That's not going to leave us any time to negotiate a counteroffer. We're going to have to assume we're taking the lesser salamanders' deal and go in to kill. Is that the plan? No talking, just killing? 'Cause Nuveril could totally get behind that, but I didn't think that was the plan.
(Of course, odds are, we'll get attacked on sight anyway, so it might not matter.)
The endure elements doesn't help at all above 140 degrees F or 60 centigrade so its really one communal resist energy or more depending on how long you think you think you might need.
Note also.
Lava
Lava or magma deals 2d6 points of damage per round of exposure, except in the case of total immersion (such as when a character falls into the crater of an active volcano), which deals 20d6 points of damage per round.
Damage from lava continues for 1d3 rounds after exposure ceases, but this additional damage is only half of that dealt during actual contact (that is, 1d6 or 10d6 points per round). Immunity or resistance to fire serves as an immunity to lava or magma. A creature immune to fire might still drown if completely immersed in lava (see Drowning).
Like most DM's I think I think theres a missing 'or resistance' after immunity in the second last line. Being resistant to fire doesn't make you immune to fire merely reduces the damage. So yeah you really don't want to fall in.
In 9 minutes you can still have a short discussion :)
We just can't role play this one to death. Grall will follow Khalid's orders and act when directed too....
Can we assume Linah chucks Sajan a CLW before sleep. he won't heal fully overnight without one but hes guaranteed to have full HP tomorrow irrelevant of the number rolled on the D8.
For the mephit damage? She already did that. Rolled a 7 i think.
So one "Resist elements, communal" and one regular resist element. I've updated my character sheet.
pushes button....is this thing still on???
Dan everything ok?

Dan made an invisible post in the game thread yesterday. I only saw it because I was on the messageboards when he posted and it showed up in the side bar; it never showed up in the thread.
Basically, he's very busy and hopes to update soon.
Seems to be a lot of that going around (the being busy that is) it seems almost all of the games I am in or am running have stalled for similar reasons.
Gearing up for Thanksgiving here in the States. Don't know what excuse the rest of the world has. :)
Slow player posts, busyness with work and an impendng visit from an RL friend.
Are you waiting on anything from us in Sargava, or just time to bump us to our last night in the palace or morning of departure or whatever? I think the conversation with Qhude is just to provide IC cover for his and Jakob's OOC truce. (That relationship reminds me of Nuveril and Felliped. :P)
Sorry didn't realise there was a problem with the notification post. Just a particularly bad patch at work. Working on game post now.

I'm actually just swamped making my new laptop work and looking after my guest (DM Aron).

Ooh, new laptop! I'm in day 2 of one myself. Haven't even installed HeroLab on here yet or transferred any files. I had a near-endless list of bookmarks on the old one; seeing how many of them I really need. So far I've only got email and various Paizo-related pages.
Well this one came with no drivers, including ethernet and wireless. So no internet to download the drivers it needed to get to the internet to download the drivers...
Sorted it now.
Well, that sounds considerably less frivolous than mine. :P
Will post Sajan's action tomorrow i'm in bed here (2AM)
Heck, I'd let you roll all my dice if I could. The dice roller likes you more than it does me.
Sajan's form has historically been trading off hitting his clutch grapples with horrible initiative although the later has noticeably trended up in recent fights. Come to think of it its always me rolling initiative so perhaps there is some favored dice roller activity going on :)
This is unlikely to make a difference but I kind of figure Grall is still standing up with his weapon in his hand. Its a bit hard to reconcile paralysed and stun. The former is much worse defensively but says nothing about you dropping your stuff or falling over while the defensive penalties of stun aren't as bad but you expressly do drop things.
Anyway in my head he's standing there overcome with pain, locked muscles clenched around his sword hilt :)
Edit: And if anyone is wondering I tend to think creatures need higher intelligence than these snakes have to launch a proper coup de grace.
The lying down was more of an assumption on my part. I figured getting struck by the snake it would most likely knock me prone even if the poison didn't. Kind of agree that my weapon is probably still in my hand...not that it is doing me much good at this point... :)
I start to think about the movie Anaconda in this scene...waiting for one of them to start opening its mouth wide to try and start swallowing me whole. Of course it would get a rude case of indigestion if I became unparalyzed inside of it...
May not make you feel any better but I was kind of thinking that the poison eventually makes you burn up from the inside out and then they bite off chunks of the charred flesh and organs...

