Okay, nevermind then. I deleted that post after realizing it wasn't going to work.
Okay, new idea. Is there a range in order to feint Giggles to decrease his AC even further?
Well, it's not ever explicitly spelled out (that I can find), but I think the assumption is that you have to be in melee range to feint (I don't know what feinting with a ranged weapon would look like). The way the feat Disengaging Shot works makes me suspect that this is correct.
So...melee range.
One last question. The movement I'm thinking of involves moving through an square occupied by one of the orphans and hopping on the edge of the bowl of slop. Does this movement require a penalty going through the npc square and an acrobatics check?
No penalty for going through the orphan's square, because they're not acting hostile towards you right now. They'll just scurry aside in fear.
Jumping up onto the lip of the slop, though, does require an acrobatics check. It's gonna be DC 12; not too narrow, but a bit slick.
Two things:
1) In my alias, I posted a build plan for Korriban. I would like that the gain of each of these feats would be played out or referenced in the gameplay. Makes things feel more natural.
2) Norv, at this link, I posted a thread to gain some help with Korriban's build. I did get some help and advice on the build plan and possible equipment. I thought that you should see it.
And, we have another possible reoccuring character in Pia. I feel a little bad for turning her away. But, we are wading into combat. Besides, what would Korriban's mother say if she found out her son let a prostitute follow them after Lamm? Not good things, I'm sure.
I like to leave my recurring character options open. ;)
Also, re: your build--looks promising to me! The only thing to maybe consider is that, while you do get extra skill points with the lore warden archetype, I'm pretty sure they have to be spent in knowledge skills. If that's what you want, great (and I'm excited to see how Korriban goes pseudo-scholarly)!
I confess I'm not really versed in the Pathfinder mechanics enough yet to tell you if it's a really GOOD build, but people in the thread seem to like it, and it makes sense to me!
Thank you, Norv! I'm interested in seeing if I can get that awesome rapier outlined in the last post.
We're almost at our confrontation with Lamm! The suspense is killing me, I can't wait! ^_^
I'm looking forward to it! ;) Now whenever you're ready, gear up and kick down that door! (...or whatever.)
Teo and Imperia, you still need to write what Korriban gave you in your aliases. Imperia got the wand and Teodor got a flask of acid. Sorry if I sound nitpicky.
Whops! Updating profile now. ^_^
Just FYI: It may take me a little while to respond later tonight, as I'm going to a play. Shouldn't be too long, but wanted to let you guys know. Once everyone's checked in and the door is kicked, I'll put a post up for describing the room. :)
Gah! Gotta run, new post mostly written, will be up AS SOON AS I get home!
Don't worry, take your time! We're not on a schedule. ^_^
time waits for no man ...but Lord Groetus waits for us all
I know, I know--I just came really close to getting it in, but then I missed.
(And I was really excited.) ;)
Regardless, it begins!
Seriously, though, three 19's in a row? What kind of a+!@%## DM rolls three 19's in a row?! :P
A DM that should be flogged. :P Just kidding, of course.
Ooph... Hopefully no-one minds the Mist... It was the only way I could think of that would let Korriban back away. I have one more spell, it's a CLW and its yours Korriban if you can get back towards me.
No problem, Gadriel. I really appreciate it. I'm just kind sad that Korriban won't get his killing blow on Lamm. But, what can you do?
I'm just kind sad that Korriban won't get his killing blow on Lamm. But, what can you do?
If you want to, we can try that way! For instance, I could redirect the Celestial Eagle to attack the crocodile (boldy vs gobbly! Now that'd be an epic fight! xD).
Of course, Lamm will rain arrows of death upon us if we leave him alive too long, and that could be very risky!
Since I'm fine either way, I'll leave the choice to you guys. ^_^
I think we should kill the croc first, if only for the fact that it is terrifying and will possibly eat us all if we ignore it. The Obscuring Mist will do a lot to stop the arrows and such until we can deal with his pet.
Part of me is tempted to pull a Steve Irwin and start croc-wrestling though... definite points for badassery :)
Raina, I was thinking about wrestling alligators, too. But that might put you in danger and how would we get you up.
I agree with Raina. As long as that gator's there, then we can't move without getting chomped at. Also, take out the gator, Celia is a lot safer.
So let's recap on the status of the baddies:
Lamm - he's down to 5 hp and has a crossbow. Korriban called the killblow. The obscuring mist should help out somewhat.
Gobblegut - He has full hp, is large and in charge, can practically one shot us, and could drag us down to his level. He also is the biggest risk to Celia as well. He currently has his focus on Raina. We could send the the eagle to do some damage. After that it's just a matter of taking potshots. Also, considering the fact that he chomped on Korriban's legs twice now, the rogue definitely wants revenge. He wants Gobblegut dead so he can take his skin and get someone to turn it into a pair of gatorskin boots. Thought of that during character creation. Makes for some ironic revenge. Calistria would be proud. :)
Tiefling - this guy is a complete unknown. All we know is that he's a tiefling, wants Celia for some reason, and works for a group known as the Five Fists. He currently has a 20% miss chance on him. But I managed to cripple him with a tanglefoot bag. My thoughts? Maybe set Adoros on him. He does have a bonus for this encounter due to the Reading. But keep him alive for interrogation. If these Five Fists pose a threat to us in the future, then we need to know all we can about them.
