MiniGM's Legacy of Fire (Inactive)

Game Master Vuvu

I thought a one liner! I was stealthed!

well you want a bonus speak up!

MiniGM, if you're going to continue to use numbers to represent enemies, can you provide us with a key so we know what enemy each number represents?

left side of the map

:)

Ah. My viewer didn't show that far. Thanks.

But who has a quickened burning hands, seriously?

sorcerers

Let me rephrase.

Why the hell would anybody waste a 5th level spell on quickened burning hands, that did essentially negligible damage? Even on a failed save it was pitiful.

Well, at a guess, elemental sorcerors have it as a bloodline spell...

honestly, cause at least he did something, he couldn't do anything worthwhile and get out of the way, better do a little damage he figured

You can detect evil on a person or object as a move action seif.

Perhaps now you can keep our poor barbarian from dropping stone dead when he calms down

don't have the foggiest what Zephyr is getting at. Very excited to find out

I was going to send my familiar up to grapple the spellcaster.

oh in that case you should know that he does also have claws

Ah, thanks. In any case I opted to just attack normally this round.

so you take half the damage your familiar takes, or the familiar takes half the damage that you take, or both?

I take half of his damage but he’s got really good defenses so it’s usually not much of an issue.

The drawback of not having high level spells. We can't deal with a simple problem like a flying enemy haha.

have no fear, this, in addition to being part of the storyline to get you into the AP, is in order to give you characters a test. There will be a chance to do some rebuilding after this is over.

Mini, Zephyr is at 49 after the resistance.

The drawback of not having high level spells. We can't deal with a simple problem like a flying enemy haha.

Or being blind.

Alright, the combat is over. Some things need to be handled, like waking up Churley, deciding if you want to save the swordsman or not, searching deeper into the cave complex.

However, now that you have had a chance to try out the characters, if you would like to change your feats, or traits, you may do so. If you want to swap up some of your gear, you may do so, thought I would wait to see what you found first. If you would like to swap out a class with another, just let me know what you want to do and you most likely may do so.

Aside from flubbing my fort save I'm pretty happy, I'll stick with what I've got.

I need to pick up raging vitality, which will require some modifications here and there. I'll get on it.

I’m happy with Zephyr but it’s clear to me that I’ll need to leave some slots open for troubleshooting and I’ll need a way to get our muscle airborne.

Is Arthur okay with riding on the back of a giant bat?

I am absolutely ok with that.

Beyond wishing I had the wealth to get an item to make me fly, I'm good.

Can you juggle some skill ranks into ride? It might be dangerous flying around without a few.

Actually I'm thinking we have rather a surfeit of melee people. I think I might switch over to archery if that is OK.

Oh, I kind of already assumed you were an archer.

Nope, hammer and board melee guy. Looks like archer would be more useful. Will likely move barbarian to ranger levels instead.

There's a barbarian archer archetype now. It might be less work to change.

I don't happen to have that addition to Hero Lab, so it would be less convenient.

can i safely assume that you'll heal everyone up, and do a thorough search of the place? I am going to assume that cause that is smart. You can decide if you want to kill or question the guy that surrendered

Sure. I'll figure out channels and wandage in a bit.

don't worry about tracking it. You have enough, lets just call it 1d12 ⇒ 6 charges off the wand

Eh, with a -6 ACP I'll never be much good at ride. Maybe I'll just save up for an item.

You don't need to be amazing at it. You just need enough to tap the DC 5 to ride with no hands.

Hmm, ok. That sounds reasonable. I can't remember the last time I've played a mounted character.

OK, here's the revised Churley for range work. Let me know if it's OK.

There's not a ton to worry about if you're not pumping it high enough to do the harder tricks. For the most part it'll just be legs/wings to get you around.

might want to take a look at the loot there Churley before you buy that bow

build is fine

I am bit suspicious of any bow that doesn't have seeker, but I could use that I suppose.

That would let me afford the goggles of night again I think.

well you can blame the author for that one. Actually part of the AP, found in the first book. You do have the option of turning it over the the Society, that certainly is something that they would be happy to look at. You are getting a chance to go into town to shop.

also make sure someone notes the journal of the half orc

That's a lot of loot!

EDIT: First, if someone can't cast it, please use one of the scrolls to cure blindness/deafness on poor blind Kixzik.

At a minimum I'd want to snag a wayfinder and I'd like the Clear Spindle Ioun Stone so I don't stink bomb the group.

I'd also like to grab the spellbook and review the potions to see what I can use my formula alembic on, but I need more time to go over that.

For Seif, total 3024 gp from gems and coins, 3524 gp if we sell the diamond dust.

I'll also try to grab: bit and bridle, masterwork studded leather barding, military saddle, riding dog, saddlebags from the halfling, although not sure how it'll deal with a goblin rider.

Question - does the belt of incredible dexterity simply become a flat dex bonus?

I'll snag the journal if it's in one of the languages I speak, if it's in Orc I'll pass it to anyone who can speak/read orc.

sorry that should have been deleted. there are no belts or headbands or cloaks of resistance

I assume someone will cast remove blindness from one of those scrolls on our goblin friend, just make sure you take that into account.

Also killing or sparing the swordsman?

Nah, that bow will work. My main concern will be getting up to enough dex for improved precise shot. That's going to be a touch hard starting with my stats, but can be done eventually.

Here's the revised build. I'll put it in the alias.

Actually I have a different idea. Given the house rule about stat boosters not taking the belt slot, this is the perfect build for a thrower instead of a bowman. I might consider that if it is not too much bother. It won't be quite as powerful as an archer, but it will be different.

Sounds fine to me, but it would be a shame if no-one used the giant scaling weapon of doom (TM), so I will build an archer based around it.

@MiniGM: The 'move action' part of Detect Evil for paladins is normally once you already have Detect Evil active, so that it takes a full round action to determine if something is evil (or a move action in every round after the first). If, however, you want to house-rule that it is simply a move action, I totally would not object ;-)

Re: Killing or sparing the swordsman, it is a bit of a quandary - he *did* surrender, but banditry is punishable by death, and Seif-al-Din is a legal representative of the city of Katapesh, so it would be his sworn duty to execute the man (since that is what would happen anyway if he was taken back to town)...

So the scaling weapon is actually written to be a weapon that works for a player. Nothing specific

If you want to be a thrower I will make it work
