Done! Now we just need a critical smite on Humphrey from Alphonse and we'll be off to a good start lol...Heh. Sorry I couldn't deliver, but heavy armor is a b%#+* sometimes.
Haha, yes :D
HUmphrey is Blind, unless he takes time to cut his self free or rip the threads free then he is dazzled once he goes through that

That makes way more sense. I thought dazzled was kinda weak, but blinded is a different story.
We are approaching the 2nd anniversary of this campaign! Thank you so much for staying in, friends. The end game stuff should be a lot of epic fun!
Great game, really good GMing and Game play

Thank you, sir! :D
I like the little bit of foreshadowing for (I assume) Post-Apocthulhu in Humphrey's speech BTW. If we were a more morally ambiguous party it might have been fun to hear him out.

You are most observant, sir! You are correct lol...
Great teamwork, friends! You all took those foes down way quicker than I expected, especially Humphrey. He didn't have much time to prep up to his full potential, and Mwikali spending her hero point to make him fail his save so he was blinded made a big difference early on. Still, he was a CR 19 foe, who should have given you a much tougher fight! Lol...
Well done. Go ahead and level up to 13th level when you get a chance. You can do it without having to rest first this time, as you are pressed for time, so your divine allies make it possible for you to level up immediately upon defeating Humphrey.
cool!
except leveling up is a super pain in the butt!
though it is fun.
Lol, ya, I love and hate leveling up. Usually I prebuild my PCs to whatever level I expect the campaign to reach, which takes up the better part of a few hours on a day off. But then leveling goes fast cause I already have an outline.
When you took down Nero (mythic CR 17) in 4 rounds and then John (CR 13), Phillip (CR 10) and Humphrey (CR 19) in under 5 rounds, I began to wonder if I'm doing something wrong... lol...
But on further analysis, I have to say that you are all just elite players with expert builds and great teamwork. Plus, you are all awesome RPers on top of being powergamers (I mean that as a compliment, not a dig!)...
And you aren't lacking in the necessary gear... and have more time to think than at a table top game... I just will have to try harder, I guess! Well done, all!
The keyword is: minions.
Unless the enemy VASTLY out-CRs us (I'm talking like 10+ levels above us) action economy is going to be king in any encounter. We had 5 people beating down 2 dudes; they pretty much never had a chance.
And if you go the route of a very high level enemy rather than minions, you can often end up with the problem we had with the dragon where most of us could only hit with an attack if we rolled a natural 20, which gets not-fun fast.
I have in mind a more fun and harder challenge in the form of a team of equal level bad guys who actually respect and like each other enough to use good teamwork, unlike the arrogant, selfish, evil bastards you've fought up to this point. Sultan Murad II has a favorite hit squad that have worked together well for a while now...
Boss with Minions is always interesting as you don't know exactly what to focus on or how. Spellcasters will waste spells on bosses that could have finished off minions and vice versa
7th level spells Greater Teleport is a definite one, maybe Greater Scry, or Legendary Proportions?
Waves of Ecstasy is really good at shutting down big melee threats.

okay, level up complete. Johann got two things of note, another +1 on his defensive instinct ability, giving him a solid and easy to remember 30 on his AC; and he got improved vital strike, so his vital strike snake bites do a fun 9d6 dice damage. (that is when you wish you were playing in person so you could roll 9 dice at once)
The only thing you will need a night's rest for is filling used and new spell slots. You get all the other benefits of leveling up immediately, including more HP (but current damage will need to be healed by magic or rest). You get all new class features from leveling otherwise.
Uh.... Johann smiles apologetically and puts the diamond back. Too late?
Yaaayyy!! The Sneaky Snake has returned our shiny ball!!
I remember that ninja. He nearly killed Fox and then we had an epic chase over the rooftops. We had just gotten to level 4 and that was the first time Johann broke into bear form and I used scent to track him down. Then I believe that puss'n boots arrived, who was always my favorite of your NPCs.
Good times lol... I remember the ninja died with a piece of bread in his mouth that he stole while running through a bakery! Lol
He's back to settle the score lol...
That was also the day Fox beat John Dunstable in the organ contest at Saint Peter's and won the organetto of building.
Lord P takes no loot guys, just the cash if there is a share.
Arr the ninja , Lord P wishes he could have placed him in the land of legends
Also GM I would like to give lord P to have the Leadership feat as his 13th level 1.
So that Prince Molack Arrkka Reeeek can be his micro house Butler.
He will also have followers who also just live in around the house in the land of the fey. I want them to stay there and not in the prime to make it feel like there is a real difference between the fay world and the prime. If the PCs ever come to his house I want them to see it fey like. etc.
Prince Molack Arrkka Reeeek may come to the prime but only with your OK.
I can make him or just as happy for you to have him as a NPC.
Would that be ok?

