Sorek, I whole heartedly agree. I don’t want to displace anyone who had to pick up my slack.
I have no problem making room for 7. Sorry for being slow all. I have been sick myself of late, but got a new cpap cleaner which should help.
Getting old freaking sucks.
As one of the greatest bands ever created said "You're older than you've ever been, and now you're even older, and now you're even older; you're older than you've ever been and now you're older still."
Yeah, know that feeling only too well.
Let's get you back with the party Baltor.
Okay great!
Brvheart could you just choose some item upgrades for Baltor if he got any of the booty. I am assuming he can have the holy longspear from the Ogre attacks unless someone already has it?
Sorek was keeping track of the gear and treasure. Let's see what he has first.
Sorek was keeping track of the gear and treasure. Let's see what he has first.
All of the coins and treasure were distributed and purchases were made. Except for the potions which I'll discuss in a separate post.
Sorek is currently wielding the +1 Holy Longspear. He is NOT the best wielder of the spear, Str+bab=+7 He does not have Combat Reflexes and therefore will only get one AOO/round. What he does have going for him is that he won't have to drop the longspear when switching weapons as he can still wield the longspear to fish for AOOs while using his unarmed attacks as his primary attacks for the entire encounter while Baltor will need to drop the spear (risk losing it if we retreat) if he wants to switch to his more powerful Waraxe and SHield combo
Baltor is built to Sword and Board, with feats devoted to this combat style. The longspear seems suboptimal for him compared to his Sword and Board.
However, Baltor did not receive anything from the treasure split...To remedy that, Sorek will happily give the Longspear to Baltor if you think you'll make good use of it.
Ok, what was the value of the split? it might be easier for me to just give Baltor something of that value.
Lom Lars and Sorek received 7,341gp from the split
Baltor has QuickDraw and an Efficient quiver he can use the spear with so he doesn’t have to drop it, but whatever the DM thinks is best I am fine with.
It is a long spear so will not fit in the quiver. A regular spear, yes. How about adding another plus to one of your weapons?
Okay, fair is fair.
Your choice and something for about 1300 gp for the balance.
Has anyone felt the Summer Heat yet? 43 Degrees Celsius the other day.
It was about that here today. Has been very hot here since Saturday and will be all week.
It's been in the high 80s here, so summer will be starting for us probably early next month or the end of this month.
Knock Knock. Who's there. It has been 6 days since activity in the game thread...
I hope Bastion can rejoin us soon....But if he doesn't, at what point should we recruit another cleric? We should probably have a Cleric on board before any major encounters
I'm fine with pausing the game for a month to give him time to rejoin us. but that's just my vote
Yeah, you probably do not want to go beyond the door without a cleric. I don't mind waiting if the rest of the group wants to.
Do we want to recruit or put the game on pause?
Let’s get a cleric going. Maybe someone who is willing to take over the existing cleric even?
My 2 cents is bot Bastion and continue... If we recruit, we have to walk back out of here, which will take a month of realtime, and then get back here - which will take at least another month of realtime...
I will go with the consensus.
Grelldar would you be open to taking over Bastion and botting him for a month to give Vrog time to return and so we can keep going to rebuild some momentum for this campaign?
If he doesn't return by October we can open a recruitment at that time.

I was kind of figuring that it really should be the GM doing that kind of thing, but I'm willing to give it a go...
I don't bot players sorry.
BadBastion reporting for duty...
Woot! He’s back.

Y'all realize that this is a bad imitation of Bastion; thus BadBastion...
We're saved.
Looks just like him to Baltor.
Hey Lom, are we really starting a major fight with you at 12 hp?
No, I've updated.
We never finalized the distribution of potions between Lom, Lars and Sorek.
Here is my proposed split:
potion, oils etc
cure light 9...3 to each
holy water 3...1 to each
water breathing 3....1 to each
antitoxin 6...2 to each
tanglefoot bags 3....1 to each
oil 3....1 to each
longstrider 3....1 to each
cure serious 3....1 to each
entropic shield 3....1 to each
ghoul touch 1.....Sorek
levitate 1....Lom
lesser restoration 1....Lars
remove paralysis 1.....Lom
invis 1...Lom
reduce person 1.....Sorek
flying 1.....Lars
pots of green slime 2....Sorek, Lars
remove disease....Lars
Looks good Sorek - thanks.
