The Crucible of Freya (Inactive)

Game Master Grimmy

Journal restarted in the campaign section but its going to take longer that I thought.

So now that Leo and Sam did readied actions, Kevezyat is in her own block. Hmm..

I bet she wants to use that post from earlier but better make sure.

Nice shot Sam!

The lighting should make things interesting ;)

Fixed! Sorry long day :/

Love that song too, forgot it was also a scripture! thanks!

My condolences DMG - thoughts to you and yours.

Thank you!

I kind of forgot they started out on horses.

Oops. I guess Jarra is still on her horse in the middle, but Vorgya, Zalatha and Darkral and Korungra dismounted during negotiations phase.

I imagine a solid shot like that would finish off the darn skulker?

I'm actually in the habit of posting HP totals on the combat map where I track damage. Once you hit something that is. Like Zalatha you can see he has taken 15/26.

I don't think it's really that meta, because when you hit something you can get an idea how bad you've hurt it. I won't do it all the time, but I'll usually at least let you know when something is "bloodied" (half damage).

Ah, excellent. I was actually considering asking how beat up he looked. I agree, it doesn't tell us a lot more than we should be able to figure out by relying on our experience.

I have to say, it disconcerts me a little that the rogue has more hit points than Damien does :P Do you roll for NPC HP by chance?

These NPC statblocks are actually straight out of a Frog God module with a couple tweaks to spell selection. But yeah it looks like they gave Zalatha nearly max hp.

Whew, I was momentarily worried all of them were higher level than us :P

don't stop worrying yet.

Oh my...

Damien, Janna cannot target anyone in the mist so she has a burning hands at the ready once she has an idea of a target location.

I did actually call out the opponents I could see on my turn.

Now that I've actively attacked Zalatha, can Janna not at least see which square I'm attacking into? She should be able to get a fix on him at least.

Oh, and note that the elf should also be visible to you now. He tried to counterspell Leo which would break his stealth.

The elf was never stealthed, he never even attempted stealth. He has been visible to all since he reached the edge of the mist.

Everyone knows what square Zalatha is in, and some idea where Korungra is.

Pretty much right now let's say if the token is on the map, everyone knows what square that guy's in. But I think Zalatha and Korungra are attacking vs flat-footed AC, unless your name is Damien or Jerrid.

ok but still Janna double moved to get to you so will have to wit till next round and will probably attack the clearly visible one that is throwing things at us.

Hey DMG, how do squares in the mist like Zalatha's work? Is he hidden from all sides or does he only have 20% miss if attacked from the corner (Directly above Gorer for instance)?

He has 20% miss if adjacent, and 50% if ten feet away (in the mist). That spot you're talkin about has only 20% miss.

Hm...maybe. Though I think I have a better idea!

With the two half-orcs down for the count, would it not make sense to let us all act now?

I have to pop out for a moment but Janna, I'm planning on having Damien ask you to fry the rogues in the mist. Especially now that Vorgya is visible.

I'll deal with our friend the dwarf!

I could probably also use some healing after that last round if Leo is willing to provide?

Oh yeah. True. Go!

You seem pretty calm for a guy with 1hp.

Eh...it's a fact of life until next level. Damien has middling AC/HP and tends to draw more attention than our dear paladin :P

A lot of these bad guys figure they better take down the guy shouting orders :P

Kevezyat is terrifying though they aren't ignoring her either.

Edit: Dang, leo has a whole flock of eagles!

could be worse... could be a flock of Seagulls

I'm finding the use of the enemies name quite confusing.

Key is off to the left of the map.

It's sometimes a point of contention, but do summons benefit from Inspire Courage?

Indeed, it's hard to deny the power of a focused summoner. Just takes a couple levels to come into it's own!

Any Freya yes! Kev is rather scary! Damien just tends to be louder :P

I don't see why not. It's an ally. Should I add a point to the talon hits, or did Leo count that already?

would the electrical burning hands burn away any of the mist?

I don't see why not.

Excellent, then tack a couple extra points of damage on Jarra's company!

Edit : Nope, been using normal eagle damage.

Will do.

No Janna, won't burn the mist. I lol'd at the weather forecast though, nice one ;)

I didn't take those into account.

Cool, I added it in Leo.

Man we like to talk ALOT

Take your time DMG ;)

Sure thing DMG. I'll likely be out until tomorrow as well. Having my birthday party tonight.

Give'em hell boys!

Guys I still can't get away long enough for a gameplay post, might not be till tomorrow evening. Sevice in the morning. Knowing me I'll probably sneak back here tonight before bed but if not, tomorrow night.

No problem.

Happy birthday Damien and take your time Grimmy.

Cheers

Happy Birthday Sah!

Huzzah!
