I will be taking the next several days off from work, where I do most of my posting. My posts will be less frequent until next Wednesday, 12/8.
Alright I believe I have Bertolt successfully updated to level 5. That shield is a huge buff for him, between that and his new ancestry feat his shield is at a whopping 9 hardness now, which means against physical attacks he just got a whole lot tankier.
Could still use thoughts from my fellow party members on what skill to pick up. Medicine/Nature/Religion are all wisdom based so he would be pretty good at those, but I could grab something else if desired.
Bella Lvl 5 highlights:
Abilities Boosts:
Str 8+2=10
Dex 18+1=19
Con: 14+2=16
Wis: 14+2=16
Ancestry feat: Step Lively
Skill Feat: Robust Recovery
Skill Increase: Religion trained->expert
sneak attack 2d6
weapon tricks

Havin another PC able to do Battle Medicine would be helpful.
Just realized I can't bump two skills to expert because raising INT only lets you get a skill to trained (I also need to pick a language).
Swamped with my first few finals, will have all my changes up this weekend sometime.
Gotcha, I'll leave the slow to you then Vengis!
Sounds like not too much interest in downtime. I'm happy to jump straight into the next dungeon dive if you guys are.
Finalizing my spell selections:
Level 3 -
Fear (the 3rd level version that hits multiple targets)
Ooze Form
--------------
Also worth noting: I now have a reaction I can use whenever I would take damage. Since I have no reactions otherwise, I'd like to use this the first time each round I would take any damage. Each time, I would get the following:
Roll a DC 16 flat check. On a success, you gain resistance to all damage equal to your level against the triggering effect, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to saving throws against that effect until the start of your turn, and you gain the dazzled condition for 1 round.
Taking heroism and searing light as my signature spell. Boosting dex, con, wisdom, and charisma, and bumping occultism to expert.
Bertolt would like to spend his downtime educating himself about the modern world, but wouldn't hold up any adventuring for that.

Work was busier than usual today. I'll try to post in this game tomorrow morning.

I will be out of town from 12/18 through 12/26, with limited or no internet access for much of that time. Normal posting will resume when I return on Monday, 12/27.
Have a great trip!
To all of my games:
As predicted with the holidays coming up, my posting will become sporadic until the new year rolls around. I will still be checking in at infrequent times, but I cannot commit to checking daily. Please ping me on Discord if a response is needed, or GMPC me as necessary.
Howdy folks, starting tomorrow I'll be in a little beach town in Oaxaca for some serious chillin' out time, returning on the 9th of January. I may be able to squeeze a post in here and there, but signal/wifi is likely to be spotty at best.
Wow, nice Eyenia! Enjoy the beach!
Looks like we're only missing Eyenia and she mentioned she'd be possibly unable to post above.
(Also, Happy new year all!)
I’m away from my computer until Thursday. I will post then.
Eyenia and Vengis are up.
With the current website issues, I can only login to my account using an Incognito window.
I had luck with clearing the Paizo site cookies on my phone, in case you haven't tried that yet.
Correct, you need to clear your cookies.
I have followed the instructions to clear my cookies, but it hasn't solved my problem.
Yeah, in some of my other PbPs people have been having the same problem with clearing cookies not solving it. :(
It's pretty frustrating.
Ah, that is unfortunate. Perhaps try a different browser as well.
Sorry for missing my earlier post. I've resolved my cookies issue: I needed to click on the padlock icon in chrome (while on a paizo web page), which gave me the option do delete cookies in use. The instructions posted on Paizo's forum were insufficient to resolve the issue.
Yes, the north door just lead to the storeroom.
Short on time today, I'll post on Monday morning.
I will be out of town from Saturday March 12th until Sunday March 20th. I may be able to check in sporadically during this time, but posts will be much less frequent. I will resume normal posting and catch up when I return.
Gotcha Brainiac. Enjoy the trip!
I will be out of town on a vacation along the Oregon Coast from Wednesday 6/8 through Saturday 6/18! I likely won't be able to post very much during that time.
Bertolt Level 6!
Fighter (Bastion) 6
HP: 10 (fighter) +4 (con) = +14, total of 94
Skill Feat: Specialty Crafting (Blacksmithing) - just gives me more bonuses on repairing my shield
Fighter Feat: Shield Warden - now I can block damage for allies
Archetype Feat: Nimble Shield Hand - treat my shield hand as free for all purposes except holding a weapon, won't do much now but can open feats later down the road
Shield Warden is the big one here, now being next to me makes YOU tankier.
All leveled up here too!
Bard 6:
HP +10, all numbers bumped +1
Skill Feat: Unmistakable Lore - When Zetty attempts to Recall Knowledge with one of her Lore skills (like Bardic Lore), she can't get a crit failure.
Bard Feat: Dirge of Doom - cantrip that produces a 30ft frightened 1 aura with no save for foes only
Archetype Feat: Quick Bomber - draw and Strike with bombs as 1 action
Great bookkeeping Zetty. That kind of number crunching keeps games alive and moving!
As for the ghost touch property, I'm not entirely sure how moving over runes works on unique items. GM, could you advise?
"A specific magic weapon lists its fundamental runes, which you can upgrade, add, or transfer as normal. You can't etch any property runes onto a specific weapon that it doesn't already have."
Sorry I'm taking so long levelling up. The Archives of Nethys site is too slow right now for me to look up skill feats efficiently.
AoN has been awful for the last two weeks. You could try this alternative and take a look at the skill feats section. It's a lot faster than AoN too, though navigation is a little weird until you get used to it.
Thanks Zetty, that's much faster!
Bella lvl 6 highlights:
HP +11
Rogue feat: Skirmish Strike
Archetype feat: Expert Cleric Spellcasting (Restoration)
Skill Increase: Nature trained -> expert
Anyone tackling anything else in town (including purchases) before we get back to it?
Level notes:
Class feat: Advanced Revelation
Level 3 spell: Crisis of Faith
Skill feat: Pilgrim’s Token
I'm out of town and only can access on mobile but I feel like I can't afford any big significant purchases. I am good transferring the ghost touch rune to my longsword and maybe buying an alchemist fire or two for swarms (is that still a big problem in 2E?), but otherwise I'm good to go.
It's pretty inevitable that Bella's going to end up dying from one of these Fortitude saves. A Rogue just seems like the wrong choice for this AP; being a halfling is the only thing that gives her any chance of survival.
Bertolt is now adjacent to Bella which will allow him to soak any attacks directed at her now.
Perhaps with this adventure being so hostile to scouts, we no longer have Bella scouting. We move together and let Bertolt be the vanguard, as he is built to take punishment. Thoughts?
