GM RePete: Mask of the.....City of Golden Death (Inactive)

Can anyone else heal?

I was thinking we might survive if we were able to get everyone (as in Lorq and Dylph as they are the only ones left) behind Syllyn and he went on all out defense. It would be nice if we could heal the cleric and get her standing.

Sounds like a plan. If I can ever drop the yellow dude, I'll come your way...yellow looks like one of the weakest ones left and he appears to have 30+...hopefully my last shot drops him...that Egarthis dude hasn't been touched and Krantz looks like he has a buttload of hp as well...dunno how 2nd level characters get past this...unless we're supposed to get captured...

Money and Power as opposed to Wealth and Power...that Mask Guardian sure was picky...

Sure was. I was surprised it didn't work.

It does seem like we got the short end and were supposed to handle these opponents one at a time. We have an average of 20 HP each and they have 30+. We have to fight smarter. That's why I suggested the ranged attackers get behind Syllyn and have him go wall for as long as possible.

Still may not be enough if some of the opponents do not start dropping and, hopefully, the summoned dogs *poof*.

Syllyn has a CLW wand he can use which should restore Laura, which he will do if he does not go wall.

Lauranna has a wand of clw also. Might try healing her with or without dead dogs. Lauranna could then channel to stabilize purnel. Then form up and take them on with healing support. Cure light wounds wands are nice.

Zzzzz...*

You could step back and slam the doors on them to buy time.

Quick note: Lauranna gets a couple of bonus hp when magically healed due to her Fey Founding trait.

Sounds good Syllyn could step back next round, drop his sword, take out his wand, and heal Lauranna. Due to 1 point of non-lethal and fey foundling she should heal 1d8+4 which will definitely bring her back to consiousness.

Dylph can retreat and slam the doors.

Dylph, if you accept the rage you will get a free attack this round. The attack can go before you move. I don't see a downside to it, do you?

I'm trying to keep the other guy busy.

As for the golem with the command words, I heavily considered allowing it.

The question is likely to provoke many answers depending on the nature of the PCs, but the only correct answer is “money and power.”

But the phrasing of this seemed rather specific to me, so I didn't.

I agree wholeheartedly, this is a rough situation.

Razimir is a horse's patoot so it makes sense that his followers and magical creations would be too :)

Would his water blasts do more damage to the hell hounds?

@Lorqinor, your blast would do the same damage vs them as it does vs the brute. I will also give you this, the brutes touch AC is lower than the hound's

@Lauranna, Dylph would close the door after Syllyn healed you. So, you have line of sight, but the pedestal would provide some cover.

Ahh because he isnt using cold, makes sense.

Bump. Are we on pause for a reason?

Not sure.

Bump. Are we on pause for a reason?

I was giving Lauranna until I got off work yesterday to post as she'd asked a question about being able to see. Led me to believe she was wanting to do something.

Then when I got home, my internet decided to crap out. Buying a new router today after work.

If I were a conscientious GM, I probably should have voiced this instead of hoping you all had your ESP turned on... Post incoming.

Allergies kept me from the telepathic messages.

oh well, if he dies he dies, that is kinda the expected outcome with the BBEG and his minions coming after us at 2nd level.

Lorqinor, I'm not overly familiar with the kineticist class, so just to ensure I have your tally right...

Heat Adaptation
You are constantly protected by endure elements against hot temperatures only. You gain an amount of fire resistance equal to twice your current amount of burn.

Grants you 2 Fire Resistance.

The 1 burn gives you 2 NL damage that can't be healed until you sleep.

I think that is correct.

Lorqinor:

Krant is unconscious.

A 17 would have hit his Ranged Touch AC even with the -4 for firing into melee combat. However, you needed a reflex save for the AoE fire damage. If you had failed the Save, you would have been unconscious and bleeding out, so your attack wouldn't have gone off.

Due to that, I used your d20 roll from the attack for your Reflex save which was a success to take only half damage and still be up. Then rather than delay, I rolled the d20 for your attack to see if you hit Krant. The 10 missed (barely) because of the -4 for firing into melee.

