@Caromarc - I reread the rules and realize I was being a dingbat, you're right it is only half damage, (not 50% miss chance, which applies to effects that don't cause damage). In this case, Elspeth would still take 11 damage though (if full damage was 23), wouldn't she?
@Network - your read on zen archers and Perfect shot is correct. It's sounds great now that quinn gets 3 shots and using PS on the last one. Then the issue comes next level when he has 4 shots, last two is at +1. Which one to choose for PS? hmmmm
Otherwise, thanks for the info. Looks like I'm following all of the suggestion stated.
Fyi - next up...boss battle!
We should be care about Spell Resistance. Drake should have 18 SR, being Dragon type. Creature types have qualities that get inherited.
Dazing Touch (sp)? Not that its a big deal for the heavy hitters we got.
That's a good point, but even a 10 hit dice dragon (red dragon) doesn't have spell resistance listed in their entry in the bestiary. I don't think SR kicks in until about 12 or 14 HD. The drakes are degenerate cousins of dragons, and this one only had 8 HD. (If it did have at least one more hit die, dazing touch wouldn't have worked).
Woohoo... So pretty, so pretty and gay! That was fun.
This is arthouse cinema.
no problem!
Unless this fight is right now, no point having summons, right? Was getting lantern archons again.
@Blackacre - I think Quinn needs 23 healing, and you're down 11.
@Caromarc - I left MM and Elspeth heals up to you instead of wand. Was that ok?
Quinn can heal himslef for 7 point via his monk ability, Wholeness of Body. That should help alleviate some charges, otherwise we should all be close to max before we encounter the boss.
@Network: YES!!!! Wand won't help either and might kill Elspeth!
Network - am I right that MM will have to plug himself in?
That was what I had in mind as a readily available power source.
:)
Impressive Sandru!
Thank you, kind Sir. Hope everyone else likes it!
Sorry folks, afk here... Kids party 3 hrs from home. I'm driving.
Earplugs can be your friend. Almost as much as when you're chaperoning high school dances.
Kid's party? The noise... the horrible noise...
Can't believe you had a three hour drive!
At a roller rink / arcade... NOISE! Then time at their house then 3 hrs home! Wife's best friend, like family.
Time to roll up the eyes.
3 hours too much time in a car unless I'm heading 3 states away.
Time to watch The Walking Dead
I've gotten confused. Caromarc and MM stay up, Elspeth goes down? Or we all go down and Elspeth goes in while Caromarc & MM stay outside?
I think the airship is under attack. Best laid plans and all.
Evacuate, except for airman-Sandru. He's keeping it aloft so everyone else can get out safely. Although he doesn't seem quite himself, he does appear to "know" what he's doing.
50ft ladder, 10-30ft drop... Tuck and roll grandma! Can always ask Sandru to bring it closer. Just made all that up...
@Caromarc - Ianez is unplugging MM from the engine, so any of your characters are free to do as they wish.
Is there a way for Quinn to use slow fall by using the police station itself? He has slow fall 30 feet.
•Level 6 - Slow Fall 30 ft - a monk within arm's reach of a wall can use it to slow his descent. When first gaining this ability, he takes damage as if the fall were 20 feet shorter than it actually is. The monk's ability to slow his fall (that is, to reduce the effective distance of the fall when next to a wall) improves with his monk level.
I don't think so, because there's no wall within arm's reach. He could use it to descend from the roof of the station to the ground though (or if he wants to smash and drop through a skylight or something).
No crashing through the skylight. Minor onboard. ;-)
Post Update: Would acrobatics skill help in reducing fall damage?
Yes. If you drop from the bottom of the ladder, Acrobatics DC 15 enables you to avoid 1d6 lethal damage and only take 1d6 nonlethal damage. If you jump from the top of the roof to the ground, you can use Slow Fall against the wall of the police station to avoid all damage.
Oh stop being a wuss... Take some damage!
Hey! Half-orc! Go fly the blimp. lol
We got the skills...let's use 'em. I want to make an equivalent attempt of jumping on the horse's ass and shotting some arrows. Sorry guys....inside joke.
There was a campaign that Sandru and I were on where an Elf ranger wanted to be fancy in attacking some orcs and ogres, so this guy decides to roll for jumping on the horse's ass, rolls for maintaining balance and then shots an arrow towards the orcs.
Quinn, lol.
Any innocents we need to veer away from?
You had to ask that, didn't you?
DM N, you're twisted. I mean that in a good way, of course.
Was something Sandru would think about.
Was hoping we would fight and Blackacre could Bane a canon!
Thanks, Ianez. :)
Network - if you held off destroying MM because he can't be brought back, he has that special ability that means he can be (albeit at significant cost).
Am okay to have the fire kill him. He wouldn't abandon Sandru, and Sandru wouldn't risk the orphanage.
Elspeth's body is in a tank of water in his chest in his armour in his force bubble... is she okay?
Don't forget his DR and Jessica Alba-abracadabra Armor!
True! Got to make up for those low HP somehow...
True! Got to make up for those low HP somehow...
Wrote this and went "actually that really is a low HP for a 7HD creature... in fact with the +20 construct bonus, favored class bonus, toughness feat... hang on. That means I rolled 3 on 7 dice?
So, it turns out while I kept adding the HP to his profile, I didn't ever actually update his HP total since he started this game four levels ago. I realised he might actually have had enough HP to almost survive this. If he took 66 damage then applied the DR 2/magic and the 5 from the ablative barrier he'd be on 1HP.
I thought Network was fudging, but looks like he knows the character better than I do.
I have just always liked Jessica Alba.
I like her too. I know people who hate her, but I don't.
Elspeth is okay. And MM has 1 hit point! Ack! But poor MM. :(
Can I get a shout out when the ten minutes is over, please?
Sorry
Ten minutes has passed.
Post, my dark children! Post!
Yesss masssster
Sandru has had a lot of excitement... he's licking his wounds. Watching Jornel fix the machine-man and waiting to hear Quinn scream like a girl for help any second!
Sorry, wasn't at a computer this morning.
@Sandru - you have 48 HP now.
Um, I think the post of the description of the interiro might be hidden in someone's spoiler - or I'm just missing it. Network you do great descrptions - any chance I could get the "flavour text" to go with the map :) ?
