1 shot, Serenity Hollow (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

I'm fine with this end. 40 ft is about 4d6 damage, which they should survive it - Especially since Belegar has more then enough time to CLW himself. The more important part is that they are out of the creatures reach - so if it wants to hang around it can continuously keep getting shot at.

I noticed the dmg was a typo. It was 18, instead of 8.

Boys, you better deal 10 more dmg, or the tree will make another victim.

Boys, what'll it be?

So...about ready to join in?

I'll get that larger post tomorrow, since the team will find the gem for the witch.

In the meantime, Belegar, Jurgan & Vaunu, what questions will you ask the witch?

Thandir, Uke, the stage is yours.

A hollow roaring of a large cat is heard, along with a frantic battlecry of a man.

Near Alluriel, the figure of a man wielding a greatsword, as well as a spectral cat resembling Shadow, manifest.

As Alluriel is tossed away from the tree as if by unnatural force, the two spectrals make a fanatic charge, plunging their spectral weapons into the tree, and a twilight glow comes from it, like a great domed pulse.

Heh, I'm guessin' that Norde or one of his freed horn brethren got to go and help save the day with Shadow? ;)

Ok. Then perhaps you'd recognize one of the five of the council.

Similarly, names of cameos/references, may not always be spelled as the original, but by sound could be the same.

Heh, it wasn't quite as obvious in the recruitment thread but looking thru the game-play thread helped out a lot since last names were given as well, in this searching for "evil in all the residences" that the town council, especially that shady alchemist, wanted the party to look into. ;)

Thandir, Uke,

If any of you two have questions that you'd ask the locals, while the others are fighting here, you can spoiler them here.

The current PM system after the site reboot leaves to be desired.

I'm guessing that they both just got dropped off and haven't seen the town council yet when the others happened to return?

Off the top of my head, not a whole lot springs to mind at the moment... maybe Uke would ask the locals where their nearest holy shrine was and if they somehow did something to offend the local spirits because of all the misfortune that the town has experienced? ;)

Otherwise, would it be fair to say that physical descriptions of the other party members were given to Thrandir and I?

If they're dead and wanted to haunt a young woman, then maybe so? :)

All right, since everyone's in, this is truly good bye, though I've not really been very much here since quite some time back.

All the best!

Bye Mort!

Likewise Mort, take care.

So, the party is looking pretty good right now.

Samurai, Warpriest, Skald, Wizard, URogue. Very balanced, and front liners can make good use of inspired rage.

Now, we have 2 people who can heal. I've got 5x lvl 1 spells, 4x lvl 2 spells, and 4x fervors.

Belegar has 5x lvl 1 spells.

We will, however, burn through all of these pretty quickly. I, especially, can burn through fervors and spells pretty quickly being a warpriest.

Does anyone have a wand for CLW? If not, anyone against pooling our money to buy one?

Jurgan will put up a fuss but he'll contribute.

You know...I’ll make this easy. Won’t have my wayfinder and Ioun Stone, and will buy a wand of CLW. Will get character sheep updated

Take care Mort.

Vaunu will chip whatever part of the group take is his to a wand.

And to you, as well. :)

It'll take a bit of equipment rejiggering on Uke's part but he doesn't mind contributing (150 gp each from everyone, I presume?) in case you want to change your character sheet back. Or possibly it could be made into a requisition request from the party to the council. ;)

I'll put in for a wand.

Belegar, can I get some of that rage song?

+2 Str, good-aligned and +1d6 dmg vs. evil outsiders? Thandir would be much appreciative of that.

Battle music for the encounter :)

Well, that's very pleasant, and a little creepy...

You're fighting an undead woman with her lower half missing, it aught to be a little creepy.

Speaking of which, i'm a bit surprised Thandir doesn't have knowledge religion as a trained skill.

An oversight on my part...to be rectified at lvl up. :(

The game was based upon 5th lvl PCs.

