Will bot him if he doesn't post by this afternoon.
I think the closest character I can think that matches Sveng's personality is Long Feng. Neat.
Ah, Piri brings up an interesting point. Murder. Reminds me of a certain section in an evil AP when the party is supposed to burn a town to ground, and nothing technically stops them from looting every magical item that could potentially be for sale.
Sorry for the delay on my end, should be back to normal tomorrow.
Sold
Silver Raven Figurine of Wondrous Power (3800gp) (normally would sell for 1900gp)
Bought
Cloak of Resistance +1 (1000gp)
Bracers of Armor +1 (1000gp)
Potion of Remove Disease (750gp)
Potion of Cure Light Wounds (50gp)
Flask of Acid x6 (60gp)
Alchemist's Fire x3 (60gp)
Antiplague x3 (150gp)
Tanglefoot Bag x2 (100gp)
Thunderstone x2 (60gp)
Total: 3230gp
Even if we just traded for the cloak and bracers that would have been about fair compared to selling and buying. We made out of this great, and he gains about 570gp worth of gold as well.
So, loot distribution. I think the bracers of armor should go to Sydney since he's the only one who doesn't wear armor. Not sure on the cloak of resistance since that's helpful to everybody. Perhaps a frontliner? Maybe Piri since he's the trap disabler?
I think Sveng should hold onto the remove disease potion since he has the highest untrained heal check. The cure potion should go to a frontliner. Hazel would be my guess. As for the rest of the alchemical items, I think the lion's share should go to Piri since he has the dex to make good use of them, and a few other to backline support characters in case all their g+$%+$n spells don't work they have a use for them, like Sveng and Valeria. My two coppers anyways.
I agree with all that. Thanks for doing the research
The benefits of the barter system over selling/buying. Too bad more NPCs don't barter. :D
I think the only question is the cloak of resistance than, which is something that would benefit everybody.
I will keep my hands off it. As a backliner I shouldn't be making as many saves. I vote it either goes to Hargus of Hazel as frontliners, or to Piri as the trap disarmer.
I would be happy to accept it or Hargus or Hazel.
Sydney and Hazel are the only two who don't have at least a +1 in all of their saving throws, so Hazel should get it as a frontliner and being tied for the lowest saving throw.
Also, her low saving throw is Will, and we don't want her getting dominated.
I am always down to keep the bruisers from getting dominated.
Let's roll for that cloak and stop guilting each other over it! lol!
Roll 1d20 --> highest one wins!
I can do a linguistic check, but I don't have my char sheet w/me, I think I'm +8, but is it necessary since Valeria has done it? If it would help, could you please bot it for me, GM. Thanks
I lose!
Seriously, I would prefer a frontline, but happy to take the bracers.
Meanwhile, I am afraid this week just got away from me with so much to do as I will be travelling until March 25. I don't plan to have much time or access during, so please feel free to bot Sydney as you see fit. Once I am back, life should balance much more than it has been.
Sveng intentionally botched initiative since we're up against yet another mindless creature.
I swear I'm more useful than this! :P
Will give Hazel until around noon before I move us forward botting her and Sydney.
Woah, from what I understand Valeria may take the splash damage but shouldn't be taking the full effect of the alchemists fire. If I'm wrong Sveng would definitely not do that.
OOC Due to the nature of the creature, while she is grappled she takes half damage (not full) and the creature takes the other half. Sveng wouldn't know that before throwing the alchemist fire IC so I think it makes sense seeing how damaging it was when Val did it.
I swear Sveng isn't a dick, I actually thought you'd just take the 1 splash damage.
Well crap. Would she catch on fire too?
Dak, my knowledge check earlier of the scroll was highly successful, would I be able to tell Sveng some very important information about it?
Anything that was in the spoilers that your knowledge check beat you could tell him.
*facepalm* How did I miss the knowledge check?
I hope you don't mind me peeking since Piri beat the DCs.
Ah, it looks like that information wasn't present in the spoilers anyways. Unfortunate.
Hi GM Dak, I'm assuming we're dealing with a creature that has the grab ability here? if so:
From Grab:
"The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself."
From Grappled:
"Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity."
--> Therefore, since it made an AoO while grappling Val, would it be safe to assume it took the -20 to grapple in order to not gain the grappled condition on itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated- thanks!
PS: creatures with 'Grab' ability at most tables commonly drop their prey as a free action on their turn in order to lose the said grappled condition without taking the minus 20... is this what just happened or are we dealing with continuous grapple with the -20 included? thanks!
Ah missed the part on the no AoO, so will ignore that. No, it is grappling you, trying to suffocate you to death.
Thought so. In that case it's at -20 to the grapple to others trying to grapple it.
What's the status now? Hargus seems to have initiated a grapple on it.
Hargus currently has it grappled.
I'm going to be traveling this weekend. I'll have my phone, but may be unable to post. Please bot me if necessary.
Just a quick note I am posting to all my games. It is Spring Break week so I get the week off. As such, I won't be around the PC as often as I am usually. Posting may be slowed a bit, but will do my best to get in at least one post a day.
Someone in one of my other games brought this to my attention and it is a huge help, so I thought I would spread the word to any interested.
For those of you utilizing Chrome on a PC to check the boards and keep up with your games there is an extension to Chrome that adds a lot of great functionality. Some of the key things I like are better organization of your campaign page, highlighting of new posts, setting different pictures for people's avatars, and most importantly setting an alias per each campaign to avoid the constant issue of posting under the wrong alias.
This is the extension Paizo Campaign Tools. Hope it helps someone else like it has for me!
Or keep them for ourselves since there is no reward. Sveng smiles pleasantly and nods along with Hargus.
I'm going to point out that although Eregos would absolutely have no problem with that, Hargus is the Eregos was supposed to be, so he would want to return them. Should prove to be quite the interesting RP encounter when we get there.

