Got my time off approved so barring something unexpected/unfortunate, I'll be there. Since I'd rather not post my plans/itenerary where just anyone can read them, if you're going and interested in meeting up or making plans for a game or a meal or something, shoot me an email, PM on here, or a message on Discord (Lady Ladile - VA, PbP#1112) and we can talk more :)

Don't be sad about being in France! Some day, I will make it to Europe again and visit with all my European OrgPlay friends. It's just so expensive right now!

I'd love to visit Europe again myself. Just a matter of money and finding a travel buddy or two, since my husband is largely a homebody.
(I love him but I will absolutely leave him at home if I need to :P)
GM Blake |
*Weeps*
I wrote a whole post but I must have just Previewed it, and I didn't check because I thought you guys were just busy. *Sniffles*

Yeah I thought everyone was at a con or something!
GM Blake |
OK. I have witnessed the post this time...
Aside: I'm going to just start captioning the banter in other languages. 1) spoilers are hard and 2) it's not like it gives you any tactical advantage. :)

Plus, letting us see the translations gives us some enjoyment factor from the talking, and lets us learn stuff as players.
Haven't been in this positioned of Sickened, does it need to be cleared each turn?
THIS and NEXT week is the convention I won't be able to post effectively from as far as I know at the moment. Currently looking like I won't have reliable access from Thursday through Monday at current rate.
GM Blake |
When you're around xulgaths, you're only immune to the stench if you make the save. It's up to the individual player if they find it more tactically sound to accept the sickened 1 condition vs. spending actions retching.
GM Hmm |
Yeah, I will be gone for PaizoCon and Origins!
Clover Montajay |
As a surprise to no one at this point, I'm at PaizoCon so no guarantees on posting consistency until I get home next week~

Would you please quit dropping people with crits!
I can try...
Rude! What did Clover ever do to him? :P
Looked small, vulnerable, and tasty.

Should be back home to post something tomorrow afternoon if all goes well.

Posting from the airport lounge, waiting to fly home from my trip. PaizoCon was lots of fun, even in a reduced capacity! I'm hoping to get to go back next year.
Once I get home my posting should more or less return to normal. That said, I *also* get to come home and pretty much go right back to work so I may be a bit slow for a few days if things are busy at work.
Leaf-On-Wind |
I was a bit cooked from travel yesterday and the fact that local temperature was forty degrees warmer F than Seattle at one point.
Working something up.
GM Blake |
Apologies. I think Clover would have been in a better position to post last night. Sadly, I was finishing charts.

Have a good trip!
Definitely taking Fleet on the next general feat; could have ended 10' away instead of adjacent. I used to be less keen on Fleet vs Canny Acumen and Toughness but sometimes I wonder…
GM Blake |
Oh. No... it's immune to critical hits. I mean, with that AC, if it wasn't, it wouldn't last long.
GM Doug H |
Sorrry about that. Moved ephie back on the map to where he was for now.
GM Blake |
So you can make an informed decision, Rulean, because I don't see why not:
You'll need to do 7 damage at 1d4+4 to Escape or make an Athletics check vs. DC 21 to Escape. Those numbers hold for anyone who happens to be engulfed except how much damage you're capable of doing will be different.
Leaf-On-Wind |
Given the way the actions have fallen and current position not sure *what* if anything Leaf-On-Wind can do except stand there and get eaten, since shooting can provoke (or am I mixing up editions?) and there's nowhere safe to go to?
Can't even Strike, because each Strike would incur a Save, right?
Rulean |
Not every creature has a reaction. Even those that do only get one reaction. You could just go at it with the bow hoping that they don’t have a reaction that triggers off your making a ranged attack.
Looking at the big map on slide two, the hallway ‘north’ continues so you could move behind Clover or Song.
You could just attack with your beak.
GM Blake |
So, as incongruous as it seems with the historical imagery of gelatinous cubes, it is a creature and so can only do what a creature can do.
You *can* tumble through its space just like you could an ogre.
Making a ranged attack does provoke an AOO, but, as Rulean said, not everything has a reaction.
You might assume touching it would paralyze you, but so far nobody has been paralyzed to give your characters that suspicion, and actually, it doesn't paralyze you for hitting it with an unarmed attack like in AD&D.

A swarm of bats drops from the ceiling above
AHHHHH!
Rulean |
In case I forget it, like I have every round up to this point, I want to use Athletic Rush for the +2 to Athletics on the next round.
Really could use some sort of escape spell for the airport right now, our flight out is delayed by three hours!
GM Blake |
*Cast's expeditious boarding*
The dice have been unfavorable to Rulean. But I think the Escape first and claw second (with the damage range you have) is a good strategy. Athletic Rush is another good idea (watch him roll a Nat 20 after casting it).
I too have a character who is currently engulfed... with a Bulk 1 sword in his hand, so not helpful.

We made it home just before 2:00am. We were supposed to be home by 8:00pm. It was a day of being stuck in the Columbus Airport, which is a very small airport. I walked along Concourse C about 8 times, pacing down an area where all the shops and restaurants were closed.

*Laughs* Did you guys buy vampire bat repellent when I wasn't looking? Or eat garlic for breakfast?

Apologies. I didn't tell this specific group, but my whole house except for me got COVID, which left me to both go to work and do everything else, stretching me thin, and leaving me abnormally scattered.
But I should get on with the next round after my son goes to bed, assuming the site doesn't crash again.
Rulean |
Sorry to hear your family got hit hard by COVID. If you need a day or so just for sanity, that would be alright.
Hope the family is feeling better!
