GM Batpony's Gameday VIII [10-0] Hao Jin Cataclysm (Inactive)

Game Master Batpony

Sorry guys, I had a dental issue that's affected many bits of my life. I'll try to get back on track tomorrow or this evening.

These the PG&E blackouts?

Yep.

Started north of us early this morning. Our area is currently scheduled to be affected between noon and 5 pm. The last map I saw showed we should be safe by a few blocks but who knows?

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Niva.

I have posted the beginning of your next encounter to give you the possibility of fighting undead before this section is over, which should be soon.

If you have last minute actions or preparations to complete, please do so.

If as a group you would rather take a quick break before the big finale, that is acceptable to. I want to provide options.

Good luck with the power, I wish we could share some of our heavy rain with you. I'm off to take the dog to poop in a downpour.

Thank you for botting me GM. I appreciate it. I'm doing better today

Combat over, waiting for success condition to be announced and then we can head into the final battle.

That one was very efficiently dealt with, team!

Final chance for healing and resupply.

Also, there is an optional hard mode for the finale. Please PM me if you do or do not wish to activate hard-mode.

Just letting you know, I will be attending a single day of a relatively local convention tomorrow. I will try to check in early and late so that you don't lose much game time.

We will not be playing hard mode. And just to confirm, there were no advantages it would have been just for the fun of the additional challenge.

I am just waiting for our Overseer to lead us into the next section. We were expecting it yesterday but ... life.

You have two rounds to prepare. Please state any preparations and start the combat.

I have had internet issues all day. My apologies for the delayed response.

Traveling to a meeting in Michigan so I'll be out of contact for much of the day. Also, the meeting continues through Friday, so I'll be checking and posting here less often than I might otherwise do so.

If Cassiopia is using her tarot deck for divination spells she is casting spells at level 5.
She is caster level 2, thanks to her feat fortune teller she can use the tarot deck to get one level. Thanks to the trait Harrow Chosen she gains +2 caster levels if she is using her tarot deck for divination spells.
So caster level 5
;-)

Thanks for the explanation. That's really powerful to be casting at Level 5 for a level 2 character.

The tarot deck cheese is now widespread btw. That is the third character I see built this way at my table... (not counting those I know outside of direct table interaction...)

Just cast 'cause fear' on those psychics or have a bard inspire courage in them... lol

OK team, someone needs to attempt to repair or empower so we can keep moving.

You have two rounds to prepare before the next encounter.

I will be moving us on as soon as I can.

Sorry, Sulana doesn't have the necessary skills to either repair or empower. She's not the most useful out of combat.

Vina gently takes the feather, and uses her psychic senses to see the auras of the Tapestry swirling all around them. Spotting the metaphysical tear, she focuses her mental energies on the feather to use it as a kind of magnet, and pulls at the threads of the demiplane so that they wrap themselves around the feather.

Kn.Arcana to repair, Guidance: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21

Congratulations team.

I have enjoyed playing with you these last few days. Your regular GM, Batpony will be back shortly and will provide your chronicles.

I hope to have the chance to game with each of you again in the near future.

Thanks a lot for stepping in! And Batpony, thank you as well. It was a fun experience :)

Hey everyone! I thought i would be back in time for the conclusion but i guess we just did that well overall!

Thanks again Numbat for taking over! I have returned to my normal life and work so I will get you all your chronicles shortly!

Hey guys, sorry for disappearing. I appreciate any botting, and I'm so sorry I missed the finale! I'll be reading through the amazing conclusion of the adventure!

When this post locks, I'll be rolling for everyone's boons starting with GM and then alphabetically by character name. Good luck!

Jet lag is catching up to me, but i'll be trying to get all the reporting and chronicles out by today. Thanks all for your patience.

Good luck!
