I'm also having some trouble writing Swaggy's lines. It's challenging to write everything in Rhymes. But to also make it goblin speech? Wished i thought of it earlier, sheesh!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I may not have an opportunity to post anything tomorrow due to the festivities.
Happy thanksgiving for those in the US. For the others, like myself, happy Thursday!
Just waiting a bit longer to see if Swaggy wants to do anything.
Sorry, was slightly delayed in posting due to getting a new pc, but I have it now :)
Is everything all right with everyone? It's a bit quiet here.
Sorry, I was originally waiting to kill Tsuto until Ameiko had a chance to see what is going to happen. She'll giddily take the shot if no one stops her. I'll post her attack roll but feel free to intervene if anyone wants to do so! :)
Why, is he important to Ameiko or something? She didn't seem to indicate it in her Haiku's.
Oh well, I guess I'll eventually find out on the other campaign. :)
...Unless it's actually her brother...
We would have no idea if they're related or not, and I'd always prefer to kill an obvious enemy rather than try to deal with the hassle of capturing them or leaving them free to plot against us later. Especially when we're goblins! :)
That is quite true :) Eat first, ask questions later?
Sounds like a plan! Based on Swaggy's last post, I'd figured Ameiko was being shielded by some of the groupies and couldn't see what was happening. Will update momentarily.
Hmm, appears the Paizo boards didn't want to show me stuff was moving. Oh well, now they did and Batry is on top of the book. Or not really, he doesn't want the yucky blood all over him.
It's why he prefers ranged weaponry.
May I suggest putting the thing carrying the room down against a wall or something? That way Batry can shot from there. Would probably catch them by surprise as well.
Who is carrying the dimensional door thing? Is it Swaggy? I'm guessing it's Swaggy.
Just checking in to see if anyone's planning to post or if everyone's waiting on me. XD I know things typically slow down over the holidays, so I don't want to rush anyone.
Batry is inside the extradimensional room so I first need to know where the thing is before I can do anything. Batry might not even know there is a combat as of yet.
Very true. In that case, we're just waiting for Chamba/Swaggy to post in gameplay.
I placed Chambawamba on the map and asked who was carrying the extradimensional door. I was assuming it's Swaggy, but if it's 'Wamba she'll set it down before she rushes forward to where I put her.
Sorry, I thought the previous post of our benevolent dictator meant combat was triggered so was waiting on it to start.
But! Last mine bluff to avert the goblin stealth mission failing? :) Posted!
...By the way, I should also mention that my posting rate for the next two weeks or so might be lower. My newborn son is now recovering from his surgeries in earnest and is now awake like a normal baby - he needs someone to constantly be there. I'm taking turns doing this with the factulty staff, since his mom is also currently hospitalized. This means I don't have that much time to post in general, at least until he can come home and I can stay at home near a computer, but I'll try to keep up.
Not a problem at all. Real life comes first - especially when family's involved. I hope they make a full recovery with no complications.
Like the GM said, no stress. Hopefully they'll both be making speedy recoveries so you can move out of the hospital and start to heal at home.
Thanks, guys. Posted, and finally finished statting his troop. Summary is in the last post and full stat breakdown is in the profile under its own section.
Feel free to bot me to speed things up if I seem to miss a day, Swaggy will likely just use destructive blast or the cure sphere after activating his buffs.
Meery Christmas guys!
And if you don't do Christmas, well, I guess have a nice weekend?
Merry Chrismahannukwanza, everyone! Apologies for the delay. In addition to the expected holiday stuff, my wife tested positive for Covid. It's only a minor case, fortunately, but we're still stuck in quarantine for a bit.
Gameplay will be updated shortly.
Oh no! I hope you all get better soon and that you have a merry season together.
belated merry x-mas! Good to hear it's only a minor case, must be a relief.
I've updated the map, but there's nothing to see yet. XD You're in a 5ft-wide tunnel, so give me a rough marching order so I can place you. You can RP as desired as you walk along, but once I update gameplay, we'll basically be going straight into a combat.
Chambawamba is in front, I imagine.
How high is the tunnel? As in, can I ride Snookums without having to duck all the time?
If so Batry and Snookums would be towards the back together. If not, Batry would hang in the back while Snookums walks near Chamba.
Oh, and Batry will discourage singing.
The tunnel ceiling is approximately 8ft high. Since goblins are Small, you should be able to ride Snookums without much trouble. XD
Map's been updated, so feel free to move about as desired. XD
Sorry, accidentally rolled the initiative intimidate twice!
I couldn't log in again after the site shutdown until I cleared my browser's cache of all items and all cookies, but that solved the problem. Sharing that here in case any of us are having the same issue!
I had the same problem! Just in case, options which clear temporary internet files or all cookies did not appear to work for me. I had to manually select the paizo cookies and delete them.
If you use Chrome, it's in Settings > Cookies and other site data > See all cookies and site data. Then pick paizo and manually delete it.
Same problem; I literally just finished fixing the issue. New post will be up shortly.
Apparently people who don't have an RSS service set up can't see these posts with the solution in them, since they can't log in to see what topics have been updated recently.
Just checking in really quick. I'm guessing Cuan's dealing with the login issue, and I don't have a way to reach them. :-( Since Chamba retroactively made her save, I'll wait a little longer before updating in case she wants to try eating the monster or something. XD
Whew, glad 'Wamba didn't get kissed!
Sorry about the slowness. Login issues got paired with a few rather exhausting weeks at work for me. First time I'm in charge of teaching programming to the new trainees at work instead of just assisting. It's a rather big and tiring difference.
Glad to have you back! There's definitely been a fair bit of IRL craziness lately. Make sure you get some rest - as an educator, I know how exhausting teaching can be.
Welcome back! But don't overdo it if you feel you need rest :)
I'm very curious how we'll fare against the bat lady/quasit. I suspect the only one able to reliably break through her DR will be Chamba but the quasit can fly.
I'm sure you'll figure something out. In my experience, groups often find a creative solution since she's resistant/immune to so many things.
This does give me an in character reason to pick up the Destruction Sphere with Shape Focus drawback asap though. The shape of choice would be Energy Strike so that Batry can only channel the magic through his weapon.
Out of character I had already figured that would be a good move, but having an ic reason makes it better.
Well, this does give me an opportunity to try out the debuff side of Swaggy rather than the buffing one :) Didn't exactly built him for it, but being able to apply a 10 round sicken and stack that with black magic and the troop challenge seems pretty potent? Even if we only deal small amounts of damage, if she can't act we'll get there eventually...?
The only real downside is that irradiance is apparently a forced 35 foot radius if used for the nauseation chance so she can fairly easily get most of us inside of it by flying to the middle of the room...
That's exactly the purpose of this encounter. XD Paizo's using Book One to teach certain game fundamentals, and this is how newbies learn about DR and resistances/immunities. I'll share how my last group defeated her once y'all are done. XD
I'll give Batry a bit longer to post. Time zones mean they typically post super early in the morning relative to me, so I'll update after I wake up tomorrow.
I kinda feel bad for this thing. So many horrible conditions being piled up at once while you're slowly getting eaten and your eyes pokes out XD
Hey everyone, wanted to drop a note here, my newborn son was finally released from the hospital after a 20 week admission. He's doing well and settling in with us, which means my posting time has gone down quite a lot. I might not be as frequent as usual, my apologies :)
It's very good news though.
Must have been very stressful the last almost half year. So I'd say relax, enjoy and come visit us when you can :)
