single ones.
and pretty big ones at that.
I will try to get a map together.
May get tomorrow though.
So, I threw together a map and added an edit-link to the campaign description.
Please let me know if it works for everyone.
If you're moving, please draw your path (I recommend the free-hand scribble function) so that we can keep track of movement in-between rounds.
If you're using AoE abilities, feel free to draw in fitting shapes. Map is 5ft/square.
Works well for me! Thank you!
The amount of pain the group can dish out is ... interesting.
Good thing Quercus can fill the role of tank-grappler and buff-machine, rather than pure-DPS or I would start to worry :-)
Oops, I cheated with Gosor's last attack, but I think it missed anyhow, so we're probably fine. I think that Ethana probably took out the spider with her attacks though so good! We're making progress!
Does anyone want to try to catch up with that injured retreating spider and interrogate it? I'm entangled, so I probably can't (based just on keeping up with it.) They're also random encounter monsters so I don't expect that they'd give any useful information, but I'll toss the idea out there anyhow.
I doubt they can talk, unless we have a way to speak with vermin.
Fyi that just was a cr12 encounter.
You managed to not have anyone fall for their nasty poison and even evaded a surprise round due to a nat 20 on Astrapios' perception, so that played out in your favour.
...
Not bad.
Good rolls helped. That could easily have gone a lot worse.
In other news, I got a picture of Ktinos! That's not how I picture his club, but the rest of the picture is pretty much how I see him.
Lots of work, trying to catch up on my games.
May get tomorrow until I get done with this round.
Cheers
Apologies for my low Will save, but... there's a reason Ktinos wasn't able to resist getting possessed by a bunch of angry monster spirits. :D
Heh, yeah, I rolled for it and was like, ehh, another bad monster roll and was about to move on, when I looked at your header and was like ... "Ohhh".
And I agree, it is very fitting xD
Indeed. :D I debated taking Iron Will or something... but then realized how well it fit with his backstory to have a low Will save.
Just a note- Ethana will generally block with her shield anything that attacks her- it’s a +4 bonus to AC, but takes an AoO, so it’s not permanent (yet) and can be exhausted.
I don’t know if that would make an impact on if the spider hit or not.
No. Barely.
But thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
@Lady Z, Even if mechanically that's feasible, I'd make sure that Ktinos is up for others interacting with his beasts at this point. It's really early in his character's path to have anyone else interacting with them given that they're his big thing.
Arr I see, just read his back ground. Cool lIf its an internal conversation then its not really Telepathy, So it dose not count GM :)
Ohhhh, this might get funny if both parties are ready to go down that route.
Just imagine how exhausting it mus be to have FOUR voices in your head bickering back and forth and then a FIFTH one joins in and tries to establish superiority over the other four immediately. *poor kitty*
Yeah, it's not really a telepathic conversation. I *am* using his bad habit of speaking to them out loud to start hinting to the other characters that there's something going on. He definitely doesn't know you guys well enough yet to reveal that he has four angry, civilization-hating monsters trapped in him. :D
Fun idea, though.
@Kosor: I think the only one capable of healing is Astrapios with LayOnHands.
Makes we wonder whether I should maybe rework Quercus into a healadin-life-oracle, mhhh...
@Everyone: Please make sure that your headers are up-to-date, reflecting any active buffs you may have.
Stat bar updated, buff breakdown in new post. I also didn't use a single spell slot above 2nd. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Ktinos is down fourteen HP, if you've got a spare lay on hands.
I think Ktinos's header is up to date.
Got a heads-up that I'll loose one of my long-term players in my other campaign and searching for a new one.
Expect me to be a bit slower at posting than before until settling that one.
@Astrapios: In what direction are you searching? Right/Left/Up/Down? What will you do if you find a cave/corridor? Peek in? Get back and report the location?
what's your campaign about? ;)
Its not pathfinder.
Warhammer 40k game.
'Welcome to the Guard'.
Just have a look in my alias if you are potentially interested.
