GM SpiderBeard's Second Darkness (DrEvil Group) (Inactive)

Game Master Barvo Delancy

Same here! My retreat is done and I'm back in business. Thanks everyone.

Computer still misbehaving. Argh.

GM, is there still a cloud in the main room? I was targeting the ones in the pit. I thought I could see them.

No cloud in the main room, and you can see them and successfully hit one. Sorry if my narration was unclear.

The haunted house I help with every year is kicking into high gear. My posting time will be extremely limited until monday. Please bot me as necessary.

Assault plan Alpha A: After any buffs send in Earth Elementals to attack from behind/below those lying in wait. The round after they attack we open the door with best AC person up front, maybe fighting defensively. Yes?

I'm fine with that plan!

Lets also make sure you have drunk your Anti-Toxin as I expect sleep bolts from hand crossbows at the least.

Already did, here.

Thought so. Anyone else have ideas or issues?

Good plan. I'll take care of the Darkness effects. It will probably turn me into a target, so I'll try to use that to our advantage.

I'll be camping starting tomorrow and will not be back until Monday. I am not sure I will even have cell service where I am headed. Have a good weekend.

All,

I will be traveling this weekend to help my daughter move into the house she just bought. I leave tonight and her new house is without internet until next Monday so my posting chance will be slim. I return Sunday night.

Thanks Saphren.

For the rest of you, the posting rate seems to have crashed for this game. Is everyone available for daily posting right now? Our momentum has stalled badly.

I'm still here. Kinda reeling as a result of the election, honestly. Dealing with a lot of very scared friends and family. My creative energy is pretty sapped right now, but it will come back.

Totally get it. I'll keep you on GMPC for the time being. Thanks for checking in.

I'm here. Don't really have any excuse though for being spotty, nights are just hampered by two kids under 2. I'll try to post more on the day of an update but I've been refraining from a strict everyday posting as to save everyone the endless rambling of the Zeppelin Bard.

I don't know what we're waiting on?

Just some people to post! We're good now.

I was in the same boat with the election... I think I'm over the funk I was in, now.

I will be camping and out of contact this weekend. Back Monday!

Have fun! And not sure if I posted this here, but this month has been INSANE for me. A three week cold, work going nuts, and three conferences. Third and longest conference is at the tail end of this week. THings should level out after November. Thanks for your patience folks.

I'm playing with the idea of going Arcane Archer at level 9 but haven't played the prestige class before. Do any of you have positive or negative experiences with it?

It sucked under 3.5. Better now. But I have actually never seen it played. Likely there is a reason. :)

The problem with the Arcane Archer is that these days there are Hybrid classes that do the Arcane Archer's gimmick better. Myrmadarch Magus, and Warpriest come to mind.

Saphren does not have the heart to tell Zoso that he can charge and catch the enemy flat footed without a flank from the bard.

Yeah, but you had your bow out, thought it would save you from having to drop it :)

Hey there, so there's been no sign of Trig for the past month and posting was very spotty leaving up to that. Since Trig is an 'original' from this game I'll ignore my usual one month rule and leave it until January before I consider removal. Hopefully Trig'll show back up!

And another note, I expect posting will be slow for these next two weeks. If people can't post, no biggie.

Brenna seems to waver as she tries to decide whether to keep firing the bow, or just dive into the melee. Finally she mouths "f*&^ it" and ditches her bow, races across the field drawing her axe as she goes, and brings it down at the drider at the end.

Battleaxe attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Battleaxe damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Note that her shield is not readied, so Brenna is currently AC 21.

Wrong thread ;)

DAMMIT *rages*

When the others are ready Saphren activates his slippers of spider climbing and climbing onto the wall avoids the aclhemicals as he skitters in quietly.

This gave me a great visual of Saphren "pumping up his sneakers", had a good chuckle at the thought itself as well as the unintended pun.

That sorta fits for Saphren.

Hi guys, so unfortunately it's been far too long since she's posted and I'm going to have to remove Trig after the completion of this mission. I'll extend the player the same offer I did to Magnus, if one of 'em comes back I'll increase group size since both were with us for so long.

I can easily find a good player to fill in a fifth slot, or we can keep at four. Thoughts?

I'd rathe pick up a fifth. It's a great game and I up for letting someone else enjoy it too. RP dynAmics are better with 5 as well. Now what do we need? Saphen is a poor tank...

I think we need a full arcane caster, Zoso is really just arcane support, archery support, and moral support.

I'm inclined to agree with Zoso - an arcane caster, or even arcane partial who can do blasting or control, I think would fit nicely.

^ what they said.

I'm good with that idea.

Hey guys, I'm going to have an RL friend joining us in this game. He's been playing in another game of mine and has taken right to PbP. Not sure what he's using as a forum alias, so uh, welcome Donnell for now! (other character name)

Excellent. Welcome Donnell.

Welcome!

Hi all, thanks for the invite.
I'll talk to the GM a bit today and figure out what would fit best - sounds like everyone is hoping for a 'caster, so I'll bend my mind to that.

(PS: Sticking with Donnell for now until I think of something better :P )

Howdy. :)

Welcome to the crazy fun times!

Hoody hoo! Barbarian 7
+11 hit points
+1 BAB
+1 Climb, Intimidate, Knowledge (nature), Perception, Survival; Linguistics (learned Elvish from dealing with all these elves), Knowledge (geography)
Feat: Improved Overrun
Gained DR 1/-
+2 rage rounds

Saphren takes a level of unchained rogue, of course.

He gains +1 BAB and another dice of sneak attack, He gains a feat and takes Spring Attack. He gains a good handful of skill points and gets better at stuff. :)

Woot! Zoso hetb+1 BAB, opens up 3rd lvl spells, and will now be entertaining you all with Inspire +3, and same Heap'O'Skills as Saphren.

Now who's nervous that something big and bad is just around the corner...

Is this the same day, or have we had enough time pass that our resources have refreshed?

It is very much the same day. However, you'll be able to use your new spell slots immediately.
