Would I be able to carve my way into that tent and get behind Sparkles as my round? Just not sure if it's something I can do in one turn.
You could. Let's say carving through it is equivalent to an attack. Tent's just canvas, so I'm not going to worry about its hp. You can just move there and declare a hole cut. :)
Can we assume the "Let Blink get spotted" plan went... according to plan?
Also: Sorry I've been a little out of it, term papers coming due.

Yes, everything works out.
Also: That's fine. Don't feel bad about it. :)
I have to leave in 36 hours on a business trip where I won't have access to the Internet. I'll return about this time in a week. So, I'll RP until I go. Then, please DMPC me.
cheers
Hey GM, are Summoned Creatures in your game temporarily created creatures without any real existence once the spell ends, or are they possibly intelligent creatures called to fight and sent home upon completion? It'll affect whether Blink suggests calling them inside the fortifications to act as a further delay or not.

I generally presume they're not real creatures, but if a summoner wanted to go otherwise that would be fine by me. So that's a Yridhrennor question. :)
Hey guys. I'm heading to DC for a conference on Tuesday. I fly back the following Sunday. I'll have internet, but i expect to be pretty busy thursday through Saturday. Bot me if needed.
I'm afraid I shall also be missing, due to a funeral. Please feel free to bot as needed.

That sucks. :(
Looks like we've probably lost Ljos. His player hasn't been active in more than a month. I shot him a PM last week and haven't heard back.
I'm going to write him out. That leaves the party with:
Steave (brawler/paladin)
Blink (arcanist/rogue&slayer)
Galin (fighter/warpriest)
Theran (barbarian/oracle)
Yridhrenor (arcanist/diviner)
I've been stress testing the party a little bit this fight and, at least on my end, it feels properly chunky but with a sense that the party is making progress rather than just grinding. You're not hurting for any of the big four roles. I'm inclined to leave it be rather than seek a replacement, unless you feel strongly otherwise.
Personally I have no objection to just leave it be, the group is working pretty well together even without him.
Happy to continue as is.
Me too I'm good with life as we know it
5 players is good. The PC mix is good too with the gestalt.
Well, if everybody wants to go on as is, then I say we should find seventeen new players.
(okay, we're good as we are.)
Hey gang! I'm heading to the big island for three days of fun starting tomorow morning. I won't have reliable internet so, please DMPC as necessary.
*whew*
So...how did we feel about that fight? :)
Draining. I definitely wanna grab Blink a cold iron sword. For some reason I thought Silver worked on Demons, but I guess I'm thinking some other evil nether-realm dwelling monstrosities.
We also need to make sure all of us are carrying healing.
Blink. Ask Steave. He'll loan you his.
A longsword won't help her that much. She's a finesse fighter.
As for the fight, I don't mind when boss fights are that tough. but if we're expected to do much more today, that could be difficult.
We should also get some CLW wands. I think most of us can use them. Perhaps have a share of treasure for party funds and buy consumables out of that.
Yes, sadly, it's a Curve Blade I need. The joy of a highly focused build.

It's a one and done. I intentionally dialed things up, but I'm not a sadist. :)

*poof* Blink has a cold iron Curve Blade. It came from
1) This was always her sword, retroactively.
2) Blink switched weapons when the army was stocking up and/or found a spare in the army stores.
3) There's one somewhere around the site that she finds.
That was rough.. but fun! I felt like challenged and junk!
kudos!
As a GM I love it when the final battle leaves the players with the feeling that they've been through the wringer and they are surprised that they were able to win.
As a player, it's much more stressful. But I do enjoy this.
And there will be much rejoicing!
Oh, and Blink, be sure to buy some silversheen (the alchemical item). Switching weapons means we're bound to get a creature that needs silver.
I assume we'll get a couple days to rest up?
I've just got a wand of CLW.
Oh, and my attacks count as good while I'm raging. Does anybody want the scale of sacred weaponry?
Scale of Sacred Weaponry: Three times per day as a standard action, the scale can be used to cast align weapon, but only to make a weapon lawful or good. Unlike a normal align weapon spell, this effect can be cast on an unarmed strike or natural weapon.
I assume we'll get a couple days to rest up?
You can take a rest if you like. The queen didn't put you on a firm timetable.
My family is leaving for a week vacation tomorrow. My posting will be spotty. Bot me as necessary. Thanks
Cheers
Steave has paid for 10 charges of a CLW and IH wand. So, let me know if you need support
-Theran I'll take the scale if you don't mind. If you'd like, you can take the Scale of Martyrdom instead, since you have more hp and can make better use of it.
-I think the difficulty of the fight was perfect given our party makeup, not too hard at all but challenging enough to certainly put the pressure on.
-If we're able to rest, can I make saves to remove these pesky negative levels?

They automatically expire after an hour. Enervation is tidy that way.

Sounds great to me.
Yridhrennor's good on gear, but i need to reconfigure his spells... some first levels got in the second slot *sigh*
Mass Crafting & You
So the Craft rules are kind of a pain. As it stands, acid costs 100sp a flask. A day gives you the result of the skill check * the craft DC, 15, in sp. Divide by seven for a single day because the default rules assume you take a week. Assuming you bust 15, of course. Y can do that by taking 10.
But there are 100 paladins who could be organized into a little assembly line of aid anothers. Could roll all that but let's approximate by saying their help knocks the gold-to-silver conversion part out of the equation and makes a day the equivalent of a week. They're lawful; they know how to follow orders.
Also it's a cool idea and I'd rather reward creative play than get caught up in bookkeeping.
So for a day's crafting, Y can get 1d10 for busting the DC 15, plus 1d6 more for every point above 15. This will exhaust the army's supply of improvised reagents.
works for me
So...shall we have the more dex based/long ranged characters lob acid at those two swarms while the heavy hitters run in towards the queen, screaming the eternal battle cry "WILL IT BLEND!?"
*sigh* you civilized people just don't understand how to do things. the proper battle cry is
I prefer to ask nicely. Then you can sit on the remains and answer, "Yes, yes it will."

I know Theran's a barbarian and all, but that's not even close to the correct spelling of "Not in the face!" or "I'm too pretty to die!"
...OK, Samnell, that made me laugh far too hard.
I know Steave's confusion only lasted one round - was that true for all of us?

Yup; you're good to go now. Save or not, a given swarm can only confuse you once per day so you've been through the worst so far as brain-whammies go.
2d6 unresistable unmissible unsavable damage to everyone in the area, ground is now difficult terrain for 5 rounds
Actually DR resists stone's call. Stone spells are treated like weapon damage not spell damage.

Theran has the hp to lose. Seems cruel to deny him the chance to realize their benefits because of DR. But also cruel to deny him the pleasure of DR. Obviously we need to neatly bisect this infant over here, half for Deskari, half for Baphomet, and then it'll all work out.
Always suspected Yridhrennor was a closet demoniac.
Hi Players,
Thought you might be interested to know that in 25 years of gaming I have never successfully gotten off a Vrock's dance of ruin until tonight. This is a particularly nice one because it could easily have killed Yridrennor if it blew at full strength. Even still it did 23 damage. So if the first vrock hadn't lost the dance and then gone down, it would have been 10d6.
+23=42. Even with a save, that would have put Y into the negs and Blink into single digits.
Good teamwork and good strategic play. You monsters. :)

I know what you did in the winter of 1996.
We agreed never to talk about that!
I'm glad we've helped you achieve a life goal. If another is to make players cry, you've done that too. *Sniff*
Just a heads up, I won't be able to post for the next two or so days, so if I'm holding anything up then please bot me.
