Unless you have silent spell, you can't very well cast in proximity to things without them being able to hear.
Now that we've scouted can Sileth make a stealth roll to retreat to a safe place to cast inviz and then back to join the team and kick off the fight
yes
whispers do any of you want to move back a bit and buff or just charge in and roar?
Sileth casts Wall of force (dismissible) separating drow 1-4 and drider 1 on our side of the wall , and fires arrows per usual at Drider#1.
Cherry Tart summons her pride of celestial dire tigers and has them pounce on the Drow 1-4 (potential spellcasters)
Can Cherry summon as a standard action or is it full round?
MBs charge down into the battlefield arriving on opposite sides of drider1 (flanking). after handling Drider1. Ulthar responsible for drow 1-2, Marckus handles 3-4 both with the aid of the tigers pounce/grab.
Round 2
Sileth casts haste on MBs and tigers....continues sniping
Cherry ....ladies choice
MBs smash
Round 3
CHAOS
if things go well Sileth may dismiss the Wall and we mop up the other half of the enemy.
More likely we just fight chaotically to stay alive.
A downside to plan 1 is since the summons are full round the MBs will be charging down without the summons to occupy the potential drow spellcasters who will get a standard action in the surprise round
[ooc]@buzz
another thought since Cherries summons are full round...
Is there enough space for ALL of us(stealth synergy makes the counterintuitive more optimal...ie everyone sneaking instead of just one) to retreat to a safe casting distance and
r1
group Stealths into safe casting area
r2
Sileth buffs with Grtr Invis
Cherry Summons (something with Pounce)
MBs choice
r3
Sileth Hastes the group and summons
Cherries choice
MBs choice
r4
MBs and Pouncers charge with hasted speed
Sileth moves into position and casts Wall of FOrce
Cherries choice
my vote is for option 2
thoughts?
The keep is large (remember 10' square), and you can move back from the wall if you choose. You don't see any guards on top, they are all inside the walls.
ok so options 1 and 2 are viable...
place your votes peeps
Option 2
Don't care, I just punch.
If it's a new day from the last encounter, Ulthar would like to throw on Stoneskin, Expeditious retreat and Monstrous physique 1 again for the gargoyle utility. Preferably with Sileth while he ducks back for spells.
Option 2 sounds the best, though I dont know if the wall of force will be wise to spend without knowing what else is in the fort.
That's true. Overkill has its price.
That said I'll use my wand of Lead Blades before the fun starts.
Also want to flex into Pummeling Style & Charge so I can unarmed pounce.
Im not sure, is Ulthar still in rage? The ability says "cannot enter a new bloodrage" if fatigued or exhausted instead of cannot rage in general. So I think yes Ulthar is raging, but that's a lot of math to redo if I'm wrong.
Interesting. I just looked it up to be sure (I was under the impression that it would drop rage), but yes you are still raging. You take the fatigued penalties, but remain in rage. When your rage drops you will be exhausted however.
It looks like the D20 site has an FAQ stating the confusion bombs were meant to offer a save like the spell, but still doesn't have an update adding that to the rule text.
Do with that what you will.
Sorry, got the new Dresden Files book and I'm a bit distracted. I'll get back on this shortly. Just need to remember who's up. Think it's my bomber.
Cool.. I'd forgotten that was being released this month. That'll be my next audiobook after finishing Mistborn.
It looks like the D20 site has an FAQ stating the confusion bombs were meant to offer a save like the spell, but still doesn't have an update adding that to the rule text.
Do with that what you will.
And that's one of the reasons why I really like D20PFSRD.COM
I really appreciate the relevant FAQs and notes they post.
Archives of Nethys has the cleaner interface... But they lack that important feature
*Uncomfortable cough*
Right?
Yeah, sorry, just not at all motivated once we lost the healer(again).
Honestly while we're fairly close to the end, there's still a lot of work to build up all the last section encounters from scratch, and then top that off with adding an other player (or running an NPC) and I have trouble caring.
Campaign over then?
