KC's Age of Worms

Game Master Kobold Catgirl

It's a Perception check, though for the record, I'm not giving you that trait bonus on it. :P

I assumed all the spell effects used by DoppleEben and the DoppleFather were all in our heads.

I thought ‘stick your finger in it’ was a standard safety practice.

I think my Perception is still a good 5 points or more above the nearest though. =)

If Cuetz hasn't posted in the next nine minutes, I'm just gonna take the obvious action and meatgrind on that guy.

Seems within the realm of possibility.

Did you guys enjoy the Drawception? We could start another one with more people.

Spiny is dumb as hell. He simply attacks the closest hostile looking/sounding thing until its dead, or someone uses handle animal to tell him otherwise. His full attack is macroed in my profile, you can just copy+paste it.

As far as resources go, I'm pretty much fresh as rolling out of bed. Fringe benefit of not actually playing my character for 3/4 of this adventure...

Anywya, got most of my spell slots available, plus enough action points that I can keep us hasted repeatedly even if Telakin winds up having a bunch of dispel magics at his disposal.

I'm also going to try and use Elaxan's rod for the next spell I cast (probably haste). If it's a metamagic (and I get the impression it is), then hopefully it'll be something useful.

So an explanation, for those curious: the reason ixiaxian was carrying colored water labeled with potion names was because KC wanted to give him options to spend a round not doing anything productive for the group. So theoretically, he'd just 'drink a potion!' and not actually be doing anything worthwhile. It was a very clever idea and I never actually used it.

That...is pretty brilliant.

So what did we eventually decide on loot/buffs for the big fight so I can mark them on my sheet?

I'm taking Gattel's +2 Chain Shirt for now, and the Expeditious Retreat thingy, and would like the Belt of Giant's Strength (to keep) if Tanith doesn't want/need it.

Tanith IIRC was taking most of the AC buffing potions.

What else?

Oh, and I'm driving to Orlando tomorrow to look at houses. May be able to post a bit better though. I got a tablet today (Had a free upgrade available for my phone, and the tablets were BOGO, so I upgraded t the Droid Turbo and got a tablet for my brother and I), with an actual keyboard as part of the case. Should make it a lot easier.

I'mma goin' to bed.

Carina's just going to hide behind Tanith and let Farrukh go first.

All Tanith's taking is the shield extract from Carina. Farrukh's welcome to everything else including the strength belt.

Anyone going to use either the shield of faith or barkskin potion? I don't think I need either; I'm not front line anyway, and between mirror image and dance of 23 steps I should be okay for whatever does wind up next to me.

Ah, okay.

Well at the risk of sounding greedy, I want to be buffed to the gills before we go in there. Now seems as good a time as any to use these potions. So Farrukh will take:

+2 Belt
+2 Chain Shirt
4 Potions (Expeditious Retreat, Invisibility, Shield of Faith, and Barkskin if nobody's using them)

You wanna feed Spiny the infusion of bull's strength while you're at it? Unless . . . Carina wants it . . .

And is there still a see invisibility extract floating around?

Pretty sure Carina drank that.

I can give Spiny that thing you said.

There's a potion of cat's grace as well, plus I can cast more if anyone wants it.

There were two see invisibility ones, though, so maybe there still is one. No idea who has it now though.

Yeah, pretty sure nobody else drank it along the way.

Carina definitely took one. If there's a second, Eben should probably take it (he has glitterdust right?)

Danke, I can't stop laughing at "wrestlers ruin wedding".

No, Eben is glitterdust free, for some reason. (I think this lack has come up before.) On the bright side, since these were the guys that kidnapped me, there should be some glitterdust scrolls turning up as treasure sooner or later.

What? Don't be ridiculous! Everyone knows doppelganger gear dissolves into shadow when the PCs pick it up. Except the clothes. Clothes is ragamoffyns.

Hm. How about McGuyvering a ghetto version of glitterdust? I drink the extract, if I see an invisible guy, I create a silent image in his space and have it mimic his movements. KC, is that amusing enough to justify abusing the hell out of the system?

Sounds legit to me.

KC you're supposed to be asleep.

Hm...you're spending your own actions to reveal him, so I'd say that's a pretty fair and clever use of the spells you have access to. I'd say the enemy's concealment would be reduced to 10% if you did that (accounting for some slight margin of error, since you can't possibly imitate their actions without some delay).

Oh, just remebered we still have an enlarge person extract. Anyone want that, or do we hold onto it as one last doppelganger-identifier?

Cool beans. Eben will drink the see invis extract.

Unless Tanith's going to try grappling the BBEG, I'd rather save it as a doppelgänger ID.

Farruk needs AC in this fight more than Reach, so I'll pass as well.

Do we still have an invisibility potion left? If so, Carina will drink it.

Yes, one invisibility potion for each person, and Eben cast vanish on Spiny.

Ohhhhhhh...

I'm getting anxious about this upcoming fight...

I can't move myself on my phone but I wish to be in the square just south of the nearest staircase.

Did I move ya to the correct spot?

Perfect. Danke.

:D

Perfect. Danke.

Yes?

:-)

Nice. Our first haste!

Would it be alright to assume the order was something like: Tanith, Eben, Farrukh, Carina, Spiny?

I mostly ask because it'd give Spiny and Farrukh more movement to get into melee this turn.

I hope so. I didn't figure anybody would be able to tell for sure what spells he had on, so Farrukh wouldn't know he had See Invis up, so the plan was 'Move to place, shank when he comes down".

With Carina's warning (which theoretically could have come at any time) the plan of "Move to place, sandwich dudebro between angry Kettite and angry dinosaur" seems much more likely. =)

If Farrukh makes his save, he can assume he had the extra movement granted by haste.

If he doesn't make his save, he can still have extra movement, it just won't be quite as relevant.

I'd poke Rynjyn on steam but I'm not at my computer.

I still haven't been able to get ahold of him on there, so I guess we'll wait. :P

He doesn't accept friend requests from reptiles.

I'm home now. Poking engaged...

Don't forget good hope! And the fact that he's allowed to spend your APs.

Did Carina manage to dispel anything obvious?

Last round, she dispelled his Bear's Endurance (determined randomly, since she didn't select a spell to target).

This round, she dispelled nothing.

Quick heads up, if he provokes from casting or something I AoO him with my shield and try to bowl him over.

I think RNGesus had it in for me during the fight.

And if he DIDN'T, he does now.

The RNG was pretty soundly in this group's favor this time. Almost every save was made, whether it came from a trap, a poison, or a spell effect, while Telakin kept rolling terribly on his temporary hit points and healing spells*. I'm actually almost a little bit disappointed, but it's like I said—I never know how you guys will handle a given enemy.

In this encounter, good strategy, good builds, and a few lucky rolls won the day, and that's generally the case. :P

*Assuming average rolls, Telakin lost about 38 HP just from his failure to roll decent Concentration/healing/temp HP checks. ;D

Praise RNGesus!

That was almost entirely Farrukh, Spiny, and Eben (via haste). I don't think Carina or Tanith ended up doing anything to affect him.
