I think the voices in Kestens head now have voices in their heads. Makes it tough to keep up :)
XD
Dunk, stfu, I'm talking to Elwyn here!
Where are Foxy, Zimmerfall and Blanche btw, I've lost them it would seem.
Posting from my phone, but didn't want to hold up. DM can you move Blake up with Kestan after he heals some. Would prefer a spot with flanking if possible to attack. If not get next to Kesten and Aid another again to give him a +2 attack. Thanks.
Actually Blake, i,m using a reach weapon, so might I suggest stepping in front of me and simpmy attacking? You'll have your choice of 3 prime targets. ;)
I have a quick trip to Louisville this weekend. I travel all day today and Sunday and I have a meeting all day Saturday. Not sure if I will have the internet access, time, or energy to post again until Monday. DM post Blake for me if needed. Thanks.
Guys, in less than 10 hours I will be undergoing (major) eye surgery, so it's possible that I can"t react for 48 to 96 hours. Just a tiny head's up, and I'd appreciate it if you fudge the dice roll to make my doctor roll a natural 20 :D
/Rick
Praying your doctor's hands are steady, your care givers hands are comforting, and that you will have a speedy recovery.
Woot! Runk makes the best of his first chance to flank :)
Everyone go ahead and get ready to level your characters after this encounter you will be going up to level 2. Don't update your stat line until after the encounter though :P
Sweet!
Shame if Fofin can't come back. I really liked the way he was handling the character. :(
Woohoo level 2.. let's see what Oracle's get.
So far I like hiim, but he's not very combat effective is he? Anyone got any ideas?
Busy week starting my new position as pastier for three churches. Posting from my phone right now, DM please make a Diplomacy roll for Blake. Goal to assert our authority and have this leader accept his subservient position. I'll be kind but not false, no "Oh you great and awesome gobos" type flattery.
Refresh my memory: HP is PFS-style, right?
Ethan is leveled.
Runk's leaving it to the more diplomatic to chat up the goblin. He'll hop in when something needs stabbing :)
Let me know when you need a flanking buddy :-D
Should I just keep going for Oracle, or maybe multi-class a bit. What do you guys reckon?
What would you multiclass to?
I'm having a similar conundrum with taking a couple levels of ranger. Zizouket's would get armor much cheaper than bracers, improved saves, a few more skills, and precise shot without having to take PBS.
5 > 15 > 20 > 30 etc.
You're right. I knew that rule for movement, but I was thinking that a reach weapon threatened the square two diagonals away. Turns out that was a 3.5 rule that Pathfinder purposely overturned, which frankly seems a stupid decision. So now, everyone just has to remember that Zizouket is 10 feet away from the panther. It looks like the panther is 5-ft away from Zizouket, but he's not. He'll have to take a 5-ft step toward Zizou and away from Runk, but to which square? And let's say someone wanted to step between Zizou and the panther. There's 10 ft between them, but where do they step to? Silliness. Was there a problem with the way it was in 3.5?
In 3.5 you had other shenanigans.
Zizouket is standing at 15 feet from his target, but can strike even though he only has 10 feet range. :P
Hitpoints is half the dice +1, like in PFS?
Yes PFS hitpoint rules.
Okidoki, Kesten is updated for level two..
WITHOUT HEROLABS!! xD
Sorry for the absence of Blake, RL has been overly busy. The last week of August I started my new position serving as the pastor for three rural churches and I have been extra busy getting to know the denominations leaders and the members of each of the congregations. I am starting to settle into a more regular routine and should be able to get back to more regular posting soon. I will also let you know that between the 19th and the 29th of September my family will be traveling for a family wedding and reunion and I probably won't have a lot of access or time for posting during that time. Again sorry for the inconvenience to the rest of the party, looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with all of you ASAP.
Bali, make sure to check the Thornkeep gameplay thread. We're waiting on Olik!
Sorry for my absence folks and I further apologize for the fact that I will not be able to reprise my role as the surly dwarf with a beard of gold. Work and the matters of life have taxed me both heavily recently and I cannot see a break in the clouds in my foreseeable future. Therefore, I must begrudgingly throw in the towel on this excellent story, which has been made all the more rich by its quality narrator and characters.
