Just PM me if that link expires

That was a crazy hard fight all around!

So, behind the scenes, he had DR10, and regeneration 5, and a super high AC - that's a rough combo. However, he ran out of spells with which he could affect you. He could have stood with you and tried his scalpel for 27 rounds, but I made the judgement call that he'd rather try to haunt you later;)

I love it.

Nice!

Everyone, please level up to 4;)

Sorcerer level 4:
HP +5
BAB +1
Will +1
Ability score (Cha)
Skills: Knowledge (arcana), Spellcraft, UMD
Background skills: Linguistics x2 (Elder Thing, Yithian)
FCB extra 1st level spell known
0th level spell known: mending
1st level spell known: ear-piercing scream
2nd level spell known: flaming sphere

Swapping out color spray in favor of liberating command.

GM are those languages okay? I justify them by saying the "formerly mind swapped" trait means Cerio would start to discover he knows these strange words and sounds.

Very interesting info re: Tatterman! I'll be on that Discord channel at some point too and will update here or there if I have questions about leveling up T'eron to 4, thanks.

Thanks T'eron, and you're certainly welcome to hop over. Hit me up when you're ready and I'll send you a new link - I think they're only good for 24 hrs.

Looks good Cerio!

I will be away until middle of next week. Have a good long weekend everyone. DM bot me as needed.

Thanks Ulfric, you too! We're in a good housekeeping phase, so Ulfric will be looming and scowling appropriately;)

+1 Wisdom
+1 BAB
+1 Fortitude
+1 Will
hp: 1d8 ⇒ 1round up to half +5 +2 Constitution +1 favored class = 8 hp
+3 skills [+1 Perception, +1 Acrobatics +1 sense motive]

First part of my level advancement:

+1 Constitution
+1 BAB
+1 Fortitude
+1 Reflex
HP: 1d10 ⇒ 10 + 1 Constitution + 1 Favored Class = +12

Spending of skill points and addition of slayer talent to be added in my next comment. Please confirm everything looks correct above as well, thanks.

On a related note - are any of the (non-advanced) Slayer talents listed here available to choose from? I ask because there are non-Paizo ones included there as well.

Sure, I don't see where any of them look too wonky. Have at 'em

I forgot about the level up..... Ahh jeez. I'll try to make sure to do it this week. My weekend was spent shoveling 6 yards of dirt into various places around my house.

Cool, thanks (looks like I'm going with a standard one, though).

Quick question on that note - how specific is Weapon Focus treated? Solely for the defined weapon, for does it extend to ones that are similar enough?

Also, since I haven't finalized anything yet, do you mind if:

1. The +1 Constitution I mentioned becomes +1 Dexterity
2. The +1 Favored Class bonus applied to my HP is removed in place of gaining +1/6 of a new slayer talent. Wasn't factoring that in here

?

Final level up, GM please confirm when you can and I'll apply, thanks!

+1 Dexterity
+1 BAB
+1 Fortitude
+1 Reflex
HP: 1d10 ⇒ 10 + 1 Constitution = +11
1/6 Slayer Talent as Favored Class bonus (do I need to choose this one now?)

+7 Skills
Knowledge Arcana
Knowledge History
Knowledge Planes
Knowledge Religion
Perception
Acrobatics
Stealth

+1 Slayer Talent
Precise Shot

Sounds like alot of work, Ulfric! No worries, take your time.

That sounds good T'eron. Weapon focus is for a specific weapon; there are actually some forums where some argued that weapon "Type" as written would mean bludgeoning, slashing, etc. But, the Feat as defined says you can take it for different specific weapons, so for this, it'd be a specific weapon - like weapon focus: greatsword.

Great, thanks, applying shortly. All clear re: Weapon Focus too :thumbsup:

What about this part?

> 1/6 Slayer Talent as Favored Class bonus (do I need to choose this one now?)

Excellent!

For that, you'd pick up that 1/6 now, and you build up to 6/6 and then can take that talent at that point.

All clear, thanks!

Wondering - would a Knowledge check of some sort return useful info when doing a deeper review of the Chain of Nights book?

Possibly, but first and foremost would be reading it. Cerio was going to but was interrupted when Winter came a-calling. Want to do so now?

Yep, as soon as possible!

Agreed!

Re: the Local/History Knowledge checks I just made, do I need to be more specific next time (asking a specific question, etc.)? Or will such general usage work?

Specifics always help, but I can typically get the gist from the context;)

I'll be on a family trip from this Weds through this Sunday; posting will be very limited during that time.

Roger that, enjoy!

Thanks!

I am going on a 5 day hiking trip from Saturday to Wednesday (kinda snuck up on me sorry for the short notice) then going on a canoe trip next week Saturday/Sunday, and owe a buddy a Warhammer game the Friday night, so I can really only post next week Thursday. To make thing easy, I am going to take the whole week off and come back July 5.

Please bot Ansgar as needed and again, sorry for the short notice.

No worries, and have fun!

Guys, I may start using roll20 for some of the maps for this, anyone have any issues accessing/using that?

:thumbs_up:

My level up that was due weeks ago:

HP: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
FCB - skill point
+1 bab
skill points - 2+1(int)+1(fcb) +2BG
+1 fort
+1 will
+1 str
channel energy class feature
2/day smite now
can cast 1 1st level spell

Hey all, sorry for lack of participation of late. To be honest, as enjoyable as playing this is, just not feeling up to it right now. Feel free to bot me if needed, thanks

That's cool T'eron. Just let me know if/when you'd like to come back

Guys, with T'eron on a break and Cerio MIA for the time being, did you want me to put out an invitation for someone new?

Hey again, sorry to add interruption to the game flow, needed a breather and I'd like to pick it up again. I hope Cerio is able to come back soon too (hope you're doing okay, man!), do you think we should wait?

No worries at all man, I get it.

Cerio is in 5 or 6 of my games and is MIA in all of them. Really hoping he's alright. I'm fine continuing with 3/4, but 2/4 is a bit rough. We can start back in whenever you're back T'eron, but take your time.

If you guys want me to invite anyone else, just let me know.

Thanks, I should be back in a couple hours to pick this up.

Cerio is probably convincing a jury somewhere that he is, in fact, not a lunatic mage.

Lol; probably doing it pretty well too!

Is there a way to add labels to the town map to associate with the places we know?

Absolutely!

Locations added.

There is a much, much better map of Thrushmoor, but it has everything nicely filled in. I'll post that when you either explore everything or get a map somewhere

Nice, thanks!

Anytime!

Is everyone still here? I am making an effort to keep up posting (not succeeding as well as I would like) but the lack on interaction with the rest of the party is making it difficult to keep up my motivation.

If there is anything I can do to help, throw out more hooks, try to motivate people more I am willing to try but I need some input from everyone else here too.

Sorry if this comes off as ranty, but I feel like the game is slowly falling apart, and if it is I would rather figure it out now and either fix it or leave instead of having this drag on for any longer.

I hear you Ulfric, this has definitely been slow-going.

Cerio may be completely gone - he's in 4 of my games and hasn't been in any of them for several weeks.

Leeoli and T'eron, let us know what you think.

I'm always here, but if we don't have party interaction, it's definitely hard to keep going. I'm fine with bagging it if you'd rather - the worst thing is a dead game that keeps trying to struggle on. I'm fine either way, just let me know.

Thanks everyone for playing so far!
