KC's Age of Worms

Game Master Kobold Catgirl

Reducing his heavy shield to a light shield would be a simple solution.

Yeah, I'm probably just gonna switch it for a buckler. Not being able to bash never bothered me, anyway.

(A light shield still probably doesn't allow casting, though the rules are a bit ambiguous.)

He could just leave his flail sheathed until he's actually fighting, and then just have the shield out and one hand free?

He had it un"sheath"ed when he was on the throne, but yeah if he had a light shield he COULD just put the flail in that hand while he cast.

No posts from KC until 9 pm PST today, I think.

I'm leaving for a three day camping trip tonight.

NPC me as necessary.

Yeah, sorry. Wednesdays are my "off" days now, thanks to my laptop being too broken to just cart around anywhere.

Working on a post now, while I get some dinner/breakfast/food...

Wednesday is also my longest work day, and I'll be getting more work next week :(

The downsides of batched "first come, first served" Initiative become clearer to me. =/

Um, guys... do any of us have healing potions? Or is Astraden the only one who has those things?

Because I kinda desperately need one right now.

Astraden has one, Robin has two, and Tanith has all the rest. I'm pretty sure we sold that particular necroturgon, but I am also pretty sure that Robin will have a move action to spare this round, so he can give you one of his potions.

I'd really appreciate that...

If Robin can't get that done maybe you could move to Tanith's current square. Tanith wouldn't take any AOOs for moving back, now, and you've got a better AC than him currently anyways.

And he's got potions.

e: Oh hey wait Farrukh, if you want to go help Tanith you could get there in a normal double move. Just jump off from where you originally started this round?

I did jump off from where I started this round. I landed on the ground, took nonlethal damage (and therefore fell prone) and used a Move action to get up.

It is 60 feet to the door (so I need to double move there), and then 20 feet to the nearest target.

Ah, I misinterpreted the arrows. You succeeded on your Acrobatics check though, right? I don't entirely understand the intentional falling rules but I asked KC when Astraden made that jump and he said to use the ones in the Environment chapter.

Yes, I succeeded.

I just looked back over them again and realized I'd been misreading them for a while. It does say if you take LETHAL damage, not just damage. Let me update my movement then, since I was not knocked prone or interrupted.

Yep, that would be the case.

Learned that from my stage dive earlier. :)

You haven't strictly been misreading them—the rules conflict a bit. Elsewhere in the book, it does just say flat-out damage. I'm thinking the ambiguity wasn't intended, though.

Wow... that's a lot of damage Theldrick's putting out.

Astraden, I know what I'm about to say is crazy, but it might be a better idea to shatter his flail instead of his holy symbol.

Well, a combination of late-night sleepiness and not knowing there was a second tab on the loot sheet caused me to kinda-sorta mess up my actions for Round 8. I tried to use a necroturgon that:

A) We already sold;
B) I would need a minimum of 2 rounds to use anyway.

So... would it be at all possible for me to revise them so they make sense in light of this?

You can add a move action, if you want. Most of your action was instead occupied chugging Robin's potion.

Thanks for being understanding about my silliness, KC. :D

So, I'll post here:

Round 8 Actions: REVISED EDITION (Now with new errata!)
Move Action: Move to stand over priestess' corpse!

Actually, if I made it to the stairs, would the flail stop swinging at me?

Nope. As long as he can see the weapon, it can attack.

Oh. Bummer.

Well, I'm starting to wonder: do we have enough resources to pay for a raise dead if we need it?

A reincarnate is 280 gp. A raise dead is 450.

Probably not. It's around 5k iirc. If I die I'd rather reroll another character. Now that I've seen how tough this AP is I think it'd be perfect for a synthesist summoner.

I have a favorite character who's a merman land pirate who uses his eidolon suit to give him land-legs. The most recent game he was in died, so it'd be fun to bring him back if KC would let me.

Resurrection is 910. True Resurrection is 1,530.

Scrolls will be x2.5 that, though.

What, it's that cheap? Damn. True Res is a 9th level spell innit?

The material component for true res is 25k alone, how could it possibly cost 1,530?

Oh, that's not including material components. My derp. Raise Dead is +5,000 in components, Reincarnate +1,000.

The material component for true res is 25k alone, how could it possibly cost 1,530?

Members of the clergy get certain...tax benefits. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Well if you're feeling faint, roll down my way and I'll get a potion in you.

Spellcasting

10 x caster level x spell level = 10x9x5 = 450 GP + 5,000 GP diamond dust = 5,450 GP for raise dead. And we need to find a 9th level cleric.

And we need to find a 9th 17th level cleric.

Yeah, that's the other thing I was about to mention right before I realized (ninja'd by you) that there was an important factor we were ignoring. :P

Well 9th level for Raise Dead, 17th for Resurrection.

I'm going to log onto GW2 for a while, I'll check back later before work.

Right, right. Thought you were just confusing spell level/class level.

Also, just FYI: Cuetzpalli will have had to remove his shield before grappling. If you don't have two hands free, you take a -4 penalty on the Grapple check.

K, he drops it along with his terbutje by his feet.

So, has anyone heard from Cow as to when he'll be back?

EDIT: Also, I think I'm going to need another heal potion.

I don't have stable contact with him, but KC will be home at around 2 pm PST today so he (KC) will be able to request a post then. If that doesn't work out I assume he'll be NPCed again.

Until I hear otherwise from the absentee Cow, I'll be NPCing Robin.

So, uh... anybody want to save me?

Please?

I'm sorry, I don't have enough movement. I don't think anyone else does either.

I don't think reincarnate is too expensive. If Carina dies, Astraden can sell off her pearl, which should be enough with Alessia's share of the loot.

Cuetzpalli's in less imminent danger, assuming the high priest wants to take actions next turn, but we could probably bring him back, too.

I'm very glad that Olidammara is not a materialist thief.

...I'd kinda like a raise dead if it comes to that, but okay...

I also think it'd be a good time for Tanith to get back up onto the balcony and help there.

Raise Dead costs about five times as much, is the thing.

Yeah, he still has a move action this round.

F**k you, dice gods.

No, seriously. F**K. YOU.

Yeah. They did not exactly cooperate today.

*sigh* Oh well. Guess I'll just have to wait to respawn then.

Actually, should we roll for what I'll reincarnate into now? Or something?
