No to the cancelling.
Cool, I'd like to see this through if possible :)
Me too. Hopefully without having to make a backup pc too.
Yeah there's some pretty deadly stuff in parts of the AP, so far you've done well with most of those. I think the revenant was a bit over the top but with luck we can make this beneficial to the story. I'll try to foreshadow better anything that's particularly deadly.
Oh Momijii it turns out the dead have dreams... I'll need a little time to prepare but your trip to Phrasma's realm is likely to prove eventful.
I guess I'll bot winter in a few hours.
Sorry bout that, I didn't think I really had anything to react to just yet.
Also, I'll be away at gencon next week so my posting will be spotty Wed through Sunday.
Cool hope you enjoy. I'll be on a boat then so my posting will be spotty too.
I'm taking the family off on holiday from Saturday till 29th August. We're going on a cruise so there'll be days where I don't have internet. I'll try to post when I can but things are probably going to be a bit slow for a couple of weeks.
I'll be at gencon next week from sometime wednesday through sometime sunday so my posting will be very limited then.

I've been re-reading the later books. It's a ways off but Agrippa I think you're going to enjoy book 3! If a certain mechanic works as well as I hope, I'm planning on expanding upon it for the subsequent books. I think it will answer one problem that players worried about when I was recruiting that with no full casters the party wouldn't have access to certain expected abilities (e.g. fast magical travel). This won't be a problem, and with luck the alternative will be flavorsome and memorable :)
I will have a post up later tonight. Just had my first day in becoming a teacher. Had a lot to arrange beforehand.
Careful with what you do here, this thing has pounce. It is possible to deny it full attacks if you're clever though.
DM Fang, GM Niles, two for one message here.
As one of the other players in another game said an Angry Air Elemental is heading towards the East Coast USA, I work for the local power company here and been tagged for a travel team position to scout damage for restoration crews, so if I disappear Monday, I'll be back as work allows.
Will drop a short note here when called.
I've started having some serious computer problems the last couple of days and this may lead to spotty posting until I can replace it. Hopefully that won't be the case and I will keep you updated as best I can until then.
Remind me if I forget, but next time we have a combat I think I'm going to try listing the monster's AC & CMD and SR when applicable. I know some DMs like to keep that "secret" to prevent power attack metagaming (to be fair this was a much bigger deal in 3.5). But Samnell does that in his campaigns, if anyone is metagaming - I've not noticed it. The benefit is it lets the players write more "cinematic" actions to explain how they come to hit or miss.
What do y'all think?
Doesn't bother me. Sounds like it might speed things up if anything
I see no problems with that.
No problems for me as well
I'm good with it.
Um probably a dumb question but how much did we get from the loot distribution? Can't seem to find it on my phone looking through the messages. And Filbert started the game with 2 gp an 2sp, don't think he's buying any fireworks with that.....

