Torches would have a limited affect on the swarm of bats. But it will be better then a piercing weapon.
Try to think about how a normal bat swarm would act around fire.
LOL

Rather difficult since bats don't actually swarm or attack people. But yes hitting something as fast as a bat is difficult at best.
We may have to just haul in some firewood and burn them out if no one else has anything. Clerics just don't have a 1st or zero level spell that will work
The building is stone correct? What about the interior ceilings and roof? I don't want an inferno collapsing on our mushrooms.
Just want to point out we've been at this location for two weeks. Seems like we've slowed to a crawl.
game time the group has only been here an hour and a half.
Tomorrow night I'm going to be out of touch at UFC 170 here in Vegas! I put some money on Rhonda Rousey despite the crap odds at -450.
Doesnt look like much room for keanan to get in there. Can i get in there and attack the first skeketon or am i blocked?
@Keanan
Nope no room for anyone else in there.
Nice Post Nebdel i like how you used your characters skills to gain the info instead of meta gaming.
This is a fast paced game if you don't post within 24 hours of your last post I will move your character with the group. If you don't post within 12 hours of your last post during combat I will skip your turn. Please let the group know if you will not be able to post. Your character will not gain any experience during an unexplained absence.
Let's go guys combat is on!
Hey guys,
Just wanted to apologize for my sluggishness in posting, you are all great players and don't deserve your game stalled because of me.
I'll re-double my efforts to post more frequently and try to move my schedule around a bit to be better accessible during the same times you guys are.
Its been a great game, I appreciate all your patience with me.
@ DM Giants
Just be sure to select the most updated map when you say the map is updated, because then people use that map to update.
I noticed my map move was eliminated on your updated map.
Sorry. I double check to make sure from now on.
August can you please put your stats in your profile under your name like the other players. Example: Keanan's is Male Dwarf Druid/1 (HP 6/10 | AC:15 | T:10 | FF:15 | CMB: 3 | CMD:13 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+0 | Will:+6 | Init:+0 | Perc: +6 | Speed 20)
will do!
Thank you sir.
From the map, I guess I didn't realize there was enough of '12' left to counts as a room.
GM Giants, What are the walls, ceiling, and roof of this portion of the structure made out of? If it is all rock, we're pretty good to go. If it has some wood, shingles, tar, tiles, etc... we will have to be more careful.
But we should be able to smoke them out. Get wet/green leaves, green grass, leafy vines, moss, bark, and things like that should just barely burn and give off huge amounts of smoke without any significant danger of it spreading.
If each of us has a backpack full of dirt ready to dump on any area that spreads also with our canteens or any other containers filled with water, we should be fairly safe to try and control it.
After just getting smacked around by that skeleton, any chance that the +1 leathers are still in somebody's bag?
Also, I'm holding this hammer..do we have any information on it yet? or should I just track it as "unknown silver hammer" for now?
@Nebdel the building mostly stone will a stone or clay tile roof. So your plan sounds good for the purpose of not burning the place down.
@August I assumed you had the Masterwork Studded Leather. The hammer is unknown right now.
Well I don't have a +1 leather on the loot sheet.
I've looked back through and can't find it in the stuff we found.
Where was that from?
And yes, we gave the MW studded leather to August.
@Nebdel the +1 August is talking about is the Masterwork Studded Leather.
@August it up in the Corebook. It will give you +1 to your AC over your Leather Armor and being that it is Masterwork it has a 0 Armor Check penalty at skills instead of the -1 ACP for normal Studded Leather.
oh cool. I'll update my own sheet, and track the hammer for now.
thanks
updated my AC stat to 18 on the sheet based on the armor
just a thought, what if I wielded the torch as a weapon, to keep my shield? How would that work, some type of improvised weapon?
If a torch is used in combat, treat it as a one-handed improvised weapon that deals bludgeoning damage equal to that of a gauntlet of its size, plus 1 point of fire damage.
So a -4 to hit 1d3 damage +1 fire damage
I have dinner plans tonight around 6pm EST. Probably wont be back for a few hours, so expect me to post sometime closer to 10pm EST tonight.
@Jeffrey you are right go ahead and delete your post
I was thinking that the others did not have a way to attack the spider so I was moving on to the next round but they could always try a ranged attack into melee with you providing cover for the spider. Not likely they will hit but they might. They could do other actions as well.
This was a big OOC comment, so I moved it here, but it's directed at GM and everyone.
First, my character is assuming it's a spider in the corner (but he'll ask it to respond just in case it's a trapped beast). Which corner? Or, more to the point, can I shoot that corner with the crossbow from outside, or must I move inside?
If we can shoot it from outside, is there a way from the map that we can get multiple fighters to get AoOs assuming it comes out after me?
If we have to go inside, can we arrange the players form a gauntlet the critter would have to run to to attack whomever shot at it?
If it's impossible to shoot at it, can we throw a torch in the corner from outside?
I'm just trying to maximize our group's chance at AoOs so we can minimize our damage since heals are all gone for the day. Would anyone mind if me or the GM moves the group members on the map to accomplish this? I normally wouldn't want to move other people, but it might be faster, since I really don't want to shoot or toss a torch until everyone is in place.
Thanks.
I'll update my sheet when I get off work. It's a bit hard from my phone.

Welcome the new rogue to the party everyone.
welcome! Glad to have you.
Thanks, glad to be here. Also, thanks for not stabbing me haha.
Yah, or throwing a torch in the corner. It was my first thought, but then I said, hmmm, never know, could be a friendly wild critter there. Didn't expect it was the other PC. Haha. DM Giants would have had to rewrite the script a bit had we done that.
Or set the record for shortest lived PC.
Welcome to the band of bumblers.
Could someone move me into the room on the map. Posting from my phone at the moment and I can't seem to move anything.
Please also move me along with the group. I may not be at a computer that can access the map until tomorrow morning.

Done
Nebdel has a bedroll so shouldn't have too many aches and pains. =)
How many hit points of damage does each individual still have?
I want to make sure I make the best use of my very limited casting. I only have at max 3 level one spells and a single d6 channel.
I will scan through the lists again, but I don't think I have any spells available that will be useful against a bat swarm. If it were bigger individual bats? Yes. But not a swarm.
1) Do we heal 1 hp overnight naturally?
@ Nebdel - I will take Calm Animals and Speak with Animals. That means I won't have a heal spell, but it may be effective to just talk the bats into leaving.
i have 7/12 HP at the moment,
Everyone gains 1 Hit point with a nights rest.
Updated HP to 7/10 for Keanan and 12/16 for Balazar.
updated August to 8/12 in profile
Un'gra you also get +1 str back
