Can info drops like that be acted on immediately (i.e. assume they’re shared), or should I wait until the character says something?

I am very sorry that you had to go through this. I am thankful that no one seems to have been physically injured, but the theft of personal items and the manner in which they were taken can result in harm to one's comfort, sense of security, and emotional well-being.

Take whatever time you need to deal with your loss and rejoin us when you are able. Please seek help and someone to talk, if you need it.

Thank you. I am fine, my kitties were not harmed. Other things are replacable, they are not.

FWIW, there’s nothing in the description that says we can’t punch each other. Or would that be cheesy?

You don't have your wits about you, and you attack wildly. You are flat-footed, you don't treat anyone as your ally (though they might still treat you as theirs)...

You use all your actions to Strike or cast offensive cantrips, though the GM can have you use other actions to facilitate attack, such as draw a weapon, move so that a target is in reach, and so forth. Your targets are determined randomly by the GM.

Based on that I think it is up to the GM what attack your character uses.

Whoops I rolled for Dyner. I guess she shouldn't have?

Sorry about the delay, but my efforts to get out an update have been thwarted by a number of unanticipated demands (as well as a few anticipated that I failed to adequately account for). It looks like it will be late Sunday, or more likely, sometime Monday before I will get an update up.

Are we almost done with the scenario?

I would estimate that we have a few more days in the estate, even omitting the optional encounter. Around that time, I will be leaving town (between June 12 to June 20th), and I do not anticipate posting much during that time. Then, there is one mission left--the Petals District, which could take about a week to 10 days. Accordingly, I expect this scenario to run until the end of June.

Shouldn't the actions be resolved one round at a time given that damage can snap you out of confusion?

Also Lucentis has 24 hp and as far as I can see would have taken 19 damage assuming I don't spend a hero point to reroll that 1, which I would do. (They don't require the user to be able to act.)

I was trying to keep things moving and was thinking that Flat checks came at the end of one's turn after having acted. However, re-reading the confused condition, I see that I was, well, confused. Flat checks would have been made at that time of damage, so I will go ahead and retcon the round.

Apologies, I though Lucentis was at 19 HP (probably mistook AC for HP).

I think it is preventing us from having to make more saves vs the confusion.

Correct. The hazard is disabled, but its initial effect has already been triggered.

Is it a Fortitude save or a Will save. You said Fortitude twice and Will once.

Also I thought making skill checks related to the ritual is a single action. Some players appear to be making a single skill check and not doing anything else.

Last round I know I wasn't thinking in 2e combat/encounter terms at all, or else I would have moved Dyner closer to a target and rolled a second time. It's too late to go back and try again, but she'll try more checks next round, but given that she has less HP then the assistants keeping herself and everyone else alive was a good idea.

My apologies, there is only a Fortitude save called for.

A basic Fortitude save is called for from all the PCs, as all are bathed in harmful, negative energy from the ritual.

A Fortitude save could also be attempted by non-participants to protect the participants. However, since each PC has attempted a skill check, each PC is now considered a participant, so only the Will save applies.

Lucentis of Iomedae wrote:

You are correct that each skill check takes a single action and that, having three actions per round, a PC may attempt 3 skill checks.

However, it appears to me that (with the exception of Dyner) the PCs have used all of their actions in the prior round, most taking the form of Move actions, even if those actions weren't called out in the posts.

I have reached this conclusion based on the fact that all of the other PCs started out the encounter on the steps and all, save Flunk, have since entered the room and, for the most part, begun fanning out towards the different assistants. As for Flunk, he attempted two skill checks (unfortunately, neither was successful), so that is two actions, and that PCs' token appears to have advanced up the steps (difficult terrain) from his position at the end of the marching order.

I appreciate you bringing this all to my attention though, as I have been known to make mistakes (see above and Gameplay thread for immediate examples!). Also, this can be a VERY tough encounter and the random die generator has not made it any easier for this party.

I am fine with Dyner taking an action from the prior round.

No, the wisp failed it's "grapple"-type attack.

Lucentis should currently be down 2 hp. You don't count as your own ally in PF2e, so he doesn't get any benefit from his own angelic halo.

You shouldn't need to create an account, although it is free and I find it very helpful. All you should need to do is click the "Sign Up" link and then enter the requested information. I think all that is really needed is the organized play number, the specific PC's number, and the character's level.

This game has been reported. Copies of the PFS chronicles for this table can now be downloaded
here.

Please let me know of any changes or revisions that need to be made.

Per the recent version of the Organized Play Guide, players now are responsible for tracking and recording Downtime activities such as Earning Income.

I will mark this campaign inactive once I have received confirmation that each player has received their chronicle sheet or one week, whichever comes sooner. Thank you again for playing and I hope to share a table with you each again soon!
