GM Tyranius The Devil We Know Part: 4 (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

KAH-zoo!

gesundheit!

Sorry, Paizo site has not been kind to me the last few days. Only just managed to get in but I really need to get to bed now. Will try to update in approximately 12 hours but please bot me where necessary.

Sorry to hold things up. I was robbed Monday night at work and have been dealing with everything. I am fine and whole.. just a tad bit messed up.

Oh snap! Glad to hear you're all right.

Yikes! I hope you are okay.

Yea, no kidding. That is awful! Glad to hear you are alright.

Thank you guys.

Just an FYI, I am having surgery tomorrow to get rod if a cyst on my right hand. I hope that it wont put me out of commission too much or for too long.

Hope that all goes well and you heal quickly, Criscius!

May the docs roll a Nat20 on your surgery!

LOL, it ended up not being a cyst but a callous from not using a mouse pad. I have a glove to wear now when I use the computer and type.

PFFFFFF. Oh well :'D

That is good news! Better than the alternative anyways.

I was kinda looking forward to it, lol

Sorry, the past few days have been nuts.

I am beginning my flight overseas now. I am going far for 24-48 hours but will get Internet as soon as possible.

Have a good flight!

Enjoy your flight.

Be safe and good luck!

How long would it take, should everything go smoothly, to escort the prisoners out? Minutes, hours?

I will happily escort them out. I am just reluctant to take them alone.

Would take roughly an hour.

Are those squares on the left and right the cages, or just some difficult terrain? Trying to tell if we're basically fighting in a long, straight hallway or if it opens up a little.

They are the cages.

Quint, just so you know, I am dying laughing on this side of the keyboard.

I like our interactions...

Especially since he had a possible crit with his alchemist fire, lol

Senach's all like, "Simmer down, children!"

It would be so, so cool if I could do more than 2 damage in a hit. Just, like, the best.

I think historically, Vulpina's never had any luck fighting the undead, so I'm just gonna keep that in mind for the future.

Yup. Build around it. Good character development. :)

The undead are just too mighty for the puny wittle kitsune :)

QUINT I SWEAR TO ARSHEA

but yeah, like, historically, that's true. I always bludgeon when I should be slashing, or piercing when I need to be... not-piercing. And that's not even counting the time I thought it was a good idea to stab a plague zombie. That's why she carries around some antiplague these days...

Assuming this goes smoothly (ie without her dying), I think she's gonna just resign herself to finding high ground and shooting.

...Related note: hey Tyranius, is there a flat space on top of the cages that, perhaps, our ranged characters could climb to and shoot down from, so that Vulpina isn't granting total cover?

Unfortunately they go to the ceiling.

Go ahead and roll your Day Jobs. below you will find the chronicles. I believe a few more are leveling for this last part which may put us into Subtier 3-4. So could everyone please let me know what levels you will be at for the Conclusion.

Part 3 Chronicle

Part 3 Chronicle OOT

I will give a day or so to level.

Kazu's Day Job roll for 3rd scenario:
day job - caravan (intimidation), masterwork tools: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21

This chronicle pushes Kazu now to level 4.

I'm actually moving this weekend, so I may be a little slow with leveling properly, as my physical character sheet for Vulpina is already packed away (not to mention I'm going to be hauling boxes and furniture). That said, she will be level 3 for the next session. Taking a level of Juggler Bard, actually!

I'll go ahead with her Craft (Alchemy) though, since I think she's already done all the schmoozing she can.

Craft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Trapper: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Elowyn will be lvl 4 for the last part.

Craft Calligraphy 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

I have been home sick most of the day today but had to take my cat to the vet because he hadn't eaten in two days and vet was concerned. I should be back tomorrow night.

Lady Vulpina/ Quint: As a player, I am dying laughing listening to you two bicker!! Senach just has not developed much of a personality yet.. you will have to excuse him being so serious!

No day job as of yet.

GM: You did not mark off the Bane of Swift Prison.. but I don't recall abusing anyone or committing a crime??

Missed it. Thanks. The links above will have the corrected copies.

***

So far we have

Lady Vulpina (Lvl 3)
Quintillus
Senach (Lvl 3)
Mardak
Elowyn (Lvl 4)
Kazu (Lvl 4)

Total (14)

Current APL

Looks like we are definitely in 3-4 Sub-Tier. Even if Quintillus and Mardak are at bare minimum lvl 2 that puts us at APL 3.

Thanks GM!! I will try to get everything converted ASAP.

This last scenario is exceedingly difficult at this Tier. So think carefully and bring your'A' Game.

Semi-High chance of a death in the party.

Question for the masses on my level up?
Feat: Point Blank Shot or Greater Mercy? There were several times this last game where I was about as useless as mammary glands on a warthog, and PBS would allow me to use my bow to better use. However, extra healing is a definite help..

Purchases: I have upgraded my bow to a +3 str composite bow and purchased masterwork armor, but still have about 1300 gold to spend. Suggestions?

Ok, Kazu has levelled up. No new gear as not enough money to buy anything. :)

He picked up the resiliency rogue talent which should hopefully improve his survivability. *fingers crossed& :P

Senach, I personally would go with greater mercy. Not to covet more healing for my character. No, no, definitely not. :) But seriously, I feel that the one long passageway combat is probably quite rare, and besides, an additional +1 to hit and dmg won't matter so much until you get precise shot to negate the -4 penalty for firing into melee, which is a substantial feat tax for a non-range build. Also, I feel that the main value of lay of hands is swift action to heal yourself. That action economy is fantastic for tough battles when you have to agonise whether to heal or to attack. Why not both! (And Greater Mercy seems to work for healing yourself.)

Hmm, spend 1000gp to increase enhancement bonus of armor by +1?

I actually have a few other characters I could bring instead as he is only 2nd level.

That is your choice. You are not locked into any character in particular.

I have a 2nd level monk 1st level rogue (acrobat)
a 4th level bard as my highest characters right now. Both I like playing.

No level up for Mardak, and no day job either.

Which would be more useful
