KC's Age of Worms

Game Master Kobold Catgirl

I'm truly sorry KC.

Lots of cooking and baking today and yesterday, and I'm too tired to finish the post today. Tomorrow! :)

Oh, gosh, I only got a few hours of sleep last night. Gonna aim to get the actions posted in the morning, but in the meantime, I thought I'd sketch out a quick recap.

The party is here because the Order of the Storm, an ancient group that opposed Kyuss during Dragotha's war, hid Dragotha's phylactery long ago and you don't know where. The Library of Last Resort holds the secrets of the magically-wiped-from-history war, but the fey spirits of the Library want you to prove you can defend the secrets you'll learn.

You have to destroy the phylactery so you can kill Kyuss's mightiest servant, Dragotha the Dracolich, master of Ilthane (black dragon responsible for the worms in the lizardfolk eggs and for laying waste to Diamond Lake).

Dragotha also probably killed the hell out of Bucknard. Bucknard was a close friend of Tenser, and Lashonna, a noblewoman and ex-revolutionary of Redhand, was one of his only confidantes before he ventured out to investigate Dragotha personally. He didn't come back, and Lashonna has a personal score to settle against Dragotha.

These Vecnans? Aside from your old buddy Zyrxog, who seems to be investigating the Age of Worms just like you (albeit from a, perhaps less upstanding direction and with inscrutable motives), they don't have much connection to your problems aside from your immediate goals. You both want the secrets of the Library of Last Resort.

Nice recap, thanks.

I wonder if there's a "buff sheet" somewhere for PF1 that sorts all the major buffs into categories (like bonus types, extra senses) with simple check boxes next to the spell entries for each character, or something. My word.

I know you can do it with Roll20 character sheets but unsure if such a tool exists outside of the context of a digital tabletop.

Imagine a party with both a cleric AND a wizard!

(I am aware that the Vecnan squid fiend party almost fits this description. Let's just keep pretending that KC is talking about Astraden and Eben's buffs.)

*looks at extracts with profound sadness*

I'm in a bit of a downswing at the moment. All's well, but posting is definitely going to be slower for a bit.

I'm gonna try very hard to get the post up tomorrow. It's a big turn.

Sure, I'll gamble on my mirror images.

In regards to getting around mirror images/displacement before the next spell preparation, shutting one's eyes and using an action point to grab Blind Fight is still allowed, right?

Displacement is a flat 50% chance to miss, and mirror images make hitting even harder on top of that. But with Blind Fight and closed eyes you get that miss chance down to 25% and ignore mirror images.

Good idea, if that's allowed I will do that.

Yup, though you'll be unable to take AoOs until your next turn.

Which I just realized I forgot on the efreeti, even though I specifically made a note of it as something I needed to keep in mind. So that's 15 damage off the vulpinal, since he wouldn't have gotten an AoO.

If Astraden is dead, and Carina gets stunned, I'll allow Astraden to spend 2 Action Points each round to "extend" her access to Breath of Life.

I'll try to get up a post tomorrow--had a swingy day today.

Oh, geez, I must have messed up the dice roll orders with those additional clarifications while my half-finished post sat on the Preview Post page. The nightmare rolled very badly, and Darl's touch attack was, like, a 22, so that's why the post is the way it is. Don't worry about the numbers--it's all a wash, so I'm not gonna bother trying to fix it.

Oh, hey, it's our ninth anniversary in four days. That's pretty cool! Thanks for sticking with it. A year per installment average isn't so bad.

Granted, we finished the first chapter in a month, but it's not like the game has gotten simpler from there. In 2014, I was a part-time community college student. :P

I mean, your other AoW game is just over a year old and only just now approaching the end of Whispering Cairn, so, clearly you guys were just abnormal posting freaks back in the day.

No job and no friends helps. It really does.

9 years, wow. Time flies.

2014 I was still in China and kidless.

Thanks for running for so long.

Does the fact that Darl's body is currently being carried by displacer beasts mean it receives the benefits of displacement as well?

Hm... yeah, probably, similar to how Displacement still protects you from Sunder attacks.

Happy anniversary, everyone! Amazing job of GMing you've been doing KC. Thank you to all my co-players for good roleplay and wonderfully cheesy tactics throughout the years.

Tomorrow, my partner and I celebrate ten years together :) Funny that it is just two days apart!

Happy Anniversary in advance, then!

I'll try to post tomorrow--my new routine basically sets aside about an hour to see to PbPs, and today I had a big post for my other forum game.

By my count, you've got four villains, plus Clunk and (possibly) Krekie to move. Seriously, feel free to split that into multiple posts over a couple days if it would make your life easier.

I may! I often do an outline one day and write it up the next.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesss! That slight chance of deafness screwing up Zyrxog paid off!

Spell choice from two levels back JUSTIFIED.

I may need a couple days; it's tax season and I'm also dealing with a medication change that's making my days pretty swingy.

Oh, I guess this is a first for me--I lied in the opposite direction. Still, I'll probably be posting more like once every other day for a bit, at least until taxes are past and/or the ritalin's under control.

I said this on the Discord, but I've slowed down a bit lately due to some changes in medication and routine. I'll keep getting posts up when I can, and hopefully I can find my way back to a consistent pace soon!
