Good point, I can use that as a move and still ready an action while I wait for them if Tyranius is ok with that. I went back and read and I don't think it would have applied to the disrupt undead though.
EDIT: Turns out I did already have it factored in so hopefully that winds up being ok. Otherwise, subtract them back out.

Running time....3 attacks .. poison.. +6 to hit.. f#*! that.. honestly.. this module is bs
GM Tyranius |
This is definitely a difficult Module.. With that being said you guys truthfully are not doing too bad. You are still alive. Most of the issues I have seen so far have been due to coordination and being prepared for the situation and a bit of luck. I have been rolling pretty decent this game which does not help.
I can't force you to continue but I do think with a heal and regroup of plan and strategy. Now that you know what you are up against. This place is tough but not impossible. You guys have made it through the worst part of the dungeon. It is all downhill from here and you are very near to the end.
I know you guys can emerge victorious.

I've GMed this a couple times. This has been my only run as a player. Haven't had this much of a nightmare in the two I GMed. These last three fights were all tough, but I don't think any deaths.
I don't remember if the design assumption for this is six characters or four. Believe it or not, it is probably four since that is the assumption for APs and as far as I know for modules also. It definitely assumes leveling within the adventure which always presents a problem when you have a group of level 1s. If I'm not mistaken, Ford was our only level 2. I keep thinking that Sial is, but its only because of Orza's hp.
We got hammered on the rolls in the encounter with the wight. We rolled bad. The wight rolled awesome. We lost our only level 2 with Ford and probably our hardest hitter with Caemillia.
The shadow was a pain, but aside from the crit on me (rolls again), we managed ok. Thank goodness for arcane strike because otherwise we just would have had to run.
This last fight was a disaster for our current party mix. I think you've got to take one of the two of them down quickly because having them get in and get off six attacks a round is going to go sideways quickly. We did wind up splitting our damage across the two of them, but even if we hadn't, I'm not sure we could have done enough damage quickly enough.
If we're going to take them on again, I think we should consider whether we can create a choke point so they can't both get to us at once. Barring that, we'd better concentrate all of our attacks on one, see if we can take it down, but be ready to retreat.

I can use up my spell slots for this now that I know what's coming.
I could do Magic Fang to buff Orza for the fight and then spam Summon Nature's Ally during combat for quick one-round monsters that take and deal damage.
Nothing to create chokepoints, unfortunately. Darn you, stone floors!

There are some weeds and small roots growing in the broken and cracked flagstone.

Yea and no explanation yet on why the sudden change.[/ooc]
I will be at a small PFS / gaming convention on Sat. So I will have a hard time posting anything that day.

Prolly best to bot Bolger.. Baerlie seems to have not posted in two weeks.. in any game.
GM Tyranius |
Seems so. Hopefully he comes back soon. Might be having computer issues or something.
GM Tyranius |
Ah welcome back. That is ok. Hope all is going well.
GM Tyranius |
Getting close to the end here. I still need Bolger's info for his chronicle sheet.
GM Tyranius |
Have a good Easter weekend everyone!
GM Tyranius |
Heading to Florida for the weekend. So my posting will be in the late evening until Tuesday
Sial Antomaxes |
Good perseverence... was a very hard slog and long .. i've finished 8 or so games since this started..
GM Tyranius |
Yea this is a lengthy one for PbP and we were making pretty consistent postings.
GM Tyranius |
Chronicles are all emailed out. Let me know if anything is wrong or if you did not receive it. I will close this thread tomorrow evening.
Reporting it right after typing this
GM Tyranius |
Yup anytime. Sorry it was a lengthy and deadly module.
Sial Antomaxes |
Well as a gm you've done well.. you stuck by it and completed it.. I've had 2 ap's fail due to lack of gm commitment during the time this game has run.
