A friendly reminder from your GM that I'm not trying to kill you but this AP is just a killer over and over again!

Funnily enough, a fourth level of ninja would've saved you via improved uncanny dodge.
Not really "ha ha" funny I suppose. Just noting.

DC 13 Refl save Actually, the DC should be 14 I believe (since your effective sorcerer level is 6 for bloodline powers, right? And you now have 12 CHA thanks to that headband).
Also, I was looking over your sheet and saw that you didn't have any second-level sorcerer spells listed. You should be an effective 4th-level sorcerer for the purpose of spells, correct?

Looks like the DC is a Hero Lab error. I've corrected it.
Since Miso is crossblooded, that bloodline requires giving up a spell/level, so I don't get 2nd level spells until next level, unfortunately.
Male
Oh, so you actually just don't know any of that level.
Well I haven't solidified much of the on-the-way crafting, so what about a page of spell knowledge or something? I think there's also a robe that could help you, if I can remember it...

Well, the only two wondrous items I can think of, the page of spell knowledge and the spell lattice, both require caster level 17 :-o so they're out.
And anyway, in light of our current plight, Terflynn, sensibly, probably thinks to himself "eff this crap" and flies off to find greener, non-ninja-filled pastures. LOL
Male
There's some robe or something that lets you cast spells from scrolls using your spell slots. I can't remember what it is though.
And as for caster level, I'm a little fuzzy in my recollection but there's something about not having to be the caster level of the item.

Oh, yeah — that's the mnemonic vestment. (My PFS sorcerer has one of those).
Miso already has a robe of arcane heritage, but I wonder if you could somehow meld the two together or some such.
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Lol, when you said you couldn't remember the name of the mnemonic vestment I thought you were being clever.
Male
Ha! I didn't even think of that.

I had to make an emergency trip out of town. I will need to make some long-pending updates to Terflynn when I return.

Family & I are heading to St. Louis for the weekend. Should be back around by Monday night or Tuesday.
Male
So I'm prepping for a trip to France on Sunday. I'll be gone for two weeks. I will probably have internet, but I really don't want to spend my time in France on the internet.
Any one of you could bot me if you wanted. If you're worried about getting me killed, try the Minor Creation/Possess Object trick. Just make a wooden doll and put me in the chest.

Yay!
Then Miso is leveled and ready to go. :-)

Alright everyone: I've been weighing this for some time and have tried to avoid it but I think I need to put this campaign on a temporary hiatus. This semester is turning out to be even busier than I expected and some of the games I was hoping would be finished by now are still chugging along (don't worry, it's not just yours, Tek, but BS's RotR and some of my own as well!). Since we are at a good stopping point, let's take a short break before we descend to the areas beneath the pagoda.
I think once my own Iron Gods game finishes book 2 (after which it will be going on a potentially permanent hiatus), I will have more time to start this one back up. We probably have a month or so left in that one, depending on how long the final combat takes.
Hopefully this will also give everyone a chance to take a breather after about two years of continuous gaming. When we start back up some time this fall I hope/expect everyone to be reinvigorated to hit the rest of this AP with a new vigor and finish in record time!
Thank you for your understanding, everyone!

No problems. School is really important in this day and age. Thanks for the huge commitment and effort put forth to get us this far.
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Welcome back everyone! As promised, I would like to resurrect this AP and hopefully now that everyone has had a break for a few months we will all be reinvigorated to kick this thing into high gear.
The final for my plant-breeding class is on Tuesday so after that I should have much more time on my hands. I will also only have one more discussion section to teach after that as well and those two things have been my biggest time commitments this semester.
So I'm opening this back a few days early to let you all get reacquainted with everything and hopefully by Tuesday night we can start exploring beneath the pagoda!
Male
We're back!
I was totally in France when this dropped off. I felt bad. I hadn't expected France to be so internet poor.
So, I should probably actually update my sheet now... I put that off way too long.

Woohoo! I think I need to update Jennix as well. Didn't we gain a level right before we went on hold?

Back, Jack! Huzzah!
Plus, I had already leveled up to 11. Hooray for not procrastinating for once!

Worked out kind of well for me too. I wound up in Japan for a couple of weeks myself that would have taken me out. Will get leveled up to 11 as soon as I have the opportunity.
Male
I think I'm all updated. I did:
HP
Spells
Skills
Feat
I don't believe I got any other new class features.
Male
Zach, do your ranged attacks provoke or do you have that feat I can't remember but am reasonably certain exists?

Update:
I'll be leaving for Florida tomorrow to work on our fields down there for at least a week, probably closer to 10-11 days. While I'm there I won't be able to post as often as I normally do so my games might be running a little slow. I'll do my best to keep up though!
Male
No problem EF, thanks for the heads up.

Yep, appreciated. Real Life Comes First [tm], after all; it's what lets us play. :-)

So I'd normally have to make CL checks to heal the Clay Golem "cursed wounds", but my healing hexes only stop working once a creature has benefited from them, and the "cursed wounds" ability specifically says that a failed check results in no benefit. So I can basically spam my hexes until they *do* work, so there's no real reason to actually roll for checks with those. I'd need to roll for spells though, of course, and wands/potions don't even have a chance of working.
Hex heals:
CMW Jennix: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5) + 10 = 21
CSW Jennix: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (7, 1, 7) + 11 = 26
CMW Miso: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 5) + 10 = 22
I'll mark 3 charges from the infernal wand for you, Miso. That puts everyone back at full HP.
Male

Whoops, sorry. I accidentally posted their actions out of turn and skipped you guys. For some reason I thought only Jennix was up. My bad! Correction post coming.

I thought that was the EF-branded "rocks fall". "Everyone turns into high-level monks and flurry you to death before you can react!"

How many charges after the unaccounted 26?

I did miss the 26. I thought it went to Miso.
So, he would have needed two chrgs.

Gratz on star #5, Jennix!
(I'm hopeful mine shows up soon, having just hit the threshold myself...)

I passed the number of games requirement long ago but still have yet to run enough specials/exclusives. I think I'm up to five. So I need to run a few more.
Male
It's probably irrelevant, and too late to change at this point, but breaking free of the webs is one combat maneuver, and moving more than 5ft/not getting tangled again is another.
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Oh, sorry. I guess I didn't read that carefully enough. You guys took care of the last one pretty quickly so I don't image this guy lasting too long either.
Male
I will post when I can. Spent the weekend doing the three person viral rotation, and I'm the last to get it.

I haven't done any loot disbursement posts in a while, but you each have 2 potions of Cure Serious Wounds in your possession.

Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 = 13

So we seem to have lost Jennix (I messaged him two weeks ago and he hasn't responded yet) but I'm also only getting 2-3 posts per week on average from everyone here. I know we're all busy but I just wanted to encourage everyone to pick up the pace a little. We've only got a few encounters left in this book and I would like to finish it soon but at the current pace that is going to take several months.
Male
I can do whatever posting rate is needed, though I do prefer to give others an opportunity to post equally.

Real Life [tm] has kicked me considerably lately, but I will endeavor to pick up my pace.
As for Jennix, I believe some Real Life [tm] stuff got him too, as one of his PbPs had to have another GM step in (which isn't like him at all). I haven't heard from him either; I do hope all is okay and he's just gotten buried.
