Stitched Soul (Su) Rasputin’s soul is stitched to his body with threads of fate, and he clings tenaciously to life. He gains Diehard as a bonus feat. In addition, when first reduced to a number of negative hit points equal to or greater than his current Con score, Rasputin dies, but he springs back to life 1d4 rounds later as if the target of a resurrection spell.
I'm not saying that the spell didn't work. I'm saying the body was in a lot of pieces, and he likely took at least one parting shot depending on when the resurrection kicked in.
Ressurection:
Upon completion of the spell, the creature is immediately restored to full hit points, vigor, and health, with no loss of prepared spells.
Can you kill him at his full hp with mage sword? Even on a crit the answer is no - so you might be able to damage him, but he'd still get away.
Einar you wouldn't even get it since he's invis.
Not to mention it was just a wee. Pop into ground.
oooohhhhhh parting shot on Rasputin.... I'm in....
also edited a second time looks like five hits aimed at two yeti, unless I made a mistake somewhere
Do your shopping this once - then I'll pop everyone to book 6.
Mr. Whiskers is in favor of the group keeping at least one Maxim of Suppressing Fire and whatever ammunition it requires. He may not like the technology, but he can see where having something that can go straight through cover would be useful.
If Shu will take them, he does think we might as well get rid of the gas masks and suits. The one special gas mask someone might want to keep though-- another item to see through fog and such plus some other nice specials.
He thinks that with a Floating Disk he can make it work.
---
I guess I should have kept that list of staves I was looking at. I'll have to look again at what is reasonably priced and not Fire or Cold.
Yes you can sell the gas masks and suits - not that they'll fetch much (25 gp per piece).
Also Shui tells you the cloak of etherealness is actually a cursed cloak of immolation.
That is if it hasn't changed.
Really depends on what we have for money and what items we should keep. I still need to look up what a Well of Many Worlds and some of the other items are. The special gas mask is nice.
More than likely I will be looking to pick up the Gloves of Storing, Spark Staff, see if I can pump my Int item, and look at what else can be done.
Although it is fighting yesterday's battle, I'm seriously thinking that an Ectoplasmic rod would be nice.
Really depends on how much cash we have, which requires I find some time to look over the loot sheet to see if there is anything I should be claiming.
wow, lots of gear, having thought about it a little, I don't think Einar needs a shot gun a rifle and a pistol, he's not going to any three gun shoots
Does anyone mind if he just keeps the pistol? After Dimitri repairs it, I mean.
Also the ring of protection + 2?
also should we keep the Frontovik's Gas Mask?
Should Dimitri keep the snipers helmet?
Crummock please put the Ushanka of the Northlands back in the kitty.
Crummock can use mending on it, and its fixed.
Also, level yourselves to 15 while you're at it.
It is magic, should be using make whole.
Mr. Whiskers wants the cauldron of plenty. Whole group probably does.
Mr. Whiskers wants the dimensional grenades and is trying to decide on the belt of physical perfection.
This spell repairs damaged objects, restoring 1d4 hit points to the object. If the object has the broken condition, this condition is removed if the object is restored to at least half its original hit points. All of the pieces of an object must be present for this spell to function. Magic items can be repaired by this spell, but you must have a caster level equal to or higher than that of the object.
Should have checked, sorry.
I've always tried to use Make Whole since it can affect larger items and repair destroyed magic items. Greater Make Whole is even better.

Loot:
Sell the scrolls of Chain Lightning and Mass Hold Person. DCs on scrolls tend to be too low to be very much use and the hut's library has me spoiled.
I do want the belt of Physical Perfection +2 to replace my belt of Con +2. I don't recall if I bought the current belt or we found it as treasure. I'll try to find that out later. If it was claimed treasure, you can put it in the pot to sell.
As mentioned before, I also want the dimensional grenades and cauldron. I will need a better way to transport the cauldron at some point -- too bad Shrink Item doesn't work on magic items.
Now that I've read the description, definitely sell the Well of Many Worlds. Almost seems like a cursed item.
Things to add to my shopping list:
* Lesser Talisman that does Breath of Life, Freedom of Movement
* Look at scrolls of Mass Cure spells -- I have enough UMD and Charisma for 6th level cleric/oracle spells.
* Review previous list. I know that I will want the gloves, probably other things.
* Scroll of Breath of Life, see comment about UMD. Since I want gloves of storing, first aid gloves will not do it.
If someone has suggestions for spells I should be looking at, please let me know. I've been struggling with what spells are worth it. Joyful Rapture looks like a good option to undo various status effects.

