Not sure if you follow NFL football, but I'm rooting for your Kansas City Chiefs!

Not much for Pro football. I am a fan of college ball and was rather sad to watch my Alma mater lose to clemson.
I've been a fan of the Dolphins since forever (back in the Dan Marino glory days) but NFL gets little more than a weekly highlights show here in the UK (unless you subscribe to satellite TV) so it's kind of easy to follow the sport without it becoming a full-time occupation!!! Having said that, the Superbowl is always broadcast in full over here... and the Dolphins are playing in the London games this year (kinda tempted to go see that).
Isn't that neat? We are from four countries (UK, France, Canada, and USA), and from many scattered within the USA. (San Fran to Alabama, Las Vegas to Kansas City).
I love that our hobby and our technology can facilitate the connections between peoples who otherwise would never meet.
I'm a big football fan...although I'm a Jets fan since the NYSE days. I think Bama got hosed on the penalty at the end...it didnt happen in the end zone...should have been either half way to the goal line or a 5 yd penalty...can't remember which they called...thin it was OPI....
They put it on the two.
I'm not too upset. For one, our defense did a tremendous job, it's just that anyone is going to get tired out by playing for 100 snaps. For another, it was a young quarterback who needs to grow, though I'm not sure what's in Jalen Hurts' future at the moment given some of the recruits that may be coming in. All in all, I'm looking forward to next year and hope that we can make it again.
I am a wrestling fan.
Sorry. ^^
Annnnnnnd.... that's that, folks. Grayface rides off into the sunset (sunrise?) like a cowboy... or as I picture him, more like John Rambo on his personal quest to set right the wrongs of his past.
It's been fun! If things clear up I'll chime in and see if you guys have room for me to help finish up the Spire's delve. If not, then let me say thank you to everyone for being fun, evocative, and awesome friends to play with for the last couple of years.
Peace!

It's been good times gaming with you. Congratulations on the baby, and hope you have an incredible time with this new chapter of your life!
Sad to see you go, and sadder that we spent so little time together, but I am looking forward to seeing you again, and as Yasmin says, congrats on the little one. Hope you have fun passing down the family dice. :D

