The 5th Mendevian Crusade (Inactive)

Game Master Brian Minhinnick

If no one has by tomorrow when I get into the office, I will.

Course plotted!

Okay, updating all my games tonight after work.

I'm going to leave any further roc arrival RP for flashbacks.

Viorel - You're about 4 hours away from your first 48 hour warning.

I know it's a bit late for me to wake up, but it just dawned on me that we might be in for a change of venue, i.e. underground exploration and good old dungeons.

In that setting, Dusari Sansa's size will be a burden. I have bought a bunch of potions and scrolls. Perhaps I can simply change some for Reuce Animal potions? Or I could change DS last feat for Narrow Frame.

Let me know what you think DM. Again, sorry to wake up this late...

You can change his feat to narrow frame.

Ok thanks!

Also, you guys should come up with a name for your group. Typing "they" "the group" or "the crusaders" gets really old after a while.

T-Dog and Guests?

Trelane's Tranvestites? Oh...wait...

Thaddy's Temptations?

Garrett's Grunts?

D'Argent Danger?

Salem's Sickos?

Working on a post.

I'm afraid we may find we're all Aroden's Amusements. ;-)

BTW, as far as knowledge rolls, Tiknesr's particularly interested in their strong/weak saves.

Sorry I missed seeing your knowledge rolls. The first one is enough for you to know the chaaor's saves. They're in my profile.

Jelani, the flight hex says

At 5th level, she can fly, as per the spell, for a number of minutes per day equal to her level. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-minute increments.

I keep going back and forth re: whether this hex requires a standard action to activate, or if he just starts flying and ticks off one minute from his resources.

He's not going to fly now...especially given that Thaddeus just put him in a Circle of Protection...but worth knowing for the future.

Standard action to turn it on. It functions as the spell which is a standard action to cast, and unless otherwise noted all hexes are a standard action.

Just a heads up, GM; given Thak's reliance on invisibility could you tack on any information about enemy senses to the results of our knowledge rolls? Blindsense, true seeing, etc.

I guess, if you want that to be your "piece of information". The initial check gets you the creature's name and type along with the traits of that type. Every 5 you beat the dc by give you one piece of info. I'd consider senses to be that.

Eh, saves and other defences are probably more important. Just maybe if you can't think of anything else, maybe tack on senses.

Hey Thaddeus, how would you feel about Tik riding one of those archons a bit? They can turn into a Med or Large dog as a standard action, and then could be ridden.

Tik's maximal combat turn would be to get within 40' of one or two demons, take a standard action to hex them, and take a move action to cackle. Riding a mount lets him move and still have a move action to cackle...but even more exciting is the ability to move and have a magic circle stay with me.

If the demons are kind enough to come within 40' of him, it doesn't matter...but now that he's in that lovely nurturing circle he really doesn't want to let go! ;-)

...

Oh Jelani, I probably shouldn't ask this question but...does Tik get the benefit of the Rally Point? It specifies it effects Good beings...but this world doesn't have Good characters, unless they have a divine class...but certainly if there were alignments, Tiknesr's would be Neutral, possibly leaning southward. Let me know how this particular (meta)physics works in this campaign.

Heh; go ahead, ask and you shall receive. A Dire Wolf seems best; Large and 50' movement.

Tiknesr chortles in his joy!

There is good in this world, and Tik certainly isn't good. Sorry bub.

Hehehehe, Tiknesr *might* question the former but he certainly wouldn't argue with the latter.

In that case he only had the 11 THP from false life.

Don't you just hate it when you know your character would be doing this excellent feats a derring do, taking on all challenges to save the day...but IRL you have writer's (in my case right now writer's AND artist's) block so bad it could stop a train?

I do hate that, yes.

Heads up: I'm on vacation from Feb. 5 to Feb. 18, and will most likely be unable to post at all. Please DMPC me as needed.

Post edited, apologies for looking up the driving rules.

Vaguely remember something about creatures with the Good subtype bypassing DR/Good, just wanted to check if I remembered correctly.

No need to apologize. Let me check....

This subtype is usually applied to outsiders native to the good-aligned Outer Planes. Most creatures that have this subtype also have good alignments; however, if their alignments change, they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has a good alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the good subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields are good-aligned.

Yes. Same goes for evil subtype I'm sure.

Alright will roll in the future. Thought readied actions would be different.

Also since our witch just put the things to sleep will wait untill posting for some of our more suited people to deal with the things.

I can already see I have my work cut out for me now that Tiknesr is in the party. -sigh-

-blushes-

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me. ^_^

EDIT: Seriously, I've never played a full caster at this level. When I started building Tiknesr, I was like, whoa!

Of course the flip side is he's the very picture of a glass cannon. I imagine unless I'm very careful he'll be an extremely effective combatant for a handful of encounters....and then he'll get eviscerated by foes who catch on to what he's capable of, and I'll be off to roll up a barbarian.

We'll see about that.

Ill be posting tonight, just finished my Round 3 encounter. Sorry for the delay guys! :)

Sorry for the delay, RPG Superstar has been a huge time sink. Apparently I'm going to be interviewed on the Know Direction podcast next week and-- there's just so much going on right now!

Tik is ready to continue on. Do we have a reason to want an escort?

As a tangent, y'all have a copy of the contract, signed with her and your blood, yes?

These chariots can ride over water easily, are they going to have any difficulty in the swamp?

From the water no, but the general amount of trees and sticks and crap in the way, yes.

Heh, point. Is it going to be worth using them? Or would walking speed be faster?

Oh, it's definitely faster than walking just 50' per round instead of 100.

Ah, great.

Nah we won't be needing an escort.

Provided Sybelle assures us her creatures won't harass us without an escort, we should be fine on our own.

That's the deal.

It's times like that, I would of picked up the d20s and put them back in the Crown Royale bag, and pulled out some fresh ones...*headdesk*

I had forgotten about the famous purple bag!

Abigail, can I remind you that your mount is Hasted? Might be useful :)

I was away too long! Thanks!

Abigail - I had you riding in the chariot. If you were on his back, you wouldn't have been able to attack an adjacent target with your longspear. In the future I can have you ride him when he's riding the chariot if you want.

Ok, my brain is a bit slow, and I should have asked to make sure when planning in Kenabres.

Since Dusari Sansa is now huge, and potentially colossal when I use my Enlarge Person spell on him, his reach is 10 ft, sometimes 15.

It's why I chose the longspear: in order to let him use his reach. When opponents are too close, he can just 5-foot step back and we can both make attacks. I can also use my Enlarge Person domain power to grow bigger too and shift the range accordingly to 15-20 feet.

In that regard, I don't need to be on the chariot. I think.

I'm not trying to make a big thing out of this, more to make sure we see things the same way to avoid confusion in the future, as those fights are getting simpler to handle.

Actually, yeah, that makes sense. In the future I'll just put you on his back. It was my mistake in assuming that you would be riding in the chariot.

Forgot about SR, all sorted.
