A Halloween wedding? I'm jealous!
Congrats and I hope y'all have an amazing time of it. :)
Brain hurts. No post today. Sorry.
Same. Sometimes brain-hurt expand to physical skull-hurt.
Good luck with your wedding next week!
Shortly afterwards I'm going on a fairly long trip, Leaving on the 4th November and returning on the 24th. I'll have my phone with me, but my posting availability will be reduced for sure.
Hero Points reset in a week (see below)
Alright, so I know that my normal situation is that I reset Hero Points on the 1st of the month, but I am making an exception for November for very obvious reasons.
This week is gonna be chaos for me because, as I’ve mentioned previously, I’m getting married. I will be completely unavailable to post from 10/30-11/1 because I NEED to focus all my attention on, y’know, the most important social event of my life xD
Yes, please forget us for some time and go enjoy your wedding and after. Congratulations!
Running around today like a chicken with my head cut off. Things are calming down a bit. Also, for those not in the know, the Paizo website is gonna be down from 11/3 to...I believe 11/5 (I'd need to double-check)
Hero Points have reset
I make no promises that I'll be able to get a post in before the website goes dark at noon.
If anybody is thinking about their General feat at 15th level, may I suggest Robust Health? It's new from the Remaster and gives you a bonus equal to your level whenever you get healed by Treat Wounds and Battle Medicine, plus you become immune to Battle Medicine for only 1 hour instead of a whole day.
At level 15 with Legendary Medicine, that would mean my Battle Medicine healed y'all for 2d8+55 or even 2d8+80. Not bad for a single action.

That's a circumstance bonus, and so is the bonus healing from Medic Dedication
Oh, I missed that they changed that in the remaster! It used to be untyped. Still a good feat for the shortened immunity, though.
So now my 2024-2025 bingo card consists of "graduated," "got my first full-time job," "met the love of my life," "got engaged," "bought a house," "got married," and finally "got fired a week after my wedding."
Ugh.
Alright, things are now back and running. I'll try to get a post going tomorrow. I...really did need this past week away from the forums because I just...it was a lot...

My trip is now coming to an end, but with the long flight and jetlag I don't expect to be back on until the 25th.

Alright, I’m gonna be honest with y’all: the only solution I’m given as-written for the whole thing with Kaklatath is exactly what they said: kill both bodies and then resurrection. Like, it genuinely does not give any alternatives. It likewise says that Elari’s mind is so far gone that removing the infection from her takes nothing short of a wish.
I’m sorry if I came across like Kaklatath was not even considering any alternative solutions, it’s just that, based on my reading of the adventure, there AREN’T any alternative solutions.
Does this party have a way of reviving the dead? I genuinely don't remember.
And apologies that I've not been posting as...greatly. Non-combat posts always take a lot more energy out of me, and things have been really difficult on my end as it already stands.

Shohreh with raise dead?

Definitely understand. Take your time.

Hear hear! I've always been impressed with your commitment to posting, I know how much effort you must put in to it all and being so thorough with it. There's no need to apologise, I hope things improve for you soon.
As for Raise Dead, I'm not sure. I couldn't find any reference to our having found the Resurrect ritual at any point, and Raise Dead is Uncommon so I think Shohreh would have had to Learn it at some point? If that's still how it works post remaster I don't know.

No post today; American Thanksgiving. Spend time with your loved ones.

It's on my list, but I don't know if Shakur gained access to it.
Quick clarification: is the Quelent at ground level? It started near the ceiling and "flew around" the barrier, so it sounds like it's high up but it doesn't have a height listed so I'm not sure :/
Ground level.
No energy. No post today. Sorry.
No worries. I def. have many of those days near the holidays
Quick thing, Jevar: the pillars in this chamber block line of sight, so there is no good way for you to center that slither where you did, even with the extra action from Boodiddly's haste.
Also, sorry that I'm not really getting to posting here today. I always feel bad when this game gets kinda-sorta shoved to the side whenever I have stuff going on. On top of it taking A LOT more energy for me to bot someone, Shohreh's player going through some stuff that's draining them, and my depression from having to do job hunting in this economy in December, I also recently learned that my family dog just got diagnosed with cancer. And I'm visiting him today for...what may very well be the last time...and then I have to go run a PFS game right after like nothing happened. So it's...today in particular is just a lot...

