o.O ... Awesome!
*Puts on powermetal on loud and waits for maps/initiative*
Those will be coming as soon as I can (in the next couple hours). :)
Okay just got my PC set up and online! Much later than expected @_@. Will work through the thread and post something!
Great entry into the narrative there, Reck. Glad to have you aboard, even if it is short term. :)
Hope he is not short term, I would like to see him return.
A bit confused on the map. the red squares are bad guys, but I thought there were more of them
Well, playing the part of a bad guy isn't the recipe for a long career :D
True, but there is redemtion....
And dark prison cells :P
@Round 2 - If Ariana does try (and succeed) in putting the archer to rest, Freia will do something else on her round beyond just running - like using her own bow!
And I will leave that redemption option open if you can capture Reck and convince him not to try to slaughter his way out of a Tear prison. I love redemption stories. Noro as a past friend, Zayid as a person who is going through much the same, Pelgrev as a fellow tough guy, and Ariana as magical sedative could provide enough of a support structure. I'm not suggesting he join the party, but reoccurring NPC is a possibility. :)
Freia, go ahead and post that option in a spoiler so we can just go with whichever even comes to pass.
choon, bit mixed up with the map, i get the brown boxes are the crates, but what about the blue and red? also did reck leave and go through the iron door?
Reck did leave through the Iron Door.
The blue is the archer that just screwed with Ariana's spell. The red is the dude with two wands, one of which is a grease wand for sure.
ok cool so the green are the thugs, and the other two are on the catwalk above then.
got it. and Reck better not have just walked out, Well he always was a coward in a "real" fight
You might want to wait until you see my boss stats before running that big mouth :D
Yeah i know, your jacked up to kick my ass, oh well.
Anyway, if your too powerful, then that kind of messes up my storyline a bit, i presented it as we were equals.
Oh well you get to beat the snot out of noro, heck maybe even kill her
Hmmm. Noro and Pel usually post by now. Maybe they're out of Internet access. It is a holiday weekend. I'll give them until tomorrow afternoon, then I'll move us along.
*Pokes Pel with a stick*
Note to self: p and l are close on the keyboard. Check what you type!
I did of course mean pool point : )
I totally wondered about that, but couldn't figure out what you meant. :P
I read it and giggled like a 12 year old. I knew what you meant. :)
Ariana and Pelgrev to act
We're on a new round? Ari threw the flask of acid, thought it was the same round as that.
The round ended with your flask, which I mistakenly called a spell.
There is plenty of charges left on the wand, but letting them work their magic takes a minute (for the full 10 hp).
Whom is injured?
I know Aboki and Pel could use one.
Freia has taken 6 damage, but that is 1/3 of her pool - so she wouldn't mind some replenishment.
Zayid is similarly injured, but have alot left. But I smell boss fight and better safe then sorry ...
Arina, you took an arrow aswell I think ?
Noro ?
Lootz!
Belt of Str +2 x2
Amulet of nat armor +1
Wand of Magic Missile (20 charges)
Wand of Grease (10 charges)
Spellbook, Universalist
This is a simple, unadorned spellbook. Notes on improving the efficiency of each spell crowd the margins, most of them hopelessly misguided.
Value 275 gp
Spells
2nd—fox’s cunning, scorching ray
1st—alarm, feather fall, obscuring mist, mount, shield, shocking grasp, silent image, sleep
0—standard plus jolt [UM]
noro is fine... no damage
but she will claim a strength belt of course.
Dam! That is nice stuff : )
Freia can use pretty much anything, but there is always someone whom it will come in more handy on ^^
She will, however, be more then happy to go over that spellbook with Ariana later : )
IC stopped updating for me, sorry.
No worries. Welcome back. :)
Ariana took 4, used a sleep spell, and two flasks of acid. She's fine on hit points though, it may be 1/3 of her HP, but she doesn't get hit often.
She'll snag the spellbook (to copy and then we can sell it and split the gold) as well as the wands, if no one minds.
I could use the armor, but if we think there's a better option....
3 charges then?
Aboki +10
Freia +10
Pelgrev +10
I think the armor is best used by any of the front-liners. Roll for it? Noro, Pel, Freia and Zayid could all use it. As well have Pel, Freia and Zayid roll for the second str belt? Whoever wins won, is out of the running for the other?
This brings up a good issue to set up: Loot distribution. How do youall want to handle loot?
The way I usually do it at tables is: split money equally, consumables are generally go to whoever can use them/ignored for purposes of splitting, magic items are roll-based but once you have gained an item, you don't roll on another again until either 1) no one else can use it or 2) everyone has gained an item.
I'll leave distribution up to you all. It makes little/no difference to me.
Zero-sum is the fairest method, but it would need someone to step up and bookkeep a bit for us. I have a spreadsheet the person could use to see how it's done, it'd just be a matter of entering things and determining payouts.
I agree with zero-sum, but I rather not do the bookkeeping for this game. I'm on loot-duty in another pdp already. However, if no-one feels like it, I could handle it anyhow (probably just a google-doc and then keep track of peoples loot value and try to keep it ~equal).
I'm pretty much ok with whatever...
My word. Strength checks are this group's Kryptonite.
I keep seeing people mention armor? what armor, is that the amulet of nat armor?
I already called one of the str belts. so not so sure about the armor though.
I don't know what zero-sum is, but as long as I'm not having to do the book-keeping, I'm okay with it.
The "armor" comments as referring to the amulet.
Loot distribution:
Pel - Amulet of +Natural Armour (since he expressed interest)
Noro - Belt of +Str (ditto)
Zayid - other Belt of +Str (since the 16->18 increase is 'better' then Freias 14 -> 16 increase. Besides, she values + hit more then + damage and I just bought a composite bow ^^)
That leaves:
Wands - Ariana holds on to these
Spellbook - Ariana and Freia can copy the useful spells out of this and then sell it ?
Filthy money - Use to give those whom miss loot something once we are back at HQ or put in a party fund ?
Thoughts ?
I will be leaving in about an hour and then be gone for 2-3 days, most likely without internet!
Feel free to bot Freia.
In this combat, if the archer 5-foot steps away, she will use spell combat and 5 foot steps to keep up. That means two attacks at +2 to hit and they deal 1d8+2, first one to hit deals additional 1 damage unless a dc 13 fort save is done.
If he runs away, she will either just cast Brand and move 60' to deliver it, hitting on +4 and dealing 1d8+3 damage, +1 unless the dc 13 fort save is made. If he moves further, she can charge for an extra +2 to hit but no fort save damage.
If he stands and fight, she will probably try spell combat. Exactly like the first case but she will need a DC 15 Concentrate check for the extra attack/fort save. Her bonus is +9.
See you later : )!
Thanks for the heads up, Freia. :)
Back : )
I will be moving us along this afternoon whether Pelgrev posts or not.
Well, the first two dices did certainly like me :)
Hopefully Zayid and I can disperse our rat quickly - then we can gang up on the rest and just beat them down. Or break their spirit somehow...
Ps - any thoughts on the suggested loot-distribution ?
As a note of transparency, I'm going to ratchet down the DR on these guys a couple notches. When I chose them I was mis-remembering some of your damage modifiers and they aren't as high as I thought. DR 10 is a bit much. As a result, Noro, you did break a tooth on your last attack.
The Rat-man still smiles at you though. :)
