Doug M's Way of the Wicked (Inactive)

Game Master Douglas Muir 406

Nothing sexier than a goblin with poo smeared hands and beetles all over him wearing nothing but a chef's hat...

You are now Nudy Witch btw

Admit it Bref you want to be naked too.

Naked goblins scare me.

THERE IS NO DM DOUG M ONLY ZUUL whoops heh sorry.

Normal service will resume within the next 24 hours.

Doug M.

Goblin is the key master!

Bref I wanted to post that as a gGob you would probably not even notice Cуровую shed her clothes.

Alas I could not get into Paizo for several hours yesterday.

Good luck with work DM.

If Bref strips, Jax is applying electrotherapy.

Okay, we've let this lapse for a few days, and that generally makes it difficult to pick up the thread of combat again. So let's fast-forward a little bit. You've solved the riddle. The only thing left is to somehow lure Zargo to the bugs, and there are several ways to do that... but let's resolve this, so we can get traction again.

My thought was to corral the bugs using the boards from the door which Edmin has been breaking. I believe I have already in Post 2662 called for Edmin to bring some of the boards.

bref is about to start launching bugs as close as he can to the door in hoped that the swarm follows.

if the bugs crawl all over bref when he touches them he will go hug zargo

Traveling will be mia for a day or so.

please bot bref as needed. He wants to take the fire gun and some beetles the brain too if possible.

he is out of rage

Anyone know where Jax, Dren or Edmin are? We have seen them in a days. Would love Edmin and Grumblejack to begin whaling on the metal remains of the monster.

Jax is Ko'd so hasn't had anything to post.

Ah - I would consider that a reasonable excuse. Just don't let it happen again.

I think that being unconscious is a good time to post random and unrelated comments - things about goblin hygiene or witch relationships. Stuff like that.

Sorry, had to move to Texas. All is well now, postings shall resume.

So, are you actually living in Texas?

Me -- based in Germany, though I've been moving around a lot
Zimu -- NYC, currently in San Diego

Where is everyone else?

Doug M.

BTW, the creature was a hybrid between a Carrion Golem and an Alchemical Golem. CR was around 7. (A real Alchemical Golem is CR 9. Zargo was slightly overconfident when he said he could build one. They're actually really hard to get right. Some day!) You might have killed it, eventually, but you'd almost certainly have lost a couple of party members in the process.

The brain belonged to the unfortunate bard. It wasn't providing any consciousness -- ever since the B-21 incident, the Cardinal has not allowed him to keep self-conscious brains any more, so Zargo removed those bits. (After the bard was dead? Probably best not to ask.) What remained was more like a central switchboard for basic motor functions.

Zargo was driving the thing from a little distance; imagine him strapped into something like a VR rig in his lab. Unfortunately, he forgot to include an emergency cutoff switch, so he got the whole "being devoured by bugs" experience with no filter. To his credit, he did come up with a way to cut the circuit there at the end.

any chance of using that fire thrower? Either way bref wants to take thr brain and some bugs

nm just read gameplay. Bref just wants something identifiable from the creature

I am around...just busy with the holidays and such...ready to move on.

Christmas Wish

DM

I have it on good authority that you played out an entertaining conversation between 'an old hag, a hill giant and a draconid', at a convention, care to share that with us?

? I haven't been to a convention in years!

Doug M.

Lost in translation.

I meant in a campaign then, please share DM!

:)

BTW, Dren -- when calculating your AC, did you include the -2 from the archon's debuff? I'm not going to do a rerun or anything, but going forward, yeah?

Doug M.

just bc it should be said dmdm this is great!

It's getting close eveybody so

"MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!

TY Cy.

Goblin wants to use Witchy Witches Old flames to start fire

just bc it should be said dmdm this is great!

Well, thanks for the kind words.

Doug M.

Doug M.

No I did not...I will keep it in mind going forward sorry! Is the debuff the same as the Shaken condition? Also was thedebuff removed by magical attacks or just purely physical? He was affected by my confusing power.

Merry Christmas, everyone! May your day be just as evil as you need it to be.

Doug M.

Merry Christmas to all of you as well.

I am with family this week. If my posting is slow, feel free to DMPC me. I will dismiss Morsum and summon a rat or eagle, Bref seems to dislike my puppies, if the party wants to.

Okay, so the Judge is willing to try sending a summoned monster into the darkness. Does anyone have a different idea, or do you want to try that?

Doug M.

We've one this the past rooms, I guess that's our current standard opening move.

Three players is a consensus, so if someone else says yes, that's fine.

(I expect things have slowed down a bit because of the holidays. That's fine.)

Doug M.

hmmm, interesting room here. I assume Jax's burning of arcane knowledge did nothing?

Did we hear what happened to the judge's summoned scout?

If not there may be magical silence in the area as well. Being blind is one thing, not being able to communicate makes things far worse.

Nobody listened carefully until after the rat had disappeared. I may or may not have rolled a Perception check for the party; if I did, nobody heard anything.

We should think up of a battle cry for the group.

So far the one that I can think of is 'Send the Gob or a summoned creature in!'

I'm okay with this idea!

I note in passing that the Cardinal has spent the last several months watching you guys carefully.

Well, lets see, we have Stealth Synergy as a bonus from the Cardinal. I assume he will test us as we use it.

On the other hand I could be completely wrong.

I will be gone for the rest of the evening. I am on vacation this week, so my posting will be infrequent until Tuesday the 1st.

DMDM you are a horrifying fellow. yipes is all i can say

You may recall my earlier rant about darkvision, lamps, torches and such. "Turn off the lights" is such a simple, basic technique -- my nine year old uses it to terrorize his seven year old brother -- that I'm faintly miffed Pathfinder has almost taken it away from us.

'You're in the dark, and something just grabbed your leg'. Basic.

Jax could you ready an action to 'cast Shocking Grasp' if attacked again?

Does that work?

'You're in the dark, and something just grabbed your leg'. Basic.

In some clubs in New York, when something grabbed your leg, when you look at the culprit, you wish it was that dark half the time.

just be glad they only grabbed your leg

Red eye to New York in a few hours then straight to work - sigh.

But I can still post for a little before back to the cold reality, bye San Diego.

:(

Sorry, there is not much that Dren can do atm other than make himself a target...I figured you would want your healer outside of the combat zone.

I'm thinking of just having jax use a crossbow and avoid combat for the next level..he's been nothing but useless so far.
