Okay. Okay. I've got the PDF at work now. I'll also be changing my note taking system. I sure hope that gets me back on track, here.

Hi all! I had an extended weekend trip outside of cell service, and forgot to notify my games before I left. I'm back now, and will be checking in and posting in all of my games hopefully tonight but definitely by tomorrow (Wed). Thanks for any botting you've done, and sorry for my unexpected absence!

Hey all, I'm leaving for a camping trip tomorrow (Thursday) morning and won't be back until Sunday night. Probably can't update until Monday. Happy Independence Day to everyone.

Just wanted to say that your lines for Tsghet are so spot on "I am a cleric of Iomedae" that I am impressed! He doesn't say much, but that's part of it too (at least how I envision such a cleric)! All business and righteousness, I love it!

Hah! Thanks! To be fair, his archetype makes it pretty clear how he sees the world and how he thinks he's supposed to act within it. And it gives me less decision fatigue when writing posts, which is always nice.

I just started a new job today. Until the training and acclimation settle down, my posting will be somewhat erratic, probably shifting from mornings to evenings (EDT) until I have a better feel for things.

Hey all. I've got a really bad headache today. Probably won't be able to update today.

Heads up - I will be at a convention Friday through Sunday. As the sun doesn’t set up here in the summer, neither do the games stop. I will post when possible, but at a slower rate than usual. Please don’t hesitate to bot me after 24 hours if I haven’t posted.

Torrak secretly took Ninja levels, y'all weren't supposed to find out until later! :P

GM, how deep is the hole? I want to smack the spider without having to drop down. If I do drop down, it will be right on top of the spider (spider wrasslin!).


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

Hole is only 10 feet deep. You can reach it with the reach weapon.

Sorry guys. Woke up feeling pretty sick end of last week. Hopefully I'll start to feel better soon.

I say the door Torrak is standing by, once Merritt gives it a look over!

GM and Merritt: Would y'all be ok with an SOP of taking 10 or 20 to search for traps before we do anything like open a door or go anywhere new? I think it might help us keep the pace up.


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

I'd be alright with it. Just note that it takes a bit of time to move around if that's the case. Takin 10 takes a round. Takin 20 takes 2 minutes.

I've been posting Merritt's take 10 and 20 numbers with my posts for a while now; I definitely agree that using those as an SOP for doors/movement is a great idea to keep the pace up in PbP.

Note that heightened awareness won't always be up, so @GM, you'd need to pay a little attention to whether that bonus to Perception needs to be included.


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

Can do!

Hey. I'll be moving this week, so my posting will be spotty. Sorry in advance.

Hey all, I'm going to be on a backpacking trip in the Grand Tetons from 8/21 (tomorrow) through 8/25. I won't be able to post again after today until Monday 8/26.

Moving is ALMOST done. Expect a post by tomorrow evening.

I'm on the way to a music festival in the morning; I'll be away for the entire weekend, returning Monday or Tuesday, and I won't have internet access. Please bot me!


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

Sorry all. Wife's been pushing me to unpack a bunch, so most of my free time has been taken this last week.


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

Alright. We've gotta be completely out of my old place by Tuesday, and I just revived a dead laptop to help me be able to post. The emptiness is almost done. Everybody still around?

Zelphar, if you have a flask of acid, you can use it as an alchemical power component for acid splash to make the spell deal +1 damage. Used this way, it's a focus, so it's not even consumed!

Yeah, I bought a flask of acid just for that. I haven't had the actions available to draw it and move into range yet though. Maybe I should just always walk around with it in my hand.

If you had a prehensile tail, you could retrieve it with a swift action.

I mean, who doesn't have a prehensile tail?!?

Hey y'all, it's my birthday today AND I have to work late because of some tight deadlines. I've got plans after work (when I can actually leave) so what I'm getting at is: I won't be able to make time to post today. I apologize, and I'll post tomorrow for sure.

Thanks for the botting (sorry it wasn't very helpful) and the birthday wishes! I gotta keep my posts short and sweet this week because I'm flying out of town Thursday night for the weekend and I have a big project at work I have to have done before I leave. And I've got things going on every night after work this week as well.

I'll try to post Thursday day sometime (and Wednesday if applicable), then I probably won't post again until Monday.

Hey all!

Due to the fact that I've got 7 irl games in 4 days starting Friday (5 of those in 2 days at a convention), I likely won't have the mental strength to post this upcoming Friday-Monday. I'll do my best but I make no promises.

Sorry, I'm not sure what's happening. Have we cleared all the webs out, and are leaving to the south, or are there still webs to burn away in this room?


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

I'm a bit confused as well. Do you guys want to clear out all the webs or just enough to get to the south door?

Torrak was thinking enough to get to the door.

Merritt is more inclined to clear all the webs, just in case there's another spider hiding away in here. But using his bombs/alchemist's fire to do it is going to take a lot of consumables, even if he gets 9 squares with every hit.

We’ve also got torches. It’ll take longer, but I would imagine the fire would spread fairly nicely without too much effort on our part.

No problem with taking the time to torch it up! Torrak has 10 torches and a flint and steel. Grab some fire and let's let this place up!

I'm heading out of town for the weekend; I should be able to carve out some screen time to post, but I can't guarantee it. Returning late Monday, which is a long driving day with no posts for sure.


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

Thanks for letting us know! Hope you enjoy your trip!


Hell's Vengeance - Slides

Alright. We're moving on to the next floor, then! As I get that ready, feel free to level up your characters. From the next chronicle sheet, you all get:

4 prestige
3 xp
1,536gp
The ability to buy another piece of land in Land Rush
Trap Intuition:
Traversing the trap-laden halls of the cellars, you found that even the slightest movement can cause dangerous consequences, but with a sharp eye and quick feet, you can avoid being caught in a trap. When you attempt a Reflex save to avoid a trap but before you know whether you failed, you can use this boon to reroll the save with a bonus equal to one-half your character level (rounded down). You must use the reroll result, even if it is lower. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
And access to the following:
horn of fog (2,000 gp)
potion of cure moderate wounds (300 gp)
scroll of fireball (375 gp)
scroll of fly (375 gp)
belt of mighty constitution +2 (4,000 gp)
silversheen (250 gp)
spire transport token (600 gp, limit 1; allows a PC to use the Emerald Spire’s transport function to reach the surface).

I should be able to get those Chronicles out and the map set up tomorrow. Feel free to roleplay until then, and let me know when you guys have your level ups complete.

Also, keep in mind that a few of the floors of the spire need you to slow track to keep the character within the suggested levels of the spire. Your first one comes not at the next level, but the 4th one. Just keep that in mind as you plan your characters.

Suggested levels of the spire to slow track:
4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, & 15.

I also have one last request: Do your best to not look at the names of some of the upcoming levels of the spire. It's a much more interesting experience if you go in blind.

That is all.