I wish you all the best and, if circumstances allow in the future, would be honored to play with (or under as GMs) any of you again. Thank you all for the enjoyable experience and masterful storytelling, I still see greatness in this group and hope you all have grand adventures in the future!
Sorry to hear you won't be able to continue. Even for the brief time we were all able to adventure together your contribution was excellent. I hope all the work/life stuff smooths out and we're able to game together in the future!
Yeah, best of luck. Thanks for letting us know.
Aww man. Sorry to hear about the Real Life stuff. Best wishes for you. Hopefully, we'll see you 'round the forums.
Just a reminder, we are leaving on a family vacation and I won't be back until the 30th. Might try to pop on and post if there is time, but no promises. Blake will continue to attack the panther and stay away from fire throwing friends and foes.
Hate on real life, for takin' you away!
RIP Fofin! :-)
Evil panther is evil :-(
We going to be replacing Fofin? Or is he to be a dm pc? :-)
Ethan if Runk were the sympathetic type he'd be feeling bad for you. No love from the dice gods :( I'm sure Erastil is just saving up the killer rolls for later :)
I am the priest of a god whose favored weapon is a bow...and I can't hit a freakin' thing.
The dice-roller is a harsh mistress, she is.
Ahh well.
As long as we stay above 4 I don't plan on replacements. This is exactlly why I overfilled the party :P Now at some point I *might* combine groups since all of them are lingering down to core members a bit. But we aren't to that point yet. I'm going to play Fofin for now (especially since you all jumped ahead a bit)
If the panther hasn't downed me yet.
>> +6 +4 against AC 16 yikes!!
This fight is going the wrong way, might need to start looking for replacements. Damned panther will be the end of us all! :D
This dice-roller really, REALLY hates me. Sigh.
Runk begins focusing his halfling luck towards Ethan....
Ethan "Unlucky" Sower.
He always meant well, but his God just didn't like him at all :P
Dak Fofin should be +5 to hit with his pick, which hopefully puts it through the cats skull :)
Good call, adjusted :P
Ethan keep in mind that before you shoot you can attempt to break the entangled condition as a move action using a strength check or escape artist check vs the spells original DC. Since you're shooting it's basically worth trying each round.
DC 14 I believe.
Good to know. I doubt I would still hit in this case (net +3), but I will try next round.
It might...I think he's still stunned so his AC might not be that high atm. Interestingly the spell is a bit vague on what happens once you break being entangled. It references making the initial save and then having to save again at the end of your turn so I'm guessing if you break the entangle then you start making Reflex saves at the end of your turn to stay free.
If that's the case I'd say give it a roll and perhaps you can go into the next round unentangled.
Dak since I think you're still GM-PCing Blake might I suggest he swift action to use his Magus mumbo-jumbo to give his sword a +1 enhancement bonus? Looks like it lasts for a minute once he does.
Runk, little suggestion to you for saving time
Instead of: (ooc)Attack 1(/ooc)(dice)1d20(/dice)
You can use: (dice=Attack)1d20(/dice)
Result:
Result:
Tadaaaaa!
Nice thanks :)
The panthers move got me thinking about Acrobatics as a way to avoid AOOs. Assuming you are moving through multiple opponents threatened squares do you roll a single Acrobatics check and compare to all their CMDs or do you make a roll per (as per the panther)? The Acrobatics skill doesn't directly address the situation. At one point it references
move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemybut then goes on to discuss moving at half speed (which would imply your full movement rather than a single square). Later it switches to plural when it says,
to move past foes
.
Looking at the use of Acrobatics as it pertains to balancing and such it's one check per round (unless you take damage which specifically calls for another check).
I'll do some digging on the forums as well but thought I'd throw it out there. Some of my interest is just academic but I also figure Runk will be doing a lot of in combat dancing about so thought it would be worth discussing prior running into the situation. In the end I don't know that it's a big deal either way and obviously I'm fine with which ever way you like Dak.
Technically I would think it would be one roll to get past everyone but to make it a little more difficult on the panther I opted to roll for each person. I'm fine, going forward only doing one roll.
