GM Losonti's Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Losonti

We should enjoy this reprieve; get to know our new friends (and Undercommon); and be ready in the morning.
Besides, Tristan heard that they serve a super good waffle buffet for breakfast!

Lol

Generally, yes, you need to rest to level up. There may be a few exceptions depending on circumstances, but I will let you know if that's the case. If you want to press forward anyway, you can certainly return to Neathholm to rest up.

For HP, take the average of your hit die, rounded up. So a d6 is 4+Con, d8 is 5+Con, etc.

And yeah, that weapon is a doozy. I spent some time thinking about what exact weapon it ought to be, but decided to go with something that could be used by anyone in the party (and that hopefully wouldn't get sold to the first merchant who could afford it!).

Assuming Milorn keeps his gear the major items to sell are the 2 masterwork chainmails and the scroll of cause fear. If you want to claim those items do so now.

Level up complete. Unfortunately, level 2 is very uneventful for me. Gained Detect Undead as a bonus spell. Which I don't feel is very exciting. Anyway, level 3 is cooler.

@party: Do you think I should invest 1 point into Survival? It's class skill from my mystery, but I don't see me using it that much in this campaign. Also, I have 0 wisdom.

Likewise Benedic doesn't get much on level ups. Clerics get even less than oracles, though we get a faster spell progression to make up for it slightly. An additional spell at each spell level, increased BAB, and saves is basically it for me. :)

Someone should probably invest in survival. Its situational, but there is a decent chance that our lives will be much easier at some point if someone has invested in it. I would do it but my skill points are stretched very thin as it is.

Tristan is now trained in Survival; along with having Track ability.

Thanks Tristan. Skill points are sort of lacking here.

Wow! Offline for one day and 24 posts....

What skills do we need?

The thing that jumps out at me is disable device.

The other non-background skills that no one is particularly good at are:
Bluff
Climb
Disguise
Escape Artist
Fly (but no one can fly yet)
Ride
Swim

Missing background skills:
Appraise
Geopraphy
History
Sleight of hand

We are somewhat overrepresented with diplomacy and everyone but me can planes; and even I can try. So if you want I can switch my versatile performance to sing to cover bluff instead of diplomacy.

A lot of what we are missing can be covered or stop gaped with magic. Especially after I hit 5th level.

Bluff seems more Junior’s style than Diplomacy, I’d say. But it’s always worthwhile having lots of people able to make Diplomacy checks.

I'm going to start picking up fly in a level, since I may pick up the fly Hex later down the road.

Level up done. I've only got +7 to disable device, but picked up a few other skills.

Stealth +11, but hard to use since I can't see in the dark!

Are we staying the night for the level up? If so, do we have funds for ink and such to translate and copy spells to our spellbooks?

Learning a spell

Writing it to your book

Inquiring minds like mine would also love to know. I'm sure we can press on and get one more encounter out of the free Bless, but I think it might be useful for Selann and I to spend the night, copy some spells (if possible) and prep what we've learned.

I think we'll be alright. Sometimes having to get creative with what could have been a simple challenge because we're missing a skill can be fun. Plus, for something like climb, we already have a levitation scale, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The GM said we had to rest to level... so, I'm assuming we're going to do that (since we all leveled already)?

We should rest. The benefits far outweigh expiring the Bless, especially since I can recast it.

And don't forget the wonderful waffle buffet!

We're resting, already reflected that in my profile.

Sold the gear I thought we should sell. I didn't touch Milorn's stuff because we never settled on what we were doing with it. Assuming he's keeping it so he's combat effective if it comes to it, maybe a mistake.

Everyone's cut is 78 gp, 1 sp, 7 cp. The numbers are already added in your totals on the sheet.

Unfortunately, Neathholm does not have a scroll of remove blindness/deafness, but because Aravashnial's eyes have been destroyed, not just injured, the spell wouldn't be enough to help him.

I plan to put up a post later tonight to get y'all moving again.

Thank you, Quartermaster Junior!

Oh! Remember you all get another hero point for leveling up.

I remembered! We should also remember that 3 is the cap, so those of us who haven't spent any yet should be less stingy and spend 1 before 3rd or else we'll miss out on gaining a free new one.

Was I able to find the javelins? I'm ready to head out either way, but if I was successful I'd like to add them to my profile so I don't forget.

Yes, javelins are easy enough to find.

Thanks! I’m going to spend 8 gold on 6 javelins with amentum and a quiver or sack for carrying them.

Spellcraft for 2nd level spell: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Just enough!

Junior, if you want to reallocate a background rank into Linguistics, feel free, just let me know which skill you're moving it from.

I'd like to do that too. We talked about it but I forgot....

I'll take it from the Background skill Knowledge-Geography.

I will take it out of Acrobatics, I'll get it updated later.

Acrobatics isn't a background skill, are you sure you want to take an adventuring skill rank for that?

Perform skills are background skills though, so as a bard/skald he’s probably using them for that and would rather give up an adventuring skill point?

Acrobatics isn't a background skill, are you sure you want to take an adventuring skill rank for that?

Absolutely. I'm already using adventuring skill points to give me more ranks in background skills, whats one more? I have three different perform skills and craft weapons as my background skills. While the perform isn't really needed or useful right now, it will be later. I'll take craft until my RP goal of reforging energetic inferno is complete.

....and Greta splats the spittle!

Say that three times fast! :) (just the "splats the spittle" part....

Eep! At least if you go dowm, Benedic, you have no choice but at accept my song giving you some more wiggle room while unconscious.

It was fair to wail on him; Benedic ran right up in the middle of them. I had been thinking I should have him protect Junior, but Junior's got more hp and AC than he does, so maybe he's just out for glory. :)

lol, I was wondering.

So... if my AoO and readied attack didn't get used in the first round, does that mean I get to roll new ones for round 2?

Yeah, you can roll new ones. As a heads up, I don't know if I'm going to get to a post tonight. I got some pretty upsetting news that I need to deal with asap.

Hope, hugs and hiccups (needed another h to make you smiles) to help.

:( Take your time, we'll be here. And thank you for the heads up.

Sorry for your stress! Best wishes to you and yours!

Agreed. Take care of yourself. We'll be here when you have time again!

Yeah take your time. We’ll be here. I hope everything works out.

Hope everything gets sorted out. We'll be here.

I don't really have anything to add, but echo what everyone else is saying. Take care of yourself and/or those you need to.

Tristan grins. The Inquisitor accesses the situation immediately. He calls out,

I suggest that we retreat behind the barricades and draw them out. We don't want a log jam!

re: purple

About to fall asleep, so no post tonight. I'll try and find some time tomorrow. Good progress through this combat so far, though, even with a lot of combatants.

Selann made me jealous, BTW. Color Spray is my favorite low level spell. I managed some great hits in a Rise of the Runelords game for which I made a sorceress that I really enjoyed. Then that game fizzled early and I was left with a sorceress with a crazy good spell, but no one to cast it on :(
