The Crucible of Freya (Inactive)

Happy Birthday.

Already glad I picked up this feat:
Shadow Strike (Benefit: You can deal precision damage, such as sneak attack damage, against targets with concealment [but not total concealment])

With smoke sticks and smoke bombs, it will be great.

Certainly should be!

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

It looks like the map got pushed a little out of alignment. I did my best to fix it but things don't seem to be lining up as well as I'd like...

Yeah the map had been moved when I logged in this morning but I thought I fixed it. Did I make it worse or what?

Samduc that feat is awesome.

Happy Birthday, Lieutenant! Huzzah and all that, whot whot?

<That's Kevezyat's impression of Vhillish....pretty spot on ! :) >

Uncanny Old Chap! Whot-whot!

Guys I'm still tied up with the family stuff :) Be back soon. Happy Burfday OTM-Shankenstein

Wait a minute where the heck did Vorgya and Zalatha go?

Edit: Oh I get it, I must have taken their tokens off the map because they were hidden in mist. I'm putting them back so I don't lose track of them, you guys just will have to RP not knowing where they are.

Ok Janna's next action may catch Kev in her area of effect but will also catch 3 of the bad guys as well.

Edit only 2 of the bad guys.

Hold on for just a sec Janna. You should be able to take Damien's spot and get all three once I've posted!

Edit : Actually just go now. I've moved my token for my turn. Just writing the post now :)

I am not seeing how to get all three in a burning hands

We shoudl wait to see if the monk is not already dead.

Yup he's dead. He, shoulda buffed with Mage Armor, the agents underestimated you guys.

Woops, mistook the lady Faen for Jarra momentarily.

With the monk down, I'd try to finish Zalatha this turn. She's seriously beat up.

So am I doing flanking wrong or what? In my home group that counts as flanking :/ Probably one of those house rules you don't know is a house rule. I think we talked about this sometime before the hiatus, forget what we decided though.

Yeah, I can't quite remember either. Though I'm fine with it as a house rule.

Certainly makes Sam and Jerrid's lives easier!

Ok so I guess to officially put the house-rule into words this time:

When in doubt about whether two characters flank an opponent in the middle, trace an imaginary line between the two attackers' centers. If the line passes through two borders of the opponent's space, then the opponent is flanked.

That's so crazy I never knew you had to be exactly opposite to get flanking.

Works for me!

So. Much. Snow.

Where'd everyone go!? Let's keep the momentum going! Go! Go! Go!

Hmm, maybe it's because I didn't do an initiative table this round...

I am here, just wanted to get home from work so I can update the map myself.

oh cool.

Sorry, late night watching the Superbowl last night followed by out doing Rise of the Runelords this evening until 11.30pm so now am off to bed.

Will try to post something during the day tomorrow.

Jerrid is pretty beaten up if you want to npc him delaying that would a ok.

cheers

cool.

Guys Sam's post reminded me. These agents have a bit of useful loot so I'm going to dump the whole list in one post and you guys work out how to distribute it.

Divide it up whatever way you prefer, i.e evenly by value or "so and so could really use this to shore up such and such" but make sure Damien knows what everyone ends up with so he can punch it in the spreadsheet. This way I can see how party treasure values compare to WBL which helps me have a working APL in mind in case I need to modify encounters.

Edit: Actually we'll see what happens. On closer inspection, the ones trying to get away are the ones with the items I had in mind when I wrote that...

I think I'll declare Vorgya and Jarra's actions now as if Vhillish had delayed too, I don't think he will mind. If you look at the situation it makes sense and works out good for him.

Interesting, looks like Vorgya rolled low on stealth.

Indeed, still more than I can get but it might not matter.

Is her token in the correct spot for where she disappeared?

Nope her token is where she is now. shhhh

Edit: Oh yeah actually that is the spot where she drank the potion as well. I forgot she 5' stepped away from the eagle before she drank.

Ah, who had line of sight to her when she did disappear? I had thought from the wording of your post that she 5ft stepped away from the eagle before drinking the potion.

