TOZ's Passing the Torch (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

@Hamish - Please include the elementals and the bone devil in your haste spell next round. An extra attack and +1 extra to hit never hurts. The eagles do not really need it.

Are there any other actions you wish to take? I don’t believe the elementals have attacked since getting blasted again.

I don't think Yuri has anything he can do at present so he'll delay waiting for a target.

Ok I am waiting on Hamish to put up Haste again. My elemental can use all the help he can get now that Vahlo is flying. :)

I guess I should be moving Bombshell closer to the front. Supernatural force damage is hard to beat.

Yeah, we would have been done with this game already.

Well Hamish put Vahlo in a box. What am I supposed to do about it? :)

*gestures to the Gull and Yuri*

Also, you have an elemental that can do like 20 damage a hit.

Ya, screw this elemental thing.
Like i said, it just makes this ending boring.

Its time to go in and get him, i think.
Yuri's the sunder monster, but I'm sure the Gull could manage it..

Just need folks to get in better positions!

Will a wall of Ice work now?

Assuming the elementals stay out of the dome. Sounds like it might be counter productive to some of the other party members however.

The huge elemental will keep attacking while it can as it is free potential damage. If someone else wants to sunder the wall by all means go ahead.

It was lot more fun before he began to fly and the elementals had a chance of doing significant damage. :)

My sincerest apologies to all of you. My Mother passed away, and getting matters settled was a lot more complicated than anticipated. I haven't taken the time to go back and read everything yet. I just wanted to check in and find out if it's still possible to rejoin you. If not, no worries. My extended absence is more than enough to justify moving on without me (and indeed, why I haven't taken the time to read everything yet...)

No worries, Rokgurn has done an excellent job taking over Bombshell’s bombs! Take your time getting caught up and we might be at the wrap up when you’re done. I’m very sorry to hear about your mother and wish you all the best in getting through the new reality.

Very sorry to hear about your mother. :(

My condolences, butI’m glad to have you back.

I am very sorry to hear what has happened.

Okay, to avoid more confusing retcons and get this over with, going to have Hamish's actions after Vahlo's latest attack.

Sure, just post an update and everyone will roll with it.

Decent AC on this fellow! Nice.

The elementals were so easy to hit that it just made sense to Combat Expertise it up. :) Would have used it last combat, but Bombshell made it academic.

Ah... foiled by left over combat expertise from the previous turn? Ha! That's funny. =)

But it did ruin my cool 'drag him out by his heels' moment!
Though, to be honest, the pull, though thematically appropriate, rarely ever seems to work. So I'm not too surprised.

Bless does stack with inspire courage and hunter’s blessing.

Why do you say this Kasimir?

Hunter's Blessing is a sacred bonus to hit and damage.
Bless is a morale bonus to hit.
Inspire Courage is a competance bonus to hit and damage.

All three stack just fine for the part that matters.

(only the save bonus from inspire and bless don't stack (both morale))

I think he was saying the same with you. All three stack. :)

Omrax's smite attack did not include the extra +1

It also assumed Vahlo is undead and not an evil outsider. Damage changes +/- if either of those assumptions are not true.

Hmm... for some reason I read that multiple times, and saw a negative in there.... that wasn't actually here!

OK, never mind then. =)

You know those Asmodeans - always trying to confuse the populace!!!

He is indeed an undead halfling, as shown on the slide. :)

Halfling? Wow, I totally missed that. I was thinking there was a different picture of him as a human in armor before. Now I want to just pick him up and shake him. "What were you thinking, fool of a Took!"

Beware the perils of falling in battle to the Whispering Tyrant and his minions.

Crazy Hairy, my deepest condolences. Sending you and your family positive thoughts during this tough time.

He is indeed an undead halfling, as shown on the slide. :)

Man, that is one ugly halfling!

GM, I posted Yuri's action. Let me know where I am in the initiative count at the moment. I had delayed on round 5, partly because there didn't seem like anything for me to do, and partly because IRL busy. Now that I've moved and attempted to break another opening in the wall, where does that leave me?

I assume Vahlo has spells or SLAs? I'm not sure we've seen him use any thus far, but Yuri doesn't need to know for Witch Hunter to activate (it gives him +4 dmg).

Also, do we have any reason to consider him a slaver (or otherwise one who subjugates others to his will)? Asking for the purpose of the Liberty's Edge faction benefit.

Are the created undead -particularly- sensitive to light, or just regular undead?

Just plain old incorporeals.

Sadly, he’s just a murderous undead, not a slaver.

I really hope that they did not clear Torch of all wrongdoing in the end because that would just be a horrible ending.

Edit- Should I be rolling the save for Negative Energy for Bombshell now?

If you want. All enemies are dispatched.

Searing Light 10d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 2, 5, 2, 3, 5, 2, 1) = 30

@Kasimir - A little late with that. Everyone is down. :)

I’m rolling anyway, I don’t care ; )

Why do I get the image of Emperor Palpatine - keep hitting it with more lightning until the body stops twitching. :)

Wouldn't work, he's immune to lightning. :)

Well, my negative channel does look a little lightning-y...

I will be delaying Torch’s responses minus clarifying questions until everyone has had a chance to weigh in. (Bombshell is the exception given real life circumstances, but I hope all players will be able to participate in this climax.) I have the next two days off, so if you are able please keep an eye on the gameplay thread.

Just a final confirmation, no one is former Shadow Lodge, correct? I figure it would have come up with the discussion of history with Torch, but just making sure.

I am waiting on other people as well to get their input before putting on the crown. If that is not the way that people want to go then we do not have to go that way although I can not see any other way.

I'll have intermittent access the next couple of days, but I'm willing to try it and will support whatever the rest of the party wants to do. Fwiw, Yuri has no particular grudge (that I can recall) against Torch.

And who do you think is putting it on? If you’re volunteering, then may the dark lord’s blessing shine upon you.

Kasimir was (maybe obviously) Cheliax, and is now Dark Archive. He does owe Torch a favor from a previous mod.

Rokgurn and Yuri have volunteered so far, just need three more individuals, unless anyone has strong objections. Does the Gull have a head?

Two more victims volunteers are required. I have no idea if it will be a boon, a forced retirement or nothing special. Character lottery. :)

Hope it's not one of those things that requires spending a bunch of prestige to undo. Yuri is nearly prestige-less.

Does the Seaward Gull have a head?

Um... technically, it's the quadraped shape (though with extra legs and arms)... so it would have to have something that 'counts' as such, I suppose. =)
