Gotcha, and yes it would be dead.
To elaborate on the answer to your previous question - you can't see the source of the effects, but no one has tried any detection yet.
we might not have any available
Dangit! Wrong thread...needed more coffee
We did have a scroll of detect undead, which I don't think we've used (although I could be wrong). I'm not sure how the party haul is divvied up though.
Sub - just confirming - Leeoli is moving to the large stirge to the north, then preparing to parry and riposte?
I was stupid. I thought Leeoli could move all the way up and attack the big stirge. I didn't count the squares. So I give up an aoo to the small stirge, and was trying to parry and riposte that.
Once I moved up, I realize the big stire is going to attack me. Since I've panache left, I can parry and riposte that attack (well I can riposte if I didn't riposte against the small stirge, but I can attempt to parry both, from my understanding).
Ah, I see...in theory, you'd have gotten an AOO yourself due to your extended reach as you threaten 10' away. However, it's around the corner, so I don't think that would make sense at all.
Do you have anything that gives you an extra AOO in a round? You'll need 2 for 2 parry's, I think
yes I have a feat that gives Leeoli (and Campus for that matter) bonus aoo equal to dex bonus...so he gets 4 per round.
Combat Reflexes (Combat)
You can make additional attacks of opportunity.
Benefit: You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Normal: A character without this feat can make only one attack of opportunity per round and can’t make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Special: The Combat Reflexes feat does not allow a rogue to use her opportunist ability more than once per round.
Gotcha, sorry just didn't see that when I skimmed through. That's crazy powerful with the parry ability
Not to be a pain, but I wanted to remind you that Leeoli ingested an extract of shielding at the beginning of the fight that lasts three minutes. This extract temporarily boosted his AC to 21. I'm not actually sure how much time passed though so it might not be in effect anymore
Shield: Duration 1 min./level (D)
Description: Shield creates an invisible shield of force that hovers in front of you.
It negates magic missile attacks directed at you. The disk also
provides a +4 shield bonus to AC. This bonus applies against incorporeal touch attacks,
since it is a force effect. The shield has no armor check penalty or arcane
spell failure chance.
No, not a pain at all, sorry I missed it. I was using the AC in your signature. That is not a hit then, please disregard the monkey on your back.
I think Vrilli has already acted this round.
yup, right - thanks Vrilli
Thankfully, the shaken effects are not cumulative - so it basically just means that you don't recover from it and continue with the -2.
You guys have lucked out with the will saves so far
GM: how does one go about trying to remove Stirges? Is it possible to attack an attached stirge without maiming the person underneath?
It is, yes...in fact, their AC is 12 when attached. Could be a "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." Otherwise, you can win a grapple with it to throw it off
Zazaria, Vrilli, and Anyi are all up
GM: am I able to spell combat while attempting to grapple a stirge off my back? I was going to try grappling one stirge while acid splashing the other. Is that feasible?
Sorry Vrilli, I don't think that would work. By definition, you have to have one hand free and a light or 1-handed melee weapon in the other. You could, however, use the acid splash on one while striking at another. You'll need a concentration check in order to cast, since you're grappled, distracted, and having blood sucked from you.
You and Zazaria are up, as well as Anyi.
I'm not sure how long the shaken condition lasts. Will you let us know when it does? Or is it long enough for the whole fight?
It will last the duration of the fight at this point. The rules in the AP are pretty sketchy, they make you keep rolling even though you'd be shaken if you failed before anyway. I think everyone has failed one, so we can omit those rolls from here on.
Leeoli, Zazaria, Vrilli can all act.
There's still the giant stirge and a single stirge.
Yup, Vrilli, CMB works to break the hold, or escape artist if you have it
Cool. Do I get to try slashing it in the same round? Or does that use my action for the round?
Grapple is a standard action, so you could move, but not attack.
Rufus, though they may explain it in game, check the party treasure spoiler under the campaign info tab to see what a haunt siphon is.
Rufus's player knows, just a little rp setup for when he sees it in action!
Gotcha:) Didn't know if you had read up on it before. Good RPing, that
Guys - I'll be on the road from this afternoon through Wednesday evening. I'll be checking in, but posting will be on my phone, so a bit limited.
On that matter, I will be camping from the 11th thru 17th. You know me, I find ways to post..but wifi is spotty there, so it may be only when I get to the top of a hill. :)
Hi All, I was just trying to figure out who actually has/had the haunt siphons. I couldn't figure out from previous posts who picked them up.
Actually, I don't think we ever decided who was carrying what. We should do that next time.
Sorry GM Nayr.
I think they were found before Vrilli joined. I know Vrilli used one or two, but we laid them out at some point. I had kind of assumed that Z being a more priestly less fighty type would be most likely to carry them. Not sure what Z thinks though. ..
Hehe, I thought it was Anyi!
We can RP it and We don't remember! Everyone look in their bags! and take the aoos.
Ha! That would be fun. I assumed Leeoli, as Leeoli had to give one to Anyi to use
Vrilli is up, and Anyi...I'll probably just have her firing arrows unless someone has something better to suggest.
We all have holy water to throw, if that is better.
Could be, but not sure where she'd throw it; the only targets substantially visible to her are the stirges.
Oh, I misunderstood. I thought the false priest was visible now.
No, you're absolutely right - sorry about that; I had thought I had kept it in a detect spoiler tag. It wasn't supposed to be, in hindsight, so we're good...just my lousy memory striking again.
Anyi will give Rufus a nice holy water bath.
Anyi will give Rufus a nice holy water bath.
Hurray!
Never know you need one until a woman makes you have it...
oh wow.
Is it our impression that the false priest was vanquished (at least temporarily)?
That is how it seems, indeed
Just a heads up for everyone. We are moving out of our home this week, then staying with friends for over a week while we wait for the closing on our new home, then moving into that. If my posting becomes spotty in the next few weeks, I hope you'll understand why :). Please bot me as needed.
Got it Rufus, good luck with everything!
Wow, what a cool fight that was! Confusing, creepy, and tense. Good job everyone.
GM: if we were to try to break up the captive skeletons by shooting them through the bars of their cells (or by using disrupt undead) would we need to roll the whole combat, or would you assume we are eventually able to do it?
