Expedition to Demonweb pits. (Inactive)

Game Master Aku Warashi

I'm goin' to California. Doing a road tour of the PCH. I don't know how much internet I'll have access to, so my posting may become spotty, to non-existent.

I'll log in when I can.

Please note I'll be away until Sunday night. I'll try to post when possible.

@Ratatosk

He is talking in common.

thanks..sorry I had forgotten.....

About that legacy armor. I'm kind of interested in it, but it seemed to reduce my casting ability. I wasn't clear on how that worked and can't really give up the little spell-casting I do have. I plan on leveling bard up if we level up, rather than alternating between classes.

Anyway, I guess I'm just not sure if the armor something I want, or not.

[edit: Ah, never mind. I just looked at the armor again, it seems simple enough. I see another bow there too. Do we have that yet?

Really bad couple of days at work.
I’ll try to update later, if I can.

I'm away this weekend and will probably be unable to post. Please bot me as needed.

Hey guys. Sorry I might not be posting much in the next few days. I am having emergency eye surgery. Drill try to post as soo as I can
Thanks

Emergency eye surgery? Wow, that sounds serious, Gargamal. I really hope that goes well for you.

Best wishes, Daniel. I hope it goes well, and that it is not as serious as it sounds.

Indeed, my best wishes of health!

Rolling for hitdice: 1d8 ⇒ 1

for a total of 2.

1d8 ⇒ 1

Hit die 1d8 ⇒ 3

I can only conclude from these three hit point rolls that Paizo.com actually wants the drow to win.

Let's see if I can break the low rolls

Hit points: 1d10 ⇒ 3

Nope....we are all doomed

Tell me once you are finished and we'll move the game again.

I'm away for the long weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving) and do not know how often I'll be able to post, if at all. Please bot me as needed.

And Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

I did not know you were also Canadian Karla!! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!!! And don't forget to vote...lol!!

Gargamal added a level of arcane archer...so increased his spellcasting ability, can now shoot fire arrows and that is about all...

Yes, happy CTG day, Karla. I actually have that day off myself, though I doubt it will affect my posting much. I do have a hike planned for Veteran's Day (11/11) so I should do a shake-down hike this weekend, but I'd be really surprised if that actually happens.

Gee, I feel a little like maybe we should have gone after the evil branch. :)

You guys just missed this line in the profecy:

The bitter ice hides a giant's sword to crack the Abyssal armor

Sorry again about the delay. Ending of term in unniversity.

Last two weeks!

Hey.

Last two weeks of classes for this term at university. Posting my get erratic, but I’ll try keep it up.
Sorry in advance.

No problem. Real life comes first, always. Thanks for letting us know.

Please note I'm going away for two weeks with very spotty access to internet. Please bot me as needed.

As you enter the tavern, Rule-of-Three sits in the same corner in Oarsman, drinking what appears to be the same cup from last time.
He smiles and greet you as soon you approach. ” Welcome back, impeccable timing, and blessed day!” As usual, Rule-of-Three seems conflicted about how he really feels, but at least he looks happy to see you back.
”The reason, the excuse, the cause for why called you here at the Oarsman is that I heard things that are of much interest to you. Rumors say that Lolth in planning a most unscrupulous, unbelievable and unprecedented action. The Spider Queen plans to enjoy holidays until January 4, posing not threat, risk or danger to any of the surface with her nefarious plan. It’s certain that after this date, she’ll be fully committed in executing her evil plan.”

Merry Xmas and happy new year!

:-) Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Thanks for the IC heads up! Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Next Friday come around... I didn't pay the rent... Out the door I went.

Er, I mean happy holidays everybody! Got a little confused there. :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! I look forward to firing this up again when the time comes. :)

Hey Boyz.

Hope you had nice holidays!
Any more question you want to ask? Can I move the game?

Shopping and spell prep ideas:

Environment: Life Bubble spell?
Poison: Antitoxins, or more?
Darkness: Just prepping Daylight a few times?
Swarms of spiders: Not my department.
Demons: Bane weapons, I have only one casting of Bless Weapon, but I can prep a few Align Weapon.

