When pressing into the room makes a dc 15 check vs sicken. The effect lasts minutes so if you fail I/u ccan can roll the duration. If you want.
Unless you have a reason why your race is unaffected then everyone will but effected when they enter this room.
Sickness however does lent effect rng damage that isn't strength based like crossbow. Comp bows will be effected only if they are +2 or lower Nd won't incur a penalty if the star bonus is reduced to +0. Aka your arrow and bolt damages are not effected since they are not impacted by strength.

Hey, DM, can we expect any help from our NPC buddies? This fight just got craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy! :-)

Jaeger
Move Through Threatened Squares
[Table]
In addition, you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics. When moving in this way, you move at half speed. You can move at full speed by increasing the DC of the check by 10. You cannot use Acrobatics to move past foes if your speed is reduced due to carrying a medium or heavy load or wearing medium or heavy armor. If an ability allows you to move at full speed under such conditions, you can use Acrobatics to move past foes. You can use Acrobatics in this way while prone, but doing so requires a full-round action to move 5 feet, and the DC is increased by 5. If you attempt to move through an enemy’s space and fail the check, you lose the move action and provoke an attack of opportunity.
You started on the far side of the room, which would require at least a full move action to get up to the thin dwarf from where he is standing.
So Skeleton CMD = 14 (Full Move Action DC) +10 = DC 24 to successfully acrobat your way through. +5 if moving through an enemies Square so 24-29 depending on how you moved through them.
Unless I missed something please let me know.
Your action however was commendable, just the stacking up of the DC's went against you. However Seren killed the skeleton that stabbed you. :)

Kieran Crane |

O snap! Now we know...

Jaeger di Angelo |

No you didn't miss anything for some reaso I read it as cmb not cmd...damn. I also don't want to point out I'm at 0 hp....cave crawler got me as we came in and now stupid skeleton which is way more intelligent that I gave it credit.
I love I can't faint a skeleton because it is mindless and yet it can still performe attacks of opportunity.

DM Corerue |

Yeah the dc can get hellish when you start factoring the above. :(
I have learned this harsh lesson as well with my cavalier in another game.
Charged into the center of a group of bandits and nearly got completely wiped out. However I survived and great cleaved most of their butts into the great beyond so a little tit for tat in a sense lol. But ya the DC I faced there was... 46 with a lvl 8 cavalier. There was no chance lol.

Jaeger di Angelo |

So I'd greatly appreciate it if you all would kill those skeletons and dwarf which are now crowded around my currently unconscious self... oh and I guess save the elf too while your at it.

Kieran Crane |

O snap! That's 2 of our guys at 0 hp... ELARYA, HELP!!!

Kieran Crane |

A well placed channel would be pretty kickass. Of course, I can see you both getting healed then knocked back out the following round, lol!

Kieran Crane |

Lol! Huh, I wonder who Elarya is??? Sorry about that. Ethyra, please save our asses!

Kieran Crane |

Best not to consider that we're probably, like, four pages into the AP

Kieran Crane |

So much for making this one easier to run than Skyfall, haha!

Cedeleon "Cid" Reave |

For sure. DnD tends to naturally be unpredictable. Sometimes you just have to literally roll with the game. I'm also sure that the developers intend the AP to be diverged from every now and again.
And what the hell!? Unconscious!? I'm gone for a week and this is what happens! ::grumble grumble::
Cid will get his strength back, and when he does, he will unleash the fury of the drow. Probably by running and hiding and striking from a distance.

Oh okay. So if decide not to take the campaign trait, can we still take a Mythic Path? I didn't know the campaign traits counted as normal traits. If I can opt out of the campaign trait and still take the Trickster Mythic Path, then I will do that. Because with that third feat, my drow spell-likes are all at will, including levitate and feather fall. Not to mention detect magic becomes constant. ::melts::
Actually, that's not true until you finish the feat chain. Drow nobility, improved drow nobility, greater drow nobility. You need the greater drow nobility feat, for them all to be at wills.

DM Corerue |

Apologies for the slow down on skyfall. The family is sick. And my oldest woke up with a blazing hot fever this morning. Been burning the candle at both ends trying to keep up this week. Will try and keep WotR going full steam ahead. I have built 3 adventures thus far to add to the overall ap.
Hopeful this last encounter was semi enjoyable. Paralysis is a nasty one in pbp, same with other debilitating stun stuff. Couldn't be avoided though sorry. :-(

Kieran Crane |

I read Lomar's assault and the NPC actions in the same sitting and was just... Overjoyed! I don't mind the wait cuz the quality is wonderful! Same for Skyfall. Keep up the good work everyone :-)
Good luck with the family, Cori.

DM Corerue |

Well today was bad. Not going into details but never neglect your health...
Sigh.
So summarizing actions.
Ethyra took two rounds two double channel. Everyone regained 14 hp total and she expended 3 uses.
Cid is conscious.
Kieran comes to six rounds later by then Omar, Seren and Jaeger have took off in pursuit of the Thin Dwarf.
Leaving the three npcs, Kieran, Cid, Ethyra and Lasciel alone with the chained prisoner.
Correct?

Kieran Crane |

Kieran went off with the others but I can rework my IC stuff so he stays back if waiting for the spell to wear off is/was an issue. Let me know what you need and I'll work around it.

Kieran Crane |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

We shouldn't have to worry about Cid's school responsibilities anymore. Last time I talked to him he said he dropped out so he could sell beads at concerts out of the back of his van. Sounded like he was doing pretty well for himself. He can post when he gets wifi or goes to the library to "freshen up".

Kieran Crane |

Thought it'd be nice to have these in one place. We can sort through all this stuff at our next campfire/rest.
LOOT DROPS
Silver Scales
**Better link for the scales
Crusader's Pack
Campsite
Church Dwarf
Church Loot
Kieran has the scales. I apologize for not handing them out already. My character, at this point, wants NOTHING to do with them so it should be an easy enough thing to distribute.

Kieran Crane |

Haha! Nah, it's not true. Well... not yet.

Kieran Crane |

I think we have a couple healing potions floating around the group. We should try to get one of those to Seren pretty quick. I'd be happy to say that Cid is carrying one since he's probably on his way over.
Also, Jaeger, since you can't damage the skeletons, you can still try to cancel out their ability to attack. Disarm/Sunder would provoke an AoO, sure, but they've got two hands on a crossbow so they'd take a massive penalty even if they try to use them for melee. There's always options for keeping the team functioning.

Kieran Crane |

Discriptions are awesome, boss. Keep it gruesome!

DM Corerue |

Seriously addicted to One Piece and Bleach. Mainly one Piece right now as it is new. Fairytail is rising in my (Must watch!) List as well. lol.
Anime... So good!
Note: Do not Watch One Piece randomly go to Kissanime or somewhere similar and start at the beginning! Or it will not make sense lol. I used to think it was incredibly dumb and then I decided on a whim to watch from the beginning. Now it is epic. :)
There are some pretty emotional scene. At least for me, maybe I'm crazy but it is a cool show.
I am also impatient as my game threads have been more active then all my normal character threads combined. So thanks guys for posting regularly! :)
