You really nailed that last question, Lorant. Nice work.
That's five questions right?
Also now I'm gonna cry as hard as the Beast. T_T
Everyone having a good spooky season? :)
You and me both, my friend. :(
T'is the season...
I will try to get a move out in the next few days. I just wanted you all to know that if I should suddenly disappear, it's not any of you. Know that I have enjoyed the game and it has been an honor to be your GM.
Likewise. I'm trying to find solace and distraction in the things I enjoy, but it's very hard right now. I completely understand if you need to put your attention elsewhere.

Thank you, WhtKnt. Honestly I'm feeling the same way...please, PLEASE take care of yourself.
Have fun! :D
I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I wound up stranded at the hotel I work at overnight due to a winter storm. May I please request a grace period so I'm not trying to write long complex posts on my phone? :(
Tis cool!
Did I miss a level up at some point? Currently I'm 5th. Should I jump straight to 7th?
Dylan gets 7 more hp (5 from taking half, 2 from con) , gains improved uncanny dodge and learns the bloodrager spell Cheetah sprint.
The Dylan train is now theoretically available.
Sorry for holding us back, I haven't gotten around to leveling Lorant up.

What do you boys think?!
Bad news, our router at home died so I'm gonna be limited to phone-posting until we get it replaced. Please feel free to bot Lorant as needed to keep the game rolling.
Good news, new router already!
Is everyone okay? It's been almost two weeks since the last post.
I figured that was the case, this is one of the steadiest games I've ever been in despite the ups and downs, thanks in no small part to your dedicated GMing. You rock! :)
This game's 10 year anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks.
Finally got around to leveling up Judah. He didn't get a very big upgrade, but holy f@+# did Gate get better. I somehow managed to forget to level him up at 5th level, so he jumped from 4th to 6th.
So now our favorite freaky monster is awesome.
His burrowing serpentine form is Large with a 15 foot reach, and has a +23 Grapple and Grab. When things are grappled they get pulled into an adjacent square. So he can pop out, bite someone, yank them underground with him and then let go. If they don't have Burrow, they're buried.
His flying, pouncing, combat form is also Large, and hits like a truck. Claw/Claw/Bite, with Rend, all at 1d6+11
His so-far-unrevealed sneaky form has a +19 Stealth with a 50% miss chance, DR5/Lawful, with Ghost Touch and +1d6 Bleed damage with his claws.
GM, one of the ability combos I've been building towards has finally come online, so I wanted to talk about it and make sure we're in agreement about how the rules work.
In it's Serpentine form Gate has a 15' reach (20 with Enlarge Person up).
With Burrow, it can attack from below the ground like a sandworm. It has grab, so it grapples if it hits.
The Grapple rules state that a grappled creature is pulled to the closest adjacent space to their attacker. For Gate, that's 10 or 15 feet underground.
Burrowing leaves a hole, which collapses after the burrowing creature moves, leaving lose dirt behind.
By my read, all that should mean creatures with Burrow and Grapple should be able to bury enemies alive (it's loose dirt, so they can dig themselves out, but if they're fighting while underground they're blind and squeezing).
What do you think? Is your ruling different? If you don't like it I can change things up.
Question, we got a map for this encounter?
I hear that! I work at a hotel, and we've got a big influx for this weekend (and an Indian wedding to boot)!
Going to be leaving tomorrow on a family trip to Milwaukee for a few days. I'll return on Friday, so if a post is needed from me in the meantime, please feel free to bot me. See you then! :D
I'm back!
