GM Kiora's Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Kiora Atua

Dammit. Somehow I knew that would happen.

I'd love a reaction post to see Markus' perspective ;D

Did you forget to cast defensively? To be honest it comes up so rarely in the games I've played that I might have forgotten myself.

A

Ranged Touch Spells in Combat: Some spells allow you to make a ranged touch attack as part of the casting of the spell. These attacks are made as part of the spell and do not require a separate action. Ranged touch attacks provoke an attack of opportunity, even if the spell that causes the attacks was cast defensively. Unless otherwise noted, ranged touch attacks cannot be held until a later turn

Ohhh, right. Makes perfect sense, now that I actually stop to think about it.

Part of me is curious how holy holy water left in a desecrated shrine for centuries next to a couple of blasphemous undead is...

But the other part of me is more interested in aiding Ehren on his to stabilize, if the first fails.

Why isn't Anevia dealing sneak attack damage? Undead are vulnerable to it, aren't they? And she's a rogue?

Haha, I forgot she was a rogue. Thanks for the heads up.

I know it's a bit of metagaming - I have access to her statblock and have run this game a bit. Glad I wasn't wrong.

No, I appreciate it, :p 6 PCs +3 NPCs is a lot to keep up with, I can't do it perfectly.

Part of me was like 'She knows what she's doing...' and part of me was like 'don't point it out, he could really die...' and another part of me was like 'roleplay it. He might have been doing the right thing, and she's just wrong.'

Another metagame thing - wands function at the minimum possible caster level. False life is CL 3rd.

There are things that can change that. Like, you can intentionally cast a higher level version into the wand; it's just money-inefficient. :) Some wizards are also more capable of utilizing wands and staves. :)

Alrighty, thanks for that. Markus should get 11 temp HP then :)

I'm gonna need to head to bed for the night. Assume when something tries to kill us, Ary protects the misfits. :)

You can also assume that in the event of noncombat, Ary will not only comply, but be as helpful as she can be... as she one more overcompensates. :p For real goodnight. :)

Just in case you missed it Markus, the spoilered text dependent on the knowledge(local) was Li'an talking to Markus.

I did miss it! Lemme go read that and respond.

Well if we get the DC high enough for the cleaning Hrut will participate in anyway possible to rededicate the temple. As for us moving on I am fine with being in the front group, seemed to work well, off to bed yay!

Post delayed again by... the day.

I think I'd have opted to clean the temple either way. I wouldn't have thought about a ton of prayers though. :)

One of my other characters would have been perfect for this particular scene, being a forgepriest of Torag. It's a shame the DM didn't love me. Less a shame since I got into this group, instead. :)

Bleh - posted in wrong tab.

Thats what I get trying to post inbetween stuff at work >_>

Forgot grazed again in the 'wood' roll, but I just missed the edit window. I'd actually have failed, if not for the lady elf. :)

Edit: Also... this is my first loot-happy character in a -long- time. I usually feel weird trying to loot things... but combine stolen lands, farmer, and Iomedae... And greediness suddenly becomes pragmatism.

Could help to add the condition to your header (grazed/wounded/critical) :)

Also, updated the loot list. :P not a bunch of loot there...but still.

I like having the descriptions on there pertaining to where stuff came from. Gives your inventory a story ;D

Mmhmm. And will come in handy the longer this goes, for remembering where things came from.

I think you forgot me as wounded also, down 7 to 8/15.

Off to bed, I will take whatever watch I am deemed worthy of, also should I be needed for combat just Flurry Strike something for me with the battleaxe and shield, thanks.

Have we discussed retraining and I missed it in a previous post? I may want to retain my weapon adaptation to hammers if I can, may make it a legendary weapon with the mythic stuff, seems flavorful.

I am flexible about retraining, but only when you level up. Otherwise - at a cost of time.using ultimate campaign retraining rules.

