For all my games: My PhD dissertation is due June 30th so I'm working on that a lot. I will try to keep all of my PBP games moving forward but I will undoubtedly be slower than normal.

Waagic Jadefingers |

That is totally understandable. I wish you the best of luck with that!

FYI, Cyrus is no longer with us in this game. I'll consider recruiting another player. Apparently, most people can't make it out of the Underdark. :P A perilous journey!

Myras Hlaviir |

Bummer. Thank you for playing with us Cyrus! Now how can we role play this departure? XD

Professor Rankle Boomtop |

Well on the bright side, this does make it feel like an old school meatgrinder... Right?

caster4life |

Indeed it does!
I'll narrate his exit either after (or perhaps during) this fight.

Waagic Jadefingers |

Alas, Cyrus!

If I toss an Elixir of Healing toward an undead, what happens? Is this common knowledge? It's not quite a spell but it uses a spell slot.

caster4life |

Are you referring to how healing energy harms undead in Pathfinder and other Dnd editions? In 5e, cure wounds has no effect on undead or constructs so I don't think your elixir of healing would do anything, unless it mentions something different. I suppose they might be mildly distracted by you throwing an object... But probably not. XD

Kargoroth |

Superb misdirection job you're doing, Myras.

Waagic Jadefingers |

Agreed!

I am also enjoying this encounter. K would probably enjoy it more if someone could toss him a healing word or something. XD
It's good game design that minor illusion doesn't have verbal components. That would put quite a damper on things.

Man. Blingdenstone has been a PC bloodbath. This is the party that entered:
Galenus
Galinndan
Cyrus
Zoltan
Odak
Kanzen
Eddrikk
Irdril
Players who left for whatever reason:
Galenus
Cyrus
Zoltan
Odak
Kanzen
Eddrikk
Irdril
New players:
Kargoroth
Myras
Rankle
PCs who've died (at least sort of) in Bstone:
Galinndan
Cyrus
New PCs of old players who joined in Bstone:
Waagic.
So I guess that means we've got to get Galinndan restored since he's the only original PC (Galenus, Cyrus, Kanzen, Irdril, Eddrikk, Galinndan, Tiberius) left in the party.

Waagic Jadefingers |

This party is a Ship of Theseus!

I don't have the hands to use it... Yet.
Pictures mutated gnome running around with 4 arms.

Rankle with 4 arms would be terrifying. Think of all the gizmos he could lecture on simultaneously.

I'm half picturing the robot from Lost in Space, mixed with C3PO and the most erratic lecturer you've ever had.

Rankle's Lecture
3rd level enchantment
1 action
Concentration: up to 1 minute
You begin a detailed and whimsical monologue on a topic of your choosing. When you begin your lecture, a creature of your choice must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or fall prone, paralyzed by the maddening chatter of your voice. Each turn it remains paralyzed it takes 5 points of psychic damage.
At the end of each of its turns, the creature may repeat the save. On a success, the spell ends.

Waagic Jadefingers |

Myras, you can fire away with the shortsword IMHO.
Myras and Rankle, those last few posts are glorious. :D

Kargoroth |

Guys, I'll go on mini holidays from Friday to Sunday. I'll have limited access and mostly through mobile phone, so I won't be able to edit aliases and my posting will probably suffer. Feel free to make me go first and eat all traps.

Waagic Jadefingers |

Take care and enjoy.

Waagic Jadefingers |

I cannot recall what Waagic's share of loot has been, if any.
Looking to have bought:
Greatclub 2sp
Sling 1sp
20 sling bullets 8sp

caster4life |

I don't think there's been any gold loot since Waagic joined. Blingdenstone is full of quest rewards. You probably have a few sp left over from character creation tho, yes?

Waagic Jadefingers |

Actually, I don't think so. Haunted one gives a monster hunter's backpack and a trinket but no cash.
I may not be able to post again until Saturday. Just a heads up.

Waagic Jadefingers |

I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.

caster4life |

I'm moving several hundred miles now through Thursday and don't have internet set up at the new apartment yet. So I'll be able to keep up with posts a little bit but less frequently and not as well.

Waagic Jadefingers |

Oh wow!
Good luck with the move and thank you for the heads up.

Professor Rankle Boomtop |

I can attempt to Flaming Sphere the clump of them here, I'll let our allies reposition themselves first then act accordingly.

Waagic Jadefingers |

@Rankle: That sounds good!

I'm trying to streamline by PBP by getting everything on the most efficient platforms. Who here has used/likes discord or gameplay, rolling, etc? What about roll20 for maps?

Waagic Jadefingers |

I don't mind discord and was in a successful 5e game run by yourself before.
Roll20 is fine for maps and rolling. Some good character sheet templates too.

I find that Roll 20 is pretty good, but the audio isn't great. Generally when I do games on there, I run it through Discord but use Roll 20 for the rolling, sheets, and such.
I'm not sure if that's what you mean but that's my experience with it lol.

caster4life |

Ok great. Let's move over to Discord after this combat. Here's the link.

Just a reminder to stop hopping into the Discord server for a seamless transition. Paizo has been down twice in the past week so the sooner we're over there the safer we are.
