Guys. I had a healthy scare today at the hospital. I'm alright, but wiped. Bot me as needed until tomorrow.
Hope you are well man, no worries we are here.
You are on the top portion towards the right hand side.
Yes- the combat map is on slide 9- they are 20-35 feet from you depending on which of them and which of you-- closest to you is 20 ft (would need to move 15 ft forward to threaton)

I'm feeling much better now, Cheyhanne. Thank you!
Gribblix, very good to hear you are well.

On a different note guys - it seems the whole group has no qualms in using deadly force against all opponents we have encountered so far Including this Harmonium patrol who, as misguided or obsessed as they may be, are still akin to a town guard, and using non-lethal damage against us.
Is the use of deadly force an oversight, or your characters really are ok with risking leaving dead bodies in our wake?
Going non-lethal wasn’t even on my radar. I hadn’t noticed that they were doing non-lethal - I thought any notation of non-lethal was a carry over from the crowd press.
Or, as Avesska would say: “I have a sword. Swords are the only weapons humans made that are distinctly not agriculturally derived, nor used in hunting; they were made expressly and only, for killing other humans...So that’s what I’m doing.”[/b]
Gribblix was just defending a fellow Small when he gutted that bariar. Now the urban druid KNOWS that cutting a harmonium can only lead to bad news, so Gribblix is just playing 'keep away' from the city guard.

Glutton has no problem killing people, especially clueless Hardheads who stray to the wrong side of town. Despite being the 'town guard' their stated purpose in Sigil and the entire planes for that matter is to force everyone to live by their rules. And if you disagree well then its ok for you to be 'educated' or eliminated. There are good Harmonium that will try to persuade you to their way but all too often you find fascists.
I know I didn't cover this in my backstory but Glutton would have been targeted by the Harmonium for being a tiefling and/or a Bleaker.
Cheyanne doesn't know enough and isn't very smart. (As a player I will often lean on that answer for any player-errors, because it is a challenge for me to play someone quite this unintelligent and clueless...)
That said, it isn't something I had thought about much, so I will say she hadn't either. She would do what she could to be defensive first, merciful second, and only get in trouble if no other options were there. However, Cheyanne doesn't really know much about the laws (as they are) in Sigil. She probably would have behaved well enough in the week since she arrived (with the exception of acquiring her original gear in...unorthodox ways) that she stayed out of trouble.
Now though, it appears all bets are off.
That said, I'm not opposed to either lethal or nonlethal violence. I'll try to note that in the posts - Throrgar should say something to her about it. She would be responsive.
For now I don't see Throrgar as much of an advisor - he's more about the right and wrong side of things. And as a minotaur, not all fights mean something to him, or perhaps even better, not every opponent means something to him.
So killing a guard doing (or thinking he is doing) his duty would seem meaningless to him, and would not make him proud.
But I am sure the conversation will come up sooner or later.
And by the way, the question was from the player's perspective (me), and not Throrgar - I just thought people could be forgetting we could fight with non-lethal attacks to save us trouble further down the line. Of course, as a brawler I am at an advantageous position since I do not take the -4 penalty, at least while using my fists. So I can more easily take the 'higher ground' :D
Cheyanne could do the same with her unarmed strikes, though so far I haven't focused on them.
Good to have in mind, though.
I realize I posted one post there on my other GM profile, apologies hopefully that didn't confuse anyone.
I've started separating GM profiles because the headers get too clogged/cluttered for showing the Slides links. (and this one for flavor reasons as well since the Mimir is a thing in Planescape)
All good Mimir/Ox, I barely registered, focusing instead on the MADNESS!!!
Will get to Journal momentarily barmy berks!
No answer yet from Rankev, hopefully he rejoins us shortly.
It could still be the weekend for him since it's Martin Luther Kind Jr day in the US. You can always bot his saves if we need to move on.
Guys I am unable to post in Gameplay for some reason...
Over the next week (from tomorrow through the morning of Monday, 25 JAN) I will be underway (out to sea) for work (I'm Active Duty US Navy).
I may or may not have any internet access. Please Bot me as needed. I will be posting once more tonight, at least.
Thanks for understanding and I will see you in a week (or earlier - cross your fingers)!
Avesska- feel free to move your own figure on combat maps; its set to editable by the link.
(Though if you're updating from a phone and can't easily move them around that's fine too)

