Kingmaker: The Stolen Lands [Gestalt]

Game Master Æroden

GM, in light of what Xantria brought up, may we place Torq's return with Lelouch on hold until we finish the War Party stuff. It may become relevant in handling the detaiks if his predicament.

I agree that we should get everything on a linear timeline and stop all the back and forth.. So we can wait till after the Tactics meeting to do that..

Yup I agree, everyone in the War Party get things done.

Xantria I don't see your post please post it again.

Which post was this? Last post in the discussion thread was yesterday, saying that my only complaint with how the game was going was all the jumping around between different points in time.

Granted, it's not as bad as Achron but at least that lets you purposefully cause a grandfather paradox. :P

I'm catching up now, finally managed to keep my eyes open. ><

Thanks for helping to finish out the War Party so we can all be in the same time!

Yup, it can become a bit tedious if we are not all at the same time, or even as a whole group.

Gd Internet went down, more posts this afternoon...gaaaaaaah.

Okay, I wasnt aware that the game was firing at full force again, am I still in?

Yup, just jump in Fionn, the game never rests. Though on the weekends we slow down quite a bit.

Yes, you've got some catching up to do. We had a big ol' war party with a lot of unnecessary planning. In your tent!

RARRRRRRRRRRR. RAT FRENZY. My internet was just down for like a week. *rage* Its fixed now. ><

yay. dont forget your spellcraft for dm

also dm i wanted to appraise the gems i have 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19, which i will split evenly with sly vik rekkla and myself and selena.

nothing against the rest of you but this was before you arrived

also i was looking at what we have

2 potions
3 wands
the vest.

I do not know if the vest is magical or not, but i think Fizzy would put it on prior to the moving on the bandits

Also he would have shared the 2 potions and the wands with the rest of the group in case they are useful for this attack.

Too bad, that was unfortunate Rekka.

go ahead and tell me what new curse i have.

No new curse.

No on the crystal sphere.

hmm kind of dissapointed that i do not have a new one...i am strange

ooo fingers crossed rekkla figures out the gem

Fizzy did share the other items with the whole camp, if rekkla did not figure them out. only the gem is secret

I am so pumped for this fight. I have heard so many times about how tough it can be!

So you wanted Rekka to share the items with the other members, if they are identified or not? But not the gem.

correct. the gem he is keeping for the fizz, at least for now. Since the explosion of the box almost killed them all he thinks that it is now part of the Fizz

Rekka feel free to offer up the items, possibly getting another to identify them too. While you are traveling.

I updated my new AC with Mage Armor and Shield added in my vital stats line for ease when you are making attack rolls with NPCs, blood. Is that how you prefer us to modify them when spells are cast, and then modify them back when the spells wear off? (Or are dispelled?)

I feel like we would have given Vik the potion of cure light

Probably Klaus the False Life

I think Fizzy would hold onto the hideous laughter, at least for this fight.

As for all the rest, other than the gem, everyone gets to try to spellcraft the other items.

I thought we had determined teh backpack was a bag of holding, but maybe i am making a leap because intellectually

Klaus would happily have taken a False Life wand and probably have used it before this battle, around the time he cast Mage Armor.

And also, Klaus will help identify the items that could not be identified, but after this fight.

yup the fizz is happy to help

Hey all. Just wanted to let you know that I will be leaving the game. My work schedule is gearing up for the summer and I just cannot keep up with the number of posts that are required for this game. It has be a lot of fun and I will miss being the Fizz Captain and protector of the Fizz Healer. Blood will either kill me off in a blaze of glory or something...I leave it up to him to decide. Best of luck to you all and I am sure I will see some of you in other games here online.
Vik aka Daniel

I never thought of that Klaus, yes that will work nicely. Thank you!

You know the bag is magical and guessed at how it worked, though it was never identified.

Vik will be missed, for the path of the Chosen can only be done by a PC. Let alone being Captain of the Fizz and a swordlord apprentice. Too bad. I hope that he sticks around for the fight. But I will bot him if it gets to his turn and he has not posted.

man! Maybe Vik will go off with the dragonkin on his path of the chosen.

Bummer Vik.

