Must see if I can swing that this year. Need to figure out when the boys have their robotics competitions.
This would be hard to do at a real table, hopefully I made it clear enough what happened and resolved it fairly. Let me know if there are any questions or something doesn't make sense.
Good grief, guys - I get slammed with a job interview and then my wife's birthday and I come back to 98 new messages? That's more than all my other games combined!
There's been a lot happening.
So I've now observed!

That's what happens around here...you leave for a day, and get replaced with a doppelganger! GM Blood just can't stand to let a game stagnate!
The doppelganger did ok. For a moment, we thought about recruiting it.
Lesson: never go on leave!
Characters beware, you can be replaced...by a close duplicate :)
Without checking timestamps, "I" have been a doppelganger since the beginning of December! :D
Rowena is going to feel so bad about joining in with a doppelganger to tease Trevor.
Of course, if it turns out that Trevor is a doppelganger, the fact that she was ogling one earlier will probably cause her to gouge out her own eyes.
Yeah, that would be creepy as hell.
Rauno, not applicable here, but if the situation ever comes up in the future (which it probably will) I don't think it would be too meta-gamey, given Rowena's obvious demonstrations of her ki throw ability, for Rauno to decide on an area to effect with a spell like that and hold off, asking Rowena to "toss some guys over there".
However, here, there's no way she can throw anybody anyplace useful without also getting Jirin in the spell (and we're already going to have our work cut our for us getting her to trust us as being her friends).
You had actually edited that before I even read it!
I think those are all excellent plans. This room of course it would be horrible, but interesting!
We had a party once where the wizard would cast it and the fighter and rogue both had freedom of movement rings. Sometimes it worked well....sometimes not so good, but always interesting!
Happy 2 years of Age of Worms to everyone! I started the discussion thread at 2:30 central time 2 years ago.
Two years ago your group had set off individually yet arriving in pairs to Wolf's Ear. 5 out of 6 of you are still here and alive.
One year ago today you were in the middle of the grimlock caverns belonging to the Lamashtu sect of the Ebon Triad cult.
Today you are fighting dopplegangers in an epic struggle, mere rounds away from 8th level! ;)
If we survive...though it's looking better now than it was; those D-doppelgangers are pretty tough.

Awesome! You're doing an amazing job GM Blood!
Yeah, you really are. Its been great to have a consistent group this whole time, but the real credit goes to you for such outstanding GMing.
Thank you, but I couldn't do it without all of you...well I guess I could but it wouldn't be as fun! I wonder what the longest running game is on here....
This game has definitely been a blast. The first one I always check.
Ooh! Level 8. Drool!!!!!
Congratulations to everyone on such a successful game!

To be honest....me too!
I have a free moment at work, and you mentioned level 8 being a few rounds away, so I took the liberty of updating her while I had the chance.

If I changed permissions on the combat map so you could move your own icons around, how would you feel about that? It would require you to log in with a google account after I did that. Sometimes I get scatterbrained and forget to move people, and this way that wouldn't happen anymore.
Let me know your votes!
I'm fine with that. That said, work finally got around to blocking Google Drive on me (but not Paizo? hmm....) so it's not like I can be particularly responsive on the map anyways.
I'm ok too.
That's fine, though a lot of time I post from my phone or from work, which means no moving icons.
Everyone leveled up and ready to get Jirin's familiar?
That's a roger.
"Here kitty kitty!"
Ready...and I move my icon around in another game so I'm good with it.
Yup!
Also good w/being able to move icons.
By the way, I forgot one items of note in the loot found with the last doppelganger fight. The doppelganger impersonating Jirin had a sapphire worth 2,000gp. It glows magical and when picked up it allows you to use detect thoughts on the gem. The gem currently holds Jirin's memories.
I figure we'd better give it back to Jirin.
Well I am almost done with my conversion to Pathfinder for Chapter 11 of Age of Worms. Maybe 30 mins to an hour left. Bad guys are tough to convert at super high levels. They really seem impossible to defeat when running games at this level. But I find they usually tend to be disappointments when I actually run them!
Heads up: I'm on vacation from Feb. 5 to Feb. 18, and will most likely be unable to post at all. Please DMPC me as needed.
Sorry I have been doing a rolling update since I didn't want the posts getting too long and losing them and having to start over!
On the meta-game side if you want to know why he had some extra actions and took quite the beating read below. If you don't care...skip it! However I want to make sure I have the villains play by the rules as you have to, even if I get bend them in my favor with terrain/etc.
Rauno cast haste so he cast slow to counter it.
Next round confusion.
Third round he cast dimension door. (As a point of contention in my home games, my players hate and partially disagree that dim door or teleport would allow someone to appear standing. I like the flavor of that whether or not it is how it is supposed to work, so remember that for your own bag of tricks if it ever comes up). He shape changed into the half-orc (Free action), raged and drew his weapon.
As a rage power he had unexpected strike which allowed him an AoO when Rowena approached. He also had roused anger in case he gets the chance to shape change back into wizard form (which he almost did then i would have fireballed.) Instead I used it to gain another use of enexpected strike (Which failed miserably as I rolled poorly)
