Shel has diplomacy.

She also doesn’t care if they leave lol

shel ain't got the time or the *&^(s to give. haha.

Sorry I spent a lot of time on the Plague House making sure it's lighting was set right, since it's more 'dungeon 'like' and little on the ambush site.

I'll fix it soon this morning.

Spell casters please roll the saves of your targets for your spell so everyone knows. How they are reacting. (That's why their save modifiers are listed)

This has been a public service announcement

Roll20 can be finicky. I always forget just how to edit things as a DM on there, because I only DM once a month xD so I feel your pain.

try it now.

good to go!

Yes, that fixed it. Thank you!

Awesome, thank you!

sorry the post took so long, I was trying to figure out how to put a rectangle on the map to show the entangle. I failed. And I don't play a lot of casters or characters with animal companions. I think I did the post right but if anyone sees something I missed or could have done better please say something :)

almost got the entangle all marked in. but at least the outline is there. 40' radius ;)

Thanks!

Sorry folks, the game play thread wasn't showing any posts on my campaign page, I will get caught up!

edit:Man, so embarrassing, If I don't post within 24 hrs, someone shoot me a PM I'm on this thing eight or ten times a day...

I just realized Imara has a 10 con, as a melee character in this AP. That's gonna be scary.

As times goes on it'll be ok. I'm big about playing the bad guess as to type.

Because in many cases she won't look like biggest threat so she won't draw as many attacks and her ac will be very good.

true, but I'm worried largely for the first book and 2nd book. It will be interesting :3

yeah the few extra hitpoints wont hinder her.

Yeah, it's a risk, but I wanted those points in other stats so badly! We'll see how it goes. Assuming she makes it out of this combat! Once she gets some access to magic (via items and wands), that should help a lot.

Only 1 remaining let's see if Rydell hacks that one down

Forgot to mention earlier, Shel - thank you for the heals!

A question on leveling up, Rory will take a second animal companion at second level, how do we work that into the game? My assumption is that his dad has a second young wolf from their 'kennel' that he has been working with and is bringing it to town. Can we work that into the narrative either before or after we go to the 'plague house?'

Perhaps phoenix has a friend? Or knows a larger chicken?

Phoenix's final form

Level up-

HP: +8 (21)
Saves:
+1 fort, +1 Ref
+1 BaB

Skills: +6+1
Perception: +1
Survival: +1
Stealth: +1
Know. Dungeoneering: +1
Swim: +1
Spellcraft: +1
Know. Nature: +1

Combat Style: Archery. Feat: Precise Shot

Was Imara the only one injured? I’ll just use another scroll on her if no one else needs healing.

Ovril can cast Cure Light Wounds one time today. He also has a couple of CLW scrolls, in case things go south. I didn't cast it in combat as Ovril was threatened and unable to do a move action into a CLW without provoking an AoO.

Level up:
HP + 8
+ 1: BAB, Fort and Ref saves, first level spells per day and orisons and first level spells known, to minutes of animal focus

Precise Companion: outflank, Track

+ 1 skills: craft: (armor) Knowledge (dungeoneering) lore: (Belkzen) perception, ride, stealth, survival, swim

A second animal companion (same stats)

Yes Imara was the only one injured. She's now at 5 out of 8 with her level up coming. You'll find out soon enough there's also 6 cure light wounds potions

As for the other wolf...ok let's roll play it this way, have a group of guardsmen come out because they heard the screaming and bring you your other wolf.

Cool, are you good with me assuming Rory's dad dropped it of to them?

So also looking at training, when we started Thistle was fully trained. Can I assume 'Storm' (a Male) was trained by his dad, or will Rory need to train it as we go?

Sadly, at the moment, he will also have no armor.

we can say that. sure. does he live in town? We can assume you participated in the training so he responds to your commands.

please copy and paste the stat block, updating your portion of it.

Thank you.

So dad lives outside of town, in a hobbit halfling hole, families been here for generations. Last of a along line of wolf riders :)

Rory's staying in town wants to prove he can make it on his own, but see's Dad pretty regular either when he goes out to visit or when Dad comes to town for supplies or to help train the new recruits.

