It would be two, as the Acrobatics check would require its own separate action. However, if you wanted to try landing on a guard as part of a charge attack, I would be willing to let you add the falling damage to the damage done if you hit. This damage would not be doubled on a critical hit, and you would take the same amount.
Everyone doing ok, I haven't posted as I'm waiting on combat. But if we need some movement in the gameplay I could post
I was waiting to see if Balam wanted to charge an enemy, since he's close enough. I'll give him until tomorrow morning, since he posts from Hawaii time.
Oooooh I didn’t know o was close enough. I’ll post when I get home
The GM probably has more info for us, but here's his description from the roof:
You can see the prison is centered in the grounds, surrounded by a curtain wall with 6 towers - five small and round, the other large and more square - clearly the tower the guard was talking about, where Warden Richter keeps his rooms. At the front of the wall you see the gatehouse for the castle. Torches on the top illuminate the shape of two guards keeping watch, one facing out towards the causeway, the other looking in on the keep. The closest looks to be nearly 200 feet away, and this is the dark time of night.
We're on the curtain wall now. According to the guard our characters tortured, the outer walls are surrounded by rough water and jagged rocks--there's no safe exit except a causeway past the gatehouse.
Due to an incredibly busy weekend filled with a Christmas celebration, two birthday parties, and many hospital visits, I will be unable to post from December the 16th through till December the 18th. My posting should resume as normal on Tuesday the 19th. Apologies if this slows down the game. Feel free to bot me as needed.
Thanks for understanding, and have a great weekend, guys.
GM Note: She is not proficient with any of the guard's gear except for the club. Wearing the guard's attire gives Jezabel a -4 check penalty on all physical skills and on all of her attack rolls. Also, she's out of spells for the day, so throwing clubs at people and unarmed strikes in melee are her only viable attack options. Thanks!
Is now a good time to touch base OOC about how everyone's enjoying the game?
I'm having a great time. I'm a little concerned, though, because I'm playing Geborah as a driving personality, and I don't want that to get in anyone else's way of a good time. I like coming up with plans, but if other folks feel squeezed out of making decisions, let me know and I'll back off some.
I'm enjoying it immensely. I have no problem with the way Geb is being played. With my own knowledge of the game I'm trying not to Metagame any while trying to be as evil a necromancer I can be.
i'm having fun. Balam's a bit of a grouch (and, he's a bit chagrined at a 14 year old being so wise). But, he IS a follower at heart (he just wants to lead people as he follows). So, all is good!
Also, it really helps that the plans are working! :-p
j/k
Normally, I'm so far off time-wise that i never get to have a voice in the plans, so it's cool that there are plans and then discussion and then Balam just obeys anyways.
Hey, guys! Happy to be back!

In response to Geborah: I'm having a good time. Jezabel's prone to pointing out things that she considers absurd, and singing insults at others (she didn't start it, the voices did...). But she's not a planner. The extend of her plans typically include who to murder, how to murder them, stalking her victim, and then an escape route with them back to her home. Also, how she'll cook them, obviously. She doesn't actually like planning. She hears too many conflicting opinions from the le-lines, so she typically acts impulsively whenever she and a voice decide it'll be fun. In short: she's fine with you making plans, but she'll stick mock you for them and pick them apart with a smile and laugh. Life's just fun that way.

Also, advanced warning:
I'll be unavailable to post from December 22nd through to December 26th due to the holidays. I might be able to fit in a post here or there during that time, but I'm not sure. Holidays are busy around here. Posting should resume as normal by the 27th (or the 28th at the latest).
If it gets too crazy around here to mention it later this week, Happy Holidays to those of you who celebrate something! And have a great few days to those of you who don't!
sick, please bot as needed.
I'm running away to Japan on the 27th. I'll be back on the 4th. Please bot me as needed. I figure with the holidays and all I shouldn't be TOO missed.
Asmodeus bless us, every one!
WOAH!!!!! I'm a firm believer in Krampus, on this day of bless.
Traveling for New Year's weekend starting tomorrow - updates to resume on January 2nd.
So wheres our updates, I'm ansy to get out of this prison after dealing with the guards, and blackerly, and some of my cell mates I mean people who put me here... yes thats right
The updates are coming as soon as I get them typed up - I'll bot Tatienne for now.
Related, I have not heard from FireSkorn in almost a month. At this point, I'm going to assume he is no longer interested in continuing the campaign, and will be contacting another applicant about replacing him.
I'll put up that we need, sneaky rogue type skills... anyone else have replacement suggestions?
Already thought of that - I have a few names to message.
OK, I'm back - apologies. I got laid out with the flue, then my wife and baby followed. Baby is still sick and taking a lot of time and energy, but I'm back at work, so I'm going to steal some time here and there for my games. Thanks for the botting!

