Is that a real place?
Pausing a bit to give Mel a chance to post when she returns from yonder highlands.
Playing the bagpipes all the way, I'm sure. ;)
Funny you should mention that! A good Scottish(ish) friend passed away recently, so we sang Loch Lomond and drank some Scotch at high altitudes. A very small amount of Scotch, due to the altitude.
Please accept my condolences for your loss.
Thank you. His friends in his town launched a burning longship for him, which is pretty badass. (How they did that without drawing police or coast guard I don't know)
I'll be on the road this weekend, so may be delayed responses until Sunday.
Sorry for the short notice. I am traveling and have much worse internet than I expected. Please play me until I return late Saturday.
No problem, you should be able to post when you get back. It will be before I can update anyway.
*groan* Looks like a whiff...
Okay, strategy time. Do we cut and run, or turn this into a battle where we've got more of an advantage?
If we can draw the wererats out into the tunnel, we might have an easier time flanking them.
How are we doing for (healing) magic? At least one of those wererats was smart enough to order an attack on our healer, so we definitely need to keep Cherias and Melianthe safe.
Think the chance for "strategy" fled several rounds ago. We need to get back together and not let them flank all of us. In the tunnels

DR 10 is rough without silver weapons. And Segang has 4 or 5 rounds of Rage left. He is trying to use them strategically. At least he is not fatigued between rages.
Not having silver is our own Damn fault. We shoulda sunk money into a weapon for Segang. Lesson learned.

*whistles innocently while hiding silver mace behind back* Doo-dee-doo...
We are overwhelmed--we gotta run and yes, get a silver weapon for just about everyone.
Money is pretty tight. Segang had two silvered weapons, and still has one. But they are good for only 1 attack each.
Segang is unwounded. I think we got this IF no more reinforcements show up. We do need to get back to back though. My hope is that the one were falls into the pit next round. 'Crosses fingers'

I am having internet trouble. Will post tomorrow at the earliest. Sorry...
My home internet is being ... much less than cooperative (again) and I may not be able to come online every day. Please don't think that I've given up on the game! I will try to return as I can... Feel free to DMPC me if such becomes necessary.
Melianthe, if I move to I11, can you back me up by attacking the wererat at I10 on your turn and dealing it damage? I don't mind taking a hit from the one in back if I can just be sure the one in front of me dies this round.
I'll drawn an AoO by drawing a weapon, but I need to do damage, so yes.
If you hit that guy hard enough, we may be able to drop him between the two of us. I'm game if you are!
Drawing a weapon doesn't provoke unless it's stored in a backpack or something. Drawing a dagger on your belt or a spear on your back is safe.

Realized that too late. This is harrrd!
I wanted to give a heads up that I'll be traveling from Wednesday through Sunday (going to Gen Con) and my posting will be limited. I'll still try to check this game at least once a day, but will likely be posting from a phone when I do post.
< Jealous!
Long day at work and I'm lagging bad... I'll strive to get the update out tomorrow.
I worked 10 hours and then 2.5 hours at boy scouts. Tired here too.
Oh wow, enjoy Gen Con! The grandpappy of all cons!
How was GenCon? =D
Great! But exhausting. And the drive home was almost double what it should have been due to wet roads, construction and a pretty bad wreck.
I have attended a fair number of conventions but this one was BIG. There were more people playing Magic than play all games at Dragon Con. There was 2 to 3 times the number of Pathfinder tables running that I have seen at Winter Fantasy or Origins. So it was big.
And in general the level of play was good as people willing and able to travel to game are usually relatively intelligent. BUT, there was an contra effect for DMs. SOME of my DMs (Certainly not all, and not even most) were "insert additive from list here". List: bad, Inexperienced, green, unskilled, lacking imagination, lacking rules knowledge, etc.
What happens is that people who can not afford to attend go as DMs and earn free rooms and badge. Some of these should not be DMs. Sorry. Did not mean to rant, but this "effect" has been on my mind. Maybe PFS needs a DM test or something. And it seemed like the worst DMs were the least open to listening to other rules interpretations. I could go on, but the main point is that I had a very good time. Its just cool to be in a room with 800 people all playing the same interactive.
Awesome! I've never been. GenCon's on my list of things to do... someday!!
Segang, did you take the ring off?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Yes
Oh thank goodness. Cherias didn't take half the damage then.

I just checked... we've been running this fight for 2 months now! =\
Did not help that I could not hit for the first 5 rounds or so. :/ Perhaps you should not have let us come down here with only one small silver weapon between us all… :P
Cant blame that one on the DM.
Absinthe ... you gotta withdraw east into a tunnel and only face one at a time or pray that you can flee around to us. Segang can block this side and just face the leader.

I think I'll drop a Darkness on them, then try to wriggle out carrying Mel... I wish the ruddy scorpion would move to defend its mistress already. ***HINT!***
What's a "shirt re-roll"? =) Is that like when a die lands crooked against a book, but you give it a favorable nudge?
No. In Society play if you have a sanctioned Pathfinder shirt you may make one re-roll per game. This is a way that they encourage shirt sales. They have extended this to the Character Folio and the goblin plushies. And to encourage DMing, or at least to reward them, you can add the number of DM stars to that reroll. Since I am a 3 star DM I would get to add +3.
Hey! Hey!!! DM Nomad Sage, is the pseudodragon with us?! o_o If it would be so kind as to sting one of those wererats on the neck and it just moofs its save vs. poison...
On another note, DM Nomad Sage: Can I do that? Drop a Darkness, grab Mel and flee for the eastern tunnel, all in one round? I await your ruling...
I just looked at the new battle-map...
If only Mel and Cherias weren't down, I'd be acrobatting it over to the western tunnel. If Seren then moves in, we could pin the lead wererat in a sneak attack sandwich and finish him off! >_<; I don't dare do it with the healers down for the count and in danger!
Then again... how dare I not? @_@ We're quickly running out of chances and options here... Urgh! Mel, I leave it up to you. You want me to focus on rescuing you, or should I try to get over and gank the big rat?
Not all at once... casting darkness = standard action, picking up Mel would be at least a move action. You wouldn't be able to run away til next round.
Glaaahh~! @_@
Seren? Mel? You on board with plan sneak attack sandwich?
Seren? Got anything left that can hurt this guy...?
I can't hurt any more, all I can do is distract ... I have 2 illusions left. We need to find a way out. If you flee (leaving Mel), and hopefully get around to the sewer (from whence the 2 wererat s that flanked me came, we can regather with Segang and get back in to rescue Mel and Cherias ... his rage is about to drop soon. If Absinthe holds her ground, you're gonna get dropped. Too many of them and too few hps.

Goldurnit. @_@ Mel? You okay with that...?
You are not going to convince Segang to retreat and leave party members behind. He will die first.
You still have decent hp... Hmmm. The alternative is that you take one step down so I can sneak attack ratboy, and we hope the others run if I can manage to gank him.
