Leaving for the workshop, snuck a post in since Khayal got hit so badly!
Yeah and D & E are likely to be after this round too since so far they have taken 1 hp damage (last round) and now I rolled for 4hp total. Save for half. Not sure about their hp total but I think it is 5 or 6 based on previous fights.
Speak of rotten luck. What are the chances of rolling three 1s in two rounds! Maybe I should ask Khayal to roll my dice for me. :)
In the words of Carl Orff, "O Fortuna Velut Luna".
Thank you for the heal by the way. I don't expect to be standing at the end of the round but at least I should not be dead.
Just got back from the workshop. Trying to catch up on what I missed.
Question though - I thought that Doom lasted for 1 minute/caster level. I thought that meant 10 rounds. Or is one unaffected when they're enraged?
Also, you're welcome Khayal. We'll see what we can do to keep him standing.
*sheepish sounds* You are right. So the bite against hajar was 21, not 23. Still hits. But you are keeping me on my toes!
I was just trying to figure out how that worked myself. Thanks for confirming that I actually understood it. Yay! :)
Also, just realized Anjali can channel 5x/day, not 3x. I forgot to add her charisma modifier to the 3x/day.
So, spent 2/5 channels so far.
EDIT: Also found a 30' radius graphic here.
That's right! It's very hard for me to kill a party with one of "you people" in it. Especially with undead since you damage them at the same time as heal you friends. *GM grumbles* stupid oracles of life, grrr....
---Redacted---
Tell the GM what?
GM, thats an old 3.5 carryover that didn't make it into Pathfinder. You either damage undead or heal allies now, one or the other but not both.
At least with channels. Cure mass's still work on both.
I agree, as much as it might benefit us when we run into some undead baddies, I can't in good conscience let her give us such an advantage. LOL
When you channel, you choose to either heal or harm. Depending on the type of energy you channel (positive or negative) it will do one of four things:
1) Heal living creatures
2) Harm undead creatures
3) Heal undead creatures
4) Harm living creatures
The only way to do both healing and harm at once with channeling is with a prestige class (Envoy of Balance) from the Faiths of Balance book which only Neutral Clerics can take levels in. :)
WHAT, YOU GUYS ARE PLAYING PATHFINDER? I THOUGHT THIS WAS 3.5, LOL!
Just kidding. See Anjali? You don't have to know all the rules to play. Just look at me!
Thanks everyone.
That's the beauty of it, right? We get to learn from each other.
Not having much access to tabletop games, this is how I'm learning how everything works in this system.
Oh Yazi, you and your innuendo. LOL
Khayal, Anjali actually isn't tattooed. Those markings on her face are likely paint and henna when she has them on. (Avatar already had them.)
@ Anjali, gotcha thank you.
should barham be jealous or intrigued?
This has got to be Karma for me taking that Gnomish Luck feat for my Gnoll in my RL Dragonlance campaign.
Wouldn't it be Gnollish luck if you picked it for a Gnoll? I would think Gnomish luck would be limited to Gnomes. :)
Bahram, you just made the assumption that the gnoll would not attempt any defense. That Bartan and Hajar would be totally ok and not attempt to stop you. Why would you do that?
Well, as far as the gnoll attempting defense, the GM did say that coup de grace actions were allowable on the gnoll already, so that assumes he will not defend himself in any way. Bartan isn't going to attempt to stop him, but I also don't want in-party strife here, so let's figure out a good way to handle all this.
Well Bahram took the action already and I think it would be rather underwhelming to pull it back. He acted. Now we will figure out how to proceed. At least it ended the debate on that. :)
Edit: Dhavyn won't stop him. Not within melee range anyway. I'm fine with Hajar or Yazi trying to stop it though.
I isn't safe to assume actions. And in my opinion its kinda rude to do so with other players, essentially ignoring their wishes. I can understand conflict between what PC's want and that is the job of the GM to adjudicate, but simply ignoring other's wishes is bad.
I'm all for doing what your character would do, so if that's what Bahram would do, that's fine. We just need to remember not to take out-of-character offense to in-character actions.
If Bahram didn't add "killing it" to his post and maybe just made the slight amendment that he was "attempting to run the gnoll through with his rapier," would that have been more acceptable? That leaves what happens next in the GM's lap.
I'm genuinely asking here.
