No worries, boss. Been a wild couple of weeks for me, too.
Same here!
I'm back and will be getting a post up in the next day.
I'm having a tough time posting today. The goblin post eater seems to be active today. It has taken me quite a bit of time to actually get one up.
For the life of me I cannot get the map to save and display. I think I'm just going to use another premade one that I have.
It seems like it's been forever since we have had a battle!!!
Ok so I made a battle map and for the life of me, I can not get it to save properly. This stinks. Nym I may need your help.
Agreed, GM.
Good to be back!
Hopefully, the hoarded potions will vome b on clutch once more.
Kalim assumes shadow creatures are undead, because death (I decided not to look it up, just went with an uneducated guess.) Hopefully it doesn't work on us!

Great educated guess but not all shadow creatures are undead. Some are, but these are not.
So the map I posted yesterday did not save correctly to my RPtools, so we are going to have just refer back the previous map each round. I won't be doing map updates for this battle (unless I can figure out what's happening to my maps.) I probably should watch another tutorial on RPtools site but time's been limited.
I'm going to be offline for a couple days. I'll try to post if I can.
I'm back and I'm working on the next round.
I tried to log on a few times this week but the site was down, That was a bit frustrating.
Me too. Kept logging me out, which made a single hyperlink click into a 30sec multi click ordeal.
Annoying, but it seems team IT Gnome has fixed the dam goblin tinkering.
I'll be busy through tomorrow but will try to get post up tomorrow morning.
Did you see this, boss?

I did not. hmmmm, I'll need to look at it.
Edit: the link had an error.

I found it. I'll look at it in more detail tomorrow night. I'm pretty busy until then.

I looked a the Kickstarter. Interesting I added it to my watchlist. The Kickstarter closes in 3 days. I'm considering the $95 level (that looks like the base level for everything we would need). It would be nice to have actual maps that weren't cut and pasted.
Dealing with some personal issues. Please DMPC as needed. I apologize for any inconvenience.
I'm going to give everyone some time to post and interact with the Keeper before moving on.
I should get a post up tomorrow evening. Just been busy over the holiday.
I'll be busy until Saturday.
No worries, boss.
Merry X-mas to all of you.
And many thanks for the fabolous story so far.
Merry Christmas to all.
Merry Christmas for those who celebrate, and a warm and happy winter's Monday for those who don't!
Folks, it is and has been a pleasure. Happy days to all!
I won't be able to post until Friday. Sorry about the delay.
I'm still working on how to properly link a file from google. I did much prefer dropbox before they made changes.
on google drive?
If you make it a "drawing" you just open your drawing page, then upload the picture to the drawing. There is a little button on the bar at the top. you can drag it around to resize it.
When you are done you do the share. Click on the "Get shareable link" the key is you have to click on the little drop down menu that will let you make it "Visible to anyone with the link" or "public on the web"
That will let you put the link in a post like you always do.
That is how I do it.
If that is not what you are talking about...SORRY!
Since we have a potential player death here, I'll hold taking the antipaladin's actions until he is pressed with an attack. I'm going to let the party figure out how to proceed in case you can revive Desmond.
Yeah, I can bring him back, assuming 5d8+13 brings him to greater than -Con.
If the "bits and pieces" comment was just flavor, rather than actual mechanics, it might be better to resurrect him afterwards, I don't wanna hear Desmond whine about missing pieces until I can cast Regeneration (once I can prepare spells again)
I'm debating waiting until the antipaladin comes to us. Not sure I trust him not to have a put or something
Whatta ya think? Should I try to hold him?
We need to limit their actions, whether through engaging in melee, slowing or holding them, or walling them in. If I'm gonna bring Des back this turn, that can't be me, but I have no idea just how hard the orc will hit. I expect pretty darn hard, tbh.
The bits and pieces is flavor. You how his thingy is always doing the thinking for him. I thought that would add flavor if he was missing it.

He packs a wallop, but I don't want to overwhelm the party being a member down. To get Desmond up that is going to take Karnog's action and probably Nym or Felic to get the thief to Karnog. Although I am cruel, I don't need to be overly sadistic about it.
I'm waiting on Desmond before posting. If he doesn't post by tomorrow, I'll move on.
Apologies all, life has been very hectic and I haven't been particularly active on the boards.
So I'm definitely not dead, but how much damage I took depends on the sequence of actions. In particular, when did my attack go off?
The original AoO will hit Desmond regardless, doing 12 damage (plus potential bleed).
As for the rest of his attack that he was holding, do they go off before or after Desmond gets to attack?
If they go off before, then Desmond will be hit by 3 attacks for 73 damage, and rended for another 16, for a total of 89 damage (plus potential bleed).
If they go off after, then the Kyton has -6 against Desmond and his AC is boosted by 7, which means all of the attacks miss (assuming a 39 hits).
At the top of round 2, Desmond has his buffs and debuffs up regardless of the order of attacks the previous round, meaning only the nat 20 will hit (but not confirm) for another 21 damage (plus potential bleed). Although the 2 strength damage may effect how much damage he did.
So worst case scenario, 122 damage (plus potential bleed). Which drops Desmond but does not kill him. Although the bleed might in a turn or two.
Best case scenario, he takes 33 damage (plus potential bleed).
Let's get the fort saves out of the way:
So only the first bleed connects, giving Desmond 2 bleed damage.
Life happens, it's understandable. I definitely wanted you to see and respond to the actions, so no worries. Like I said I bet that was a shock when you logged on.
The actions that the Kyton were holding go off before Desmond attacks. It's the worst case scenario of Desmond.
AOO: 12
RD 1: 89
RD 2: 21
Bleed: 2
Nym got to you and pulled you back, then Karnog breathed life back in you so you (35 HP) are alive and taking no additional bleed damage.
Desmond your strength damage would have been healed by Keeper and the feast that you ate at her tower.
I did mention this was going to be a challenging battle.
Now as I understand it you can hold a standard action to interrupt combat (allowing you a single attack), or you can delay your whole turn but that doesn't allow you to interrupt initiative, only change the turn order? Not trying to argue my way out of damage just confused by the rules.
Karnog shouldn't have to use a breath of life if he doesn't need to, Desmond would be at -6 with 2 bleed damage, so in a awful situation but not dead.

I've always permitted the interruption. we never drop to the bottom of the initiative order as that would be too complex for on-line gaming.
It's rule #10 under the campaign tab.
10. I do not use delay/ready actions to switch/swap initiative orders, as that becomes problematic for me, the DM, to track on the boards. I do permit you to hold your action especially if you are waiting some tactical action.
Ooh right you are! Thanks for the clarification!
I'll let Karnog change the BoL spell to some sort of healing spell if he needs to.
It's fine, it's the "get the pc up from dead" button, and Karnog would use it unreservedly in this situation since Desmond got so sliced up.
It's also the highest single healing spell other than heal I've got prepared today.
I'm having a mind blank moment. With a melee touch attack is it d20+ BAB + strength modifier to determine if it hits?
Strength unless it has weapon finesse, in which case it can use Dexterity if it's better.
