I think Arval would be really creeped out by that... And if not him it would be probably me ;P

Just to let you all know the insanity in my life this past week has settled down and I should be reliable once again. Thanks for your patience!
Cool! Everything all right again?
Whoops, missed this. Yep! It's all good now. That said no updates until tomorrow, I'm out for the evening.
Your spell did affect the golem! It's an unthinking automaton and so doesn't give much reaction. You can even see the damage and fortitude save in the rolls.
Haha, sorry. The flavour text can be misleading at times. I'll endeavour to be clearer in the future.
Sorry for not posting, nasty stomach virus hit the family this weekend. Finally feeling better and will catch up tomorrow.

Ack! Feel better!

To briefly rant, I adore this AP, but the Schloss Caromarc has some major issues. It's a great concept (basically the crazy castle of a mad scientist) that has some ideas I love, but the execution in general is weak.
The motivation to find the count isn't there because he's not established as someone the PCs should give a s!$@ about, the loot is largely possessions of the count a good party has no motivation for stealing, and the Whispering Way stuff is way too subtle. There are also obstacles and problems that really have risk, no reward, and little narrative value aside from "this guy is kooky!".
In retrospect I should have rewritten this section of the AP because the actual design is great, but oh well.
Anyways, your motivation is Brodur was supposed to meet you here, the owner is missing, and the Big Bads of the campaign are apparently behind it. Work with what you can. We're almost done chapter 2. :D
Thanks for clarifying. I'll put the blinders on and continue to bull bird rush through this.
Yeah, I've been trying to push through that particular weak spot. There is absolutely no reason for Whiskeyjack to be here, but we do what we have to. :D
Merry Christmas! :)
Merry Merry! I hope Sinterklaas filled your klompen with oats or however the hell that works!
No posts, but I'm going to push things anyways.
That sort of works :P
I had a couple of very tiring but fun and delicious days.
I cut off 1/3 of my nail and a lima-bean sized chunk of the tip of my finger while making Christmas dinner. 2 hours in the ER getting patched up. But otherwise, yep had a great time :)
Ouch... Hope the nerves are all right. Have seen a few people without any feeling in some parts of their hands! I myself have been very lucky in the past...
Happy new year to all y'all. :)
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
I have +7 on UMD.
How many people could I carry as a dire bat?
Huh, good question. This isn't covered in the RAW. It says you can't fly in medium in heavy armour, but medium and heavy armour is about constricting movement as much as it is about weight.
With your strength (+2 from the wild shape), one halfling is a light load, one halfling + wren or two halflings is medium, and Arval or Whiskeyjack are both heavy.
I'll say no problem with a light load, half speed with a medium, and a difficult fly check for the heavy - consequences being that you lose altitude.
We don't all have to go up there. Arval wouldn't be able to control anyone :P Arval and Whiskey could go from the bottom.
So you want to break rule 1?
Wren is happy to go from the bottom as well. Also, we could use rope to get to the top too, right? Not that Wren has rope, of course.
Rope would work. The tower is three floors high before the exposed contraptions at the top, and each floor is 15'. So that's 45' from floor to top of tower to climb.
As for breaking rule 1, it's written with armour in mind, not encumbrance and all I found reading online was a lot of disagreement from GMs.
For me, I think a giant bat carrying a dwarf is more awesome than a giant bat NOT carrying a dwarf. So I'll go with it.

So here is a plan
wren and kawrock fly eldon and lena to the roof (can i use featherfall to reduce my encumbrance to my flyer?)
Whiskeyjack and arval take off their armour while the others tie off a rope and wren flies the end back to the big fellas.
the two biggers climb while wren flys nearby, aiding, and lena stands ready to featherfall them if they fall.
Once all on the roof, lena activates the storm caller with eldon aiding.
Party buffs
Once done we all descend. Lena and eldon (wren?) go for the bondslave, arval and whiskyjack distract the beastie with harsh words and blows.
bruder arrives and party ends beastie
victory and waffles at that point
victory and waffles at that point
+1. You had me at waffles.
However, if there is going to be ropes, then Wren doesn't need to use her fly spell. She can climb up on a knotted rope like a chump.
Rope would work. The tower is three floors high before the exposed contraptions at the top, and each floor is 15'. So that's 45' from floor to top of tower to climb.

Sorry by rule 1 I was referring to never split the party.

That's my Rule #1 also.
Not familiar with that one. Sounds like a good rule 2 though.
It seems everyone has different rules :P
I'm fine and happy with the handwaving. Wren is out of good options to help, but wanted to clarify the rules.
There is no special rules (at least that I know of) for differences of cover for higher ground. Higher ground bonus (+1) should apply to our melee attacks, however, from my understanding of the cover rules, I think it's more likely that it has cover from us and not vice versa.
Again, there is no special higher ground rule (unless you're decreeing it GM Spiderbeard), but the diagram shows (#2) that the rogue attacks through cover, and the ogre (with reach...uses the rules for ranged combat for deciding cover) does not. We should be attacking down with cover penalty and with higher ground bonus (to melee only)...so -3 to hit. And it should be whacking the AoO loving bejeezus out of us.
In our situation, that's how I see it, but don't feel we should worry about it.

I spent a while constructing a fairly elaborate argument and even started a diagram in gimp because I know the cover rules, and felt they did not fit this situation.
Then I remembered my first rule of a happy table - if there's a disagreement over rules with a player, and the player is reasonable, the player always wins.
The Promethean has partial cover against everyone on the top of the tower and vice versa. CASE DISMISSED!
Congratulations for completing Chapter 2 of Carrion Crown!
This next week is going to be on easy mode as we wrap up the chapter, and give you guys time to level up and of course get new shiny gear.
We have completed two of our monsters of the week, er, year. The first was a haunted house, this was of course the Frankenstein's monster. Next up: werewolves!
Awesome! Good job, everyone! :D
GM, after chapter 1 you gave those who wanted it a PFS chronicle sheet. Could you report this game as well, for those who'd like a sheet? :)
Sure. Chronicle sheets for whoever wants one.
Awesome! Can you get a chronicle sheet just for playing? You don't have to have a PFS-legal character or anything?