No problem. Glad you're back.
It seems the GM has seen fit to invite me. Hello, all!
GM: Is it okay if I change Dante's free VMC to barbarian?
Hello, Dante! Welcome!
Yes welcome, fair warning Jezabel bites!
Hard.
I'll just be careful to not almost die, then.
Welcome!
Have you guys settled on a way to bring you in, or can we make suggestions?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yes, Dante, it's fine to change the VMC to Barbarian. Please keep in mind that I'm pretty sure raging precludes the ability to use Psychic spells with emotion components.
Geborah, right now I'm looking at having him be another prisoner who is just arriving at the entrance to Branderscar on the mainland. I'm willing to listen to suggestions, however. Unless you go back to the Great Hall, there aren't many places left to introduce him through in Branderscar.
I'm aware of that :) I just feel that for a more well-rounded character, a bit more combat prowess a bit earlier would be appreciated.
Well another option is to have him Gibbeted somewhere along the entrance and we havent seen him yet.
A good idea, but Branderscar isn't public enough for him to be displayed as an example, as gibbeting's purpose was mainly for.
Plus, they didn't gibbet the Blasphemer, so I don't think they'd do that for the Heretic.
Makes perfect sense, GM.
Welcome, Dante/leinathan! I'm looking forward to playing with you.
GM, I think your idea of introduction is just fine. I got nothing better.
Any idea when I'm gonna be introduced?
Soon - once this combat is done, I'll have you brought up to the gate house.
Sorry we're taking so long, Dante--I guess we could have chickened out of attacking the poker game and headed straight down the causeway to bring you in quicker. It's just hard to justify given our roleplay so far...
I want blackerly's skull for an animated jester so I can torture his soul!!!!
...you see?
Hey you haven't seen my new evil plan, check the gameplay
Hahahaha, I love it.
I have no problem with you trying your plan.
i think it could be fun
I wish you luck :) Don't die before freeing me!
Also, I hope it's not a problem that Dante is non-evil.
Probably won't be - although whether he can keep that non-evil alignment remains to be seen....
*maniacal laugh...maniacal laugh...*
*maniacal laughter*
Now I should probably invest in bluff so I can try to do it again some time.
By the way, here are the numbers on the d20 for rolls I made during the fight: 16, 18, 16, 14, 17, 18, 18, 17, 7, 16, 18, 19, 13.
Wraith's ruse kept you guys from getting slammed. You owe him a big thank you.
I forgot about the Hideous Laughter scroll! Good use of it. I wish I had thought to combo it with Ill Omen.
Normally I think I would have Geborah push for punishing the prison populace further, but if it will help us meet up with Dante sooner, I'm fine with us leaving now.
I've been thinking about adding more detail to my Paizo messageboard profile, so I totally stalked all of you, to see what kinds of things other folks put in.
Did anyone know that Jezabel started a RPG blog, like, a month ago? It looks like she's put an amazing amount of work into it, too. I liked the entry on Iron Gods, an adventure path I've always wanted to try, because the setting just seems so metal. Jezabel, if you ever have time, check out the video game Brütal Legend...it might give you some fun ideas.
Did anyone know Dante has maintained an RPG tumblr for, like, five years? That's a loooot of tumblr. What's a good entry point, Dante?
In one of my other games, we created a discord chat room for both discussions and just shooting the s%*$.
