I imagine with the holidays coming up we'll all be varying levels of Busy anyway. Things are definitely getting interesting though, excited to see what comes next.

Just as an aside, I am thankful for each and every one of you. Thanks for making my PbP gaming experience AWESOME!

I'd like to prepare our group for my upcoming trip and likely temporary absence from our game. I'll be headed out on our family holiday trip next Wednesday 11 December, and won't return home until 2 January 2020.

My internet connectivity will be OK, but my ability to post will be crimped. Do not rely on timely posts from me. I'll post once more in reference to this when I am officially on vacation.

I wish you all a safe and peaceful holiday season full of natural 20s.

Cheers,
Dink

Have a good time!

Have a good time! And a bit in advance, happy holidays to all of you!

Have a good time.

That's my last post until January, people!

(Almost) everyone demoralised and three bugbears swooping into attack amidst the chaos of the enraged Battle Market!

Until next time...

Happy Holidays!

We've got family in town and won't be posting for the rest of December. The first week of January we should be back up and posting, but it might not be consistent until January 6.

All the best!

And we hope you enjoyed your holiday!

Happy Near Year! I am returned.

Hi! Sorry for the delay. We’re back up and running now. You can expect my kids to get a post in later tonight (or tomorrow night at the latest, depending how the first day back at school went). Thanks for your patience, and I hope you had a happy holiday and new year.

Might not be active in the coming days, family situation. Feel free to bot me the second I'm dragging things down

All the best, Razif. Take your time.

Thanks for the heads up. Take whatever time you need.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! My family and I are appreciative of the great game we get to play together, and how welcoming you've all been. Thanks!

Also, my kids will likely be busy today, so they might not get another post in (other than moving along with Layaali) until tomorrow.

All the best!

Hi! We're moving. We'll be unable to post this week, will be in my new place by the end of the week, and will post as soon as we've got the internet up and running sometime during the first week of March.

Sorry for holding up the game, and thanks for understanding.

Thanks!

No worries!

Happy moving (as much as possible)!

Hope the move is fast and painless!

Sorry y'all. Work has been exceedingly busy this week. Getting an updated post up soon!

It appears that we will be best to wait until our Moving Squad is back online and in their new crib sometime next week.

I'll put the game in 'stasis mode' until then - no further time will come off your persistent spell effects.

Still awaiting the return of Layaali and the gnomes.

Hi! We're back up and running now. Thanks for your patience. The kids will be able to put in a post tonight after school, but yes, they're ready to move on up and fight and will hold their positions at the back of the group.

Welcome back!

Just a note: it was Razif (invisible) who was leading, not Drael.

Welcome back!

Welcome back, all, and thanks for the stasis chamber.

We continue our saga...

Awaiting Razif's move action, as well as Rab-rab and Min's turns.

Alright, so, I'm going to ask for some GM insight here.

I was looking for a way to put my move action to good use, and noticed that moving a heavy object is considered a move action. If that's still the case, I've got a couple of ideas, and I'm just gonna list them here.

If pushing the table is indeed a move action, I'd kinda like to try it again using my standard action (I REALLY wanna push over this table and rid these guys of their cover). I'll add a roll if this is allowed, feel free to ignore otherwise.

Otherwise, if it's a move action but I'm not allowed to attempt to push twice in one turn, which is understandable, I'd like to have the table-tipping be a move action, and then use Total Defense for my standard action.

Finally, if pushing the table is really only a standard action, I'd like to move eastward to the back of the room.

I’ve found a ruling on this:

“Manipulate an Item
Moving or manipulating an item is usually a move action.

This includes retrieving or putting away a stored item, picking up an item, moving a heavy object, and opening a door.”

So yes, you can try again and succeed with that natural 20.

Sorry for delay. Schools and stuff is closing around here and everyone's sort of grumpy. We haven't had time to get online the last few days.

No worries. Stay safe. The game is here. Both Min and Rab-rab scramble past their colleagues up the stairs. Min could do so quite easily with their spider climb spell active - I’d even allow Min a standard action in addition to their move (climb). Rab-rab on the other hand needs to use both moves to get up the stairs.

I'm sure he'll happily take that extra action after he wakes up in the morning! Thanks.

Min rolls his hands over each other faster and faster. "Kskooo kskooo!" He mutters over and over. Getting louder and LOUDER! Then he thrusts his hands forward and a beam of ice shoots out of his hands at the red gnoll!

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 3 = 13
Elemental Ray: Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I’ll copy and paste this to the gameplay thread. Why do you have the -3 to your roll, Min?

His status bar says he has 7 Dex damage. (Which I believe is accurate?)

That rings true. Sorry - been playing 2e recently. Spell attacks there aren’t subject to physical ability damage.

2e certainly is a different beast!

Sorry, I am too sleepy. I will post tomorrow.

Congratulations to Drael, Razif, and Layaali! You are now 4th level!

I would love copies of your 4th level character sheets, if you please. Also, I note that I don't have copies of the 3rd level character sheets from Min and Rab-rab. Could I get those as well?

You can send them to we.be.dunedinpfs@gmail.com. Thanks!

Drael HP: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Just peeling back the curtains on your GM here a little bit...

The song-and-dance with the key is purely a constructed story device on my part as the GM to ensure that everyone is of the correct experience points (i.e. level) to advance to the next section of the dungeon. The gnomes are a bit behind the rest of the group, but not far off from levelling up.

It's definitely not a slight towards the impact that Rab-rab and Min have had on this game. This game would be 200% less fun without them.

PLUS, I get to run some of the additional content that I've got - I'm swimming in potential side session goodness here!

Yeah that's what I figured, just felt like it merited a comment in-game.

Here's what I've got for HP totals and ability score damage at present:

Drael 19/32; -4 DEX dmg
Layaali 3/29 ; -4 DEX dmg;
Min 14/14; -7 DEX dmg;
Rab-rab 27/27; -2 DEX dmg
Razif 19/23

Resting for 8 hrs will remove a pt of ability score damage and of course, heal you your level + CON modifier in hit points.

The 19/23 should be before level-up, right? I leveled up and got a sweet 10 hp extra.

Ah, yes. You all technically will level up after a night of rest, but yes, that is correct, Razif.

I believe that's correct, Drael's hit points will also be increasing upon leveling up.

Layaali, could I please get your 4th level character sheet? Also, Layaali, could you get Rab-rab and Min's 3rd level character sheets for me?

I'll wait for those.

Yes, she will do it soon. Her vertigo is acting up real bad this weekend so she can't move much without getting sick.

I'll send you the kids right now. I might not have time to level up for a day or two, but will send you details as soon as I do.

Thanks. Take care of yourself - vertigo sucks.

Just waiting to see if anyone wants to do anything specific before going to bed (healing or the like). Otherwise, I will advance to the evening of this same day, after you've all had a rest (and regained your level in HP plus your CON modifier).

If Layaali has extra spell slots it might be nice to heal up beyond what we will get from sleeping, but otherwise Drael has nothing else to do.