Well I guess that means there will have to be a new captain of the Fizz

I is ready for battle whenever lol..

Blood may do things his own way, Torq, but typically a surprise round is like the firsr round of actual combat, where everyone rolls initiative, but has an added exception: those being attacked "by surprise" must make a perception check against a certain DC (often the stealth result with modifiers of the attacker). Those who fail the perception check are flatfooted and also cannot take any actions in the surprise round. In some circumstances there may be multiple STDs; for example, in this situation, Torq may have a stealth check of 22. Fionn may have one of 8. If the bandit gets a 5, he can fo nothing. If he gets a 15, he can attack Fionn, but not Torq. If he gets a 24, he can attack either of you.

Note that in a surprise round, only one action can be taken: move, or standard, or swift, or free. Not more than one of those.

Way i understood his post is that they were unaware of us in the bushes, so thats already taken care of.. I knew you could only attack once in a surprise, so i figured a charge would be fine.. i see now that a move and attack isn't allowed cpet by dm.. I can retcon it into a hand crossbow shot instead, with drow poison on it to boot.. crit range is the same, so its a hit.. I'll just have to roll diff damage if thats what he wants todo..

Sorry I meant to do that, got distracted and forgot to roll the Initiatives.

Yup, Klaus is correct in the whole post.

ok ill reroll damage as an xbow and the guy will have to make a dc13 fort or nighty night..

Partial charge is a standard action, if you are close enough for that to work.

I don't mean to put a damper on your great attitudes. I am fed up being confused as to when PCs take their actions. This may or may not pertain to this campaign, I just want to make sure this is clear. Make sure that you label each post with Round 1, Round 2, or whatever round you are attacking in, otherwise you will forfeit your previous actions and I will take your latest post as what round we are in.

I think I might have to pull out of this game. As much as I want to continue (especially with those ridiculously-good stat rolls), I'm just finding it too hard to keep track of what's happening (probably due to the posting rate you were hoping for from us) as well as keep up with the posting rate due to timezone differences.

I'm sorry, I don't want to but I just can't get my head into the game properly. Do what you will with Xan, though if you need her stats I'd suggest copying them off her character sheet before I re-use it for another Kingmaker game (assuming one'll ever turn up again on Myth Weavers).

That is too bad, I am sorry to hear that. Please try to post your actions for this fight.

I have her stats.

Wow we are down to 4 PCs once again. Torq, Fizzy, Rekka, and Klaus.

The botted PCs are: Sajan, Fionn, Alexandra, Bearn, Vik, and Xan. I will not be adding anymore PCs to this campaign, we will see what happens, and when in doubt I have my backup plan still in place.

taking a class i am teaching on a field trip today, so will not be posting much all day, will try to check viao phone. Please bot as needed.

He will put up inspire courage if we did not get a surprise in the second rd. Otherwise he will heal her again next round, and use his hideous laighter wand to try to make the archers fall from the trees

What is your backup plan? Because I can see how it is gonna go with a party of a wizard, a bard, a rogue and a ratkin healer. :)

Trust the Fizz!!!! cue music

Hm. Also, I cannot access the Google Drive map from work, it seems. I may have to tinker with it later, but I'll be rolling a bit blind to the placements from work.

No worries I am used to technical problems, you ask questions and I will try to answer. It happens.

Ill be able to post when i get home from errands in a couple hours.. Am i correct to say were on round 2 now?

Right now I am wanting PCs to state again, or for the first time what they will do in Round 1. Feel free to post for round 2, though things might change.

I have Torq shooting one of the bandits, though I don't have a move action from you.

Super busy day here at work. Happens every once in a while. I'm actually attempting to upgrade the browser this comp uses so I can access the Google Drive map, but it is slow going. Lots of interruptions.

You know blood you could always gestalt the party to make up for our lackings.. I could pick up fighter to become the sorta tank.. The rest of the stuff were missing could be made up for as well.. Just a thought..

Oh, I like that thought, though if we do take it that path, I will be opening it up in game. You have lots of places to explore, and someone could take up Vik's sword if he is struck down and become the chosen... hmmmmm... there are many other options too.
