I wouldn't bet too much money on that, but this is even worse:
Cause Fear - Creatures with 6 or more HD are immune to this effect.
Sadly, Bupkis doesn't have the Telekinetic Haul Wild Talent.
And even a level up wouldn't help as you don't get a utility wild talent at 11th.
So sabotage it is, instead of lifting the bar off.
If we're totally stuck there's a couple of spells Daseem could pray for that might help here: Stone Shape (assuming the floor is stone, if it's not nevermind) and warp metal for the hinges
I'm hoping there's an easier way in we haven't noticed yet though. I didn't notice any polymorph or dimension door style cleric spells in levels 1-4.
Posting has been slow of late, are y'all still interested in this game? I'm up for continuing..
I'm around and react always if someone writes something. I might miss my turn occasionally which leads to lengthy waits if no one reminds me with a new post. So, no desire to stop it from my side.
I'm around; it's just not my turn right now.
Now it is.
Still Daseem's turn.
You can add the carpentry tools. What are you going to do with them?
Bupkis wants to make a lever to help lift the gate, and something to use as a fulcrum. Then he will need to make some sort of support to place under the gate once it's been partially lifted. The lever will likely need to be big enough so two people can use it together. Then with perhaps a 2x mechanical advantage (long end twice as long as short end), it will be enough to lift the gate. In other words, 500 lbs of force x 2 = 1000 lbs of force.
In the dark of the night at the mountainside I'm not sure how good an idea it is to start lengthy carpenting project. If you hade a block and tackle or something the like ready...
You could dry the outside of the grass, but not the inside. As it is given as bales of grass and not bales of hey, that will produce a lot of soke and very little fire if you light it with oil.
Great to hear from you again. Just in time to play "Scare the Mammoth"
Btw. I'm waiting for Bupkis, what he does with the levitated camp fire.
Sorry for my silence, lately! Work has been super busy the past month or so, and stuff has fallen by the wayside. I'm catching up now.
Great to hear from you again.
I should be back after my internet fiasco.
Good to have you back Ivan.
To just give a slight hint at the events, I have left behind the corpses of 3 modems before finally getting this resolved haha.
How many giants do you think you can take on?
@Daseem
Neither have I. But I looked it up, because it seemed stupid to use trample, if the trampled one gets a readied attack, an AoO and the opportunity to jump away.
Bestiary (1) page 305:
Trample (Ex) As a full-round action, a creature with the
trample ability can attempt to overrun any creature that
is at least one size category smaller than itself. This works
just like the overrun combat maneuver, but the trampling
creature does not need to make a check, it merely has to
move over opponents in its path. Targets of a trample take
an amount of damage equal to the trampling creature’s slam
damage + 1-1/2 times its Str modifier. Targets of a trample
can make an attack of opportunity, but at a –4 penalty. If
targets forgo an attack of opportunity, they can attempt to
avoid the trampling creature and receive a Reflex save to
take half damage. The save DC against a creature’s trample
attack is 10 + 1/2 creature’s HD + creature’s Str modifier
(the exact DC is given in the creature’s descriptive text).
A trampling creature can only deal trampling damage to
each target once per round, no matter how many times its
movement takes it over a target creature.
Format: trample (2d6+9, DC 20); Location: Special
Attacks.
Sorry, everyone. Work continued being rather busy. We were short-staffed. I'm able to catch up now, if that's okay.
Yay!
Okay, so, based on what I read, we fought a mounted dude a little bit, then he ran off. Did we decide where we're going next?
I think the plan is to go back and hit the brewery and if possible take out more giants.
Daseem craves violence against giants again. But currently you are accompanying some humans in rags and have to decide how and where you part with them.
I assume the plan is to get them to safety?
Yeah that's probably the most sensible thing to do first. Doesn't mean Daseem is sensible however.
Bupkis is in favour of getting the escaped slaves to safety.
Hi GM, how far is Daseem from the closest giant?
One of Ivan's moves plus maybe 5ft.
Will be on vacation the next several days, so I may not be able to post.
Hmm reachable from the SE corner, what's B1 and D on the map? Also what's K?
B1 is a giant camp. Normally I'd say you don't know what the buildings are without visiting them. But D is a tannery and K the brewery and I guess you*d smell both from miles away.
Not sure there's much point trying to attack with the elemental its too low level to be useful beyond setting things alight.
@Bupkis.
You are standing at the corner of the building, that the elemental set partly on fire.
Menrozzar, Ivan?
Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are we already at the base of the slippery slope, or do we still have to get down the slippery slope?
Also, everyone, we're exploring these caves the day AFTER we raided the brewery and the food storage. Everyone should have had a full night's rest.
You played with the rope. It is your choice if you are at the entrance or in. But it is not that big a difference (30 ft)
Okay, I was just trying to decide if setting up the rope would have counted as my actions for this turn or not.
No. That would have happened before. As putting in a post, or finding something alike, and tying a rope to it is no thing you can do in a round.
There's been a death in my family, just giving a heads up that I won't be available for a few days.
Sorry to hear that Ivan, please accept our condolences.
greetings all, Things are calming down now (sorry about being away, things never settled after they went crazy) So, I'm hoping to get back into the swing of PbP over the course of the coming week.
@Ivan
From my perspective it looks like someone drowning, who manages to come to the surface every now and then to tell he's fine, only to get sucked under shortly again. I wish you that the many armed kraken that's pulling you under finally gives up.
@All
Happy new year.
Can we attempt the Knowledge check again now that we've seen it move?
Sure.
Were a little bit behind on the levels. Especially to have Amira being able to take everyone along with dimension door, I'd like to fix that. So feel free to level up to 12.
This will also help a bit, once the wickerman comes back.
Bupkis is currently lvl 10. Should I add 2 levels?
Yes. The party was very strong compared to the enemies for a long time so I delayed the level ups. But now that isn't the case anymore, so let's catch up to the intended level and see how it goes.
I've started leveling up Bupkis, but haven't updated my profile.
