TOZ's Passing the Torch (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

Gotcha - thanks everyone.

So it sounds like it's reasonable for Yuri to wait until Kasimir (hopefully) gets her back within the area of Invis Purge then airwalk to her and have a stab? (I could also activate my own See Invis, but I hate to use my standard action with it if Kasimir will hopefully reveal her). If so, Yuri will delay until after Kasimir acts.

I suspect there will be a good portion of the party doing exactly that.

Actually Hunter's Blessing is still active but Hide From Undead is gone now as we have attacked someone in combat.

Edit - Hide from Undead is a good spell to have up. It could have saved our bacon against incorporeal undead or the like.

Yep, but in our current situation I don't think Hunter's Blessing is doing anything, correct?

A better precaution would have been to toss myself a fire resist evolution. =)

I'm about to be on fire!

@Hamish - Not to worry. Fly up to the roof and I will put out the fire and heal your character or run around on fire if you prefer. Your choice. :)

@Yuri - Outside the temple it will work. It is not hugely relevant at this point.

That's far too sensible for something Hamish would do! (the first part... the 2nd part, sounds more like him. =))

Well I did think it would be funny to see your character running around on fire but I doubt what will happen in game will be as amusing as the mental image of your butt catching on fire and you running around trying to put it out.

Compared to the Destruction spell Fire storm is simply a nuisance effect. Any spell that require a true resurrection is no joke. Now that was actually scary.

She also had a really good setup for Overwhelming Presence with two minions close enough to CdG.

I guess they figure that they are ending the game so they might as well try to kill off the PCs in an epic battle.

Well we are going to prove them wrong and play these characters for years to come in various AP. So there. :)

Edit - My Bard is actually passing on Overwhelming Presence as hs much prefers Mass Cacophonous Call. He turns his nose up at the Cleric's poor 9th level spell choice. He prefers to make her dance if she likes to or not. But I do get the tactical implications here in this battle. Nice. :)

My resist fire spell has expired.

I believe we stand at a grand total of one failed save in this battle.

Kasimir, were you able to draw the silence scroll as a swift action last round? If not, it's a standard action to complete a full round action started the turn before.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I have a spring-loaded wrist sheath, and absolutely no notes on what's in it.

What would you say to a 20% chance it's the thing I want?

Can you tell I play this character once a year? Apologies for being rusty on the details.

Sounds fair! You are welcome to roll it, or I can.

Asmodeus show favor to your servant!

Amending post now.

@Grandmaster TOZ - Honestly I have no idea how it is possible that Hamish passed Fire Storm with a 24. But if you say he passed then he passed.

@Kasimir - Since you have a move action left can you at least find her with your invisibility purge?

Wait, I'm not on fire? Dangit, I have to stop prepping posts ahead of time...
I had this whole 'Black Beard the pirate, with his hair on fire thing' worked up.

Guess I shouldn't complain too loudly.

@Kasimir - I like the effect of the scroll burning up. That is nice.
I saw your post disregard my comment.

@Hamish - To be fair 30 points of fire damage could be enough to put you on fire for a bit so no need to get rid of all your flavor text.

@TOZ - So, she’s bypassing the silence spell to taunt me? I’m impressed, that’s some serious villainy.

@TOZ - Does the Cleric have total cover now that she has been revealed?

@Kasimir - Nice job. Invisibility Purge is paying off big time this battle.

So, just to clarify, she's now visible but not silenced?

Also, calculating distances in 3 dimensions is always quirky in Pathfinder. Yuri is 10' above the ground (and 20' away on the horizontal plane from being 2 squares away from her) and I think she's 40' up (but Yuri only needs to get within 10, both horizontally and vertically, to be within reach). So: can I do that with 30' move speed (i.e. without needing to activate haste)?

Edit: nevermind, just gonna use haste anyway so that I can get nice and close.

@Grandmaster TOZ - Honestly I have no idea how it is possible that Hamish passed Fire Storm with a 24. But if you say he passed then he passed.

8th level spell and a 23 Wisdom, what can I say?

But people keep stacking BOF and Haste in their saves. Should we let it slide this time or not?

Make a note, Spell Immunity - Silence is a great choice.

And don’t dodge bonuses stack?

Spell Immunity - Fire Storm is an even better choice. ;)

Seriously, casting BOF beforehand lets you cast silenced spells for free. What is cooler than that?

Edit - Absolutely but those two spells do not stack. The spell description is clear. They overlap but do not stack. Up to the GM ultimately.

Make a note, Spell Immunity - Silence is a great choice.

If you had cast it before this fight, it would have been one of her choices. Fire Storm WAS one of them. :)

Edit - Right. Got it on the 2nd read. That was cool. I am glad I used my Fire Storm before then.

So, let it be said I minored in Math, and know perfectly well how to calculate the third side of a triangle. So well, in fact, that I don’t want to.

The nice thing is that we don’t need exact, we need ‘within 5ft’ as the top limit on accuracy.

So, the long side + half the short side of a triangle will generally be close enough, and can be done quickly.

I’d rather have the ability to cast high-level spells. There are other ways to protect from fire damage.

@GM - She gets to pick every round. So it can be her choice soon. Only up to 2nd level spells so not that good.

What lets her pick every round?

She gets to pick her benefit from blessing of fervor, just like we do.

Read up Blessing of Fervor. You get to pick your bonus at the beginning of every round. It makes it such a super spell. She does not have it up so no worries. But good for us.

Edit - I agree Kasimir with the fire protection. I am partial to Protection from Energy myself despite all the people claiming that Resist Energy is the better spell.

Sadly, not a spell she prepared, and the minions only get haste in the higher tiers.

Edit - Right. Got it on the 2nd read. That was cool. I am glad I used my Fire Storm before then.

Blade Barrier was another, in case she needed to run through her own. :)

Man. Clerics rock and she is proving that in spades. Thankfully she is not a PC cleric because if she was pimped out we would not be lasting long.

Spell Immunity is so cool. I wish it was on the Druid's list.

Ah, right. I always forget that part of BoFervor because none of my casters ever seem to get it thrown on them.

Honestly, a run of bad saves could have put you all in serious danger.

Oh yes. And it collapses quickly at this level.

Bless affects allies, so it can always be negated with a “never seen that guy in my life”.

By this point, I have constant heroes feast up so bless is irrelevant.

My first silence area vanished. I’d be obliged if someone could straighten the new one, it’s only so-so from Ipad.

That was my brain fart again with the edited posts.

Bless affects allies, so it can always be negated with a “never seen that guy in my life”.

GM, your call whether Superstition prevents Bless from working on Yuri. I can see arguments either way.

Nah, no save, no problem.

As far as I can tell, lay-on-hands does not have an audible component, so I would not think silence will prevent it...in case it matters next round.

As for the Gull's save - I don't believe it was within 10' of Omrax, but he does have a +4 save vs fear or charms aura. Unlikely it was in range or applied - but I was not keeping track of movement and when the spell was cast. (before or after he or Gull moved).

The save was a result of it hitting the priestess lady. Thus likely a spell or effect already in place.

So the Gull was where it is. =)

But even a 20, I doubt will help... so consequences it is!

Is the damage to the Gull from hitting the Priestess, or getting whacked from the statue?

@Kasimir - For hitting the priestess. Strength damage as a damage shield seems lack luster. I was expecting Vampiric Touch or something a bit sexier.
