@ogon/toshio - I would recommend choosing some spells that aren't already in Quinlan's spellbook since he can share those with you. That way we both end up with larger spellbooks.

This is similar to Snake Style for Boga. By my reading, when he is targeted, he has to decide whether to use his regular AC or whether to use an immediate action to make a Sense Motive check and then use the higher of the two. Most of the time, he would want to take the immediate action. But if he knows he wants to use his swift, then he would not, unless it was something terrible from the BBEG or something. So I can just spoiler a Sense Motive check every one of his turns that he is not trying to save his swift action. The times that he is targeted and didn't preemptively provide a Sense Motive check would have to be worked out as you describe above.

Yeah, I've decided on Shield and Speechreader's Sight for my two spells learned.
Flash forward to Spring of 2010 AD...
Cartoon Network debuts its adult cult classic cartoon Bear and Fox during Its Adult Swim programming hours... Pilot episode: The Stinky Projectile Vomiting Fiasco is a hit with hipsters and college students...
Obscurely inspired by old, violently vulgar Bear and Fox puppet shows, which were inspired by bards’ tales of Johann’s and Ogon Fox’s adventures in the Catacombs...
I don't see any reason why you wouldn't get to grab again if the first one fails. The rest of it looks correct but I'm no rules lawyer.
Sorry for the delay, it is the ghasts turn... I’ll post their attacks today when I get a chance... So many ghasts! Lol... Actually only 4 now, but still...
Feel free to post round 2 actions and I’ll sort it out in a bit...
I blame my girlfriend lol... tempting your goodly GM away from his ghastly duties last night with her feminine wiles lol...
Daaaaamn, Ogon! So sorry, man! Lol... brutal round for our kitsune vigilante... Hopefully Boga can quickly fix the booboos and keep you alive... I really like your PC and would hate for you to have to roll up a new one or retire from the game, you are a fun player and contribute much to this PBP.

Oh I would definitely roll up a new character in a hurry, no way I'm leaving this campaign! 'Twould be a shame to see Toshio/Ogon cut short, but life is tough, and John Dunstable will still begin counterpoint in music history, we've just learned that he was inspired by two birds singing, one of whom was actually a fox playing an organetto...
There's a certain romance to that, I think...
But I shouldn't get ahead of myself--the Ogon Fox lives yet at this moment!

I know, that’s what I love about this setting lol... Paizo should totally hire me to design an alternative to Golarion...
You guys gave them the business! Lol...
Now to heal up Fox and Arc, who are paralyzed and nibbled on...
lol, gotta love that 18-20 crit range!
yeah! Ghasts are easy peezy now. Bring on the vampires! (uh... don't know what I am saying... ignore this)
“Don’t get cocky kid...”
@MJ66 -- Would Boga know of Ghoul Fever?
@MJ66 -- Would Boga know of Ghoul Fever?
Yes. It accompanied the Black Plague when that epidemic decimated the populations in previous centuries.

Good deal. So, assuming we get through the day without dying and return to the surface, Boga can take 10 on Heal checks to give a +4 to saving throws for those infected with Ghoul Fever?

Yes
Boga has 4 scrolls: 2 each of Hide from Undead and Detect Undead. Hide from Undead will last 10 minutes; Detect Undead lasts 1 minute. Using Detect Undead requires using a Standard Action to concentrate, so it would slow movement, but eliminate surprise. @MJ66, it is not clear to me whether Detect Undead can be cast on another.
Hide from Undead allows a save for intelligent undead, so it is not perfect. Even if a light source is carried, the undead would not be able to detect the person, just see the light. I believe this means that the person would still be invisible to them, just that his square would be pinpointed (is that right?).
Boga would be willing to scout. He has good movement (40') to run away, though he, too, would need a light. He also has good perception. He would not engage any foe he found unless absolutely necessary. And, of course, he could always scream like a little girl...
Any suggestions?
Each PC now has 3,537 XP for defeating the 6 ghasts and lightning the red crystal...
Are we pushing forward with Ogon? Or do we want a consensus? (By consensus, I mean 2 others supporting a proposal.)
I’ve assumed pushing southeast with Ogon, with apologies, to keep the game moving... if a majority would prefer a different strategy, we will retcon...
Ok. I'll be unavailable for a while. Will catch up later.

Sorry, didn’t mean to assume everyone would accept Fox’s plan over Boga’s, he just posted his idea first and I went with it thinking everyone would be okay with it.
I’m at work atm so I can’t set up a battle mat til I get home. Theater of the mind this fight...
I'm not sure if these skeletons are mindless or not but either way Quinlan doesn't know and he doesn't want the spell to fail so I'm burning the arcane reservoir point.
So, soften them up with a slippery scorching before kiting them back to the pit seems like a pretty surefire plan, and the safest way to dispatch the mindless skeletal champions...
Would the party rather lure the skeletons on a somewhat longer chase back to the pit and hand wave this encounter, or play it out at the flaming grease slick?
You’ll get the same XP either way...
I'm good either way, although obviously hand waving is more efficient.

At this point, I'm for fighting them here. Isn't the pit trap sprung? Or was it closed when we passed by earlier? It will be hard to convince them to jump in if it is open!

No worries. As they say, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." And... It obviously works!
Retreat is always an option. I'm just thinking that the pit is open and obvious. Of course, there is always the sagging floor in Room 3... Could we get enough of a head start to lead them into it without catching ourselves?
EDIT: Four of them are on the ground in fiery grease; Lucius has not yet joined in; Quinlan has control of 1 of them, plus he has magic missiles. We still have options.
I think we have a much better chance of holding them here than we would have a couple of levels ago. I’m all for fighting it out, but it’s up to the party to decide.
was "Help us deal with these a##%#~%#s" a clear enough command for a skeleton or does it need something more specific?

Lol, yes, it does the trick... The controlled skeleton blocks the others from exiting the flaming grease as best it can, which seems pretty helpful to me, including pushing the other skeleton not already in the flaming grease onto the pile lol...
For reaching the milestone of 20 pages of gameplay, I'm awarding the party 2,000 XP, which divides into 286 XP per PC, so each character currently has 3,823 XP before I award XP for defeating the two zombies and these six skeletal champions... Making good progress!

@Johann -- Your natural attacks do bypass the skeletons' DR, so there is no issue using them against these enemies
Claws and bite are bludgeon?
Yes. Bite is BPS, claw is BS. See the table here.
Well that makes no sense, but okay.
Still might want it for things you don't want to touch...
