I have moved the rest of you in what I think is your preferred marching order...Rykaar, you may retcon your previous action, from the point where you are now at, if you wish...Rykaar and UlSkadi are up...

![]() |

To move things along, I'll bot UlSkadi early tomorrow afternoon if she hasn't posted by then...

![]() |

You're right Cerryl, reach or ranged...
Lovissa, just noticed that you're Ayla in Frozen Fingers of Midnight...I'm Egg...

![]() |

Haha. I knew from the start, actually! I swear, I have characters who are NOT loud and absurd. You just haven't met them yet.

![]() |

No worries, you role play well and she's a very interesting character...Egg is one of my few quiet characters...been wanting to play Frozen Fingers for a long while and jumped when I saw it advertised, got the last spot...

![]() |

Thanks. I like my characters to all be very different from each other, so I've got a bit of everything going on.

Grey does not have his hammer out yet, took a move action to drop the shield :( Zero base attack bonus is hard. Just clarification.

![]() |

My bad, I forgot that dropping a shield is not a free action, like dropping a weapon is...

![]() |

It's been a week now since UlSkadi has posted and she hasn't replied to my PMs...I hope she's OK but I stop botting anyone if a week's gone by and I haven't heard from them...as for now, I'll leave her at a spot where she can join back in if she is able to, but she'll be effectively out of the scenario until then. The five of you remaining should still be able to complete the mission effectively...unless of course the dice completely go berserk...
Just wanted to give y'all a head's up...

Welcome back Rei
Also, assuming the detect magic I cast back in the spider's lair didn't reveal anything. Just wanting to make sure that the casting wasn't missed in the post.

![]() |

I know and thankfully doesnt affect spell damage though will probably be throwing out force missiles instead of rays to not have the -2 to attack

![]() |

did my missiles get missed in round one?

![]() |

Rei, you can can roll your missile damage yourself by adding this dice roll to your post:
[*dice=magic missile]1d4+1[/dice*]
Just remove the * from the above.

![]() |

:P i knew i forgot a step there.

![]() |

Sorry UlSkadi, actually, I didn't see your post...I was writing up the other attacks and I think you posted while I was doing that...since my post took the thread to a new page, I never saw yours until you mentioned it here...
I've since updated my last post with your bolt attack...

1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Grey will let one of you take the lead on this, Grey plans to put this over eager puppy in its place. Let it know that running the strangers tail wagging is inappropriate behavior... But he is not that hot at at handle animal, even after the racial bonus...

![]() |

Lovissa plans to mount it's head on her wall. Right next to the minotaur's.

![]() |

I love playing druids. Rykaar however is not one and has 0 skills / abilities to engage with the lizard.
Will try an untrained Handle Animal... and probably get shocked!

I'm absent until late tonight, feel free to bot me.

![]() |

I feel like I'm slowing down play waiting to post but if that Trog dies, and the other one gets stunned it changes the battlefield a lot :(

![]() |

No worries.

I wonder how higher level play by post games go, ones where you really need to double down on tactics and coordination to survive.
Anyone how if the big one gets dazed, I'm thinking about trying to bull rush it further into the room so that we can pile in past that bottle neck.
If it is not dazed I might use charming presence (sanctuary) on Todd to make it easier to acrobatics into flanking.
This is all assuming the the black one died from your two hits. I havent been counting damage to try to figure out how many HP the trogs have.

![]() |

The bull rush idea sounds like a great idea. Getting Todd to flank would also work, but still like the bull rush more.

![]() |

So I looked through the past posts, the trogs have less than 15 HP, you two probably did 14 damage to that black one. So don't even know if it is done for yet.

![]() |

think bigger question is if the 14 is a hit or a miss cause think that would be right around the cut off point. Also think Otha will probably post again tonight or tomorrow as far as the dazed aspect

![]() |

Sadly I am starting to get confused on these boards the replay a scenario is per character not per player right?
Very good question Cerryl. I have the same concern, and reading some of the posts I get the feeling some scenarios limit the PLAYER not just the character. Maybe I am wrong... Hope I am.

Sorry, I'll be posting this evening...had a 24-hour bug and was pretty out of it till late this morning...

![]() |

Typically, a PLAYER can only play a scenario once. A CHARACTER can never play the same scenario twice.
There exceptions that allow a PLAYER to repeat a scenario. The Confirmation, The Consortium Compact and Master of the Fallen Fortress are all exceptions. These scenarios can be played any number of times by PLAYER with a level 1 character but only once with a level 2 character. All these exception scenarios are called 'evergreen' scenarios.
There are a few more exception scenarios, evergreens, like the Wounded Wisp, First Steps, and a many level one modules (even From the Tome of Righteous Repose, a 3-7 evergreen). There are also limited boons and rewards that allow a PLAYER to replay typical scenarios which normally can not be replayed (with a different character).
These 'evergreen' scenarios tend to be new player friendly, and I assume that is why Otha choose to run a trilogy of them for this new to pbp group.

Take your time and recover!

![]() |

Makes sense but now have to make sure I make fewer characters to carry through and need to figure out exactly where a list of evergreen scenarios and one other question if you pick up half-way through a scenario does that count towards your 1 attempt or is that an exception there

![]() |

Also, making a change to Cerryl now due to finding a rule that I missed. It would not have impacted anything from the last mission but will impact the saving throw for this combat. The generation website still showed Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat but was supposed to replace that with a spell focus (which in this case would be Evocation) and changing the DC for that last spell to 16 I believe.

Sorry for the caps, wanted to be clear but it looks like a lot of yelling.

#3-0 First Steps, Part I: In Service to Lore (1)
#5-08 The Confirmation (1-2)#6-10 The Wounded Wisp (1-2)
#7-10 The Consortium Compact (1-2)
#8-16 House of Harmonious Wisdom (1-5)
#8-07 From the Tome of Righteous Repose (3-7)
And most level 1 'modules' will be evergreen. What 'modules' are is a another conversation.
I'm on character #16, others are much further along. I'm sure you'll be fine, just play your experienced characters too some of the time.
Joining half way into a scenario counts as your one play through. I had a character die in the first fight, in the first room of a scenario. I ended up using a replay boon to try again a year later.

That kinda stinks picked up on a Silverhex playthrough about half way so guess will have to cross that off unless I get the replay boon but if that is for GMs doubt I will obtain one of those. Enjoy playing but don't think I would be up for GMing anything for a while.

![]() |

Silverhex is called a 'quest', as opposed to a 'scenario' or 'module'. Quests are largely broken into small parts that can be completed piece-meal (but I'm not sure if you can go back and finish parts you missed after playing other scenarios, I don't think so).
As far as I know, all the quests are 'evergreen'. I know that Silverhex is. These are the quests I know of.
Ambush in Absalom
The Silverhex Chronicles
Fane of Fangs
Phantom Phenomena
Honor's Echo

Hey guys, just letting you know I've had a family emergency come up, and unexpected house guests. I will be unable to post Saturday. Hopefully, I should be able to post late Sunday night and again late Monday night. I will be able to post regularly by Tuesday. Sorry for holding up the game, and feel free to bot me as needed.
Thank you for your patience.
