Alas, Magdi has no Diplomacy and only mediocre Cha.
| Adriana the Penitent |
Apologies, IRL stuff happened. I wish there wasn't an undercurrent of "Not sick with C" for these posts, but here we are :/
Is it too late to attempt to buff or aid? Do I roll with my own diplomacy modifier or a different one? I really hope we won't have to fight the water woman.

I fell and hurt my dominant hand pretty bad yesterday so i might be much slower to post for the next day or so. Thankfully i dont think there is anything broken
| Magdi the Tribeless |
Hope you feel better soon, Tewa.
| Adriana the Penitent |
Apologies again, more IRL stuff. Harmless, but one of those things that has to be taken care of before it stops being harmless.
@DM I'm going to but my diplomacy roll here and late tonight I'll have a proper post in using the result
Diplomacy Attempt: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
@Tewa ouch! I hope you feel better soon!
| Adriana the Penitent |
I am so tired of IRL stuff, @GM thankyou for picking up my slack.
A slight tldr of a vent - you might think you can youtube how to fix a plumbing problem, but I promise you, you can't. How do I know? My upstairs neighbours and a whole day of people in and out of the apartment.
At least it's just leaks and not water damage (yet.)
Adulthood is tiring
| GM Rutseg |
Yup, houses take a lot more effort to maintain that it might seem, the oldest the worse.
Just this year I have had to call the insurance 3 times to fix a leak, repair a kitchen cupboard (to the previous water leak) and to find a general electrical failure that finally resulted from the halt motor of the extraction hood (which ultimately we decided to replace by a new one). Then I also had to call the caldera technician and replace the valve that refills the heating system to adjust pressure. Sum up 4 downlights replaced in the kitchen, 1 in the toilet, and the large bulb in our bedroom (all failing at different dates of course). Plus, I had to buy and install a new shower head also because apparently my Str 28 found the previous one broken in my hands.
This weekend I am determined to sand down the rust in the front of the washing machine and paint it back. I already bought a special spray to repaint it. Yes let's do it. We can do it Adriana. We are going to do it :)
| Adriana the Penitent |
I just realized how my last post takes some liberties there and I am going to blame posting while extra tired, but if GM is okay with it then it was totally to plan!
More awake post coming soon!

Sorry for my silence these past few days. Been sick off and on. I'll try to get a post up today.
| GM Rutseg |
No problem! That is the kind of detail that enriches the campaign Adriana :)
And this adventure is really a sandbox at heart. You can take the missions in any order, and you can try to look for allies as she is doing, or even just ignore everything in the middle and look for the bad ones lair and gamble your necks with them :P
| Adriana the Penitent |
I think at least a couple of sidequests, if only so that we don't overshoot like the first mission and come uncomfortably close to death again - swallowed whole, what a way to have gone!

@Magdi (and, well, everyone really) - don’t forget that Opportune Advice gives you a +1 insight bonus to your saving throw against the naga’s spell-like abilities!
| Magdi the Tribeless |
Oh, huh. That's right! I guess I only take half damage. I'll do the math in the morning, but I may not have used the spell, so I may retcon my actions yet.
Tonny Prul

Ooo, don't forget to confirm that crit Jonah! Crossbows threaten on a 19 or 20.
| Magdi the Tribeless |
Shoot, I could've sworn I posted last round. I'll get my actions up tomorrow.

[dice=Reflex, OA vs DC 18]d20+7+1
Tonny convulses as the electricity grounds itself through him, then falls to the floor in a heap of smoking hair and singed leather.
-9/35 (-9/-12) @GM, what are the rules on Hero Points again? Tonny might need one here soon. XD
Ouch!
The hero points rules are here, only thing I do different is when choosing the bonus you can only take the +4 (the +8 option is not available).
Basically you can expend a hero point to attempt a reroll of the save. As you are on your 3 points limit according to my notes, it might be a good idea. If you end dying, you could still use 2 hero points to fudge death.
Tonny Prul

Awesome. Could I use the reroll option in a new post, or has that ship sailed at this point? Rerolls in PbP are a tricky subject., and each GM seems to have their own standards regarding them. XD
Tonny Prul

Gotcha - I’ll try to remember that for future use (and, of course, hope that it’ll never be needed in the future).
| GM Rutseg |
Will another perception roll reveal anything else?
Well, there were some items you left behind but nothing major admittedly.
And about timing, the book reading took a few hours, perhaps most of the day, so unless there is a strong push in another direction, I will have you heading back to the Lirgeni Enclave with the next post.
| Adriana the Penitent |
I do have some downtime posts to make but have to handle some IRL stuff first, so it'll be late tonight before I can get it posted.
I'm curious as to what we left behind, but that can wait until we finish.
| GM Rutseg |
I do keep waiting for at least one person to post some kind of action or the group to agree on some clear procedure. With the current inputs I can only guess Magdi and Jonah would prefer to bypass it (stealth? looking for an alternative path or using some kind of magic?) while Tonny would prefer to try lure it out of the water, although it is also not clear to me how you wish to attempt that.
If nothing is done, I will just assume the location is not interesting and will have us heading back home to try out with other stuff.
| Magdi the Tribeless |
Yeah, I think Magdi would like to go around it somehow - either by distraction or by some other means. Stealth really isn't his forte, but he doesn't want to fight a sea creature unnecessarily. However, he does think there might be more useful things here, so he's in favor of staying.
... can Jonah use wild empathy? I haven't looked at anyone else's sheets.
| Jonah Halwood |
seems like it would be tricky. have to get within 30 feet of the thing and spend a minute to do wild empathy. seems like plenty of time to get eaten...
In other news, i will be on vacation for the next week and will likely not be able to post very much while gone.
| Tewa She |
Let’s just fight it then. Get this moving
| Magdi the Tribeless |
Sounds fine to me. Magdi won't like it, but I'm fine with the idea.
| GM Rutseg |
Let's see if we can make this work, try the wild empathy idea, after all Jonah's favorite enemy is animal and he has a trait to deal with dinosaurs. If that fails we will roll initiative.
As Jonah is on vacation, thanks for the heads up, I will make his wild empathy rolls.
| Magdi the Tribeless |
Oh, yes, sorry about that. I'm back, if we need to get moving.
| Adriana the Penitent |
*incoherent rage noises*
Laptop is broken and currently being fixed, there's a lot going on, Adriana will continue hacking and slashing, and fingers crossed if I don't need to be botted then I should have my laptop back to make a post tomorrow.
Bleh.
| GM Rutseg |
In case there is someone waiting for Tonny to translate. Please, just assume he does, so feel free to read the spoilers and speak up your questions and desires ;)
The spoiler things at the moment there is someone able to understand, are more of an ascetics thing and should not go against the flow of the game, but I can stop doing that if it is keeping us from going forward or killing the momentum.

If no one speaks Auran, Magdi can prepare tongues at level 7, but until then he can only manage comprehend language, which, while useful, isn't going to get across his point to the bird.