Alright here it is. Mark your sheets this is the final post re: Loot for a while.
Coinage: We have a total of 2302GP in coins.
Sellable items: All sold.
Unclaimed Items: Incense of Open Thoughts (2800GP), Wand of Command 38Charges (570GP)
Ok, so I'm calculating that we are gonna sell all the "Sellable Items" as well as the Scroll of Sanctuary. This leaves us with 2607 GP. Honestly, I think that we should find a decent item that'll help us in combat and buy it for whomever to use. Otherwise, we can split the coinage into shares. I propose 10 shares for the 5 of us to split. Agrippa, Filbert and Luxina because they received items should take only 1 share while Momijii and Lizzie get 3 each. The remaining "Share" can be kept for a future disbursement.
If we go with my plan then Agrippa, Filbert and Luxina get 260GP each while Momijii and Lizzie get 780GP each. This leaves 267GP in the "Group Fund"
Mark this down on your sheets
Agrippa, Filbert and Luxina get 260GP
Filbert has the Bag of Holding Type 1
Momijii and Lizzie get 780GP
267GP left on loot sheet.Edit: @GM We have a Scroll that we haven't identified. It was DC18, can we assume that someone took 10 one night since we've arrived in Thrushmoor. If we can't assume that, then Agrippa will identify the scroll forthwith. (He can "take 11" for a total of 20) Also @GM I went through the loot log and hid all the rows that we just took care of.
Thanks Niles, remember reading that just couldn't find it.
I've added your gold to your tab, Momiji.
Hold on, are we facing a roiling oil?
There's this -very- familiar picture on the map.
Sorry for the absence, dind't see any updates
GM, Filbert's 8hp force ward is down to 3 but regenerates 2hp each minute if given the chance, granted he has 8 NL damage while using force ward this way.
Standard Force Ward gives him 1 hp/level(4) + 2 hp/burn (2 burn currently) total 8 temp hp. Hit considered a miss if it doesn't exceed the temp hit points from Force Ward.
Additional, standard regeneration is 1hp/minute, for every 2 points of burn accepted the regeneration increases by 1hp, currently at 2hp regen/minute.
And sorry had forgotten to update the temp hp listed in his stat line (was showing 6hp) have updated now.
The posting rate has dropped off a lot recently :( I know the change to the forum cookies hasn't helped and you're all busy. I hope it improves.
Sorry, don't mean to let it drop off and yeah, that forum change is ticking me off having to relog all the time.
Last weekend was really busy for me with my nephew up for his 1st birthday and then Wednesday (my weekday off was busy, then things were down yesterday morning during my prime posting time. Been a rough week for posting.
Heads up folks I'm flying to Montreal on business tomorrow, returning Wednesday/Thursday. It's not a super long flight (7h 30 or so) but I'm really tired so I may not post till Monday depending on how I feel.
Safe travels, up in the mountains right now for a spot of deer hunting.
Flying back tonight, will update tomorrow after which normal service should resume.
Sorry guys, out of town at a small gaming convention and posting from my tablet sucks. I am, yet again, bleeding out as that flurry took me from full to -2 in one round.
Ouch that was brutal, Momijii, good luck during the convention and stay away from dog packs.
This fort is quite the meat grinder so far, still because of the back to back encounters many of the rooms will now be empty so the exploration bit ought to go faster.
Happy Thanksgiving and here's wishing you all the best and today finds you with good food, family and friends wherever you may be.
Heads up folks, I'm flying with the family for a quick holiday tomorrow. Posting maybe a bit slower than usual for the next week or so.
Np. Enjoy it. :D
Safes travels, ditto on the enjoy you time away
Happy holidays everyone!
Happy new year everyone!
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but I've been keeping a character journal. I've just now updated it with the last 6+ months of posts (only 3 game days lol)
Luxina, i've done what you said about the social take 10, throughout my games as well, but recently i've seen people take 10 on social rolls in a few different games (both as player and GM), and diplomacy doesn't mention, like Use Magic Device, that take 10 is off the table.
Take 10 mentions a skill check may be made that way if not within danger/(or while distracted).
But either way, it's up to the Fangdragon.
Fair enough, I could be wrong.
Two things:
1. Welcome to level 5
2. I think we're going to officially drop ABP. It'd spoil the good stuff from book 3. I want to make sure you all get (within reason) the gear you're after so a wish list of things would be useful.
Thanks for the level up GM. However not really sure what Filbert wants/needs; will have to think on that one.
+2=+6 hp new total 40hp
FCB = +1 skill point
You bowl your foes over with the sheer mass of your kinetic blast.
Attempt a trip combat maneuver check against each target damaged by your infused blast, using your Constitution modifier instead of your Strength modifier to determine your Combat Maneuver Bonus.
At 5th level, whenever a kineticist uses one or more infusions with a blast, she reduces the combined burn cost of the infusions by 1. This can’t reduce the total cost of the infusions used below 0.
She reduces the burn cost by 1 additional point at 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 20th levels.
At 5th level, a kineticist gains the ability to alter her kinetic blasts as if with metamagic feats by accepting burn. By accepting 1 point of burn, she can empower her kinetic blast (as if using Empower Spell). At 9th level, by accepting 2 points of burn, she can maximize her kinetic blast as if using Maximize Spell. At 13th level, by accepting 3 points of burn, she can quicken her kinetic blast as if using Quicken Spell.
At 17th level, by accepting 4 points of burn, the kineticist can use her kinetic blast twice with the same standard action, or swift action if she also uses metakinesis to quicken the blast.
When she uses a double kinetic blast, all modifications, such as metakinesis and infusions, apply to both of the blasts, but the kineticist needs to pay the burn cost only once.
5th Level Feat = Weapon Focus 'Kinetic Blast'
Acrobatics, Apraise(BG), Heal, Intimidate, Kn:Engineering, Perception, Sleight of Hand(BG), Stealth
Yay! I'll work on leveling the next couple of days.
Okay, 5th Level.
+ (d8HD)+1HP(Con)+1HP(FCB)=+10 HP New Total=35
+2 vs Compulsions and Poisons (Purify Mind and Body ability upgrade)
Investigator Talent: Quick Study (Ex): An investigator can use his studied combat ability as swift action instead of a move action.
Feat: Extra Investigator Talent: Expanded Inspiration (Ex): An investigator can use his inspiration ability when attempting Diplomacy, Heal, Perception, Profession, and Sense Motive checks without expending uses of inspiration, provided he’s trained in the skill.
One addtl 1st Extract, One addtl 2nd extract

GM, Instead of ABP I just kept Agrippa equiped with Red Destiny (+1 Keen SS) +1 Leather Armor and a Cloak of Resist +1.
I want to make sure nobody is behind on WBL. Assume you found +1 weapon and armour somewhere if you don't have one already. Momijii I guess that translates to a +1 amulet of mighty fists.
