GM Kiora's Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Kiora Atua

well you're lucky Hrut sweet-talked him because he'd probably be more of a jerk about it if he hadn't ;)

Unlikely to reach me again, but I'd rather have something prepared than discover it's been my turn for 8 hours when I'm next able to respond. :)

Totally forgot about the crit tables last night, I'll blame it on being tired :p

Poor roach got hit with the ugly stick.

Li'an gave him schooling in the only way she knew: The modern education system. Robbed of all personality and individualism the roach did the only thing it knew how to do: catatonia.

For the sake of speeding up the other two kicking the roach until it's dead:

While the bug stands where it is, Ary will just stand vigil amidst the others, in order to ensure if it does fly out, it doesn't wind up in the middle of all the mages again. :P

So... Hold action, for now, and that changes if the beetle leaves where it is.

Gotta call it a night. If for some reason the fight drags on another round, doing the same thing. Here's a roll:

Also, only K. Arcana for Markus/Aravashnial chatting, or would spellcraft work as well?

spellcraft is fine :)

Should another battle break out:

Ok, now really off to sleep :P

I'm also gonna head off to sleep. I feel secure in doing so and not needing to roll anything just now... I'll likely be up in under eight hours again, anyway. Sweet dreams, all :p

Interestingly, none of you picked up Knowledge Planes.

Something to think about when you level :)

The one skill pertinent to hunting demons, and none of our crusaders took it? ;P

Wow. Can't believe we didn't think of that.

Ary can make checks about evil outsiders. So she's good on killing 'em ;)

But it shouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to assume knowing about the planes in general is good for this campaign :P

That is a bit surprising, although we don't have an int-based caster or a bard. Those would usually be the ones picking it up.

Worst case Li'an could pick it up at 4th level by taking a bonus to Int instead of Dex. Just point her at a library and she can start studying :p

Edit: In a magical world where feats grew on trees, Li'an would totally have taken Breadth of Experience for the untrained knowledge checks at +2.

I wouldn't mind that world. Then I could VMC into bard without being bad at fighting.

Oh, I planned to pick it up. I just couldn't afford everything, so 'learning on the job' seemed more apt. Plus, like you said, she already has the ability to do it 'kind of' without the points. :) I'd also like to be able to jump, but that wasn't something I could afford, either ;)

Edit: Also, thanks to Markus, it's gonna be a class skill, now :p

It's not a class skill for Markus - If I ever prestige into something that has it, that's the only time I'd be taking it.

Added the Loot List doc to the campaign tab, to help you guys track your goodies as a group.

Terendelev's Scales are all up on there, also, in case you forgot to write them down on your character sheet somewhere :p

Hm. Should I roll Lore (menhir) before saying anything more specific about the ley lines in the future? Mostly going off the archetype description for now, but I don't want to sound like I'm making stuff up as I go along. :P

Nope, you're good :P

If we were to consider taking the extra traits feat would you want us to RP that out before or how would you want to handle that?

I'd want you to either take a trait that already fits with your history, or to take a trait that is reflective of your experiences in the game thus far.

Actually, would it be too late to VMC into Bard? I think I might have a build that I can make work with less feats. Hopefully.

If anyone sees something obviously a bad idea with this, please mention it. VMC in Bard seems to fit Valaria really well, so I'm trying to see if I could make it work.

Edit: Think it's fixed now. Iffy feats or feats I'm not sure what level I'd take them at are marked now too.

It would make you an amateur story teller as advertised ;)

I'm not seeing point blank or precise shot from normal feats. And I think point blank is a prereq for a few of the things you're taking. :(

I'm fine with it. Let me know when you've arrived at a final decision :]

Shame monk is a crappy pick for VMC. That 3rd level "class feature" is a joke. Wisdom to AC would be helpful for getting rid of this encumbrance. :P

Whoops. Edited out an important feat when I was reordering things. *blush*

Got Point-Blank back in there using a mythic feat to get a mundane bonus feat. May just drop Snap Shot and Improved Snap Shot and move Two-weapon Rend down a bit. That would get me some things earlier.

I say go for it!