Well the GM already pointed out Hajar and whoever wants to try block can do so. Besides inter party conflict is fun. :)
I know, Dhavyn. I was asking to see if the wording of the post would have circumvented some of this. :)
Ok no matter what, I won't bother doing anything unless directed anymore.
if I could I'll delete the stinkin post and just stand there like I usually do anyway.
Bahram, I do not think that is the point. Its fine to have a character do stuff that is "not directed" that is half the fun of an RPG. I think they were just asking that you post your intent when it comes to "combat actions", even with a successful coup de grace the gnoll is not necessarily dead, probably will be but if the damage does not out right kill it, it does get a will save. If you had said,with a flash of my rapier, I attempt to coup de grace the gnoll, aiming my blade through its eyes, you would have been fine. (IMO)

Khayal said what I failed to convey in my post. \o/
I think one character tried to do something and two other characters attempted to block him, we should just see the potential for PCs disputes here, not players, so role play opportunity ! :)
Anyway, even if it was formulated in a way that suggested he already did it, the GM has last word on it, not the players...
Lately my on line time has been limited so I just threw a post out there without time for much fluff.
I have to much on my mind to argue anything. If my action isn't OK with the group then assume the attempt was prevented.
Regarding the setup of the exploration of the monastery, it's okay...but I would rather not have known that there are encounters ahead of time.
Normally when I've done PbP before the GM gives you the map and it is up to the characters to RP where they want to explore and then the GM gives the character the description of what they might see and the results of whatever rolls.
EDIT: Wow, Hadassa...we do have that timing down for posting, don't we? :)
We can certainly try it that way. On these Paizo boards I've just always had terrible trouble with the game bogging down like crazy during dungeon exploration phase.
No kidding! It's like we are dancing
Officially intrigued now, Hadassa! I didn't know that Colin Firth did an Argentine tango in a movie! I need to watch that movie (once I find out what it is).
Title = "Easy Virtue" I foresee popcorn and movie night at your house soon, lol!
Tango is hot. I don't care who-yare, Tango is hot.
Thanks! Oh yes, popcorn and a movie is in my near future.
I must agree, tango is hot!
hello all...I have been talking via PM with the DM, and quite honestly, I posted some things I really regret posting..
The dm responded and I defiantly deserved practically everything that was told to me in that PM.
I guess it is best I tell you all this...
My personal life has been going through some extremely difficult times. I had to send my wife into a rehab facility for the 5th time and now she has anorexia as well, and i have to transfer her to another hospital, possibly down in Alabama.
the entire situation has been extra stressful for me. At times I felt like I am to blame.
she attempted suicide twice but I managed to help her past that, (or so I thought).
I mentioned to the Dm about leaving this game. though it really isn't anyone here, nor (honestly) the DM, it is almost all me and my inability to really cope with this stress.
I hope you all understand, and DM Hadassa....I am sorry about what I posted, and after taking stock at what you replied, I realize you are right on almost all of it.
A part of me, deep down inside, would like to continue, but I don't know if it is appropriate or not.
So there you have it...my crappy life in a nutshell right now...and No I do not want nor deserve sympathy, I made this mess I am in, all I can do ask for forgiveness. nothing more.
Bahram, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Stress can be a very difficult thing to deal with. People deal with it differently. For some, the distraction of a game can help, for others, not so much.
Ultimately, you need to do what is best for you.
Either way, I wish you the best and hope that things get better for both you and your wife.
I for one would like for you to continue if you still enjoy the game (I hope you do, I know I do). It sounds like you could use some happiness in your life right now. If you decide that it is too much with what is going on in your life, then I completely understand. You and your wife will be in my prayers.

I totally agree. When it becomes a burden, then it's no more fun, but when it's a place where you can evacuate negative thoughts and forget about daily troubles, it's for the best.
I'll even give you that Avenka rare "wink" :)
Seriously, good luck Bahram, sorry to read this...
Key differance between Yazi and Bartan:
Bartan = Gentleman
Yazi = Hedonist
:3
LOL!!!
Anjali is confused as to what's going on, IC.
OOC, I find all of this quite funny and wonder what the heck will happen on their "date."
EDIT: I rolled a Cavalier once and she was much like Yazi in that she would flirt with almost everyone, guy or girl. Than again it was Jade Regent, so romancing NPCs was part of it.
