I have enjoyed Stigly's madness so far, but I think it would be best if it "tones down" them a notch or two.

Interesting. I thought all summoners had access to the standard action cast. I would look into it, unless I'm missing something.
Here is what I found:
Starting at 1st level, a summoner can cast summon monster I as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. Drawing upon this ability uses up the same power as the summoner uses to call his eidolon. As a result, he can only use this ability when his eidolon is not summoned. He can cast this spell as a standard action and the creatures remain for 1 minute per level (instead of 1 round per level).
You're archetype allows you to have a weaker eidolon but have a summon out same time not changing how the summon works I believe. I could very well be missing something.
Torphrex: I think you need 3 "ranks" in acrobatics for that bonus to take effect. While your bonus is +7 you still only have 1 rank in it. Again I could be wrong.

Torphrex the Clever |

No, you are completely right... sorry.

GM Jol |

Yulantegoni, is that you not playing anymore? I hope that's not the case, as I enjoy having you a part of the game. His character quirks here aren't doing anything game mechanically and helps put more things for other character to play off of, even if it with contempt in game. If it isn't enjoyable for you I do apologize, but I have a better idea of Stigly's character than anyone else. As long as he's not doing things to purposefully sabotage group, I encourage that kind of play.

Stigly the Divine Diviner |

Given that he are all level 1, and have somewhat limited experience. I don't think it is fair that any of us assumes that we are dealing with a necromancer or undead yet. To my knowledge the only undead creature we fought so far was a vargoille, and none of us identified it as a vargouille or a zombie.

Torphrex the Clever |

Torphrex is being "clever", assuming what they are up against. You are right we don't really know.

Torphrex the Clever |

We have been very quiet lately... What now?

Torphrex the Clever |

I would very much like somebody healing Torphrex...
And if no one complains, he will execute the Tengus.

Laknir Kii |

I would very much like a full party actually.
Also, I as a player have no problem killing the tengu, but Laknir would. Maybe a healthy debate in draconic would be a good way to settle?

Torphrex the Clever |

What about trying to recruit a replacement(s)?
Maybe from the old recruitment thread...

Laknir Kii |

well we are now down 2. How do you want me to proceed? I can try to find someone, I can bot one of the PC's, if you guys know someone they could join in. Or I can try to recruit someone. Open to suggestions.
Sent you a PM. But we can't reasonably expect to get through half or more of a dungeon with a weak melee guy, a rogue with no sneak attack, and a caster cleric half out of spells. All of whom have con penalties.
Edit: Added quote to clarify.
We can also just re-do recruitment too. Just let em know it won't be a 100% serious dungeon crawl, for safety this time.

Torphrex the Clever |

4 is enough, 5 is better, as Laknir said

Stigly the Divine Diviner |

Stigly will be happy to heal Torphrex, and Stigly also wants to execute the tengu. But a debate in game would be good especially while we wait for more players.
How wounded is torphrex? I see him at 9/9 on his quick stats.

We have 3 in game days to finish this mission. I don't know how long the dungeon actually is, but we don't have to do it all in a day. Resource wise though Stigly has 2 more spells and 3 more channels.
In any case I agree it would be nice to have one more party member.
Torphrex the Clever |

My bad, he is 2/9 HP

Torphrex the Clever |

They will be easier to will before the channel, don't you think?

Laknir Kii |

Hmm probably should channel then. Probably I'll have Stigly do it after we have discussed whether we are killing the tengu in game. How is Laknir doing on health?
Laknir has... not actually been attacked yet if I recall correctly.
Although one's unconscious, the other is only half tied up and terrified. Not super threatening, but I don't see Laknir being willing to help execute unarmed prisoners either. So, worth keeping in mind that you may not have his help depending on how things go.
Huh. I didn't even notice Torphrex is LE until now.

Torphrex the Clever |

That is good, it is not something he wants everyone to know.
Yes, we tie them up, and then Torphrex will slip accidentally, cutting their throats in the fall. ;)

Stigly the Divine Diviner |

Stigly would feel justified in executing them. They did just attack the snarl.
GM What kind of check would you like to determine how Koba Jol would deal with these prisoners should we take them back to the snarl?

Keep in mind we're talking about executing unarmed prisoners who's crime was stealing a small amount of gold, which they've given back. It's been established that they did not take our eggs from what I can tell. I could be wrong of course.

Torphrex the Clever |

Keeping that in mind. Torphrex is evil, so he thinks the best way to deal with invaders and thieves which he cannot enslave is to kill them. Tied up if possible, so they can't defend themselves.

GM Jol |

Not that I want to influence any decision but I do want to point out that often times "good" people executed enemies all the time. Talk to soldiers from world war 2. Unless they captured whole divisions often the common grunts would kill enemies who had surrendered because they didn't have the time to take them back to an officer of proper rank to process them, or they couldn't take the risk of the prisoner escaping, giving away position etc. just like to point that out in the whole good vs evil debate when dealing with prisoners.

There are dozens of threads arguing this point, so I'd rather not spend so much time with it. All I mean is that good and evil are objective forces in pathfinder. Also, of all the gods to pick for a character up for executing people, sarenrae is the worst fit. Torag? cool. Ragathiel? also cool, both of those are good aligned gods too. An evil one? Makes sense to me.
Edit: Although seriously, did they actually take the eggs or not? from what the one said it sounds like they didn't.

Torphrex the Clever |

Well, the time for arguments is over. Torphrex will execute them, and let the group move on to find the eggs. Sorry.

GM Jol |

I had a great mental image as someone looks completely confused, "Who talks about order of dying?" And Torphrex very casually: "Stigly does".
Nerd moment aside:
you guys have the description of the hallway and alcove from earlier, do youw ant me to repost? also Draah'Zhin, we're using roll20 as a mapping software, not absolutely necessary, but it helps a bit with positioning of characters if you enjoy that sort of thing and a visual to go with the descriptions. If you want to join up with that you can pm me your email and ill add you up on that.

Torphrex the Clever |

Hello? Is there anybody out there?

Torphrex the Clever |

We need to get a rhythm... have more frequent posting, and more "substantive" situations to deal with.
Push us forward...
I think.

Torphrex the Clever |

What I normally do is that if the players don't post fast enough, their characters stay idle, or do thinks "not relevant" to combat and move the round forward.
That makes the late ones try to move faster. Because if you wait for the last ones, you make the fast ones slow down.

Laknir Kii |

Doesn't stigly have ranged attacks? They're fire and hit touch AC. Wouldn't that work better than switching places in melee?
Edit: Also I would not recommend skipping players turns for not posting fast enough. They might have a private/family emergency, or be sick or any number of other things, and it would be insulting to just skip them for it. Instead, I would just have them do whatever I think they would be most likely to do that is also relatively simple to adjudicate. This way no ones being passed on or ignored for reasons we can't really know.

Stigly the Divine Diviner |

Stigly isn't so good at ranged into mellee. By using shifting and delayed actions we can both attack every round. Plus at some point it might be nice to get in next to torphrex so i can heal him.