Speaking of the build, do you need Double Slice and Two-Weapon Rend? Do they affect thrown weapons, or just picking them up for when in melee?

Ehren: Yeah, the monk VMC is definitely one of the really weak ones. Give up armor and get nothing in return until level 15 or so. By RAW, you can't even use it to get monk unarmed damage scaling while wearing armor, as it says you lose all the features if you wear any.

Maybe a Kensai Magus could put it to use. You don't care about armor, and you'd pick up Evasion and Improved Evasion, along with Ki pool which you could combine with your Arcane pool via the corresponding magus arcana.

Monk would be good if not for the caveat of 'can't wear armor at all'. If you could wear light armor and get all of those benefits, I can think of several reasons to go that route (not least of which being domain strike with benefits). Also... evasion. <3

Don't effect throwing as far as I know. I'm mainly getting them for when I'm in melee. I have them marked as iffy because I'm not sure if I really want them or not.

Actually, that leads to a question. I'm fully expecting a no on this, but does Mythic Weapon Finesse work on throwing weapons or is it melee only?

And yeah, I'm gonna do this I think. I like the idea too much not to.

Ary's actions will depend on Horgus a bit. If he doesn't heed what she says...
Bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 :|
"Does anyone else hear more giant cockroaches?"
She'll say as she moves forward, leaving a space for Horgus to remain safe.

Likewise, if Aravashnial is left behind, she'll help him along once more.

She'll leave space between herself and the snakes to guard their flank once more. And be a very sad Ranger of Iomedae. :P

Gonna say weapon finesse is melee only.

Okie dokie. Update your char sheet :>

Figured as much, but I had to ask. Still a great feat though.

Already done :) Not much to add other than the new class label until 3rd level anyway.

I just wanna let you know that summon monster has a 1 round casting time, which means he doesn't get to move (except for a 5-ft-step) and the spell only finishes at the beginning of his next turn.

I'd love it if it wasn't true this time, but I felt compelled to remind you of the rules.

My bad, moved him back :)

Still waiting on your turn though, unless you're passing

Tis the season to be busy.

My job picks up when school is out. I'm going to be a bit more busy for a while. This won't really affect whether or not I -do- post in threads, just the speed at which I do. Some days, I won't be able to really get posts in at work, other days it won't be very bad. Today is likely to be one of those days where I'll either post around noon, or not at all until I'm home.

I should still be highly responsive, just not nearly as responsive as you may be used to. :)

If it looks like Ary will be holding up action today, then hold her action instead. Most probably, unless we're attacked from the rear, it's safe to assume that Ary will simply play rearguard... and then mess with Horgus's ego a bit, via more compliment sandwiches. :P

See everyone soon.

I'll hold my action this turn. If someone wants Markus to do something, they should call for it.

Working late today, then pretty much heading straight to RP. If anyone needs anything at all (especially the NPCs), Ary will help out. If anyone rolls in anything she's trained in, she'll attempt to aid them in it, as well... if she's able. As we near the end of the day, there are 49 dogs and 5 cats to take care of.

There will be two more cats and 21 more dogs at the end of tomorrow. :P

End of the school year and memorial day weekend have aligned to create a wall of fur and flesh. XD

Haha, have fun, hope it doesnt stink too bad ;)

...

the bajillion cats and dogs, not the RP :p

My first thought is I wonder what a wet wall of fur and flesh smells like... hmm

If it smells anything like wet dog... ugh.

Markus is gonna pass his turn again. Ary and Hrut can deal.

Home. And exhausted. It mostly doesn't smell... we work really hard on that, though it can. I've become very desensitized since I've worked there for 8 years. It can get pretty smelly, though. Whenever it rains, they all go a little nuts in whatever fashion they so choose.

Left thumb nommed on by a dog. So... afternoon post will likely be delayed as I travel to a clinic after my shift (we're too busy for me to feel right leaving my coworker hanging.)

D'oh, hope it's not too bad!

It's not. Deep, but only one tooth went in, the other grazed. The dog twisted, though.

The best parts are the ironies:

They were supposed to pick up yesterday, but called, and I told them this morning would be fine.

They picked up literally five minutes after the bite happened.
