Lion's Justice- Where Mammoth's Dare Not Tread (Inactive)

Game Master Nathanael Love

I'm aware.

Kevlor is such a beast. How can I help? Summoning flanking buddies seems to be numerically insignificant. I can offer some Freedom of Movement and Spider Climb when relevant.

In combat, he’d love it if somebody could flank and manipulate the battlefield. Any strategic movement inhibitors would be key. If he can’t get to them, he can’t hit them. And when he can’t full attack, he’s only half as effective. And, of course, anything at range or reach utterly stymies him.

You got it.

Meant to change some of my spells since we are headed for jungle.

Instead of Protective Spirit, I'll go with Water Walk, Communal.

Instead of Feather Step, I'll go with Longstrider which will last 9 hours.

Grel, dont' know if you switched out your spells at all, but probably some Delay Poison might be appropriate.

I can definitely include after the next rest. Seems like we might get one soon.

Ajax I've got a Longstrider wand if you want to save on a casting.

Sorry guys, on the road today; I'll try to get a full update tomorrow AM.

I have a wand, but if we are going to traveling all day long, I don't want to be burning up charges every hour.

I was just about to post, when I realized that I might be mistaken. Are we meeting with the three tribal elders all at the same time, or each individually?

All at once together- with one diplomacy roll for this group, and required to give one of the gifts but able to give more than one either for a bonus or to allow a reroll if you fail.

Yeah. . . This is not one of the more clearly written of these types of encounters- feels like they were developing the format a bit here.

I’m in pretty poor internet atm but should have a chance to write a proper post in the next 24 hrs
Petras diplomacy mod is +21 btw

Hi folks, I'm driving cross country starting tomorrow for a move. I'll do my best to check in at night but should be fully operational by Tuesday or so.

Wow! Good luck!

Yea, drive safe!

After Friday, I will be without Internet until Sunday I did want to rexamine my spells based on the info we got.

Yes- you have 3 days travel so you can definitely change spells before you get there.

Open to spell suggestions before I take off. I always prep resist energy, liberating command. Other than that I'm kind of open. I do like Barkskin. For 3rd, I've only got one spell and everyone says Life bubble is the best, but not sure how useful it is out here

For 1st level, endure elements would be useful if you don't have cold weather gear. Other than that, I don't have much to offer, since I rarely play rangers these days.

With 2/5 out I'm not going to push too fast this weekend FYI, I'll pick it back up tomorrow night or Monday AM and forge ahead from there, but feel free to post actions at this first site.

Petra has Liberating Command covered if you have better uses for the spell slot/swift action

Ajax needs ot take it on account of his faction.

Sorry guys I had a three headed monster of a busy work day/exhaustion from a month of no sleep/ a storm that messed up my internet the past day here; I'll get an update up tomorrow early on.

No worries. We appreciate you GMing.

All good here. Take your time.

No worries. Real life first, naturally.

@Grel There are a number of disease oriented spells:

1st - Remove Sickness - This gives 10min/level of +4 to disease, or suppresses the effect of a disease.

2nd - Delay Disease

3rd- Cure Disease

ok i moved some spells around for Remove Sickness and a Cure Disease

So....Ajax could pick up Liberating Command twice. Might be a good idea.

2nd Level:
Usually Barkskin on myself and Cat's Grace on Ara.

I could put a 2nd Barkskin on someone or put it on Ara and boost her AC to 35, 37 with Cat's Grace. She wouldn't be able to do much damage, but she could provide flank bonus, or kind of protect Petra and Ajax.

Alternatively, I could also do Enemy Insight which wold give three people my +2 FE bonus vs Demons. This would only last 9 minutes.

Another option is to memorize Hunter's Eye. And not Barkskin. I could give my Pearl of Power 2 to Grel and he could cast Barkskin on Ajax and Ajax. Thought I don't know if these creatures can turn invisible, suspect most/many demons at this level can. Of course Ara has scent, so that might be an alternive.

3rd level:
Typically go with Life Bubble, but I don't know if that would be of an use against this demon. I could also choose Darkvision.

Any thoughts?

Boosting Ara's (or Kelvor's) AC would be useful.

If you go with Enemy Insight, I nominate Kelvor, Ara, and Grel as recipients. That bonus is wasted on Juniper.

Some proof against invisibility is probably smart. Darkvision might be useful too. :shrug:

Grel, how many barkskins can you cast?

Boosting Ara's (or Kelvor's) AC would be useful.

Boosting my AC is always welcome. It is only AC25. Currently have +1 nat armor bonus.

Enemy Insight sounds GREAT.

Grel, how many barkskins can you cast?

I have 2 prepped now but can make room for 2 more if necessary.

I’ve got plenty of liberating Command too. Not much else to do with 1st level spells

Okay,

I'll go with:

1st:
1. LC, 2. RE, and 3. Gravity Bow

2
Barkskin (Kevlor and Ajax. I'm lvl 9 caster, so that's +3 to AC), Instant Enemy

3.
Life Bubble. (This spell is just too good to pass up).

I'll ask Grel to Cast Barkskin on Ara

You got it. CL 9 also from Place Magic.

That should e Enemy Insight, not Instant Enemy

Did you guys prep for the plague demon? I thought we were headed to the grapple demons.

Oh, I'm sorry- did I misread that?

This is the location/setup for the plague demon which is the "more powerful" of the two-- let me know if you guys meant to go to the beast/grapple demon and I'll switch maps.

Yes, I thought we were going to the grapple demon.

same. I have a Freedom of Movement prepared if someone wants.

Sorry about that- let me reset to that one.

Okay, I reread Enemy Insight and it looks lke it only give HALF my FE bonus, so that's only +1. Also...the range is 45 feet, which is pretty small given we're outdoors. Once Ajax gets set, he's not going to move much, so anyone who gets it has to say within 45 feet.

Fyi- our internet at the homestead has been out since last night so I'm not sure when I'll be able to update next for sure.

Sure black tentacles, aqueous orb and that sort of thing would be more effective but seriously how awesome is a good fireball? :D

kaboom

@GM - Let me ask now:

If Ara (who is size small) is between Ajax and the demon, would Ara provide cover and protect Ajax from AoO's?

Want me to preemptively provoke some AoO's for you?

Edit: done.

As a bookkeeping note, Ajax will pay for the Scroll of Teleportation used by Embarkin.

I'm going horseback camping with the family in the Sierra Nevadas tomorrow (channeling my inner Ranger). Back Sunday. I'll check in on the road tomorrow. But after that...

GM: Please 'bot Kelvor. His normal attacks are in his profile line. His Enlarged dice expressions are in the Bot instructions in his profile, as are dice expressions for Enlarged+Hasted attacks.

Have fun, Kelvor. Can't say I'm not jealous.

Emberkins scroll is a daily freebie from my tattooed sorcerer archetype :)
