Redemption in the Dragon's Lair (Inactive)

Game Master Terquem

The joys of the bard.

Yeah. I have just concluded that the Bard is officially the best solution to that dead zone of effectiveness my animal companions seem to hit from Level 5-6. Then again, I just have hilariously bad luck with the dice when rolling for these guys.

Hey Terquem... I'm trying to determine exactly how far it is down from the ledge we're on to the landing below to the party's left. I want to say it was 10 feet? Not exactly sure, so I wanted to get your thoughts on whether Jacen would be able to get down there safely and back up to flank the big boy?

The top of the wall is 10' above the ground on both sides of the wall, technically.

But - to the west (outside) the ground is 5' away from the wall, as the wall slopes on that side. You would have to make a Jump check to try and move, in one leap, to the ground on this side or try to rush down the slope. While on the east side (inside the compound) there is a sort of "side-walk" right next to the wall that itself is 3' above the ground, making the top of the wall only 7' above this walking surface. The walking surface is 10' wide (the one that is all along the inner wall, except along the north wall).

Interesting things happened in this round, I will try to get an update up as soon as I can.

So whose turn is it now?

It's me, I need to get Syndir's action resolved and then have the two small monsters go. Sorry for the delay, it was a weird weekend for me

I've had a rough couple of days, I'll be back on top of things as soon as I can.

Im in the same boat so no worries here.

That makes three of us.

No worries Terquem.

I'm moving across the country on Friday; will post if I can, but feel free to bot Elise. She pretty much just runs up into the middle of enemies until she's surrounded.

Yeah no worries Terquem. I will get a post up for Jacen in a few hours.

I'm still not completely sure who should post right now, the post still says Initiative 25, but also in italic "the rest of the group".
If I'm supposed to act, please tell me.

I think it is our turn, Harland. Azana alright went without any objections. :)

Will post later tonight.

OK, I'll be missing for a day or two. If I'm not here when it's my turn
just keep my song going and launch another firework at the big guy.

No worries, enjoy you time away :)

Were the revisions regarding Harland's shot ever made? At this level, 24 damage is a lot to take at once, especially when already as damaged like that demon is. Whether or not it is down really affects my plans.

I haven't posted a "GM Notes" to reflect this, but no the monster is not dead (he had taken 25 points of damage, and then this shot, of 22 +2, will take it to 49 of its 50 hit points. So, unfortunately, it is still up.

Heads up from my end. Since I am traveling half way across the country, my posting ability will probably be highly spotty from Saturday to Tuesday.

now, if the "country" you are traveling half way across is Ireland, that means you should be done in about three hours, right? Or is this a bigger country? By the way, safe journey, and enjoy the scenery.

I missed Elise's Sneak attack damage and will update the monster's status in my next update. I'm going into a three day off relax and should be able to update soon.

Why is the monster stunned? Shouldn't it "just" be dazed, thus not loose any AC or be flatfooted (aka no sneak attack)?

Azana at some point somehow changed from saying "dazed" to saying "stunned", but as far as I know he's just using Dazing Spell Metamagic on Snapdragon Firework.
Hmm, now that I think about it, how the hell does he get Dazing Spell at level 5 as bard? That's a level 5 spell.
It doesn't seem to be in his character sheet...

Is it possible that you misread the fireworks normal dazzled condition as to be dazed and then later mixed it up again with stunned?

Though going from dazzled to dazed to stunned would itself be quite a feat.^^

well that needs some homework, looking into it now

Well that is horrible

but it is all my fault for not checking it out the first time, and the main reason is that d20pfsrd stuff is inaccessible to me from my other computer (it is blocked on that computer).

So the monster is Dazzled Dazzled

and could have taken many actions the previous rounds.

I made the mistake, and we will move on from here with no changes to what has already happened

Well, s!~$ happens.
I'm so used to high level caster using (the already incredible strong and thus quite popular) Dazing Snapdragon Firework that it never occurred to me that he could be using the normal one until I checked why it suddenly stunned the enemy.^^

Well damn, that changes things - we can let that bad boy take a couple or three swings at me to make up for it! (Hopefully I won't regret saying that!)

Oh no, he's a caster could have used a spell or two, but we'll use one this round

Well...crud. I'm sorry. I'm not sure how I managed to get that confused.

Well, he is going to have to cast defensively lest he wish to be AoOed.

Still here and rearing to go. However, I want to see who does what and who attacks who before making any decisions.

Hello all, I'll be going out of town for the weekend, starting late tonight or earlier tomorrow, and will not be back till Monday. So things will be slow for a few days. Sorry

Happy travels - hopefully we can get our posts lined up for your return!

I have never gotten such a beautiful crit before. :)

That was an awesome slash!

I have a funeral to attend this weekend, so my posting ability might be limited or nonexistent. For reference, Kaleelah would want to grab the stuff and get inside ASAP.

The large staff has a weak magic aura (and I always need to do a lot of homework to make sure I treat the Detect Magic and Spellcraft efforts correctly, so I'll get a post up about it soon.

Kaleelah, take care, be well. I think this is a great group of players, thanks for being patient with me.

Today is opening day of the East Idaho State Fair, and I always go, I love the fair. so I'll be away today, but might be back tonight with updates.

Hey Terquem... was curious if I may switch out a feat? The more I think about it... the less I think Point-Blank Shot works for Jacen. I was thinking perhaps I could switch it out for Piranha Strike?

That sounds reasonable, after all sometimes it is a bit harder to create a character at an advanced level and get everything just the way you want it.

Thanks Terquem! I'll update his profile.

The 3d rendering is giving me some trouble (I'm using an older version of AutoCAD on this computer) but a new encounter map with stairs marked is up.

Been having computer issues and trying to post from my touchpad, sorry for the delays

The home computer died today so it might be a while before I am back up to speed

No worries man! I think this is a very dedicated group so I don't think anyone is disappearing anytime soon. Sorry to hear about the computer issues.

Thanks, picked up a cheap little gateway machine today and now I am trying to get it up an running. I saved most of my stuff to thumb dives so it shouldn't take too long

I agree with Faelyn. Do whatever you need to do Terquem. This game is worth the wait.

and please forgive my brief, non-daily postings right now. I'm still swinging at some RL curve balls but everything should balance out here in the next week or so.

Good News - I've got a new computer, it's up and running and I'm back on the site

BAD NEWS - I've lost all my Maptools campaigns, maps and tokens, so I'll be rebuilding this weekend. I'll try to update but if you are needing a map you'll have to rely on the one that is current as I won't be updating maps till Monday at the earliest

Take your time. I'll still be here. :)

I'll be in Japan the next week, thus I don't really mind if my games go slow right now. :)
Afterwards I'm btw. back to European posting schedule.

Thanks for the heads up! Oh, and I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that you can, in fact, just go ahead and talk to each other, you know, make strategies, discuss ideas. Elise had suggested someone go up stairs while she goes down. Anyone, Bueller,

Could we get a list of what exactly we poached off the bodies?

to the best of my knowledge (I'll go back and check again) the only item recovered specifically mentioned by a player, was the large magical staff, carried now by Azana.
