Sorry Joska, looks like you posted after I started working on mine. I have updated my notes accordingly.
Callen, I am fine with either just let me know. And yes, that feat works for me.
Meraati, any decision on your bonus non-combat feat?
Will update it tomorrow.
I'll take Proficiency [Starknife].
Added one to my inventory, -24 gp.
Alright, looks like everyone is updated, and we are good to go. I will get the gameplay intro post up this evening or tomorrow morning, and we will get underway.
Any last minute questions?
None for me.
Sent you a PM Raven, but it's not an emergency question.
I'm good to gooooooooo!
GM, if you'd allow it, i'd like to switch the proficiency feat to Lingering Performance instead. More beneficial to the team.
Joska just sent you a quick reply.
Meraati lingering performance is a great choice, update approved.
All right, let's do this!
So GM, how shall we handle broken bones? Missy would have dealt with them before, what kind of magic is required to fix it? I'm gonna assume it's likely beyond what Missy's capable of right now, but I feel like it's good to ask.
Ah, the abstract nature of hit points suddenly juxtaposed against the precise detail of specific injuries. The Adventure Path lays out that the wounds can be "healed" from a hit point perspective, but repairing Anevia's leg or Aravashniel's eyes require regenerate or equivalent. Sooooo, beyond the level of the PCs (it's a campaign method of making players care for wounded characters in the long term).
Missy, your Heal check on Aravashniel and Callen's on Anevia have 'stabilized' their critical injuries. They can now be healed, but will suffer the effects of their injury.

Figured as much, just wanted confirmation. Regenerate literally calls out broken bones in its description.
If the bone has been fractured in such a way that she will need surgery, Nicolette has surgical tools and knows how to use them. It may be a long night ahead of us. But then coupled with some healing magics at least she will walk again? If we don’t do anything to get them killed in the meantime…
Apologies Nicolette, somehow my reply to this was lost. It appears that Callen did an admirable job setting and splinting the broken leg. She is able to walk currently with the crutch she has fashioned, though healing her to full HP might have more beneficial effects.

TERENDELEV’S SCALES
Each of the seven scales are blessed with one of the below powers. I will let the group work out who possesses which here in Discussion.
- Blessed Barrier Three times per day as a standard action, this scale can be used to cast ward shield (CL 6). If the bearer does not possess a shield, the scale expands to become a light metal shield upon casting the spell.
- Cloak of Air Three times per day as a standard action, this scale can be used to cast blur (CL 6). When this happens, your body takes on a faded cloud-like appearance, granting the effect.
- Cloudwalker Three times per day as a standard action, this scale can be used to cast levitate (CL 6). A bed of roiling clouds rises below the levitating object or creature, growing and shrinking with the target's altitude. This cloud is 5 feet in diameter (regardless of the target's size) and allows you to walk while levitating at half your speed.
- Dragon’s Scales Three times per day as a standard action, this scale can be used to cast barkskin (CL 6), but instead granting a silvery scaled appearance.
- Dragon's Visage Three times per day as a standard action, this scale can be used to cast alter self (CL 6). While disguised, the target gains a +4 bonus on all Bluff checks made against evil creatures.
- Hallowed Resistance Three times per day as a standard action, this scale can be used to cast resist elements (CL 6).
- Sacred Weaponry Three times per day as a standard action, this scale can be used to cast align weapon (CL 6), but only to make a weapon lawful or good. Unlike a normal align weapon spell, this effect can be cast on an unarmed strike or natural weapon.
Everyone, a brief update: I made a mistake as I was listing the NPCs in the Campaign Notes. Aravashnial is at 3 hit points, not 13 (I copy and pasted Anevia's info at first, and failed to delete the tens digit).
GM: No, that's okay. I just know walking on a splintering fracture is not good and would take more than a splint. It would take surgery to align all of those little pieces into one bone and then set it in a cast with rods, or in ancient medicine, tight wraps with lemur skin and various poltices and probably would utilize her honey for wound care. If you want the heal check to be enough, that's okay. I'm fine with that. I was using real-world understanding of surgery and medicines with in-character gaming. In any case, that works for me :)
As for the scales, here are ones I wouldn't use:
Blessed Barrier, Dragon's Scales, Hallowed Resistance.
Preference would go to Sacred Weaponry or Cloudwalker
Preference goes to Dragon's Visage.
@Raven: For Hallowed Resistance did you mean Resist Energy or Endure Elements? I've never heard of Resist Elements before.