When you were trying to make your post, were you just posting dice rolls?
I was.
Someone else had the same issue.
Sounds like if you have any other text in the post it will go through but if it's only dice it won't go on certain gameplay threads.
I’m back in the land of cell and internet service. Will be catching up today. Thanks for the patience, everyone!
Welcome back Cheyanne!
Hope everything went smoothly.
Welcome back, just in time to save Throrgar. But maybe Cheyanne has her own wolves to worry about.
Double checking-- Avesska- your dire zone is 10 ft. centered on you, correct?
I believe that leaves the wolf Chayanne almost crit out of it, but want to double check I've got the ability correct here.
Edit: Actually ends up being irrelevant, the non-crit damage is enough to kill it, but for future reference.
Edit again: whew! Actually, Rankev's force missile is enough to get it, so stepping Cheyanne up and applying her almost crit to the Dire wolf!
@Mimir: yes centred on me however it *only* applies to my attacks, not my allies/others.
Ah! Fair, I was thinking it did- will remember. Didn't end up mattering either way.
I hate to say this but doesn't Gribblix need to make a caster level check? At CL 0 no less since we're one plane over from his source.
No- Alterations by school applies to Arcane Magic.
Caster level reductions apply to Divine Magic.
He should have cast them as a 0th level caster though and not added the +1.
Only a few of the most "important" restrictions apply to both Arcane and Divine (No teleporting in Sigil, and summoning creatures from within one plane).
I guess I always thought that was weird and never played that way, sorry for the confusion.
Yeah, no worries- it can absolutely be played either way- I'm just going with this interpretation (I don't actually want to put you guys places without any access to healing).
Sorry for no posts from me the last two days - work and home got busy suddenly. I am reading up from where I last posted and will have something shortly.
Bjorn Jorlsen-- a brewar from Ysgard...
Jorge Pickerson-- a winemaker from Elysium...
Joe Figus: a halfling cobbler petitioner from Bytopia...
Harley Mechaschnauzz: the gnome is a petitioner from Mechanus...
Nerus Nixus: the weasel-ly looking smith is from the Iron City on Dis, the second layer of Baator...
Boris Trill: the furrier from the Gray Wastes...
As a DM, I know that several of the home-planes of these guys are bad, bad news. As a player, Cheyanne knows NOTHING. I am going to go ahead and roll un-trained checks on each of their home planes. If any result is above a "10" is it alright to assume she at least knows something about the general alignments of the planes?
Well, it looks like Cheyanne has only heard a little bit of (good) about Ysgard...anyone else want to speak up?
Glutton doesn't discriminate by plane of origin. She would probably know the general alignments associated with each plane though.
Yes, 10 would equal a common knowledge thing like the general alignment of the planes- and knowing that petitioner's alignment matches their planes.

Just checking - we are using the slow advancement rate, right? So that is still level 1, just about a third of the way to level 2?
Correct, slow advancement rate-- I just have the XP figured by adventure/adventure part, so I'm noting it when we reach the end of one even though there are going to be several per level.
Sorry I haven’t updated our journal as of yet...
Any chance we can get a conversion for Warp Sense? I'm shocked that Planewalker nor Guile's world ever did it.
Proposed conversion loosely based off of detect magic.
School Divination;
Level bard 1, cleric/oracle 1, druid 1, inquisitor 1, magus 1, psychic 1, shaman 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1
Casting Time Full round
Components V, S
Range 60ft
Area cone-shaped emanation
Duration concentration, up to 1 min/level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
You detect portals. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study an area.
1st Round: Presence or absence of a portal.
2nd Round: Number of portals and what type.
3rd Round: The caster can attempt a knowledge planes check DC 25 to determine what plane the other side of the portal is located. If failed she may attempt this check again in one day.
4th Round: If the caster determines the location of the other side of the portal she may attempt another knowledge planes check DC 25 to determine the key to activate the portal. If failed, the caster may attempt this check again in one day.
At the GM’s discretion the DCs for the knowledge planes check may be harder or easier.
Accounting for your house rule splitting up planes knowledge you would need to make the check for that specific plane. This would make the check exceptionally difficult to make so maybe the DC would need to be lower.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yes- absolutely Warp Sense should exist as a spell-- I think the first check should be easier, so probably either DC 10 or 15 for that, but to actually determine the key 25 is still probably correct.
So many inappropriate jokes.
Forgive me for not listening to you Cheyanne and Throrgar. They do need a 19 to hit me and I have to live up to my name after all.
Totally fair - we need to defeat them somehow. I'm just concerned with my current HPs...thinking about drinking a potion.
Prolly do a rogue rogue modron if things go anymore sideways for me.
You should be at -3 not -5, right?
Reflex for half to 10, then 5 Resistance?
