I cut Samuel one to attempt him not to suffocate, but the fall has probably broken the neck and by the description I have no hopes :(
You know that's a good point, there aren't very good rules for hanging. Can you give me a gist of what you came up with Grace? I'm all for not killing them, that actually wasn't my intention it just kinda worked out that way.

Yeah, carving into people's chests, putting a 2 story noose around their neck and then shoving them off a 3 story ledge tends to work out exactly like that :3

Sure. From Call to Arms: Ropes (Fat Goblin Games), page 34. By me! :)
Properly tying a noose and setting a target up for an execution requires a DC 15 Profession (executioner) check. Failure means the noose was improperly tied and set and is easier to survive. If the roll is failed by 10 or more the rope’s knots come unraveled as the victim is dropped, freeing the victim.
When the victim is dropped he must succeed at a Fortitude save or die. The Fortitude save DC is 25 if the noose is properly tied, or 15 if the noose is improperly tied. If the victim survives the initial drop they are automatically grappled and begin suffocating as per the normal suffocation rules.
A hanging victim trying to escape a noose must succeed at a DC 35 Escape Artist check. A hanging victim who tries to break the rope suffers a -10 penalty to his Strength check due to lack of leverage.

You could probably replace Profession (executioner) with Profession (serial killing psycho cultist...)
I'm afraid I didn't write the rules to make it easy to survive. Hanging is a fairly effective form of execution. It all just depends on if its a slow death or a quick one.

Unless the knot is hastily tied and poorly done. Congrats, you just saved her life! :D

Yay! My rules helped! Honestly, I'm just jazzed someone used my writing in their game.
Daww.
Wait, did you work on the Berserker archetype for Barbarians?

Yay! Me love you long time Grace!
And lemme guess, you figured we'd surrender when he threatened to kill her?
Oh, and off for the weakend, no more work til monday! Woohoo!
Well, no, not exactly. From what I've seen so far there could be 1,000 cultists lined up before you and you're more likely to run headlong straight into them than anything else.
But hey.
You're not here for daisies and playing on a playground.
Daww.
Wait, did you work on the Berserker archetype for Barbarians?
I did not, no. I did write/edit around 70 archetypes for the upcoming Shadows over Vathak Player's Guide. That was fun.
Oooo.
Taking sick kid to the doctor then 2 hours of sleep then back to work. Missed all the action.
My plan was to use Charm person to get a cultist to bring me within line of sight of the leader then hit him with Hold Person.
Grace's rules saving the day, awesome!

Sorry about Kiddo and lack of sleep.
*offers hugs*
*scratches head*
I think that's what will happen anyway, don't quite know what the deposition of Mr. Charmed crazy cultist guy is.
Great, well I'm out of the adventure.
That sounded reasonable. Daud did not want to come in the first place.
Besides. We are doomed and f++$ed off.
Great, well I'm out of the adventure.
I'd like to think your companions could try to stop you since you need to walk through half of them first.

No, Sunday DID want to come here, it was Yavenee's shop he didn't want to go to as a detour and take part in an apparently meaningless and humiliating ritual.
If I'm in a position to see you trying to leave, and realize what is wrong, I can stop you. It's unlikely that will be the case though.
Well, I meant is reasonable it can sprung on him the idea Kiley needs him somewhere else :/
The only way I see is convincing him the fastest way to reach the temple on time is to finish this combat first. Will be interesting to see whom is able to convince him of something.

I can stop you. You're not gonna like it but I can.
...
His lackeys may have just made it so I don't need to though. We'll see.
Grace has got it if Sunday doesn't snap out of it.
Good because if he doesn't like magic used on him he'd hate my solution.
He doesn't. He's already unnerved as all f&$$ because of what you did to the other guy.
Do I get a new saving throw each round or something?

Booyah! Who's the bard, huh? :)
BTW, Endzeitgeist posted a review of Call to Arms: Ropes today and gave it 5 stars, his seal of approval, and is now a candidate for his top 10 of 2015 list! I'm jazzed. :)
Nice!
Cool! Be sure to thank your Guinea Pigs!
Cool stuff! Congrats Grace! Let's see if you got it to that top 10 :)
Bards are awesome!

Grats! Got a good review from the one that counts AND saved a life in one of your games! WIN WIN?!

Oh man! Delendir is at high risk of perishing right now, but, what a catharsis. It has been the coolest moment for him in the whole campaign so far. Specially in this great hazardous environment of the mill.
Thanks a lot for the opportunity to trigger the hook of his wife/daughter in such a compelling way!
It's what I love about adventure paths over PFS. The ability to refine the story to involve bits of history of my players and make it personal is truly my favorite part being a GM. I'm glad you are enjoying it!
My brain isn't engaging. SM?
There was a DC 25 Sense Motive check.
Delendir will never do it with his -1 Sense Motives, so I did not even bother :P
Aha! GM, would I take a penalty for basing my Sense Motive check on his voice alone? I can't exactly see him at this point.
I think I got this. Let's see.
As about Daud being paralyzed, and because that is a horrible condition, let me note:
Ending Your Movement: You can't end your movement in the same square as another creature unless it is helpless.
Let me suggest someone takes his place while he recovers. Likely Elisai or the enchanted cultist.
Or one of the cultists could CDG him.

Sure if you like, tack on +5 to make it 30 for voice alone. Or you can always wait until your in LOS.
Hostages!!!!
Yep, I would have moved myself, but I didnt actually know my speed vs distance when travelling between floors + up stairs. If you are happy with me being next to Grace, then I am
I think you got there last round Eli and now you can take a full round of actions.
Perhaps we can force him to talk with a 'speak with the dead' spell.
True. I did originally have Sunday tearing his jaw off afterwards to prevent that, but he figured Delendir might have questions for him.

Sunday is an absolute psychopath.
Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not...

Welcome to level six everyone! You don't need to be leveled today, but I'd like everyone to be set before we leave the mill.
