The Great (Pathfinder) Society...in Magnimar! (Inactive)

Game Master Eric Swanson

It took some digging here but I think I figured out what the correct interpretation of the rule is. According to THIS post, the Point Blank shot would have applied HAD you hit the Swarm. For the record the Swarm's Touch AC is 16 so Gared would have missed both times, so I ruled it as he was targeting a square instead. Since the swarm occupied the square it took full damage BUT he could not apply any of his feat damage to it.

Does this ruling make sense guys?

Yeah, that makes sense in my head considering the swarm of bats is covering everything within that square.

Also, Carmina are you interested in doing a little flex time role playing back in Magnimar? No worries if you're not interested or available, but I'd tried to start something before you went away for a little while.

I'd be interested, but I don't think I have the time right now.

Guys, just fyi. I'm trying to play Yamyra's low wisdom as sometimes she gets upset & does rash things. I hope you are ok with that & it doesn't get us all killed...

lol. It's fine and there are always things worse than death.

Sorry about the lack of posting guys. I had a very busy weekend (including a trip to Disneyland!). Unfortunately I have some bad news for you all. I will be taking a badly needed vacation starting on Thursday, so I will not be posting very much for the next couple of weeks. I am heading out of town up to visit family in Washington state, and will not return until September 1st.

I will get one or two posts up before I leave as you are about to head out of the main area and into the next phase of the dungeon, he he. Feel free to post any flex time RPing while I am away. I will have some internet so I can definitely check the boards but as I have said, posting will be limited.

*sigh* And I have to go out of town today :/ I'll be back Wednesday or so.

I apologize for Horven going into "whiny-prat" mode

That reminds me, I can't wait to see what happens when Yamyra finds out that Horven called her that. I have a feeling it will look something like this. Or maybe this.

That's why she'll never know, right? The damage I do in a sneak attack has gone up.

Hmm, the vaguely threatening nature of that remark makes me think it would serve the story well if Ganer was to start sleeping near Yamyra, and begin talking, loudly, in his sleep. I can just see it now:

In between snores, Ganer could be heard to say, "I don't think she'd like you calling her 'Yammy', Horven."

lol

Awesome stuff guys, keep it up!

PS Game will resume on September 1st.

You know, there really is no good diminutive for Yamyra...
Reminds me of when my son was born, one of the reasons my (now) ex chose Devlyn was that it was not an easily diminutized name. So what do my parents up & do? They start calling him 'Devi'. Pissed my ex off!

P.S. As I said, there really isn't a good diminutive for Yamyra, but if you are going to; go with Myra, or be ready for the day she can finally cast mad monkeys...

So would it be safe to assume that once Yamyra knows that spell, she will immediately begin working on a version to summon the winged variety?

Tempting...

Game will resume on September 1st.

.

I know what you mean.

I have returned from my vacation, and I had a great time! I know you are all chomping at the bit here to get back into this! I will get a post up for you either later this evening or tomorrow.

However, I did see your RPing posts and I really enjoyed them! All of you get 200 XP for good RPing!

Woo Hoo!!!

Oh dear...I'm gonna die of disease.

No, cause if it gets any worse Yamyra is going to insist we take you back to get some real healing done...

Anybody else getting in on this conversation? I am holding off as I would prefer it didn't turn into 'round 2' of their last talk & I wanted others to have a chance at talking.

Everyone's been pretty quiet.

I'm not sure how healing ability damage works, but wouldn't Horven have healed some of his previous ability damage from the night's rest?

Gared is correct here, Horven is only down -2 DEX and -3 CON which means he only takes a -1 for his CON checks and his Max/current HP is 18.

So with a DC 15 heal check and eight hours of rest, Horven will be back to full health, albeit still diseased, correct?

Not exactly. Each day of rest will cure 1 ability point of Damage. Your Heal check is to give Horven a +4 bonus to his Fort save to resist the disease. Keep in mind he needs to make 2 successful saves to cure himself of the disease.

If I'm reading the page for the heal skill correctly, if I am providing long term care as a DC 15 heal check, and he get's complete bed rest, that jumps to 4 points of ability damage per eight hour resting period seperate of the check to grant a plus 4 on the disease saving throw?

That sounds about right, Gared, although I would say Horven needs 24 hours of complete bed rest with no activity to get the full 4 points back.

Seems like we've turned Shattered Star from Indiana Jones into ER. I guess Gared's George Clooney.

Having a character loosely affiliated with George Clooney makes me way happier than it should.

Glad I made your day :)

Untrained heal checks and high wisdom score for the win!

Yamyra and Ganer talking alone...uh oh. At this point, Horven should run in, leap in slow motion and go "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!".

Oh it's even worse than that. We are working up to an almost Wilde-ean degree of miss-communication here, which is really amusing considering the initial premise of the other storyline...

What have I done? Ganer was trying to shame Yamyra into realizing her own value, and instead he seems to have turned her and Horven into a couple, or at least convinced them to stop beating around the bush about each other. . .

I warned you this was turning into something out of Oscar Wilde's notebook...

Heh...IIRC this is how Sheila and Caydenn got hitched. So it can happen :)

Unhappy dwarf is unhappy. :C

Why are you unhappy?

*I'm* fine, and rather enjoying the game and life as a whole. Gared is unhappy because he empathizes for both Yamyra's and Horven's plights and is worried that they aren't ready to deal with the (in his mind) inevitable suffering that comes with being an adventurer. He's also unhappy to hear Horven's melodramtic and reckless (again, al in Gared's mind) desire to leave the Crow even at the risk of his own death. He's taking it with a grain of salt considering Horven's feverish conditon, but Gared is not pleased.

When you stop being sick & we can get back to being murder hobos like we were always meant to be.

Oh wait, we're not really murder hobos...

Speak for yourself Yamyra, you're not a murder hobo. I'm ready and eager to get on to the murder hoboing that I've been waiting this whole game for. . .

Wait, is that murder hoboing, or hobo murdering? Decisions, decisions.

Murder hobo time?

I think I need to make another Fort Save and Eric has to come back. Then we can get on with our careers as murdering hobos.

Actually the next save is due on 9 Pharast, which is tomorrow. Currently Horven has a -1 DEX and -2 CON damage (-1 to all CON skills, and -3 to max HP).

Just waiting on you guys to decide when you want to go exploring again, he he.
