Yeah, holidays will be busy no matter what. I should still be around most of the time, aside from the main event.
By the way, writing sonnets is freaking hard. I spent hours on that little bit, and it still doesn't even fit the damn metre.
Hey guys! Happy Holidays! I'm working back into my games from my absence, but I've been battling Vertigo these last weeks and it's making reading more challenging than I would like and turning posting into a chore. I'm still here, just wanted to let you know why I'm not super responsive.
Are you waiting for the course to be finished and are slipping away at the next break or are you slipping away while the course is ongoing?
*shrugs*
Whichever seems more convenient.
Clueless Tal will just wait till signaled by the others. While perceptive he is not the most intuitive in these situations.
@Tal: These are not conventional doors with knobs or locks. Are you touching the 'door'?
I suppose so since there is no other way to inspect it. Also assuming that Nabe tells Tal that the magical trap is disarmed.
this doesn't look work related he who does so much!!
?
One of the guys I work with got on to my computer and is trying to have fun at my expense.
WTF?!?!
Not cool.
That is his idea of being funny. Lame and childish but easier to put up with and ignore than make a big deal out of it.
I'm sorry you have to put up with stuff like that :(
*offers hugs*
Its been that way for 6 or 7 years now. Oh well, at least I get to check the boards and post at work.
*nods*
Does Monday disappear as well as she touches the door?
Good question!
Here's the roll. I don't really know what it's for, so I can't think of a narration.
@Naberius: To confirm, are you doing a spellcraft check on all the items in the handy haversack?
Oh, yeah. That's the one you specifically asked for. From now on, feel free to roll magic item identification checks for me. No need to waste multiple days waiting for me to roll.
Due to the nature of the object, I thought it would be best for you to do the roll.
Okay, you had me confused there for a moment.
So, uh... aside from being dreadfully cursed, does anyone mind if Naberius claims the items? I don't know if Mera or Monday can get any use out of the scrolls, but Naberius is the only one that can benefit from the pearl of power. The handy haversack could be useful as well, seeing as Naberius is the weakest member of the group. He's already only barely above his light load limit.
Fine by me.
Assuming there are no objections, Naberius will claim the haversack and its contents.
@DM RichD: There are some good questions in the gameplay thread, but I don't know if Naberius has the answers. Is there a way of determining how long it will take for the curse to go off, or what the "predetermined event" is?
Most of those spells are Necromancy, will Nabe even use them? :3
haha good point Monday. Perhaps Teuz will need to be next o him to get the right vibe.
*nods*
Naberius finds all necromancy distasteful, but mostly as an extension of his revulsion towards the living dead. I think he can stomach spells that don't deal directly with undead creatures. Even then, I think he'd rather take control of a hostile zombie rather than have it claw his face off. Creating undead is where he draws the line.
With that said, the scrolls are totally up for grabs, if Monday can use them. I agree that they're more her style, anyway.
Monday can use all of those... save for command undead, oddly enough.
@Naberius: Unfortunately you do not know the particulars of the pact between the caster and the devil including the conditions the devil appears.
@Monday: Okay, so do you want any of them or not? Just trying to make sure so I know what I need to mark down.
Um, yeah I'll take them unless you were wanting to use them.
So what are the thoughts on Starfinder? Excited, meh, or not at all interested?

I'm not really up to speed on it. Where can I find a decent synopsis?
I am curious about it, but I am not sure how eager I am to buy another set of books and/or another adventure path subscription.
Same here. I am content with pathfinder the way it is and I don't have the time or resources to go diving into another set of books.
I have a few friends that are really hyped about it, so I'll probably end up trying it at some point through them. Personally, I can think of a bunch of other scifi RPGs that I'd rather try. My main gripe with D&D/Pathfinder (as much as I love the latter) is that they make it near impossible to get anyone to try out new systems, so I'm sort of hoping that Starfinder bombs, honestly. :/
O_O
Okay, DM help-Can the howler even climb out of the pit if it makes its clinmb check because half of it would be out and half in or does it need to bull rush Tal?
The squares surrounding the pit are sloped. Because the howler failed its save, it slides in and falls to the bottom of the 20-foot pit (meaning it should take falling damage accordingly) and is now located in the same 10-feet area which the pit occupies on the grid. It can't really be "half in." As for climbing out, it could either squeeze into the space in front of Tal, or get out on the other side where there is more space.
Got it. So 20 feet should be 2d6 damage and a climb DC 25 to get out of the pit on the side furthest from all of you.
Yup, unless it wants to fight Tal while standing precariously on the sloped side of the pit and suffering from squeezing penalties.
Hmm, I'm not sure if the pit goes away at the end of this turn or at the beginning of the next one. It's been around for four rounds now, in any case.
I got some real mileage out of that spell, that's for sure.
I would think it goes away in this round. My question is...when it goes, what happens to the howler inside of it?
"When the duration of the spell ends, creatures within the hole rise up with the bottom of the pit until they are standing on the surface over the course of a single round."
So yeah, it is actually the round after.
Two things:
1. I am assuming that even though the pit is filling in, it won't be completely filled in until the end of Naberius' turn meaning the howler can't make an attack.
2. My understanding is that Tuesday, while at 0 HP does not go back to the Ethereal Plane until his negative HP is equal to or greater than his con score. Is he conscious or unconscious?
I believe that the pit would be fully filled in at the start of Naberius turn much like how a summoned monster would get its attack and then have its duration expire.
I always considered all spells to expire at the beginning of their casters original init. It makes tracking more difficult but it keeps from having a character delay so the spell never ends.
As for Tuesday...I have no idea.
