Yeah. Same. It’s cool the game gives you a second chance, but I thought double-elimination meant we’d face the winner of the losers’ circle. I could see it being exciting/sad to have to avenge a dead Tino or something… but I agree with Xin and Esh.
It’s like fighting M.Bison twice in a row. And I assume us losing means WE get a rematch, so… yeah.
Thank you for asking.
I figured the skip would be preferable. I’ll post tonight or tomorrow, but feel free to level up to level 17 now if you want to get a head start!
Both teams earn 6,000 gp for participating in the previous fight. The winning team also earns a wand of overflowing life.
So we have 3000, 4000, and 6000g prizes. I gotta add my 3250g share to my profile.
@Xin, we are Lv.17!
(Or will be when the GM post says so, but we can edit our profiles accordingly.)
I'm aware. Busy week.
Awesome time to roll well Xin!
@Xin, if you can spare an action to to-battle (stride) Hotcha, she can do a lot of damage to two debris piles with three actions. Of course, if you can succeed with diplo next round, Hotcha can help the weapon smash the remaining pile.
Ancestry Feat: Rallying Cry (1x day +HP equal to level *and* 1 minute of haste for all your allies)
Skill Increase: Legendary Intimidation
9th level spells
+1 to all kinds of stuff
+14 HP
- and apparently I got my hp all wrong and I should be up to 246 (8 ancestry plus 14 (8 cleric, 5 con, 1 toughness) times 17)
@Xin, if you give Hotcha a one-action stride, she might be able to finish the debris without using her Ki.
But that bird is crazy tough, so no worries if your actions are better spent on Esh or your own strikes. I’ll let you make your move before I make mine.
Xin is up!
Crazy busy lately. Like, work until 11:00 p.m. busy.
Cereal for dinner and fall asleep on the couch busy.
On the other hand, business is way up.
Yeah… that to-battle paid off. Actually, my average damage is 30 per strike, so I got lucky! I didn’t do the math until just now.
[insert Han Solo never-tell-me-the-odds gif here]
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.
@Xin, I was gonna hold off to see who you to-battle, but Yog’Moi needs the stride more than I do (to heal Esh).
Xin, remember that To Battle! has the Flourish trait, so you can only use it once per round.
Xin, remember that To Battle! has the Flourish trait, so you can only use it once per round.
Move me back, then. Esh needs healing more!
Drat! I do keep forgetting that.
No biggie. I’m just happy I took out a 220 HP monster in a single round.
I’ll rush the oni next round!
@Xin, you can use the chariot or winged boots to flank with Hotcha. (I think chariot would be just one action.)
@Xin, this could be a great running gag! Hotcha always understands Xin’s plays, but I like her saying them wrong. Really loved Xin’s reaction!
For me, it was half about Xin recognizing the inherent futility in insisting on order from a capricious sprite and half about the fact that, all words to the contrary, he's still in love and has trouble being a taskmaster to her.
I'll wait till Xin edits his To Battle action before I update.
Wu Xin, do you want that studded armor, or am I good to take it?
Studded Leather is too restrictive for Xin. But I do need a +3 rune. You take the armor and let's look at what we can get for selling all the unclaimed gear. Anyone got a total?
We have +3 runes all over the place. There was also bow (the arrow kind) and a bow (the violin kind).
Giving Xin a chance to chime in before I move things along. :)
The prob.em is that I have no idea how much cash I'm supposed to have. Love to buy some stuff... not sure if I can. Can anyone give me an assist?
You got 36000 gp in just coins last adventure, so you have at least 9000 gp each to spend aside from trading items.
Hotcha says we have +3 runes laying around. Does that include +3 Armor runes?
The only +3 armor rune was from Razu’s armor. The others are weapon runes.
So we have 3000, 4000, and 6000g prizes. I gotta add my 3250g share to my profile.
@Brainiac, how much of that 36,000 has been earned since I posted this a month ago?
Um, I believe 0. ;)
Well… upside, I’ve been counting accurately. Buuuuut, I won’t be shopping for anklets anytime soon.
Okay, well first off, Xin has one of those +3 runes applies to his rapier!
Second, I will upgrade my Doubling Rings (50 gp) to Greater Doubling Rings (1300 gp).
Third, I will buy a Quick Runner's Shirt
Fourth, I will look for Moderate (or Greater!) Applereed Mutagens
Fifth, I will see what sort of Bravo's Brews are available.
Sixth, I will look for one or more rods of negation
All items up to level 20 are available in the markets of Goka! You can find the greater versions of the alchemical items and as many rods of negation as you can afford.
Oh, and as of my latest post, everybody has gained another 10,000 gp to spend before departing!
Are we selling anything? I’m ~320g away from being able to afford the 15000g anklet that adds to DEX! If not, I’ll sacrifice my acid resistance ring.
The bows?
I think so, but of course I expect everyone will want to strip them for +3 greater striking runes if they don’t already have them.
So it’s a question of what’s left to sell.
I’m going to assume that 11,500 gp is what I have to spend.
1) Upgrade to +3 weapon rune (no cost)
2) Upgrade Doubling Rings (1250 gp)
3) Greater Quick Runner’s Shirt (1750 gp)
4) Two (2) Greater Bravo’s Brews (1400 gp)
5) Greater Potion of Flying (1000 gp)
Total Cost: 5400 gp.
Saved: 6100 gp.
Now that I've read the gameplay thread and understand that I have 19,000 gp to spend, I'll ditch the Greater Potion of Flying and join Hotcha in her anklet fetish.
“I need… ummmmm… 31 platinum, 8 gold, a silver and 3 coppers!”
Hotcha thanks Xin and Esh for offering to fund her big purchase!
She of course means to pool the money and give the shopkeeper 5000 in large coins plus the 10K credit.
Hotcha flutters her wings excitedly. “We really got this far that I can afford these! Ha ha! And now I’m broke again, but I don’t look destitute!”
Updated profile!!! Reflex, AC and DC are up. Same for acro, stealth and attacking!
Is somebody willing to try to aid in meditation?
Everyone, remember you are quickened for 1 minute thanks to Yog’s spell!
LEVEL 17 TO 18
+14 HP
-Cleric Feat: Echoing Channel
-Skill Feat: Scare to Death
Forgotten stuff: Trained in Nature (from Sorcerer Dedication)
third eye: Fantastic item, could easily go to anyone. Should either go to whoever has the highest perception (Yog or me) or the lowest (Hotcha)
possibility tome: Moderately useful, I don't think any of us has more than 4 out of the 6 skills (not counting lore), so could go to whoever or just be loot
two necklaces of fireballs (type VII): probably best to give one to Yog (since he's likely to be at range anyway) and one to Hotcha (since she's so mobile)
greater phylactery of faithfulness: I've already got a regular one, so this could go to Yog
unwilting sal blossom fixed in time worth 10,000 gold: loot
Thoughts?
I think the fireball necklace is probably best on those *without* AoE capabilities. Yog can keep on blasting chain lightnings and AoE Harms, if necessary!
I can use the phylactery, although it's clear that Yog is not a bastion of knowledge, haha.
Yes, Hotcha thinks the Biting Rose lady is attractive. Yes, she is trying to leave Xin alone with her. (Because she cares.)
Yarrika, for Xin's benefit.
