How do you want to split the consumables we just found? Those potions and scrolls seems pretty useful, the blade barrier and wall of force, but also the displacement and summon can become useful.

I would say you take blade barrier and summon. I will take wall of force and displacement. Based on how can cast them.

Usually, people just claim the potions they want.

Scrolls are almost always given out based on spell list.

Once you claim something if you move under your name in the shared sheet it helps me later for selling.

Ok, I think I will take only the blade barrier scroll then.

I prefer if you can inscribe the summon, hold monster, wall of force and charm monster into your book. They will give you more use by sure.

The prayer scroll I think it is best sold out.

The amulet of natural armour +2 would be better slotted by Gallant or Sid, because both Dolgrym and Leira already have spells for a better natural armor bonus.

I am tempted to take the dragonfoe amulet, it is cool, but probably at this level the coin will do us better even if we manage to regularly fight dragons.

I will also take the +1 warhammer, unless someone has more need of it, because it is always good to have a secondary weapon, and this one is both magical and bludgeoning which complements well Leira's adamantine falchion.

I tend to just pay for spells scribe when we do our shopping trips and keep the scrolls (still have to update my spellbook). I have been avoiding summoning because I already have a monster to control.

Apologies for being AWOL. I'll shop and update over the weekend. I might just steal Dolgrym's list outright!

+3 cloak of resistance
+4 belt of Strength
+2 headband of wisdom

Sell +1 cloak of resistance for 500 gp.

So hey guys, question. What is our aim in this village?

The giants are recruiting in this camp training them. We have to disrupt their activity and kill their leaders so the training camp disbands.

If we don't they are to join the Storm Tyrant plans of conquest, or whatever he is recruiting for.

Leira's got it. The old lady made it clear that a frontal assault is a death sentence. So we are plotting! Sid likes the plotting.

Congratulations you are now all level 10.

Yay more toys.

Level10 hp: 2d10 ⇒ (9, 5) = 14
Taking 9.

Upgraded, simple level up this time, more HP, more BAB, more uses of special abilities, faster use of martial flexibility.

Man grapple rules are a mess. Seems like escaping a pin means they are completely free of the grapple. They're not prone or anything?

I think we ruled that Zavier can start a grapple and pin on the same turn as long as he has a move left? Is that correct?

Grappling is hard and complex but you are correct on both counts.

You are correct. Breaking a grapple breaks the whole thing.

Yep greater grapple allows you to use your move for another grapple check, (I'm oversimplifying slightly but that is the basics).

Rapid Grappler allows a third attempt at a -5 as a swift action allowing you to tie up in one round.

Grabing style allows you to grapple with one hand so you can have the rope out.

1) Standard - Grapple (if successful go to 2)
2) Move - maintain to pin (if successful and have rapid grappler go to 3)
3) Swift - maintain with a -5 to tie-up

4) If any checks fail grapple is lost an neither party is grappled use remaining actions.

Hey guys, we seem to have taken out most of the camp I think, maybe we can clear out the mine, rest a day, and then go after the final boss? Does everyone think we're ready?

It seems an appealing plan :)

I am curious to see if we feel the camp is really falling apart the next day after our last interventions.

Yep, let's clear out the mine, secure that slaves, survey the camp then march into battle.

Congratulations, you are now all level 11

Amazing. Thanks!

HP roll: 2d10 ⇒ (10, 5) = 15

So this was a pretty big level for Zavier.

Bab to 11 which means another iterative attack.
Max Hp bump.
Beast wrestler goes to +6 bonus against giants so he's even better at wrestling giants.
Took feat improved initiative so that's a +_8 now.

Note a lance on a mounted charge deals double damage, ouch! Fortunately, against ill odds, it did not hit Leira despite being flatfooted. I think you did not include the +2 to hit, -2 to AC from charging, but with the columns' cover Leira FF AC was 33, so a 6 in the dice was needed.

Besides, this creature looks super cool.

Wait a second, are the necrocants, Dolgrym and Gallant attacking each other through the "opaque sheet of flame"? xD

I always forget that about wall of fire. I never use the spell.

Oh, the opaque fact is easy to miss. I was extra afraid by the fact everyone seems comfortable putting hands, claws or weapons through a sheet of BURNING fire that specifically states it causes 2d6+CL fire damage "to any creature passing through" :D

Thanks a lot for adjusting Leira's target Daniel. Those kind of things help a lot to move things forward!

Any other prep you want to do?

I would love death ward but I fear it is not available :(

We can get a scroll and mnemonic vestment next trip to Absolom.

To know the total damage Leira received from the slay living spell I need to know the cyclops Caster Level GM!

I hope that is not 59 or she will be dead :)

Sorry - caster level is 10

Thanks!

Besides, Sid said the wizard was holding position on his Gallant post, so I guess his intention is to save spells for now unless something wrong happens.

Question, is anyone tracking all that equipment we are finding?

Freedom of movement specifies to triumph paralysis, so I think you should be able to free Zavier with that Dolgrym.

I do. When we have a chance to go back to Absolom to shop I do a second pass over everything, ask what people want to keep, calculate the gold for everyone then we shop. The next time we take a rest day I will post everything.

IRL game ran late I will post tomorrow morning.

Ok, thanks Sid!

I have a wall of stone to make a zig zag so they have to break it or come to us. Wall of stone does not have a huge area to work with for giants. Or I can start summoning a monster. Thoughts?

Not sure what might be better. The summon can probably do more, but it would not come until the next round after starting to cast, while the wall of stone could help immediately.

Whichever you chose, it will help.

Summon monster now and you can drop another spell next round and get two things fire then.

Sid will start casting summon monster and 5ft south. I'm in the mountain so things are spotty.

I do. When we have a chance to go back to Absolom to shop I do a second pass over everything, ask what people want to keep, calculate the gold for everyone then we shop. The next time we take a rest day I will post everything.

I have remembered I have been noting the posts where items have dropped. In case it helps you to do the list:

Awesome I keep a list myself but it is nice to have a double check.

Zavier might need healing or some other buff! Half hp gone in one hit.