Still in thje process of contacting old players who had to leave due to RL-circumstances I promised to give a heads-up in case a place is getting free though, so no 'open' recruitment is going on in the moment.
love war hammer 40k is it bases on Cadia
Seen that comic about a munch of guards men in a BainBlade
stopped getting notifications for this.
Will look into moving us forward tomorrow.
The warlock vigilante attacks with mystic bolts as though they were light one-handed weapons
Technically I am using them as ranged weapons, but I have point blank master so I can use ranged weapons at no penalty in melee.
Lucky me, bolts are SU not SP
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with point-blank lightning strikes, eh? ;-)
FYI
This is a recruitment to my 4x-Strategy Warhammer game.
Not the one I was speaking before and on a total different scale&style than most games, but a thing I'd wanted to run for quite some time but hesitated to attempt before.
Got my wits and a bunch of great players from my other Warhammer game together and currently looking for one or at most two additional players.
You're welcome to have a look at it.
having a training this day & tomorrow.
Update will probably come friday if I can make it, otherwise it will be monday.
Yeah, my wife and I got very sick.
It is better now and I am back to work, having a bit of catch-up to do.
Will see to update in the next two days.
Sorry to hear you've been sick! Our house have been plague central this year and I don't wish it on anyone else. Hopefully you're feeling better, but don't push yourself to get to this game. Make sure you get healthy first!
There are several nasty poisons/illnesses which require you to pass two (or even more) checks IN A ROW to stop it (so you always get to enjoy some effects).
In this case, it really is a two-fold thing.
The first throw is against the immediate effects of the poison (getting weakened and distracted) and the second thing is a permanent curse with 'fun' RP implications.
Btw for those poisoned: the first effect wears off after a minute.
Okay people, I just the intel that I have a major project coming, starting about two weeks in our collective future.
I'd like to get my GM-part mostly done by then for my time will likely get quite limited starting then for at least two months of time.
So, lets pick up a bit of speed until then, alright?
Yeah, once I am typing a long post in the browser and ... yup ... it was nomnomed by the forum gobgobs -.-
Recovering the form brought me to the start page...
Well, I just have to type it all up again, eh :-/
RE: good news, my project was delayed for another two weeks, so maybe we'll manage to wrap this up neatly after all :-)
Ouch! I always hate that.
Got a fair coming tomorrow, so no post there.
@all: I pm-ed Gosor, maybe he just do no longer get updates for the campaign.
Is someone willing to play him for the remainder of the boss-fight?
It is a demanding fight and I am severely slowed down if I have to bot him in a somewhat appropriate way in addition to everything else going on.
I have honestly no idea, what his char can do :)
I don't think my shield takes damage from the attack, honestly. Unless it was specifically targeting the shield, my talent basically just lets me use my shield to block magical attacks as well as physical ones. I mean, if that's your ruling, I can live with that, but it would make the ability far less useful.
Not firm on the ruling, just going with 'best-guess' here, so we can discuss it together.
The thing is, the lightning spell calls out to 'damages objects in its path', even melting (most) metal.
Given, most energy damage is halved before hardness and HP (I initially did not go with that, as I thought the spell would be a case of situational change) but I can see going without that (which would reduce damage to 8 I think).
If not for that paragraph in the spell, I'd not bothered actually.
E.g. I'd not do that for a regular fireball.
Ktinos is complicated. XD
So, my new project at work is starting tomorrow/at Monday.
We'll see how much or whether at all that will affect my post timing.
is this dying before we finish the final boss?
I don't plan to, but work is getting more intense on my end with a new project going and it seems we lost Gosor for good.
Currently looking to advance...
I got a cool image of Ktinos transforming. :)
@Ktinos: Awesome :-)
@All: I hope I will get the update out before the site maintenance.
If not, rest assured that it will be coming soon after the site gets back up properly.
Map updated. Thanks for the reminder.
Sorry for being slow.
Hoped to be done with the mission before my project started ...
Play-by-post games always take longer than you think they will. XD
Waiting to see what Ethana's action does before acting.
