Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

This is for out of character discussions once you are in the game.
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

Did the homunculus disappear into a puddle like the goblins, or is it still laying on the floor?
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

It's still laying on the floor, for now.
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

+100 XP each for the homonculus.

I'm going out of town for a friend's wedding starting today through Saturday. I'll try to make at least one post a day, even if it's something simple.

Create water will do something sometime, and you will rue that day!

It did something. It created a puddle....

Will be on vacation for a week starting tonight. I'll try to check the boards and post every couple of days, but bot me if needed. You know the drill, shoot the bad guy with Point Blank Shot (move closer if needed to get within 20' of pistol's 'touch' range), always use a grit point for Up Close and Deadly deed, and use Deadly Aim feat as well. If he runs out of grit, he'll just hope to get it back with a killing blow. Below are his 'usual' stats when he shoots:

Pistol +6 ranged 'touch' attack (if within 20' for pistol range); 1d8 +3 damage, +1d6 for Up Close and Deadly deed (on a miss, target still takes 1d3 damage for 'graze' shot).

Thanks!

Enjoy your vacation!
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

We're back! Waiting on a decision from Rafael and/or Phari. The other two can't do much right now....

Going out of town this weekend. Be back Monday!

Are we doing encumbrance rules? And if so, how much would all the chest's contents weigh?
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

Not counting the polished rocks that I didn't even mention? (no value except if you are low on sling stones)
The decorated silver plate is ~1 pound. The gems are small and of little to no weight. Standard weight for coins.

If you happen to state that you are stripping a set of chain mail off of something to carry, along with a dozen or more weapons I'll probably ask you to check your encumbrance.... Otherwise I don't worry about it.

GM, Phari cast Mage Armor back during the initial goblin encounter. Let me know when an hour has passed since then.

A note to the GM, Phari’s attitude is not a reflection of my own, he’s a chaotic good gnome, he stifles under repetition ;)

I really wish I hadn't read that last post right before bed lol I laid awake trying to figure out a plan. I just woke up, so I'll post what I figure out later today.

Also,completely unrelated, my wife and I just adopted my aunt's cat. She moved and couldn't take him with her. We have a cat already, so now begins the slow process of introducing them lol
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

So Rafael has Orcs 2,3, and 5 going toward him. Orc 5 has reached him and hit him for 7 damage. Orcs 2 and 3 follow in that order behind Orc 5.

Which was the one Rafael hit for 4 damage in his last turn?

Must have been orc#5
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

I assumed that you were shooting the closest, hoping to drop him before he got a chance to attack you....

I'm going to delay my post a little bit to see if I can get some help for you. Although I think Pharithstilis might have saved you. Orcs have a miserable Will save.
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

Yeah, I was shooting the closest one, I guess I was just unsure of which one that was number-wise. I know #5 was the one that charged at me first, so I assumed that was the one I hit for 4 damage. Then #5 hit me for 7, then I FFS away and hit #5 for 1 damage.

So, I think the layout is:

R #5 #2 #3

hey folks, I'm going to be travelling over the next 10 days. I'll try to keep up, but don't feel the need to wait on me.

Did we get experience for the 5 orc fight?
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

Please keep reminding me if I forget to post that.

Yes, it was 675 XP total, divided by the participants. I'd assume that since Ingra and Roland joined late they should get a little less. (and Ingra was NPC'd but for good RL reasons) My breakdown would be 200 each for Rafael and Phari, 150 to Roland and 125 to Ingra. Any disagree with that?

BTW: I like what you did with the map with labels. I'll put notes on mine for the future. (If I ever get around to posting it) I would recommend labeling stairs as "Up" or "Down" rather than by number. Sometimes going up or down a flight of stairs doesn't change your level. So while you are currently on level 1, there is no level 0 and those stairs were up.
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

Thanks for the clarification with the stairs. I forgot that part of "floor doesn't necessarily equal level". I'll make sure just to do "stairs up" or "stairs down".

And the breakdown of XP works for me.

