I mean, yeah of course we’re strong. Beyond having a larger-than normal party, we have half of us as some form of buffing caster. Also, level 7 is where power scaling tends to go exponential.
Also, sorry for the absence. It’s been a surprisingly busy week.

Haha yeah, i am trying to add to some encounters to make them more suitable for your size group, and you are still rolling through them without issue!
And no worries! Post whenever! :)

Ooooh! How are we going updating the loot table? You guys are going to be finding a lot of loot in the next few parts of the module, so i would advise someone to jot them down! :)
| Borgol Ashblade |
When we're in prowl mode like this, I think we basically have 2 options --
One, Remy and Borgol go a bit ahead, with Borgol looking for traps.
- Borgol's got a +14 perception (with Adaptation active) and +11 Stealth (which improves if he takes off his shield)
- Remy's got a +10 perception, so if we're looking at something suspicious, she could Aid -- and she matches Borgol for stealth
Plus, if they find trouble, they're probably able to survive long enough for the rest of the group to catch up for support.
Two, one or both of them, plus Flik.
- Flik's both stealthier and better at trapfinding - plus he can disarm magical traps (which Borgol can't) -- plus Borgol auto-succeeds his Aid Another on perception to find traps, if they're both looking.
However -- Flik's squishier, that's another person who could mess up a stealth check, and it leaves just Maddie and Fergus in the "non-scouts" - so it's kind of debatable if it's worth scouting at all then, or if we're just keeping these three at the front of the group in case of traps.
| Remy Tomovici |
I’m good with staying together and keeping the three up front.
| Borgol Ashblade |
Ok, so if that's the case -- GM - any time Flik stops to look for traps - and we're not in the middle of combat - can he just add the +2 from Borgol ? I literally can't fail a check to aid another.
GM Tealk
|
Yep! Sounds like a plan Borgol, i will keep this in mind!
GM Tealk

Gah! I have had such a good run with posting twice a day, but yesterday and today i have been slammed with work! I will update this afternoon when i can!
| Remy Tomovici |
GM, if the fleshdregs in the swarm are Tiny, they can be hurt by weapons. "A swarm made up of Tiny creatures takes half damage from slashing and piercing weapons. A swarm composed of Fine or Diminutive creatures is immune to all weapon damage."
They're still immune to single target spells like magic missile though.

Also: If they can be affected by weapons (because they're tiny), then entering our squares to attack also provokes an AoO. (Technically, it always does, but smaller swarms are immune to weapon damage, so that's usually a moot point)
| Remy Tomovici |
I will be on vacation from 6/13-6/21. During this time, my posting will be limited. Some days I will probably not be able to post at all. I'll catch up on everything again when I return.
GM, please bot me as necessary.
| Borgol Ashblade |
Apologies for the unexpected quiet over the last week - my Dad died last Wednesday.
| Remy Tomovici |
I am sorry for your loss, Borgol. :(
| Maddie Elthis |
I am... sorry to hear that. Take the time that you need.
GM Tealk
|
Borgol, I can't express how sorry I am. Please take as much time as you need.
| Borgol Ashblade |
It's ok, guys. I'm into the "moving on" phase -- he'd been sick for a while, so that takes the edge off. But thanks for the support. ;)
| Remy Tomovici |
Fergus, don't forget your haste attack.
| Maddie Elthis |
How are all of us so terrible at Sense Motive?
GM Tealk
|
Haha, no one has actually rolled it yet. I've just been going with it.
| Remy Tomovici |
Remy has +0
| Maddie Elthis |
It's not even that. The party's modifiers are:
Maddie: -1
Remy: +0
Borgol: +5
Fergus: +2
Flik: +1
We are all just hopeless. Borgol least of all, but still not great.
| Borgol Ashblade |
Sorry, didn't even think to roll. Not used to being the "acute" one. ;)
| Remy Tomovici |
But Remy thinks you are "a cute one." :P
| Flik Gnilleps |
We're just trusting souls!
GM Tealk
|
Sorry for the lack of updates guys! But i really need Maddie to let me know what spell she uses, since it's important. :)
| Maddie Elthis |
If the lights do nothing, Maddie will try to use magic missile.
GM Tealk
|
Quick question, who is holding the runestones? One is with Remy, and the other is with...?
| Remy Tomovici |
I think Remy has both of them? Unless somebody else wanted to hold one.
| Maddie Elthis |
Maddie would certainly want one, but whether or not anyone would actually give her one is another question.
| Remy Tomovici |
Remy would not put such a dangerous artifact in Maddie’s hands, no matter how powerful a wizard she might be. :)
| Borgol Ashblade |
On a camping trip til Wednesday. Feel free to bot Borgol.
GM Tealk
|
Have a good time! :)
| Remy Tomovici |
Flik, suggestion is a language dependent spell. You gain +4 to the save from your well-versed ability which means you should succeed! And even if not you forgot to add the +2 from good hope which makes the save a success, too.
| Flik Gnilleps |
Oh, you are right, I did! That's what I get for posting late at night, for me!
| Remy Tomovici |
GM, I believe Flik previously cast glitterdust on Viralane and the other woman. That would prevent her from going invisible.
| Borgol Ashblade |
I have no problems with having delayed and adding the buffs to my attacks.... you know, just to make it easier on the GM.
Also - side note, I'd activated my Iron Will adaptation upon the sight of Viralane. Of course, that still only gets me to 18 and still confused, but I thought I'd mention it. :)
GM Tealk
|
Update tomorrow. :)
| Borgol Ashblade |
I've always assumed that since he learned to do it, Borgol's been casting light on a coin or pebble - giving him light but also the ability to close his hand around it and make it stop when he needs to sneak.
I think I said he was doing that back when we went into the well. ;)
| Maddie Elthis |
Sorry for the lack of posts- college move-in kept me surprisingly busy, between moving in myself and helping my friends, I didn’t even back to my room until after midnight yesterday.
Anyway, I should be back to really regular posting as soon as things settle down.
| Flik Gnilleps |
Sorry, crushed by work yesterday. I'm back on the ball!
GM Tealk
|
It's all okay friends! Take care of yourselves, real life should always be the priority!
| Remy Tomovici |
I will be on a staycation from work from Wednesday 8/26 until Monday 8/31. During this time, my posts will be significantly less frequent, especially on the weekend, as I am celebrating my birthday!
GM, please bot me as necessary.
GM Tealk
|
Alrighty - no worries! Enjoy yourself, and have a wonderful birthday! :)
| Flik Gnilleps |
Rough day. I'll post tomorrow!
| Borgol Ashblade |
Just a small thing, I've been holding off on Borgol making suggestions about the sarcophogi due to his unresolved drinking from the well.
| Maddie Elthis |
So just when things finally settled down enough for me to regularly check my campaigns, my computer broke.
I should get it back Monday, but I probably won’t really be around until then. It’s like I’m destined to not keep up with my PBPs....

I am so sorry! I have totally missed this part. Been so distracted signing up to all these Gameday IX games, i got lost!

So just when things finally settled down enough for me to regularly check my campaigns, my computer broke.
I know the feeling, my PC broke down 3 months ago and i had to find some parts quickly, because a) lock down was happening where i lived and b) i had to work from home the following weeks, and more importantly c) PbP to keep up with!