However, if you want to enter the final area, 'The Estate Lost in Time', at lvl 6, i'll make a few tweaks here and there to the encounters.

Heroes overcome great evil, after all.

Leveling up is always fun. So no complaints from me there.

Though...if you’d allow it I could move a skill point from intimidate to K-Religion?

Sorry for being out: inspection at work

Hook, Grappling

Throwing a grappling hook requires a ranged attack roll, treating the hook as a thrown weapon with a range increment of 10 feet. Objects with ample places to catch the hook have an AC of 5.

So in theory, Vaune can throw his grappling hook and rope at the undead and try and drag her to the ground?

While i normally would say no due to it's used to anchor in terrain, i'll say you can try, per rule of cool, but vs regular AC. Dragging her down, which is likely your intent, is going to be opposed str checks to pull 5ft.

if, and that's a big if, Vaunu can actually hook her, he will let the others pull her down :-)

Assuming she doesn't manage to sunder the rope 1st. ;)

Thandir, you typed the damage is good aligned from rage.

Unless i'm missing something, the only rage you get is the inspired kind, which doesn't give weapons holy properties.

Special oil, smite, align weapon spell would work.

Btw Uke, how would your PC know you need silver or holy weapons?
Edit: All-tools, as far as i've seen them in action, are small tools, hardly 15ft long ladders. :P

Just reread it. The inspired rage rage power only works on melee attacks.

Hmmm...maybe I could throw Vaunu? The ultimate sneak attack

I don't know if he'd like ending up with his head in a bloody mess.

Belegar’s rage song makes melee attacks good-aligned and do extra damage vs evil outsiders.

Lucky girl..

The silver part was more from seeing how effective his katana attack was; think someone else bought up holy weapons though- Uke mentioned enchanted weapons... although now that I thought upon it some more, it does seem kinda dubious for Uke to bring it up like that.

On the other hand, one type of "Marvel No-prize" style of answer that comes off the top of my head for why Uke mentioned "enchanted weapons" along with silver is that Qadiran Silversheen is known to be unrustable, so that sounds kind of like "enchanted magic" to him. Heh, not sure if you'd wanna buy that though as a suitable explanation.

And no worries on the All-tools- figured it'd be a bit of stretch there. ;)

I've seen them used as crowbar and a hearing piece thus far. :)

That big horn thing they put to one's ear.

Anyone have another knife Thandir could throw? Otherwise I don’t think he has any chance of hitting or doing any damage

Do I get an AOO?

If you have a 15ft pole... otherwise it'll be tricky making an aoo against something in flight like that.

Are you carrying a heavy prayer book?

Sadly, no. He’s not much for reading. He has a fighter’s kit, but with Dex12, 3/4 BaB, and penalties for improvised throwing weapons...I don’t think that he is going to be hitting anything without really good rolls. He’ll try...but yeah, didn’t really plan for ranged combat or flying enemies.

Apologies for the radio silence these past couple of days- had no internet access during that time; am glad to be back and will have Uke being active again. :)

recap: The woman is still flying. Our skald is dying. We are contemplating going inside for a drink ;)

While you get a soda for the nice rhyming, the bard's not yet dying, his con dmg is well away from his con score.

..going inside for a drink & flirting?

I am really tempted at this point to just throw Vaunu.

I did this once with a character in PFS. Was playing a half-orc barbarian. The enemy crawled up a wall and we couldn't reach it. So my character grabbed a gnome monk and threw him at the enemy as an improvised weapon. Missed. the gnome bounced off the wall. Good times.

Anyways...Vaunu has a good enough reflex save to avoid the worst of the damage. And besides...what if it works? ;)

Ever seen this feat?

Yeah...good for truly squishy characters. But really needs party approval...

I recommend using it with minions.

Before Uke goes to climb the house, would it be okay for him to hand over his kunai and sling bullets (the sling itself should still be around the ground where he dropped it) to Thrandir?
