Makes sense to me...however I don't remember any zombies hitting quite that hard.

Yeah I have been playing D&D for 25 years or so. That was the first time I rolled a critical in conjunction with max damage. :-(

On a personal NOTE: I just realized Wayfinder #16 has finally come out!

See if you can detect MY writing! (NOTE they split my Article into 2 different parts and combined them with some other writers' work, however the 'meat' of what I wrote is still there. Enjoy!

Ok, that was weird...I just reloaded the Catacombs wondering why my Avatar was gone, and everything was uncovered. I quickly drew some new black boxes without looking. If something's messed up on my end, apologies, but it seemed to make most sense.

Looks fine to me. :-)

Hope 18 points of damage finishes it. Quick horrorifying realization - I didn't heal from yesterday, was at 9 HP before I took that 4. Was any healing done in the interim, or did I screw up by the numbers??
See here, plus answer, we've started fully healthy, today.

I think we've got plenty of diverse people as is, especially with the NPC helping us. Healing isn't an issue, the situation is just bad, not the group itself. How we deal with it now, is what will matter in the end.

Oh that Gaven'll get it before I am though down here!

I agree with Karmid. We might be in a tough spot right now, but I think we have all the versatility we need. Besides, if we were getting a full divine caster who would pick a boring cleric over a sexy, interesting oracle? Observe:

Talene Minly |

Boring Cleric? I'll have you know I put the X in sex Ro!

Lia Tani |

I concur, no full cleric needed. We got 3 characters capable of healing. With Gwydd being pacifistic and supporting, that may well be a major part of what he does.
Now, I didn't even realize we ARE in a tight spot. So I'll head on over and check gameplay now :)

Gwyddym Soarsong |

Yeah, Gwydd will be focusing his efforts on healing folks. He may even find himself getting a bit of a curse and investigating some of life's mysteries ;)

DMD |

My goodness. I have 6 separate tables in combat at once! Hopefully this week will be less hectic than last week. Within a round or two the group should likely finish these zombies off, well perhaps damage reduction may slow the hacking of parts away down a bit :-)

DMD |

So close now! Looks like the Zombies started out hot and went real real real cold...

Lia Tani |

Thing is, Lia cannot really do something against undead, YET. With only 2 Spells prepared, one mind-affecting and one tiny utility-monsters, I'm basically sitting on the sidelines, there :)
I don't think that bolt even goes through the DR, so it's also more of a "do something"-action, rather than a really meaningful one.
But I remain adamant about Lia not being a blaster. But mindless undead may make for a good excuse to pick up SOME of it.
Though a Hungry Pit could probably take care of quite a few Zombie Hordes :P

Windsight |

Since we're down to low numbers, can we get individual zombie figures?

DMD |

Then it's awesome that dots are back, right? Right? ^_^
Agreed!
Updates now!

Charm and Compulsion are subschools of Enchantment, and would usually demand a Will Save.
Enchantment spells affect the minds of others, influencing or controlling their behavior.
All enchantments are mind-affecting spells. Two subschools of enchantment spells grant you influence over a subject creature.
Subschools
Charm: A charm spell changes how the subject views you, typically making it see you as a good friend.
Compulsion: a compulsion spell forces the subject to act in some manner or changes the way its mind works. Some compulsion spells determine the subject’s actions or the effects on the subject, others allow you to determine the subject’s actions when you cast the spell, and still others give you ongoing control over the subject.
A mind-affecting spell/SLA that is not targetting Will-Save is theoretically possible, but to my knowledge, you don't go wrong by only assuming birthmark to kick in on Will Saves - courtesy of mindless creatures being immune to mind-affecting and certain immunities of subtypes regarding fortitude saves.
The more you know...Flutter Edition - (that aside: good call anyway, just trying to help streamline by pointing out it should only be one save type we need to keep it in mind for)

FYI, I will NOT be updating this thread again until Tuesday or Wednesday as I need to kick off a new campaign tomorrow night.

Gwyddym Soarsong |

Sorry! We're at the beach for vacation and this rental has substantially worse internet and signal than any we've had in the past. So I'm here, just slowly able to update things!

DMD |

Getting too late tonight to update and I have Table Top tomorrow night, updates Saturday.

Lia Tani |

Once again, plans in real-life simply don't work out.
I was to attent a training workshop most of this week, and expected to have plenty of time to post during the nights at the hotel, so was a bit lazy last weekend and spend time preparing for the trip.
Little did I know that we only met up at the hotel, then moved by bus to a cabin in the mountains for teambuilding purposes. No phone, no Wi-Fi, and even if we had, no time to post.
It was a very interesting experience, but yeah, sorry for going MIA/AWOL, I'm back and will make sure to catch up on all my games and post ASAP.

DMD |

I think we may have lost Windsight. The Player has not even updated his own PbP in over a month and no update here in a month either.
Shall I re-recruit for a 5th once this arc underground is over?

Karmid Groundbreaker |

If he's not back by the time we finish this area...sure that may be necessary.

An AC of 13 Gwydd? Nonviolence is one thing, but not using protection is something completely different.
Not using protection puts both you and your partners at risk. We, your partners, beg you to start using protection as soon as you can find some!

Lia Tani |

*looks at AC of 13*
*cocks head*
I don't use protection either? Nobody ever complained about it...not one of my partners ever mentioned they wanted me to...
To be honest, I like the natural feeling, the freedom it affords me to work my magic, feeling the weave gathering power and then explosively unloading it inside me to push me over the edge and allow me to change reality.

Gwyddym Soarsong |

Gwydd hasn't ever been put in a situation (until recently) that required him to be armored. He will be seeking out some nice flexible leather armor as soon as they get out of these catacombs.

Gwyddym Soarsong |

Also, let's not forget that even if I was in full plate, I was going to take that damage. Back to back natural 20s (to hit and then to confirm). This devil didn't like my dancing.

:D It really was a good opp. Gwydd, so naive in the ways of the world. Dancing through life, mindless and careless.....errrr....wrong world.
