You would need the Technologist feat in order to understand it. Yes I know you hate feats that limit already existing things. But there is a reason that there has not been an industrial revolution yet.

Well darn. According to the feat, I am treated as untrained in all of those skills. According to the knowledge skill, I cannot make an untrained Knowledge check with a DC higher than 10. However, it also states that if I have access to an extensive library that covers a specific skill, this limit is removed. The time to make checks using a library, however, increases to 1d4 hours. Particularly complete libraries might even grant a bonus on Knowledge checks in the fields that they cover (I guess it's a good thing that my library is so comprehensive).

Here is a list of things a person can learn, even without ranks in Knowledge:



  • Identify mineral, stone, or metal (Dungeoneering)
  • Identify dangerous construction (Engineering)
  • Identify a creature's ethnicity or accent (Geography)
  • Know recent or historically significant event (History)
  • Know local laws, rulers, and popular locations (Local)
  • Identify a common plant or animal (Nature)
  • Know current rulers and their symbols (Nobility)
  • Know the names of the planes (Planes)
  • Recognize a common deity's symbol or clergy (Religion)

I figure the first two would apply in this case. (What's it made of? Is it dangerous?) I will have to get back to my library before I can learn more.


It looks like just rock, but is in fact crystal The circuits and symbols are traced out by flaws in the crystal. Sometime when you have time you might what to look crystal computing. It does not seem like it is about to fall down.

I'll be out of town today and tomorrow, I may be able to post, but if you're waiting on me then just feel free to bot me.

Interesting to say the least. Good job Riva for sure

For what? The recent battle, or the current roleplay?


Male Orc Expert 5

My brother managed to save my laptop. Sadly though he's recommened a full factory restore. Plus the keyboard and touchpad on it are shot. So basically using it as a desk top for now until I save up for a new one.

At the moment I'm transferring files (surprisingly little of it pornographic) over to various hidey holes. Once that's done I restore it then begin the long slow process of getting my stuff back in order.

So I should be able to post Saturday.

Good luck! I'm looking forward to it!


Good to have you back.

Just a heads up, I'm going out of town tomorrow morning, and internet access will likely be sketchy at best, so feel free to bot me if I'm holding things up.

Once we return to the safety of the kingdom, I will see if I can research a spell that might allow us to power the device using magic.

Ok you win take 600 xp each and 5 of your own undead Trolls over your control. Now I advise you to figure out a way to generate power or go and find the GreenSword in K35.

That's fine with me, but let's not forget the long term plans we discussed as well:

Now that we've taken the Tuskwater and Candlemere, I'm thinking we should expand our kingdom to fill out more of the Kamelands to the South and East.

Once we've incorporated that into our territory, I think maybe we should start claiming both the forest territory between Skunk River and Thorn River to the North, as well as the Old Sycamore and the two bridges that flank it in the Northeast. Those rivers make for a natural, defensive border for our nation and the Temple of the Elk and the Old Sycamore should make for natural fortified outposts.

This will ultimately increase out kingdom's size from 10 hexes to ~25 hexes.

If the Troll Fort hex is cleared, we can move into K31 and begin working our way to the treasure rumored to be in K35. Barring complications, it should add ~2 days to our journey for every detour hex we decide to explore.

With our new skeleton bodyguards in tow, I'm feeling pretty good about the idea of extending our expedition (though keep mind we've been away for almost a week already).


So are you going to explore on the way there or are you going to go as fast as possible?


The inner voice within your ear

I for one would like to explore.


Male Undine Dual-Cursed Battle Oracle 8 AC 21 (touch 12, FF 20); Hp: 59/59; Saves: +13,+12,+14; CMD 21; Perception +14; Init +5(X2)

I'm fine with exploring.


So do you have a path in mind?


The inner voice within your ear

As I said five posts up, we can move into K31 and begin working our way to the treasure rumored to be in K35. We'll just heading right on the map.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

If only this Quick oak had been smart enough to draw scary faces on all the oaks in the area.


