I know there are all these rules for social stuff in Pathfinder, but I typically find them too intrusive to be useful, unless the bard is trying to talk their way out of every single fight.
I'll have something up this afternoon.
Edison approves of the vaguearies of Aduard's ploy; what you are promising them is a better life. As long as we follow through on ensuring that they receive one, he'll be happy.
Edison 'gets it'. Particularly in cities, he's far more focused on the spirit of the law and of the intent behind actions than he is the exact word of either, if that makes sense.
Getting walloped at work. Hope to be dug out tomorrow.
I think we're waiting on the mongrelmen? We're not waiting on me, are we?
Waiting on me! Apologies
As long as it is not me!
Sorry, just to confirm;
1. Did Aduard use Focussed Spell to Haste the PCs and the Mongrelmen, or just haste the PCs. I'm okay either way.
2. Shouldn't Edison have gotten to use his readied action - though I don't hold out much hope of it hitting - when the axe flashed out? I'm holding off Aduard commenting on it.
3. I think I just got the map, is it right?
* the door opens onto a sheer drop to below.
* the mongrelmen are below (the bottom map)
* the upper left map is ground level, and has precarious walkways between the vats, level with the door.
* there is a ladder from the bottom level to the middle level and then onto the upper level. It is outlined in yellow.
4. It is daylight outside, right?
5. This is an industrial area with not many people around.
Writing a report for a grant we just finished and it is taking a bit longer than anticipated. I may be absent a couple of days as the deadline approaches.
@Aduard:
1. According to your post, the Haste spell affects "Aduard, Arruk (just in range), Esta, Edison and Oolong". Is that wrong?
2. The issue is that he can't target Grine while he's inside the darkness, since he's completely obscured. Why can Grine see out of the darkness? You'll have to find out!
3. That is right, yes.
4. It is daylight outside, right around noon.
5. It's an industrial area that's well away from the population.
Perfect, thanks. That means he can still cast another spell with focussed spell :)
Can I also ask what the roof is made of? Is it possible to tell if it is Deeper Darkness or just Darkness?
I'm thinking of having Aduard try to put a hole in the roof to let in bright daylight, which should raise the illumination enough that Grine can be seen. Will avoid if it seems too difficult though.
Hmm, I would say that the roof is constructed from slate tiles supported by a timber framework.
Would Aduard or Esta like to go next?
Edison has no plan, but will make a move
Sure. Aduard has a tactic but I can't work out how to have him do it, short of wander around outside and climb the walls.
I really need to update Esta's spell list next time we rest lol.
Hey Edison, how would you feel about tossing a small fox towards the wounded party later on if need be? If Esta can't reach whoever needs to be healed, and Oolong can't easily run to them, you could just... underhand toss him towards them?
That's what my post was going to be about until I remembered that I used the healing hex on you before, not Karras, and I'm a little bummed about it. :D

Edison would love few things more than to provide necessary trajectory for Oolong!
I'll have a post up soon all ; just been fried
Hmmm. Aduard still has a move action. If Edison is going to drop the bow, can Aduard hold it? Don't want it getting kicked into the vat, and he can potentially Magic Weapon it for later.
Fine by me!
Does anyone have a clever plan here?
Doc's plan is to keep in melee until he goes down. Jeckyl / Hyde and all that.
Busy holiday weekend here - I'll get a post up tomorrow.
Wracking my brain; I don't have the right gear or spells available to take out the Darkness.
May just try and stand strong and Lay on Hands tank until Grine runs out of axes. As long as I can keep Grine from climbing up and ganging up on Karras, it may be worth it.
Sounds good to me!
Getting walloped at work - hope to be back tomorrow.
Hey guys, I'm so so sorry I've been holding the game up for so long. July was nuts at work, and then I realized that I'd shorted myself several spells for the past level or so, so GM R0B0 and I have been going over everything trying to get it all fixed up.
I'll try not to let it get so out of hand again.
Glad you got your spells fixed up!
Thank you! I feel much more useful now. :D
@GM R0B0GEISHA: The rope would be great, but I believe Radag had it?
@GM R0B0GEISHA: The rope would be great, but I believe Radag had it?
Radag's gone, so we can assume that it's in the party's inventory.
I'm going out of town tomorrow for the next week and posting will likely be intermittent. Please bot as necessary.
I'm back and catching up on life/work. Hope everyone is well!
I fear Aduard is not going to be as useful in this fight as I hoped.
Are the employees hanging back? It'd be fair enough given what has been done to them already...
They are, yeah. Mostly because of your massive Diplomacy roll, but also because the logistics of this fight are painful enough without adding a few mooks.

Okay, the loot list linked under the Campaign Info tab has been updated to the best of my knowledge. You guys actually have a fair amount of healing potions and wands. I've also taken loot back from Dashil and Radag, since that was stuff that you all earned.
Let me know if I've missed something or if you have something to add.
That list is great! Thanks - it must have been an annoying job.

It had to be done haha
I plan on staying much more on top of it now though.
Nice! Thank you, R0B0!
Hmm - do wands have Arcane/Divine/Psychic?
Sorry, gang. Had friends from the other side of the state visit for the weekend. New post will be up tomorrow
Hope it was a nice visit, GM!
Hey Karras, how upset would you/your character be if I dropped a Glitterdust directly in front of you? I can definitely do something else if that would makes things way too irritating for you. :)
Karras's player would have no problem and Karras, being an means to the end kind of guy would heartily approve :)
Excellent!
Note: Aduard's action was dropping down and heading back, if you're waiting for me.
Hey all. I need to apologize for my recent absence. I managed to catch COVID, and although it was pretty mild overall, my brain was fogged over for most of the week. I'm feeling better now though, so we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming.
I'm glad you're feeling okay!
Covid?! That's terrible!
I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope you make a full recovery soon.
Sorry you got Covid, GM, but I'm glad it was mild. Hope you're totally mended soon!
I'm hopeful that the AoO hits, but if not... Doc would like to jump and try and land on Vorkstag sending them both to the ground (and hopefully inflicting some bludgeoning damage and falling damage on V in the process). Not sure how to adjudicate that. Acrobatics check? Touch attack?
Doc is 30' from the floor if I understand correctly?
Damnit. Didn't realise about the bow. Ah well, Aduard is flustered, so it sort of makes sense. To be honest I'm not sure Edison is even going to want the bow back.
I had a death in the family and will be leaving town, trying to tie up some loose ends at work, etc. over the next week. Posting may be slow going for a bit.
I'm really sorry to hear that man. Wishing you the best.
Take all the time you need
Fair enough - real life has to come first. My condolences.
