Mazra’s Giantslayer Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Mazra

Ah, exactly Ulfgard, I feel the same. And there are so many APs out there I haven't played I think I have enough to enjoy for many years to come without the need to switch systems.

Agree

Giant’s Nail Scale Mail

Any creature of the giant subtype who comes within 30 feet of this +2 giant’s nail scale mail must succeed at a DC 16 Will save or take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and saving throws for 1d4 rounds.
This ability functions as a gaze effect. It is a mind affecting fear effect, but it does not stack with other fear effects to create stronger fear conditions.
A giant who succeeds at the saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours. If a giant rolls a natural 20 on its saving throw, it becomes enraged by the sight of the armor. The giant gains the effects of the rage spell for 1d4 rounds and is compelled to attack the armor’s wearer for the duration of this effect.

Just putting this here for a reminder.

It is interesting that you mentioned this. I have been trying to remember this powerful affect. I actually went through the saving throws and rolls with the giants on my previous post, then looked at the map. Haskyll was beyond 30 feet. I ended up deleting all those saving throws. But thanks for the reminder. I need that help.

I will try to recap activity this weekend.

So giants speak basque? OK.

I guess that needs an explanation. I hope these short videos talk by themselves:

I like the fact we had the opportunity to unveil a bit more of information about what the Giants are doing. I am expectant to discover what is their agenda.

It's good we are not bogging down with moral discussions on each encounter but rather quickly moving through the adventure, but I think it is good we have something like this from time to time, I appreciate how Mazra profits the opportunity to provide context and reasoning to what is going on behind the curtains.

I've seen what happens when the prisoner dilemma strikes. The arguments are long and annoying. Better to just play through.

Agreed, just playing through works.

But, as a follower of Torag, my view is a good enemy is a dead enemy.
even more so if it is one of the races that dwarves do not like.

But I will always honour deals made.

@Leira- An Engulfed player immediately receives the pinned condition. When you make an Escape Artist check you move to the grappled condition. So instead of being a distance away from the slimy mess, you will be next to it, and with the grappled condition. In my honest opinion, the Engulf rules are a little broken. I moved your token next to the slime.

That's fine!

I was wondering the same. I checked the engulf, pinned, grapple and escape artist rules but could not see anywhere what happens when you escape a pin, if you effectively are free or just come back to grapple. I found nothing saying you change to grappled so I just assumed you are free.

EDIT: I just happened to find now this FAQ saying you are free. I guess the move back to grapple was something from D&D 3.5 we still have in the back of our minds. I am fine though to accept the ruling and keep things moving.

Go ahead and put your token back where you were. The rule may have been from 3.5. I still get them confused. I disliked grapple in 3.5. I dislike grapple in Pathfinder.

EDIT: Here is where my confusion came from: Escape Artist PFSRD

Kaos, remember you have the true love locket and can borrow Leira's Escape Artist +15 for a total +31 on the roll.

Good point and I may have to use it but I hope the 30 something I rolled will be enough for now.

Kaos, you could probably make it with her help on the love locket.
That will save the spell for either Ragnir or Ulfgard, if Neither of them can make it.

Side Note.
DM, I will delay, until I can see if who gets out on their own.

Actually the spell is the reason I'm getting the second ref save. Unless me first roll gets me out I need the spell. What is the DC?

Sorry I have been so slow on posting.

Life seems to have a vice grip on me at the moment, and the only time I seem able to post is while I am at work.

Plus I am changing positions at work as well.
So I am sorry for the slow posting rate right now.

It's cool life will do that.

Life will indeed.

Indeed. Just got sacked on Friday.
But I have a meeting with a lawyer on monday.

jeez, ulfgard, hope it works out.
btw, whoever moved my figure, thanks. I was on a phone when I made my action

Sorry to hear about that Ulfgard. Never a good thing. I pray that you quickly find a new and even better situation.

@Anga - I moved your token out of the cloud. Those that remain in the cloud must make another Fort save.

Really Crappy thing to hear Ulfgard. Hope that you get a better thing.
I could not move far enough and get that spell off.

But I trust Torag to help me through it. However, I don't trust the dice for that. :)

That sucks Ulfgard. You will find something better now.

Thanks. I already sent a few applications. But I am no 24 anymore.

It sucks Ulfgard. I have been there.

But it might move you to a better situation. Sure. It largely did for me, and I am grateful for how that situation made me move on forward.

I totally forgot that several party members would have been diseased after the Benaioh fight at the Shrine of Fandarra. However, between Haskyll, Ragnir, and Droja, it is very likely the matter would have been quickly resolved by morning.

Figure that each of the healers have one less 3rd level spell in there repertoire for the current encounter.

Will call the blank spot I always leave for contingencies as used in cure disease.

Will that work ?

Yes, that is OK.

Treasure Sheet up to date, with no one disputing Ulfgard, he gets the Amulet of Natural Armour +2.

Rest will be stored until we return to town.

Treasure Sheet up to date.

Haskyll you should add the Arm to your loot as artifact too, like Agrimmosh.

Waiting on Anga, as she could potentially end the encounter.

Apologies for my tardiness, but the final week of uni and a bit of flu has taken its toll. Back on deck now.

Great to have you back. Hope you are feeling better.

Why is it, whenever you think you are getting ahead, things turn around and bite you.

Got to replace the hard drive on my desk top, so posting from work still.
problem is every time I have enough, something pops up that eats that money up. :(

That's what happens. Sorry

Planning an infiltration is always difficult, it seems even more so on PbP :p

After a full rest Leira could cast 3 extended spheres of invisibility for a total 48 minutes. She can also share the spell with Anga for even longer time. We can try Droja's plan until we are close enough.

Still we have to leave the mule somewhere safe and with food.

Good idea. Even dimension dooring without invisibility would likely work. We would only be between jumps for a round, then leave. Once at the target we enter.
But that could be a backup. :)

What are you doing with the mule?

My thought was to stage it in the temple with lots of food,

I might be overruled by the party though.

Aye that was the plan.

Unfortunately, the problem with that plan was the nearly full day journey back to the temple. So, I have provided another alternative. :)

Yes, I also did understood we had changed our minds in the end because the temple was too far away. Sorry if I had missunderstood and pushed too far.

It is OK. Its the travails of this method of playing the game. But even in ftf disagreement can create interesting situations.

Sorry I wasn't on, as my Significant other and myself decided to go an tie the knot over the last few days.

Flying trip to Vegas, and we are now Husband and Wife.

Once again, my apologies for not being on, but we kind of had other things on the go.

Congratulations that's way more important.

WHoooE
Congrats man!
May your first child be a masucline one. ;-)

Congratulations! I know you have been heading that way for a while. May your nuptials be forever!

That's a remarkable event. Very much congrats man! I hope for the best to you :)