Works for me too :)
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

Sorry for the delay. I'm away from home and don't have the ability to redraw the map. That was a great choice at it opens up a LOT of corridor and gives you a better idea of how big this area is. I'll be home Sunday and try to get it updated with all that you have discovered and the doors, etc that you find.
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

Happy (almost belated) Thanksgiving to all!
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

Sorry again. I didn't get the map posted. I will get it done tonight though. It is the first thing on my list once I get home, ~7 PM EST.

Rafael and Pharithstilis, What is your current XP total? I don't see it on Rafael's sheet and the CS for Pharithstilis says 100 XP which I know is wrong. If you are close enough to level 2 maybe I'll ignore the dice and add a wandering monster....

Hmm, lessee...

We killed the goblins, the homonculus, and the orcs. Right? Not sure if anything else is considered a challenge worth xp.
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

I thought there was one other thing, but you didn't open that door. That totals 400 XP. It'll take a few more encounters 'til next level....
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

Yeah, 400xp. I have it tracked in my app, just not in my character sheet here. I'll update that.
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

I'm guessing shooting by Ingrid will give the orcs cover (+4 AC) because of how narrow the hallway is?

"To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target’s square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover (+4 to AC)."
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

With the hallway and the doorway, I'd say that would be valid. Also, at your current location you could only target #9.

Ingra will need to make a decision about moving forward or pushing back (if the team lets her). That will also affect Pharithstilis's spell....

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and will have a great new year!
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

I agree. Hope everyone had a good Christmas holiday and have a Happy New Year. We are in Boston enjoying some time with our daughter and family, and particularly our grandson. Will be back home Sunday, but I hope I'll be able to handle the details of this little orc battle.... :-)

I'm a lova, not a fighta! Siiiigh lol

In the last GM message, you mentioned possibly the light flickering. Are these rooms lit with torches on the walls, just our lights, or is there a magical light aura sort of thing?
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

There is a fire under the pot.... Not magical though. It is starting to burn out as the fuel is burnt up.

Mostly though it was for effect. Did Pharithstilis start to disappear? or not?
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

He better not flicker out of here without us lol
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

Well.... that orc did. Or did he? Was he really there, or did you imagine that he was? If absolutely necessary could you prove it? Cogito ergo.... Ah, forget it anyway! :-)

So where will you be checking now? I'm assuming that you carefully searched all of the exposed hallway for secret doors, traps, etc. So that leaves:
The door at the end of the weird hallway in the top-left of the map
Ditto the one in the bottom-right corner
The room with the sarcophagi along the walls that you looked in to but did not enter
The doors in the room with the mural on the ceiling
And the teleporting crystal doorknob
Or the stairs up

Odd that you haven't found any stairs down yet. ??

I guess the top-left corridor, seeing as how it leads off the starving orc room.

Have we found a way into the sarcophagi room?
Male Human Cleric 1 | 8/8 | AC 15 T 12 FF 13 | CMD 11 CMB -1 | F +2 R +2 W +5 | Init. +4 | Perc. +3 | Door Sight 1/6 Bit of Luck 6/6 Channel Energy 1d6 4/6

I assumed that top-left hallway is what Roland was mentioning, and I'm cool going that way.

There is a portcullis leading into the sarcophagi room from the empty room, but I think Roland tried to open it and it didn't budge.
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

The door on the right hand wall of this room (starving orcs) leads to the sarcophagi room.

If you click on the link at the top of this page and it doesn't show the updated map, please refresh your browser cache. For Windows browsers that takes clicking F5. Not sure about other OS's. (Quick search in Google indicates that the Apple symbol and R does it on a MAC. Control+Shift+R is supposed to work in LINUX. And supposedly for Android there should be three dots in the top-right corner that let you refresh the cache....

What is the door from the starving orcs room to the sarcophagi room? Solid wood, grated, etc.?
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

It is a simple wooden door. No lock but it seems to be stuck (wedged) tight. If it were pushed/kicked hard enough, it might open....
Anthropomorphic Lemming Levels? What are those?

Hi.

I thought I'd lost all of my files but I located backups that I had forgotten about. I've looked them over and can continue if we have interest.

Emails sent. Let me know. Thanks!

Looking forward to it! :)
