GM Burglar's 00-23: Tide of Morning (Inactive)

Game Master mechaedd

Don't let that light get too close to the orb, just close enough to where we can see where it is and grab it.

Is this the round from the weekend now over? Or a new one?

Your ready will come around with no effect, so basically, yeah.

I made this diagram, though I now just read that daylight is 60 feet, not 20. Other than that, the diagram still still stands, though.

The dome is roughly a 3-inch barrier, clearly designed to block the sunlight from entering. Outside the dome where Opal does not affect, everything is dim light caused by the rising sun. Anyone who can see through Deeper Darkness can see through the dome.

Inside is mundane darkness, turning into dim light as the sun comes up. Opal's Daylight pieces through the barrier, which allows sunlight through whatever side she's on (which is notably bad for the Lorestone and any light-sensitive plants inside.) and also affects the mundane darkness inside as normal for Daylight. Note that Daylight =/= the sun's rays, and thus will not destroy a lorestone.

Some one grab that rock! I'll run cover!

I'll sync my initiative to run along anyone that says they are moving for the stone so I can launch an AoO or a delayed attack against any surprises.

Baz casts a spell and moves toward the stone.

Cast Bless and move 30' toward the stone.

Kyoshiro moves with Baz, moving next to him with his attack held to sweep at anything within his attack radius with his Cold Iron reach weapon.

The bigger question is, then, where is the stone? The only terms set for location from your gathered texts were "inside the druidic circle." Unless I mussed up a post in your favor, in which case, link it so you can win easier.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say on/next to that stone in the middle but if its not, we'll be surprised and a little screwed

Baz heads to the center of the circle on the assumption that is where you'd put a stone your about to destroy through a ritual.

Seems like a logical choice, being that it's the tallest stone. Given the similarity of art style with the other stones, let's keep it at the same height of 10 feet tall. It has ramp-like sides with druidic carvings into it, so I'd say it's a dc 15 climb.

Harboth nocks an arrow and covers Baz and Kyo. He will fire at anyone who attempts to stop them.

I moved Baz on the map. With 20' speed, that only takes him to the edge of the "dome" next to Opal.

You had your move from before, also, if you recall. I haven't touched the map for a while now.

That's right. I forgot the bridge was only one action. Map updated with Baz 20' further in.[/ooc]

Opal will move around the circle untill she is on the oposite side from the rising sun, hoping to minimize any chance of damage from the sun.

Round 1:

Magic Missile can go off on that, and I thought 5 foot moves did not require acrobatics?
Magic Missile 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Acrobatics 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 (If needed)

We only need an Acrobatics check if we move at more than half speed, right? I would like to raise a question about the outcome of my previous action then. I took a 5-foot step from the bridge to the shore. That should not have required a check, so I should still be there, right?

No, it's an Acro. check "TO" move at half speed. Otherwise you just fall.

This. Unless you have Nimble Steps, the balancing-based rogue talent whose name I can't recall, or something, it requires an acrobatics to move at all. Hence why I had everyone taking 10 that could to get across initally. Otherwise, I'd've had everyone 5' stepping the whole way across.

Okay, I'll move 15 and ready the action to cast, resulting in the damage above, if that works.

Opal moves in toward the center and sprays the closer one with a rainbow of colors. Color Spray, DC 14 will save.

The big thing that Chelsea pegged with missiles swings its big-ol, pointy stick at you, being all cast-y at its full reach!
AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 262d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 = 13

You'll need a DC 10 + 13 + 1 = 24 Concentration to complete the spell.

Cold Iron sweeps down in its attack of Opportunity.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Attack of Opportunity over, Kyoshiro invests a swift action to enchant his polearm and swings again, this time using a power attack.

1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 1 = 24
1d10 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 16
- Cold Iron

Not sure if the above is the attack from THIS round or the prepared attack from last round (assuming I got an AoO)... if there was no AoO last round then the first attack is my prepared action and the 2nd roll, my attack from this round.

They only entered your threatened squares, so they didn't provoke from you (unless you're trying to stab Baz, which I'm pretty sure is pvp, do ho ho.) Though your actual attack'll hit.

Harboth fires at the big thing trying to hurt Opal.

attack (PBS, Rapid): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 9
damage (PBS): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

attack (PBS, Rapid): 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 - 2 = 16
damage (PBS): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Are these things "natural"? If so, I will check it: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Right, reach, I forgot about that. :/

Concentration: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Baz steps back five feet and fires an arrow at the nearest creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Don't forget, Baz cast Bless.

OOOOOH I forgot that - maybe my AoO hit on a 15?

I'm running on the ideology that you readied an attack while moving, and the first roll is a posthumous readied action and the second one is just the attack for next round. I've got this in perspective, yes? Also, 14 actually hit; don't see where it didn't. They're pretty big targets, though 26 damage does not bring it down.

Yep - consider my round stuff posted

Round 2 of darktime!
---

For the record. Baz's arrows are CI with twenty silver blanched.

Knowledge: Rapier guy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Add +4 if religion, planes, or arcana.

I just wore 22hps! Holy crap. Is anyone on medic duty? Is the map up to date - I thought one stepped closer.

It is not; I can't update the map from work, though I can see the map, hence the changelog of stuff for me to remember when I get home.

I can heal if you do not want me doing damage. It is also a very slow process...

Ahhh... Ye olde Naughty stick? Nah - kill stuff but my bet is I'll drop soon

Baz flicks his wrist and a wand appears in his hand. He touches Kyo with the wand. Baz then prays to his goddess to pass judgement on his foes as he steps back again.

CLW for Kyo: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Spring-loaded wrist sheath, CLW, declare Judgement of Sacred Protection, +1 to Baz's AC. Five foot back.

Note that the spring-loaded wrist sheathes and judgement are both swift actions, though I'll look over the sheathes and see what the item-loading time is to compare it to just ripping it out of it

I thought about that, but I figured since Baz didn't use a move action...

Jeb shimmies some more? Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

[dice=CLW for Kyo]1d8+1

Thanks mate

For ease of the actions. Forget the judgement. Looks like Baz would have to five foot first before healing Kyo.

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Opal lays down to take a nap.

Yay for being completely useless! I would be on heal duty, but I'm dreaming of the afterlife at the moment. I wouldn't bother waking me up until I am no longer in a threatened square.

Waiting for the map to be renewed

Paizo.com was down for the 1.5 hours I was awake and not busy while at home yesterday, so I didn't get at the map. Today is my local PFS S&S game, so it likely won't be until honey-bunches of later until I touch it up. I'll mock up a skydrive map with MSpaint power later if I get a moment, though it won't be editable like googledocs (obviously.)

Its all good

Round 2

Harboth, what's your idea? If you move before me, see if you can take down #2... I have some ideas

You also have no idea you're rolling an 18 next attack. You're rerolling that if you delay.

Jeb swims? Incoherent swim checks!: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Concur also.

I would like a break too.

break

Though Dragon*con isn't nearly half the difficulty of Gencon (especially since I've only presigned up for only one thing so far, and don't have a whole lot I can actually play), it sounds unanimous. I'll inactive this and let everyone know when we're out of the break, then! In the meantime, think about what you might want run; I'll likely have played at least one (maybe more) of the Season 5s by then.
