[PFS] Season 0 run, mixed with Dragon's Demand

Game Master Irish202

Indeed.

Enjoy your time away!

I hope the whole family/group enjoys the time.

It is just my twin and I with our significant others on the trip. He just proposed to his long term girlfriend on one of the gondola rides in Epcot today. She said yes :)

Good for him!

Sounds like you are having a good trip. Glad to hear it.

+1 to Kegan's comment. A great day for your twin.

Hello all! Back from my vacation today, expect a post update after work this evening.

GM Irish, I read your last in game post post and all I could think of was:

Spiders. Very Dangerous. You go first.

Oh and I might as well ask now. How do fire elementals interact with webs in your version of pathfinder? Because Tereze does love to summon her elementals.

Hi everyone,

I’m out of town on holiday with no wifi and now no data. Will be back online on the weekend... feel free to Bot me as necessary until then if required.

Thanks.

Tereze, i am willing to guess, given Locke set fire to some curtains at the opera house, webs might burn just fine.

We'll see. ^^

Sorry, I missed the notification about your question on my side. My stance is that the webs would take the fire elemental's Burn ability, causing them to catch fire if the creature touches it or is caught in it.

Earned a GM credit today that I will be applying to Kegan after this scenario.

Where are others for XP? I know that Testudo just transitioned to 7th so they are presumably at 18 xp, but I don’t know where others are. I’m asking so as to avoid applying too many GM credits.

This is Aryxis's first scenario at Level 6.

I think Locke and I are both at 17xp. One behind Testudo.

I think Melisande is at 15, but I can check when I get home tonight.

Yup.

Yeesh, I go away for convention for the weekend and so many posts to get through! I'll read through and catch up.

You missed that 200+ damage crit you made on that poor defenseless CR1 pirate. Good times.

Shouldn't everyone except Locke and I be full up after the channel heal? I want to know before I do my next action.

Yup, just had a Derp Moment™.

No problem... I know my posts often make HPs swing all over the place between the life link, and then the healing I often drop.

Yeah, that happens. It's funnier each time it happens. Once I did it to a rock I was trying to move. The look on the GM's face was priceless. Almost as good as the time Testudo heard someone calling for help and proceeded to crit charged the poor door.

All references Ive found refer to escaping from entanglement as a Move Action - hence why I rolled twice. Is that not the case here?

Specific trumps general in this case. See below:

Creatures with the web ability can use webs to support themselves and up to one additional creature of the same size. In addition, such creatures can throw a web up to eight times per day. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50 feet, with a range increment of 10 feet, and is effective against targets up to one size category larger than the web spinner. An entangled creature can escape with a successful Escape Artist check or burst the web with a Strength check. Both are standard actions with a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the creature’s HD + the creature’s Con modifier. Attempts to burst a web by those caught in it take a –4 penalty.

I will admit though, I was not aware until today that attempts to burst webbing take a -4 penalty. That part was new for me.

Can the web be cut? Nets can be.

Yes, they can!

Post update coming up in about 8 hours. Thanks for your patience!

Even if not passing reflex, Locke can fly if needed.

If it takes an action to fly, such as the Tengu Wings feat or Winged Boots, you would not be able to use that to save you from a short unexpected fall.

I haven’t looked at what method your character uses.

I have wings, through the so named discovery.

Probably standard to activate, but i am unsure if i have a standard while starting a 20ft drop. :P

Wings (Ex): The alchemist gains batlike, birdlike, or insectlike functional wings, allowing him to fly as the fly spell for a number of minutes per day equal to his caster level. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-minute increments. An alchemist can select this discovery multiple times; each time he does so, he adds his caster level to the number of minutes per day that he can fly with the wings. This flight is an extraordinary ability. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.

It is an extraordinary ability, so they may not require an action to activate. There are a number of methods of flight that specifically mention needing an action to activate. Since this one is Ex and does not mention it, my inclination would be to say it doesn’t take an action,

You would still need to make a fairly easy Fly check,

Avoid Falling Damage: If you are falling and have the ability to fly, you can make a DC 10 Fly check to negate the damage. You cannot make this check if you are falling due to a failed Fly check or a collision.

Fly skill is +12, so that sounds good. :)

I dunno about that - the normal rule if it doesn't state what type of action it takes to activate is that it takes a Standard. I don't think it matters in this case, but might when you want to fly in combat.

That'd be odd, if wings are out to start with, to make start beating them a standard action for combat. Then all flying creatures would spend standard actions just to take off.

If i kept them hidden underneath my mantle at all times, i can imagine properly uncovering them would be, but they're kinda unhindered limbs/appendages when not covered.

yeah, that's one of those things that never made sense to me - hey I have wings that are always out, but I can only use them for 6 minutes/day. I guess I always envisaged it more as you exercise some sort of magical ability and they sprout from your shoulders.

I think most extraordinary abilities do not take an action to activate. Something like Uncanny Dodge would be useless if it required an action to activate. Are there any that do require an action?

Just so I know, where are you getting the rule about assume a standard action? I think there is something like that in Magic items, but am not sure.

As for the limited time, I imagine it as the wings always being there but they are only strong enough to work for a limited amount of time each day. Just taking flight is pretty taxing, which is why the minimum time per use. Don’t think about it too much, this is not a simulation and a lot of the abstractions cut corners so that things are playable.

This obstacle could be...interesting, as nobody has survival XD.

Locke and Testudo have the highest Wisdom scores...at 12 each.

Assuming both of you have rerolls, you could switch off leads and use the reroll if needed.

*Looks up from digging more poisoned spiked pits.* Well, I am sure you all will be fine. What could possibly go wrong?

Yah i recall another group just botching one time.
Druid.....enough said. ^^

When someone offers the use of an item that gives a bonus to the check, take them up on it!

I am surprised that neither Locke nor Testudo appear to have wayfinders. I usually have them for my characters by 3rd or 4th level.

I've also rarely seen them being used.

But maybe worth buying.

I see them used all the time as either a source of light, detect magic, or sometimes detect evil.

Using as a compass doesn’t come up as often.

In a couple of levels, I will also be using it to carry an Ioun Stone.

In my experience, their use is extremely regional based on the player base and the local PF lodge. In our local lodge, almost everyone has one. In the next lodge an hour west of my area, no one does. It varies. I personally don't on most of my characters, but the reason is more on an RP basis for each character.

Edited since Tereze posted.

Tereze made the Aid Another check, so we either miss by 2 or Testudo accepted the use of the Wayfinder when offered and we succeeded.

Well. GM I leave it up to you if we passed or not.

And I guess I should be picking up a wayfinder after this :)

Totally based on character RP for me too. Some of the characters are more trusting/group minded. Melisande is distinctly not.

Unless it involves dark rituals?

Are Nocticula's rituals dark?

I think he is conflating dark rituals with rituals performed in the dark. ;)

I will be traveling today through Sunday out to Denver for Genghis Con, posting will be sporadic through the weekend. Plan for an update later today after my flight; if someone would bot any PCs not acted by 6PM MST, that would be appreciated.
