Infiltrator's Thieves' Tools Give to Chani since they can use a tome when we need something unlocked. Doesn’t look like anyone has a good thievery skill

Still think this is the best place for the Infiltrator’s Tools.

I would agree with that. I'll mark that down.

Also, I have armor potency, so that doesn't need to be gotten for me.

Also have a demon mask to sell, which I did. Put the fork back to clover. Assigned the bracelet.

Song should get an armor potency since Chani doesn't need one. I believe even casters should have it as a priority as 1 AC can mean the difference between a crit or now. (Ephie has a wand of mage armor).

I believe everyone now has +1 item bonus to AC, and everyone but Ephie has a striking rune.

We have 134 GP left.

Updated my profile including the Botting section.

@GM Blake,
Went for simpler Shield Block botting.

Use Shield Block in following cases:
* Does 8 or less damage to the shield
* does not break the shield and prevents him from going unconscious
* last opponent and it does not break the shield

Is that description clear enough?

Wow. Thanks for your hard work on this!

Song's profile has been updated for the runes and other items.

I have not yet removed that Magic Weapon spell, as rules wise I have to wait until Level 6 to remove it.

Question to the GM: Can we assign some of the rocks and bramble removal to other members of our circus, or do we need to make skill checks for it?

Yes. There are no checks required. It's one of those menial tasks handled by the NPCs. That's not to say you can't pitch in and show your fellows that being put in charge hasn't gone to your head, but the task finishes in a week no matter what.[/ooc]

Apologies. I forgot to answer the question about Retraining. It takes 7 days of Downtime to retrain a spell outside the free replacement at even levels. You've had 5 days of Downtime since you started working on the valley, so 2 more non-adventuring days and you can replace it.

That fight is definitely not easy. You can bypass it for now. However, it is certainly concerningly close to where you are going to set up the circus.

EDIT: I am also amused how the authors designed an ecology that changes based on what the players do (kill). The will-o'-wisps' presence kept this thing restricted to the back of the swamp.

Hah. That is cool.

Clover's profile has been updated to account for the new runes and other items :)

Perhaps Song will get some use out of Magic Weapon yet.

Yes, I was considering that. Who wants a Magic Weapon today?

"Clubs" can be found nearby and far enough to not initiate combat if you choose.

Am I able to Exploit Vulnerability before the battle?

Apparently so.

Looks like we ID'd in a post already. Ephie is ready for combat

I'm going to try to clear some tasks off of my plate tomorrow, so initiatives will probably be either Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

That works well with my schedule. Wednesdays tend to be busy.

"Yeah, the boss doesn't have much time on Wednesdays either."

That was a DC 21 Reflex Save on the animated assault. Oops, sorry for forgetting to put that in.

Is Chani going to wait to see what Clover does?

"Poor" pudding is getting pounded due to his massive DEX penalty.

Really, if the pudding was any good it would be rich.

Mostly I am waiting to see what the pudding does.

If it comes over here and fights, that is fine. I'll engage after that - probably along side Clover.

If it wants to stay there and continue getting pummeled by ranged attacks and spells, that's even better.

Edit: Delay for now. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough about that earlier.

If that nat-1 would break my mace, I would like to hero point that if possible. Go ahead and roll that for me if you need.

No worse damage than a fail. However, your break threshold is 10.

He asks Rulean, "Xulgaths?"

Oh, man, I keep forgetting! Remember to take Chani to the Aeon Orb so he can get his perma-buff when you have a couple of free days. :)

REFLECTION OF LIFE RESONANT REFLECTION 5
HEALING MAGICAL
You regain double the normal number of Hit Points when
resting (meaning you regain double your Constitution
modifier multiplied by your level). The healing you gain
from long-term rest is similarly doubled. In addition, you
can focus this healing energy to accelerate your body’s
natural healing processes even further.
Activate [two-actions] envision; Frequency once per day; Effect
You gain fast healing 3 for 1 minute. This amount of fast
healing increases by 1 for every 2 levels you have beyond
5th level.

Troglodytes

Actually, I wasn't aware of the new name. Though I am aware that a lot of things are getting new names or entirely replaced.

But in-character, Chani hasn't ever encountered them either - at least not in a setting where he recognizes them by name. So all good fun.

Is that a free feat on all of our characters?

Looks like it was called a blessing. But yes.

Okay, I have been distracted by a freelance assignment. But I've added a category for Blessing Feats with that particular Blessing on the google doc that contains Song's character sheet so that I will at least have that on her future character sheets.

Yes. The original crew all got it at the end of the tower fight. AP includes that any new PCs--new players or replacements for dead or retired characters--can return to the tower and gain the blessing.

Can we just say that we did it and start Chani off with it?

Awww. That's no fun. ;)

Alright, we'll do the excursion! It'll be a good chance to see if our changes did any good in the area.

I'm in the crunch period for my current Paizo project, affectionately known as Mumble, Mumble, NDA. And prepping for PaizoCon. At the same time.

Bot me as needed.

I have some personal issues that are piling up this week that are slowing me down. My apologies.

Oh, and, yes, we can definitely hand wave Chani's trip to the aeon orb or retcon it to apply currently.

I don't think terrain stalker works after we announce our presence though.

. . . as long as they aren’t actively Searching or on guard.

Exactly.

Mr. Splinters lies on the ground, very still, grinning and making plans.

Of all the posts ever posted, this is the most terrifying...

Hopefully, Song's post lays to rest the question of whether we are from the circus or not.

Family is going on a vacation this weekend, so things will move slowly, if at all over the holiday.

Safe travels and have a good time!

Maybe we should break since it is PaizoCon weekend?

Also... Wei Ji, are you still reading? I would love to have my brother back!

He messaged me, and I believe he will be returning pretty soon.

Oh, yeah, that thing that happens in meat space. Yes. Let's officially pause for the weekend/con.

PaizoCon is actually online this year... But yes, pausing for weekend would be awesome.

"Been thinking about some things and making sure we don't have any mold or fungus infestations in our camp."

Just caught up yesterday, getting back into things. Mr. Splinters' 'recon' had me nearly falling out of my chair.

Hey folks, I'm heading out of town to a convention today and won't be home until Monday afternoon at some point. I'll be taking my Chromebook with me as I expect I'll have some downtime between sessions to check in on the forums. All that said, please feel free to bot Clover as needed!

I know the GM said it was okay, but Leaf-On-Wind is asking the question ICly about being ready to perform because he doesn't know we have that okay.
