We be Goblin(?) Kings, Kingmaker

Game Master Freddy Honeycutt

Now that you're here, and you're not a wizard, I'm wanting to abandon the 3 levels of rogue, and go with taking 1 of 2 feats that let him become an arcane trickster with a single level of rogue.

Boom. You've got a serious caster and he's roguish, too. All but 4 class skills.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, the 3pp feat is overpowered. I'll take the PF feat when the time comes. He gets an extra 1d6 SA, letting him qualify at 5th, but with more and higher level spells.

KenderKin is the arbiter of that idea, not me.

Warpriest 12
Summoner 8

is the direction I was going in. Suboptimal but that's ok!

@Colvin You're not synth summoner are you?

@Colvin You're not synth summoner are you?

Nope.

I'm liking these scrappy small folk.

We could be okay; it's definitely possible. But I can also see the poor eidolon dying all the time as it soaks damage for us.

The Spirit of the Rat will die and rise again many times for us!

"Spirit of the Rat!"

Quuroog is currently planned to be a pretty dedicated healer, but I am always open to ideas and the game generally redirects my builds somewhat. Have something in mind?

Nah, not in particular, just general concern about the party's ability to take hits. I'm sure the GM isn't going to kill us because we agreed to play small monsters!

I will be doing my best healbot impression, I promise! ;-)

Sounds great, I love the interaction.

I have added a hex map for exploration so that we can easily identify the hex we are currently in. I procured the map via google-fu, so don't expect I can make changes to it....

So you guys started in E11, went into E9,

In E9 you found one group of bandit tracks headed into D8, and the other group (without the wagon) headed into D10.

Is this helpful?

Feel free to open up discussions and planning in the OOC thread, but also feel free to have all discussions in the gameplay thread.

I am waiting for other PCs to chime in, and then let me know what the plan is...

Just wanted to let you all know, I'm in the middle of this big storm that's supposed to hit tomorrow; there's a chance I won't have power and thus internet. I'll post tonight, and as best I can over the weekend.

Keep your head down! Be safe.

Me too! I just moved to ATL....

Thanks Quuroog!

And @KenderKin: What's it calling for down there? We're supposed to get 8-12 inches.

Grab what you need while you can. Then, just bunker down. Have some coffee. Play some checkers.

Not sure sounds like just a little relative to where I lived before, but this area has only had salt trucks for two years now. It is supposed to hit tomorrow afternoon.....

@Gufi We have a generator, so we'll be fine. We had a huge ice storm out here in like 2004; didn't have power for almost two weeks. We've had a generator ever since, lol.

@KK Ouch; they've already used the liquid "salt" for two days here, and I don't think there's a single school that bothered to stay open. And we're supposed to get it at 1am.

Good luck!

I am supposed to get anywhere from 2 -24 on Saturday incredibly accurate weather predictions I know...

I chose the wrong career.

Two natural ones on stealth....whatever shall I do..

Well at least two of us made it!

I am guessing we shall be noticed...

@Colvin Right? I wish I could be that vague...

And lol @KK: I might as well have just shot my gun!

It turned out OK. The bandits have thunderstones....

Will out heroes charge the camp? Will they stealth away and come back again????

I'm so sorry, I thought for sure I was on Discussion.
I deleted it.

I also deleted my response.

So first, here's the OOC version of what I'm going to try terribly to say IC in a minute.

Gufi uses Dancing Lights as far to the right or left of their location as he can, to look like glowing eyes.

Colvin tries to sneak around and shoot the dude doing laundry, hopefully with his poison.

Y is going to yell at them, first in Draconic and then in Common, pretending the lights are an angry dragon. He's going to tell Soggy to come around from behind the wagon and jump out with his scare.

Mite with the complicated name, pepper them with something at range until they're close enough to drop your Summon Monster on them, or sneak down and do it; this is the hardest part for me, since I won't know you have that or be able to tell you since you're up a tree. I think I'll have him mime an arrow or something, hoping you're looking.

Soggy's the signal; when he jumps, we attack. The eidolon can come charging in then, too. We'll just use our beasties to do the dirty work for us!

How's that sound?

OK.

If his Int were a little higher and we'd had more time, I'd've made him say the "we be goblins" chant as a speech.

Kobolds are supposed to think they're dragons, right? lol!

Quuroog will try to play along. Somehow, she left the lair without a weapon!

Right tab this time!
So we have one in a tree, one by the river, and eight coming towards us?

You see one in a tree.....

The 8 coming toward you include those from around the fire, and the one who was doing wash....plus a few others you didn't see before...

In answer to Gufi...

The bandit camp is in D8, you guys are in E9,

The bandits are advancing out of their camp...thus rendering the camp map useless.

Pretty much an open field....

@Quuroog You know you can always take 10 on Climb, even when threatened, right? Gotta love Climb speeds.

Thanks for the reminder!

Q. I am going to say that you ventured off to the right hand side, and climbed a tree near to the bandit camp, and thus near to the bandit standing on the platform (a few boards placed in the tree)...

I can't wait for Colvin's eidolon to pop out; nothing says "dead returning" than a mutable planar spirit!

Mix that with a Summon, and score one for the Monsters!

Dumb humans.

Just a note on "turns"

If I tell you your turn, then each of you may post in any order.

If I roll an initiative for the creatures, you each get a chance to win the roll for the group.

So in my thinking initiative for play by post is the simple "us" and "them" format.

For better explanation read my house rules under my profile....

I am pretty sure that a summoned celestial rat attack will get smite evil on its first attack...

I will check and update thread.

The archer that shot Yraalik crit; do you wanna roll to confirm/more damage?

The archer that shot Yraalik crit; do you wanna roll to confirm/more damage?

Only on a natural 20 I let the BBEGs/mooks get double damage. I do not usually roll to confirm crits for mooks. Just take 14 instead of 7.

Yraalik

Can do! And I'll take it; it's better than the x3 longbows get!

I have added the basic bandit info to the campaign info tab.

@Quuroog: If you're in the tree with the one bandit, I'm at least 30-40 feet horizontally away from you, and however far vertically you're up.

@Yraalik: That's why I asked - if I can get within 30', I can channel and reach you - or I can climb across and jump/fall down to get closer. Of course, I would also need to know how many unconscious bandits were within range - they might need some tender loving clubbin'.

How bad a shape are you in? Your status line says 2 hp?

Yeppers, 2/16.
