GM BR is super duper reliable.

Will surely return as soon as RL in less hectic.


Sorry everyone, just entered finals this Monday. Now I'm finally done with the hardest ones, so I'll be sure to check 2 to 3 times a day. Sorry for the inconvenience!

No map was provided for Bega's sketch of The Temple, given it's a less likely scenario, so had to whip out the old photoshop and do it meself. Hope you guys like Bega's doodles!

With alchemists fire, it burns both on the attack round and the following round so someone (Andy?) can keep it burning while we go toe to toe.
Anyone able to get fire resistance? I know there’s fire ward gel. It only needs to be enough to soak up splash damage.

Not that we have to start that way, but we should be ready for the troll.

Is there a sneaky way in which we could lock the pets in their enclosures? Sovereign Glue in locks and hinges is incredibly expensive but there are more cost effective methods: warp wood? Hold portal?

Or maybe we could poison the pets?

We could gather information in Kaer Maga to find out more about the named foes?

GM did you report S01-51 The City of Strangers, Part I - The Shadow Gambit to OSP reporting system?

Because I contacted VOs (I had some problems with other games), and there was no report for your game.


Was sure I did, but seems it didn't go through (should have double-checked, sorry). It is now done! Apologies for any inconveniences.

If Ignaru survives the trolls next attack, he will fallback with the group..trying to give Bega a chance first.

Can I remind everyone that stabilise has a range of 45’ for a 4th level caster.


Male Human (Shoanti) Bloodrager 7 | HP 74| AC 20/13/19 | Fort+9 Ref+5 Will+6 | Initiative +1; Perception +10

This damage re-calibration seems a bit harsh. I think everyone’s tactics would have been different if we had realised we were carrying damage.
This is the kind of slip that happens in pbp.
As the GM also missed this for several rounds of combat, might it be more reasonable to allow a retcon of healing between the market and here.
We can roll in this thread and dock the charges from our wands.

Bruno? What do you think?

I agree with Crowe about retconning the between combat healing. Its a logical thing that we'd do with a gap between combats but gets tricky to coordinate in PbB for some reason.

I also did want to mention that most of my damage in melee comes from hidden strike, which works pretty much the same as sneak attack. If you can help me with getting into flanking position on an enemy it would be greatly appreciated.


It's a fair statement - I'll allow it for Crowe and Dana, but I believe Ignaru was aware of his current hp (he did subtract it from the PbP stats right after the fight).
I'll heal you on the stat block, but please roll here and subtract your consumables accordingly.

I know people hate a rule lawyer, but grease is also not on the psychic spell list. There are plenty of other good spells though, like command, ear-piercing scream, or hideous laughter. They do also get glue seal, which is basically the opposite of grease, but only one 5 foot square.


I'll change Grease for Glue Seal for now, just for the sake of keeping the game in the legal side of rules, and to speed up the fight.

Holy Giant scorpion of distraction, Batman!

If the troll kills Crowe (likely) then it is a troll and a scorpion against 4 PCs.

If the troll dies then Ignaru can be revived and we dog-pile the scorpion.

Crowe needs healing or he will fall to a decent round from the troll.

Yeah, that's why I was saying we should lead the troll down the hallway, instead of you taking it on solo. Being enlarged also knocks your AC down by 2, making it much more likely it hits with both those claws and gets the rend off.


Male Human (Shoanti) Bloodrager 7 | HP 74| AC 20/13/19 | Fort+9 Ref+5 Will+6 | Initiative +1; Perception +10

Meat shield though. If it can only hit Crowe then, with healers, the troll can’t win.

The troll can out tank Crowe all day, every day. By keeping me and Dragall out of the fight, you may have doomed us all.

We'll see, maybe we'll make it out of this. the troll can't have too many more hps left. I would recommend moving after you attack though. It can't 5 foot step out of that grease and it would be better to face an attack of opportunity than it's full attack, which includes a rend if both claws hit.


I don't know if anyone saw my most recent post before I edited it, but just in case: I resolved the scorpion's full attack against Dragall, and hit twice and got a crit on the sting! Then I remembered Dana's entangle spell, which gives him a -2 to all attacks!

Long story short, missing in the first one meant no grapple check, all d20 rolls moved around, and that only resulted in one hit and no crit! Hooray for Glue Seal!

Fortuitous indeed! Giant scorpions are quite deadly in and of themselves.

That's some good luck.

I'm glad we had some inside information and went stealthy, this fight could be horrendous!


Wrapping this up! Will need Day Job checks for those who want them included in their Chronicle Sheets.

Thank you for GMing and thank you everybody. Wow, I was really afraid that was going to turn into a TPK. Trolls are really scary for their CR. 3 attacks plus rend can kill most characters at this level.


Thanks everybody! It was a blast being your GM - from that goblin ambush in the Halflight Path up to taking down Kormiggon himself! You're all great players, and I thank you for letting this newbie be your GM (this is my second time GMing).

My first few times (all IRL) were... chaotic.
