Wahoo!
OK, both Ankih and Avora seem to be indicating they have the Yeti cloak. Who is correct, since only one has entered the game.
? Thought that Avora had it, but since she has the spear, she'll give the cloak over to Ankih.
Mez - I don't suppose there's a chance Kalt stumbled upon a decent bow while sneaking around behind Bugsby in town? I totally meant to look for a composite Str bow and forgot. I'll have to kill that troll with a shortbow, gonna be awesome.
Hey sven, keep the dirty talk ic. there are gnomes present! ;-)

HUGE SIGH :)
I should say sucks to be Kalt then, since apparently he forgot to shop while he was keeping Bugsby out of trouble... BUT I'm a kind GM who doesn't want there to be any gripes about being under geared when I kill you all, so sure, you could have commissioned a bow while in town.
I feel a bit cheesy taking you up on that, Mez. At the same time, I want to ask if there was a MW +3 STR rating bow kickin' around. And then I'm faced with the choice of dropping a 700 gp bow so I can get my sword out next round.
How about this: I commissioned someone to make me a MW composite longbow with a +3 Str rating, but it won't be ready until next time we go to town.
And Sven will remind me to go pick it up.
Oh, I see how it is. You're the Lawful Good helpful type when it's convenient, but as soon as someone really needs your help, you focus on your own needs.
Mez, what are your views on what causes a paladin to fall? I think right now is an excellent time to discuss this.
lol, however you want to handle it Kalt. I really don't mind. I am just laughing that the game stalled for a few days with me asking if anyone wanted to buy something, and 2 seconds into the first fight someone face palms over the fact there WAS something they wanted. Happens every time :D
Cause for Fall: Failing to remind people of their own needs and responsibilities. :)
Cracking me up over here!
See, and here was I was going to have him fail a reflex save and fall into the snow... badump-cha
I'm going to rule that failing to remind a friend to shop and run errands will not cause Sven to fall, especially since he was too busy tending Avora. I wanted to make some crude sexual joke, but I'm going to be adult about this. lol
I do agree that RoW puts you in a foul spot with respect to being geared. I followed the thread a good while before I came in and read up from the beginning. There just isn't much available to the party and that makes it rough. Add to that the weather effects and you have, in my opinion, the harshest AP to date when it comes to the first book. We just have to pull together and make the best of it! :)
Cause for fall: Playing hide the purple worm with your Neutral druidic girlfriend. :)
Adult? Me? Nah.
Seriously, though, it's not the strangest relationship I've encountered. I once had a vegan druid who was in love with a (very carnivorous) weretiger.
And Capt. Trips can tell you all about stubborn paladins (Sir Karse).
Besides, now he can put a little good in you... EEYYYOOO
Well, it could be a way of converting evil witches. Filling them with good. *double rimshot*
Knowing what Nazhena looks like, that may be right up Sven's alley, until Avora turns him into a fish and goes bear on him.
Would she be filling her with neutral?
Also, Ankih needs to post so we can continue with the fight. I want to Rend some PC's :D
My gnome-ish ears are burning over here.
Wait did you say Avora was going bear on him? Or bare on him? These little nuances...
As far as Ankih's actions - produce flame at the troll sounds like a fine plan. And someone needs to chuck the grappling hook (which is being carried by...?) onto the wall at some point, so Bugsby can climb up under a rain of arrows and go all Bugsby on the guards.
i know i asked someone to carry it, but never specified who... any takers?
sorry for lack of posts... have pneumonia and have been down in bed for a day or so. On antibiotics and back in the game tho...
ugg, as someone with chronic bronchitis, you have my sympathies.
Sorry to hear it Ankih. I had Christmas pneumonia years ago and it sucked, glad you're moving in the right direction.
While I'm posting, I'll take a moment to celebrate Kalt's on the troll - only 2 points shy of my max, focused, power attack crit damage. I'm so very pleased.
Some questions I’ve been looking over because I’ve never seen an overrun before:
Overrun normally causes an AoO, Avora’s bear form gives her the ability not to provoke AoO’s from doing the Overrun. Does that mean she doesn’t provoke for moving through a threatened square since the troll has Reach?
She didn’t KD the troll, so what does being in his square do for her? Can he not attack, does she get bonuses to her AC or something. Perhaps I’m just confused over what purpose overrun would have against a single target.
I could see overrunning someone to get at people behind them, but in this case, I can’t find anything that limits my actions or prevents me from doing anything.
Moving through a threatened square would still provoke. The act of using Overrun is what doesnt provoke. If a creature is occupying the same square as another creature, and they are smaller than that creature, they are considered to have cover against the larger creature. The problem is, overrun is the act of running through a target, not stopping in their square, so you would not have the option of occupying the same square unless you had a feat such as Monkey Shines which allowed it. To validly overrun you must be able to pass through the occupied square.
So would that mean that Avora tried to knock the troll over and effectively bounced off his leg? She beat his CMD, but not enough to KD him. Would that mean she pops out in the square next to Kalt? Could she be hiding under the trolls legs?
If she beat his CMD she would have passed through his square and continued her movement to the other side. Basically she should be on the other side of the troll, flanking with Kalt.
Ahh, OK, that works.
I was about to give the same answer as Gil - she'd end up past the troll, in flanking position, which I imagine was Avora's intent.
Yup.
Another question for the group, this time about Alchemists: How is it rationalized that they get new bombs on a fresh day if they are in the middle of a dungeon? It’s not like they have gone out and found new ingredients. You could say they just spent an hour regrinding the sulfur and stuff, but whats to stop them from doing that during a day after they’ve exhausted their current supply of bombs?
Just having a hard time wrapping my head around a physical object that refreshes itself daily.
I've always imagined them as having a 'component pouch' that was just always on their person. I picture them as only needing minute amounts of the chemicals for their bombs, and they just are continually working on them... like a tinker in a toy shop. 2cp.
If it helps:
In order to create a bomb, the alchemist must use a small vial containing an ounce of liquid catalyst—the alchemist can create this liquid catalyst from small amounts of chemicals from an alchemy lab, and these supplies can be readily refilled in the same manner as a spellcaster's component pouch. Most alchemists create a number of catalyst vials at the start of the day equal to the total number of bombs they can create in that day—once created, a catalyst vial remains usable by the alchemist for years.
So basically, they make them from pretty much nothing. Its not explored or defined in the mechanics of the game, so anything else is really just flavor. In essence they are spells, with a non-mechanics driven physical flavor to them. There is no defined or implicated cost to making bombs just like there is no cost for all the bat guano and eyelashes an arcane caster carries around with them.
I guess, I just dislike ambiguity and stuff appearing out of nothing.
Gilganis, if you could post that large of a response, you could have posted your action!! :p We are just waiting on you after all.
Blah, I forgot! I'm posting now!
Oh dear.