I rolled a 17 for the attack though and didn't realize that I needed a reflex save

He's being kind. He could have used that 10 as your reflex roll (he requested it in his turn summary and had to make it for you when you failed to roll it) and you would have been unconscious and never gotten a chance to attack. Also, it is typically expected that rolls be made in the order requested/needed which meant that the ST should have been the first roll you made.

Unless I am not understanding your point? What are you saying should have been done?

It doesn't seem to matter i was hoping that at least a few if us would get out of this...

"WE ALL DON'T GO HOME, OR- or some of us do? We stay maybe?"

It doesn't seem to matter i was hoping that at least a few if us would get out of this...

I don't think you need to worry. He has dropped a few hints that we would just be captured and made to scrub toilets or something. Annoying as that may be.I just don't want anyone to bleed out. We can still win this. A channel will bring Lorq (you) up. Yellow might fall to the scream. The herald is the main issue left.

We will see.

Just a heads up, called in for a fun and exciting extra 18hr shift.

Will be getting a post up in a bit, as time allows. Right now ambulance call volume is a tad elevated.

Be safe Repete.

I'll be hiking to and camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in the wee hours of the coming morning...I won't get back up top till Friday afternoon and I'll be incommunicado as phone and internet connections are dead down there. Please bot me as needed and I'll be back with you all at the end of the week...

Have fun

Krant had a greatclub. Yellow has a rapier and a shield.

I just got home from my called in shift last night. Been up for 28hrs now.

Gonna try to grab a nap before kids get home from school and hope to post this evening.

I am recruiting for a Confirmation run if anyone is interested

do you want one of us to do his shot on yellow?

I don't think he can hear you from the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I personally think he should flank and stab people. The bow attack got deflected. But look what my tactics got me. Poor Purnel, he should not have rushed in. Oh well.

This it the last fight correct?

If one of you want to bot him, that's fine with me. Up from nap. Getting caught up on my games now. I'll bot him if no one else does in a bit.

Yellow doesn't have deflect. I would assume Dylph would shoot an arrow at yellow. Not sure what he would do regarding Egarthis in the near future.

I believe Eggy was the one that deflected the arrow, not yellow. Thus my suggestion he use the bow on yellow. All his feats are in ranged combat, so I'm not sure how a sneak attack will work out, particularly since Syllyn is currently disarmed and will not be supplying anyone a flank.

This it the last fight correct?

"DON'T SAY THAT!"

;)

Purnel or Lorqinor should be the botters.

I agree with Lauranna. For the next couple days, as needed, would either Lorqinor or Purnell bot Dylph?

Seems my dice aren't fans of the PCs...

The halfling can do it. I am hesitant to run another person's character especially if they die. Did that once and it caused all kinds of heart ache.

This rounds botting has been done, right? I thought I saw that GM Repete kindly did the honors. I am not exactly sure how to bot...is there a way to make it look like Dylph's picture verses Purnel's??? I would hate to have to create a dummy profile. I still have the pregen I uses two years ago clogging up my character list.

I'm not sure anyone has botted yet this round (and I don't actually have the time just now to look), but sure you can create an alias called--I don't know--"My Other Silly Disguise", or "Bot McBotface" and give it Dylph's picture (probably by searching for orcs and half-orcs to narrow the field). Then when we are safe you describe how Dylph hands all of his valuables over to Purnel for safe-keeping. It's as easy as pi. ;)

You could simply but the other character's name in bold too

Botting is normally done under your own alias. You just say that you are botting the character in your text. No big deal.

Syllyn is quite right, though I do have an alias specifically for botting I tend to use.

It helps my brain keep things separated when someone has stated they'll be gone for x time period.

I just got back last night...would've posted but was wiped out from the hike and drive back...trying to catch up now...

Welcome back Dylph! Got ya covered on posts through my last one, so I'll assume you are back and running moving forward.

Did you bring us something nice?

Hooray, one more week of school. We will be done next Wed.
