GM Anthorg's Rise of the Runelords - everyone's a cleric! - Table 2

Game Master Anthorg

Yes

So, could you tell me to which of the enemies you directed your scary gaze, please? =D

Oh the archer. I imagine that'll be what I do the rest of this combat, is roll to coerce him into surrender.

Hey all! My son was hospitalized for his seizures on Sunday night. Hopefully we will be out on Tuesdays. If things are silent on my end that is why. Bot me as needed please.

Wow, hope he gets better soon, Elan. Take care of him, we'll be here.

God speed his recovery.

Yay! The party just leveled up!

When leveling up, please remember the spells and feats restriction, available in the Campaign info tab.

Hit Points: At level 2 you each, individually, make a choice about your hit die (d8 for clerics). You either gain half the maximum plus 1 (5 for clerics) or you roll a d8 and re-roll in case of 1 indefinitely, meaning if you get a 1 on the re-roll, you do it again until you do not roll a 1. In this website, you can equivalently roll 1d7+1. This choice cannot be changed in the future. When leveling up after level 2, please link the choice you have made at level 2. You also cannot at level 2 roll first, then choose.

Also, if you were not full HP when leveling up, your maximum increases, but your current HP increases at the same proportion as the maximum, rounding up. Example: If you were 29/50 HP and you gain 10 maximum HP, your new situation would be 35/60, i.e., a 20% increase in this case.

As for spell slots and other daily resources, you only get the new ones after resting for 8 hours. Everything else is immediately available.

I will put a link to this post on the campaign header.

Yay! Mashaka gets to be even more cleric. I will adjust her during the day today.

I will always keep her with 1/2 + 1 on HP. I'm just rolling for fun, but I won't use the rolls. I know myself - even if it's better now, I will very soon start rolling 2s and 3s.

1d8 ⇒ 6

I don't fully recall from the original recruitment string but variable multiclass was not an option correct?

I will do the half +1 and will annotate on character sheet.

Correct, no VMC.

Mashaka is updated to level 2 :)

@GM, I assume we are to continue as clerics only. Will prestige classes be allowed? I was considering holy vindicator for the far future, but I'm fine with going cleric all the way if we can't get into prestige classes either. Cheers!

Half +1 for me as well.

I'm sorry, Mashaka, but it has to be full cleric all the way.

I'll be using half +1 as well. ANd will work on getting elan updated.

I think I have updated everything now.

I should be updated now

Hey sorry for the radio silence; I've been very sick this week and mortified at the possibility of it being COVID (especially with me visiting family I would hate to transmit it to them), so in my anxiety I let things slip. I got tested today and hope to have the results tomorrow.

Feel better Ribitta. Hopefully you don't have it. Remember to drink lots of fluids and to stay rested and well fed.

Results say it is not COVID! Huzzah!

Yay Ribitta! Hope you get well soon :-)

Guys, someone in the other table raised an interesting point. I'm adding Inner Sea Gods to the list of allowed sources for spells (and feats?).

What do we know about Lamashtu that isn't hidden behind a K. Religion roll?

Chaotic evil deity, worshiped by some monsters. She causes deformities in babies. In Sandpoint, it is known that goblins typically worship her.

I'm getting married today (!!!) so I'll probably disappear until monday. We'll move things along once everyone is happy and playing in the festival.

Congrats!

Congratulations!

Has anyone seen Ribitta (The Lobster) in the forums?

Last post I see from her aliases is 27 nov

Hope she's ok. I'll bot her for a while.

Hey hi I had phone and internet problems starting the same day and just got my phone back late last night; I'll catch up and post soon, sorry y'all

No worries. Glad you are well.

Glad you're ok :-)

I've been rolling pretty badly for you. I promise it's not my fault.

Sorry, holidays were unexpectedly busy, will catch up when I can.

No problem. It's a busy time for a lot of people!

So, I haven't found an acceptable answer for this: Do any of you know if the Wounds Threshold penalties apply to CMB and/or CMD? I feel like they should, but it's not clear to me.

Combat maneuvers are an attack roll. CMD add a stat modifier and could also be modified. I don't see it spelled out but I would apply the threshold penalties to them.

I agree.

I agree as well

I'm here!!!! Something happened and I couldn't log in, I was getting desperate. If anyone is going through the same, you need to clear your browser cookies.

yep, it was a pain.

Has anyone been keeping track of treasure? Did we check the goblins for any good stuff? I think we have done poorly at stripping our enemies. We turned in Tsuto and are awaiting a decision on his stuff, I asked for it as a bounty. I think the monstrous goblin in the tunnels had a couple of items and there was at least a wand in the floating room.

We need to get some cold iron weapons, bolts in particular, maybe some of our close weapons.

You did find a magic weapon with the monstrous goblin in there, but on the original fight you actually skipped all the loot.

If you can't afford specialized weapons, you can borrow some. I think a few (specific) NPCs wouldn't mind.

Mashaka uses a very exotic weapon, and it is also her holy symbol. I guess she could carry something else for these scenarios, but she wouldn't be able to use most of her cleric stuff during such fights (unless she doesn't wear a shield, I guess? Or maybe if she tries to find a cold iron shield and uses it to bash?)

If you're not holding your weapon, you can't use your channel nor cast spells with a divine focus. Anything else is ok, I think.

Maybe the shield idea would work? Being clerics proficient with shields, I'd guess I could try to shield bash with them?

At least, it's probably easier to find a heavy cold iron shield than a cold iron split-sword :D

Just checked, the monster goblin had a longsword, dagger, and a hand axe. The longsword was getting a better to hit so I assume that was the magical one. Anything special about the dagger or hand axe? Silver, cold iron, MW?

If we sell the magical sword for 50%, that gives us 1155 split between us 4 so 288.75 gold each. Since cold iron weapons are only double cost, That should be enough to get a basic cold iron weapon and some cold iron bolts if the town doesn't provide them for us.

Mashaka, you could try the store of imported wares near the wharf.

This post is the goblin's loot.

Ok, so that is another 153 for the handaxe and 12.5 for the dagger. So another 41 gold each.

The heavy "cold iron" shield should cost 40 gold (double of the heavy steel shield, I guess?). Am I thinking it right?

That's the way I read it.
