Is everyone able to access the Calendar and the Treasure Tracker?
I am.
I can also.
Is anyone else having issues with posts not showing up? I had to refresh my browser 3 times before my gameplay post showed up.
My posts are 50-50. I tend to go back to online campaigns and check the last posted comment to ensure it was me. They seem to take most all the time but I just can't see it until I go back into the particular game.
I think it has to do with caching, maybe. I noticed that I get that a lot with Firefox, but not with Chrome. (Don't use Chrome any more tho due to Google harvesting too much info from it.)
Camil's set to go off in adventure to pursue the Sandpoint Devil...
For clarification, are these sounds coming from directions inside the cave our outside?
From inside the cave
I remember there being a falchion upgrade from the Nualia fight, but it's not on the treasure tracker and I can't find it in the thread (doesn't show up when I search for "falchion"). Does anyone remember the particulars?
It was an expert quality falchion.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem we prepared very well to go hunting for the Sandpoint devil.
@GM - I'm not used to having an animal companion and forgot about him myself. Seeing the token on Roll20 reminded me. Leaving him up top to guard the other animals seems more likely than carrying him down if you are ok with that.
I am so kicking myself for not getting a cold iron weapon.
I am good with leaving him up top.
Looking at the current situation, as a group we have 16 arrows and 2 daggers to fight this thing with and I just missed with an 18. We may want to follow Forrest and hope this thing doesn't chase us.
Runt has a 50/50 chance at hitting and a 50/50 chance of doing any meaningful damage with no cold iron weapon. her size makes borrowing one impractical. But we have a nice large HP pool so we might be able to pull this off if we can get some decent magical support. Runt has scrolls of Divine Favor, Protection from Evil, Wrath, and Magic Weapon that would help and you all are free to snag one and use it on yourself or Runt.
I've been thinking. With a 10d6 breath weapon this thing may be CR 9. if so then we are way out of our league and will need to retreat. We will have to see how much damage it does, but if it on par with the breath weapon we will have to flee.
The printed Sandpoint Devil is CR 8. Perhaps the DM just wants to wipe the party and end the campaign?
Or maybe it's just an optional encounter we chose very badly in taking on and we would choose very wisely in running away from.
I mean, there are a lot of bugbears to eat, right? So what good is it to eat us too? Hopefully it is Lazy Evil.
I haven't lost a party in a long time so I doubt I will lose this one. That of course does not mean you will win the encounter and some casualties may occur. On the other hand, you may win and find the thing's nest.
Yea, 50 HP, 5 DR vs almost all of our attacks, and probably an average of about 20 points of damage to us per round or more if this thing is really a CR 8, and that's being overly optimistic. Could be 100 HP, 40 points of damage per round. I'm not feeling this battle unless you play it a bit on the stupid side like having it attack the summons instead of us. We will have to get really lucky or you be really generous for us to win this one.
I've already suggested we run. The reality is we shouldn't have even started.
You were right. I was dumb enough to charge in.
Uhh 1/4 of Forest's speed is 5 and he only has a +5 skill mod. He'll need like 30 successfull climb checks in a row to get out. Do you just want me to make a shitload of climb checks in a spoiler, GM? Everyone else should go ahead of Forest, at any rate.
Just take your time. No skill check necessary if you do your climb speed per 2 rounds. Leaves you as hanging dinner for an angry devil steed but at least you won't fall.
Looks like most of us are climbing out slowly. Are we able to go at the same time or do we need to wait for someone to reach the rock supported part before the next person can start?
you can climb out together, assuming 5-10 apart. Faster climbers like Runt with spell assistance should probably go first. Looks like Zherxikas will meet you at the top.
yeah... I checked to see if I could pull people with the levitate, but um, yeah, no... and i'm not strong.
You could cast it on someone who is, but the trick is the spell has a 300 pound limit at a 3rd level casting meaning anyone strong enough to carry someone is already over 200 lbs with gear.
What you could do is cast it on a shield or something and make it an elevator.
That sounds ugly. Perhaps it would be better to just levitate some rope and make a nice *safe* loop.
nice suggestion runt... if DM lets me recon a bit, I could cast it on the rope and take myself up, then send it down for others.
I can let you do that. Sounds like a marvelous idea, a worm on a hook. Please proceed.
I don't think I like your analogy, even if that's the way Runt feels.
Trying to make it sound interesting.
That is part of your job :)
@GM - other than the group of trees we tied the animals to there wasn't any shelter on the platter, correct?
Just other copses of trees. But it is not flat either. It is a rolling landscape with plenty of small draws where you could shelter.
DM, can I still use the spell masterwork transformation to transform the expert falchion into a masterwork one?
Yes.
How about a normal falchion into a masterwork? And when it becomes masterwork, does it also become expert? And what is the cost of the transformation?
My guess is that whatever the price difference is, that is the cost.
Cost difference as per the spell
a MW weapon is essentially an improved expert weapon.
The two advantages to this are you don’t have to wait and no chance of failure. Plus, in this case, you keep the original.
I will be on vacation Thus-Mon. I'm pretty good at keeping up while vacationing but there are two 10+ hour drives involved so I may not be able to respond promptly at times.
@GM: I was going to let Camil do the talking since I'm not exactly the diplomatic type. I came along to be the muscle. Do you want me to post something to move things along?
@Lavanor: you may want to. Even bot him with the questions you think are pertinent and we can use his rolls.
Forest also doesn't have much to add in this kinda situation.
Sorry about that. Kids starting school was a bit crazier than expected.
This is a good time for everyone to level up.
sorry I was away all week and forgot to post I was going out of town...
cool: Level 5 alchemist - +6 Hp, +1 spell in formula book (False Life), Investigator Talent: Expanded Inspiration, Feat: Extra Talent (Quick Study), +1 Formula (Alchemical Allocation), I'll update the profile page once I get herolab to cooperate with me again...