Rules question before I lock in an Arcane Exploit:
The Counterspell exploit says it works against the "level of the spell being cast". With a Quickened Dispel Magic (or similar metamagiced spell) that should be the original spell level -- 3rd for Quickened Dispel Magic -- correct?
Would the Dispel Focus help with this Dispel check? I think it should because it helps when attempting the dispel check, not when I would successfully counter.
---
I'm going to be attending a convention from July 5th - 9th. I know that my network access will be spotty during that time. Since I'm currently attempting to get done with scenario prep for the two I plan to GM, I am also crunched for time right now.
Alright.
Loot list updated with all the various 'claims'.
Who wants Frontovik's Gas Mask...?
I recommend buying another 5 wands of CLW.
If she successfully does so, the arcanist can attempt to counter the spell as an immediate action and by expending an available arcanist spell slot of a level at least one higher than the level of the spell being cast. You'll need a 4th level spell for quickened dispel. If you prepared dispel magic you may counter using it, with a +5 to dispel check.
Counterspelling in this way does not trigger any feats or other abilities that normally occur when a spellcaster successfully counters a spell.
Dispel focus will not help.
Eh I'd say too big to fit on a floating disc.
The maxim of suppressive cover.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, how about an example of what I think that line is about.
If you had the feat Parry Spell (which sends the spell back at the caster) or Countering Loophole (similar effect) I would agree those wouldn't trigger.
Those are feats that trigger when a spellcaster successfully counters a spell.
Dispel Focus happens before you have determined if the counterspell is successful. It happens regardless of success or failure since it figures into the result of said counterspell.
That is why I think Dispel Focus should work.
If you are still not convinced, I'll drop it here.

Thanks for the picture.
Take the undercarriage off, from the base of the protective shield down.
Cast iron or other heavy metal from a floating disc. Add some clamps on the edge to hold on to the disc. Mount the gun and shield on the cast metal. You said the gun is 160 lbs, so I have over half a ton to work with to make it mount in a Floating Disk and still be able to carry the ammo.
Since the disk levitates off the ground, I could even make legs that hold it in place when not using the disk.
Are you sure this isn't reasonable, assuming I take Craft Weapons?
Once again willing to drop it, especially if none of the other players are interested in having someone fire it. Mr. Whiskers certainly isn't going to take Exotic Weapon Proficiency Firearms. The idea does amuse me.
Honestly, it may be more trouble than it is worth, especially since it would be pretty obvious that we have it and it would also need to stay near either Mr. Whiskers or Nivean.
I would not be eager to put Nivean in harms way. I have avoided making her a target all through the adventures and really am not looking to change that.
Fair enough, I'll allow it since its supported by literature.
I took a literal reading that you cannot apply any feats the first time round.
Weight is not a problem, it's the size. I'd say if you dismantled it it would lose its magical properties.
The more serious reason is that since it ignores total cover, you can shoot at creatures in a room through the walls/door with impunity without them having a chance to even do anything to you.
And we all know you can see through doors without problems.
Thanks on the feat, and I'll drop it on the Maxim.
Sell them all! More loot! Just please do not sell them in Irissen.

I haven't had time to write it up, but I would have been in favor of giving the soldiers a proper burial now that they are no longer undead, especially the horseman. (I'm terrible with names!)
Shui is an interplanar merchant. And she's definitely of the N alignment. Nah they won't end up in the hands of the bad guys.
There's only one of them that's named - the horseman Colonel Lavrenti. Not that there's much of him to bury^^
I'm ok with selling the trumpet of spirit speaking, we used it already right?
Will work on updating today and tomorrow, off today so not on my normal hours...

That would be the one.
It is more a matter of honoring him than fear of him coming back again as undead. Although it seems strange to Mr. Whiskers, on this world evidently undead are not very common. If not for the world engine, my understanding is there wouldn't have been any.

I have the leveling mostly done and will attempt to update my profile before I go to the con. Bot as necessary.

