Can we get an update on the Tactical Map before we make any decisions? Are our weapons in the same room?

And are we still in the magic dampening area? So we're weaponless and magic-less? WTB 7 monk levels.

No. Different castle. Just weaponless. Spells are go go.

My ONE spell is a go go. How big is the room we are in? How close are the spearmen? How close is Ser Drostan? Where are the doors?

If he lies and confession kills him, get me to the corpse and protect me so I can eat his sin then talk to the dead soul to find out who poisoned the Lord. Please. Thank you.

Hey, working on something that might get us out of this. Y'all mind holding off posting for just a bit longer?

Are we out of initiative? Or still going?

Out. Waiting for Thelkonlanders to go down there :)

Am I the only person who imagines the spellcasters yelling out the exact name of the spell when they cast it? It makes me laugh super hard. Specifically when it comes to spammable orisons. "GUIDANCE... GUIDANCE... GUIDANCE... GUIIIIIIDANCE... GUIDAAAAAANCE... GUIDO-DANCE..."

Edit: Sadly that last one turned Thaegrin's skin orange and made him start doing a robot while grinding all upons Ser Drostan.

Heh, no I never imagined that. BUT I WILL NOW.

THAT BLUFF WAS A 31

GUY DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE!

DAMMMMMN NO EFFECT. HIS POWERLEVEL IS OVER 9000.

Who are we waiting on?

Thaegrin.

Yep! Sorry! I'll work on something tonight.

One thing I've been wondering. We all mostly work for Rudianos, do we get paid?

Room and Board plus extras on occasion.

Also, Jon, David, and Isaac level up. :)

Woo!
Hit dice roll: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6!
+1 to Intelligence! +1 to Will saves! +1 to BAB! 2 more spells per day (3rd and 4th level)!

I’ll allocate my 8 skills points later, and pick my two extra spells hopefully by tonight.

How long would it take to train warrior slaves to be sneaky? Not Anga-level sneaky, just sneakier than regular warriors?

A while...

A few months, maybe a few weeks if very rigorous training.

What about just 4 slaves? And just to stay in the back ground. Like hidden body guards? I'm asking for Sorcha, she has her 4 guards now, but I was thinking about doubling that with hidden bodyguards.

Four guards will rigorous daily training from Anga personally? 2 weeks.

Hit dice! 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10Figuring out spells!

Picked spells Acid Pit and Overwhelming Grief.

Put ranks in Kn: Religion, Kn: Geo, Bluff, Diplomacy, Perception, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Craft (alchemy)

I'm looking at spells I'd like to eventually add to my spellbook. Miserable Pity sounds like something Thaegrin would get, but I have a question for DSP: Do "attack spells" mean only the spells that deal physical damage?
Or would physically unharmful, mind-affecting spells count as attack spells also?
Example: Thaegrin casts Miserable Pity on himself. Fighter walks up to him but decides not to hit such a weak old man. Then Thaegrin attempts to Charm him. Fighter passes Charming save, then what? Miserable Pity ends?

I decree that attack spells deal physical harm, ability harm, poison, etc. Charm would not break the effect IMO.

Picked spells Castigate and Blood Biography. It's hard choosing spells that fit the story of Ezkal and not just things like direct damage spells :(. Ranks in intimidate, sense motive, perception, spellcraft, umd, dip and something.

Health: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11 BECAUSE FREAKING AWFUL ROLL SO HEROPOINT

Got: Cure Critical Wounds, Freedom of Movement, Wall of Fire, some orison I can't remember now.

Also, critical focus: Falchion because 8th level (awwww yeaaaaah).

Based of what you guys said, re-chose spells. Dropped a skill point to get an additional level 2 spell with inquisitor's favored class bonus. Got Flames of the Faithful, Invisibility, and Deadly Juggernaut.

Nice.

Actually, it's possible that they could take a 10, maaaaybe a 20. 20 assumes many failures, which is possible that they could do (dress and redress the wounds and redo makeup). It doesn't mention anything about the possibility of opposed rolls, just cannot be threatened.

From the Paizo SRD:

Taking 10: When your character is not in immediate danger or distracted, you may choose to take 10. Instead of rolling 1d20 for the skill check, calculate your result as if you had rolled a 10. For many routine tasks, taking 10 makes them automatically successful. Distractions or threats (such as combat) make it impossible for a character to take 10. In most cases, taking 10 is purely a safety measure—you know (or expect) that an average roll will succeed but fear that a poor roll might fail, so you elect to settle for the average roll (a 10). Taking 10 is especially useful in situations where a particularly high roll wouldn't help.

Taking 20: When you have plenty of time, you are faced with no threats or distractions, and the skill being attempted carries no penalties for failure, you can take 20. In other words, if you roll a d20 enough times, eventually you will get a 20. Instead of rolling 1d20 for the skill check, just calculate your result as if you had rolled a 20.

Taking 20 means you are trying until you get it right, and it assumes that you fail many times before succeeding. Taking 20 takes 20 times as long as making a single check would take (usually 2 minutes for a skill that takes 1 round or less to perform).

Since taking 20 assumes that your character will fail many times before succeeding, your character would automatically incur any penalties for failure before he or she could complete the task (hence why it is generally not allowed with skills that carry such penalties). Common “take 20” skills include Disable Device (when used to open locks), Escape Artist, and Perception (when attempting to find traps).

I could allow a take 10. But, it could be construed as treason if the wounds were discovered. Therefore, this act is more like a combat: there is definite threat.

So that would make it a 28 and 20 respectively?

Would a roll to aid that Heal check be work?

Lol Isaac. Yes.

I make that 25 and 10 respectively...

Math is hard guys.

I see your 25, and raise you 12.

Unless I'm missing something with the heal?

Also, I've been working off of the assumption that the alchemist is stabilized, and we would've noticed based on the heal checks if he wasn't. Is that the case?

He has. Off table, He is -8.

Does it make me a bad person that I kinda want to RP the torture?

Basically though, Tholan wants to torture the person and bring them back and torture them and bring them back until his mind breaks and he confesses to the crime...

Does it make me a bad person that I kinda want to RP the torture?

I think when we agreed to torture an innocent for days is when we stopped being not-good-guys and started being bad guys.

Let's just assume that we interrogated it since I'm an inquisitor and that we did it well and skip it.

Thaegrin didn't really make it clear -no confession was needed. A minimum of 3 days of torture was the sentence, followed by death. Someone found guilty of killing 2 nobles needs a harsh sentence, mostly so the rest of the common folk know not to even THINK about trying something like that. Might is right, and stuff.

Maybe just say how long each day you spend torturing him? Maybe Anga wants a turn.

Weekend was busy. Today is busy. I'll try to post tonight.
