both her bite and wakizashi at their highest attack bonuses as a full attack or does the bite become a secondary attack? To further complicate matters, she now has the Draconic Sorcerer bloodline which gives 2 claw attacks as a free action. Can she attack with the bite and both claws as a full attack with the highest attack bonuses or does the bite become a secondary attack?

Any help would be appreciated so I can maximize her potential sneak attack damage.

Bite is a primary attack by default; if you use it with a manufactured weapon, though, it gets relegated to a secondary attack. Bite+claws can be all primary, but once you introduce a manufactured weapon you'll take the penalty to the natural attacks.

Asvald asked me to pass along the news that he's sick and may be unable to post for a bit. He says to feel free to kill him off.

Spoiler:
Err, I coulda sworn he said "feel free to kill me off"... he's claiming he said "feel free to NPC me". Really though, who do you trust more?

I just texted him and didn't hear back after four whole minutes, so I think he wants his characters to be killed off so he doesn't feel pressure to post. It's the least we can do.

I spent a lot of yesterday driving, a lot of today wrestling with IKEA furniture (see HERE for accurate commentary), and will be spending a lot of tomorrow driving and visiting family. Will try to get a post up tomorrow evening.

Have fun! I have no idea how much time I'll have this weekend; I'm nominally not working tomorrow, but there are a lot of other things happening.


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

I have an ISO audit this afternoon, and it's been soaking up a lot of my attention. Will try to get something more up on the fight tonight; if not then, probably won't be until Sunday. We're having people over most of the weekend.

I'm back now — we had some unexpected company right after we got back from our trip last week, which kept me unable to post longer than anticipated.


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Not as though I've been exactly setting a blistering pace, here--the audit, then a houseful of guests, and finally an 11-hour work day catching up after the audit has kept me almost completely off the boards for the better part of a week. Back to something like a normal pace tomorrow, I hope.


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

OK, I don't see a way to avoid Kragnor dying. OTOH, a raise dead and a restoration to fix the permanent negative level will cost 6830 gp, and when you finish this level you'll get just over 3700 gp each. I *think* (and I see nothing to disabuse me of this notion in the Organized Play Guide) that you can all pitch in on the cost of the spells. Let me know how you want to handle it. There is the potential for some more fighting before you finish the level, btw.
