Oh man, it is GREAT playing a combat-capable character for once :D I'M USEFUL!
And don't worry, Alice... once the Aurica/Voren conflict starts to resolve, a new one will surface!
Just to let you know, I have a work shift from this morning to mid afternoon. So no posting in that time.
I'm actually laughing so hard right now. For fun, try to imagine what's going through Jens' mind after all this horrible luck...
Just did some quick number crunching (or, rather, putting numbers into Excel for it to crunch).
Aurica: mean 11.51, median 10
Jens: mean 11.9, median 13
Flynn: mean 11.6, median 11
Osric: mean 6.6, median 5
Voren: mean 10.26, median 11,
Reknar: mean 9.26, median 11
Me: mean 12.13, median 12.5
Aurica has also rolled 5 natural 20s. And I've rolled 8. Only Flynn has rolled a 20 otherwise. :P
So, yes, Osric, the dice roller actually statistically speaking hates you right now.
*wince of sympathy*
Also, those 20s came during my hot streak of last week.
I'm just glad I did not make Reknar a boasting kinda guy...
Jens is literally the only character of mine who wouldn't give everyone else s@%% for not being able to hit things. The one time I have better luck than everyone else, and it's with the character who doesn't really give a damn!

It's all good guys. Last night at my LGS, my PFS ranger (also named Osric) confirmed no less than 3 longbow crits in ONE GAME! I think I rubbed every number from 8-13 off the d20...
Good job! :D Feels good, eh?
Clearly, Osric-the-Ranger is sapping the luck from Osric-the-Inquisitor. :P
Oh, boy. This is turning into a nail-biter.
Wait! I just noticed! Both Aurica and Flynn get a flanking bonus!
I included the flank in my attack. :)
Pretty sure this CR 1/3 skeleton has done more damage to you guys than the huecuva. Fear it...

Rub it in some more, why don't you....
>:D
Not sure how much damage he put out, but... he gashed Aurica bad, took Flynn down, and I was going next so... If I ever level up, I will take a level in creepy skeleton that owns adventurers :D
By the way, I don't think anyone is taking care of the loot, is there? I can do it if needed. Let me know.
I have a spreadsheet set up for my tabletop group of this, if you want to steal it.
I want to steal it - gimme! :D
edit: feel free to edit/use that link, it's a copy of the one my group uses sooo...
So I can use this particular google doc for our game here?
Precisely!
Cool! Loot List is now updated - you guys can find a link next to my stats.
I've put Reknar carrying most of it cause he has the STR for it, but they are just placeholders - let me know if anyone wants to carry anything in particular, and I'll swap stuff around.
Taking 20 on Heal checks on Osric, Jens, and Reknar (if I can) to heal their wounds. Also, Reknar, in your spreadsheet, it doesn't mention the bat mushroom totem thing. Also where did we get a Golem manual and Lesser Wings of Flying? Were those in the backpack we found? Also, if we do have Lesser Wings of Flying, then can Voren have them? He does have a +6 on Fly checks?
Sigh. Obviously, I forgot to delete them from another sheet. They're from the Shattered Star campaign I play in (where I originally cribbed the spreadsheet from). Anyway, gone now.
The Bat/mushroom brooch was already there Voren ;)
Thanks, Reknar. Didn't notice the tabs at the bottom until now.
Voren, please read the Heal skill.
Couple of things to note:-
"Treat deadly wounds" requires 1 hour of work and 2 uses from a healer's kit (or suffer penalties without). Taking 20 would thus imply to me that you take 20 hours to do it, not to mention the healer's kit usage.
"Long term care" requires 8 hours of work. So I'm gonna say that no, you can't take 20 on this one either. Also note that it requires the healer to perform "light activity" for 8 hours, so that means no resting (and thus no spell recovery) for you, unless you then rest afterwards.
You can take 10 though.
Mehh, sorry guys. Just don't have it in me to respond tonight. Had my karate grading this evening and it wore me out. :P I will do my best to update in the morning!
Take your time. If you could wait until, say, 5 pm so I'm home, that would be great. :P
Just so you guys know, I'll be working from the morning to around mid afternoon tomorrow.
Surgery update: teeth all out. Apparently I did a crocodile roll as I was waking up and yanked the needle out of my arm, so I have a nice bruise there. Mouth full of stitches, everything's bloody and very sore. Really groggy, but they gave me good drugs.
My mother's been looking after me, and my boyfriend's been great. He bought me chocolate custard so I can eat, and he's fetching me drinks and tissues. Currently snuggled down on the couch watching Black Adder.
Can't really get into character right now, so Jens will just follow Aurica's lead. Straight melee, hasn't used Tactician yet, so he'll do that if needed.
Ouch, teefs! Feel better, recover quickly. *send good vibes*
Hang in there Jens, and get better soon.
Are you sure you want to watch Black Adder? I mean, I always laugh as a maniac when I do - is that safe? :D
End of day two, no longer bleeding. Cheeks are swollen and very sore, been keeping ice on them whenever I can. Regarding Black Adder, well... It was the first season, and I find they got funnier as they progressed. ;-) I'll be watching the second season tomorrow, so I can look forward to that. And food that isn't liquid!
In the meantime... What we doing about these rats? :p
Glad to hear you're doing better, Jens. As for the rats, the plan seems to be tossing a lit torch at them so they scatter, run past them, and have the team support us.
Although...
Good to see you're back on your feet. I recommend some Black Books in with that Black Adder to aid the healing process. ;)
... Are you sure you're not spying on me, Alice? You seem to have extraordinary insight into my DVD lineup...
Happy belated Easter. For some reason, the messagboards didn't want to post my Easter messages.
Do you think I should create a soundtrack/playlist for our game?
If you're feeling particularly bored/inspired? :P
I think that may be a cool idea - I always have my headphones on, and actually have kind of an idea for Reknar's theme song ;)
Go for it, I say! I'd like to see what other people think would be Jens' theme song :p
here's a question that I've never encountered before...
Can you use combat expertise and fight defensively for a net -5 to hit +3 to AC? Combat Expertise isn't an action, and grants a dodge bonus. While fighting defensively is part of a standard action attack with an un-named bonus to AC.
Yes, yes you can. In fact, that was a big part of a lot of Crane Style builds (...before Crane Style got nerfed).
cool.
Bleh, sorry for being slow lately! Stressing over uni stuff. Will get a post up in the morning, promise.
It's all right. I'm going through finals as well.
Good luck with those!
Finals aren't for another month or so for me, but I was struggling with a tough assignment that I've now more or less got a handle on. Now just gotta study for two midterms... *groan*
I am so glad I finished my BVA... that damn near killed me. I know what heavy study's like. Best wishes to both of you!
Hey guys, I will update tomorrow afternoon. Cramming for a midterm tomorrow morning at the moment and don't have time just now. Sorry for the delays lately!
"Forces of the Abyss! Weaken thy foe! Bring woe into its short existence!"
Sooooo... I don't like to order you around how you play your character, but I'll just throw this out there. Are you actually meaning to invoke demonic forces to curse your enemy here?
Because I promise you that this will not go down well with basically anyone who knows Abyssal (a common language to know around these parts, for obvious reasons). I mean, feel free to do so, just want to make it clear that there will almost certainly be IC consequences for invoking demonic powers in the demon tongue...

Side note: I noticed some people (Flynn, Osric) don't have their bonus languages from your Int score!
