Game Master Oykiv

happy new year to all of you. May the dice be kind to you in 2017!

Happy new yer too!!!

Christmas time has been very busy for me, having to take care of two kids. But I'm here again and now I'll post more often, I'll promise it.

I don't think Create Pit as cast will cause a PVP problem.

In addition, the edges of the pit are sloped, and any creature ending its turn on a square adjacent to the pit must make a Reflex saving throw with a +2 bonus to avoid falling into it.

So creatures on the edge won't immediately fall in when the spell is cast unless they end their next turn on the edge.

The problem with Create Pit is that it might prevent some of the rest of us from being able to take actions that can affect combat. Bhuukka can't really do anything until the spell ends.

I know Rallas is signed up to play in the PBP special that is scheduled to start on Friday. It seems very likely this game will not end in the next few days, especially with almost everyone slowed and the enemies stuck in a pit.

If it's going to slow the whole game down I will release it on my next action.

The thing is it's also helpful because most of us are slowed. I'm not sure how many people have actions they can take against enemies in the pit or if they have the ability to escape, but tactically, if it buys us time for the slow wear off, it's a good thing.

GM: Is there any other way out of the city? If the enemies are stuck in the pit, is it possible for us to sneak away and bypass the combat.

That's what I was thinking originally. I'm good either way honestly. Whatever is good for the group.

I think it was a good call. Alek's speed is only 10' right now and he's staggered, which means that is all he can move per round... Sigh... Cannot wait for 7th level when Cinderpaw becomes Large and I can ride him!

guys, don't worry if we don't finish on time...i can sign up for the special with another toon....no worries....

The pit will last 5 rounds and some of you are slowed, so not enough to outrun them. But it has buyed time for the slow to wear off.

Also, let me be clear that Alek will not, under any circumstances, leave Cinderpaw alone in that pit. I just want to put that out there so that we are all clear. He will stay and fight alone if need be, but he will not leave his friend in there.

When I wrote that it was not clear that Cinderpaw would have been in the pit. He should not have had to roll a save until he ended his next turn at the edge of the pit, not immediately when the spell was cast (I quoted the relevant part of the spell above.)

stuff

You're right, I just read the PVP part and missed the bolded. And then focus in "the enemies stuck on the pit"

Well, that also means that neither him nor the strange human should had fall into the pit, as both have the opportunity to make a 5 step out of the risk zone.

Give me some time and I'll undone the wrong ruling. And Rallas will keep his crit, what he would surely like. [ooc]Wrong ruling undone, go ahead and win the fight

That's still not quite right I don't think.

Create Pit

Any creature standing in the area where you first conjured the pit must make a Reflex saving throw to avoid falling into it.

So if you are in the 10 foot square you have to make the save right away. If you are adjacent, not until the end of your next turn.

The strange human was righ over Cinderpaw, so Enora can affect both him and Cinderpaw or no one of them. And Enora said "Casting create pit on the 10x10 square including Na'lu and the M plus the squares to the right of them." so his neither of them.

That's it, if the thing you though was wrong was the strange human don't falling. If there's another thing let me know.

Yes I specifically tried to get Na'lu with the initial roll only. Cinderpaw and the strange human should have a turn to react first.

This last game has some mistakes from my part. In my last post I've tried to solve it without making impact in the game, so if you see any inconsistency but it doesn't impact too much, please forgive me.

Choronicles are here. Chek them to see all is right.

sweet...thanks man!

Just wanted to double check but is the gold for slow or did we not get as much gold?

Great, thank you for running this game and thanks everyone for playing!

Same question as Khugron- did we miss some gold somewhere? If not please change it to normal progression gold.

Also you might want to cross off the subtier 6-7 equipment.

Yes, I am on normal progression as well.

Thank you for running the game.

Alek is likewise Normal progression.

Same here. Other than the gold, it all looks good. Thank you!

No, it was me reading the wrong column. Today I'll fix that

CHRONICLES fixed.

Wish you're next GM is quickier than me.

No worries, Oykiv! Thanks for running the scenario!

Thank you very much, Oykiv!! I appreciate the effort that you put in, and hope that RL clears up for you soon!

Thanks for running the game.

don't worry about the speed man....you did good

Thanks Oykiv! :D
