GM-Foxy's Hell's Rebels (Inactive)

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

If we take the slower speed for the adventure you might actually have enough downtime to do some crafting. But you don't need to waste feats on saving money. If you're short on resources, because the adventure doesn't hand out the WBL just tell me.

Well *blush*, here's the thing... I love taking crafting feats to get ahead of WBL. Saul can corroborate this. But if that's frowned on, I'll happily take a different feat instead.

No if you like it then go for it.

I took craft wondrous item so we can get some of our stuff at half price.

I also took glitterdust and defending bone. Cassius, what spell did you learn this level? Don't want to overlap too much.

Magic Missile, Invisibility (bloodline), and Burning Gaze.

That reminds me that I need to look at the Players guide and read the rebellion rules for the mini game, then we can have some down time.

Also went just full Oracle for Fhingle so.

HP 5+2+1
Skills +1 to a bunch
Spells Path of Glory (2nd)

Bard 5 lingering performance for feat
5+1 hp
Skills yep a bunch

Hey Foxy, I think maybe you had the otygh (sorry spelling) go before it's turn. Does that mean it is back to Saul and Zea?

I rearrange init sometimes when it makes not much difference and allows for alternating between all of the party and then the enemies, as that speeds things up. But here I forgot to take you back into the row with active characters. But Jarithe ended it.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your comment, Foxy. Traps are generally disabled with a skill check. Do you want me to give a bit more flavor about how he does that? In that case, I'll need some more info about what it looks like.

You failed. But within the limit of four so it didn't go off and you might try again.

That should say HER shoulder. Jackdaw tries to touch her because he thinks she is just in their minds or something like that.y

wow this npc is worse than a door at pausing action. Cassius, roll a will save please!

Gah, I misread and thought Saul had to do the save. Sorry.

You might have seen right if you read my original post.

Which I edited immediately as the second woman has no line of sight to Saul.

AHA! REDEMPTION! ;)

If we are in battle again, what is the turn order?

Dropping this in all my games. I started a new work assignment today that leaves me with less posting time. How much less I'm not sure, but my teacher hours mean I can still post every day. I'm not quitting by any means, just letting you know my posting hours will be more limited.

Fhingle I think you don't have to change the language you speaking combat if someone else learns it

My 28 intimidate didn't do anything earlier so don't expect much. Historically, Foxy doesn't give unnamed characters much to say. Which is fine, Jackdaw has no problem just killing the prisoner.

Also, Fhingle-- I speak celestial too now. Since level 4 actually.

Yeah just hoping that the circumstance of killing her friends helps out. No biggie if not. Mostly just RPing Zea's frustration and confusion at the situation.

I speak Abyssal as well, I cannot speak both at the same time, I was just hoping the lady could understand me maybe.

Little Mac, you should take these 4 wands of hold person (8 charges each). That is a pretty awesome combat option for you.

Sure could be fun to mess with people, Foxy how many charges remain and can I just have them in 1 wand? Or do you want Fhingle to carry 4 around?

That is what remains. I just made an average. And I don't care how you note that down.

We killed 4 of them, each with 1 wand with 8 charges. I put them all in your inventory. You'll have to just keep track of how many charges you have.

I'm slowing figuring out Jackdaw. While Saul's main characteristic is lots of internal talking like a gumshoe narrator, Jackdaw is all action and confidence with arrogance. Might bite him, but it is more fun to play the two as well... not polar opposites, but at least quite a bit different from each other.

I didn't have a good in game reason for the personality change at all but I like Cassius's explanation. You broke his mind a fair bit with the whole "tied to the chair for weeks" thing.

I didn't think of it at the time, but retconning a little I would like to say that Saul's brain shifted during that time and he would go into this Jackdaw personality to escape the darkness and emotion pain of his friends doing this to him and the physical pain of the withdrawal.

Hey Foxy I think you do traps differently than me. I have always played that the perception check indicates that there is a trap there and if it can be disabled. When I say I am searching for traps that is the thing I am looking for from you otherwise I figure there is nothing that can be done.

I have to meet the first trap that can't be disabled one way or the other, so I don't see the point in searching for the "disable". Or am I missing something?

ok.

A heads up, due to a vacation, I will be sporadic at best from March 25th until April 5th. I'll post as able but it will almost certainly be far less than normal.

Nice German Saul. Good grammar even and punctuation!

They speak German in hell? That's bitter.

"I am ok yes, Jarithe when did you learn Celestial? I can also speak Infernal and understand it now while in a battle trance, don't ask me how but I just can." Fhingle says

Just as an info for Mr. I don't understand the Infernal talking:

Whenever you are in combat, you can only speak and understand the selected language. This does not interfere with spellcasting, but it does apply to spells that are language dependent. You gain the selected language as a bonus language.

At 5th level, pick an additional language to speak in combat and add it to your list of known languages.

I picked Abyssal not realizing that Infernal was what Devils spoke so I picked the wrong Language. So when I posted that I was wrong there, I will have to check Hero Lab when I get home.

Your profile tells abyssal, but it makes no sense and you used infernal in game, so I suggest you correct that in your profile.

Will do boss. I was going to ask once I clarified at home if I could change it

Yeah I figured either German or Russian should be the language of hell.

One nice thing about PBP is that you don't really know who I am so I can be totally politically incorrect.

Our country provided quite some of the population for Hell for sure. But that they managed to take over the place and set the standards surprises me. :P

Oh you're from Germany, Foxy? Always interesting to me to hear about players real lives. I'm in midwest US.

Yup, that was par on course for me.... Insult the GM's country (hits self in face with palm several times). Well, Jackdaw had a nice run anyway. Lived longer than I thought he would...

haha I haven't found Foxy to be that vindictive so you might survive a bit longer.

:D

Spent a lot of time in Germany in Dusseldorf with family. Grandparents spoke it in the farm house along with Hebrew. I didn't hear English in that household lol

Zea has been in China which has really restricted internet. He was posting decently for about a week, but the last several days has disappeared altogether. I suggest passing him or botting him, if there is a simple buff spell he could cast that would be a good thing to do.

Thanks, Saul! Back now.

Posting this in the Games I am in. I will be away from today till Friday evening, I will update Friday night or Saturday.

Her casting would provoke attacks of opportunity and would also perhaps allow an init roll as several of us were ready with weapons. If you want a bad guy to get away that's cool

That's what the concentration rolls are for. And if she gets away is not said yet. But simply telling to stab her to death without running that past the GM is a bit too much in that case.

i'll put this conversation in discussion where I should have posted.

Would you like me to backup then? When I put the shackles on her, I should have rolled a grapple check first, to do it properly.

Shall I attempt to grapple, maintain grapple, and then shackle her?

I assumed you shackled her and kept her at the tip of your spear. When you tried to do a CDG (which would auto fail because of lack of helplessness), she disappeared from sight. Now it's your turn.

I moved you all to the room where the devil was.

Okay, that's fair. Shackling doesn't make someone auto-helpless. Probably should have bound her feet first.

But vanish and invisibility takes somatic components.
