I had one Christmas where we went for a canoe ride and I dumped my wife in a very cold lake and she got badly sick, and another where our child got sick and had a febrile seizure and we spent hours waiting in the emergency room because of some disaster that left a whole bunch of folks injured. Yea, sometimes the holidays can be difficult. We have high expectations but things happen just like the other days of the year - perhaps more often in my experience. I'd say its about a 50/50 chance of getting through Christmas/New Years without some minor or major disaster.
Thanks for the support guys - I guess things should pick up from here on...
Just finished reading through the Gameplay (damned funguses I tells ya!!! Eeeeeshhhh), and wanted to remind you guys Garrosh has started playing with s wand of CLW, which (I believe) he never used. And he also has Tessai's practically unused wand of CLW, which was given to him by Belle.
I'll do some back reading to confirm the amount of charges in each, but I think we are fine for the time being. Pending confirmation, of course.
dammit, I just totally liost my post and don't have time to repost right now...I'll try again later.
I hate that. I put a bunch of work into my character sheet and when I submit the changes it goes to a generic paizo page and looses all that data. I try to remember to copy before I submit now.
Sorry, I've been unavailable to post. Day Job had me working ungodly hours during the weekend.
Non problem. Holidays are always rough.
Agyen has been pinged. If he hasn't posted by this afternoon, I'll DMPC him as best I can.
Fortunately, he is the one player that actually can do full damage.
Welcome to Rappan Athuk, folks. Where you can die before even getting to the dungeon...
...and at least it wasn't the red dragon...
Thanks for the poke. the holidays were a bit busy and my new post thing wasn't working. Again...
No problem. I don't know if there is something I need to do on my end or what.
BTW...did you guys heal up befopre sleeping? I didn't see anything about it in IC.
Belle was saving her last two spells in case of something like this so any healing would have to have been done via stick.
So, is that a "Yes, we healed." Or a "No, we saved the charges."?
1-3 HP sounds reasonable as far as "don't waste the charge" range goes.
OK let me see here... as of exiting Rappan Athuk these were the statuses according to my records
Belle: 31
Garrosh: 36/44
Reynaud: 35/60
Agyen: 23
Tony: 37
Brodin: 45/52
bringing him to 44 (FULL)
bringing him to 42
bringing him to 51
bringing him to 45
bringing him to 47
bringing him to 51
bringing him to 56
bringing him to 59
Please subtract 8 charges from your wand. I'll let sopmeone else take control of the healing from now on...
"Following Combat" section added to SOP
Is a fire elemental immune to fire? If I blasted it with a burning hands would it just soak it up with glee?
Fire Elementals are immune to fire.
Unless people can come up with a good way to sleep while standing, everyone but Garrosh and Agyen starts prone.
Reynaud,drawing your sword is a move action, or you can draw it as part of a move if you have a BAB of >+1. So, you could move and draw your longsword if you like.
Well, I'd stick around to Bodyguard the people still sleeping anyway.
no one is sleeping. Some are prone, though.
The people not on watch then.
Hey!! Garrosh needs protection too :'(
Pretty sure this is the end of the line anyway.
Don't be so sure. We have a number of characters that can do damage.
Belle has one burning hands or magic missile and one Burt of Radiance. Even though she did not get any new spells, she was able to prepare both of those spells. If she can get them all together that is a significant amount of damage.
We have a fire elemental coming up and both Tony and Brodin have magic weapons.
And Garrosh.
I have one too.
Who do you think will drop first?
That's a morbid question.
Agyen has probably the worst saves relevant to wraiths and is the biggest threat. I can't remember if wraiths are intelligent or not though. If they are I imagine them all ganging up on him first. That being said, Reynaud's gonna guard the best offensive weapon our side has so he'd probably go first.
Wraiths? Intelligent? Now there's a thought... I've always played them as 'intelligent enough to know they can hide in a solid object and attack out of it but not intelligent enough to gang up on the wealking.' They are hungry for life energy.
Let see here...
oh hey, Int 14....not instinctual at all....
"Six glowing orange eyes turn towards Agyen."
I'm not sure if a fire elemental can hit. Does someone have a spare magic item? If so I could summon an earth elemental and have it wield the magical weapon. Otherwise I will cancel the summoning and save the charge if allowed.
perhaps we need to add a wand of Magic Weapon to our wish list?
Brodin actually has 2 spare potions (Oils) of it, but I'm not sure we can spare the actions to distribute it. Maybe he can hand off his backpack to someone so they can fish them out? someone who otherwise has nothing to contribute to this encounter?
I think everyone else has a magic weapon, and Agyens do full damage.
It's looking good so far.
But note: Ghost Touch Weaponry or Holy Weapon balm to shopping list.
Garrosh is a 4th level good warpriest, right? Can't he do ghost touch as a sacred weapon for 4 rounds and/or channel positive energy to harm undead using fervor? Both very good options.
lol, I am such an idiot. I have 4 bottles of holy water in my backpack, enough for 8d4 damage if they are doused with it and holy water gives full damage against incorporeal undead. I knew I would have prepared something against this possibility.
:)
I'm going with Ghost Touch Belle - both my DC and channel damage suck BIG time...
Wise choice, though you got really unlucky with that miss :(
My rolls are SUCKING overall...
Garrosh, what's your weapon damage?
Agyen, you have to use a move action for each dagger, which doesn't leave you an action to cast Bears Endurance
Belle, I'd say Brodin's pack is where he was sleeping. I'll mark the map. I(ll let Brodin say where the wand is. If it is on his person, that will change things.
Most likely in his pack; though I definitely would have intended to give it to whoever is going to cast it (it's no use to me except as a beneficiary). I didn't say so, so for now let's say it's in my pack. If you retrieve it, keep it. I'll mark it off my possessions.
Don't mark it off. She'll be giving it back.
Garrosh, what's your weapon damage?
d10 - was my mistake :P
I'll re-roll.
No need to refill as there was no need for the attack.
Yeah, I saw that. Re-rolled anyway. Makes no difference :P
Garrosh, heads up about Communal Prot/Evil; 1) creatures touched, so they need to be close to you.
Not going to worry about it for this combat, but next time, make sure to tag who you are touching.
I honestly did not know it was Touch :P
Duly noted.
