Yeah, other than the boon, we're already ahead. We're halfway into our second game. It would only matter if you wanted to use this specific character in an upcoming gameday game.

Failure says lose the move action and provoke. So I read that as I would be stuck right where I was before. No half-speed move at all. I suppose you're right that I'm taking a sure AOO over the chance of provoking, however large. But I'm also sure of gaining the move. Which I didn't do much with this round. So yes, this round, I should have made the attempt, or simply raced up the stairs.
So totally confused by this.
My understanding is that if you fail the AoO, you provoke an attack, you don't lose the movement. You only lose the movement when you move through an enemy's square, not past an enemy.
FYI, Borax is bleeding out on the floor.

Interesting. I just re-read the Acrobatics skill. It does indeed say if you attempt to move through an enemy square. I read it as through a threatened square. Perhaps I'm wrong. But then what is the penalty for failing to move through a threatened square? The entry doesnt actually say. I suppose its obvious that you draw the AOO but anything else?

And Angruf, melee is much appreciated. It keeps him from casting and forces him to do somthing other than skewer me!

Just a head's up to everyone. I am very likely going to be deploying after the 11th. If this game is not finished by then, I will probably not be able to post at all for a good 3+ days min., but I will make every effort to get back here and be able to finish this up as soon as I can after that point. I will also no longer have cell phone access for quick updates. I'll be finding out tomorrow more info, and I will let everyone know. Again, just a head's up, and all this means is there might be a little bit of a break where I simply can not post at all. But will be able to pick things up once again one I get where I am going, if we are not done by then. This game could really go either way, and I would really love to finish it prior.
I do plan on running more games in the 2nd PbP Game Day Event sometime in Jan, but am not sure what yet. If anyone is interested, it will probably be a bit slower in pacing, but you are all welcome.

The lantern shot out beams of silvery light, striking Kargen I think 3 times, (that doesn't matter).

![]() |

Nope. I'm way more badass. ;)
A feeble old blind man walks (very slowly) up to Kargen, Pardon, sonny. Over yonder is a big barn. Your young eyes should be able ta see it. I challenge ya to an archery contest. . .

Rule #1: Someone is always more badass than you.
That's an urban myth. Clearly there is no one more bad ass than Borax.

So I finally broke down and created a little game space area, both for the people I have played with and for to come hang out a little outside of their current game, chat, and also (hopefully) a place that people can go to in order to post games or request to get into them. Or just introduce your characters, ask build advice, or whatever.
Feel free to jump in, and I'm thinking I might use it in the future to announce new games I plan to run. If you have any plans to run a PbP (or non-PbP) and might like an extra player or more, feel free to post there letting others know.

Are we waiting on Borax or someone else?
Yanbrell, Moll, and you are all up. I didnt really see actions from them. Im not really sure whats going on, it seems both of the games that did not make the Gameday cut off have just slowed to a crawl. Im not sure if that last fight burned people out or what I can do to get people more interested?

I don't think a healing potion would work unless you could make them drink it. Maybe paint the vial red and tell the ghoul it's blood?

![]() |

Yah, unfortunately, healing potions can not really be used as weapons. A wand <of CLWs> could but requires a touch. Something I have seen done, and not really sure if it's RAW or not is to allow weapons to be used at a -4 (improvised) to do a different type of damage. Like using a sword that normally does piercing to do slashing with a -4 to attacks. I'll allow that if that's the concern (within reason).

Anyone got a 'grease'? One of the charming properties of mindless undead is that they're... mindless. keeping them bottled on the stairs and destroying them in detail wouldn't be a bad (if slow) strategy.

![]() |

We had a similar discussion in a home game recently, Beckett. The rule as I remember it was allowing any weapon to be improvised to do bludgeoning damage (piercing and slashing require a sharp point or edge, but most every weapon has a flat, pommel, or haft you could whack someone with), but we couldn't find it on the books either.

![]() |

I would buy that. Everything can be used to bludgeon, but no matter how you hold it, you can't use a club to do slashing damage.
(Ok, maybe you could break it and use the sharp point to slash.)

I've never seen any rules for changing damage types. Certainly would have to come under the GM discretion umbrella.

No, they mentioned they had Delayed earlier, and I assumed that the dropping the Short Sword and attacking with the Guisarme was that Delayed Action, and the AoO was separate (and before hand).
I was just saying that Moll had time before hand to switch weapons if they wanted to switch that up.

Can I get everyone's reporting info, as the time is coming up.
1.) Player name/nickname
2.) PFS Number
3.) Day Job roll
4.) Anything that needs noted, purchases, etc.

![]() |

My player name is Arrowhawk on Mythweavers. Everything else should be in my info line.
As this is a 1st level character still, I won't be recording any purchases until I turn 2nd.

No, but by every 5 you beat the DC by, you improve their feelings toward you by 1 step. Angruf alone made her go from Unfriendly -> Indifferent all the way to friendly, and 3 points away from Helpful, which is the best you can get. I'll explain in more detail once this is actually over, so as to not spoil anything, but it was just cool, and it does help a little.

And I actually still have everyone's info, except if there are Day Job Rolls or changes since last time.

It's interesting that this applies. While I've known it to be true, I've yet to see it matter in a PFS scenario. Usually the scenario gives a DC to beat and if you beat it, you get a specific response. Refreshing to see the result actually matters beyond the DC. More kudos if you are using GM Discretion(tm) in this matter..

![]() |

It's a little of both. That is to say that it does matter how much of an ally you can make her, but there is also something else, (dealing with the Evil Aura) that I'm going a little outside of the Scenario, but mostly because they didn't have rules for it at the time.

CHRONICLE sheets.
Let me know if you have any issues. I've reported the game as well.
I am also considering what to run next. I went ahead and created a little sort of hangout area, and hopefully a way for people to post games and request players. HERE if you want to check it out and talk abut a new game.

Good game, everyone! Interesting ending there. I think it might have played out a bit better face-to-face, but c'est la vie of PBP.
Kargen hits level 3 and buys himself a backup slashing weapon!

Well, I have to admit that I was little lost about the ending. Not sure I understand why the woman's was evil.
