I think this is a chase where we are trying to get away, not catch up. But nice natural 20! One more of those and this is over.

Not a 20 on the second roll but I'm sure a 15 won't hurt anything.

I almost wish Tech Revolution had come out sooner. I imagine Isu would love the reality show "Wraith Whisperers."

It's about a group of priests of Sarenrae who "track down undead and help them pass on, either with direct negotiation or holy fire." He'd probably find it more engaging than just reading TBoLaT!

Ted can throw greater invisiblity or normal invisibility on people, though greater is 4th level and he's only got a few of those, and the command center certainly has some surprise or nullification waiting.

Oh excellent! If this one survives, Wraith Whisperers shall be this one's favorite new binge series!

i counted the up all of our d20s on the current page and we have gotten 10 or above in 5/19 attacks.

I think Isu's personal streak is much much worse than that...

It really has been a long run of abysmal roll results. Makes the battles tougher. Though Arc did get a crit on one.

We ARE doing better against these three ellicoths than we were against the single ellicoth we encountered back on Eox a few books ago. Shows how much more powerful we've become!

I have the remove lesser condition spell but it doesn't remove fatigued. Can anyone removed fatigued?

Not I.

I'm interested in either of the two unclaimed items if no one wants them.

Awwwwwwwwww, thanks Isu! <3

oh crap this is the captain!!!!!

We just fought some monks and they aren't hard, but they do have crowd control. should we mow them down ASAP?

can anyone disable the captains forcefield?

Its far too late to fix builds, but Jelico, is your wisdom really 19? That is the wisdom of a 5th level character. You should be sitting at 20 before any upgrades, and you could definitely have a +4 personal augment at this point, and we did just find a +6 augment. Maybe you should use it after this battle, just in case there is something even beyond the Captain.

This doesn't seem as hard as it could be... don't use all your resources, we are not guaranteed this is the final battle.

Well... Ted has one 4th level spell left so maybe this is a little too late... LOL!!!

The freebooter armor gives +1/+1 for Ted. The two rifles are comparable with what he already has. The white force shield has fast healing! Someone like Isu that sops up damage may really find that useful?

Anyone want to roll for the armor?

I'm going to be on vacation for the next week. I'll be back posting on the 17th (assuming the flights work like they're supposed to). Please bot me as needed. I've got a few castings of Soul Reap that might be helpful. Otherwise, the dice rolls for my pistols are on my character sheet. Thanks!

Any objection to me taking the Buzzblade dueling sword and
Yellow star plasma rifle?

Go for it!

Thanks for the heads up Jelico, I'll bot you as best as I can.

Should one of us use that stat-boosting worm? I don't think any of us ever claimed it.

I think we give it to Jelico--- his wisdom stinks.

Though, I guess it depend on how many DC dependent spells he has left because we probably won't rest again.

guys, I have zero confidence in winning this fight! Isu has been rolling sub 10 for the entirety of this ship!

I'm scared. Hold me.

Retreat? Bring them to us back in the other room? Convert to undeadism? All viable options.

I like the idea of hiding around a corner and making them come to us. Which maybe they wouldn't do.

Converting to undeadism is a practical solution, but Arc won't like it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

there are 8 of them and Isu goes first.

He yells... "Run away! Run away!"
-----------------------------------
But actually, I will not run away, because our strategy of ducking around the corner probably won't work since all of your inits were pretty low

I tied most of the enemies on Initiative. Any chance I'd go before them on a tie?

Yep, I already gave you the win on that tie.

Oh, for some reason I assumed the commander was the higher of the two. I guess it was the foot soldiers. Thanks.

lets take these minions down asap so we can run in against the real threat

110 damage (+15 for my forcefield so 125), and still round 1. At this rate, I am knocked out before I go three times.

I'm back! Catching up now but it's a slow process. @Isu, do you need HP healing? I can't do anything for SP but, if you into your hit points, I can help with that.

I am not into HP yet. Just a smidge of stamina left.

I feel like if we keep holding the line to try and funnel them, that big guy is just gonna keep taking potshots at us...

I will push forward. So far I basically turned on my forcefield, and then got paralyzed and haven't done a thing.

Just a heads up that I'm going to be a little spotty posting heading in to the Thanksgiving weekend. I hope to be posting, but holidays are always a distraction.

If a botting need arises :fingers-crossed: Ted's plan is to save his 3rd level spell slots for countering the caster's shenanigans, fire his boosted rifle for fun, and help with lesser invisibility and Flash Teleport to rescue party members as the party is shredded. Maybe some spell powered grenades when the opportunity arises.

FYI, I'll be traveling for Thanksgiving and likely unable to post (or not post much) from now until Monday.

Have a great holiday, all! Feel free to bot me.

Gotcha Spec. We might be rolling slowly through Thanksgiving in general, but I'll bot you as needed for the long weekend.

YIKES!

(I play most of my PBP games in discord now, which has the huge advantage of being able to more easily react to dramatic moments, like the gatecrasher missing me deserves an open mouth or a scream)

One thing one of my other games does is have a discord server for questions and game chatter. Gameplay posts still are on the forums. Its great getting those immediate reactions!

Why not just play the whole game on discord?

I have about 7 games on it. :D

I've always found Discord kind of "ephemeral" when it comes to games like this. It's also harder to look stuff up that happened way back near the beginning of the campaign. And every PbP I've tried in Discord has kind of fallen flat on its face shortly after starting.

Happy Thanksgiving, by the way!

I've played a couple games on discord - I think it lacks several features that the forums just do better. Its good for chatting, but I don't like it for actually playing games.

Happy Thanksgiving for those celebrating!

Funny, my experience is the exact opposite. It actually has a search function instead of being broken down into multiple pages that you have to hunt-and-pick. It has various markup language used for ooc, bold, italics, etc, and plenty of ways to dice to rolls. To each their own, but it is also clearly my mission to win people over to discord as I do have trouble recruiting people to my discord games.

And what the hell is going on with my saving throw rolls? I am getting a major screw job here.

I could use some healing now. I just lost about 50 HP.

Ya, well, Ted has taken damage this combat too, so you know this is a hard battle... :|

@Isu, I'm still standing right behind you. I'll heal you on my turn

I can't remember if standing up from prone provokes in this edition.

It says AoOs happen when someone moves in a threatened square, and technically standing up is a move action.

I'm not going to provoke because that could knock me out, so I might take the turn to attack while prone, if someone could confirm that standing up provokes.

Standing up doesn't provoke, so you don't have to worry there.
