Good news it's not covid and I've now get penicillin and other medications, so I am feeling a lot better than I have been. Last night was the first night I actually got some proper sleep, so hoping for the same tonight. So things are looking up and hoping a full recovery is on the way.
Sorry this game has suffered a bit from what's happening in my RL, here's to a better New Year.
Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a brilliant New Year, (with less Covid).

Hey folks, I hope everyone had a good holiday if you celebrate or a good Saturday if holidays aren't your thing! :)

Sorry for the radio silence on my end; between work, family, and health, the end of this year has been a challenge (to put things lightly).
I hope everyone is staying safe and that you all have a happy, healthy new year's celebration.

Happy New Year everyone.
I'm still recovering from the bugs that got me over Christmas and will start posting here again tomorrow.
I'll send out DMs to you all to get your attention again.

Yeah Deevor I hope you feel better! I am around whenever you are ready to continue!

I've put the battle map to slide 1, in future slide 1 is always the current battle map.

The hand is not undead!?!?! Oh you sneaky GM, you!
Either the hand is not undead ... or the hand had a critical success on the fort save... or the hand has some sort of resistance ... so many options ...

![]() |

I also play a monk now in a 5e game with my local gaming group, and I have to keep reminding myself that Webny's damage is based on STR in this game instead of DEX.

Well, if I fail the last recovery check, I can burn my hero point and stabilize... and I never learn... I shouldn't be charging in like that...

No worries shayla at low levels it is common to be dying. No biggie. As GM mentioned your initiative move to be right before the enemy so everyone can heal you. Overall it is a good idea to make your stabilization check-in a spoiler as now we know, that we could leave you dying for 1 more round if needed, as you did not crit failed your check.
Another thing, when you play a PC that you are not ready to lose you should keep 40 ACP ready, as at the end of the scenario you can resurrect your PC, but apparently you have to do it then.
For the record, Rangi is out of healing scrolls/spells. He could use Battle Medicine on Shayla but it is a gamble as he is out of Hero Points. The most important issue is that there are no spots to stand around Shayla.

Jak is also out of healing spells I believe, but can do Battle Magic or has other spells. To be able to use Battle Magic the medic must be adjacent to the injured party...
I may not post again til tomorrow, as I have RL group to kill tonight ...

Does shayla has a healing potion?

I do have 40 AcP ready. But I also have a hero point, which I could burn if I fail the last check. I also drank my healing potion earlier when I (foolishly) charged the Trollhound...

No, I believe we're at the right levels.
Don't worry overmuch; Webny's got you on this one.

This is for 16 points, your party is at 16 points.
It's pretty even at the moment.... but the hand may have a slight advantage...you might have to change your tactics a bit to get the advantage ....

Pooka has one 1st level spell left so she can cast Soothe on Shayla, provided she can get to her. Going to hold off on posting my turn until I see what Shayla wants to do.
Also keep in mind that our actual level spread in the group is one 3rd level, two 2nd levels, and three 1st levels; that's probably why pretty much all the fights have felt especially challenging.

I got out of dodge immediately. I'm not hanging around that thing... :)

I've moved the hand and will write a post in the next few hours....

OK, gonna use Jak's roll for the Cyclop's Lore for the journal.
The choice for you all, is do I take Pooka's Society roll or Jak's Cyclops Lore roll for the finger, Society is slightly harder than the Cyclos Lore?
I'd rather you decide....

![]() |

Can we make many attempts? Or just one? Either way, it sounds like going with Jak's Cyclopean Lore is a better idea.

![]() |

First day back in the office, just finished RL GMing and really knackered, so will post tomorrow.

![]() |

OK,
Rules for fingers:
Must be trained in either Society or Cyclops Lore
Only 1 character can translate the finger at a time, but you can have more than one character try to translate.
Each attempt to translate takes at least 30 minutes of sole concentration on the translation.
Each attempt to translate uses the book given to you by Eando Kline.

Oh yeah, they are secret rolls hence the spoilers ...

To bring the discussion of options over here, I'm thinking that maybe we should try to take a rest. Several of us are injured and I think all of the casters are out of spells (or almost out) beyond cantrips. If we do opt to rest, Pooka will cast Soothe on whoever is hurt the worst.

![]() |

I vote to rest as well, I am out of Hero Point, and my spells did not come handy => I will change them tomorrow to two heals + shillelagh

![]() |

How much more of this scenario do we have?
Probably about 2/3rds through....
Anyone else voting for resting? I will assume you will rest where you are unless told otherwise.

![]() |

Yeah, a rest would be grand. There are no short rests in PF, right? Only long rests?

![]() |

Resting's ok with me. Sorry -- busy week.
I'm playing 03-01 and GM'ing 03-01... I almost posted my intro for the one I'm playing in to the one I was GM'ing... that would have been weird... :)
