Grats on the new job, but yikes what a shift!
How sturdy do the posts that the commandos are on look? If I hit them with the hammer would it be enough to cause them to wobble and make for unsure footing of the goblin on top of it?
Good question. The stockade is cobbled together from shipwrecks. It can't be too sturdy. I would say a blow to the post would cause a Goblin to make a DC20 Dexterity check or fall.
I am doing security at a refinery that is being built.
They don't have access to the net, so just giving the heads up that if I don't respond, feel free to DMPC me.
However, I will try to respond in the morning, and quickly before I head out for work.
@Brandark. Cool. And Congrats again about the job.
Chief Ripnugget would not have been able to use his Spirited Charge feat. I was rereading the Charge rules and became confused. The old a Charge must be in a straight line has not changed, just the clarity in the Pathfinder RAW. As it turns out Ripnugget could have reached Stone and made a standard attack in the route he took. Since he missed, there will be no need to Retcon the attack.
FYI. If you survive this encounter, ;), you will have enough experience for 4th level.
sounds ominous, but I for one am going to do everything in my power to survive. :)
As it is Valentine's Day, on this side of the pond, my wife and I will be going out this afternoon, then a dinner / dance this evening at the Grandview and we won't be coming home till Sunday late morning or afternoon.
I will not be bringing my laptop with me, so next post from me will be Sunday afternoon at the earliest.

Happy V.

not ghost sound?
Hit with a nasty flu bug. Going to try to keep posting, but if I don't tomorrow, you'll know why.
Get well soon. The party will be needing Garrath.
Just for fun, I set up a previous encounter in miniature. I recently picked up the Goblin Mutant miniature (Korvus). I was surprised by his size. Calene was in the party at that time. Can you pick her out?
Is Korvus Medium sized? Well as a mutant entirly possible!
Neat, and never really expected that. :)
Korvus is Medium sized, and truly not Small!
That is really cool! What tile system are you using there? Oh, and I should be back from the flu bug. That thing knocked me on my ass till about Sat night.
Those are Dwarven Forge pieces that I painted from the first Kickstarter. That and some various WotC Dungeon Tiles I used to represent the lids to the Zombie pits.
Kudos. I really like it
The party has seen Podthickle before. Can you tell me the post number when this little Goblin first mentioned his name?
The Goblin's command of the "Common" tongue is adequate to comprehend Lyr's questions. "Me Podthickle," the odd little creature says with a touch of exuberance in his response to Lyr's first question. "We be many," he says with pride to her second question.
9 Sept 2014. Dunno how to get post number. :(
Close enough! You win.
What's he win? what's he win???
Stay tuned to same bat channel. ;)
I probably win an all expenses paid vacation to THISTLETOP. . . . :)
Ugh...this is going to suck. I can't reach the bugbear this round.
No worries, the Bugbear has Brandark and Kelvin's relationship with the RNG.
Everybody, I have been really enjoying GMing this game. So much so, that I am actually thinking about GMing another. This week I received in the mail, the first part of the Giantslayer campaign.
I need your honest opinion. And don't worry about hurting my feelings, I am a big boy. Have I done a good enough job with this campaign to try another; or do I need more practice at it.
I will appreciate your honesty.
Stone, you stole my line as soon as I saw he was going to run another game. Can I play?
Mazra, you were actually the example I followed when I started my games too, so yeah, definitely start another game!
I have been enjoying the game, and I would love to be in another if you are running it. :)
Being honest, there have been a couple of minor things that have been missed, but they do not change my opinion that you are a good DM.
Besides, practice makes perfect. :)
Honestly? You have not only managed to get a fast paced game together, with nearly everyone staying, no small feat by itself, but you have found quite a few ways to make it stand out clean cut above most of the others I have played.
That being said, I would LOVE to play Giantslayer and I would love to try my sword and board dwarf!
In other words: Me me pick me!!!
Thanks, everyone. I would be honored if you could all be a part.
If Helikon picks a Dwarf, would that mean Mokshai would have to pick something other than a Dwarf? ;) Just kidding! We could have more than one Dwarf in the party.
Go ahead and submit characters here. You can discuss amongst yourselves what Classes and skills etc. to bring together in a new party. Same restrictions as the Burnt Offering campaign. I am going to need some prep time before I can make it live anyway.
That dwarf is ready, its a shield and axe ranger type. Strong tough burly.
Double bonus if you allow a 9th legion connection
What is a 9th Legion connection? It sounds cool.
This will be my char.
The 9th. Legion is a dwarven Faction, it is an army of lost dwarves fighting everywhere for dwarven communities under attack.
The 9.th
Here I see you stand from all around the world
Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
All are gathered here, victory is near
The sound will fill the field, the 9th. will never yield
We alone are fighting for Torag and our halls
We own the right to live the fight, we're here for all the clans
Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
Stand and fight together beneath the stonen sky
Warriors everywhere - raise your weapons into the air
We're brothers, brothers of the 9ths
Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die
We're brothers, brothers of the 9ths
Many stand against us, but they will never win
We said we would return and here we are again
To bring them all destruction, suffering and death
We are the hammers of Lord Torag, we are steel, blood and flesh.
There they wait in fury with swords in orcish hands
With dreams to be a supreme, first one should be a man
I call about and charge them all with a life that is a lie
And in their final hour they shall cry mercy before they die
If I should fall in battle, my brothers who fight by my side
Gather my shield and weapons, tell my family how I died
Until then I will be strong, I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way will die by steel
Warriors everywhere - raise your weapons into the air
We're brothers, brothers of the 9ths
@Ulfgard - What is the benefit of being in the 9th? Also how did Ulfgard in remote Trunau hook up with the 9th? It sounds too cool not to allow it, but I would like to see how it fits.
@Everyone. If you are interested in playing, and haven't already done so, I recommend downloading the Giantslayer Player's Campaign Guide. It is a free download.
Obviously traits in this guide are acceptable. Traits from other APs not acceptable.
I will post it when I get home, it is mainly some extra training a titel, access to dwarven weapons and armor at a small 10% discount for oneself.
To why here. There are some major dwarven citys close and Ulfgard moved here some time ago to pay a debt of honor. And if some major danger starts to lurk the 9th would like to have eyes and ears close to the danger. Belkzen is a major threat to all dwarven citys close by.
