It's good to be back! And soon up, hopefully.
Well... it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Since Grauk's initiative is by itself do you just want to roll his stability checks to keep things moving?

Seems reasonable. I expect your allies will end this in fairly short order, so I don't think there is a threat to your life here.
Ranged attacks to start with are a good plan. We just need to pick up some ballistas. ;)

There's a rock-launching catapult out by the Barterstones. Maybe you can get your hands on that...
Hehe.
@Nakoma: cheers for the healing. That's Acacius back up to 13 hp.
I am so looking forward to level 3. That's when Acacius can wield polearm and shield at the same time. :)
You're welcome!
Dark Alley - Post Combat Summary
Defeated: Urnsul (rogue 2/fighter 1) and Vorom (fighter 3). Combined these two are worth 300xp per player. This moves your cumulative total to 4425/5000xp, or about 81% to level 3.
Injured:
Azen: 10 hp dmg
Acacius: 8 hp dmg
Grauk: -8hp; unconscious
Nakoma: 11hp dmg
Zeke: 19hp dmg
Resources Used:
Azen: 22 arrows fired (38 remaining); all 1st lvl spells cast.
Grauk: Mage Armor cast once today
Nakoma: all fervor used; 2 blessing used (2 remain); 2 charges from CLW wand used (3 remain); 1 1st level spell (Bless) remains
Zeke: 1 1st lvl spell (shield) remains; 1 channel used (2 remain)
Huzzah!
That was far too close. But what a story, should the PCs survive to tell it.
And I notice that we approach level 3. One, maybe two more fights, should we make it through them.
So...
Azen has the potion of cure moderate wounds and the potion of vanish. Did you also want the masterwork studded leather armour? It's too heavy for me to wear and I think it's better than what you've got.
Acacius has the masterwork greataxe.
Either Zeke or Acacius should take the potion of bull's strength and the potion of enlarge person.
Grauk? What would you like?
Does anyone want the two alchemist's fire, the thunderstone, or the shield cloak? I'd be interested in those but only if no one wants them. I have Rodrik's magical hope knife, so I've got more than my fair share of treasure.
On a similar note, I see we have two scrolls of knock on our unclaimed loot list. You should take them Grauk. You're the only one who can activate them without too much trouble.
I'm more interested in the potion of enlarge person, because it would extend Acacius' reach to 20ft with a polearm. I wouldn't mind the potion of bull's strength too, but I don't want to be greedy.
You take the potion of enlarge person, then. I think the only thing Zeke will want is the potion of bull's strength anyway.
@Nakoma: Fine by me!
@All: I'll be moving in the next week or so, which may mean irregular posting.
@GM: Feel free to bot Acacius as necessary. As a general rule, start with pilums. Then glaive-guisarme if he can, or mwk battleaxe if enemies close.
The thunderstone could be useful. Acacious mentioned the shield cloak but its still got arcane spell failure so of limited interest... more of an "I guess if no one else is using it until such a time as we can flog it for booze and adventuring gear money."
Here is how I have sorted the loot so far, please correct me if I am wrong:
Azen - Potion of CMW, Potion of Vanish
Acacius - MW greataxe, Potion of Enlarge
Zeke -Potion of Bull's Strength
Nakoma - 2 alchemist's fire; shield cloak
Grauk - thunderstone
Usually, I make it a rule that players must claim the loot (not have someone else tell them they should take it). So the armor is still sitting as are the scrolls of Knock from before.
Just LMK if there are more things claimed. Thx
Zeke will claim the potion of bull's strength and the two alchemist's fire (which were allotted to Nakoma. She says it's alright).

so noted
Azen, did you take the light armour?
Yes, I will take the armor. You're right. In my mind I had a chain shirt, because that is pretty much what all my characters have, but uh yeah... I had no money for such an extravagance, so I will happily take the studded leather, which has no armor check penalty now because of the masterwork status (and no spell failure because I am a bard). Thank you for pointing it out.

I moved the MW studded leather to Azen and put her old armor in the sell pile.
You are very welcome! Haha.
We're making progress!
Hello everyone. This weekend is Thanksgiving so Zeke and I will very likely be unable to fit in a post (but we'll try our best!). Please bot us if needed. We’ll be back to regular posting on Tuesday. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Thanksgiving. Didn't realize you were guys were neighbors to the north. Is it turkey and dressing and all the fixings for Canada T'Givng or is that a uniquely American thing?
My wedding anniversary is Sunday, so I will likely be out of commission that day at least.
Thanks! Yeah, we celebrate pretty much the same, I think. Haha. Visit family and eat way too much food. Turkey, dressing, ham, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, that sort of thing.
Happy anniversary!
Enjoy, all!
Congrats! Happy anniversary!
Orc Looters - Post- Combat Summary
Defeated: 5 orc warriors. These fellows were worth a combined total of 169xp per player. This moves your cumulative total to 4594/5000 or about 86% to level 3.
Injured:
Acacius: 13/22 hp remaining
Zeke: 3/20 hp remaining
Resources Used:
Azen: 26 arrows fired (34 remaining)
Nakoma: 3 blessings used (1 remains)
Zeke: deflection aura used
Acacius can stay at the barricade. Might make better tactical sense.
Please be advised that I will be leaving for vacation tomorrow evening returning home late Saturday night. I may be able to post while away, but certainly not with regularity. Should return to normal operations on Sunday.
Have a good trip.
Take care.
Enjoy yourself
Sorry about this, but life...
I am moving to Texas next week, and won't be able to post for sure Monday-Thursday, and it just depends on what is going on whether I will be able to post the rest of the week. Hopefully will be back up and normal on Monday the 29th latest, since I start my new job that day, so things have to be resolved at least that much.
Please bot me as needed.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I hope the move goes without a hitch.
Sorry about the long absence. Have been too tired to get through all my games since returning from vacation, but a nice restful weekend has me tuned back up and ready to go. Hopefully, Azen will be rejoining us soon.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your weekend. :)
I'm up and running. Sorry for the long break. I'll go take a look and post.
Just to clarify for when it's my turn, when these orcs 'fall dead' they're literally dead, right? Just confirming for the purposes of my channel energy.
Yes, if they are dead including the ferocity, I won't bring them back if you channel energy. The X's are to hold places and make difficult terrain for future waves.
Please note that I will be heading to Charleston SC tomorrow through Saturday for a college visit. Should be able to post in the evenings but may miss depending on the schedule and how weary I am from traveling.
Should be back to normal posting Saturday evening.
Have a good trip,

Hey guys, we're going to have a crazy busy weekend. It’s unlikely I’ll Zeke and I will be able to post Saturday, and we definitely won’t be able to post Sunday. Sorry if we hold up the game. Feel free to bot us if needed.
Thanks!

Sorry guys, had to go out of town unexpectedly yesterday. Catching up on work tonight, back home tomorrow evening. Should be back to game then.
No problem!
This fight...is going pretty well!
Don't tempt fate. :)
With our luck, 90 orcs are going to rush in all together and half of them will be wizards with web or something that restricts our ability to move, or the bomb ones will get smart and trim the fuses.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Or it will be a single crippled orc, but one who keeps rolling crits while we flail at the air around him. ;)
Maybe not 90, but there is another wave coming and it will be a hard one.
Man am I wishing I had feather fall now... it could have slowed their advance so much.
I am traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday starting tomorrow AM through Saturday late. Might be able to post during that time, but may also be in a turkey coma for most of the weekend. Should return to normal duty by Sunday.
I am thankful to all of you for making this a long-running and fun game. Look forward to what happens after this interminable invasion sequence ends.
