Euan's Second Darkness (Inactive)

Game Master Euan

Let's hope I can be found afterward...

@Lief:

Hey, I'm thinking of making an investigator for another game and I like the way you are playing yours.

How is it that you apply the 'studied strike' multiple times in a round? I thought that once you apply the 'studied strike', you end your 'studied target'.

Do you 'study target' again during the next round? I think you can do that only by expending an inspiration. Is this right?

Are you doing something else that I haven't seen?

Thanks!

Ah, yes, Dimitrio- you are correct. I've been loose with my inspiration tracking during fights, and this last one found me negligent in the double expenditure of inspiration on bonii towards the attack rolls, and maintaining it in the status bar.

Great question!

Maybe we can get Euan to run Strange Aeons after the TPK. :)

hehehehe.

It's only a TPK if you fight. :D

hehehehe.

It's only a TPK if you fight. :D

That sounds like a challenge. I like challenges.

FYI, I'll be out all day so don't expect any posts from me until later this evening. Please bot me as necessary.

Euan,

I resisted. It could not be. I really didn't want to believe what the others were telling me but they were right.

You ARE evil! :)

Game on!

Just when I finally got used to NOT liberally applying apostrophes to Ederin's speech!

Argh!

I was going to put a rank into linguistics last level (or the level before we were 'changed') to learn Undercommon but then the GM said that the transformation would automatically allow us to speak!

That was evil again, Euan, very evil. :)

Technical difficulties in office, with IT taking over computers for various durations. Apologies for spotty performance today...

So, well, I'm taking a vacation. While I will have my laptop, I am planning to take the week off from this campaign. I can manage to play with limited access/time, but not DM.

Sorry folks.

We'll finish this fight (even if it bleeds over), but will otherwise be off until Monday-ish 9/26. So you're stuck in the danky-blackness a little while longer.

The 26th?

That's a very long vacation.

Enjoy. :)

Have a good vacation! headed anywhere special?

Enjoy your vacation!

Hey all, sorry for the radio silence. My younger brother got mugged this weekend, he's okay but kind of beat up and we ended up driving a few states over go help his wife with the kids and anything else that needed doing. We're headed home sometime tomorrow and I will be resuming posts when I return, sorry about the delay.

Damn. Peace, man. We'll be here when you get back.

Seriously. Ederin take care of family, we'll take care of your bow for a bit longer. :)

Also, I'm in Hawaii. And thoroughly enjoying it. 25th wedding anniversary.

@Ederin: take care of your family; this is just gaming.

@Euan: go and enjoy with your wife!

No one has 'touched' Tiryin yet?

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the understanding. I'm back now and good to go. Post incoming (once I catch up with the reading anyway).

Okay, apologies for the eagerness.

Round 7 - out cold
Round 8 - draw and eat fruit, and we'll take it from there.

BTW, I'll be out in the field all day today so don't expect anything from me until later this evening.

No rush, as we'll be in discussions for a bit, but still...

Level up!
I do believe you should now be level 11.

Sunday, Lamashan 11, 4709
- The party is roused early by Undamesta to attend to a nobles problem…
- They lead Safan, a lizard merchant, into the city proper, with a little difficulty along the way, but nothing the party can’t handle.

Moonday, Lamashan 12-14, 4709
- A few days of routine are broken up by studies in the library trying to fathom the depths of the house Azrinae plan.

Oathday, Lamashan 15, 4709
- Another normal day is interrupted as the party is summoned into… The Tower.
- They have a lovely chat with Alicavniss, until the room turns dark…
- The party manages a few answers before agreeing to do the Daughter’s job.
- Things were going well until Orvignato appeared and attacked Kaylayne…
- They return to Alicavniss who gives the party a wealth of information on the competing house
- Sadly (maybe?) she also sheds their disguises with a wish and a wave of her hand.
- The group bursts out of the tower - rebirthed - and flee the dark city of Zirnakaynin after a few brief battles with the drow.

Fireday, Lamashan 16, 4709
- The party begins the day in blackness and silence as they travel through the tunnels and caverns of the underdark.
- A myriad of smaller encounters leaves the party tired and cranky when the morlocks descend from the heights and ascend from the depths to fight on the blood bridge.
- The fight is over quickly, as the party continues in the dark.
- They eventually reach a small tunnel, lit by some phosphorescent lichen from beyond. A great fight follows, but the party is victorious in the end and the enemies vanquished!
- Is that the gate to the surface? If so, how does it work?
- Eventually the party gets the gate to work, and meets with Villastir.

