Has our dex damage healed? Or is it possible to get a lesser restoration in the town? I'm open to selling a few bits and pieces (that magic missile scroll, some others) if it means marching off in tip top shape.
I'm shocked at how few 2nd level extracts appeal to me. Taking elemental touch, because that gives me non-fire damage and rider effects without pigeonholing Argus with Shock Bombs for the rest of his career.
Taking Infusion as his new discovery, because that means he can share buffs or heals. For instance, he can give an elemental touch extract to someone with sneak attack, like say Shackleton.
I have had that problem with bards too, though all the bard spells I liked were 2nd level :)
I finally leveled Olive
I realized I never chose feats, so I chose two: Combat Reflexes (can take 3 AoO) & Stand Still.
Added bite evolution (increasing Strength damage to 1.5 times; not a second bite attack), & ability increase (Str).
I'm not super familiar with the alchemist, but having recently dusted off my 3.5 books the Warlock had that in spades. 12 invocations in total, with serious scaling issues and most of the decent choices sandwhiched in the level 6-10 range. It wouldn't be quite so bad if the Extra Invocation feat allowed you to nab invocations of your highest level, but alas.
I'd hoped to unravel the mystery of why anyone had wanted to play them at my tables, but I'm still at a loss.
How immediately are we setting off? Argus's morning prep takes 2 hours (an hour for extracts and bombs to reset, an extra hour to replace his mutagen). Another two hours lets him replace the potion of cure light wounds he drank, but that's less inportant, since we also captured a few of those.
With an additional three hours, he can scribe cure moderate wounds into his formula book (I think 2x infused elemental touch is still the best actual preparation.)
It's up to you guys.
Quicker is better, much of the work you want to do can wait a day. :)
How dependent are you on your Mutagen? Less than your Extracts/Bombs? I would suggest getting your extracts and bombs and let's roll!
You can make a potion when we get back with a passle of grateful farmer folk ;)
It's a five hour journey on road to travel to the first four, and just as long to return. It depends if we want to lodge with one of our farmers or not, I imagine, but daylight's burning and I don't anticipate too much resistance.
We're probably overthinking this. :P
I'm sure there won't be any resistance. I mean, seriously, what could happen?

:0! ...I cast mage armor, bull's strength, resist energy, and invisibility.
Also I am not standing within 30 ft. of any other player. And never in a straight line with more than one of them.
Did I mention I cover my eyes? Hold my breath? ;)
Seriously though 2 hours sounds best.
I've got some long weekends on the road coming up so my posting may be a bit spotty through Nov. 3 or so; should be back to normal after that.
Argus will do his quickie prep, then. We need to get moving. He can brew the replacement potion on the road using the crafting while adventuring rules. He'll finish tonight.
Hey guys, I'm getting my office painted starting tomorrow so my posting may be a little spotty for a few days. (Of course, it's possible I move my computer and everything into another room, because 24 hours without being online could be too much for me.)
They could just throw a tarp over you and your computer.
I hope it's not that Mikey guy. I heard one job took him 17 years... :)
Starting Thursday, my posting may be a bit limited. The ol' ball and chain's home through Jan. 3. I still expect I'll post during some of that time (I have to work some days and we don't tend to spend every single minute together) but if I'm slow on the uptake, that's why.
I am on vacation, visiting friends and family, until the 31st. I have internet, but will not be able to post as easily.
Does anyone think that Vegazi will let us kill and eat one?
Hey guys, I have a deadline coming up and some other stuff going on that may slow down my posting this week.
I've just started work at a new school, but I don't expect too much slowdown. I'll keep you guys posted if things get too crazy. :)
Hey guys, took my dog to the oncologist today and started chemo for her. Feeling a bit too drained to post much but should be back at it tomorrow.
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Hope for a speedy recovery.
Hey guys, a couple scheduling notes:
I'll be out of town and away from my keyboard Feb. 14-19 for a trip to see the ol' ball and chain. Looking forward to breaking out the short sleeves.
