I know the bonuses in pathfinder can be hell to track, so please do not take this as criticism; it is just a reminder. I will try to put a current combat effects reminder in future posts
Attacking with ranged weapons into melee without precise shot is a -4 penalty, and the bard is doing an Oratory Bardic performance conveying a +1 to a bunch of stuff.
Aw, poor Filliped. I completely forgot about him. What he's doing is an Inspire Courage effect, right?
I've been choosing my targets carefully. Pretty sure that at the time I have attacked, none of my targets have been in melee.
If that's not the case, please let me know

Your last attack on the ogre. He was in melee with Erizi. It made no difference in the outcome of your attacks. The one that missed would have missed without the penalty, and the hit would have hit.
Was erizi up to the ogre yet? I thought I threw before he moved in.
Posting out of order and then having you recap in order gets confusing sometimes. Sorry about that.
Yeah he was. He moved up to it right before you got loose from its grapple. It was a little confusing because of some back and forth about his action.
It's not a problem.
All's well that ends well (though this combat is far from ended!).
I logged on to Roll 20 today and was like...OMG...where did Hurvank's health go?!?! Then I read that Rukn's most recent set of shots haven't even been applied yet! You guys are tearing him down very fast!!
I'm out for dinner right now. Since Alex had the lowest initiative and I have the highest, I will post next turn actions when I get home. Sorry for the delay.
Sorry about my absence. It was an unexpectedly busy weekend.

Hey Solomon, I meant to post this yesterday, but went to change what I was going to say, and forgot to hit submit.
I just wanted to say welcome back, and not to worry about life interrupting your ability to post.
This goes, or course, for everyone. Let us know if you can, and if you would like to have me or someone else bot you. And if you don't have time to let us know, we will still be here when you get back.
You have all been beyond patient with me, and I appreciate it more than I can say; Thank you all for being a part of this.
I am not sure how to handle the current situation.
Solomon moved to threaten the Ogre but the Ogre is dead. He moved into the flanking position that I was hoping Zhalet would take.
I am delaying till after Zhalet but before Solomon according to initiative order, so her and Kilarra would have gone before he could move into that spot anyhow. Then again, he has missed several actions so it is also plausible that he has been 'delaying' as well which means he might be before us in initiative order. As near as I can tell, Solomon does not have anything that lets him threaten within 5 feet so I cannot flank off of him in his current position either.
I guess what I need to know is two things:
1) Does Zhalet and Kilarra go before Solomon?
or
2) Given that the Ogre is dead, does Solomon actually move into the spot he currently occupies?

Solomon's movement and attacks came at the end of round 5. Therefore it happens before your actions in round 6. He has indicated that he is fine with the movement and intends to remain there. Your actions and Zhalet's actions will necessarily need to take this into account.
Since his delayed action was the result of real life and not his choice for his character, I am not going to adjust his position in the initiative order.
I have a spiked gauntlet. I believe I threaten at 5 feet as well as 10. You should be able to flank with me, but if Zhalet wants the position I'm in, I can just not take the 5 foot adjust.
Oh...well then...I shall take my action...thank you for letting me know.
I will be out of reach from friday night to tuesday afternoon. I am going to my sister's house and then on to watch the eclipse from inside the path of totality. I may have occasional access on saturday, but I am not planning on posting anything.
Path of Totality? What's this sourcebook about? ;)
It is about introducing the Sky Demon that eats the Sun for use in the campaign...
Well.... that sounds jolly. o_o;
I bet that gives quite the case of indigestion.
Well, it tends to vomit the sun back out a few minutes later, so I think you might be right...
You sure it's vomiting? It comes out the other end, so...
Out of the country on business through Thursday, and Internet is spotty... so if I disappear for a few days don't fret. I'll be back.
I am back! :)
Though the attempt to view totality was thwarted by clouds, we did have a great trip!
Glad that you enjoyed and nice to have you back!
Where did you go to watch the eclipse? We were at 99.2% here in Portland, which I figured would be good enough, but in retrospect I wish I'd gone south an hour for totality.
We tried for Saint Joseph Missouri, but ended up heading for Columbia MO when it started raining in Saint Joseph.
It was a super busy weekend for me. I will have time to get a post up tonight.
The next two weekends are likely to be similar. Sorry if I hold things up.
My apologies for my extended silence. I was called away to Ohio for a funeral. I am back and should be moving the story forward tomorrow.
My condolences for your loss.
It appears that I am smack dab in the middle of the hunting grounds of an angry Air Elemental named Irma, so if communication stops for a while be aware that I'm probably hiding in a hole somewhere, but will pop my head back out when it's safe.
Please be very careful. Good luck to you and yours!
Take care Erizi!
Sorry for the long delay in posting. I traveled for the holiday weekend and came back to find an extra day off just means much more to do afterward.
Stay safe, Erizi! I will bot you if necessary and we will all be hoping for the best for you.
Keep your head down Erizi. Hope you and your loved ones stay safe!
Which one is the "two shots as a standard action" feat? Is that Manyshot?
Shows how often I play archers. Sorry folks, I thought we could take all three of them in the surprise round. Tactical blunder on my part.
Manyshot also requires a full attack. I do not know of any feats that allow for more than one shot in a standard action.
Also, my apologies, I thought I would be able to get a post up tonight. I will try to get it done when I get home, but it may be too late. I will post something tomorrow at the latest.
I think the Manyshot you talk about was in 3.5 D&D. In Pathfinder, to really aqueeze the surprise round with a bow you should be a Rogue or have some special effect you can do with your arrows (Maguses, Arcane Archers, Combat Maneuvers).
I asked a friend who played a Bolt Ace in a game where crossbows used a lot of the gun rules. He would sometimes fire two bolts as a standard action. I thought it was a feat,b pparently I am remembering the Double Barreled firearms rules.
In any case, I'm not entitled to Manyshot nor Rapid Shot. Monk's Flurry has its own shennanigans.
Double barreled will let you do it .. that is true...
Solomon, where did your third d6 of damage come from?
A typo? Looks like I put in the fire d6 twice. Thanks for catching that. Remove the third d6
Okay. I am not going to go back and change it now; bank error in your favor? ;) I was just curious as I was re-reading things.
Erizi has some of the worst dice luck I've ever seen. Ouch.
Good thing his bonuses are high. In the future, we should throw some buffs his way. Make the dice irrelevant.
I'll keep that in mind for future spell selection.
Two week business trip. Should be able to post most days, but might be spotty. Camping on 22nd through 26th, so AFK then.
Update coming today.
Yay!