Just to double check, is the information in the Player's Guide considered common knowledge? It's supposedly considered spoiler-free, so I was about to have Ehren mention something that I figure he'd know, but I don't want him to mention anything he shouldn't.

Yep, it is :)

Wiki stuff...not so much. But I trust you guys to figure out what your character should know. Li'an, for example, is as old as the Worldwound is :P So I'd be fine with her knowing a little more about the particulars of past events even without making a skill check.

The information I know about wardstones out of character, I can't remember what is in character. How much of this would Ary know? I'm guessing roughly none, and the middle part is probably something she's not thought about. :)

So for the feat I want to retrain to I already have I just want to change the weapon it is associated with, could I just practice my maneuvers with my warhammer during my watches or do you have something else in mind?

Wardstone Lore

I think that your average crusader would not understand how wardstones work, more so out of a lack of education about how magic works. They'd understand they create a sort of force field/"bug zapper" that keeps weaker demons at bay, but stronger demons can still move over it at great pain to themselves, and that they were put up during the Second Crusade.

I think that a character that is educated in magic would understand that more specifically that they are menhir stones (which are in turn mysterious stonehenge-esque druidic artifacts of unknown purpose) enchanted with powerful divine Forbiddance spells put down by the crusaders of the Second Crusade. An educated character would understand that the true value of the wardstones is not in the forcefield effect against weak demons - but in the fact that the wardstones prevent powerful demons from simply emerging through the rifts, and teleporting across the border into Golarion: evil outsiders cannot teleport into, or out of, the Worldwound.

I think the stuff about the recharge ritual would be kept secret, only known to high ranking crusaders.

So for the feat I want to retrain to I already have I just want to change the weapon it is associated with, could I just practice my maneuvers with my warhammer during my watches or do you have something else in mind?

It would take 10 days of retraining while on watches, or you can just wait until your next level :P

Alrighty. Good to know. It's important to know what I know in character v. what I learned while researching my background. :) Thanks much.

"Magicky rocks that weaken demons and zap weak-enough demons."

I will do both for RP purposes, assuming it takes 10 days to level 2, I will wait til level 2 regardless.

Which language translator would you use for Celestial GM?

I usually just type random letters into an Arabic keyboard.

If someone here can read arabic, though, that could be distracting for you :p

I -did- in fact look to see how that translated, and was like 'four letters? I wonder what that stands for...' :P

I like using google translate for that. It's nice to have it repeatable so if something gets used again you start to notice a pattern. I used Azerbaijani for the Sylvan curse earlier.

Don't think I've ever considered players actually being able to read the translation though.

Yup, you can run it through... google translate :p It'll even find the answer for you, via detect language! :)

Well yeah, but if you're willing to put it into google translate to get it, you'll just click the box to read what it says. But someone who actually reads that language can't avoid reading it :p

Hm... this is true. See, this is why I talk so much. So I can taste my foot, as I remove it from my mouth. :)

Important, as combat is incoming: The potions are in Ary's belt pouch where they're decently accessible. I updated the loot Document to show where she's carrying them. :)

If the spider's still up, and it gets back to Ary before I post again (and the spider doesn't randomly crit someone into oblivion!), Ary will aid another on an adjacent ally. Most likely Li'an. :) You may want to read the first part of the spoiler, Li'an. :) There's a nested spoiler to make it safe to read without revealing the result!

You know, I don't think I ever realized you could nest spoilers. That's pretty handy. :p

You can't give the second spoiler a title. I didn't know that until a new player joined my oldest table and taught -everyone there- that it was possible! :)

Heading off to work, don't wait up, you know how Ary rolls (high numbers!). :)

My home face to face group is meeting tonight so they'll have my attention. I might be on here and there during breaks but I won't promise anything. Introducing a new player so I'll have to pay more attention to stuff than normal :p

Right now I'm mostly waiting on Hrut to finish the ritual, then you guys will see if you managed to impress Torag ;)
