Alrighty then, assume such has happened on Yvell's side, Moment of Greatness and Expeditious Retreat.
And ofcourse If Aeron doesnt take her turn within your next post, you can delay her or whatever then have her have two turns or whatever.
Its safe to assume Mage armor is used as well.
So i would have life links going with Yvell, Muga and Aeron and have cast shield of faith
Bless might be good as well though Aeron doesnt recieve it.. Phylla could be instructed to led her aid whichever way you all might think of.
It has been well over 24 hours since Aeron made a post...
When The GM updates again he will take tat into account, basically they have until the next update. Either way it will likely not change the outcome of what the enemy does.
It'll be 24 hour from the GM's post around now.
Waiting on Uriah as Im not sure whether he is gunn use the weapon or not. Know Pre-arena fight Yvell would pretty much say to stay relatively together.
I think alot of our confusion comes from having a bunch of assumptions in place and not enough communication.
I try to post explicitly what Uriah is casting and keep track of it somewhere, either on the map or in the post.
I think, to lessen confusion, we should keep a running tab of what buffs we have active and we shouldn't assume that someone else has cast a spell or taken an action that they haven't either directly or indirectly spelled out.
One example of this is Mage Armor. Did Aeron cast it on herself? or did she ask Uriah?
"Hmm... Yvell isn't half bad. I suppose I should start taking this seriously..." Muga shifts his stance slightly, his stance tightening, before lashing out.

Thats not really a confusion.
Assumptions are in place based on perceived norms, if one person is for example absent or not putting forth information/input on something and it is available it make sense they take those actions.. if they would normally do it anyway. In the case of mage armor We can either assume you cast it from the wand.. or eventually Aeron does so with UMD, no matter what eventually the hour long spell goes off, which is more than needed for this combat.. which we would have mild preparation for.
It the same if ANYone is absent, unless they say otherwise they continue to do what they normally would. Yvell would cut some things an heal himself (Or someone Else), Valtyra will either channel heal or cast a spell.. like Hold Person or Spear of Purity (This is new), Muga cuts it with his fiery blade generally not next to anyone and from an advantageous area, possibly one v one if he can, Aeron will cast Mage more and enchant the blade with either a hard bonus, an energy or Both. Uriah is a caster and has no norms right now so for him its either do some damage or hope they fail a save.
Yvell, we looted a +1 Autograpnel with 10 charges from the big arena fight. I've already marked it off for you in the loot log.
Thats fine.
Identified or not, aeron will ask for the suit. She will wear it under her baggy cloths. If there is any arcane spell failure associated with it, she will incur the penelties. She does not tell anyone she is wearing it though.
Also, aerin will ask to have mage armor placed on her just outside the arena. She will also give Val the CLW wand back to help her conserve spells.
its sort of obvious though.
Either way we are buffed somewhat going in.
1/day posting?
btw. sorry for the lapses in posting. I am trying to fit game into life and its been difficult. in the last month half of the staff at work have quit so i have been pulling double shifts and been working 6 to 7 days a week for the last 3 weeks. please be patient with me. :D
Its fine I've had that happen before especially with college students.
I suppose it is appropriate to say that those who have female persons of close relation celebrate this Mother's day with jubilee and excitement.
Also I find it funny That you have a Elven Magus named Yvell.. who is grating.. fun times.
Parent is in the emergency room, so I'd like to be botted until further notice. Slashy slashy. :)
Valtyra hasn't posted since Sunday....
You are correct.
If all else fails The GM can move her into the room and do something.. like cast Hold Person on the orcess.
Te rest of you have been awfully quiet.. save Muga for commentary. Uriah and Valtyra I have seen post in other games though recently sparingly.. Aeron has work so that is expected and truthfully there hasnt been needed Input from her yet.
The other two though I would expected want to say/do something. Either way, keeping the train goin'
There hasn't been much to add, you've been doing all the pushing and keeping things moving.
I'm always checking the thread though...
Your character has no interest in this creature at all?
Not really no...its an outsider, Uriah is more into technology and the depths of psyche.
Muga is vaguely interested, thus he has made vague comments. :P
Oh you~
Neither Valtyra or Aeron has posted in weeks...should we start looking for replacements?
Valtyra to a point really hasnt had much input I believe though Aeron told us of the reason. Either way replacement will be done after this book last I remember. I already have a few people who were set up when Auehda left a while ago so if needed we can NPC them until next recruitment phase.
For Val I see they are posting in other games.. but it tends to be like.. one post.. barely at around 12 noonish.. even then they aren't consistent.
Sorry i havent been posting guys. Life is really crazy for me right now. But i'm getting back to a normal schedule now and should be able to post again more regularly.
Hellion stuck himself in a difficult spot.. crap Yvell is gonna have to provoke but assuming he is indeed Boss Material it should be worth it. Valtyra is gunna be so upset.
Also I made a mistake I thought Yvell had used a Lay on Hands in the Nakalai Orc fight.. but he didnt so I actually have one left.. though it wont change the tactics.
That.. was alot of crits and rolls back and forth.. I almost got lost.
Woot we took down Hellion.. Good job everyone.
Honestly, it was mostly just you...