Sounds really cool, go for it!
The Ogon Fox is leveled up!
My fast movement bonus went from +20 to +30, so I now have a movement speed of 60 feet.
I gained a new style strike, picking flying kick.
I gained improved evasion.
And for my feat I picked iron will.
I noticed that my power attack trade is -4/+8. That's a lot of potential damage on a flurry, but I haven't been using it because I don't feel like I have the best accuracy. I really ought to improve my Dexterity beyond 16...
Wait, is there a belt of dexterity +2 or something laying around that I have forgotten to actually add to my stats?
EDIT: Yes, there is! From February 4th:
I'll probably take the belt of dexterity +2. I really should see if I have enough cash to upgrade it, though.
It was on Nero.
Hmmm, interesting twist, Lord P... Well played!lol...
We should work out your history with Grünerraver in that case, either here or thru PMs, if you prefer to RP out the details...
Pms it is boss :)
In terms of the date, it is still the same day that we defeated Nero, whatever that was. We haven't rested since that battle, at least. I know this because Mwikali doesn't have any more heroism's left; she burned them all on that fight.
Yup. I think 3rd September.
Mwikali would love to rest
The hardness, hp, and Break DC of a Large-sized ruby idol of Satan make it nigh indestructible unless you topple it over and beat it apart over the course of hours...
Defacing it might be easier, taking maybe a good hour to chisel off just the face or break off a hand...
The basalt altar could be marred with magical weapons...
What's the Hardness? I wouldn't imagine Ruby is harder than Adamantine.
My main concern was making sure it is Consecrated BEFORE destruction.

Well I could teleport it away or have a Magma Elemental melt it down
I'm looking into create demiplane and wonder if it might hold the solution
The background story with the dragons is actual game play from my Friday night table top game, happening simultaneously with a group of PCs of about the same level as you.
Nice
I hope everyone stays calm and well,sanitizes, and doesn't give the Illuminati the satisfaction of panicking as they cull our gross overpopulation lol...
I'm getting switched to days to help deep clean for a couple of weeks [maybe more] so things will get weird
Hi Guys, ok keep safe, if you can and I know not everyone can self isolate/work from home. Two key things are, keep health, and sleep well.
Sleep helps the body's immune system. Focus in doing that stuff you always wanted to. Write that book, learn the course. This time will pass and things will get better. Be kind
Thanks Panic. I get to clean buildings during this time!
Your doing critical work Mwikali, much more important than you know
Thanks Johnny Panic. Thanks all of you, my friends. Stay well, and as Panic said, this too shall pass. Good time to escape into our mutual fantasy tale, right? ;)
It's going to get better, this campaign, and things in the real world, just keep the faith and take good care of yourselves and your loved ones.
I just realized this is the first time Ihrin has spoken in Romanian this whole time
Just wanted to check in on everyone during this pandemic (which I cant help suspecting was orchestrated by supervillains lol). Everyone well, I hope? I have been taking cold showers for years and regularly train in kung fu and chi gong, and sanitize like a freak as a professional massage therapist and pizza delivery driver, so I am very low risk and healthy as can be for a middle aged dude. Hope you all and all your loved ones stay well and safe.
