Correct. The hole she made is a 5-ft square. I've updated the map to show that the wall is now missing next to her.
If I recall, we have a null-space chamber we picked up earlier in this trip we could use to dump supplies plus armor and weapons to help the natives equip themselves, even if we keep the pick of the equipment for ourselves--I think there was camping equipment in it or some such thing...

Just a heads up, I'll be on vacation until the 22nd. That means traveling and probably fewer chances to post. I expect I'll be able to keep us rolling, but if you don't hear from me for a couple of days, just sit tight and I'll get a post in once I have a free evening.
Be safe! Have fun! Take it easy!

Not sure if it will have any game effect, but how do the anassanoi react to the materiel dump? Quite a few resources for those desperately battling for their own survival...
I assume they said no Drow in the setting any longer?
Dang. I've been bummed out about a bunch of the other thematic/content changes they've been announcing recently too.
Given how tightly intertwined with WotC & the OGL drow are, I can't say I'm surprised. I imagine we'll be feeling the ripples from OGL's death for years yet.

I'm really sorry, I've been having a hard time lately as a medicine I have to take every day has been subject to a national shortage, and I didn't get any warning before having to essentially go cold turkey.
Yeah, that’s terrible! Hope you get it under control quickly…
I only just realized, the map has 10ft squares so we're all Large right now! :)

Take out the giant!
Flint has a +4 Strength item already (think that is Mark II), but no +2 item (Mark I). Anyone have a +2 Charisma item they want to give to Flint and upgrade to +4?
iirc Ordyt has already used a +2 and a +4 crystal
Sammad if you shoot Pink you get a +1 to the attack since Ordyt is in melee
Sorry, I should have explained this better, but GM does that Mysticism check give Ordyt any insight into whether that psychic moaning has any supernatural effects or components?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ah gotcha. No supernatural effects to worry about, as far as you can tell.
Clarification on what we know of the anassanoi--the impression I got from your description is that they're not undead so much as living-but-lobotomized and controlled by those implants. Is that correct?
If so, Ordyt would point-blank refuse to kill them. We don't have the time or resources right now to attempt some sort of surgical reversal but that would be the goal in his mind.
Agreed, Ordyt. If he can’t tell they are for sure undead, make that Subdual damage from Flint (1d6 less damage).
Yep, you've got it right Ordyt. Minds are gone but their bodies are alive, so they're similar in behavior to zombies without being undead. Whether the implants control them or simply continue to animate them is unclear.
Bel, am hoping that flint’s action kills the husk grappling him so he will free to move his speed away. Please feel free to take your turn as you like.

Sammad hypothesized a link between the shamblers and the psychic weapon a couple of turns ago, right before they started going for Flint.
Yup, referring to that
So we're looking at a...technomagical clone? Not the original Protector but a consciousness backup in a biological body?
These guys suck. We're living proof that the annassanoi don't have to put up with Legion atrocities to explore/learn about the wider world. If they a 30 Diplomacy and our presence as non-Legion outsiders isn't enough to persuade them then I'm not sure what other choice we have.
Level 10?! Woohoo! Taking another Mystic level of course, gunning for those 4th level spells once we hit 11.
The big gains for Ordyt are increased saves and Sacred Weapon--GM, is it okay if we retcon that Ordyt applied the Holy infusion to his bayonet on the ride over? It takes 1 minute and lasts 24hr but I get the feeling we might run into some evil outsiders here.
Can we get the misguided souls to stand aside, maybe lock them in somewhere so they can’t come up on us from behind? I am wanting Flint to support Belmarniss on this in kind of an enforcer roll. He is willing to follow her lead given her excellent speech.

@Ordyt: Yep, that sounds good to me.
@Flint: Yep, that's definitely within the bounds of coercing someone that isn't initially hostile.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Belmarniss, if you don't want to take the lead here, Flint will speak up again.
...or Sammad can try his hand if he likes.
Same! Here's my level up, though.
BAB +1
Fort +2, Ref +1, Will +1
+6 HP, +16 SP
Ability Boosts to Str (12), Con (12), Wis (14), and Int (20)
Mechanic Trick: Projected Shield, lets me give the temp HP from my shield to one of you instead.
Skill ranks: +1 to Acrobatics, Athletics, Computers, Engineering, Life Science, Medicine, Perception, Physical Science, Piloting
+4 to Stealth
+7 to Culture (That is so many languages, I have no idea where to start)

I don't know why I said "snap-second", that's not a thing. Let's pretend that makes sense out in the Diaspora
I think I blended split-second and snap decision.

That's just the kind of thought muddling that happens when you need to make a snap-second decision.

Finished leveling up Sammad.
Ability Boosts to Dex[18], Con[14], Int[16], and Cha[19]
New Improvisation: Clever Improvisations, I basically get one free Resolve-boost for Improvisations per 10-minute or 8-hour rest.
Skill ranks into all of my current skills, including Culture to learn Anassanoi, and one extra rank into Stealth so that I actually have a bonus to that now. Sort of surprised that wasn't there already, truthfully.
That's a pretty nice pistol...Someone should take it if they will use it, otherwise Flint would be happy to use it as a backup weapon.

All, I'll be traveling for work until Wednesday next week. My posting is likely to be slow until then, but I may be able to get a couple updates in.

Okay, I think I've got Belmarniss' level up squared away finally.
AB +1
Will +7
+5 HP, +17 SP
Ability Boosts to Str (18), Dex (16), Con (14), and Int (18)
Skill ranks: +1 to Athletics, Computers, Culture, Engineering, Intimidate, Mysticism, Perception, Physical Science, Piloting
+10 to Life Science
New Spells: Dampen Spell (2nd), Arcing Surge (3rd), Slow (3rd), Junksword (4th)
Again, PLEASE let me know if my math is wrong in any way!
Correct. Since you have dampen spell, and we don't want to switch to a slow back and forth whenever there's a spellcaster, tell me under which criteria you'll want to use it (ex, vs. certain types of spells), and I'll try to remember that reaction.
For this particular spell though, since we didn't set anything up beforehand, you can cast dampen spell after the fact if you'd like.
Yep, that's OK in this case. In the future, please describe your "standard operating procedure" for the spell so we aren't doing stuff retroactively.
