Sounds like a great time, welcome back JJ
Ditto - glad you're back safe and sound mate - we've missed JJ's impetuousness :)

I laughed out loud when I saw the "What would JJ do when facing a bad smelling demon? Charge!" line.
You channeled him perfectly.
Trip was great. Oracle at Delphi was not quite what I expected, but very glad to have visited it.
Saw a bit of Rome that I had not visited in the past too.
I've visited Delphi before it's definitely a good steep hike!
If anyone else hasn't noticed:
some messages seem to get eaten up when you hit 'submit post'
if that happens, just hit our refresh button (F5 on most browsers)
that should make it appear properly.
Just started noticing this the past few days.
It was a pretty hot hike. I knew it was hilly, but wasn't expecting it to be quite such a vertically oriented site. The stadium at the top was quite a surprise.
And one of the best preserved, if I recall rightly..
@Kikinnin, Ryan's comment you quoted was about Juraan not Kaurophon it was a continuation of his comments about the professor. Only the third section was specifically a out Kaurophon
Ah, thanks for the clarification. If it please our GM, please disregard Ryan's quote from Kik's post.

@All: Slammed at work, busy phase of ops going on with skeleton crew (alas not the undead, ceaselessly working kind). Likely tail end of the week before I get some clear air - please bot me as necessary.
No idea how I missed the 10th Level Up... but just realised I did :S - think it was during the Time of Great Unrest upon the boards...
Noticed Juraan's profile header, then cross reff'ed with Marigold and Ryans... Think my bror has remained 9th out of solidarity for me also lol!
Permission to "level up" after this encounter GMR? Will be taking a level in the Arcane Trickster PrC :)
Yes, sure, go ahead Maxim!
It was during one of the site ups I had time to post you could level up so you had something to do during the next break that happened not much long after ;P
Cool - will wait until we're done with the Cathedral as I've never been a fan of mid-encounter power ups lol...
Chalk it down to the dwur continent being more methodical and canny than the impetuous humans and hobniz :)
I missed it too! But then JJ's attention span hasn't been the best recently...
BTW, can I get a check on Alkast the staff. I've written down "holy" but I think earlier I was assuming it was evil outsider bane. While they are very similar, there are some subtle differences, and I want to make sure I have it right.
It's a +1 evil outsider bane quarterstaff, but additionally it deals damage as a good aligned weapon. Both extremes of the staff have these enhancements.

Uh, yeah. That was truly my intent, waiting for my slower brother to realize he hadn't leveled up as of yet. Yep. You know what they say about blondes...
How do you make a blond beard laugh on Starday?
... Tell him a joke on Moonday.
...
Blond beard approaches the priest, looking for healing. "Holy one, I'm in deep trouble. My body hurts everywhere I touch it! Please heal me!"
The priest looks him over, and shakes his head. "Impossible. Show me where it hurts."
The blond beard pokes his elbow, and screams in pain. Then he pokes his knee, and lets out another yelp. Pokes his forehead, and barks out loud.
The priest nods. "Should have known from your flaxen hair. Your finger's broken."
...
How do you get a one-armed blond beard out of a tree?
... Wave at him.
If it's the same to you, master GM, I'm gonna level up before this little scuffle unfolds...

@ GM_Rusteg: I did post my level 10 stuff a while ago, didn't I?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Har-Har Bror... You were one jape away from the old shepherd's crook snagging you stage left ;)
I will let this encounter play out, then level up (or regret my stubbornness as those extra valuable HPs become the difference between glorious survival and a dirt bath lol).
Fuss up time. If the salamander is a normal (albeit big) one, then Alakast won't do bonus damage to him. Evil outsider bane only does extra damage to outsiders with the evil subtype. Alignment itself is not enough :-(
Of course he may have a template that also adds the evil subtype, in which case, roll on extra damage!
@ GM_Rusteg: I did post my level 10 stuff a while ago, didn't I?
Yes, you made it on 26 August!

They placed here a Noble Salamander, which is a type of salamander not ported to Pathfinder Bestiaries. I am thus applying the D&D3.5 statsblock. It seems on D&D the salamanders where evil (in most cases) so that is why the bane ended up applied ;)

Right, thanks!
Though it shouldn't affect my posting too much, my work schedule has been shifted to solely night shifts in the wake of our one dedicated night shift person quitting unexpectedly. This will probably be what I'm doing for the somewhat-foreseeable-future so you'll be less likely to see posts from me during daylight hours (say, anywhere from about 8-10am up to 5-7pm CST).
I think it will be ok Marigold. We are all in very different timezones and things are advancing anyway.
I do not know whether Juraan's Ram's ring should face Spell Resistance. I am inclined to think so, but I have no idea what rules govern magic items and spell resistance, but I do not think all items have to face SR :/
See as much as I want to defeat evil and save Cauldron yada-yadda - part of me wants to grab a tub of popcorn and take in the EPIC throw down between JJ and my bror!
I know its wrong darn it, but it'll be a one helluva scrap

So is JJ going to take off his wig first?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Oh come now. JJ doesn't need a wig.
And Mr Wig was by far the better swordsman...
Yes but much like the bard flitting around with his rapier, Kikinnin's axe will split you in'twain much like the claymore did that dandy. ;)
I'd pay good coin to watch a battle between Marigold and Juraan.

Then there's any of you vs Maxim :)

Well played, bror:) Brilliant
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Love both of those scenes, nice choices
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
With all these Fly spells kicking about I'm foretelling a scene like this playing out in the future: "Maxim's hit! I'm going in after him!"
Think the roles of JJ and my bror speak for themselves here lol.

Hey guys, I'm leaving on a trip later today and won't be back until Wednesday afternoon. While I'll have my phone with me and might be able to squeeze in an update Tuesday, don't expect much until I get home. As always, feel free to bot Marigold as necessary.
I'm back from my trip! Had a great time and did a lot of shopping :)
Seems like you had a lot of fun. Welcome back :)
Hey, quick question- anyone getting a floating pic of pathfinder behind their Gameplay thread on their phone? No weirdness on my laptop, but it's pretty ugly trying to read on the phone...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
^Yeah, according to posts in Website Feedback it's an unintended result of some of the code fixes they rolled out earlier today and will be fixed...hopefully sooner rather than later.
I don't get it, and feel I'm missing out of the Merisiel love.
I don't use my phone for Internet stuff.
And anyway, is anyone else having posts they definitely made just disappear on a regular basis lately?
Most of mine take a refresh or two before I'll see them show up but I don't think I've ever had any of mine disappear later after the fact.
Oh and Happy Thanksgiving, guys! Or Happy Thursday, if you prefer. Or both, that's cool too :)
Gang - just a wee heads up that my last grandparent passed this morning :(
My Granny Connie was 97 and the matriarchal fulcrum of our pretty big extended family. I'm being pretty philosophical about it and the good life she led, but just a heads up that if I'm off beat over the next wee while please bear with.
Cheers

Condolences for your loss of Connie, Maxim. Hope she’s breathing those genes through your tree. Gives you many years to remember her fondly, and to others. I’ll toast to her tonight.