I still have one tanglefoot bag and two flasks of acid. Teodor has one flask of acid. Imperia has her wand of acid. So that might help take the gator out faster. It's a good thing that Lamm isn't using Adoros's musket or else we might be in trouble. So yeah, my thoughts? Take out Gobblegut, have Adoros pin the tiefling down, and debuff Lamm if you can. By then, Korriban should be up to killing Lamm. He'll be retreating with his Harrow Point active to give him a +10' for the rest of the encounter. Otherwise, keep Celia safe. Just because Lamm can't hit us, doesn't mean he can't hit Celia. But if Korriban can't kill him with too much damage to everyone else, then don't risk it. Just my thoughts.
Thoughts?
Also, Norv, am I still disabled?
Nope, once you have any hit points back at all, you're no longer disabled. Also, you should know that the "drags Korriban to the ground" bit was essentially just flavor text (you don't need to spend actions to stand, or, as you'll see, I'm going to flavor-text that too). Enjoy your full complement of actions this round! ;)
Teodor healed you for a whopping 1 hp, making you not disabled. :D
I added an obscuring mist AoE to the map.
*EDIT: just checked spell description, it comes out from Gadriel's position, fixed that up now.
Awesome!
Handy trick! Just copied it to make a matching one for the tiefling's darkness.
If you want to make one in the future, use the "Polyline" tool. It's in the dropdown menu of the Line tool, next to the Select (Arrow) tool.
If you give it a custom fill colour (the bucket) you can adjust the transparency like I've done :)
With Gobbly almost dead, it could be fun to dispatch the tiefling next, then gang up on Lamm, disarm him, and make him pay! ;)
But not if he's dead! C'mon Teo, don't maul the old fool, heal Korry and/or bash the tiefling's face in! ^_^
(Also, where's Gobbly? Did he run away?)
Oh, crap. Adoros is close to 0 hp. He needs to back out. Did he change that from the fight with Giggles when Teodor healed him? Because I think Adoros should have 8 hp. Luckily, he reduced the tiefling to 6 hp. I think I can use my Harrow point out now to gain that extra 10' and provide back up. Hopefully, I can get a sneak attack off on him.
Oh, maybe Imperia could Grease the tiefling's weapon! And then I can attack him!
EDIT: Also, my family is taking my brother back to his college tomorrow. So I'll be gone for a good chunk of the day. I'll post with my cell phone when I can.
Also pretty sure Adoros is actually at 8 hp, so he should be ok. ;)
I swore I fixed that after Teodor healed me but I most of forgotten.
Let's hope that Gobble decides to sit the next round out.
Sorry for keeping you waiting guys, been a very busy day! I'm posting something as soon as possible, I promise! :)
Well, Lamm's probably dead and Korriban didn't get the end blow. You can tell he's going to be upset at this.
Dying doesn't equal dead just yet, so Korriban has a few rounds to come over and perform a coup de grâce to make it so.
Well, Teo did an attack on the dying Lamm. So, odds are he's dead.
Teodor recognizes no man's "dibs."
How do you guys want to divi up the treasure? Korriban's definitely going to want the succubi statue. Anyone want anything specific?
Raina suspects that most-to-all of it is stolen goods, so she's not particularly keen on keeping any of it herself. Getting it back to its original owners (or simply liquidating it on the market if that's impossible) would be more her style.
From a role playing perspective, Gadriel's not going to be much interested in physical goods. There'll be a few things here and there that she'll want, but past that she'll be pretty spartan.
Okay. Anyone else want anything? Also, do you think that any part of Gobbles is salvageable? Korriban wants his boots.
Sadly, Survival was not one of the skills Gadriel took. :) However, there should be some form of tanner in town. We have some gold now, we can always pay to have it done. ;)
Of course Korriban wants the succubus statue. :P
And Gadriel, no worries, I like the little roleplaying twist there! :D
My schedule's a bit odd today, so bear with me if I end up not posting until late.
Man...screw these dice! :P
I'm drowning in work right now, but I promise I'll make a post in the gameplay thread in a few hours!
So, I've been looking up on skinning animals in Pathfinder and here are my findings.
The last link has input from James Jacobs. Let me know what you think, Norv.
And, no duh, Korriban wants the succubus statue. Raised in a brothel, remember? Besides, it would make for a very interesting decoration. :)
Also, Adoros, Imperia, Teodor. Do you guys want anything that I found in the strongbox? Also, anyone want the masterwork hand crossbow and the 6 bolts?