Preferences: Not too picky, any of the following is fine: Cloak of Air, Hallowed Resistance (if energy), Dragon's Scales, or Sacred Weaponry.
preference to dragons visage as well. Cloud walker a close second.
Since it seems to be the odd one out, I guess Missy shall have Blessed Barrier. Assuming no one else wants that particular one. I'm alright taking whatever's left over.
so.. Meraati gets dragon visage, amelia cloud walker, Nicolette sacred weaponry, Missy Blessed Barrier?
Cloud walker + Arcanist = > Death from above. ^^
My preference of scales would be Cloak of Air then Dragon Scales.
Damn, some of those are pretty sweet. Obviously, as an archer, Sacred Weaponry would totally fit. But it would fit any combat-based character, so many of us would likely want that one.
Beyond that, Callen is honestly a jack-of-all-trades and could make use of most of them. I am happy to be the low man on the totem pole on this round of loot selection.
Yes, Joska, that should read Resist Energy.
Alright, I'll go ahead and bump Hallowed Resistance to preferred since nobody else has it on their list.
I guess I have a higher chance of going into Melee than Callen. I'll take dragon's scales. How does this look?
- Blessed Barrier (Missy)
- Cloak of Air (Kevin)
- Cloudwalker (Amelia)
- Dragon’s Scales (Nicolette)
- Dragon's Visage (Meraati)
- Hallowed Resistance (Joska)
- Sacred Weaponry (Callen)
Wow, definitely not where I had predicted things to shake out, but exciting to see nonetheless! Well done everyone in getting that peaceably sorted out.
Everyone gain 1 Hero Point!
Hero Points, woohoo!
Surely you weren't expecting us to go Mortal Kombat over them?
;)
Yeah, we don't know each other well enough to start bickering yet. :p
Hey all, lost power last night after heavy thunderstorms. Still awaiting a return of services, just wanted to drop a quick note from my phone!
Got some bad storms down here in the Carolinas last night, lost power for a short while, but nothing major. Hopefully you are back up and running soon!
I am in Charlotte and it wasn't too bad last night at least at my house. This afternoon was a little noisier. I am lucky in that the power lines for my neighborhood are underground so the storms have to take out something major to get us.
Power was back late last night, internet this morning. Definitely not a fun day given the summer heat and humidity.
Game On!
Okay, I posted a battle map in the campaign notes at the top of the page. Using Google docs to start, but I've also started playing with roll20, so we may convert over to that in the future. We shall see.
Thanks for the maps.
Sorry for the late post, I've been battling the Paizo site dropping out all afternoon!
It definitely got weird for me earlier. Luckily, I learned a while ago to write my posts in Notepad, so didn't lose anything.
Hey gang, dealing with some HR issues at work last night and today. Should have an update for all of you later tonight. Sorry for the delay.
No sweat, stuff happens.
The Dwarf's Spellbook
0th - acid splash, daze, detect magic, ghost sound, light, mage hand, open/close, read magic
1st - alarm, burning hands, color spray, detect secret doors, expeditious retreat, grease, mage armor, magic missile, shocking grasp, snowball
2nd - blur, burning arc, invisibility, levitate, resist energy
That's a nice spellbook.
Good thing he didn't use color spray.
Good thing he didn't use color spray.
That sort of thing was the reason Joska had Kevin and herself split up and come at him from different angles.
Gah! Looks like I forgot one other house rule along the way - I use Athletics as a skill in place of Climb/Swim and generalized Strength checks. It is a class skill for anyone that has either of the listed skills. You may all update accordingly!
For those of us in the USA, happy (belated) Labor Day! I hope most of you got a bit of time to relax with those you care about!
Now, back to the demon war!
The Perception DC of 15 is set for the scene in the AP. Yes, spotting a figure out in the open is DC 0, but it is affected by modifiers: in this case the distance from the mouth of the tunnel to the ruin, the cover afforded by the ruin itself, and the concealment due to the lack of any light source near them.
A further in scouting run would obviously lower the DC, as would darkvision (removing the concealment as a factor). Circling around the tower ruin might also give a more clear sight line, potentially reducing or removing cover.
I sent you a message concerning your last post GM Raven. Hoping to catch your attention while it is editable.
Damnit, on the road and tried to write a quick post on the web... And lost it. Will rewrite when I get home.
I'm sorry. Forgot to say. I'm on vacation to celebrate mine and my grandpa's birthdays (18 and 16th respectively)from yesterday to Sunday. My labtop is broken so I wont have much access time to make posts. I'll see if I can make a post or two from my phone. But feel free to bot.