The inner voice within your ear

lol.


I kind of find it odd the tree is not evil. I mean most animals are N, but this tree has enough int and wis that it ought to know that killing way ward travelers for fertilizer is not cool.


I had kind of the same reaction, considering that it's intelligent enough to lie in wait for us, I'd have thought that it's evil.


The inner voice within your ear

Maybe it's just extremely territorial. It may be attacking us to defend it's home and to eat and to defend it's home, neither of which is any more evil than a tiger doing the same thing.


Male Orc Expert 5

I have an axe.

I'll use it when I get back monday.


The inner voice within your ear

GM, here's a cool random forest map generator tool that I found: http://www.gozzys.com/wilderness-maps

I thought it might help since we keep going through so many forests as of late.


Elhedril?

It is a cool tool. Do wish it was more clear on what kind of terrain is where.


I don't think I got the rings for the 40 foot spread quite right.


The inner voice within your ear

I'm not certain overlapping areas of entangle would actually do much more than a single casting would. You can't really get entangled more than once. Forcing five saves is pretty awful though. :P

However, having the castings placed in a contiguous array could make for one HUGE coverage area if that was desired.

In any case, your circles were a little small. 40-foot radius means circles 80 feet across. That's most of the map with one casting! I took the liberty of adjusting it for you (I assume you didn't want to catch any of the assassin vines or the quickwood.

Just to be clear, there's no difficult terrain except for the entangle area? And the large trees are wall-like obstacles?


Thank you.

The trees are wall-like, but they don't cover the corners. No difficult Terrain.


Where is Elhedril?

Lost in wedded bliss I'd imagine. She got married a week or two ago. I'll see if I can snag her attention.


If you move please move yourself on the map,


Female Elf Maestro Bloodline Sorcerer

Sorry I don't get to come on much. My job and just getting married has had me busy as all get out.


What is it with all these plants being resistant/Immune to fire? You would think it would be the other way round.


Female Elf Maestro Bloodline Sorcerer

DC 17 reflex save and it would be 13damage with the resistance 10. The oak takes none


Also you have explored and cleared the hex take 25 xp each.


The inner voice within your ear

So what do we find in the next hex?


Sorry I was busy and was having a hard time finding the right hex.


The inner voice within your ear

As long as you don't abandon us. If I lost another PbP game prematurely, I just may give up on them altogether.


Don't worry the only reason I would stop this game would be to start another game and then I would invite all of you. Also this game has been going for more then a year.


The inner voice within your ear

And I hope it goes on until the last module (and perhaps more)!


Male Orc Expert 5

Feeld bad for Toran but at the same time I'm just thanking god that I haven't been jumped immediately for once.


Male Orc Expert 5

How many days has it been since the last fight?


Female Tower Elf Arcanist 8

I cannot wait until I'm 7th-level, and will be able to prepare more than one 3rd-level spell. Switching necessary spells out mid-combat just eats up way too much time.

TarkXT wrote:

Travel and exploration times between hexes would dictate that it's a day or two later.


Yeah, you get jumped pretty much every time, I guess it was my turn haha.


Would have gone for Riva her being an Elf and all, but even though you have never told me your marching order I have assumed you go with the more marshal in the front.


The inner voice within your ear

I suppose we should probably come up with a default marching order for such situations.

Assuming a single profile line, how about Mal in front, the spellcaster Elhedril and Riva in the middle, and our only healer Toran in the back? This way, the weak spellcasters are protected regardless of which direction we are attacked from.

Alternatively, we could have Mal in front, Toran behind him to heal and support, then the casters in the back. This might work better as Toran would have easier access to the whole party, lest we spread out due to area attacks or something. Since he has a fair bit of combat power, it would also keep him closer to the perceived "front line."

All of the NPCs and wagons can be further back, trekking over terrain and areas we have already traversed safely ourselves (think of them as our supply line and us as their advanced scouting party).


So is anyone going to take their turn?
