Checking back in - B4 is up, right? You all aren't waiting on me?

sorry guys my PbP pathfinder game (this one) was interrupted by my home game...I'll get caught up in a Jiff..

Didn't Torvald delay last round until after Jamir's turn?

Yes, he did.

You're right, Jamir.

Jamir, if you acrobatics away from B7 (to avoid the AoA) and up to behind B4 (risking the AoA - he can max, do 4hp damage to you) to flank with Jawhar, Torvald could target B7 and take him out.

Alternately, Torvald could simply target B5 (who will be an easier target than the prone but non-entangled B4), and Craggark will simply have to take his chances with friendly fire. Jamir could attempt to finish off B7.

I think option #1 is the better choice, but that's me.

I'd be curious to hear other options.

I didn't realize Torvald didn't have any weapons. He can take always take my sling for the next combat.

He has alchemist fire I believe

And Jamir is up currently, I believe, as Torvald delayed last round until Jamir could come to his side.

yeah for some reason I still have Torvald in front on my herolab initiative order but, I think Craggak is correct Jamir is first..though it really doesn't matter what order you guys take your turns..

I don't have the movement to get into position to flank B4, but otherwise looks good. Will post in a minute.

I swear; I think Jamir has rolled above a 10 once during this entire combat. The Dice Gods continue to frown upon us.

And for the record, I didn't realise that Jamir had a 30ft base move; I thought that you'd have to take two movements.

Looks like Jawhar has the opportunity for a flank!

Go team!

(Unconscious Cheerleader Craggark)

Would I reroll damage? Seems to me that at a table I'd roll the 3, declare the reroll, and only then roll damage once the reroll hit. As much as I dislike that 1, I don't think rerolling the attack gives me a new damage roll.

But I don't know, my only other character used his reroll very first session to get another Reflex save and not die. So this hasn't come up for me.

I'm new to PbP, but you roll the damage and the attack with the same line in PbP.

If you're declaring a reroll, then I would think you'd reroll the entire line, but I'm simply looking for a silver lining to our poop-stained cloud.

...nope. I'm going to call in my New Character Reroll.

New Character Reroll? Is that a thing?

I see rules about GM rerolls and about T-Shirt rerolls (I seriously need to buy a T-Shirt), but what is a New Character Reroll?

Been trying to locate it in my PFS guide and also can't find the rule.

Ugh, okay, guess I missed then. I guess I misunderstood what was happening that session (I hadn't been in Germany long at the time, my German sucked). Sorry y'all.

Yeah, at some point my rolls need to regress to the mean, but apparently not this combat.

Jamir has the Fleet of foot alternate racial trait for the extra speed. Because of course he does.

Vindication!

Odds are, I believe, even now with the fall of B4. B2 is staggered at 0hp and just needs a gauntleted fist from Torvald to exit the fight.

Alternately, Torvald could send his last bomb (or an acid flask) at B5. That would hit the remainder of the enemy combatants, and maybe not-so-much Jawhar and Craggark as they are prone? (Yeah, I know. I'm looking for help.)

Craggark is absolutely fine with being bombed to save all of our hides. That's what the wand of CLW is for. BTW, please use it instead of Jawhar's spells if possible.

Ok, unconscious Craggark out.

Jawhar is out of spells other than one domain spell that can't be converted to CLW.

I don't care about being splashed.

I'm not sure whether 4 is down or disabled, but either way She isn't long for the fight.

Torvald's most efficient move is to go hit Craggark with the wand of Cure lt in this GM's humble opinion.. Torvald threw his last bomb last turn I believe.

I think I've thrown 5 out of 6, but I'll go back and count.

EDIT: nope, I'm out! Throwing alchemist's fire instead. Will come and heal Craggark ASAP.

I'm assuming that my passive (i.e. unconscious) Reflex save would be minus my Dex modifier, but I don't think I get a Reflex save vs alchemist's fire, as opposed to Torbald's bombs. Instead, I simply take 1hp + Torvald's INT modifier + his firebug feat in splash damage as does everyone else within 5 feet. I can't find a reflex save to avoid alchemist's fire splash damage. I may be wrong....

...but in other words, B2 and B5 are done! YASSSS.

I promise I'll come wand you next turn!

Is there a "new character reroll" that's part of the boons for playing The Confirmation?

He looks.

Nope. Hmmm...I want to say that I've heard of that before, however. Has your Torvald character played anything else?

Regular splash weapons only do 1 dam, so no need to talk about a save, I think.

Torvald, as an alchemist, gets to add his INT bonus to all splash weapons. He also gets to add a +1 for his Firebug trait. I think that's 1 + 3 + 1 = 5hp splash damage.

Do people agree?

You're correct on the int. being added to his splash dmg. (it's under the throw anything entry of the alchemist). Firebug only adds +1 on attack rolls with splash weapons and bombs, Although u might regret pointing this out..net dmg it does 3 more to u and Jawhar and only 3 more to the only upright enemy. But, thx for catching this. Jawhar is at 1hp and Craggark is at -6hp Craggark needs to make a DC:16 con check to stabalize. It's Jamir's turn (Jawhar readied an action) then Jawhar then Craggark.

