Rappan Athuk set in Nirmathas, Golarion

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Been happening for a while now. Kind of annoying but still functional.

I noticed it happening since the game restarted. It's annoying. I've been making sure I copy everything before I hit the submit post.

Had the same problem.

Yeah, same issue. Had the habit of copy before submit from way back, before the boards' "upgrade".

Guess it's time to revert back to old habits.

I literally never submit anything, even small posts before copying it to my clipboard. Anything a paragraph or longer goes onto an outside document.

Never trust Paizo with a functioning website :')

Sometimes mine don't show up until I go to discussion and then back to the right thread it's there. It's weird.

I feel that pain. I've even had to log off and then back on again to have post show up. Well, at least it's not just me and user error.

I've also had a problem lately with the new alerts don't go away after I click on them, so I keep thinking there are new posts.

Sorry all I'm traveling internationally but I'm catching up now

And yes I often don't see updates at all

I'll be back to post RD 3 action and get up the map. I need to contemplate just how evil I should be now that I have the battlefield shaped. Grande Evil or Legendary...hahahaha

I've been swamped the last couple days. I should have a post up tomorrow.

Mind fog followed by confusion. Hilarious combo. Brutal and deadly, to be sure, but also hilarious.

I liked the combo. I'm aiming to challenge the group.

I have a few things to do this morning but I'm going to try to get an update done as soon as possible.

I believe Karnog and/or Nym are giving me a +2 bonus to my AC against evil targets, so I think the first attack misses, but the rest definitely land. If I'm wrong than my current hp should be 7 lower than I have it updated to.

Question: Would dispel magic only affect an individual person, or would it dispel the entire confusion spell? I always thought you could target the spell itself.

Also, for positioning, is the demon still hovering in the air? Can it be reached with melee attacks and/or be flanked?

Yep you get +2 against evil from the communal prot from evil cast by Kalim.

Karnog targeted the spell on Grung, I think to make it more likely to succeed.

Targeted on Grungsdi b/c only standard dispel, not greater or mass.

Also b/c the baddy hit Desmond, so hell attack under confusion unless someone else hits him as well.

Also, Croaker needs to drink some demon blood.

Understood, thank you.

baldwin what about the hovering question?

baldwin what about the hovering question?

I thought I answered the hovering question. You can jump and try to hit it. was there something else? He's currently 5 ft off the ground.

The demon is 10 feet off the ground, correct? Would it be feasible to get a running start and hit it with a jumping attack?

Do we have an updated map? It's important to determine if I get sneak attack or not :)

yes the demon is 10 ft off the ground. yes you can do a jumping attack, although the terrain has lots of bones and junk on it so its uneven terrain.

Here is my previous answer. Do you need something else?

I suppose I was just asking for an update to ensure he was in the same position before I made any assumptions and made a bad combat post. Working on post now.

This is becoming a nice battle royale, it's one of our more interesting conflicts.

It's a serious challenge. I love it.

I'm loving that Karnog's battle magic load out is getting some work. I had discounted spiritual weapon but it's pretty capable, especially with all my normal attack-buffs applying.

Grung your save did not close out a bracket, so it did not give a result.

Sorry! Too much phone posting and rushing about

Holy Crap. I TOTALLY misread the Christmas Hiatus post from Baldwin and thought he was terminating the game completely. I only checked my inbox today because someone on the board requested in my Google drive to edit one of my guides

If it's still cool for me to jump back in I'll catch up on all these posts and resume if you will still have Duncan.

I'm fine with you jumping back in. I figured you were working and out of contact for a bit with the career. I had brought your character into the level.

Please catch up on the discussion and game posting.

Just don't ask why you no longer have a beard

Duncan I need you to make 4 Will saves for me.

Okay all caught up. (I think)

Will vs Spells: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39
Will vs Spells: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31
Will vs Spells: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31
Will vs Spells: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31

Don't we have a morale bonus running as well from the hero's feast?

In summary- I have 29,000 gold to spend from the 3 months downtime?

Post a wish list and I'll make a few rolls to see what, if anything, is available.

Yes, heroes feast is active, with 13 temp HP. Also, you should be under the effects of Resist Energy 30 (fire) for another 5 or so minutes, and a magic circle vs evil.

I'll keep the list simple:

Or a horn of judgement would be cool for smashing ghosts 10000gp

Boring but effective would be a Ioun Stone of Dex +2 (forget which colour) for 8000gp.

Or a Spear with a Knights Pennon of Battle
4500gp (Heroism 1/day)

Just throwing out options based on what was available.

Duncan was also already carrying 12000gp worth of gems

One of my main complaints with Pathfinder is that boring magic items are too efficient. I may end up considering ABP for my future games...

Also I've never been able to get my combat posts written up so quickly! It's easy when you're babbling constantly :D

I have to make some rolls and take a look at the various characters to make sure the game is balanced. You had the opportunity to build and perfectly equip your character for a 15th level, the others haven't. I suspect the others are equipped at a lower wealth level. So I need to make sure there's balance to challenge everyone.

Agreed. I had a look at my gear when going for the spend and I think Duncan is pretty covered since I was able to go to ye Olde magic shop at the start.

He does suck vs swarms and ghosts so the Ghost touch wood be nice but happy to skip getting that last 29000 of loot since he'd only just joined and it will help others catch up.

Duncan I think I'm going to have you skip spending your loot at this time.
Everyone needs to get closer in gear wealth.

You've gotta suck at something or else I won't be able to challenge you.

No worries.

I'll just have to remember to wear the helm of not running off by myself and getting killed. Lol.

Swarm of Ghost Rats!

super busy today, I'll get a post up tomorrow.

From the DM perspective that was a fun and challenging fight. The Demon needed to have a cohort though to inflict actual wounds while he controlled the battlefield.

Indeed, with some weak but sufficient damage-dealing mooks, that fight would have been rather deadly.

Swarm of Ghost Rats!

Bingo

After so many games with Baldwin, you'd think I'd find a way to include an anti swarm spell in one of my builds.

I do actually have a VERY scary Cross loosed Spec/Admixture Evocation Specialist wizard that can nuke just about everything but I'd never play such a weakling class. (Can't bring myself to not play a melee char)

Maybe one day Baldwin will let me play a Magus....

Sorry if I killed your hound Karnog

I believe you did, and you got eaten by a shark..

Ah! I forgot about that. But I think that death might have been because I needed to take a hiatus?

I'm really busy this afternoon, so I won't be getting the post up until this evening.

If this is right after combat, Kalim should still be flying, I think.
