[PFS/Shifty]The Hydras Fang Incident (T4-5) (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Discussion here...

I signed up but I'll be out at a local convention this weekend. I'll make sure to get at least one post up over the weekend.

Cap'n Malachi Malarkey dotting in. Got a little shopping to update the character sheet with, otherwise good to go! (Assuming we expect to be done before July 22nd, when Malachi is due to be playing at a Con).

No worries, we will get underway soon enough :)

Malachi I'd expect this scenario to be 4-5 weeks assuming people post regularly, it's not a big one.

Just finished a scenario with this guy so I may spend some gold, but besides that, I'm ready to go.

No worries, briefing is up, hop on in guys :)

I love that we have three familiars in the group. All little fliers too. Mine doesn't get to speak for a couple more levels, but then will be able to speak all my languages (decoy archetype).

I'm interested to see how the figment familiar works out, been thinking about that archetype for use with another character.

Also I think I'll tweak my spell selection a bit, seeing as we've travelled past dawn.

Same here. Mine is mostly a placeholder for when I can get my others from Boons, but I'd like to see how a form of Reach Spell Curing works.

"Caw! Caw!"

"Caw, caw. . ."

Mine is my conscience.

It seems that so was Brandon Lee's. . .
:(

Back from my con and good to go! Also good to keep tormenting Svetlana with my other self...

Just wanted to give everyone a head's up. I'll be leaving to "the field" on the 3rd to approx. the 25th. I don't expect this to change my availability before then, and during that time, minus a day for travel back and forth, I expect to have posting capabilities. BUT, I will not know until I get there just what sort of internet access I will have. Possibly none, and possibly a great deal.

I tend to have fairly good internet, but, like I said, I really will not know until I get there. We are going out to the field to train for the upcoming deployment, and so I do expect to be rather busy, but no more than I have been the last few weeks, and likely even less so.

I have no issue with being "botted" if needed, and I'll certainly let you know when I arrive if I have internet.

There's another door we should open before venturing into the sewers i think.

Also, did we check Lubor's body?

That door is the storage area with the trap door, and Lubor had nothing of note on his corpse :)

Sewer it is then!

Lots of problems with the Paizo website recently, it may be affecting folks' ability to post.

The boards are being a bit unfriendly, seem to have been down more than up the last 24 hours...!

No mercy for those with no grave but the sea.

Was that an Alestorm reference? :)

Maaaybee.... :)

That album is on high rotation for me at the moment - Arr to the Pentahook,

I've been listening to it a fair bit myself but I find myself skipping several songs. Not that they are bad, just that they are a bit... repetitive in their catalog. The title track, At the End of the World and Treasure Island are possibly some of the best songs they've ever done though. Just seems like some of their general drinking songs on this album sound a bit like they are scraping the barrel once more.

Indeed - some of the material is more innovative - others will play well in concerts...!

I saw them live with the Dread crew of Oddwood opening. Was an awesome show from 2 awesome pirate bands. I'm hoping to see them play <loud chirping> with an anchor at some point.

I have to get this album :)

Yep I saw them with another Pirate band (Lagerstein) here in Sydney, it was a great night out. Mal get the album, its good fun.

I have arrived at my temp post and I do have internet. However, I am also the only medic on site, and we are in the process of building up our camp, so a lot of long hours. Should be better in two days. Just wanted to give a heads up. Please feel free to bot me if needed for the next day or so.

Ack that.

The medics always look like they have a lot of work at the start - but seem to have a relaxed life once EX kicks off (until the need comes to start issuing Strepsils and ibuprofen).

:)

For me, its always been a lot of work up front and then it slows down a little throughout, but almost never really have a break. Any time anyone does any sort of mission or training, I have to go too. It is what it is.

Korug, I notice you can spider climb when bloodraging. Might be your best option in this fight!

Yup I was thinking the same thing.

Just wanted to give a head's up. I've finally made it to the field and set up, but now that I'm here, my internet signal is incredibly weak to non-existent.

This is the first time I've been able to get on, and I will try to be more active now that I'm able to, somewhat, but feel free to bot me as needed. Once I get a change to inform al of my games, I'll start going through and catching up on what's been going on thus far.

Again, apologies for vanishing.

Yay!

Three trident hits against AC21! Owowowow!

On the upside, the crit is a 20, for a second that 19 had me checking...!

Free RPG Boon

Please note that at the conclusion of this scenario, you are entitled to the Free RPG Boon if you have not already qualified for one :)

That was a rough fight! It was touch and go for Malachi for a moment there. Thank Besmara, eh?

Sorry, I have recently gotten some internet access back, but I was completely lost in this last fight as to what was happening. Thank you for botting me. Hopefully I will get a chance to catch up and jump back in now. I should be going home in 2-3 days, I hope.

All good, I know what it is like to have a smashed timetable and dodgy internet :)

Depending on how our final approach to the Fang works out I may cast another spell or two.

Planned buffs:

cast Aspect of the Falcon
cast produce flame on Polly with Share Spells
drink potion of blur
activate wand of shield

I'll activate the wand if it looks like we're going straight into combat.

How close is "hailing range"? I'm wondering if I can safely cast my buffs.

Off to the Winter Magic Festival this afternoon, back 24 hours after!

Searlas needs a nap so he can get his conscience back.

Does Searlas spend his Phrenic points when he unsuccessfully attempts to cast a spell, or only when the casting is successful?

Initially I assumed that I did... although after rereading it I'm not so sure. GM?

Also, GM, feel free to beat on me some more, just go save my hide in cosmic captive first.

Interesting question on Phrenic points, it suggests they are used as the Spell is cast.
My reading is they would spend though - "The psychic can activate only one amplification each time she casts a spell, and doing so is part of the action used to cast the spell." So they don't happen iteratively, they happen as one action.

***

LOL I'll be right there in Cosmic.

Great round for the party!

Hooray for emergency familiar melee attack! :p

In case it isn't apparent - this is pretty much the closing scene - a party in the depths of a burning ship fighting a horde of undead...

So please ensure you have provided your PFS details - I expect we will be all sorted by the weekend :)