My posting may be spotty the rest of this week, though I'll still endeavor to update daily. I've got a deadline coming up and a number of things to do before heading down, as well as a couple vet appointments for my dog.
As noted above, I'll be out of town through Thursday. Will update ASAP when I get home.
(The eagle has not completely disappeared, BTW. Sorry, I'd really hoped to be able to update this past week but combat is continuing...)
Argus may want to ditch the Trap Breaker archetype in favor of the new Alchemical Sapper in Ultimate Intrique.
I'm fine with that (once I see UI). That said, we're waiting on Argus to do something...
Crows go boom.
Just a heads up that I'll be camping over the easter long weekend and reception is incredibly temperamental. I have plenty of downtime to post, but may not have the means to do so from the 25th-28th. I should be able to squeeze in plenty of posts before that.
Sorry about the delays, guys. I have a big project I'm finishing up tomorrow and then I hope to have some more time and be better about posting.
The ol' ball and chain's home until May 1, so my posting may be a little spotty for the next 10 days. DM me as necessary. ;)
Ol' ball and chain? Can you use that term after only a year? :)
We're up to like a year and half now. And we've been together for a good six months of that time. Maybe.
My phone broke, so I will not be lurking on the threads as much. My posting should stay the same except for weekends. Hopefully the replacement will keep that singular. :)
Lisbet and Shackleton, you're both up.
A few quick bookkeeping notes:
* I'm going to be out of town Friday-Monday. I plan to resume regular posting come Tuesday or Wednesday. We can continue to post today through Thursday, of course.
* I'm going to advertise for a replacement for Shackleton and hope to have someone ready to go after the weekend.
* And some bad news, I'm afraid: Obviously we've not kept the best pace up, in part because of me, I'll admit, though I don't think it's solely on me either. I've decided that I'm getting a little overwhelmed with the number of games I'm running and I'm going to make this a one shot, not a series of modules to bring us up to higher levels. I have every intention of finishing the module (we're not quite halfway through) but I won't be running other modules afterward. Sorry; I hope this isn't too disappointing but my feeling is we'd have trouble sustaining multiple modules anyway.
I've got two people planning to join in. Reminder that I'm away for the weekend but will resume game play come Tuesday, give or take a day or two.
That said, I would ask for you all to make sure you're committed to the game -- only one person has posted in the two days since my last post. Slow posting rates doom a game as we get into a vicious cycle. If you're not interested in continuing, I understand, but please let us know.
I am still in. I just had a lot come up in the couple weeks.
Hi everyone! Just dropping in to say hi and I am one of the people jumping into the game. Super excited to play with you all as it seems you have a good group. Thanks Mott for the invite and excited to get started.
Hello, everyone. I am the other new person jumping into the game. ;)
I'm looking forward to joining in, starting the adventure and getting to know everyone. Thank you to motteditor for the invite to join. :)
Herzlich Wilkommen!
Welcome.
Danke sehr!
Thanks Ross!
Should be fun, Qiora and Xorrin are actually a pair of married halflings so the dynamics will be interesting.
Welcome Xorin & Qiola. :)
Thank you, Lisbet, Ross and Lyra! :)
Welcome to the game.
Hello, Philgor, and thanks!
All right. Back from vacation, so let's get this thing going again. :)
Letting you guys role-play things out a little more. I'll post an update later tonight, or tomorrow if you all seem to still be having fun.
The outwardly languid warcat lifted its head to sniff the air anew as his mistress had asked her questions.
When Rizu was satisfied by the smells around him, he made a deep growl/purr, but it was not much like the common house cat's. Its timbre seemed to pass along the skin of those around the table, unsettling them just a little with its resonance (except for Qiola and Xorrin who were most familiar with the sound).
*phew* was having an out of body experience.
(Olive is an eidolon)
I realise the warcat shares your main alias' avatar. Would you like me to change it? I just couldn't find an appropriate avatar for a warcat. :)
And aye, out of game I know it's an eidolon, just wasn't sure if it was visible currently and in the room with you/us in game. :)