I've drawn a line of sight and and centered the spell on that. When you get a moment (no hurry!) see if you think it's reasonable.
Yeah, that is a lot for one day. Hope you get some rest and that tomorrow is better.
That sounds dreadful I'm sorry. Please do take your time with the game; there's no rush
My apologies, that should be DC 33 for the basic fort save against phantom orchestra.
FYI I've come to visit my in-laws until the 28th. No doubt many of us will be busy during this period, but that's why I might reduce my posting frequency. I'm on my phone so while I've managed to move my token drawing the path is a bit beyond me sorry!
By the way, uh...I'm basically gonna say that we have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. Go spend time with your family.
Hero Points reset in a week
Also, I don’t think I’ll be able to get to a post today; post-Christmas hit me really hard.
I'm alive! Sorry, I've been moving to a different city and it feels like it takes forever. Also, my computer was in a box under more boxes that were behind other boxes.
Sorry that I’ve been so spotty recently; first Christmas season as a father/husband and I’m just…I promise I’ll be back to regular posting soon. Today I’m just…tired.
...I just remembered that phantom orchestra is an air spell and the polyps are technically immune to air effects if they wish to be...
...
Welp, too late now!
Apologies, I have a lot of stuff going on today specifically and I won't be able to get a post in.
Continuing over here. These are things the party could reasonably talk about but might be tedious to RP :D
So, ideas:
- Cast scouting eye over the lake, which lasts 1m and travels 30'/round. It would only reach 300' down, but perhaps would give us *some* insight. If Jevar can spot it, maybe use that line of sight for: Mind Probe? Banishment? Disintegrate? Heightened lightning?
- Elemental form, water elemental, sneak down for a better peek
- Summon dragon, some watery variant that would piss it off enough for it to come after us.
I want to see what Boodiddly recalls, but we know this thing infects people by them knowing its name. It might make sense that it would have some awareness then of when its name is being spoken, and it might also become aware that it is being spoken by creatures that it hasn't infected. That might be enough to stir it?
I managed to hurt my eye this weekend and spent most of it unable to read! A little too much method acting for my tastes.
Okay, things are gonna be really really busy for me these next 2 weeks, so I’ll kinda be sporadic and, unfortunately, my PbPs will likely be the things taking the hit.
Next Monday (1/19) I’ll be out of town and likely won’t be able to get a post in.
I also have a very important event happening on 1/22, and a LOT of my energy will be dedicated toward that during these next 2 weeks. I will DEFINITELY not be able to get a post in on 1/22 and might have to take some days here and there of not posting so I don’t burn myself out.
I will try to communicate to the best of my ability if I can or cannot post on a given day. This event on 1/22 is one that I’ve been preparing for (perhaps unhealthily, if I’m being honest) for several months and it’s essentially a “Priority 0” in my life right now.
Please be patient with me. I apologize that I’ve been more sporadic these past few months. I promise things will get better once this situation passes.
Life happens. Don't sweat it and take time when you need it.
Level 15, yay!
Boosts to Str, Con, Int, and Cha
Medicine to Legendary
Athletics to Trained
6th font slot!
General feat: Incredible Initiative
Master spellcasting!
Don’t forget 8th-rank spells!
I'm very busy this week and I probably won't be able to update Kolgradd's sheet until the weekend, sorry.
Attributes: STR to 6 finally, CON to +4, DEX to +3 and CHA finally positive to +0
Skill Increase: Athletics to Legendary
General Feat: Cloud Jump
Greater Weapon Specialisation
Tempered Reflexes (Master and Success -> Crit Success)
Then Improved Flexibility gives a second bonus Feat to choose each day, I'm probably going to switch to Blind Fight + Whirlind Strike as a start.
Oh boy! Level 15 gives Boodiddly:
- Dex, Con, Int, and Wis all increase to +4!
- Toughness!
- Master spellcasting!
- New spells (forceful hand and spirit song)!
- Religion increases to Trained!
- Cooking and Rituals Lores both increase to Legendary!
And most exciting, Occultism increases to Legendary! This means Bardic Lore increases to Expert, which means it qualifies for Unmistakable Lore's "crit fail -> failure", meaning we can always get some Dubious Knowledge out of it! Huzzah!
Attribute boosts: DEX, INT, WIS, CHA
Skill increase: Arcana to Legendary
General feat: Fleet
Rank 8 spellbook spells: Arctic Rift, Desiccate
I'm having a hectic week too, so my updated profile will be earliest Friday night.
Sorry, this week is still a bit hectic for me. With the transition to a new Book and still needing to wait for people to update their character sheets, I'm probably gonna not get a post in today. I will definitely try to get something in either tomorrow or Monday.
I certainly can't throw stones over that. Same for me, this week has been something else. Character sheet will probably be tonight.