It's been a fun couple of years with lair after den after crypt falling to Gorloth's Edge... may the wind fill your sails and maybe, when you come around from the dark side of the moon, you can drop by and we'll see whether Grayface can make a triumphant return...
That would be a pretty amusing idea. I wonder if there are some published adventures out there that would tie in well.
@Rallos - As I noted in the gameplay thread, Yasmin is giving you the ability to cast Mirror Image as a Spell Tattoo at Yasmin's caster level (currently 9) once per day. It's like any other spell except you cast it silently, and casting still draws an AOO. This comes from Yasmin's 7th level class ability as a Tattooed Sorcerer.
Sweet! confusion en masse!
So much work!
I'm sorry, I'll try to post ASAP
Folks, just give us the nod and I'll post for you hiking out to the Spire... and, when you get there, hiking to the Mistress of Thorns' level or using the Spire to teleport down?
I'll suggest hike. Tot is owed a tour of the spire.
I say hike...give her the tour
Hike's fine with me. At some point I need to read through the rest of the gameplay thread.
And no need to worry, I know it's not personal, and to be honest, depending on how events play out, Tot may not be a Hellknight before this is done.
Reading through the gameplay thread would be a crazy amount of work! The campaign tab is actually pretty helpful to show who we defeated and who managed to get away. It also talks a little about our outstanding quests. Right now, we want to kill the undead lurking somewhere in the depths, find a wizard named Tiawask (who we found previously but who then disappeared on us and ventured further down), and map out each of the levels of the spire for Abenard Royst. This business with the Mistress of Thorns is it's own quest too, soon to be resolved I expect.
The other strange business is that we can use pieces of the spire to teleport to different levels (by touching the spire). But every time we do that, something weird happens. Sometimes there's a presence that says it's been waiting for us.
Yeah I know. It'probably take me about a week or two to read it all. I've reread the Shattered Star game that Zed is running and I'm playing in a few times. I've gone through the campaign info tab, so I know about some of that.
Reading through the gameplay thread would be a crazy amount of work!
A year or so ago I was recruiting because my game had lost a player. I had a number of awesome submissions but the determining factor was when one person told me that he had read through the entire game up to that point, which was about 2500 posts at that point, if I recall the time correctly. That really impressed me and so he won the gig!
(yeah, I'm still lingering around the boards a bit)
♫ I'll be watchin' you ♫
Oh good. You can point and laugh when this blows up in our faces. :P
@Titania - you're still standing. GM Zed has you at 6HP after your attack. Which isn't great but it's something.
Because Titania is pretty close to falling unconscious / being killed, wanted to discuss what my next action should be. One option which I like is that I can cast Greater Invisibility on Titania, which might divert the bad guy from attacking you. Two problems I see with that:
1. Leaves Yasmin in melee range. But I think that can be solved if you take a 5-foot step back toward Yasmin, in which case Yasmin can use her move action to run away.
2. Could make it harder for Ea to heal you, if that's what she has in mind. But I could make you invisible after Ea has acted.
So yeah, thoughts on that strategy? Other suggestions?
@Titania - you're still standing. GM Zed has you at 6HP after your attack. Which isn't great but it's something.
Yeah, Titania - you didn't take all of the damage that you might have when attacking the Mistress of Thorns (I've ruled - wrongly or otherwise, it's my game!!! - that you only take the damage when you hit... and you only hit once that round).[/ooc]
oh yay!
As for actions, if the GM allows, I will take a five foot step back since Tot is no longer taking a dirt nap. Speaking of, the word used in the description is strikes, so I think it could be argued either way.
In a way, though, I almost rather Tot be down. She's still on her feet, but low enough that she can be killed if she gets hit hard enough and I'd rather not have to replace her after I started getting the hang of her personality. Not really complaining, though. I'm having fun after all! :)
Alright, let's go with trying to keep you alive with some invisibility.
I thought about trying to magic missile or something, but it seemed more reliable to re-group for when the fear effect finally wears off.
I think Yasmin is down to 2 Hero Points after popping one to cast Haste very hastily.

I'm not sure : can a hero point be used on a roll to overcome SR?
I should have thought of that against the devil
From the PRD, If used before a roll is made, a hero point grants you a +8 luck bonus to any one d20 roll. If used after a roll is made, this bonus is reduced to +4... so it would have worked - as I am a kind and benevolent GM, you can use the Hero Point now if you like (it'll get you past the SR for sure) and I'll retcon as appropriate!!!
There's still the question of whether the Mistress of Thorns makes her will save. But an action point for a "save or die" spell isn't bad at all.
I'd do it.
Guess it's a good thing I was so tired last night. :)
Sorry I keep calling them action points instead of hero points. It's a holdover from my time playing D&D 4E.
Okay, Ea's obviously had a couple of busy days so, given that she asked in the first place, I am going to say she use the hero / action point!!!
Ea, brilliant idea preparing Dismissal for this fight!
I have updated the summary of your foes on your Campaign front page... the Mistress of Thorns is neither 'One who Fell' nor 'One who Got Away'... let's just say, you might not have seen the last of her!!!
We should definitely add the dragon to the list - Grayface's last great victory before riding off into the sunset.
And the Mistress of Thorns' return should be most interesting.
yep, very busy but using the Hero point
I just changed office at work, and things will be rough till mid february (cause we are in temporary offices and will move AGAIN near the 14th February)
We should definitely add the dragon to the list - Grayface's last great victory before riding off into the sunset.
DONE!!!
And the Mistress of Thorns' return should be most interesting.
...yep, she is going to seriously miffed with you folks!!!
Probably most miffed at Tot. She was the one that initiated the fight that got her banished and did a heck of a number on her after all. :)
And a new loot table is born - see the URL in my profile.
Just checked out the campaign tab and saw that the dragon had a name! Vrainheis the Magma Dragon? Makes me want to learn more about his story. Maybe something to do when we all roll back into town.
I'm also going to a super bowl event, so understand completely!
