A tiny dot on the map, which could (barely) pass for "a normal country", and despite everything, considers itself part of Europe (well, at least geographically, we are) - Welcome to Serbia mate.
Oh really?! (owl face)
Finnish guy in "Deutschland" lol quite fascinating to see the game true. Going to sleep and looking in the morning at the post count... "oh good" so much to read and catch
Haterivet, if you're going to read my GM only spoiler and act on what's inside, please at least attempt a Sense Motive check against the rather meager Bluff score I rolled, as he's specifically trying to be discrete in his study of the walls.
Oopps mate, sorry my bad. Unrelated to Emilian's actions, I did plan to do more or less the same, and as you can see that I have used it only for purposes of describing my actions. However, I admit that it was not the right thing to do, and I do apologize to you.
If you want me, I can edit my post and insert appropriate Sense Motive roll in there, in order to try and "fix" things somehow.
Hey, I fully expect somebody to beat the pathetic Bluff roll of 9. Put a Sense Motive in and we're golden.
And if you were going to do it anyway, by all means. I don't have a monopoly on it. And I don't think either of us are finding anything with our amazing Perception rolls, anyway.
A "mighty" 11 on Sense Motive is enough, I hope? ;-)

Depends. Are there distance penalties for Sense Motive?
Kidding, of course. It's all good now.
GM, who all got in on the healing burst?
Barbarians lead the way!
Whew, answered them all. Emilian, I don't have a problem saying that anyone who posted they went through before or simultaneously with Gaza, was in the area of effect of the healing burst. So that would leave out Morgthar, Justified, and Quain. Haterivet didn't need it because he was unharmed.

Hmm. The channel is a 30 for radius, Gaza said she was specifically including Justified, and I believe she said she had channeled after the first fire blaster. That would make her closer to the start than finish. I want to suggest that Justified was indeed in the channel.
Lucendar, are you okay with players discussing ideas or strategies ooc that their characters probably would never consider ic?

I believe jump checks are a foot by every 1 you make and does not have to be divided up in 5 foot increments, but whatever makes the most sense to you. And since its horizontal distance the rest of the movement would be an arc from 15 feet up to the water covering a little more horizontal distance. Or at least that is how it works in the real world. I fully understand it can be different here.
You're not that high up so your horizontal distance won't be that much anyway, so it's just easier to say that your Acrobatics check is where you land.
By your explanation Lucendar, does that mean that I also got caught in the healing? How much if I did?
Everyone got 2.

Okay, you were included as well.

With a +4 to fort and a +7 to swim you might say this was Justified's challenge. Glad the swim DC was only a 10.
My fear was not the cold or the swim but that something nasty would be in the water.
I also have a small fear that there is an easier solution that is obvious to everyone else but I fail to see it. lol.
The gods of probability are not in my favor.
ITS ALL OR NOTHING!
Great rolls!
Not favored of the dark gods for nothing you know.....
Although his health seems to be suffering for it.
Nice rolls Justified, definately your trial. I'm gonna swarm over you and up the ladder when you pull me in to take first place if its still available though! :p
This honestly seems like an easy trial after the fire one took out so many people, something fishy is going on...
Just to point out, unless you're using a house rule, it's taking 20 you can't do when there's a penalty for failure. You just can't take 10 when you're under threat like in combat.
Hey, some of us need a first place finish in the hope of getting some healing. As emilian pointed out i should have actually made it across while everyone else was looking at the walls for handholds. :p
I took the leap in the hope of getting first place and scoring some healing but it didn't pay off, I'll probably just do the same on the next challenge. Didn't think justified would mind me jumping ahead of him so i can get back into double figure hp, but then i'm getting used to it now. :D

