Oooo do you have constrict, too?
Are you able to initiate a grapple as a bear using grab and then shift into a snake? Or does that require an action you wouldn't be able to use in a grapple?

I don't have constrict. :(
I can't easily switch forms in battle, it takes too long. There might be a feat for that.
The snake's combat thing is free Combat Reflexes and reach, and the poison is constitution damage...the worst kind! Fewer attacks (just a bite), but it does more damage so good against DR.
You could have become a flying mount that sees in the dark and you didn’t?!? Can you imagine how horrifying it would be for anything without darkvision to have you swoop down on them out of nowhere with me on your back, and then vanish into the black again?
PS- I haven’t had a chance to level up yet but I’ll try to get it done tonight.
Fair enough. I’m coming around on the snake anyways (see my comment in gameplay).
Me <looking at things I probably shouldn't instead of leveling>: "hmm... isn't there a Wisdom based alchemist? With a 1 level dip I'd be able to make myself ant haul extracts (to be Jake the Snake), and mutagens to stack with rage when I really need to lay the smack down..."
lol.
edit: I think I'm done with leveling
This is a fun group of characters! Lol!
Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the rest of the Catacombs...
What did other people get for leveling?
I get a vigilante social talent, and I'm picking Ancestral Enlightenment, which gives me a +4 on any knowledge skill in which I have at least one rank (which is all of them).
I also get Startling Appearance:
At 5th level, a vigilante learns to use the element of surprise to his advantage, startling foes that are unaware of his presence. Whenever a vigilante with this ability attempts an attack against a foe that is completely unaware of the vigilante’s presence (usually due to Stealth or invisibility), the foe is treated as flat-footed for the rest of the vigilante’s turn (uncanny dodge or a similar ability prevents this effect unless the vigilante is at least 4 levels higher than the foe with uncanny dodge). The foe also takes a –4 penalty on attacks made against the vigilante until the start of the vigilante’s next turn.
Do you normally only get a single attack where they are flat-footed?
Yeah, that's always been one of the difficulties for rogues if they can't get flanking. If you've managed to hide yourself with stealth, it's only good for one attack, because after that, your target knows you're there (hence the need for sniping rules).
Yup, you’ll want to be at full health before you proceed.
I've been delinquent, but I've leveled Boga and will post shortly.
Regarding healing, I am playing that every time we have descended into the catacombs and passed the Fountain of Blood Transformed into Wine, that Boga has refilled his waterskin and vials with the wine.
Regarding the headband Quinlan liberated from the rainbow room... Quinlan already has a headband (one that he made) and Boga is looking for skill ranks in Knowledge (Planes), so unless someone objects, I am going to play that Boga snatches that headband.
Also, we have to rest before we get new spells, right?
EDIT: What language comes with the headband?

Infernal
I had just picked up Infernal through Linguistics. Mind if I switch it? Or put the Linguistics rank elsewhere?
I'm back, will level soon. I was going to say someone else should take the headband, the wis/cha don't give me much besides +1 will and I already have good planes.
Ohhh. I do still want the headband, the wisdom and charisma are good for me, as well as the intelligence; however, I must admit that I didn't realize the headband was for all 3. I was thinking it was just intelligence tied to planes. It is much more valuable than I was thinking. If someone else would benefit more, or if the party wants to sell it, let me know. I didn't mean to just try to swipe such a great piece of treasure.
Instead of Infernal, it comes with Aklo
Did Johann transfer the now trademarked Rumpelstiltskin Rucksack to Boga before he slithered off to investigate? If not, Boga would grab his tail until he did! Well, maybe not. Not exactly Boga's style, but you get the idea...
So Boga, are you trying to avoid getting into a fight, or just thinking they'll chase us when we retreat (giving up their advantageous position)?
I'm on board with that, although if it looks like they won't pursue I'm inclined to kick it off by throwing a mystic bolt at the centaur/lamia.
He's not trying to avoid the fight. He just doesn't want to walk into a trap. Based on our previous experience, he wants them to funnel to us as much as possible. He doesn't believe the centaur is really chained, for example.
If only 1 or 2 of us had Knowledge (Planes)...
I have some more overnights coming up. july 9-13 and 16-20. I may be able to post sporadically for the first week, unlikely for the second. I'll try to catch up in between the two. My sincere apologies for all the prolonged absences but its the way the job goes.
No worries, Quinlan, work before play. If needed, I’ll bot ya...
Do we need to declare that we are using the boon? Or does it automatically take effect when we would otherwise take ability damage?
I'm excited to see that Commanded shadow attack the lamia. =D

I’d say it will take effect upon being ability damaged, unless you declare that you’re saving it for another instance.

Yup, you guys are turning the tables on these foes nicely lol
Sorry I’ve been slow to post... I’ve had a headache for a couple days that’s making it tough to spend much time looking at phone/computer screens. I’ll try to post soon but feel free to bot me if needed.
Oh, sorry! When I read MJ's series of posts earlier I read it like a sort of fast-forwarding to the end of combat. After Johann's post I read it again and realized that's probably not actually what you were doing.
Sorry for the confusion, I saw where the battle was going and thought I’d speed things up a bit...
Would you like a fey Lord to Join you?
Hehe getting bored at the other table, Lord P?
@Little Lord: Have things slowed at the other table? I have not been keeping track.
@This Table: Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have not rested since leveling, so we don't even have our new spells, etc. Plus I'd like to get some of that high quality wine from the fountain. Even bring a few extra waterskins full, I should think. Boga is against either destroying or using the circle immediately.
I was thinking that what I remember of summoning circles in D&D/Pathfinder is that they are used to keep a summoned creature confined. By damaging it, we may be creating an opportunity for something to escape--probably something nasty.
Lucius might, with his spellcraft check.
Hey, thanks for your patience! We had a couple days here in the mid to high 90s and I am not well suited for the heat. I rarely wear more than a sweatshirt even in those (in)famous Buffalo snow storms, but apparently doing anything at all when its really hot out will give me heat exhaustion in no time. It took a while to get over the dehydration that came with that but I'm feeling much better now and should have a post up tonight.

How's our loot situation? We have these 2 3,000 gold opals. Did we get anything else on this trip?
We have a handful of magic items from the rainbow room- are we keeping all of them? (Though I would argue that if anyone doesn't want the one intended for them, that they sell and keep the profits themselves.)
(Johann likes his amulet).