Big windows update messed me up, now I can't get into Roll20. Bear with it all please.
current incorporeal houserule gives a 50%miss chance but always full damage and no crits
does incorporeal have any impact beyond the normal houserule for Fantora firing into melee?
posting here to avoiding clogging up the gameplay thread...
Grelldar----"I don't think you do have a +1 from prayer, unless the opposing HP's prayer went down with him going down (and I don't think it should, it's not a concentration spell...). Something that I'm not sure you are taking into account - the hound archon's magic circle against evil 10', and the aura of menace..."
1.PRAYER
The circles are the effects of Grelldar's bomb with the DC 20 will save (stuns for the green, confusion for the yellow.) The ones by the door aren't inside the blast radius. There's also a DC 16 (ref?) save for the High Priest for the tanglefoot bag effect.
Bastion wasn't following Grelldar into the room, he was just charging towards the space by the door where Grelldar used to be. The path drawn from where Bastion is now is the one that Grelldar took, so he does draw those two AOO that you rolled. Bastion is trying to engage the ones by the door rather than pass them.
Of course if I've got that wrong anyone who did something else should speak up. Hopefully that's making sense?
reflex: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 4 = 16
The priest is 30' in the air so this would mean only one priest would be in the radius.
reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Because the high priest was 30ft in the air at time of casting prayer none of our characters were impacted by Prayer, some of the priest/acolytyes benefited but we were not affected by that spell.
So Sorek has the beneficial Prayer giving him +1 w/o being affected by the negative Prayer.
2. Hounds MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST EVIL
Sore is within the Hounds MCAE and therefore benefits from +2ac (deflection).
His posted ac vs incorporeal touch attacks was 26.
However, I forgot to update my stat bar to include the +1 from haste which brings his ac vs incorp touch up to 27.
And when within the Archons Circle giving +2deflection, which overrides his normal +1.....Bring Soreks ac vs incorp touch up to 28 when w/in 10ft of the Archon
Soreks ac vs touch breakdown
+7 wis
+2 dex
+1 dodge
+1 NA (does not apply)
+4 Mage Armor
+1 Insight buff for 2 min
+1 Haste
+1 deflection constant
=27
with Archon circle (+2 deflection)= 28
Soreks ac vs the Spectres touch is 28 and the attack MISSED.
Also it looks like they need to roll vs the Archons Aura of Menace
I will just note that prayer has a 40' radius, and I don't have time to do the trig...
If we were calculating distance in 3-space from the High Priest to Sorek it would be sqrt (15^2 + 30^2 + 30^2) which is 45 feet. Pathfinder doesn't calculate distance that way, but taking the 35 feet of horizontal distance into account as well as the 30 feet vertically, there's pretty much no way Sorek is within 40 feet under any method that might be used to calculate it.
I was unclear about the Archons Aura of Menace vs Undead and whether it would help us vs these Spectres, so I did a little googling and this is what I found
TLDR... the Hounds Aura of Menace DC16 appears to be an expression of Holy power, not a fear affect and will help us vs the Spectres and everything else here within its radius
no impact on firing into melee.
Ok, we lost Vrog Skyreaver/Bastion as of Aug 20, so it's been a couple of months. I've been botting Bastion as BadBastion for the while, but I'm kinda figuring we're not seeing Vrog again. So, while I can continue BadBastion for the rest of this fight, I guess we are going to be running back to town after this - there are already 5 negative levels between us (Although how did you only get 1 rather than 2 Sorek?), and it looks like there will be more...
Thus, I motion that we open recruiting to find another a cleric...
yup...time to recruit a cleric.
re neg lvls. Sorek got hit with an enervation -1lvl, his ac improved with haste and the archons magic circle against evil. That was enough to make the boss spectre miss the touch attack.
sorry I am focused on the election at present all
From the game thread:
xp=11983 each ...
...
Btw that xp will take us up to 8th level
Ok, those of us who just started (Grelldar, Bastion), came in at 7th level. I assume this means 35001 XP, so this fight doesn't make us 8th (51000 xp)...