If the reward is healing Justified is giving it to you anyway even though he is down 2. But I honestly thought Justified has finished per the DM. Might be that I assumed something...
Either way, I believe the first two to finish receive a boon of some sort. My hope is that we will both be receiving something.
Aye, with luck we'll both get something. I just took a risk on a challenge that seemed quite well suited to high str high fort save types in the hope i could get a first place.
Mind if i had been on full HP i would have been first through the fire as well. Now i'm over though i wonder what comes next, Spring or Autumn, i guess we're doing the 4 seasons and we already know the final trial is combat.
I kinda hope spring isn't some kind of lightning storm, getting zapped would suck hard.
Actually, Justified has not completed the trial yet, since he is is only 7.5 feet up the ladder and has not reached the other platform. As for rewards, I modified it to only the first person (makes it easier to determine and less paperwork).
Justified, with Emilian reaching the ladder at the end of Round 7, that changes things because he's not going to want to remain in the cold water and risk more saves while you try to help Menas. So you either finish the climb then come back to help Menas or you let Emilian pass. Your choice.

Understand. I finish the climb, win the challenge, and give Emilian a hand up to the platform. I then go down to assist others if they need assistance.
I will be in the car for the next few hours so I might not be responding quickly for a while. And when I do respond it will be from my phone, until later tonight.
Could we get a ruling on taking ten? I don't mind not retconning it since i've had a few rulings in my favour already but it would be nice to know for the future.
It is generally available. It was not available in this scenario because you really wanted to get out as fast as possible since you were possibly taking damage every round so I could see it as being in combat.
Taking 10: When your character is not in immediate danger or distracted. You were in immediate danger in the freezing water.

I would think that once i had passed my fortitude save for the round that i was out of any immediate danager, but the ruling is fair and i have no issue with it.
If you want to spin it another way taking ten would trivialise the swim checks for any character who didn't have a negative strength modifier, so taking the option away just for that section is perfectly reasonable.
That was terribly nice of you, Cirnos.
Damn, now I'm in your debt.
Emilian's jump was of truely epic proportions, it makes the resulting swim so much shorter and easier. I was gutted by the number of times i failed to roll above a 3 on my swim checks, thankfully my fort saves were better.
Are there any long term ramifications of the swim or can we warm up easily on the other side while we wait for people to decide what they are doing?
No ramifications, you warm up pretty easily.
First, how far did my momentum carry me before I had to "crawl" the water?
Second, how can I go faster? Only 5 seems slow considering I have no resistance to my move, though I understand not going full spd.
Edit, oh I know I should "walk" on the water. Lol.
Since I noticed the were magic and not having trouble of any sort at the moment can I roll percetion to notcie the walls? Gaza would keep an eye on them haveing noticed they are magic.
Levitate:
You can mentally direct the recipient to move up or down as much as 20 feet each round; doing so is a move action. You cannot move the recipient horizontally, but the recipient could clamber along the face of a cliff, for example, or push against a ceiling to move laterally (generally at half its base land speed).
Now that's pushing off a solid object. This is liquid.
Don't have to read the spoiler but if you were curious why I asked.
Yeah I was just expecting 10 or a check of some sort because even though the spell doesn't move me sideways it doesn't present resistance either and water would be easy to clamber along since hand holds is not an issue and I don't have to worry about moving away from it.
Mostly I was just expecting to be closer to the front of the pack rather then the back is all.
But how far did the jump carry me before I had to start using the water? With no resistance jumping across should send me a ways before needing to use the water and I'm trying to get an idea how far that is, for now and for later.
Nvrmind my post about the perception check, I was on break and misread the post.
So anyone going in after Varos or you just watching him freeze to death? Lesson learned: People with no modifiers/ranks in Swim skill should not jump into freezing water!
Sounds like this is time for one of them HEROES to do something....

Hmm. I am torn. I want to move the game along, and IC Justified is glad to see the evil cleric drown. OOC I know that Haterivet was sworn to him and might act to save him given the chance. Haterivet is played by someone in Serbia and while I am not sure, I suspect he has been asleep the entire time that Varos was drowning.
I doubt it, but we'll see.
RP rule #472 Don't sleep while drowning. There's a cumulative effect there somewhere.
