I did not enjoy FFX-2 (no surprises there, probably), wasn't interested in the MMO aspects of XI, and tried XII but was too used to the straight turn-based combat of FFX to adjust to the new style. I pretty much fell off after that. I'll definitely have to check out the iOS port of Tactics, Sirettis!

hey Peppers let's start now...
Does NE keep Jimmy Garoppolo? I heard AP might take a discount to sign with NE I'd have to route for the Pats then... crazy!
Ahh I can already feel balance being restored to this thread.
P.S. Where is Hmm!!!!??? I'm itching to chop this worm to little itty bits and feed him to the crazy fey upstairs.

Pshhh sports..
What's the new round estimate for Wormgnash's death, btw?

OoooooOoooooOOOO! NOW WE'RE TALKIN!
Pats likely will only part with Jimmy G if they get a 1st rd pick and then some. Not worth just giving him away. Imagine what the Vikes would have given up for him if their situation last year was this year instead! He'd be great insurance on Brady for this coming year and you've still got the possibility of a tag n trade next offseason for some compensation.
As far as AP... I'd take him on the team for maybe a 2yr deal around 10mil? I haven't heard good things about what else he does other than run the ball. Can he pick up blitzes? Catch? Not fumble? Those are some serious assets the Pats prioritize in an RB, not that Blount can catch much.

Wormy: Ya that near miss last round for 'Sugi really hurt your 3rd round estimate. You guys will need to make up for it with a crit to make it happen. I can either go all in with another MM to help or try to help a floundering Sirettis if she flops again this round.

The Worm got lucky with my miss oh man he was about to fish food!!!!
Hmm new estimate round 7.
I keep missing but the Dice have never failed me in a fight.

7? That seems like a bit of a stretch. You and Gallix's dice will really have to fail to get to that round. I don't like the survival chances of Gallix if things go that long...

Gallix has more hp than me right now ) those dretchs are done. Depends how many times this guy casts inflict wounds

Are you sure he has more HP than you, Sugi? I'm seeing Gallix at 7 and I believe you're at 17.

I would love to use my healing hex to counter this but I'm knee deep in goo right now.

We found the one True Neutral Demon! It's on its way to redemption but then it said meh.
Ironfang Invasion | Loot/Provisions | Combat Map
Haha, obviously not! But when you say blessed... what do you mean? Did you apply a weapon special ability to it? Sorry, I couldn't find it in your profile.
Edit: Wait, I think I remember Father Ildris blessing your blade.

That, and Peppers used the wand of Bless Weapon on it before this combat.

Ahh, gotcha!
Hey Sirettis, you mentioned the cold damage is guaranteed, but in a previous post I mentioned Wormgnash has energy resistance to acid, fire, and cold. Is there a rule I'm not aware of?

Oh, I mean there is no save to reduce the cold damage. Its Cold Energy resist still applies.
Fort Save to resist getting staggered.

I know this is a bit premature, but when we finish this we get a bonus chronicle that would level us to 5 correct? Is everyone going to go up to 5? I don't want to zoom ahead of people and I don't want to drool over feats and abilities I won't have yet either.... /drool.

Does Wormgnash resist compulsions and mind-affecting effects?

Nope. He does not.
Is it time for him to take a nap?
With that blog post about Starfinder Society, I find myself really wanting to go to GenCon!

Oh and yes Mr Peppers, you'll be level 5 after the bonus chronicle.

I'm doing some research so I'd like to know how my GMs would rule this.
Does the bonus damage from a vicious weapon (+2d6) always bypass DR? I'm thinking of having this forged in the interim until I get to the appropriate lvl for my true weapon.
Love to hear your thoughts.

I want you to go too!
I've not done much with vicious weapons, but it is my understanding that the bonus damage bypasses DR.
I will be ending this at Level 4 (slowtracking last level, and bypassing bonus chronicle) but by the time Cup meets up with you again she will be the same level as the group. Pinkie promise.
Hmm

Nicely done, guys! I was worried for a moment there. I always hate knocking my PCs unconscious, but they gave Wormgnash pretty good tactics and spells for a BBEG, so I just followed along with it. Glad to see Sirettis' hex worked!

Was a good fight for sure. A close victory is the best victory. Those mass inflicts are pretty nasty for this level, especially having more than 1. At least he couldn't hit all of us with it at once.

These grease puddles aren't helping, either. Grease is a low-level godsend, though.
Also I forgot caster level checks only take your casting level into effect. So my high Int doesn't really matter here. Spell Penetration is looking more and more attractive...

Ya pure casters that are dealing with spells that are affected by SR really need ways to boost their CL vs it. I've got +2 from the Elven racial, and will have +2 CL from Potent Magic when I level up, and will be taking at least spell penetration, if not improved as well. I wish there was something I could take to increase my dispel checks... if I was a Duergar, they get +2 as an alt racial.

Hilary said you won't mind if I pop by to say hi, so hello everyone, I'm Mikko, the author of the third part of Gallows of Madness.
Congrats on defeating Wormgnash! He and the summoned demons are really quite tough for his CR, but I'm glad to see no one died. It was fun to read through the gameplay thread and see how you interpreted the clues, tackled the challenges, and reacted to the NPCs and so forth.
But the adventure isn't over yet--there are still a few more secrets to be uncovered! I hope you've enjoyed it so far and will like the ending!

Thanks for stopping by, Mikko. I've loved it so far, especially the weird doll-like fey with the scissors. This may be my favorite set of Evergreens to date!

Sorry all I had to make an appropriate post for Sirettis once again saving our behinds!!!
Mikko thank you for reading along. We hope it was entertaining. Normally we cut, outthink or blast everything that looks to stop us. That Wormie was a worthy foe... as for there are more secrets to be uncovered how interesting. This will likely be my last post until this evening I have my Anatomy and Physiology exam tonight that I need to nap and then resume studying for.

This has been a lot of fun, thanks for writing this module.
Every scenario has contained a different challenge. I chose my spells based on what I had seen last time and something new came up, every time. For this part I was ready for a throng of goblins but instead we had a handful of fey and now demons.
Also it was fun to find a nonviolent way to talk to that creepy fey. Sirettis will wind up blind for a while, though.

Ya no kidding on the spell selection Sirettis, I'm sitting here with a burning hands and color spray sucking up 2/3 of my 1st level slots. Some of that though is for defensive counterspelling purposes.. but I should have left the burning hands at home and with hindsight prepped that grease!
