Take care of your family and yourself, this is only a game; we can wait a few days!
Yep, no rush here if you need some time, GM. Hope everyone is on the mend!
Won't be able to post until Wednesday.
I'm hoping everyone is getting through this and healing nicely.
Hmm
I don't think there's anyone proficient in heavy armor?
Let me know if anyone wants to affix the fear gem talisman to their weapon.
I know that I only get Medium Armor proficiency as a war priest.
If you want to camp now, I'll let you move the rune to someone else's armor.
I'll defer to our casters and folks with limited use/day abilities on whether we camp now or wait a little longer as Clover is good either way :)
Ephie is good to keep going. Being that we were just attacked by a spectral cat this doesn't seem like a safe place in general.

+1 Hero Point to Rulean for braving the bat poo.
I'll be on vacation this Friday evening.
It will be a very busy vacation, as I have a job interview next week, and I'm moving home the week after.
I might be a few days without internet, but I guess I'll be back at the end of the month. Will try to post when I can.
Good luck with the move & interview!
Modem/router is *dying*.
Internet service has gone from reliable to utter cluster.
No guarantees on being able to get on.
Apologies in advance.
Hope to be back soon but no promises.
I'm moonlighting tonight, so I may not be able to move the action until tomorrow.
Hang in there, both of you!
There's a lot of Fortitude saves going on in this latest post.
EVERYONE has to make a Fortitude DC 16 vs. sickened 1 (2 on a CF) first due to the xulgath stench.
Rulean, Clover, and Snowy then need to make a Fortitude DC 16 vs. Slow 1 (2 on CF) and also take -2 to Fortitude saves vs. poison for 1 minute.
Clover then needs to make two Fortitude DC 18 saves vs. poison.
Failing 1 makes her Fatigued.
Crit Failing 1 makes her Fatigued and Unconscious.
Failing 2 makes her Fatigued and Unconscious.
Good luck!
...and yes, there's a second gelatinous cube Harlock didn't know about.
Wow, that is stacking things up a lot.
Hope no one catches whatever disease they are carrying. In any case, we probably will want to retreat back downstairs after this to rest.
Just want to make sure I understand, the mucus on these xulgath aren’t signs of a disease but rather concentrated nerve poison?
Basically. They don't say *what* kind of toxin--just the variety of effects based on how it's administered to the victim--but it's goop they secrete on purpose.
Oh. You could also flee down the Stairs. That requires a DC 18 Acrobatics check to not fall down the stairs, if you were to go that way.
I say we kill it!
I'm good with either option, though if we decide to kill it I'd like to lure it somewhere with a little more space for everyone to spread out, if possible :)
Um…Ephie why did you go down the stairs? The hallway continues to the south. It is shown on the overall map we got.
Sorry, guess I didn’t spell it out clearly enough. Too tired right now to take my turn, but tomorrow I’ll try to figure something out.
I thought to cleverly duck into the stairwell and then pop out behind it when it inevitably chased the rest of the party along the hallway!
Alright, we can try that. Splitting the focus of the cube would help a lot.
^Works for me!

I'll give you a new map today so you can move around better for this round.
New map.

In case folks haven't seen it yet, our Gameday XI convention has been officially announced! You can find all the deets here --> Gameday XI Announcement. Go forth and roll much dice!
Heads Up:
I'll be leaving town on Friday for a week. I expect to be able to post at least once per day (probably in my evening time), but Saturday and next Friday are likely to be bereft of wi-fi.
Have a good trip!
Safe travels! :)
Enjoy your trip! No worries if you can’t post each day.
Ephie may be able to make a check next round, Nabi. I say”may” because he might be repositioning or engulfed.

That's some inside(r) knowledge!
Thank you for your dedication! ^^| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
It looks like my Internet is back and more stable. Will post in the morning, hopefully!

While it was immune to critical damage, it was not immune to being turned into a slowly moving ice cube. :)
It happens to matter where you choose to tend your wounds and what Nabi does with her free time, depending on what room you're in.
Ephie looks into the pit!

I'll roll up initiative tomorrow,
...but, I mean, they're fixated on Nabi, so you could always sacrifice her. ;)

Whether whoever came up with grothluts intended it this way or not, it's no damage on a save.

I should get familiar sleeves or whatever for Mr. Splinters. Though I de enjoy watching pieces of him disintegrate.

Just put him in a cage! :)
Quick repair not going to be enough time to get Mr. Splinters back up while we’re here?
A loud gong went off ~6 seconds ago. I wanted you all to make an informed decision about where to heal/repair.
So the secret door is in the area that has some magic?
Correct. The secret door is inside the arc of the runes on the floor.
The door is not on Harlock's map, but you could come to the conclusion that the door connects the two chambers with runes on them somehow.

Apologies for the unplanned delay. I had to regain inertia.
I mass rolled the stench to keep things moving. Everyone who might want to use a Hero Point to avoid the Sickened 1 condition has one to use, if you choose. Feel free to roll that at the top of your post, if you want to use it.
Enfeebled 1
You're physically weakened. Enfeebled always includes a value. When you are enfeebled, you take a status penalty equal to the condition value to Strength-based rolls and DCs, including Strength-based melee attack rolls, Strength-based damage rolls, and Athletics checks.
Frightened 2
You’re gripped by fear and struggle to control your nerves. The frightened condition always includes a value. You take a status penalty equal to this value to all your checks and DCs. Unless specified otherwise, at the end of each of your turns, the value of your frightened condition decreases by 1.
Sickened 1
You feel ill. Sickened always includes a value. You take a status penalty equal to this value on all your checks and DCs. You can't willingly ingest anything—including elixirs and potions—while sickened.
You can spend a single action retching in an attempt to recover, which lets you immediately attempt a Fortitude save against the DC of the effect that made you sickened. On a success, you reduce your sickened value by 1 (or by 2 on a critical success).
All three conditions impose Status penalties, so as I understand it I only take the greatest value of the penalties.
Sickened is all checks and DCs.
Frightened is the same.
Enfeebled is strength based attack, damage, and Athletics checks. It is more limited but is the only one that affects damage.
So next round, I will be at:
-2 to all checks and DCs
-1 to all Str-based damage
After that round, the frightened is reduced. On Round 3 it might be worth an action to get rid of the sickened condition. Assuming I don’t need to ingest anything, there is no benefit to doing it earlier than that.
Corrections welcome!
Looks correct on your assessment of the penalties.
Something that I forgot: you take a -2 penalty to get rid of sickened while within 30 ft of any xulgath.

Happy to bot leaf if needed.
Edit: just went ahead and did it.