Oh yup, see my edit above that's exactly right.

Beautiful!

Yup we were both typing the same thing at the same time :D

Great minds and all that :)

Not available much today.
Also posting from cheap ass phone

Janna will magic missile fleeing wizard, or whoever is left

Sorry gang - Superbowl + spotty home inter webs + work dropping the hammer meant I've been MIA.

Back at it now - will post forthwith! Whot!

XP
Agents of the Golden Palms 400
Ad Hoc RP bonus 150

Ok Damien can I get some help in the treasury department again? I'm trying to estimate WBL to help me calculate APL for the sake of encounter design.

A quick look at the treasure divider spreadsheet tells me that prior to this fight, not counting valuables and consumables, just permanent magic items, you guys have 18,920 GP worth of items for a share of 2,702 GP each if you wanted to divide everything equally.

The breakdown right now looks like this:

Janna - 3000
Damien - 2000
Samduc - 10610
Jerrid - 2310
Leoven - 1000
Vhillish - 0
Kevezyat - 0

If you factor in the cloak and the ring from this fight, the share is at 3131 GP per PC.

I haven't been tracking potions on my end, but there was another 730 GP worth of undivided gems (prior to this fight) assuming those are on the donkey?

As you know I am a fan of distributing items based on theme/personality and shoring up weaknesses in the party rather than dividing into exactly even shares, so I don't mind some imbalance if you guys don't, I just thought I'd post this info in case it's useful.

Also, please let me know if I've made any errors or omissions.

Here's a link to my worksheet where I track this stuff.

Good Superbowl. Great finish.

Yeah in those last minutes it looked like the pats were going to lose the same way they have a couple times before...

Those faces after that interception by Butler - Sherman, Carroll and Brady. Awesome tv moment.

I am totally at a loss figuring out WBL lol. The items on the spreadsheet don't seem to match the items in some of your profiles.

Winging it, I guess I would say your party is an APL 4? Under geared but hero points, bonus feat, and most importantly, 7 PC's strong. Somewhere between APL 4 and APL 5, I guess.

Not sure what permanent magic item is leoven using.

Hm, I'd say you have it about right. With the new items we've just cleared WBL for 3rd so we're finally sort of on track.

I'd agree that we're on the high end of APL 4.

The loot tracker being somewhat out of date is a good point. Before the hiatus we'd talked about people updating their own tabs in the tracker but it's obvious that really isn't happening.

It looks like some people are keeping equipment updated on their own profiles. Good but I can only imagine it's easier to have everything in the same location.

Looks like we need to have a conversation about loot. We need to agree on a plan that works for all of us.

Do people have an issue with the loot tracker? Do we just not like keeping track of stuff on our own? Is there a better solution anyone can think of? Do we need to go back to me looking after the equipment?

In the end this is really more of a party dynamic concern but what are your thoughts DMG? Do you have any suggestions to keep things organized?

Not sure what permanent magic item is leoven using.

That the pearl of power Leo.

On the topic of your equipment, aside from the consumables I've added to your tab, is it correct that you only have 3 possessions? It's all you have listed on either your profile of the tab...

Ah right, I forgot about it.

Now that you mention it, I think DMG also pointed leoven lack of gear in the past, I was about to buy some things in town but with the pause in the game I missed it.

Well I don't care how you guys do loot as long as it doesn't cause fights and I can look at everyones WBL when it comes time to figure out APL for the sake of encounter design.

I say we use the sheet, but only me and Damien edit it, so it doesn't get all messed up from multiple people making the same changes to the sheet.

If your character gains an item, you tell Damien, he will add it.

Sam has one rank in climb and Vhillish 2. Have the ring of climbing go to Vhillish.

That works for me DMG!

And Sam has attempted ZERO climb checks. But, a crossbowman may need to get to a perch.

Sam's ioun stone he is using as a fancy ring of protection. If able, he would sell it and buy an elven cloak like Lannet's. The 2500gp elven cloak seems more useful than the 5000gp ioun stone.