This confuses me. It must be some kind of vigilante shennanigan! ;)
Pretty much, yeah, although I realize that the midsection is supposed to say, "Hargus is the what Eregos was supposed to be", which also might contribute to the confusion.
Oh dear.
While attempting to edit the map I somehow got my token stuck and then deleted it. I'm not sure how to get it back.
Sveng will cast guidance on everybody before entering. The bonus lasts for 1 minute. He will begin with the backliners and make sure he ends with Hazel and Hargus so they have the longest duration left on the spell.
Guidance gives us +1 to any skill check?
The creature gets a +1 competence bonus on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. It must choose to use the bonus before making the roll to which it applies.
It lasts for 1 minute or until discharged. Since everything in this dungeon is immune to all of Sveng's abilities, I don't feel bad about spamming this.
Added you back Sveng, but you'll need to re-add your health/AC
Did we pick up Alchemist's fire flasks and distribute them? I have to make my char sheet in .pdf so it is portable and I cannot continually modify it.
Yes we talked about the distribution earlier. I believe Piri got the lion's share of them.
Remember that everybody should have bless active for the beginning of this fight!

@Everyone, I am planning on bringing in an additional player. My 3rd table for War for the Crown fizzled out with only two people posting consistently. It didn't make a lot of sense to basically recruit a whole new team but I didn't want to punish the consistent players by just dropping the game, so I split them up and will add 1 to each of my remaining tables. I know this puts us up to 7, so I will have to do a little extra work to keep things challenging, but its my hope they will only help to enhance the current game.
If anyone has concerns feel free to shoot me a PM. Otherwise, I will have the new player introduce themselves shortly. As far as their inclusion it will still be a little bit until we get to a part where it makes sense, but that shouldn't be too far off.
I'm good with them popping in now and finish off these rats without me getting even more wounded. :)
Funny, someone at the other table said something similar. However, no one is coming to save you...
I believe in you all though. You've got this!
Don't worry, Sveng is essentially dead weight in combat so the extra player shouldn't be a problem :)
Sounds fine to me. A little extra combat oomph can't hurt things right now.
No complaints here. An extra player sounds good to me.

By the gods it feels good to fighting something I'm good against.

SVENGORBER replying to doubting members of the party...
My god I'm at work and I snorted so loud that my coworker asked if I was ok.

Hey all, I'll be joining you eventually. Until then, well, I hope the rats don't eat you. :D
On the topic of Sveng and his holy symbol and checks.We should probably discuss this among the group.
The question I would have is, would anyone, in the heat of combat, be trying to watch Sveng closely enough to try and see what his holy symbol was?
If not, then it is a mute point. If so, then I would say it would be a Perception check from the person looking vs a Sleight of Hand from Sveng. Then obviously a Know. Religion to ID what it was.
Feel free to discuss and then we can roll it out if needed.
