no issue with me...spit away...it'll wash off

@Mykel & Noctanebo: thanks for the feedback. Based on Noctane's answer I believe I will be the strong/silent low Cha type during this adventure, without toilet-related incidents. May I still play my character as grumpy, or is that also bad in some way for someone at this table?

Totally fine with everything! :-D

go for it

If you'll forgive a bit of soapboxing:

Let’s leave politics out of this game.

Let’s leave politics out of this game.

That would be easier if the boundary between "politics/not politics" weren't utterly arbitrary (was it ever not so? Hard to say). :/

I'll concede I tipped the scales with the last line, but consider the rest a matter of "I happen to know much more about mental health and social psychology than most people, and people are searching for that in unusual numbers right now and finding a lot of really bad advice, so I had to say something".

I've said it now, though; carrion.

@GM TOZ: let me know when you intend to start this scenario (ballpark). I'll have to go back and re-read the rules on alchemist as it's been a long time (particularly the splash radius for bombs, as I remember the templates to be different, i.e. if I remember well, you target a creature and not an intersection, so the splash radius comes out of a central square/creature and not an intersection I think...) Cheers!

I'm fairly practiced with a crypt breaker and a chiurgeon of my own, as well as running for a number of bombers with unusual options. You are correct that a creature targeted causes the splash to hit all adjacent squares, while a bomb targeted at an intersection only hits the four squares touching that intersection. The rules are less clear about targeting a specific square, but I don't expect that to come up often, if at all. I will try to get the briefing up now, last night was a low energy night.

Warning/Disclaimer: Ellismus has a very low Charisma, and is the embodiment of 'grumpy old man'. If, in-character RP, he spits in your general direction or expels other audible sound or gas emissions, would this offend you as a player? if so, please say so now and I will tone down the Family Man / Homer Simpson factor down a few notches.

If it gets to be too distracting I will let you know.

@GM: Had a previous GM a long time ago rule that 'stink bomb somehow doesn't work with Precise Bomb', despite the FAQ on the subject. Let me know what your thoughts are on this. Thanks.

(My interpretation is that based on the following FAQ, if secondary effect is in addition to damage, it follows that Precise Bomb excluding squares for damage also excludes the secondary effect for those squares)

Looking at the exact wording, Precise Bombs just excludes the square from damage, not any effect that isn't tied to damage. It sounds like the creature would be excluded from the stink bomb damage but not the stinking cloud effect. This is also supported by the radius being larger than the splash damage area. I saw mention of a dev clarification in my forum search but haven't been able to confirm where that clarification is. If it says otherwise, we will roll with Precise Bombs working, otherwise it will not.

@GM: Found the bomb radii if you target a creature...

Please confirm this is correct; thanks!

Those are the correct templates. The Bramble Brewer gets ridiculous.

Can frost bombs put out a fire, they being endothermic reactions which should counteract a fire's exothermic reaction? :P

The crew of the Pixie seem to have it in hand.

Sent PM to Noctane about 14 hours ago to let him know he was up; I'm wondering if he had to drop?

he's up in another game i'm in too...might just be busy and can only post at night...

Hopefully we can get some confirmation soon. I'd hate to have to shake up the roster again!

My apologies; the game's timing was less than ideal, since I wasn't feeling up-to-snuff on Friday (the first post in a new game is always the hardest for me), and - keep this in mind going forward - I now make it a rule to abstain from the Internet every Saturday.

Great idea to detox one day!!! :-D

I will make sure to keep it in mind. Currently driving to Cali for an overnight trip, will update at the hotel.

How about my having false life on beforehand? Yae, or nay?

I've taken the liberty of giving all the PCs a distinctive colored boundary - hope everyone approves of my selections!

Can't speak for the GM but all 'hour/level' buffs should be ok; "10min/level" ones are not. This is the assumption I made with Ellismus, hence is highly debuffed version now... :P

(when truly buffed, he is a sight to behold! see, this is why martial types are so important!)

If it makes sense for your character to have used his 6 hour buff while on a ship all day long for the last week, then yes. I would assume hi would either have spent it at wake up and possibly had it expire already or wait until there was actual trouble. My characters usually wait until they have a duration that lasts all day before it becomes a daily buff.

“Hear that, my friends? The winds here howl like no others on Golarion. It’s a sound that haunts my dreams. We’ve arrived.”

THAT was Ellismus' cue for the two daily buffs he ingested! ;) :P

It's a bit rude to interrupt the briefing with spellcasting however.

It's drinking, not spellcasting... Ellismus drinks all the time! :P

But seriously, if those buffs annoy you I can take them out. One is 48 hours and the other is 16 hours; I really honestly thought I was in the realm of 'daily buff' with those. My bad if this is not the case, and I can retcon my HPs to 5 lower.

Which is why I was talking about people other than Ellismus.

Sounds like an 'ix-nay', then?

In which case, may I at least hang onto the roll I made in the spoiler for when I actually do it?

Works for me. I expect it will be after this combat. On the road home from Cali, update later tonight.

Immune to crits and precision damage.

Too late now, but was there any DR above and beyond that precision damage immunity? thanks!

None that you noticed.

I should've asked before: What kind of Knowledge check for this Galvos thing?

Knowledge Arcana.

i'll 5 ft step up if i can

Mykel had to move before attacking, correct?

yeah...i had a brainfart...sorry...thinking bout too many things at once...ignore my idiocy

So you guys know, I'm currently experiencing a family emergency. It's not effecting me physically and I am able to keep going, but that can of course change. Hopefully we can finish this out quickly before any complications arise.

family first man...if we have to pause, i'm good with that...

He bends over to help the sleeping alchemist up.

I'm just imagining Mykel standing Ellismus up, only to have the old man collapse again. XD

:-)

having had much experience lifting and carrying passed out/drunk friends, it would be comically hilarious...

Weekend at Bernie's, anyone? I'm up for it with Ellismus if you carry his unconscious body throughout the scenario! (gotta be some kind of PFS record if we pull it off right? :P)

I heard of a Wounded Wisp game going that way with the Ezren pregen KOed in the first fight with no healing in the party. So Amiri dragged him through the rest of the scenario.

LOL

I'll be taking tomorrow off from responding thanks to a hand injury. Single hand typing is no fun.

Purchases in this scenario:

wand of cure mod, 5 charges, 450gp, limit 1
wand of cure light wounds, CL 3rd, 8 charges, 360gp, limit 1

Those who explored the Labyrinth of Hungry Ghosts recognize the room, and it also matches the map drawings provided by the VC.

@GM: Played with this character, but don't remember much about it. Let me know if my PC knows something interesting based on his knowledge.

@Players: do we have a trap spotter? if not let me know as I could add a buff to Ellismus which lets him do it.

Toral took the eyes of the eagle so his perception is +21.

I suggest that he walks at the front with a melee char.

He will check for traps all the time.