Thistle remains the same,

Storm is the same as her except he has an AC 14 (no armor yet) will fix that as soon as we can get to town and spend a little money :)

Has anyone started a spread sheet for wealth yet?

note each character gains 1 Hero Point levelling so everyone has 2. the max you can have is 3. so dont hesitate to use them. There are times I may grant a hero point to a character for something extraordinary.

but heres what they can be used for-

Hero Points can be spent at any time and do not require an action to use (although the actions they modify consume part of your character’s turn as normal). You cannot spend more than 1 hero point during a single round of combat. Whenever a hero point is spent, it can have any one of the following effects.

Act Out of Turn]/B]: You can spend a hero point to take your turn immediately. Treat this as a readied action, moving your initiative to just before the currently acting creature. You may only take a move or a standard action on this turn.

[B]Bonus: If used before a roll is made, a hero point grants you a +8 luck bonus to any one d20 roll. If used after a roll is made, this bonus is reduced to +4. You can use a hero point to grant this bonus to another character, as long as you are in the same location and your character can reasonably affect the outcome of the roll (such as distracting a monster, shouting words of encouragement, or otherwise aiding another with the check). Hero Points spent to aid another character grant only half the listed bonus (+4 before the roll, +2 after the roll).

Extra Action: You can spend a hero point on your turn to gain an additional standard or move action this turn.

Inspiration: If you feel stuck at one point in the adventure, you can spend a hero point and petition the GM for a hint about what to do next. If the GM feels that there is no information to be gained, the hero point is not spent.

Recall: You can spend a hero point to recall a spell you have already cast or to gain another use of a special ability that is otherwise limited. This should only be used on spells and abilities possessed by your character that recharge on a daily basis.

Reroll: You may spend a hero point to reroll any one d20 roll you just made. You must take the results of the second roll, even if it is worse.

Special: You can petition the GM to allow a hero point to be used to attempt nearly anything that would normally be almost impossible. Such uses are not guaranteed and should be considered carefully by the GM. Possibilities include casting a single spell that is one level higher than you could normally cast (or a 1st-level spell if you are not a spellcaster), making an attack that blinds a foe or bypasses its damage reduction entirely, or attempting to use Diplomacy to convince a raging dragon to give up its attack. Regardless of the desired action, the attempt should be accompanied by a difficult check or penalty on the attack roll. No additional hero points may be spent on such an attempt, either by the character or her allies.

Cheat Death: A character can spend 2 hero points to cheat death. How this plays out is up to the GM, but generally the character is left alive, with negative hit points but stable. For example, a character is about to be slain by a critical hit from an arrow. If the character spends 2 hero points, the GM decides that the arrow pierced the character’s holy symbol, reducing the damage enough to prevent him from being killed, and that he made his stabilization roll at the end of his turn. Cheating death is the only way for a character to spend more than 1 hero point in a turn. The character can spend hero points in this way to prevent the death of a familiar, animal companion, eidolon, or special mount, but not another character or NPC.

Do we "gain" our new HP right away? That is, does she go from 5/8 to 9/12? Or is it 5/12? I've had this vary from DM to DM, so I'm double checking.

Thanks for the hero point reminder - I had completely forgotten about them. None of my previous GMs have used them.

Can Imara still take the 1/2+1 HP option?

Can Imara still take the 1/2+1 HP option?

What is this?

yes everyone can always roll for hp and if above can keep and if below can take the default.

ie...Imara has a D8 she can roll and if she gets a 6-8 keep the 6-8...if its 5 or below she can take the 5. so 1/2 +1 is the lowest HP anyone can get.

you gain the HP right away.

cool. I wasn't sure if it was one or the other. I'll go for a roll then I suppose.

hp: 1d10 ⇒ 5 huh. lol.

Oh! I didn't read the original recruitment post carefully enough. Yes, she'll take the +5 HP instead, then!

So, she's at 11/14. I'll update her profile.

It never hurts to roll...in case

It never hurts to roll...in case

true that

lucky?: 1d8 ⇒ 7Yay!

Shel can prepare detect magic as a cantrip. She doesn’t have it right now because there was no story reason for her to.

Rory has it prepped, what do we need to check? I'll go read the game thread

I dunno what’s going on. I was working all day and I come back to 30 new posts in one day. I’ll work on catching up and leveling up Shel tomorrow.

lol, only 30? :)

GM, you mentioned guards showing up with Storm, do you want to narrate that or should I. Would they collect the bodies of the assassins for us if they come this way?

Group, are we considering going back to town to spend money now or are we still going to the plague house?

For my vote, it would depend on how much daylight we have left.
