I know, but its only 5 foot wide, so unless 4 members of the party are being affected by the swarm I`ll have a safe square to aim.
By the way, Keera only fly up 5 feet last turn as a 5step, to be able to cast the spell. And this turn another 5 as a move action (to not risk failing a fly check). It changes nothing, but I prefer to be clearer.
And, by last, I GM F2F on sunday so I could be unable to post. If that's the case unleash another lighting avoiding party members, and fly far from the disguntings things. Sobrino will continue trying to attack until the grubs die.
I was worried over nothing.
Mercies that 'act as [spell]' have no effect on LoH action type.
Keera & Vassago, you guys are up.

With all the discussion about how to save Spenser I didn't read I need to post. But it's done now.
I've posted asuming everybody agrees and because that's my only idea to make him survive, but I'm stating Spenser and Sele's action, so if they doesn't agree I could change it for a blast.
Also, Spenser you could risk to make a DC 10 fly check to not spend your move action and pick and antiplage (or is antitoxine?), if you have one. But I think is better to barely survive than risk what can be a death sentence if you stay in the ground.

@DM: What are the Society rules for a Cavalier changing his Order (NOT retraining, mind you)? I'm pretty sure there's an easier way to do that provided (especially given that the option is described in the base class, it just doesn't translate well to Organized Play's wibbly-wobbley time). I just got Legacy of the First World, and am strongly considering pledging Order of the Blossom!
I don't know.
(Gets catapulted into the ravine)......
Have you asked on the rules section yet?
Sure, but there is no certainty they won't chase you down.
Visitors might have exotic cookies and milk on them. ;)
Though on the other hand, Sele is too good of heart to simply abandon his friends. At least from what i've seen.
Edit: It seems i have been playing incorporeals incorrectly all the time thus far. They, that's nasty if i would have, have a 50% chance of negating damage from a corporeal source.
(aka adventurers with magic(al weapons)
Edit #2: No, re-reread, i didn't do incorrectly.
The 50% is about sources that are not dmg related.

Needless to say, Sir Spenser wouldn't either - but it's not abandoning anybody if we all run.
Maybe if we play the two groups of foes against each other? The rot grubs don't care who they eat....
On the other hand, Vassago's being staggered means he can still take a standard action to blast the horrible swarm. Between that and Keera's lightning, we should hopefully be done with after their next actions, at which point I'll still be in no shape to fight the new enemies face-to-face, but can resort to ranged attacks and tactical support.
Though Vassago is down a stairs, thereby not in view of the swarm to blast them.
I assume people look at the map when they want to move, so i'd reckon he'd seen he would go down the stairs.
Earlier on when fighting the Animate Dream, lower room, there are sets of stairs in clear view.
Every square that looks like that is stairs. :)
Guys, what will you do from here.
Spenser isn't going to post until there is some opinion of staying or retreating.
That of not posting was prior to your adding a spoilered part. :)
But it was the impression i got at that time.
Keera and Kenji, your thoughts on the matter?

I was hoping Vassago comes to say something like he moves away from the swarm, but in the opposite direction, to not move away of his friends but... sometimes life is hard
I can retreat easily, flying and such. But we shouldn't let Vassago die alone. Sobrino and I can stay letting the others retreat, and then fly away.
But I'm feeling I'm going to lost anither animal companion...

I do have 1 problem with what happened, re-reading.. Vassago posts that he can't alter the map and wants to move back 15ft.
What would be wrong with Chyro asking Vassago if he really wants to go down the stairs... it is not an uncommon mistake to not be able to read those maps, on several occasions I have not known what certain features are.
In this case just assuming he proceeds down the stairs, to another room...
If he had been asked did he know they were stairs and if he wants to head down them, without revealing any other details that would have been fine... but he didn't get that choice.
I'm sorry, but i've mentioned stairs in battle and again with the water chamber, both with the striped squares.
It would seem clear to me after that, that those striped squares are stairs.
I've not seen other kind of tiles for stairs.
There was no other direction his moving 15 feet away from the swarm would go.
This is hardly the 1st mission i've done where striped squares are stairs.
To the other point, these guys have delayed, they could have come up earlier to join.
Thunder bolts from a nearby room is reason enough for at least 1 of a group of guardians of a crypt to come have a look.
I'll wait for Vassago to post in person, see what his intentions were, and if he too thought the squares to be anything other than stairs.

I thnk that the stairs are clear, it isn't clear if they go down 5 feet or more. But also the map doesn't say how high is the ceiling. So, for me, is something to ask if you thinks is relevant. But I'm ok with waiting to see if Vassago wants to go that way and face whatever consecuences it means.
Regarding our more-than-probable retreat, I plan to send Sobrino in help of Vassago, not sure if I can see what happens, but the sounds of battle should be enough to think he needs some help.
If we retreat to a bottle neck we can see if the swarm goes against our new foes and if they dare to pursue us through a swarm.
Well generally the longer the squares of stairs, the longer they go up or down. :P
The ceiling is 10 feet high in every room, unless specified otherwise, i believe i've mentioned that at the start of entering.
Forcing the enemy to first face a swarm could work, assuming the swarm doesn't burn to death before hand.

The swarm should be nearly defeated; with them out of the way, we might still be battle-ready enough to take on the shae and drakes (if what they were able to inflict on Vassago when they had him all to theirselves is any indication); the main hitch is that you wouldn't have me anywhere close to my best.
We could also split the difference, try to finish the swarm (Keera and whoever else has any power to do so), then retreat from the others.
You are right, the swarm is near defeat.

So yeah, on my phone for checking anything Pathfinder related the past 2 weeks, I wasn't able to do much to check the map nor confirm things, so I wasn't aware of the setting. So preferably... I would prefer not to back into a super completely unknown area such as down stairs (or at least all the way down the stairs).
Sorry I couldn't post anything until now, but honestly, I don't want to wipe the table (and myself of course) for my inability to accurately know the terrain. I honestly thought that it was just a hallway (which arguably I was going to ask the GM to expose as I should have seen more, but I guess now was hidden because of stairs).
Then, with that clearer, where did you otherwise want to move.
Reminder for future events.... striped squares are [stairs]....
:P
When i rolled this up, i expected worse than currently is.
And people should thank Keera she has slots open for lesser restoration.
*Eyes the group*
;)
Is everyone set to go down the stairs?
The VC mentioned in the briefing, that when you read the poem, it was about the Whispering Tyrant being imprisoned here by barriers.
Now with its guardians long dead, and disgusting creatures inhabiting this place....get my drift? :)
If something is fading, you should fix it, by some means. :)
Sorry guys. I'll get on it now. :)