As far as Hellion; Technically yes, Technically no. I took over for Aeron Because the GM placed it out there.
Likely something similar would have happened.
I wasnt the only one fighting that encounter.
When we fought Draigs and Kulgara it happened before.. its just she SUPER died when Muga initiated the crit-storm instead.
So, at next level which I assume is coming pretty soon Uriah gets one third level spell and due to sweet Human FCB he'll get another 2nd level spell known too. Here was my idea
For the 2nd level spell...I'm torn between
or
What do you guys think?
Edit: New idea. I'll drop Telekinetic Volley (which isn't that good of a spell) and swap it for one of the above and get them both)
Well the next book has us start at... 7th level I think? The GM tends to do like a Month out of game for things like Recruitment and whatnot, setting up for the next book.
As far as Discharge, it seems like a good fit. Use of Telekinesis to overcharge and short out an opponent. OR their weapon.
As for the other two I would go with Investigative Mind.. its more widely applicable and furthermore.. isnt blocked by Lead.. or y'know.. super techno metal.. which is like.. all of this campaign.
I wish you all a Fine Father's day.
As soon as you finish any roleplaying you have for this book, I'll set up a recruitment for about a week. Probably add 2 players to your group. I'll let you decide. You can also invite two people if you know anyone.
Blue Team and Green Team will finish a few weeks from now, and Red Team is still in the midpoint of the book. They had some slow down and player changes.
I know one person who had missed out on the last recruitment wanting to get in this specific group. She has an Archer Inquisitor I believe. As for the other.. I will leave that up to the recruitment.. if that is fine.
Right now we are simply waiting on responses from Zag and the search checks. Can't RP without stimulus. Also did we level?
Level 6 ride the healing train.
This Level Up
Skald 3rd level
+2
+1 Knowledge Arcana
+1 Knowledge Geography
+1 Perception
+1 Perform Oratory
+1 FC into Raging Song
+7 HP, +1 Bab, +1 Ref
Rage Powers (Ex) Celestial Totem, Lesser
At 3rd level and every 3 levels thereafter, a skald learns a rage power that affects the skald and any allies under the influence of his inspired rage. This cannot be a rage power that requires the creature to spend a standard action or rounds of rage to activate it. For example, the skald cannot choose terrifying howl (which requires a standard action to activate), but can choose knockback (which is made in place of a melee attack).
Unless otherwise noted, a skald cannot select an individual rage power more than once.
When starting an inspired rage, the skald chooses which rage powers (if any) to add to the song, and all affected allies gain the benefit of these rage powers, using the skald's level as their effective barbarian level. The skald uses his skald level as his barbarian level for the purpose of selecting rage powers that require a minimum barbarian level. If the rage power's effects depend on the skald's ability modifier (such as lesser spirit totem), affected allies use the skald's ability modifier instead of their own for the purposes of this effect.
If a rage power requires another rage power (such as disruptive, which requires superstition), the skald cannot grant that rage power to allies unless he can also grant that power's prerequisite. He may add multiple rage powers to an inspired rage at the same time using this ability (such as granting superstition and disruptive simultaneously).
If a rage power can only be used a certain number of times per day or per rage (such as renewed vigor), each ally affected by the inspired rage song is subject to that limit (with once per rage abilities limited to once per inspired rage).
If the skald has rage powers from another source, he (but not his allies) can use those rage powers during an inspired rage. He cannot select a duplicate rage power, unless that rage power can be taken multiple times.
If the skald has the ability to rage from another source, he can use his skald rage powers during that rage as well.
Spell Casting
Oth level
- Mending
1st level
- Technomancy
Raging Song (Su) +3 rounds
Song of Marching (Su) At 3rd level, a skald can use raging song to inspire his allies to move faster without suffering from fatigue. By expending 1 round of raging song, the skald invigorates allies within 60 feet, who may hustle for the next hour; this movement counts as a walk (not a hustle) for the purpose of accruing nonlethal damage and fatigue. The skald must continue to perform the song for the remainder of the hour, otherwise its effects end, but only 1 round of raging song is expended for that hour.
I believe Uriah has left the party. Aeron is gone as well. Though, she may return if she feels like it.
That means you have three party members and a psychic plant warpriest. If you three are continuing, one more member is probably fine.
I assumed we'd get at least one more member by virtue of not having 4 members. I know of one so we would need one more. I sorta assumed we'd get the same treatment as other groups, no more than 6 people obviously. Do you have a plan on their incorporation net book? When do you plan on doing a recruitment?
After Muga potentially kills himself would be smart. If you're down to two and a plant, might as well call in a full crew of six so that you end with four, hopefully.
Well doing the recruitment is gunna happen regardless. When we actually CHOOSE that will be determined. The Odds arent in Muga's Favor but hey depends on if he wants to the death/knows his own limits.
Okay, so you'll need 2 to 3 people depending on Muga's fate. Maybe he'll act first in initiative and get some super critical.
I suppose 6 is better because people tend to drop at some point in the story. Either from time or other commitments.
That is the sad truth as you've seen. Even in your super groups of Rd and Green people still leave, disappear, whatever for some reason. As long as the drive is still in the game likely each team should succeed however.
