Sorry. I can't open map from cell, so I need to wait till I get to a comp before I can think on what to do.
Actually wait, I think we're still waiting for the spider things second turn before its my turn.
Wait till I get to a comp so I can open the roll20 map.
Now I know infernal healing is evil and all that, but since its currently the only wand we have to heal up, a necessary evil I feel it is.
I did not choose to find a CLW wand as Artirian has no UMD and would be unable to use it. In character, he knows he cannot communicate to Neve properly on when to use the wand, so it wouldn't be much good.
Sorry for delay, will get a "moving forward" post up tomorrow night.
Hope we can get past the language barrier soon!
Seems no one has posted in about a week. Everyone still about?
Its hard to participate in a conversation our characters know nothing about.
Seriously, I understand language barrier, but in PBP where things are already slow...it gets even worse.
My suggestion is that Aefpakka automatically translates everything they are saying(by GM Botting powers), and anything we are saying also gets automatically translated. Otherwise, since we don't understand anything and Aefpakka has not been translating, so we're in a clueless fog on what's going on and the game cant progress.
As the language barrier is not integral to the plotline at all, and is grinding the game to a halt, I am GM fiating it away with some nanite-like gas to make everyone able to understand one another, at a cost of a couple Bahgra and the matriarch escaping temporarily.
Hopefully that works for everyone.
So sorry, but I always tell my players plot needs to be pushed in order to progress, and if we need to wait for someone to keep translating, also its hard on the person who is supposed to be translating, unless he gives general statements like "I repeat everything x just said in draconic, galatic common", dialoguing everything out isn't easy.
I know there should be a language barrier, but on table its easy to say I translate x, on pbp you need to actually type out the whole thing.
I am going on a vacation for a week starting tomorrow! I think I will be able to keep up with a once a day pace but maybe not!
Oh, no, not AefPakka! :(
We might be joining him! TPK potential!
Get the last colour spray out and see if you can hit anyone - we can snooze up after this if there's an after.
If there is any healing that needs to be done I can go fiddle around with that infernal healing wand.
Yeah, these things are hitting a lot harder than I would have expected them too. And the dice are deserting me just now.
Sorry Aefpakka! Just when we would be able to communicate.
Should be back up to speed Tuesday.
AefPakka was never quick clicking and reaching his potential, so I'm ok with it. If the DM will still have me (I know I did have some lags in posting), I'd be happy to roll up a new PC. Got some ideas in mind, as always!
Good luck clearing them out!
Please, do work on another character. I hope this encounter doesn't lead to a tpk, but it is quite deadly, as the Bahgra just discovered.
Sorry about AefPakka's early demise.
No worries, his came by his demise honestly. :)
I'm leaning towards some sort of psionics, possibly a dromite soulknife or psion because I like those concepts but haven't been able to play them much but I'm wondering if the rest of the group has any opinion on gaps we need filled. I can come up with an idea for most whatever niche we need if there's any strong opinions on that.
Yeah, we weren't well-prepared for a difficult encounter, and we're paying for it. Or at least the Bahgra are. The fact that they get four attacks makes this pretty bad.
Sorry - had no clue they were undead - thus suggestion on colourspray.
Hmm... if a single Bahgra survives, it might be kind of fun for that to be your new character. The stress of this battle could easily be a reason to awaken some latent psionic powers.
Just a fun idea I thought I'd share, in case it struck some sparks for you.
I got a fun little sketch of Aurexil! :)
Noice!
Finally getting replacement PC set. Just wanted to double check - should I equip the same like this:
one minor magic item (valued at up to 2500 gp)
one masterwork item
3 other pieces of mundane gear
And I was considering a weapon from the Tech Guide in the range of that magic item price. Still deciding (cuz it's mostly for fun flavor), but would you be open to considering that?
Thanks!
Aurexil - I gave you 2 infernal healings - top yourself up to full.
Also - I vote to kill everything that we come across that tries to attack us.
Fraejia - from what you said in game - you do not wish to accept infernal healing - I will respect your decision, and not heal you, then.
Because - the implications are that Neve is out of spells so its either infernal healing or you get to go on with your current hp.
We have no wand of CLW. Did you think I was using infernal healing out of choice? At the time of item pick, I could NOT communicate with Neve - so I opted to trust my own abilities, then someone elses.
There's an option of fortifying up and taking a break, but honestly Artirian wouldn't care since he's not very tied to his spells, so he won't suggest it.

That will all work.
I'd like everyone to level up their characters at this point.
Oohh.. do we get all resources back or do we need to wait for rest?
I'll say you get your resources back. I don't see anyone resting for 8 hours; we'll blame the residuals of the nano-gas that let you communicate. Once you've escaped the prison, we'll return to a more normal levelling process.
Cool. How do we handle HP? 1/2 HD +1 or something?
Hit Points: Max at first and second levels, 2/3HD after that (d6=4,d8=5,d10=6,d12=8)
Very nice! I'm really glad that this game is picking up steam again.
Leveled up Neve
+7 HP
+1 Fort and Ref save
+1 BAB. I was actually gimping myself a bit as I thought I should have had 1 BAB but was going with 0 BAB for some reason, not that it would have mattered because I as firing into melee which is taken care of by...
Feat: Precise Shot. Now Neve shouldn't be so useless when her spells for day run out. Speaking of..
Get one more spell per day and one more spell known. Picked up Lesser Restoration to keep Neve a pretty nice support character. Open to other suggestions though.
Picked up the Coat of Many Stars revelation which is pretty much an enhanced Mage Armor
Skills: Added Profession Pilot and Georgraphy for Background, added survival, perception, Kn:arcana, diplomacy and bluff for adventuring skills.
I believe Aurexil is all done leveling up now. Nothing big--just more BAB, more points in the skills she already has, pretty much. Picked up Power Attack and Dodge.
Awesome! I'll get on it when I get home tonight.
Ah nuts, Will have to swap my revelation for Coat of Many Stars out, it's kinda pointless right now since Neve has +4 armor anyway... hrm...
Should I make my new PC level 2 or 3?
Three
Cool, thanks! Didn't want to presume cuz some people play replacement PCs differently. Hoping to have a quiet afternoon to get wrapping him up.
Fraejia - from what you said in game - you do not wish to accept infernal healing - I will respect your decision, and not heal you, then.
If it comes down to the wand of evil or death Fraejia will accept the healing it provides. It doesn't hurt to ask her and it's safe to assume that, if she is unconscious and dying consent is implied like it would be for CPR IRL.
Level up will be done shortly.

Aurexil-sorry you need to do the plot pushing but I can't see roll 20 on mobile which is where more often then not I'm stuck posting.
Aurexil *is* the sort to take charge. :D
Are Neve and Fraejia still about & around?
Around. Just no input in this situation.
Yeah, I'm still here. I've just been distracted by life and some of the other games I have that tend to move a bit quicker. I'm working doing better about my posting habits, I know I've backslid some.
And my apologies, I was all gung ho on my replacement character, then work got insanely busy, then I got pulled into being a replacement GM. BUT, give me a couple more days, and I can be ready to jump back in. Want me to PM you, or just post info here for your perusal and approval?
Sorry for the life of me for not inputing much, but I noticed that the roll20 map hasn't changed, and I can't for the life of me *picture* things or track where we are going without a map, and thus I can't input.
Yes, I am directionally challenged.
I think we're done with this room right?
I believe so.
