For anyone who might still want to utilize the free rebuild Boon, it was announced in this week's blog that it'll start having a cost in a couple weeks.

If you haven't already, be sure to actually "purchase" it (for 0 AcP) through the Boons tab on your Organized Play account.

Success on lvl 4 task is 7 sp/day = so 32 sp total.

56?

Umm...yeah that one. lol.

This past week has been long. Thanks for the correction!

Alright, so, the next thing in line is a quest, involving everyone's favourite tribe of sewer dragons, which is a 1-4.

Dranald should be able to join us for that one, but the scenario after that is a 5-8...

Thank you! I just told Dranald he can join again. He's happy.

I know that the next scenario will be a 5-8 and that Dranald won't be able to join. The next ones announced will be good for him anyway.

This scenario leveled Hannah to 5, so Gruvok is next in line for any 1-4s. He just hit Level 3.

Free Spells Items: lesser antidote, scroll of heal (2nd level)

Oops. Quest. So Earn Income Crit is just 6 sp.

QUESTION:

I created a thread over in the Rules Questions Forum, but it didn't get much attention.

If I cast acidic burst while mounted, does the effect emanate outward from the borders of my Mount's space?

Unfortunately I think I'll be sitting this quest out, I want to completely rebuild Jasariel before leveling her up and I've been too busy to do that recently. I'll be back in for the subsequent scenario though, and the new Jasariel will be finished in time for whatever's after that.

Since she's currently our only fighter, want to just use a Pregen in the meantime?

Otherwise I can play a barbarian lvl 2.

If you're fine with that ^_^

State imagined before getting the chronicle.

Well that's not what I figured out, but if that can help, I'm ok.

I can also play a monk lvl 2 if you prefer.

It's just that right now we have a Cleric, a Sorcerer, and an Alchemist.

I'm not worried about us dealing damage or healing, but none of us could really tank.

Alright, chronicles for the last one have been sent out.

@Gruvok: To answer your question - I don't see clear guidance, but, whilst mounted, you count as being in each of your mount's four squares, and it is a 5' emanation centred on you...

...so it would (effectively) be four overlapping 5' emanations, essentially making it a 5' emanation centred on a large template... but with the crucial difference that it would *also* affect your mount.

So, for non-damaging spells (say, Bless), it is purely beneficial, but for damaging spells, it has a down-side...

Re: Party make-up, I guess you just need to nuke everything before it has a chance to hurt you ;-)

Forgot this guy hit level 2. Updating him quickly before tagging in.

Alternatively, I could bring a level 1 melee character.

Actually you guys are flying through this. I'll take my time deciding how I want this guy to level to 2 and sit this quest out.

I do wish to jump back in on your next scenario though. :-)

Just to be clear: You guys have seen *no* evidence that these things have AoOs, so you don't have to Step to get away...

They DO hit hard, though...

Yah :-/

Basically all they are is a beat-stick attached to a bucket of hit points...

Disconcerting that Half-orcs don't have ferocity in this edition.

Disconcerting that Half-orcs don't have ferocity in this edition.

They do, but it’s a feat and doesn’t even appear to be that good. I could see it be used to stay up, then the enemy just attacks again and takes you down anyway.

We have to try to hit and retreat each round, to avoid they can get multiple attacks.

Then we can retreat again in the smaller passage. So only one of them can attack.

Yes, well, they are (effectively) Int 6, and prefer to be in sewerage, so I felt it reasonably to assume that they would prefer to *stay* in it, as a first reaction...

...but now that one of them has asked the other to make space, I figure that is grounds to do so.

Yay for monsters with sub-human intelligence; that way I don't have to play them with human-level squad tactics :-P

Alright, chronicle have been sent out :-)

So... yeah... this guy is supposed to 'fool' you, and then hilariously sabotage your mission along the way... but then they go ahead and set the DCs low enough that multiple party members have a better than 50% chance of seeing through the ruse, which is kind of shooting yourself in the foot, from a design perspective :-P

I must admit, I do find it worrying that the scenario writer has good-aligned creatures force-attacking the party (with no way to talk them down), simply because you fail some skill checks, and (from their perspective) you are consequently basically being viewed as a destabilising organic virus, which needs to be eliminated for the greater good...

Happy Father's Day, Dran'Thor!

(and anyone else it applies to as well)
