Back and catching up. A long flight from Japan so I'm a little jet-lagged, but I'm working on it.

Let's say that night you can sleep for 8 hours. How are you dividing the night into shifts? whose taking what shifts? Who is sleeping in the north bedroom and who is steeping in the south? Those who are taking a watch, where are you watching from? Remember this is a two-story house. Cheiton says his house is secure, but will volunteer for shift to help out.

Do we have a map of the house to have a clearer idea of the environment and indicate where we pass the night and where we watch?

This is my attempt for what Shalissa does:
- As we are 6 with Cheiton, we can divide the night in three shifts and have 2 people on each
- Shalissa takes first shift (just a proposal to move us forward, can do anyone as she has no spells to recover today)
- Shalissa sleeps in the north bedroom (we can roll to decide randomly)
- During the watch, Shalissa will watch from the second floor, moving from window to window to have a clearer look

Maybe we can roll randomly where and when everyone is.

Ndombe will curl up on the floor, right against the door. Happy to take whatever shift assigned.


NARRATOR Skirgaard GS Map / SS MAP/

Here is the map of the 2nd floor. There is no map of the 1st floor. I think I made this sharable so put yourselves where you want. The bedroom in the SE corner is Cheiton's.

Thanks a lot! Placed Shalissa in the northern room. During her shift she will be walking around the second floor and looking from the different windows (low-light vision).

The rooms seems pretty small to share - so I'm thinking some of us might end up on the floor in the common area.

It looks like we are unnecessarily stuck at this point.

Can we just roll to randomly determine where is who and who does what shift GM Rich? :)

Seconded. Only thing is that Nothus will certainly not want to be separated from Blackleaf.

If you'll allow me a standard action still, do I have line of effect to the climbers?

May I suggest to go ahead and take your action as if the answer was affirmative, Ndombe?

If the GM says yes, he will need to ask you what are you doing with that standard action and we will be holding again the thread more days.

If you give your action in advance, and the GM does not think it is possible, we can just ignore that part and continue with the round without delays :)

Thanks!

According to the map it would seem that is Nothus. So, unless something different is stated, I will assume that in my next post.

Have we lost Cevill? It has been 20 days since he last posted anything.

Maybe we should bot him, we have been on hold a whole week already waiting for him to post his combat round.

This week is the final week for Grad school and then I will be off visiting family for two weeks.

The good news is that once I return, I will have more time at night since I won't be doing homework to post!

No, no, to use Nader's phrase, that is "unsafe at any speed." We dodged a bear the other night driving through the mountains at around 40mph. I'd not have wanted to make that contact either.

You don't expect to see a bear driving, I'm sure he was unlicensed!

Ok Heroes, today begins the last of great adventure of my summer. I'm off to Summer Camp with the Scouts BSA Troop today for a week. That will be immediately followed by my family's reunion.

I should be back online and ready to continue saving, or subjugating, the world on 19 July.

This is a spell-like ability at a 10th level caster level. In reading the fear spell, it does not mention a new save each round so I am thinking that if one fails, they are afraid for 10 rounds if the save is made, then the PC is shaken for one round. Fellow DM's, let me know your thoughts...

Your ruling sounds accurate to me.

Usually, when you lose sight of the source, you are free to stop and try do something else, like using a remove fear scroll or similar thing.

Yes - so I guess I should map out line of sight to know when Nothus can stop running- though he can't remove fear, so it won't really change much.

How long does this fear effect last? From a mask at DC 20 that is impressive. Oh, and I want that item. At least the necromancer is blind so will make it harder to pursue us or get away.

Well kill the SOB and take it! LOL!

War Mask of Terror

Aura moderate necromancy; CL 9th
Slot head; Price 9,000 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

Description
Shamans and warriors of many of the indigenous tribes of western Garund add to their fierceness and mystique by wearing wooden masks that bear terrifying visages of demonic spirits. A war mask is considered sacred and personal, and is often handed down to the next generation when a wearer dies. Individual masks are often notorious, and many tribesfolk can readily identify masks of other tribes with a DC 15 Knowledge (local) check.

A war mask of terror provides its wearer with a +2 competence bonus on Intimidate checks and a +1 deflection bonus to Armor Class. In addition, the wearer may cast scare once per day.

Other war masks exist with different abilities;

some have higher deflection bonuses, while others can cast bull’s strength, fear, or flesh to stone instead of scare.

Creation
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, scare, shield;

Cost 4,500 gp

That's a good point. Maybe it is a good idea to add the elementals attacks just in case the GM considers they apply :)

No need for any of the loot. Not in combat to use the amulet but could hold the spear to use a walking staff and be able to threaten someone with it for flank perhaps.

To my fellow Pathfinders, adventurers, and companions in storytelling,

On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to take a moment to wish all my fellow countrymen and gaming friends a wonderful holiday. Whether your celebrations are grand feasts with family and friends or quiet moments of reflection and gratitude, may your day be filled with joy, warmth, and, of course, delicious food.

I am thankful for this shared journey of imagination, camaraderie, and the epic tales we create together. Here’s to more adventures, victories, and memorable moments to come!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Question about the charm person, does our allies being attacked count towards breaking the enchantment per the last paragraph?


NARRATOR Skirgaard GS Map / SS MAP/

Looking at the spell, it says, "If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw."

So anybody who failed their saving throw by 5 is not affected.
