If the scout makes more than one attack this turn, this ability only applies to the first attack. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability.

I've added the cash value of most of the gems, art, and other mundane items - a total of 4700gp - to our party ledger.

I did want to claim the circlet as Colwyn's new crown, so he can pass his coral crown along to Melianse.

I already have two rings, so does anyone else want to claim the Ring of Evasion?

I didn't put the items belonging to Numesti on our ledger because it seems like we might want to return them to his daughter (or him, if he's still alive).

Marten can always take magical hand-me-downs for his recruits.

Very hectic week for me. No update today sorry.

I already have evasion naturally.

So I have done some recaculating on my HP because it seemed awfully low and realized that it was when I looked back at all my HP rolls over the levels. I also realized I never accounted for the favored class bonus for my cleric levels so those have been added as HP as well. I really need a belt of con at this point.

I don't have any rings currently and evasion my help me survive the next cone of cone (if I can make the save that is). I could certainly use it until I find something more suited/we return to base.

I could make use of the cloak of resistance if no-one else needs it.

I have a cloak of resist already so sounds good to me.

We have 5 +1 rigs of protection so you can definitely gear some of your cohorts up as well

I can use one of those too.

I think it's great that people are claiming the gear. No objections from me.

HP: 1d6 ⇒ 2 (So, 4 plus my con bonus and fcb then.)

New exploit: Metamagic Knowledge. This grants a metamagic feat, so I've picked Piercing Spell.

New spells:
Hold Monster
Icy Prison

And the encounter with the Black Puddings has started NK taking ranks in Knowledge (Dungeoneering)

Zelera take the Ring of evasion, and one of the rings of protection if you want, Marten, feel free to take one for Yala (and assign the other ones to your cohorts as needed) I think everyone else has one.

Sorry, health is bad at the moment. Too medicated and sleepy to update.

Rest up, man.

Feeling slightly better. Hope to get moving after the weekend.

Arthritis has really flared up and the painkillers knock me out.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Apologies for my silence. I've had technical troubles the last few days.

Seem to be fixed now so normal service will start again Friday.

Nope. A door that well made is likely to be trapped in a place like this.

NK could try it with a battering blast spell.

But it's probably a moot point, assuming Colwyn decides to take 20.

I've included it here and there in posts over the years. In Colwyn's backstory, his former bandit gang members got him drunk, robbed him, and left him for the Restov guard to arrest.

At first he swore off his hard-drinking ways to ensure that no one would ever be able to trick and trap him like that again. Ever since founding the barony, though, his motivation for remaining sober has changed so he can be as capable and respectable as possible for the subjects suddenly looking to him for leadership.

Sorry, I'm running behind today. No update.

Can Waffles use his telepathy to see how many minds are on the other side of the door?

Alternately, can he communicate with the one mind that he assumes is there because of the rattling chains?

I don't want to dictate the party's actions in the name of moving things along, but my last post in the Gameplay thread is a good plan that I see for moving forward.

I think we agreed that Vibenia is first in the marching order? Unless we're trying to be stealthy?

So, did we want that silence spell up before going in? If so I'll cast it on Vibenia now and we can rely on Waffles to handle communications.

Kingmaker and Skull & Shackles both have the problem of having a party member who has a rank. A 'King' and a 'Captain'.

This tends to have the other players waiting for the rank holder to say what they are going to do, which slows thing down often.

If things are getting slow please take your action rather than holding back waiting for orders. :)

It's more I don't think anyone decision was made about it. Unless I missed it of course.

Marten is not a stealth guy, so he's waiting for stealth people to take the lead. :)

Yeah, Kingmaker's biggest flaw (and to some degree Skull & Shackles as well) tends to stall out if the designated Ruler/Captian's post frequency drops off for any reason.

Sorry about that, guys. I didn't even consider that my role as Ruler for the kingdom building might translate into being party leader, even if just unofficially.

I'll be aware of that going forward and try to be more assertive.

Those who aren't great at hiding should probably wait in the hallway until the trap is sprung. If he spots people when he's walking in he'll just haul ass back to his room.

Once he's compromised, we take him out. If someone can hold or otherwise block the secret door, his goons will have to come down the hallway single-file.

Once the fighting ensues Zelera will be going to the door to his room to try and cut him off.

GM DBH, can I get your ruling on something?

Is there enough room in this hallway that I could five-foot step beside yellow to also get within reach of green without incurring penalties for squeezing?


Are you sure you want to do that?

I want to make sure I understand the state of the battlefield.

So, other party members are fighting the baron in M40, right?

The NPCs in M37 and M41 are the baroness and Lady Maray, so they are not threats, correct?


Are you sure you want to do that?

You are correct. The Baron is still fighting in M40. Lady Maray is staying out of the way. The Baroness might have been woken up by the Baron's shouting.

The guards in the hallway are dead.

Sorry, too medicated to update.

Sorry for the silence. I'm on antibiotics at the moment for a nasty infection. They are working, but really knock me out. Only a couple of days to go so hopefully the infection will be gone and I can get back on my feet.

I also understand there's something happening in America at the moment that might be drawing some peoples attention. :)

Glad you're feeling better, DBH.

There's been a number of US news articles about how today's election is causing stress and anxiety in Americans. Which, I get, but I'm still surprised we're at that point.

Ok, end of a miserable week. I've finished the course of medication and am generally getting better. The infection is clearing up and is a lot less painful.

So I will resume posting on Monday. Thank you for your patience.

Our current withdrawal rate to convert BP to gold is 1,000 per BP, and our kingdom has 28 BP.

Obviously, we want to try and negotiate her down from 20,000, but I wish I had an idea of any non-evil alternatives.

The way DBH describes the wizard, Imeckus Stroon, he almost sounds like he'd be useful serving the kingdom somehow. I doubt he's trustworthy, though.

I was going to start talking about who should upgrade their cloak of resistance +1 to that +2 on the loot sheet, but it looks like Marten doesn't have one at all. Is that correct, Marten?

I am going to claim Lorentus' spellbook until NK has the chance to learn spells from it.