Will be able to update my pouting grumpus on the morrow. Sorry for the delay.

level 11?

By far my highest level PC in PBPs.

Thanks!

I'll update his stats this weekend.

Game on!

Kaylayne is happy to offer up the belt of constitution +6, she has it on, but doesn't need it.

I'll just leave this here...

Euan: did you make the Elven Queen a 'special' queen? As in she rode the 'short bus' to school kind of special? :)

OMG, my last encounter with an elven queen was the one from the Midnight Setting and she was a proper elven queen!

BTW, I'll be out all day so don't expect anything from me until later this evening. Please bot me as necessary.

I have Dimitrio with the belt of Dex +2. Allarnon should get the Con belt since Kaylayne has that monstrous staff, but that's between you all.

There's a ring of protection +2 in there too. Anyone want it?

I'll do a divvy once these things are sorted out.

I've pinged Ederin without success. Has anyone any contact with him? He's been gone a while in both campaigns I share with him.

I reached out as well. Not sure what is up with Ederin.

I think Alla has another belt, but he's welcome to the con belt.

Also, Kay will take the ring if no one else wants. She doesn't need it, but will take it.

I could also use a ring upgrade. :)

Why don't we lay out all the loot available and then pick and choose?

It is all on the treasure sheet. :)

Yup, Allarnon has a belt of giant strength +2. I will definitely trade for the con belt if and when someone finds something better. It will push me up to nearly 140 hp.

Also Allarnon has a ring of Protection +1 up for grabs that he started with. if anyone wants it. If not then you can sell to make up for Tarkir's rezz.

The only thing that interests me is the ring of protection +2 (or +3 if Allarnon takes the +2 ring).

Dimitrio already had a belt of dex +2.

Everything can be sold as far as Dimitrio is concerned.

Dimitrio, some time ago you took a belt of dex +2 from the group. So no need to take this one, you already have one! Ahh, you ninjaed me.

Allarnon, you bought your Strength belt yourself, so feel free to hang onto it or sell it for half the purchase price. It should not go back to the group funds.

So I think Allarnon is taking the Con belt, Kaylayne is taking the Dex belt.

Is Dimitrio taking the ring +2? That will leave a ring of protection +1 to the party. You want that one Kaylayne?

Assuming that all works, and deducting the scroll expenses, each of you receive 5,973gp to spend as you wish. Consider this the formal divvy post. ;)

Do they have adamantine rapiers?

An adamantine weapon trumps cold iron and silver, correct?

If so, how much for an adamantine rapier +2?

I'm 11th level and still using a measly +1 weapon. It just shows how good I am. :)

5979 gp- Beginning balance.
-3725 gp- Raise animal and Restoration x2
-------------
2254 gp
-1180 gp- +1 Hide Barding for Tarkir
-------------
1074 gp left

@GM Euan- What are your thoughts on magical items and animal companions. I know that PFS only allows barding and neck slot items but other sides basically state that if it makes sense then then animal can wear it. i.e. a dog able to wear a belt or a ring on one of its toes on a paw but obviously a snake could not do the same. Where do you stand on it?

Dimitrio, Adamantine doesn't cover cold iron or silver. A +3 weapon does that though, so you're close. 11,020gp would be the cost for your +2 weapon.

Allarnon, the raise animal and restorations were group purchases, not yours. Keep the gold sir. ;)

As for items on an animal companion I lean toward the PFS rulings generally, but I'm open to the idea of a belt on a bear. Not so sure about rings though.

Allarnon, the raise animal and restorations were group purchases, not yours. Keep the gold sir. ;)

+1 to this. Totally.

However, Kaylayne intends to keep the scrolls on hand in case we need them later (because none of us have Restoration racked, right?) and use her own castings of Restoration on Tarkir tomorrow and next week.

Alla, did you want split costs on the diamond dust to do that? A 1000 gp from each of us?

Kaylayne. Actually it's not that bad.

Tarkir doesn't have two negative levels. Just -2 con. So two Restoration castings, same day, 100gp each, and you're done.

Sounds good!

In that case the only other purchase I will do is an amulet of natural armor +1 for Tarkir for 2000 gp.

Total gold left. 2804 gp

Kaylayne is taking the Dex belt.

That will leave a ring of protection +1 to the party. You want that one Kaylayne?

5,973gp to spend as you wish. Consider this the formal divvy post.
