Rappan Athuk set in Nirmathas, Golarion

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Hectic day today, I won't be on till later.

I anticipate that it will be another hectic day but I put up a summary and revised map for everyone.

I will be out of touch tomorrow and more likely than not, not able to post until the late evening.

I'm won't be able to post till Monday. Out of town.

I'm back from visiting an ill family member.

I am going on my yearly cabin trip til sunday. I'm hoping to have internet... will let you know ASAP if I do. If you don't hear from me tonight, please DMPC me.

Ok thanks for the heads-up

I don't suppose Kalim's focus with the longspear transfers to a boar spear, does it?

Yes it will.

Woohoo!

If anyone's curious, the boar spear's name is "pig butcher" in Hindi.

Busy day today, I'll get some posts up tomorrow.

It's game night so, I'm logging off. I will get initiatives up tomorrow.

Can you give me game mechanic options for dealing with those barrels?

How can Argrim push the barrels out of the way or on top of the goblin?

Does Argrim have to roll anything special to get to W9? Can he melee attack from W9? Will he have cover from W9?

Why do the goblin and Argrim only go in Round 1? Is that a surprise round? If yes, why did the goblin get a full attack? Curious.

thanks

Your last question first: I previously stated it was not a surprise round for you. The goblin and you go first in Rd 1 simply because the others are single file behind you and do not know what is happening at this point. You stumbled on the barricade, you were not surprised, but initiative order has the goblin before your action. After RD 1, the others know what's happening and can act. To simplify my workload I rolled everyone's initiative at the outset.

As far as the barrels, they are similar to what you've encountered entering the cavern. It's a barricade 5 - 6 ft high with shooting gaps, you really don't know how deep they are or what is on the other side of the barrels, nor do you know if they are braced, or attached to the ground, some how. Nor do you know if they are trapped but they've had 2 days to prepare the ground. That does not bode well for the group.

You can try to climb the barrels, chop them away or sunder them, pull or push them away that's up to you.

To get on top of the barrels will require move action, climb and acro to balance. You figure your head won't hit the tunnel ceiling but the humans won't be so lucky, if they try. If you get on the barrel you will have high ground but no cover. It'll be hard to use a melee weapon if you stand on the barrels to reach a small goblin near the ground. A spear would work nicely. If you are trying to kneel or crouch on the barrel that would be less problematic but would require another acro balancing.

Hey, sorry I haven't been posting for a while. I'm still on, but cool real life stuff means not a lot of time for PbP right now. I'm not dropping out by any means, just wanted to reassure everyone that I'm still here.

I'm suggesting someone cast shield on Agrim, then we move up to barrels together where Rammellorn will chop barrels out of the way.

Shield won't help Argrim. He wears a chain shirt.

I would prefer someone activate his cure light wounds wand.

It would be great if a spellcaster could disable that archer giving us time to shift the barricade.

Are we waiting for Kalim to act on this statement?

I'm waiting on someone to act. Right now everyone has cover and is out LOS for attack.

Did this game stall, because the caster have no AoE spells?

Should Argrim just throw himself at the barrels to restore the pace of this game?

I've been swamped today. I'll get a few posts up tomorrow. I'm going aon a short vacation on Friday but I'll have my computer with me, I should get a post or two up during the trip.

I'll be hit a miss for the next few days. Probably limited to one or two posts a day.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I'll resume on Tuesday.

I was away for a few days but I'd like to do a roll call to see who is till around. I've noticed some folks haven't posted in a while.

Argrim and Karnog have posted since Sunday.

Everyone give a shout out if you are still around.

I'm here! Kalim's waiting for the plan to go in effect.

I'm here... I will post in a few

Recently, the office's PC were changed and presented serious problems. Likewise, my own PC was in maintenance so I couldn't see the maps for some weird reason.

Now I can see the maps from my home, but still get blocked by office's restrictions (a.k.a. Fortiguard).

Rammellorn is the only who has not checked in so far.

I did drop Rammellorn a PM but I haven't heard back.

Still no word from Rammellorn.

Heads-up: I'm going to be very sparse from Thurs through the weekend, a quick vacation. I'll would like to try to gt us into the larger cave so more people can act by tomorrow....if possible. I will also try to get a post up while I'm away but that depends on the internet.

Next we are melee light with the loss of Varl and Rammellorn as gone MIA, I've invited someone to build a character to join the game. I game with him in another campaign and he's a fun roleplayer.

Dotting - I will update Malcolm to third level and make any necessary adjustments for final review tomorrow. Thanks for the invite.

Rolling HP for Third Level: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Ok.

Just make sure you check out the camp info tab, I'll take a look at the character today.

I have completed all updates. Please let me know if I missed anything. I am going to dot on the Gameplay Thread so that it appears on my tab. Thanks

Looks good to me.

He's too tall for a dwarf

LOL!

There are/were quite a few dwarfs in the party.

There are/were quite a few dwarfs in the party.

And rightly so!

Nibb will hold on in the rear, since he is too far from the action to be of any help.

And let's face it, he is no warrrior. He would evade unnecesary danger if possible.

At least, he can keep watching from ambushes in the rear, but nothing more... for now.

EDIT: I was hoping there was another dwarf to add to the crew. The ones who are here actually are very fun. :)

Maybe we can reincarnate him into a dwarf? You too Nibb!

I, personally, enjoy dwarves, but Malcolm will certainly be staying Human.

I took a quick vacation, I'll get a post up by Sunday.

Are you giving Argrim another round 9 redo?

Are you giving Argrim another round 9 redo?

I missed that you stowed your battleax which was a second move action.

Sorry for not having posted in a while, but RL things have kept me very busy.

Sadly, there's no hope on the horizon, so I think I have to step out for a long while.

Good luck to everyone and I'll be keeping an eye on (how are you going to be horribly slaughtered) your adventures delving into Rappan Athuk!

As for the uncertainty of my ability to keep up with the campaign's pace, maybe (if the GM allows it) I can come back once I have enough time to be a regular poster.

And quoting Argrim:

Cheers!

Nibb - Drop me a note if your schedule opens up. I liked your character.

Nibb no! You were the only one that could understand me! I mean... Aklo.

Cheers... May RL be better than your rolls.