Come back Cherry Bomb!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Well given Cherry tarts lack of response it seems like the Second Darkness will indeed take over this realm.
Reworking all the encounters and recruiting another cleric is understandably not appealing.
It's been fun gents we'll always have the
Of course summoning and binding an elder beer elemental is no small thing. The lot of the wizard council packed into their rusty pickup truck, with the most moderately inebriated driving and the others yeehawing from the bed. Off to the local stop'n'rob they tore to pick up their material component.
In short order they arrived back with a massive stack of PBR cases which they unloaded around a large bonfire (prepped by their apprentices) since no drunken magic can be done without an out of control blaze.
With all preparation complete, the wizards started, each shotgunning a beer by puncturing the base while popping the tab for the fastest chug possible. Each completed beer was followed by a voluminous belch.
This procedure appeared to be utterly random, as the pointy eared rednecks just went through the PBR as fast as they could grab it, but as it went on they appeared to come into synch. With the chugging and burps coming into a rhythm.
The last round of PBRs was grabbed, chugged and a thunderous beclh erupted from the council. With that the uptapped keg ruptured and a huge golden humanoid shaped figure with golden translucent body and fizzy white capped head appeared.
"Hey yinz! Whatcha need?"
Then one of the boring normal wizards did some stuff and summoned an alder earth elemental as well.
Between the two elementals, and some instruction from the queen, a hole is opened into the depths of Golarion, the sides fizzing with fresh brewskis.
The Queen, in her hippo like majesty looks at your party "Well, what're yinz waitin fer? Git yinz a going!"
perhaps I'll get some motivation at some point, but yes for now, we're on hold
I have a 13th level cleric that I could copy/paste and toss in here. He is an old fart but is good with summons and buffs.
That could work. Do you want to graft on the gestalt rogue or not bother?
it seems close enough to the end that there is no need.
Seems as if the Old Fart has Resurrect Campaign memorized
Go ahead and post as if you've been there and it's your turn.
Quick update, who is hurt worse and needs heals?
The bad guys could use some help.

Feat:Aerial Roll (Combat)
By spinning through the air, you are able to avoid your opponents’ attacks.
Prerequisites: Fly 10 ranks.
Benefit: You can perform a defensive roll while in the air. As an immediate action, you can attempt a Fly check when you are attacked while flying. If the result of the check is greater than the result of the attack roll, you dodge the attack, causing it to miss automatically. Whether you succeed or fail at the Fly check, the barrel roll leaves you off-balance and vulnerable, causing you to take a –10 penalty on Fly checks until the end of your next turn.

Now that there is one funky feat.
I like to keep things interesting
Though the text of 'off balance on vulnerable' meaning just a -10 on fly is pretty much BS. If they actually meant that, it would be an AC penalty the next round.
Is raging brutality an acceptable addition?
Benefit: While raging and using Power Attack, you can spend 3 additional rounds of your rage as a swift action to add your Constitution bonus on damage rolls for melee attacks or thrown weapon attacks you make on your turn. If you are using the weapon two-handed, instead add 1-1/2 times your Constitution bonus. This bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.
Edit: I think the -10 to fly is meant to make it harder to consistently use the feat to prevent attacks every turn.
Now that there is one funky feat.
Do a barrel roll! Thrust vector.
Perhaps summon a swarm of Lantern Archons to be our cover. So things look like TIE Fighters zipping all over going Pew! Pew!
Yeah, raging brutality is fine (I will regret that).
Love a good Lantern Archon swarm pew pew pew light rays galore
Hmm, use infernal lantern archon swarm on party- check
Will post tomorrow
I have a feeling that this is going to turn into the beach storming scene in Private Ryan.
It's good to have goals.
I could graft on Rogue. From what I see..
+4 Reflex save
+ 8d6 Sneak attack
I can just slap on 15 Skill points to Stealth and
swap Power Attack for Stealth Synergy(Getting into melee really isn't my role since we have the brawler/bloodrager blenders)
yeah, go ahead, but stealth synergy I gave out for free so it's a bonus feat
