Tomi, planning on leveling up anytime soon?

its 99% done on herolab, i was sort of waiting for an appropriate moment of epiphany to add summoner powers - though i suppose Ausk is in the mix already anyway.

Okay, sorry for the quiet this last few days . . . Lets get this thing back on track!

I'll wait until tomorrow morning for any last input on which way the group should go, then make a full post to get things started.

And just when we get things moving again...

I'll be out of town for at least the next three days attending a funeral. It's in northern Ontario so I'm not expecting reliable internet.

Should be back and rolling by Monday latest.

I will be away for a few days and posting may be sporadic. Bot me as needed. I will be back online regularly on Wednesday next week.

Pokes gameplay thread...

So, the dolphin is a summoned monster?

Nice epiphany by the way Tomi.

not how i envisioned it but need to get that 2nd level on the board :)

yes, summoned creature.

hadnt planned to summon often, eidolon will come a bit later though i think

GM, when I'm rolling perception I'm just adding the scent descriptor to remind you about it. It isn't mutually exclusive

Gotcha...

Lots of numbers floating around the last set of actions - let me know if I missed or miscalculated anything. Ausk, I figured your CMD for 13. Is that correct? I didn't see it listed on your sheet.

You missed my +2 to 1 AOO, but i'm guessing a total of 11 would still have missed.

Ok I think this current encounter/skill challenge as written is getting lost in the translation from pen and paper to PbP, I'm going to resolve it an move on.

stay tuned...

Okay, the retail Christmas season is kicking my butt something fierce, and I haven't been able to give this game the time or energy it deserves.

So with your indulgence, I'd like to put it on hiatus until the new year rather than keep limping along at a couple posts a week.

fine, makes sense

Can do.

=/

Works for me. Have a good holiday and I hope it isn't too crazy for you.

Season's greetings everyone.

Cheers! Hope everyone is having a great holiday.

Happy New Year! May it bring you many critical hits and no fumbles! (Except you GM Irondesk! For this game only please roll many, many fumbles!)

Are we ready to start this one up again?

Eagerly waiting.

Where did everyone go? :)

Still waiting.

Hi all thank for your patience. I'll be relaunching on Monday

Hope everybody had a good holiday season

aaand we're back!

Just learned something completely new....I thought it was spellcraft to identify auras...just looked it up and yep, its KN:Arcana

Yep, surprised me too actually. One of the nice features of Raging Swan's modules is their quick reference sections, and when it described the check required to ID the pool, I blinked, read it again, looked it up in the PRD, and went "huh, I'll be!"

Witches are no good against mindless undead. With Hound out of play, Vilesse doesn't have much to contribute here.

Yeah, between the zombies and ghouls of the last adventure and now this skeleton, Vilesse has not had many chances to shine. Unless you count, you know, pushing herself into negatives to TKO the BBEG with a slumber hex. That was kind of epic :>

Also note that ear piercing scream is not a mind affecting effect...just sayin'

Tomi hasn't posted at all on his account since mid November....perhaps he hasn't come back to the site. Doe anyone have an email address for him?

I've sent him a PM... not much else to be done if he's not checking his account though

Just going off the initiative rolls, shouldn't Wulfric have gone first? But wouldn't have changed my action.

Yes, but... Wulfric was before Wilf in the initiative order, and Wilf was occupying the only space from which Wulfric could have attacked with his pole arm. So In order to attempt the trip action. Wulfric had to delay inlt after Wilf advanced and grappled, allowing Wulfric to step into the space he had just vacated. Sorry for not calling that out clearly at the time.

Though actually my CMD against grapple is 21, moot point though.

Thanks, missed that.

We are waiting on Vilesse also?

Yep

Makes sense, I probably should have looked at the map :)

1/day posting?

Still nothing... it's been nearly 48 hours.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I understand the impatience, and I would love to get things back up to the same posting level before I put the game to sleep for 5 weeks. But... When we started this game I did promise that I would wait 48 hours for a character to post if needed, which is what has caused the current delay.

Also, Wilf please note in my previous game post I ret-conned some of the rolls in the party's favour due to me misreading some stats. This resulted in Wil'f original grapple not getting broken out of, which means you pinned the skeleton in round two, and were free to inflict damage in round three, which I have now rolled for you and applied. I normally don't like retroactively changing things, but in this case the error was mine and work against the party in a rather critical way, and it was a rewind of less than one round.

Off to Greece to see the inlaws this week, should have internet, but bot me if i am being slow.

Okey-dokey, enjoy your trip and don't give a second thought to your snow-bound, teeth chatteringly cold GM while you soak up that Mediterranean sun.

Internet ok here it seems. If it helps it snowed here this morning! But still, good food, bad but cheap wine and the inlaws to help with child care. :)

35 below after wind chill. So cold the car wouldn't start after work - took three hours to get a tow home - good food, cheap wine and a babysitter sounds idyllic right about now :>

Rules question: Soft cover is effective against touch attacks, yes?

Wow thats cold. Ok now i feel
extra lucky!
Yes as far as i can make out, which makes sense with the idea that soft cover makes it harder to aim rather than actuaĺly stopping the hit dead.

Hey guys,

updating tonight...

back to back 14 hr days mon and tues - will post wed. Man I'm really starting to loath these HQ visits.

@Vilesse... riiight, no familiar = no spell memorization. Well, lets let the healing spells you have already cast stand.. As you said yourself, you haven't been using them much anyway.

3 days and 0 posts. Are you guys letting this one die?

Hope not. Sorry my bad, i was waiting for people to react to something i had thought, but not actually posted. Been just a little tired this week.

Ok so I don't know what others are thinking, but I guess my dispersion of people would be this:
Vilesse against wall at the bottom of the stairs (between Wilf and Wulfric's current positions)
Ausk between Wilf and Vilesse's current positions
Tomi in Vilesse or Wulfric's current position
Wulfric in Tomi's current position with Wilf behind him against the wall.

This then fits with 1 major combatant that can see each side, 1 blind person each side (having been led back) and a good ambush position.

What do people think? because obviously I can't and wouldn't want too move them all without asking. :)

I agree with any plan that has Vilesse in back of the line of scrimmage but within 30' of where we expect the enemies to be.

Regarding Vilesse's current HP: before the current encounter...

Party Status after 8 hours
Wulfric (24/26 HP)
Ausk (17/17)
Vilesse (13(15)/13)
Wilf (14/23)
Tomi (6/22)

Then on round 6 of the current encounter...

Round 6

Tomi and Vilesse are caught in the creature's sound burst... Each takes 3 dmg and must pass a DC 12 Fort save or be stunned for 1 round ...

Which equals 12/13. All temporary HP used up.
