Not within the area of effect
Val is correct- it relies on whispers so it won't work in silence. telepathic bond would work but you don't have it.
Val is just after me, so my round stands, minus the request about silence
@Val- I'm really enjoying how actively you use your mythic points but could you please add them to your status bar (the statistics that show up at the top of every post) so I have an idea of how many you have left?
I did so also, and added in ki pool as well.
thanks!
I will, they are in the "Expended Resources" part of the Profile, almost at the top. Currently 5 of 7 expended.
I would like to stay in turn based play since I have 3 rounds left on greater invis. I think checking some of these rooms is more important than searching for loot at the moment.
I'm not trying to be loot hungry. I just don't want whoever is helping these giants to sweep through and grab the items, forcing us to face them again
You can do what you like. I just want to take advantage of my invisibility while it lasts and check a room or two
sorry for the short, flavorless posts lately. did 5 12 hour shifts in the last 5 days. winter cant last forever
sorry for not posting today- dealing with a puking child. Should be back tomorrow.
@graverattler- is that a legal choice for wildshape? Might be thinking of another edition but I thought Druids were limited natural occurring creatures or some such, not sure something with extraplanar subtype qualifies?
I don't see anything in wild shape that disallows sub-types.
Nor in the plant shape spell description.
First child seems much better... Now wife and other child are sick, smh. I'll post as soon as I can... Sorry.
@Graverattler (and Jim)- thanks for double checking that.
No problem. I'll take over GMing for a while if you like.
Things quiet down after the glass factory fight. Ameiko is found in her basement (having fallen down the stairs and been knocked out for a day or two). Her father admits to colluding with the giants, but promises not to do it again, and everyone seems cool with that.
Justinius takes this quiet time to write childrens books and and dabbles in making scones part-time. Within a few months, his bakery takes off and he hangs up the swords for good (having gained 60lbs).
Jim gains more noteriety as a 'privateer' and gains a following that, at first, makes him wealthy, but then the blaggarts form a union and eventually force Jim out of the operation all-together. He can still be heard at the docks, singing chanties about the good old days.
Graverattler continues her Quest for her people, but gets distracted by some circus folk and drawn into 'the lifestyle'. She was last seen wrestling a giant ape under a big top tent, to the delight of thousands.
Oliver vows to go into stealth until someone finds him.......... several scones go missing from the bakery, but no one ever sees the young archer again.
Valanthe continues to defend the Varisian people against all threats, but they are few and far between. She spends most of her days trying to get Justinius to take off his apron and go for a brisk walk. She often wonders where things went wrong.......the life that might have been.....
I thought justinius was waiting for Rimy Jim to cut open the door he was at and then casting daylight into whatever room he opened up.
Justinius said he followed you, so the door his daylight will shine through once it's cut off its hinges is not at all the same door Jim (who turned to follow you but then changed his mind) just cut off its hinges...
My Bad
I kind of assumed that the humanoid top half of Graverattler's fungus queen form would bear an obvious resemblance to her normal top half.
That's a decent point. But Oliver's pretty on edge anyway. And for he knows that thing ate graverattler first.
its been 2 days since I posted, but I cut loose a door and made a perception check and I still dont have the results, so I dont know what to post.
Sorry- it's been kind of crazy taking care of a sick family, and now I'm sick. I'll get something up tonight.
Take care
Looks like I'm sower than the giant and I'm having computer issues, so I'll wait until after he goes. Hopefully I'll have everything back to normal tomorrow.
Waiting for the report on Justinius's possible sneak attack damage from Val before deciding whether to watch the basement or haul a$$ back to the party.
And by Val I mean nate, who hopefully isn't still sick.
I'm feeling much better, thanks. Unfortunately I'm having a little trouble using my phone right now (which means less checking in on the thread and making quick little updates- I'll still get up at least 1 real post a day though). Hopefully that will be fixed tomorrow too.
sigh. in a round where I burned 2 mythic points, I dealt 13 dmg and took 77. I might be terrible at tanking.
well, you still did more damage than Oliver...
I'm not sure about the magus stuff, Oliver, but your shocking grasp is probably going to deal 60 + 10d6/2 damage.
Graverattler's had 48 hours to post an action... I'm going to bed right now but if there's still nothing from her the first time I get on tomorrow I'll not her for this round so we can move on. (I'll also PM her to make sure everything's ok)
Apologies for not posting today- there was a surprise party at my house today (in my honor) and people are still here 12 hours later. I'll post something tomorrow afternoon.
It was a good day. Glad I was there.
Congratulations
still no word from Graverattler?
sorry to hear about your computer (mabye you should be 'more careful guy'). glad you didnt drop off the earth.
Oliver, unless ther's a magus-specific rule that says otherwise, there shouldn't be a need to cast shocking grasp again, as you can hold the charge until you make a successful touch attack or cast another spell. Per the magic rules, under duration:
Touch Spells and Holding the Charge
In most cases, if you don't discharge a touch spell on the round you cast it, you can hold the charge (postpone the discharge of the spell) indefinitely. You can make touch attacks round after round until the spell is discharged. If you cast another spell, the touch spell dissipates.
Jim, I don't understand your post... He did hit last round... Unless you're just advising him for next round? Either way, if he confirms the crit Justinius just gave him it'll probably be a moot point...
As I read it:
Surprise round: everyone acted except Jim & the giant;
Round 1: everyone acted except Graverattler, whom was skipped, Oliver's bowshot is deflected;
Round 2: everyone acted, though Graverattler botted out of order before giant's action, Oliver hits with touch attack;
Round 3: Val has gone, Oliver touch attacks and misses with natural 1 on the die, Justinius acts in a post mislabeled "Round4" then grants Oliver a natural 20 after my above post re: holding charge.
Graverattler was the only one who didn't beat the giant's initiative... So she wasn't skipped in round 1, her round 1 action was botted and posted when I posted the giant's round 2 action. She has not yet taken her round 2 action despite everyone else being in round 3 already. I've been trying to give her time to post, but I guess at this point she's functionally reset her initiative (so we'll say round 1: reset initiative to right before giant; round 2: move and vital strike; round 3: in post with giant if it's alive still and she still needs to be botted)
Justinius is acting in round 3 (as you pointed out), to make Oliver's round 3 attack roll count as a 20 (he's changing the attack roll, not granting a new one).
Yep. Mine should have read "round 3". Sorry
Jim still makes a good point tho. I said that I would cast a quicken shocking grasp after missing which would be unnecessary since I never expelled the shocking grasp. But since Justinius is awesome, I'll go ahead and attempts to confirm
ooooooh, now i get it! Jim was talking about your OOC comment about using arcane surge... I think (were it not for Justinius' gift) you would have had to recast it because how else would you get a free attack to deliver it with? you get a free attack when you cast it but not to deliver a held charge...
I apologize for taking so long on this (I kind of forgot until Justinius reminded me) but, for posting on Valentine's Day...
Valanthe, Justinius, Graverattler, and Rimy Jim have earned-
Thanks