Other thoughts?

DM, can a weapon be retrained? For example, can my spellstoring +2 greatsword can be refitted into a evil outsider bane +2 greatsword or a spellstoring eviloutsider bane +1 greatsword?

No additional purchases for Eamch; after buying those two beads, he's close to broke again. :)

@Retrain weapons.

No, nops, Não, ではありません, nicht.

xD

--

Anyway, you may not retrain your weapon, however can try negotiating it.
A diplomacy test DC 25 would allow you to convince a weapon's dealer to 'trade' one weapon for another.

Each 500g in 'incentive', gives you +1 on your test.

Diplo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 I'm adding 1,500 in bonus for the exchange. Karla will speak ill of this merchant for decades on...

For swarms: I'm selling my amulet of natural AC (someone wants to buy it from me?) and get a Swarmbane Clasp.

I will also prepare the spell Repel Vermin.

I suggest Gargamal buys a wand of Burning Hands for 750 gp.

For poison: Everybody should stock up on antitoxin. I will prep some spells, but they won't be enough if we get in real trouble.

Good thinking. I'll add two antitoxin, one antiplague and one vermin repellent for Eamch.

A scroll or two at higher caster levels of burning hands might be more effective than a scroll; it would give a higher DC and deliver more damage in a single round.

Buying a handy haversack, then filling it with oil, holy water, acid flasks, alchemist's fire flasks, and an antitoxin vs. spider venom.

Buying a handy haversack, then filling it with oil, holy water, acid flasks, alchemist's fire flasks, and an antitoxin vs. spider venom.

How many of each are you purchasing?

I'll be far from computers from Friday morning until Monday morning. Please bot me as needed.

@Legacy items.
Who is keeping the Thaas bow?

@Darkelf Hunter
This one was originally intended to Taurven, since he chose a style to keep using either bow or swords, but ultimately you guys can decide between yourselves who gets what.

Oh well.

I was adding some more options to Legacy items file, but good drive went offline on me.

I'll finish it later.

I've added two-ish new legacy items;

One for monks and a fullplate.
The fullplate isn't complete yet, but what's missing is only the description and the picture.

Please check if it pick ur interest.

The chuks are interesting. The enhancement to dex would overlap with the belt he already has, but there are some interesting abilities. I hadn't considered that a monk could use a defending weapon as one attack in a flurry and get the bonus it provides.

If I had a choice, I think I would perfer having Darkelf Hunter than Thaas. It meshes with my character a bit better than Thaas, I think. But will take whatever the group decides.

Not sure about wanting a plate that hinders attack... Especially for non full BABs.

OK, updated my character sheet to show purchases.

7 acid flasks
5 alchemist's fire
1 antitoxin
7 holy water flasks
1 liquid ice flask
5 oil
1 flask Oldlaw whiskey (This would be for drinking.)
10 days trail rations.

Also, I'll be somewhat boring here:

Swift action to look for weaknesses in the creature's defenses.

1d20+10+5. I'm going to assume that beats the creature's CR, so I'll add +2 to my to hit rolls, and the damage should bypass any DR.

Flurry of shurikens
To hit 1d20+12+1-2+2+2+2
Damage 1d2+6+1+4+2

To hit 1d20+12+1-2+2+2+2
Damage 1d2+6+1+4+2

To hit 1d20+7+1-2+2+2+2
Damage 1d2+6+1+4+2

To hit 1d20+7+1-2+2+2+2
Damage 1d2+6+1+4+2

Looks like the last two might be crits, rolls to confirm:
confirm 1d20+7+1-2+2+2+2
Damage 1d2+6+1+4+2

confirm 1d20+7+1-2+2+2+2
Damage 1d2+6+1+4+2

If you look at the post there's no indication of what the character is doing, except by being implied by the dice rolls, he is attacking.

I ask you people that even if it's a single like, try to be a little bit more descriptive in your actions.

As a friend of mine says:
Game on!