No regrets - I thought I was at -7 before failing the stabilise check and falling to -8.

Torvald, Jamir has two alchemist's fires and three flasks of acid left. When his combat is over, do you want some or all of it? I didn't realize how much added damage you can do with standard splash weapons.

Yes, that would be good if we're planning on another fight. I'm also going to drink that Shield before we roll initiative. Worse case if I run out of munitions I just run around keeping you guys on your feet.

Sounds like a plan.

I also have two alchemist's fire and one acid you can use.

Jamir--may I borrow the bandolier too? Will need to buy one before the next adventure.

EDIT: nevermind, doesn't look like it makes any mechanical difference.

Not in this game anyways. In my home game, my GM rules that retrieving from a backpack is a standard action and that "retrieving a stored item" only applies to stuff that is readily available on your person such as a bandolier, pocket, belt pouch, etc. (making the benefit of a Handy Haversack that much better).

None at all, it was just for flavor.

So with Throw Anything I get to Int to other splash damage weapons. So at first level my bombs & alchemist's fire are the same. Damage is +3 for Int and +1 for Point Blank Shot (the throw was only 20ft)

Yep thank Craggark for looking this one up. Keep in mind the point blank shot xtra dmg. is only for the intended target ; it does not effect splash dmg. The guy you hit with the alchemist fire is a little extra toasty...

If Jamir's AoO jab doesn't drop this guy my advice; let him go, he has a movement of 30' Craggark will be two rounds behind; that leaves Jamir with the only real chance of catching him. If Jamir wants to chase him it could take up several days of con checks ect..in real life; and ultimately , red- beard knows the same things (maybe more) than the thug does

Torvald, you can have my two flasks of alchemist's fire as well if you'd like them. Would you?

Also, please someone hand Torvald a missile weapon. I'd do so, but I don't have one.

It appears that I was -2, not -3, as Torvald's Point Blank Feat extra damage does not apply to splash. I was then healed by Jawhar for 3hp, and then he let loose a channel for another 1hp. So Craggark is at 2hp. Does that look correct?

Have expended:
-all my bombs + 1 acid flask (said alch fire in post, that was wrong but numbers same)
-(5) charges of the wand since receiving it, don't know where it was before

Requesting:
-One alchemist's fire from each of you
-Two acid flasks from Jamir

Torvald, take both of mine. I will probably be busy with wands, etc in the coming battle.

I'll take the wand of CLW now and start healing. I'll hold onto it in the next battle.

Torvald, can you use Hand Axes? If not, take my sling and a few bullets in case you run out of splash weapons.

Current Health:
Torvald 10/10
Jamir 12/12 (impressive!)
Craggark (2/13)
Jawhar (2/8)

Craggark and I will start off each using one of the newly acquired potions.

Wand was full at the beginning of the adventure, so it should now have 43 charges left.

Someone else should begin the questioning as I will be involved with healing and making sure none of the brawlers are still bleeding out.

Jawhar, Torvald already used some charges from the wand of CLW to bring me back to full health in the Gameplay thread. He also healed you once as well.

Right, he mentioned that it was down 5, I used 2 just now, leaving 43.

Craggark should be fully healed, I used three charges in the Gameplay thread already for post-combat (2 on C one on you Jawhar)

Jawhar, please check the Gameplay thread under Torvald's last post. You didn't use any charges of the wand of CLW as we were both healed fully by Torvald.

The wand of CLW has 45 charges. The potions we obtained from the brawlers are intact.

I'll start tracking resources and put it on the Google shared page.

Craggark u can either ingest the pod of cure lt. Or save it for a potential battle later requesting wand hits now. I'm going to assume you all go forward into the next encounter fully healed you just need to let me know what resources got u there..(hint the wand of protection evil might not be as useless for a future encounter)(did I just give away there's more than one hehe!)

Thx Torvald that's a great idea: guys I'm going to rely on you to police yourselves on your resources as I view it kinda like the game of golf. " if you use your foot wedge to get better position you'll only be cheating yourself..." what that means to you is I'll sign off on just about any inventory tracking sheet or chronicle sheet in which you present me at the end of the adventure as long as there's not like a Vorpal sword on it or something... we're all adults so this isn't an issue for me. ( it might have seemed that it was on my first PbP but that's because the gunslingers paperwork was a mess)

I'd much rather use the wand right now, as only two people can access it, and it's best to have comestibles (i.e. potions) for use in battle.

I count 4 charges that have been used for the Wand of Protection vs Evil, correct?

GM, I'm the one creating the Google Doc.

...(hint the wand of protection evil might not be as useless for a future encounter)(did I just give away there's more than one hehe!)

I figured that - anyone who orders an ambush of people investigating an arson site without checking who they are pretty much has to count as evil. And doesn't every PFS scenario have 4 encounters? They might not all be combat, but given how this one is going, I would be surprised by anything else.
