GM Captain Trip's Giantslayer Adventure Path - Now with 50% more calories!

Game Master Chad Newman

I'll take two CLW.

Here's the loot list I've been maintaining. This is what we found since the raid started, plus a couple of things that I know that weren't sold from the previous loot list. loot list linky

I'm super chill when it comes to loot, if you want something, let me know, add it to your sheet, and I'll adjust the list.

Of current note, we have 8 potions of CLWs and 2 of CMW. I would suggest that Sasha and Corentin take one of each.

The document says I need permission to see it. I have requested permission. PUt me down for two cure light wounds potion if two still remain unclaimed. Thanks.

Just so everyone is aware, in case it wasn't clear, I've picked up a healer for the group. I play in a few other games with the new player and I think he'll make a good addition.

Johan, he worked out his background that he arrived with the dwarves, so while you don't know him all that well, his face is definitely familiar. He hasn't been around the clan very long however.

So, hello everyone! My name is Walter, and I've been assigned to try to keep you alive enough to save the city!

Great to meet you Walter/Jaghal. It's quite the task you've assigned yourself, we seem to find lots of ways to bleed off hp. We always have fun doing it though :)

Sorry, forgot to change the permissions.

Use this link, Linky and you should be able to see/edit it. Link is also in my profile stat line

I've taken off 2 CLW for you Johan, so you can add them to your sheet if you haven't already.

Good lord, look at that list. I'm giving you all too many goodies :)

You mean Szacha, right?

He means both of us. :)

Thanks Giz, that works fine now. And thanks for keeping up with the loot. I know how much work that can be.

Hmm. I have a mw chain shirt, a mw composite bow and long sword, and about 100 gp of potions. I hope to someday buy a healer's kit. My net worth is less than the armor the new player has. lol. I am not sure you have spoiled us yet… Of course we still have to sell and divvy that loot up.

Daring is my surname! Anyway, Life link is not something you do to everyone. Szacha was very welcoming, so he got it. When and if you need it, you will get it ^_^

Otherwise if you understand the ability, you can ask for it.

@Szacha: Took the 2 CLWs off the list, add them to your sheet if you haven't already.

@Johan/all: For the sake of ease, if there is something you want from the list, let me know, or just take it off the list yourself. Either way, just make sure you post in the discussion what you are taking, so we know where it went. E.g: Johan is taking 1 of the alchemist fires and 1 vial of acid (loot updated)

@Jeghal: Welcome aboard! I noticed that you're playing a life oracle. Have you thought about taking the Fey Foundling feat? It fits thematically well with a gnome and is stupidly good for a life oracle with life link. Just a thought.

That would be an awesome feat to have, although it does not match the backstory at all ^_^ Of course, I could be adopted or have other explanation for the feat, as the god blood running in my veins healing me, but since the character is ready I think I should not change it harshly as that, but thanks for the suggestion.

I get the feeling the four of us could be attacked by that chain at the same time, couldn't we?

That would be pretty cool (if devastating). I have a feeling the whole "muscle bulging" thing doesn't bode well.

Thanks for for the combat healing Jag :)

I won't confirm or deny a 20' reach and any feats such as great cleave that might exist. :)

For what its worth, Giant will be Johan's next favored enemy just because of this fight. I feel like I wasted my shots last round. My hope was that by dropping an orc the creature might get a hand free and attack the other orcs instead of us. But then we closed...

It was a good thought Johan. Plus who knows what would have happened if all four orcs were up.

Besides, as the priests of Abadar say, "the only good orc is a dead orc"

Yea. I did not realize the orcs were locked in the chains too. I figured they could drop them when they wanted/needed to.

I assume you already took the gnome trait against giants in account when you calculated the attack, right? I see a -4 there so I'm gonna assume that.

Actually didn't Szacha have 3 hp from the rage?

Ah! That's right!!! DM, no pressure: let me know if you prefer to leave things as is or if Szacha is still standing (barely).

Szacha, is your max HP correct on your profile? It shows 30, not 27.

Argh... Sorry about the mess! I must have changed the FC bonus from Fast Learner at the last minute when creating the PC and not adjusted the status line. Yes. should be 30...

So I should be at +5 / 30... GM, I'm the one who goofed, so no pressure if it messes things up. I'll stay down if you prefer.

Shake it off man, if you're up you're up, and now you are healed! But try not to take another hit like that in this round, or I'll not be able to save you.

Ah! Ah! I'll wait for the GM's take if you don't mind :)

I am going on a working vacation starting on the 30th until July 17 or so. I should be able to get on at least once a day to check in on things, but there may be a day or two without access here or there. (I'm going to Georgia to be with my family and give the grandparents a break from taking care of the niece and nephew.) If you are in my game, please bear with me and I will update as often as possible. If I am in your game and seem slow, you know why. Thanks.

A working vacation?!?

It's... complicated. My sister is a single mom and lives with my parents. She has a boy (age 2) and a girl (age 1). My parents are getting on in years and have difficulty keeping up with the grandkids. My sister has to work, so my wife and I are going up to visit (vacation) and at the same time, to give my parents a break from childcare (so we will be babysitting; hence, work). It gives us a chance to bond with our niece and nephew that we would not otherwise have, since they live in Georgia and we in Mississippi.

Sounds like a great way to spend time with the family and very nice of you to do. Enjoy the trip and the kids :)

Indeed!

Send us pictures!

You guys running from the swarm - do you know that if a swarm is composed of tiny creatures, like this one, you can do half damage with most weapons?

Hi guys,

The Captain wanted me to let you know that he's tied up today and won't be able to post. Sasha and Jaghal, if you wouldn't mind, he asked that you spread the word to the other games you're involved with him in.

Consider it done.

Sorry all, hectic weekend for me which was followed up with me being offsite yesterday for work which kept me doing actual work instead of the fun kind. Back to business!

This is one of those combats to make you rethink your life as an adventurer... We're gonna take days to recover!

Enjoy that critical. I'm never again gonna hit as hard as that...

@Giz are you casting Dancing lights on the undead which is attacking us?

I kinda got confused...

Yup.

I'm out of spells and don't see much point in wasting a crossbow bolt at this time.

If you could have two of orbs go in it's eye sockets that would make for a cool effect. Maybe the third in it's ribcage :)

Ha, I can imagine... I spent two encounters with the party and I'm short of spells already... Imagine a whole day trying to save the city...

This AP is pretty ruthless with the main series of encounters. It gives you zero time to recoup spells and such.

The good news is you are terribly close to the conclusion, and the end of book 1. :)

It seems I didn't answer your question Corentin, sorry. Yes, I would like to carry that CMW potion, just in case.

All yours Jaghal.

FYI,

I will be without internet from July 20-25th. I am also moving at the beginning of August, so I expect there to be some delays in setting up internet. Please bot me as necessary during that time.

Your crossbow will get a workout to be sure :)

I fear for our chances without the outstanding mustache to hold things together. :)

I hope the move goes well Giz and good luck with the new place.

Godspeed Giz!
