Iammars' Weapon in the Rift (Table 2, PBP Gameday #2) (Inactive)

Game Master Iammars

Sorry guys - I'll post an update tonight - I was dead tired after finally getting the last puzzle for the puzzle hunt I was working on last night.

I will be out for the next 4 days with no access to internet.

When you are back can I get a lesser restore, of Aroden? ;)

I don't think hedra can cast it.

I don't have this spell prepared, sorry

No worries

So I'm all like "Let's wait in the wall for a round and get the PCs attacking each other", and you guys are all like "Let's roll to act normally while he's in the wall." Geez, I just can't win... :p

least you don't keep rolling to punch yourself in the face.

Im confused GM.. I was under the impression from an earlier post that its AC was much higher, as in the lower 30's..

I did 4 straight full attacks on the circle Allip only hitting below AC 26 1 time and doing 339 damage to it..

At that time you said it had 51 damage taken..

I then had to full attack it another time for an additional 107 damage before it died..

Incorps take 1/2 damage so im very confused here.. 339/2 = 169 damage, not 51.. I mean do they have DR and Fast Healing as well?

Point is if i had killed the circle Allip quicker the square one would also be dead now..

I'm not 100% sure, but his last post makes it sound like the square one *is* dead now.

It's not. It's likely just healing itself before taking some more swings at us. If it means using up its spells and getting rid of confusion, can't say as I'm opposed to it. A round or two of respite!

Yes, it seems to be some sort of cleric and be able to heal himself.

Thats fine and all, but the only spells we saw cast that would heal it was some mass inflict stuff.. Nothing that would heal it from that much damage.. I mean at 1/2 it took 220 damage to kill the square one.. It didnt heal that much, so it either has DR or Fast Healing.. The DR i would have liked to know about since i have a lot of ways around it if i know about it..

The circle one is dead, and the square one is hiding in the floor for a round. (No reason to suffer attacks when I'm healing myself.)

There's no shenanigans besides incorporeal going on (and the fact that he keeps moving in walls and what not to ruin full attacks because Grimnir hurts him.)

Here's the breakdown round by round (adjusted for incorporeal):
Rd1: Grimnir full attacks Square for 12, 13, 14 (39S, 0C)
Rd2: Grimnir is staggered, single attacks Circle for 17 (39S, 17C)
Rd3: Griminr full attacks Circle for 15, 14, 16; Square + Circle heal for 17 (22S, 37C)
Rd4: Grimnir full attacks Circle for 14, 15, 17 (22S, 83S) Circle is dead.
(There is an extra full attack in here since I didn't want to reveal that circle was dead before the people who took their turn before Grimnir tried doing something, so Grimnir pulled the trigger on a full-attack that wasn't relevant to the combat.)
Rd5: Grimnir heals
Rd6: Grimnir tries to Ear-Piercing Scream, fails
Rd7: Grimnir moves, hits Square for 21. (43S)
Rd8: Grimnir full attacks Square for 10, 11, 11; Algar full attacks Square for 8, miss, 6. Square heals for 25 and hides in the ground (64S)

No DR, no shenanigans, but you have an extra full attack and a full attack that should've been a single attack accounting for extra damage in there. Just incorporeal and extra hit dice/class levels making this a LOT of hit points in one encounter (plus self healing and using strafing tactics).

(EDIT: That also explains the reason why we keep rerolling the ghostbane dirge save - it's the only thing keeping him alive right now.)

It's like we're playing Hard Mode or something...

We can't have that much more to go.

Any one making it to GENCON?

Unfortunately not this year :(

Our daughter is due mid-July, so that sort of eliminates the possibility of both Paizo Con and Gen Con. Hoping to get her into gaming so we can do Paizo Con for her birthday one year. =)

I'll be at GenCon, GMing mostly.

I am signed up for the specials as well as that 6-03 Saturday afternoon slot. It may be hard to get your table for the specials, I am not sure how they do mustering, but the 6-03 slot I should be able to.

I normally go to origins, as I had a bad experience a few years back at gencon that put me off of that convention.

I'll also be at Origins - I'm running Eyes of the Ten and Rats of Round Mountain.

MichaelCullen - Yeah, the mustering for the specials seemed rather chaotic last year. I imagine there will be only one mustering point for 6-03 though, so it won't be too hard to find me.

Sounds good, I am not sure which character I will bring to that one yet but it will be good. How have they done mustering in the past? Do they look more at level, class, role, experience, power level of the builds or just mix it up?

Usualy by APL range.

then players organize themselves to form a table.

you will see/hear people Shouting for: LFG cleric/mage etc..

A few times i even went sign a Sign hanging from my neck stating Character Name + Level + Party role / class

makes things go faster while LFG

Yeah, basically it's up to the players to muster themselves, then when you have a table you go up to the marshal and they will assign you a GM. Since everyone around you is looking to play the same scenario, it's usually not that hard to find a group.

Just as a heads up, Conline took more out of me than I expected, but I will be able to post after I get back from my gameday today.

you had fun?

Yeah - I just forgot how exhausting rats of round mountain can be to run. That series is brutal.

never heard of it... sorry :)

@GM : could the Archons charge the prisms while we figth the demons ?

If you tell them to do that. I forgot to add them to initiative, but they're going to be running in and attacking on their turn. If you want them to do something else, then ask them.

That's what I already asked them to do here ;-)

Ah. I thought you were asking them to take negative levels. They can't get the constant spells into the prisms since constant spell-like abilities can only be activated on themselves.

oh well good thing i have the fame / favors points to get resurrected...

Mr. Madison slowing himself to be coup'd changes the encounter a lot, and it's something that I don't have the mental capacity to respond to right now. (I've run 7 scenarios in the past 24 hours with no sleep.) Expect a new post on Sunday nightish explaining how the rest of the encounter will work. (With the shemhazian getting coup'd, it takes a lot of the urgency out of the encounter)

Throwin' wrenches into the works one soul at a time, wait till I get magic jar! ;)

I just wish we could have shut him down before Algar got hit. I wish we had a chance to see plant Algar.

Sorry it didn't happen Mr Madison...

Out of curiosity, what plant creature would you have been?

Shape: Saguaroi (+ Low Light Vision)

Thank you for running sir. Good job on running using a new format. Now go get some rest. (I don't do day jobs, and I'm not gonna buy anything this time around I don't think.)