To answer Einar's implied question from the yeti battle, there were so many horrors committed by the yeti, shadow demons, and a few of the other creatures that Mr, Whiskers felt it was better to end their threat rather than make any attempt at redemption.
He does have some practicality when it comes to such things. Not as much as Einar may like, but he does recognize there are creatures that he can't redeem.
Basically once you wrap up the mod, Zorka, Anastasia, Ratibor and about your own troop of riflemen(some of those who you rescued will join up) will go to the next Book with you. You'll have somewhere to set up your base camp, but NPCs such as Anastasia, Zorka, Ratibor and the Riflemen troop won't leave the base camp.
I'll just tell you in advance - there's a combat that the riflemen troops can help you out with - but it COULD possibly get them killed - do you want them to engage anyway?
If they joined up of their own free will Mr. Whiskers would allow them to volunteer. He wouldn't want to pressure anyone and would warn people, but in the end he figures it is their decision if they want to help end an evil.
When we know the specifics, I reserve the right to change my mind based on the situation. ;)
So, how much Kn: Engineering to use Wall of Stone to build a defensive rampart? If we are setting up camp, he would be thinking of using either Wall of Stone or the Rampart spell from APG. Most likely a combination of the two.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I think you sort of need to see the place to understand. It's like this. It even has a warm lake in it. Pretty much your tropical paradise...
They'd happily pitch in. I guess you get to bail them out if they REALLY get into trouble.
So if Einar takes exotic weapons: guns he can shoot the fancy machine gun?
may need to by a magical wagon that the gun can fit on... maybe something that will shrink and fit in his pocket...
Automatic Weapon Quality: Modern firearms include a new type of firearm—the automatic firearm. A weapon with the automatic weapon quality fires a burst of bullets with a single pull of the trigger, attacking all creatures in a line. This line starts from any corner of your space and extends to the limit of the weapon’s range or until it strikes a barrier it cannot penetrate. When an automatic weapon attacks all creatures in a line, it makes a separate attack roll against each creature in the line. Each creature in the line can only be attacked with one bullet from each burst. Each attack roll takes a –2 penalty to account for recoil, and its attack damage cannot be modified by precision damage or damage-increasing feats such as Vital Strike. Effects that grant concealment, such as fog or smoke, or the blur, invisibility, or mirror image spells, do not foil an automatic weapon’s line attack. If any of the attack rolls threaten a critical hit, confirm the critical for that attack roll alone. An automatic weapon misfires only if all of the attack rolls made misfire. A single attack with an automatic weapon fires 10 bullets. An automatic weapon cannot fire single bullets that target one creature. When taking a full-attack action with an automatic weapon, you can fire as many bursts in a round as you have attacks.
Misfire value is 1-2, first range increment 120ft and its capacity is 250 cartridges. Damage is 2d8.
The Maxim M 1910 Machine gun counts as automatic, but firing it will impart a -4 penalty on attack rolls and the recoil will knock you prone.
I am not sure if such a magical wagon exists, but again I've never tried to transport a big object like this before.
Yes as per previous discussion it would cover machine guns as well. Exotic weapon proficiency.
So, does anyone want Frontovik's Gas Mask?
Also, a question for the GM:
Can we assume that we have some 'down time' to prepare for the next bit?
Take whatever time you need, up to a week. I was more worried you'd just start hurrying off to finish the AP.
Well, actually, I was more planning to shift locations, first...
We do still have the keys that took us to Triaxus, and Golarion (since we found them again when we hit Triaxus), and I figure that we should get away from Earth ASAP; going to Triaxus (where our machine gun core can help us defend our holdings) seems like a solid idea.
I also like the idea of leaving Rasputin marooned on Earth, his plans in ruins, and nothing that he can do about it ;-)
The keys don't work now, sadly. The Hut was no longer under your control ever since it hit the prison camp. You're long past the point of no return...
Ouch.
Well then, sounds like we need to arrange a Gate to get home.
I will do some digging...
There's still her library if Mr Whiskers wants to use it. It'll be available through the final book.
Ah never mind, if need be I'll arrange something. Since Mr Whiskers doesn't get 9th level spells at the end of it.
Well, you *could* say that we hit 18th level after 'finishing' the AP...
So, does anyone want Frontovik's Gas Mask?
Einar would like the mask, at least to have it available, he would be willing to share!
Just a FYI - I am deliberately slowing here because this is the one and only time in the AP you'll get to buy anything you want without restrictions. Thus I want you to get the full list, as well as fully level up yourselves - before we move into the next book.
Just a note: Divine scrolls have to be UMDed using wis as casting stats. So you need to make 2 UMD checks if your wis is insufficient.
I remembered it vaguely from someplace - didn't realise I was the one asking that question all so long ago.

Grrr....
So I need a 30 to emulate the ability score and a 29 to use the scroll.
My UMD is +23, so I would need a 7+ to make it. About a 50% chance of making both rolls.
If I have Heroism up, that would bring the chances to about 65% of making both rolls.
If I buy a Circlet of Persuasion for another +3, with the Heroism I would never fail the attribute check so it would go to 95% chance of working.
I'll have to look at the money and think on this.

I am at a convention so I really will not be working on the character that much. Does everything have to stall until I'm ready?
I did get the character leveled and updated the profile except for his spell list. It takes me a while to do the list of spells from his four spellbooks.
I'm sick so stall is good since today I don't feel like doing anything ;)
cute song...
ok, I have Einar close to 15th level, still need to add spells and fix some math equations, I have started working on the 'magic item wish list'
On a more serious note, I've been having a temperature of 38+ degrees Celsius, so I've spent most of my time Zzzing and taking fever medication. I won't be going to work tomorrow either.
Ouch!
Well, take care of yourself...
I know it may be heresy to some, but life comes before gaming!
did Mort just say she was good at pushing buttons... anywho...
Ok the reason I'm posting. Mort you said we can upgrade weapons and armor like we do in PfS. Can we do the same with belts (of giant strength) and headbands (of alluring charisma)?
Go ahead.
just realized something stupid, Einar should have put the "Pharasma symbol" he has on Rasputin instead of cutting his head off.
great, a lecture, just what Einar needs, a lecture...
Also. If Einar purchase This how many of the machine guns can he mount on it and can he have the crab shoot them itself?
