I'd say the market price of two laser eyes, equivalent to scorching rays, would be 20,000 gp... which means 10,000 forge points to craft. You could do just one eye right now for half the cost.
What's the policy on "table talk"? Because I've just thought of a plan of sorts, but it would need some positioning, some coordinated action and possibly a modicum of preparation.
Ummm... I think in this case I'd say no, there's no way Vlad could communicate his plan to the rest of the party at present, unless he has magic that would let him do so. I'm fine with suggestions to other characters mid-combat, but I think an entire plan being shared with no means of communication is a bit too much. Is that reasonable?
Yes, it's totally reasonable, we'll just wing it a bit. I just hope the other three prepared for an ambush.
Well matriarch will definitely be prepping an ambush, I just don't have time to type it up right now.
Tikkik will be prepared to ambush... though he also isn't very good at staying hidden for long.
Well, Cephalon is obviously super sneaky.
Sorry if I'm taking up time.
Well, the nice thing with play-by-post is that people aren't left waiting at the table if one character goes off by himself.
Is everyone where they want to be on the map?
Depends; Which room were we planning on ambushing them in again?
I thought we were setting up the ambush in the main room, but we never actually decided. It might be nice to lock the rotating corners wafter the adventurers come in, to cut their retreat, but that would require several turns from the Matriarch.
That isn't a problem as long as you guys can hold out that long.
Probably more important to have all our forces concentrated. Battles like these tend to be decided in the first three rounds.
Agree with Tikkik. Too bad they got protected from evil, I wanted to start the party with a confusion.
Does Pro. Evil actually stop Confusion? I know it prevents domination, but I think it's just a save bonus against most other things.
I'll get myself set up tonight. Basically, I want to be in the best position to hit them from behind and make lunch out of a caster.
Yeah, it stops anything that mentally controls people, including charm and compulsion. I'll just go for Fear again.
If we're going for the main room, Cephalon will stand here, where he can get a pounce. There's no point in hiding at the back of the room, because the odds of anyone NOT spotting him are... poor.
Tikkik and his W.M.D. are in position. They can afford to stay far back due to having a very high fly speed, and thus try to avoid being immediately noticed, at least.
The Matriarch was now in position opposite the hall. Those fools were going to rush right by to their doom...
I'm ready at the back of the party.
The party advances cautiously, the crossbow-woman leading, cautiously checking around each corner before advancing again. She's quite stealthy.
Tikkik and the Matriarch, however, notice her peeking around the corner.
^ Perhaps this was supposed to be in the Gameplay thread? ^_^
Ah, whoops, yes. XD
I messed up the wording a bit, I mean that I'm casting Grease when they get in the room. I don't want another Corridor Incident XD
So he's not grappled, then?
I'm guessing that yes, the dwarf is not grappled. At least that's what I'm assuming for Tikkik's action.
Ah, sorry, I forgot about that. He's got a high CMD--he managed to stay out of it.
Alright, that's fine. At least that means we don't have to backtrack.
The other thing I forgot with that last combat round is that you can't 5' step on difficult terrain. Wow I was forgetful that round.
Oh, well. You'll still win, so we won't go back and change that.
Let's see... I think we're waiting on the Matriarch and Cephalon right now.
Sorry. I'll get mine up soon.
Sorry, didn't think you were waiting on me, spreadsheet is updated now.
I was just guessing that's why no one had said anything recently.
I'm just waiting for the next bit. I thought we had done most of what there was to do with that group. I'm ready to keep up the cleansing. :)
Well, someone needs to go looking around in other rooms if you're going to run into anything more. ;)
Okay, Tikkik, prices for some ideas:
Standard-action laser eyes: 5000 forge points for a twin 5d6-fire-damage touch attack. 50' range, one round recharge time.
The griffon launcher is also 5000 forge points, given that you already have the figurine.
The ablative field generator is 7000 forge points, but you have to spend a move action to change between energy damage types it blocks. You think you could improve it to do so automatically later, but it will require some test data.
Metal-bolism costs 10000 forge points, and only does the immediate healing. Storing healing for later (the Stomach Pool) will take further tinkering.
Hmmm... I'll have to consider what new addition Tikkik wants to install first.
Anyone who wants gear, make sure to claim it before people start forging.
I'm also surprised that Cephalon hasn't started fighting himself over some of the loot. There's some nice stuff in there.
What's he going to do, eat it? He can't wear anything designed for medium and small bipeds. At most he can use the ioun stone, maybe an amulet.
Okay, mostly I want to see Cephalon fight himself over something. But I could really see the ioun stone raising questions of just how an ioun stone orbits something with that many heads.
Clearly it would take turns orbiting each head.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
So it wouldn't treat each head as a separate gravity well, using magic so solve the incomparably complex equations needed to determine its orbit around seven different moving objects, demonstrating that the Eight Body Problem is theoretically solvable, at least by mages?
...
Eh, whatever. Less loot claimed means more FP for Tikkik to spend on upgrades.
Is there an eleven-body problem? Because he has ten heads.
Oh, yeah. I thought it was seven for some reason. Whatever.
Whoops, yeah, me too, sorry.
According to this post, the HydraShrinker should cost 3*2*2000=12000 gold pieces, 1200 Forge Points. You are free to roleplay me trying to persuade you it's a good idea.
If the market price is 12000 GP, the Forge Point cost would be 6000 FP, if I'm reading the Forge rules right. It's as crafted for cost, and 1/10 for value as raw material, I think.
Tikkik has the right of it.
Ah, yes, I had read it completely backwards. Thought it was low.
