You'll need to make either Profession (sailor), Knowledge (Geography), or Survival to determine that.
Everyone should add 10 gp, 4 sp to their characters as their share of the loose coin from the patrol.
GM, I calculate the sale value of the weapons and armor taken to be 351 gold. Could these arms taken in battle from enemies of the faith be sacrificed as material components in a cleric spell that simply specifies "magical reagents" of a certain value? Specifically, could Geborah make them into a burnt offering to power a Masterwork Transformation spell on Balam's longsword? It seems very appropriate for an aspiring Death Knight's weapon.
Just letting you know I’m currently suffering from an intense bout of vertigo. I’ll try my best, but I might not manage to keep up with posting over the next few days. Sorry for any potential hold up. And thanks for understanding.
If I need to be botted you're welcome to use my spells, or my wand of cure light wounds, which has 13 charges, as needed.
No. For starters, you're on a boat and Captain Odenkirk won't allow that large of a fire on his boat. Second, I believe Balam already has a masterwork longsword - if he didn't, he could take Captain Sambryl's. Third, while I like the flavor, none of these, except Captain Sambryl, could be considered particularly noteworthy - and even Sambryl isn't that special. Asmodeus isn't the god of battle - he's the Lord of Hell. If he's going to have something sacrificed to him, it shouldn't be the weapons of some insignificant peons. It should be, say, an important champion of good, or a holy artifact.
Now, a deity like Gorum? Using the weapons of your slain foes would work for him. Asmoedus, not so much.
Good luck with the vertigo, Jezebel!
I've updated my character sheet for the breastplate and gp/sp.
hey. im back.
sorry about my absence. I've been hating life for... awhile. But, I'm back now. So yay.
Slow week. Is there more we can do to keep this game going?
Poke a bear?
Sorry, I just wanted to make sure loot distribution was taken care of. I'll get everyone moved along today. What weapons does Timeon have now?
The Mitran captain's masterwork longsword, and a bow/arrows/dagger set from one of the Mitran sailors.
Okay. Any shield?
Oh, thanks for asking. Let's give him the dead captain's heavy steel shield.
Okay. Timeon's stat block is updated. He's a bit more effective, now that he's got his favored weapon.
I assume that our party members get no attacks of opportunity on the bull rushing water elementals because they have Powerful Maneuvers?
Are the tritons with crossbows completely underwater, or are their torsos out as if they were treading water?
That is correct. Their torsos are out as if they were treading water.
I'm delaying further resolution until Monday, since no one could post the past couple days. Could everyone who's still here sound off?
Here! I'll get a post up this weekend.
Here.
Here!
Okay, due to the site instability, I'm going to hold off on further updates until Monday. Since it is a holiday weekend in the US, I may not update until Tuesday.
Understandable--though I feel like we should post super fast before the boards go down again. :) WRAITH QUICK GET YOUR ACTION IN!
Sorry I just checked back in today... Will get on it if I haven't been bot
Not yet, I was about to, but since you checked in, I'll give you the chance to post.
Sorry last minute work trip... Bot me.. I was planning on using the sleep scroll and having my skeleton attack the elemental
Okay, I have confirmation that RL has forced Balam to have to stop gaming on the boards. I'll continue botting him until such time as I can easily remove him from the story - or his character dies, one of the two.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
I will be going on vacation out of the country starting tomorrow evening for a week and a half. While I will have my phone and Wi-Fi access, I will not have a computer, nor will I likely have computer access. Therefore, while I will endeavor to get one last post in before I leave tomorrow, the game will be going on hiatus as of 4 PM EST tomorrow, Wednesday September 12, until Saturday, September 22. Or possibly the day after, depending on how jet-lagged I feel.
I was hoping to wrap this fight up before I left, but the site issues put the kibosh on that.
Have fun on vacation, GM! I hope you're going someplace fun!
Have fun!
Yeah it did.. Have fun on your trip...
Edit: Just saw it was my turn... Im a couple hours from town on my way back from my work callout... Will post as soon as I'm home. Maybe we'll get one last post from Phtm after that.... Maybe
If you get it done before either the end of the day or tomorrow, you just might.
Have a great vacation!
I'm not pleased to lose Balam...buuuuut, he was our slowest poster by a significant margin. Perhaps our adventure will kick into the next gear when Phntm888 gets back.
Work is giving me a kicking at the moment. I should be better by the time the GM is back, but bot me as needed.
I'm back. I'll bot you if needed, Tatienne.
Perhaps our adventure will kick into the next gear when Phntm888 gets back.
Or maybe not.
I was waiting for Wraith to post - he hasn't, though, so I'm going to bot him.
Was busy with work and only noticed the post last night before bed... No worries with the botting
Hello everyone. This weekend is Thanksgiving so I will very likely be unable to fit in a post. Please bot me if needed. I’ll be back to regular posting on Tuesday. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you have a great weekend!
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
I will get us updated tomorrow.
I'm back! Thanks!
My local Canadian friends treated me to Thanksgiving dinner this weekend, and I treated them back to Indigenous People's Day brunch. Total overeating weekend.
Yum! (And now I'm craving some fresh baked bannock). Haha.
Once this combat is over, we'll be changing some things up with how we're doing combat.
Sorry I've been checking in the last few days and the site kept coming up with the server maintenance screen. Was just able to see something today... Thanks for the necessary botting.
Yeah... I'm still dealing with Thanksgiving leftovers...FOOD COMA nothing better in life.....
Can we hear about some of the combat changes early?
Yes. It's not so much how we're doing combat as it is how much work I'm doing.
Basically, since Balam has had to step away from the boards, he's now counting as an allied NPC, in a similar vein to Timeon and Grumblejack. Since they are allied NPCs with moderate degrees of actual loyalty to you, I don't need to worry so much about keeping their stats secret from you - Balam especially. So, I'm going to ask you guys to take over running them in combat, so I'm not making the rolls for 2/3 of the combatants in any given fight. This fight and the last one have both felt like a huge slog for me, personally, and I think this will help keep me from burning out on the game and maybe help combat move faster.
I am also scaling back some of the 6-player conversions I made (and have done so for both this fight and the previous one) since you are down to 5 (technically 4 now) active PCs.
Sick!
I hope to get caught up today, but I may just nap.
24-hour notice for Wraith to take his action before being botted.
kk... I'll see what can be done in the 18.5 hours I got left
This combat just got a lot easier for me now that the elementals and tritons are all down.
Taty's remaining hp thanks The First!