Grall needs more scars for his accomplishment feat...keep chomping away :)
If you can't manage Sajan's ungodly ACs, you'll just have to take solace in the fact that you took less damage than the rest of us. :)
Heh... Can get up to 33 AC with a ki point ;).
Heh... Can get up to 33 AC with a ki point ;).
Make that 29 AC without a wizard. :-)
Seriously, 6 points doesn't bother me.
When the monster charges through the entire party and smashes me to the brink of death... that bothers me. :-)
I'm used to Daniel killing my PCs though, so I have some spares ready. :-)

Wizards...you are all the same, always trying to blame someone else. Instead of blaming us for not protecting you, maybe you should figure out ways to make us more desirable targets!!! :)
Bah typical evoker, can dish it out but can't take it :)

Lol. Yeah, that's why I've learned glitterdust. :-)
I just realised I've created a scenario requiring the intervention of the greatest tool ever created for an adventuring party ......... ten. foot. pole.....
Hmm yes.....
..... Adamantine. ten. foot. pole....

Thanks for your 'help'. :-D
BTW I decided to try my hand at running a game. If you have time to post steadily and are interested please check it out...DM Stephen's Serpents Skull Recruitment.
BTW I guess my 1 rank in swim is already going to come in handy :)

Thanks for the heads up. The only reason I won't be applying is due to being in a Serpent's Skull game already.
I'm not only already in a Serpent's Skull game but basically at my PbP limit right now. Good luck with your campaign, though! Unsolicited opinion: Mark Sweetman is excellent; he's in AK's Sargava game with me.

Seconded. One to accept for sure.
Nuverrril is rrright
Wow, fairly certain that's a sentence that's never been spoken aloud before. ;)

What about
"You were right." ?Or doesn't that have enough 'r's in it? :-D
Betrayed by gnomes and let down by companions and even the gods themselves, Nuveril's negativity has been proven justified time and time again. I've even arranged for her tombstone to read "Told you so." :-D

Hey when your rrright your rrright!!! lol's
I think its time you used a nat 20 on someone else, Sajan's getting a complex about being struck by blows he can't dodge or deal with...
I had a question about full attacks. Do you need them to be fully declared in advance? If my 2nd attack drops a foe can I re-direct the third to someone else in reach?
Also... for Khalid, wouldn't the 'Catch yourself while falling' use of the climb skill apply?
I'll do my best.
I am fine with you re-directing. Each attack is resolved sequentially and not doing so seems to me to be going back to a 2nd edition mindset where you declared everything at the start of your impulse. I certainly do it with monsters where it is relevant (ie Xulthos dropping Sajan and making remaining attacks against Grall) and it wouldn't make sense to disallow it but allow the "turn a full attack to a standard and move where the first attack hits" houserule.
Practically, if your second attack had of hit I would have applied it to the first snake. Just went with your description given the miss.
For the catching yourself I went back and forth on that. Its a tough check and I think thats because it is literally catching yourself while falling (ie dropping at some speed). I figured in the circumstances a reflex check to grab on to something when the rope was cut was more appropriate but perhaps I'm being arbitrary.
What do people think? DM making up unecessary rules?

Yup. :p.
But thanks for the clarity on full attacks.
Now get posting as Stannislav and Marcus ;).
Flying things and things fighting from lava? This is certainly an AP for ranged characters to shine in. Too bad we don't have any. :P
Or a Monk with crazy acro skills :)

At least I have a +2 strength bow now and a +3 dex so I can do some damage...need the +5 str bow!

Too bad you're up top. :P

Yeah, and Nuveril has her 1d4+2 javelins that won't get past DR. She can either hang back and do nothing or go do something stupid and probably die. Wonder which is more in character....

Not going to complain, especially since the ruling favored me :)

It is a super awesome fight for Sajan yes. I'm kind of glad you came this way so I could try it out.

We'll go with it and I'll endeavour to add an additional layer of self-moderation in future.
