GM it got lost in my updating my character sheet which I really need to do again but I have the trait relating to the scar caused by fey. Its just something I've been waiting patiently to come up.
Ah, yes. I forgot about that campaign trait. Well, it still connects to a future plot development in the AP, so I still appreciate your RP to bring it up.
Sorry for not posting lately. Ive been a combination of sick and busy. Things should ease up tomorrow

Hey everyone, I'm so sorry. I wound up being really sick, like "we have to send you somewhere else because we don't have the tools to diagnose you" sick, and so was not in a state to play games. I'm doing much better but also have finals starting today (lucky me) so I'm going to try and get caught up as soon as I can.
Glad you're feeling better Esperanza!
Thorek can start casting some buffs if we want Communal Resist Energy or other buffs, and I'm sure we've got some druidy goodness headed our way too

Also, I forgot to add. I hope you feel better.

I managed to get sick again, almost immediately. I'm back on my feet, again, and hopefully stay healthy this time.
Since it doesn't look like this camp has any casters or alchemists, Thorek will hold off on the communal energy resistance this time around. Ready when y'all are!
Daria reminds everyone of their potions of Ironskin and Bull’s Strength, then takes her own Ironskin potion. She casts Communal Air Walk on everyone and looks to see if any other preparations are needed. If not, she will transform into medium air elemental. drifting forward into position, she prepares to wall off the camp with a Wall of Thorns once Thorek gives the signal.
Hi sorry about the delay in posting with the holidays. I'm going to make a post later today after work.
Happy new year! Everyone doing okay?
I'm here and doing well. I had a great holiday. I hope everyone else is okay too.
Yep, still here!
Yes, still here. Waiting for the battle to start...
Sorry. I thought you guys were still making preparations. I suppose all buffs are ready, then?
Daria’s Initiative modifier in air elemental form is +2 (+1 dex, +2 elemental body dex mod, -1 negative level)

Thank you for the correction. I've revised the initiative order listed on the encounter map.
Sorry about the delay posting. I attended my first convention running Organized Play so I was still recovering. I will get a post up tomorrow.
Quick question: does only one of the wolves provoke from me, or would I get more attacks thanks to my Combat Reflexes feat?

Both would provoke. My mind was stuck on the default 1 attack of opportunity, sans bonuses.
No worries! Thank you.
GM I forgot to confirm my crit. Im sorry about that as I completely forgot that was a rule in 1E.
If you have the Ironfang Survivor trait, then no roll is needed.
Otherwise, I'd say it'd be a DC 10 Knowledge (Local or History) check with a +2 bonus for how long you've fought alongside the Nirmathi.
Sorry I haven't been around much I have been getting over a season head cold. I'll try and post tonight.

Important message to all my games:
My wife tested positive for Covid yesterday. I'm taking some time off work to look after her and our two-year-old daughter. All three of us are vaccinated, so hopefully we will get through this soon.
In the meantime, my ability to post will be severely compromised. I will try to update when I have time (such as when my wife and daughter are both sleeping), but I can't make any promises.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Take care and I hope you and your family are safe.
Take as much time as you need--hope you and your daughter stay healthy and your wife recovers quickly and smoothly. We'll be around :)
By the time they arrive back in Longshadow, how many days will have passed since Daria's Resurrection? Will she be recovered enough for a Restoration to take care of that last lost level?

Right now, I don't believe a week has passed since the previous Restoration spell.
However, to provide a peek behind the GM screen, Lily's forged documents actually managed to fool the Legion's commander in charge of the assault, and she is radically redeploying her forces, resulting in a 4-day delay in the siege.
This means that Daria can get that last lost level restored before the battle begins.

I'm really sorry, I've been having a hard time lately as a medicine I have to take every day has been subject to a national shortage, and I didn't get any warning before having to essentially go cold turkey.

I've updated the Defense Points on the map link for Longshadow.
Currently, the town's readiness is at 150 Defense Points (built up from the starting point of 50).
Giving the staff of fire to Gaius will increase the number of Defense Points he and Flopsy provide from 5 to 10; we'll also say that you can call down an attack from him with the staff during one of the battle phases during the siege.
In lieu of the Profession or Craft skills usually required for rebuilding the town walls, you can just attempt Intelligence or Wisdom checks to assist Daria as she uses Stone Shape.
Good point. We can assume that either the party or your allies in Longshadow identify the hammer.
Thus, you could also make a Use Magic Device check to direct the reconstruction of the walls.
Through Use Magic Device, Lily can use the Mallet of Building you recovered from the Warbeast Camp to aid in the restoration of Longshadow's walls.
This maxes out the City Walls bonus, and leaves you with a final tally of 180 Defense Points of Longshadow when the assault begins.
Before the battle starts, though, Daria can attempt to restore her lost level.
Strangely enough, though Lesser Restoration is a Druid spell, Restoration is not. We do have two scrolls, though, so she will see if she can get a cleric to use the scroll on her…
Whoops.. I somehow missed the part about UMDing the wand. Im really sorry about that.
I was able to get an alternate medication which seems to be doing the trick, and I'm feeling much better now.
UMD could also be done for a scroll too, if Lily wants to give it a shot.
Otherwise, it sounds like we've done all we can, let the Battle for Longshadow begin.
@GM, are the Ironfang siege lines visible? We don't seem to be having much difficulty getting in and out of the town--are there Ironfang pickets, camps, trenches, etc starting to ring the town proper? Or have they not fully arrived yet?
Sure I will give that a shot.

The enemy forces are first visible from town as they begin assembling a half-mile northeast of Longshadow shortly after dawn after the last day of your own preparations.
The AP makes it clear that while this advance camp does not yet have enough soldiers to take Longshadow, it is a large enough force (and on high alert) so that you cannot leave town or make any more preparations or sabotage strikes from that point.

I used a random weather generator to chart out the weather over the course of the two days of the battle.
There is presently heavy cloud cover, and medium rain will begin around midnight. Thus, with a storm brewing, Call Lightning will deal its boosted damage for the first day of battle. The second day of the battle will be clear, though.
...
Also, I discovered that I overlooked something crucial. I was looking over the advancement track in the AP book, and...well...
Welcome to Level 10!
Additions to Lily:
Picked up Greater False Life
Psychosomatic Surge trick
Oh, nice! I'm going to take a 4th level of Devoted Muse. Ordinarily, if I wasn't a Swashbuckler already, this would get me Opportune Parry and Riposte, so the main thing the class gives here is an extra panache point.
Putting skill ranks in Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate.
Okay this is actually a really good level for Thorek. Still not getting many skills and no feats this time, but he does get an increase to his Sacred Armor, a boost to Sacred Weapon damage, 4th level spells, and Major Blessings.
Since his blessings are Fire and Good he gets Fire Shield on himself or a touched ally, and Summon Monster IV for 10 rounds--both as a Standard Action.
Not being down a level is cool for Daria, but otherwise not much happens at 10th level. A few more spell slots and a Wildshape improvement is good...she can now be a Large elemental if she wants.
I'm sorry Vayelan! I thought I had responded, but no I forgot to factor in the increment penalty so if that makes the shot a miss you can give big ugly their hp back.

Don't worry. That HP will be gone again many times over once this guy gets within 10 feet of you.
I think we're agreed to wait for Daria's wind-walk so Thorek and Esperanza can close in. That does mean the giant will get another turn but I don't think he can wreck the gate in one round.
*knocks on wood*
Indeed, Daria is planning to give each of them 50 minutes of Air Walk on her next turn.
