For the record, I am perfectly fine with retraining rules. Also, right now is probably a decent period of downtime, if you like - unless you need a town. The nearest town ion the general path you are following is a small village called Shinnerman’s Fortune.
That sounds like a interesting build. Also having two artifact weapons in the field against giants sounds like a good thing. Guessing there will be no artifact rapier or bow in this AP. :)
Just waiting on Balmir and Mouser

Will I be able to do the retraining of Combat Advice to Shield Brace
Sure, I have no problems with retraining.
Ok I will look it up tonight and re do my feat.
I was having trouble with the google slide setup, so I created a new one. Links are updated, but just wanted to point it out if anyone got confused or keeps a copy open for some reason. Let me know if you have any problems.
Hey all. Hope you had a great holiday. I did. I think that most of the busy stuff is behind me now so I'm ready to get going full speed again.
Sorry folks. Work got crazy busy, and I ended up having to travel with very limited access. Still on the road, but should be back to normal on Monday.
Sounds good no rush
Just a quick note, I had an unexpected death in the family (IRL). I may be a little slow in posting as I work with my family on the arrangements.
So sorry to hear that. Nothing more difficult.
No worries we have slowed a bit and I expect to with summer coming as well.
Yeah, this is not an ideal time for anyone.
My work has been crazy this last few weeks, and is not going to let up for a few more. Unfortunately I am finding little time to spend here, but I will try to keep things moving as best I can. Thank you for your patience.
The giant's just standing there dazed anyway so there's no great hurry :)
Right there with you. I get it.
Sorry all - I just got really slammed at work last 2 weeks. 105 hours last week, and only slightly lighter today. My family is not happy with me either...
Can't say that things will be back to normal for next few days or weeks, but it should be much less than this craziness. Anyway, I will do my best to get us moving again.
Thanks, and my apologies again!
Yeah, don't be stressed on our account.
Thats rough but I get it. As you have seen in the games I GM things have become super slow as well. Work plus crrona virus causing kids to be around all the time whne not working.
So if Somer dies Warpriest with three levels in Musket Master? Alternatively Inquisitor with three in Musker Master?
Honestly I am open to suggestions those are just the first that came to mind.
I almost feel worse for him if he lives, this will leave mental scars I would think. Awake and melting inside a plant, so much pain.
So, I have tried and failed to get some response from Derrik in quite some time now. What do you all want to do?
1. I (or someone) can continue to bot him
2. We just let him go and continue with 5
3. We try to recruit another (probably specifically a cleric, right?)
The channeling here certainly saved Somer, and probably Mouser as well. But I think you haven't had that much trouble otherwise. And I know that while a cleric type has plenty of uses, this AP is mostly giants and such, and less undead types of things.
Thoughts?
A lot of players have dropped off the boards during the pandemic - changes in jobs, schedules, or availability have been brutal. I'd say we should recruit a replacement healer of some sort.
We are currently at 5, right: Balmir, Tam, Somer, Mouser, Derrik.
I have a coworker who would be interested in joining at a healer. The caveat is that he is not available until about 3 weeks from now. He said that he'd like the spot if it's not filled by then but he doesn't want to block someone else from joining earlier.
First, a three week wait for someone with an IRL connection is an amazing deal. If that is the rout we go, and my first vote, there is no need for it to be a cleric. A cleric is nice but so many classes can heal.
Second, if no healer things will be rough but do able. I would want to ret-con for a few wands if we went that rout.
Third, this is a rough time for everyone, which is an understatement. If Derrik reappears I would want to find a spot for him.
The other group decided to call it quits at the TPK for a variety of reasons. I can recheck my notes, but I think I already offered all of the a chance to jump on board here, and everyone was already pretty loaded.
Let's do this then. I'll bot Derrik until Balmir's friend is available, and then he can bring in a character that he/she/ze likes. At our pace, 3 weeks really isn't that long.
If Derrik returns, we'll figure something out.
If we're gonna continue on we should at least make sure we have a healing wand that we can use!
Remember, you have a lot of party treasure - some claimed, some not. On it, I see two wands of CLW, and a number of potions as well (Mouser has 6, Somer has 9, Balmir has 7). And for now, Derrik's character will continue with you.
Also, you all should look in there. I see a potion of gaseous form unclaimed that either Somer or Mouser could have used to escape plant jaws, and a scroll of mirror image could have been fairly handy in that encounter.
Yep, time to go though the loot. Honestly at one point I began to think it was an empty room.
Would Somer have been able to drink a potion in there? I assumed he would not.
Probably not - although until I started researching Mouser's questions, I wasn't really noticing that you were pinned the whole time, so even attacking was out. I would, however, have allowed a hero point to manage to swallow a potion.
I am going to reorganize Derrik's character a little while you rest, because I think he could be more helpful in a supporting role, which is what I will stick to while botting him.
OK, Derrik-bot is good to go. He was actually 2 levels behind, which didn't help. I also re-tooled him a little to add better channeling and remove the exalted level (just for sake of keeping it more simple for me).
