Okidoki
Damned curse though :-p
Dropping and running is baaaaad for me ^^
What about weapon cords; would they make any difference?
Ethan I believe that should have been 1d8 + 1 for your damage.
Assuming Dak is ok with Ethans 5' step Runk will be moving to where he was and attacking once someone is on the other side of the hound.
With them lowered by the hall would that let the stabby halfling flank?
Got back from vacation, I can't take time to catch up today...just to busy getting caught up at work. I should be able to post tomorrow, but DM feel free to keep things move and have Blake attack if possible.
Man this one is a rough fight. The dice gods are not with you all. You are getting good hits but just not enough damage.
Runk is going to invest in a step stool...
It is odd how many flying creatures they threw in to the early parts of this AP :P
Flying creatures with DR.. That's rough man.
Only thing that can help is magic attacks now, since those bypass the creatures's DR.
*FACEPALM*
Why didn't Kesten zap him with his hand? That's magic right?
I was just looking at my Chracter sheet an notice the ransuer I am using was collected from the dungeon under town. Did I ever get it appraised or checked for magic?

They've taken less damage from both fire and electrical attacks, too, though.

It was the ransuer off the statue rather than from the sin spawn, which I believe was MW. I think we checked for magic and it wasn't but could certainly double check.
As far as energy resist goes (ooc wise) Yeth hounds don't have any resists but these might be special Lamashtu varieties.
I do believe this is the one we took from the statue.
This hound thingie is f@*@ing annoying.
Anyone up for a combined "drag and drop" action?
We'll use the net, drag it down, and Runk could coup de grace it?
That should say 'frak that' vs some DR it has, no?
How about someone picks it up and bundles it and passes it to someone, and then we all combine/aid to get it over the beastie?
Man, that DR5 is a pain in the ass.. :(
If you don't have a silver weapon, you're screwed.
I took 9 points of damage and had 12 hit points left, but you described Ethan going down.
I have 3 hit points left after the hound's attack.
Was I tripped by the hound, or was this just a miscalculation?
Hm I had you at 6 HP. Maybe a mis calculation then.
I started with 21, and I was hit twice for 9 points of damage each time.
I have two channels left, so I better make'em count! :-)
Found the problem. I still had you at 15 on Roll20. :P So ignore the you going down part.
Also, adjusted some damage on the dog he is down 10 more than I had him based on a miscalculation on my part concerning the fire/electric damage
Kesten is a bit confused. Did the zappy hand thingie do something, or nothing?
It did in fact hurt it.
See, there's a nice round for the home team :)
It took us long enough, god damnit :D
How do we stand resource wise at this point? I kind of feel like we're fairly committed at this point to pushing forward (both due to the goblins at our back and the loss of surprise) but I know we used a lot of our magical resources on the hounds.
Out of combat healing is covered by our wand but how stands all the rest.
I am out of channels and almost out of prepared spells.
I agree with Runk, we are story line committed to pressing on, but we are zapped of resources. I have no uses left of my Arcane Pool and only one spell left I think. Unless we can find a way to hide out in the complex and rest I think we have to try and take the last of the villains weakened.
Zizou has one lvl-1 spell left. The wand could work in-combat, too, couldn't it, just it would take an action from Ethan or Zizou, who has +10 UMD.
As for continuing, conceivably we could be fighting 2 other conspirators, one with a tiger if I recall correctly. Remember how much trouble we had with Gogmurt's panther, by the way.
I think we should see if any of these passages offers a discreet path to return here, bypassing the goblin fort. Didn't Runk hear the ocean from one door?
The wand would work in combat as well and I suppose at our level is as good as spells.
Not sure where the tiger though is coming from (though perhaps I missed something). As far as I recall we have a wizard/sorceress to find and the demon-lady in charge to account for.
We could look towards the cave. I'm sure it leads out but not sure if there's a way to navigate the sea. That might take care of getting back in but would still leave the bad guys to react to our attack.
Back to the tiger topic, perhaps you're thinking of what I read as the wizards familiar...I was thinking more house cat sized though.
Ah, it was a 'weird cat'. I was thinking it was a 'big cat' and I think I was just envisioning a tiger.
Kesten has a few zaps left, and no level spells anymore. He's still good at hitpoints, but that's about it.
Maybe it would be best to rest up. This fight took a lot out of us.
Posting this to all my games. I am heading out of town tomorrow until Mon-Tues next week. I should still be able to get a post in at least daily but it is possible that might not happen. Just wanted to give a heads up.
Thanks!
Safe travels GM Dak, we'll be here when you get back.
so what do you say?
Heh apparently Runk votes via action. You know what they say, curiosity killed the halfling....
Years ago we had a Dragonlance game and the younger brother of the DM was playing a Kender. The rest of us got fed up with his running off antics and came up with a plan we called "Operation Kenderhoist." We worked it all out with the DM ahead of time and then in game when the Kender was about to run off we told the DM we wanted to put our plan into action...everyone made our rolls, the Kender player was told what he needed to roll. We hogtied him and stuffed his mouth with a rag and hung him to a tree. Not something I would do today...we were all in Highschool at the time. It was funny and his little brother was PO'd at us and quit playing for two whole weeks.
That's great, and probably pretty flavorful for a party dealing with a kender :)
Mostly it was just being mean to the DM's little brother.
I'm at 19/21 and Blake is at 24/25.
Should I burn 2 more charges to top us off, or save them in case of dire circumstances?
My vote is burn them. It's a bit of a resource waste but I've seen one or two hit points be the difference too many times. I'd reather burn a bit of gold rather than lose a character (plus the wand is pretty loaded still).
I'm okay with it, too, but I want to give a chance for objections to be voiced.
I tend to be more conservative with the healing. I only need 1 hp and more likely than not the 1 hp isn't going to make a big difference keeping me alive...but getting more than one hp back later will be more useful than getting only one back now. In my opinion we should only use the wand if its three or more hp that are needed. But what ever the group decides I am cool with.
If you're okay with it, so am I.
I figure me might need those two charges to keep someone from dying.
Let's go with what we have, then.
Wand: 42 charges
EDIT: I had actually posted about the same time Blake was posting where I stated that I would go ahead and use two charges to heal us in full. I have no idea where that post went. It isn't showing up in my thread. If you can see it, ignore it.
Since Blake is okay with being down one hit point, and I am okay with being down two, I figured we'd save the charges for more desperated circumstances.
Back home and to a regular posting schedule.
Sorry lads, been kinda very extremely busy with real life and work for a few days. Back now though! :D
Who's up next? I think we might be waiting to see how our stabbing went :)
Yep, I think the DM needs to resolve for us.
Yeah sorry was going to post last night but my usual PC was down. Should have an update today.
Thought of this late but someone might want to take a stab or two under the table.
