HP:
Will work on leveling, might take a day or two.
Up to a point I don't mind feat retraining, especially at lower levels. I'd like to have it locked in by 5th though. At that point you should have a fairly decent idea how your character fits in and what kind of track you're likely to take. Just let me know what you have in mind
Was thinking of taking a feat for a short-term boost and later replacing it with a more powerful, related feat since they don't stack.
However, is not a big deal either way.
Mostly done levelling -- despite my original plan (and the work I did advancing Vardan) I've opted for another cavalier level instead of starting the Paladin levels.
Just need to finish bumping Thorne -- for Vardan, it's 5 skill points, 6+2 HP, +1 BAB, and boosts to Challenge (now 2x/day, morale boost to saves increases to +2), and attribute boost to STR (now 18).
Will copy updated info in tonight and update status bars.
OK, think I'm good to go.
Sorry, been moving. Will level asap.
Apologies for poor posting last week. Had a case of food poisoning.
Hey guys, hope no one things I'm being too pushy in the game thread. Let me know and I'll tone down my posting rate.
I will try to get caught up tomorrow. Was at a con last weekend, and RL has picked up.
Hey guys, are we waiting on something?
*points to the new post*
Wow, that's quite the haul. Will post IC tonight after work.
How about this for a split
* 2 CSW and 1 Lesser Restoration for everyone
* bolts +1 evil outsiders bane to Drakra
* chime of opening for Drakra
* Wands of Magic Missile and Daylight for Fomiel
?
Seems reasonable. Vardan might argue that having a CSW potion on hand for Thorne would be helpful, especially since others trend to stand back and be less exposed to combat, but would concede pretty quickly.
It's more a matter of keeping it distributed so that anyone can heal if need be. Seems like we're in for a hard fight!
Ready to move on right?
Yeah, just getting my ass kicked by work and life a bit. I'll have something up in a few hours.
Think so.
Split is good.
Who's up?
I think we need to identify the demons to see if we can overcome their fast healing somehow. Is Godwin close enough to the other demon to five step over and help Vardan bring it down? Needling away at this one seems pointless. I'm thinking of telling hte rangers to retreat too. No reason for them to get hurt if they can't even hurt these guys.

Suddenly really wish I'd taken that first level of paladin so I could smite and bypass DR?
Is it DR or is it fast healing? If it's DR than Godwin can buff weapons to be good aligned.
You are doing damage. The one that Vardan was attacking looked very damaged until it abandoned its host.
Yeah I think Vardan's charges are overcoming whatever is happening. But I think a nice knowledge roll might confirm that Godwin's Good Blessing might help bring them down even faster.
Drakra hasn't posted for a bit. Hope you're okay Drakra.
So.... in happier news. We're expecting our second child this Friday so I'm probably not going to be posting anything substantial for a while after!
Congratulations!
Congrats! Sorry about my absence these last few days. Damage control with friends and family after the election took the forefront.
Congrats. Got two who play PF with me, taken them to several Cons.
Things are good on my end. Mom and baby doing well and I should be able to get a bit more free time Mondayish? Definitely by first week of December. Will try and catch up and post here and there.
Great news! Glad to hear Mom and baby are doing well. Another new gamer added to the ranks ;)
Does anyone know who has the weapon buffing scalw?
Selindra, maybe? I joined to late for Vardan to get a scale.
Couldn't Godwin use Radiance?
Selindra did leave Radiance behind
Pretty much back to regular posting I think. Everyone in the family is doing good.
I think Drakra should get the scale of holy weapon so that he can buff people as needed. Maybe Wendaug.
Can you post Radiance stats again? Godwin will start using the weapon as it's better than burning through Blessings.
Radiance is a +1 Cold Iron Longsword
I'll use it two handed.
Everybody okay with the scale plan? If no PC wants it then Wendaug can use it I think.
The Levitation scale would work right? How big is the shuttered window?
So what do you say guys? Use levitation so the party can try and go in via shutter, leaving the rangers behind, or try and bash the door down?
We have nobody who can pick a lock? (Did I misread the description, I thought there was an accessible lock)
The window would be unexpected, so I like the tactical part of that.
Assuming all PCs can manage to levitate, let's try -- but not sure we'll be able to open the gate from the inside
We can levitate three times up to 19 minutes per time and I think Godwin would have no problem carrying Drakra up.
It's a shuttered window though so we don't know what it'd take to open it even if we did get up there. Can the rangers make the climb up? It wouldn't be hard to drop a rope down if we were able to get in though. Everything depends on how easy the shutter is to open which I don't think we'd be able to figure out until we get up there.
I'd be surprised if Drakra didn't have Disable Device though.... is Drakra even with us anymore?
Hold up. We have a Chime of opening. I think we can get in any way we want!
I think it's a good time to use the chime.
Does the shutter plan work GM?
I'm still here. Just not posting as much as RL has picked up.
Drakra does not have disable device, not really a bard skill. He could easily grab a level of rogue or spend a feat on Additional Traits and grab the feat that gives trap finding, but that does not really help right now.
Cool. I don't think we need to go that route what with the chime of opening. Maybe if Drakra has a good UMD we can pick up wands that replicate what rogues do later?
The levitate scale creates a pillar of rolling clouds 5' in diameter, so it would be good to lift one character.
Cloudwalking: Three times per day as a standard action,
a scale can be used to cast levitate. A pillar of roiling clouds
rises below the levitating object or creature, growing and
shrinking with the target's altitude. This pillar is 5 feet in
diameter (regardless of the target's size) and provides
concealment (2 00/o miss chance) to any creature or object
wholly contained within.
I was thinking that if three of us go up Godwin could carry Drakra with him? Godwin's pretty strong and Drakra's pretty small? And Vardan can be mounted on Thorne and Thorne is the one that is levitated? That way at least the core four of the party can get in.
Then if/when the way is clear we throw down ropes for the rangers to follow.
If that's a reasonable plan than it would be great to put it in action.
So I've decided to do something pretty dumb guys!
Throwing my hat into the GMing ring for at least a test run.
Any advice would be appreciated on how I do.
I actually don't want you guys to apply because the level of GMing in this game is so high! Can't live up to this game.
The perception style that you're talking about is also known as "passive perception" and is used quite a bit so that players don't metagame "Oh, the gm made us roll perception, so there must be SOMETHING to find!" So unless the people specifically state they want to look around you use it, if they want to search (whether there's something to find or not) they can roll. If you ever need any help at all, feel free to post here, or send a PM, I'll help however I can. :D
