The Tomb of Abysthor and The Slumbering Tsar!

Game Master Tuyena

that works for me!

Seems about right

Yep, works for me too.

As for marching order Somonti will be towards the back, probably just in front of Nil.

Nil agrees to this.

I dunno if rolling uncalled-for-by-the-DM, vaguely defined Perception checks is cool. Went and did it, feel free to tell me off.

More than fine, I also assume you take 10 normally if you don't roll.

On that subject, how are you with pure RP rolls? By that I mean, rolls that have no mechanical effect, just determin how well a bit of RP action goes.

Totally fine

How are we doing xp by the way? Medium progression?

Yes.

I can tell I'll be preparing Detect Magic tomorrow. Oh well.

I sure as heck down have it.

Can Alianne charge something from her position, or is people in the wat for every one of the toads?

From the way it seems situation Alianne was somewhat near the front while the frogs attacked from what we assume is the side. If there was one to charge I would assume it was Ptolem's or Neils. But those may not exist in short order.

D'uh, I got confused. I wanted to charge because I thought I was 35ft. away from the group, but looking at the numbers, it's only 15ft. away total, so I can get there with a move action.

Thanks for the advice, Nil. It helped to think about where we were in relation to the temples.

dotting for future reading enjoyment. Have read this adventure. Not as brutal as Rappan Athuk, but it is Frog God Games.

I wish you all good luck.

It looks like the toad grappling me just took like 25 damage. I'm going to wait to see if he's dead or not before posting my action.

No, The toad Grappling you took 14 damage. No one else attacked it save Nil.

The toad attacking you has only been hit for 14 damage, the rest attacked Varian's, missed, or did not attack at all.

Edit:Ninja'd

Does Neils have any weapon besides his Two Handed Mindblade?

A one-handed and light mind-blade. I hadn't formed it before combat started.

EDIT: Woops, misread it. I'll need to use Shape Mind Blade to get it down to a one-handed.

Thats sadly not possible, because of the choice at first level until you achieve the Blade skill that allows that at 2nd.

Then what the hell does Shape Mind Blade even do?

It allows you to change the damage type and the Enhancements on your blade later on. The Damage type you can do as a Full round action. It says that in both descriptions.

"Reshape" should mean reshape.

Anyways, no, I get to sit here getting eaten for now. I can throw a stun vial but I think that'll make things worse.

It does reshape it, into various forms of looks, sizes and configurations. As well as enhancements and damage types. You can't say that isnt reshaping.

After this combat you may need to borrow a weapon from someone.

You can also attempt to get out of grapple

If Ptolem takes down the toad I still have a chance to get an attack in.

You would not actually because Ptolem is acting on a new turn order, delaying to after he acts would only affect your Initiative order.

Niels is the only one injured, then? How much damage did you take?

Eight.

I think maybe Somonti's heal check was overlooked? Unless it was resolved via PM.

Oh wow I somehow missed it, it looks like it hit right in the middle of a flurry of posts, sorry about that.

Was there two temples? I seem to recall hearing them described as twin temples Have we examined both of them?

You have not examined the other.

How many skeletons are there anyway? Trying to decide if I should buff or just have at it.

Also: Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5, do we know anything about these skeletons?

Edit: Meh.

4, I put it in the init roll.

How much xp are we currently at?

Extraordinarily close to 2.

I assume no one is particularity waiting on anything? I myself for any outside stimulus from other players. Or reactions, either or. Want to make sure people are healed an whatnot before more exploration.

In my experience, waiting for player stimulus for too long slows the game down. If nobody has posted anything within 24 hours, best to just do whatever it is you want to do.

The GM is kind of in a bind when nobody posts an action for a while.

Oh Im well aware, I tend to be the one to push regardless but that is less the case when

A) You don't have a confident character or good face

B) You are a main backline character and thus shouldnt be in the front most of the time

Now albeit Nil is a bit special due to his capability to switch, but ideally he shouldnt be forward unless it is known his Energy Resistance or dexterity would assist against things. Along with his good senses.

How come were just ignoring the temple?

Because we have nothing we can do to or with it, unless we for some reason want to act as a clean-up crew for a defiled temple of a dead and/or useless god.

We don't appear to have the knowledges required to identify the symbols, and found nothing else of note, so why not move on?

We haven't even looked inside.

Okay, so working theory is that using the scrolls will open something. Each correspond to one statue.

Maybe it's back entrances to the tomb? I hope it's not something important.

Hey, GM, these swords. My Rolls.

Oops sorry I missed the appraisal roll, they're just regular longswords.

Should we level ASAP or wait?

You can level right now, I never much cared for waiting to rest.
