Please complete the Macro (used for secret checks and initiative) and Post your token. They are linked above.

Pardon the delay. Tracking down the other 2 players.

Drake and Dran'thal, please post your tokens.

Done

Drake, please introduce your character. After that, the gang's all here :)

Not sure the marching order is the best one. But it doesn't matter.

Marching Order doesn't apply for this adventure, so you can pretty much ignore it.

Hello, everyone! I welcome tips and advice for me here. I created a character from Oracle class because I find it challenging to play a character that is or will be cursebound or something. I will try my best to learn from and enjoy this campaign with all of you. Thank you! :)

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the delay. It's my first time playing a PbP on Paizo so please bear with me.

I noticed Raphaelos selected Follow the Expert as an exploration activity. It is not possible for a level 1 PC to be an expert in any skill so there is no one to follow. (Perception is not a skill, so it doesn't apply.)

Thank you for the info, Aleksandr. I will change my Exploration activity then.

Drake seems to be caught off guard and quite upset by the firm reaction of the woman. Apparently, he was not used to this kind of behavior from the women he knew in his home city of Katapesh.

So you've never heard of the Great Drake also known as the Lion of Katapesh, aka the destroyer of Dragons, aka the terror of Trolls, aka the grabber of Giants, aka the crusher of Crabs, aka the killer of Kobolds? How insulting!

I'm assuming those are the scenarios you've played? 1-14 (Lions of Katapesh), Crusher of Crabs sounds like B9 - Fishing in Anthusis, Killer of Kobolds sounds like 02-05?

B-9 Yes
1-14 not yet
Killer of Kobolds is for Flames of Rebellion, but he hasn't played the scenario.
He tends to hear stories from other Pathfinders and claims them as his own. ;)

What are the other 2? Trolls and Giants?

Giants is referring to another scenario of year 2 (won't tell which one to avoid spoilers). Not played by Drake but by another Pathfinder
Trolls = just out of his imagination

Who are we waiting for?

Who are we waiting for?

I just posted the follow-on. Our posts crossed, it appears.

So the summoner's act together ability has this line: "This lets you each use separate exploration activities like Avoid Notice as you travel."

So I think for actions that take a long time there should be the ability for the eidolon and summoner to do different things. But if you'd insist on only one of them acting, consider my second roll the use of a hero point.

Hmm. Ordinarily I'd agree, but the text of the bounty is "Each PC..." Eidolon's aren't PCs. I'll allow the hero point -- it's the same modifier.

I'm assuming we can swim back to the deck of the ship. Can we get on the part of the ship that's on its side?

How did we get in the water? I thought the Fort save was to avoid being knocked prone.

If you don’t mind answering, what are your time zones?

The area is where the scenario text has PCs starting. I think the assumption of the scenario is you're essentially roaming the wreck area as it's on a sandbar.

Yes, the areas of the ship are dry land.

If you don’t mind answering, what are your time zones?

UTC+8 SE Asia

UTC+1

Forgot to mention something important: Drake has a curse and he only rolls d10s for his attack rolls. Just for you to know :)

UTC-5

Did I win something? :)

Aleksandr, so what would have happened had the Grim Tendrils hit both of you? I think what makes it confusing for me is that you both share the same hit point pool.

Mountain Standard Time (GMT -7)

Aleksandr, so what would have happened had the Grim Tendrils hit both of you? I think what makes it confusing for me is that you both share the same hit point pool.

Aleksandr is immune to negative damage, so he would not have been affected by that, but could take the bleed damage, so would still have to roll a saving throw.

Imelia is not immune, so would have to roll against the damage and the bleed.

I would then take whatever damage Imelia did and the worse of the bleed.

Now if it were a spell that I wasn't immune to, say a fireball, both would have to roll a save and my hit points would be reduced by whichever one of them lost the most.

3-action Heal and Harm get even trickier as those spells will hurt Aleksandr and heal Imelia. I would roll the save for the one being hurt and then apply the net result.

Say the 1d8 was a 6. Aleksandr fails his save and takes 6, Imelia heals 6. Net result, no change to hp. If Aleksandr saves, net result is heal 3. If Aleksandr critically saves, heal 6, if he critically fails, take 6 damage.

And what about you Raph?

Drake, try now.

It works now. Many thanks!

it works also on the slides.

Good. I told the slides that it'll be grounded for a month if it didn't cooperate...

Tiger, what are FF and MAP? I only know AC, DC, HP, BT.

FF = Flat-footed

MAP = Multiple Attack Penalty (The penalty you take for making more than one attack per round.)

Oh, I see. Thank you, Aleksandr.

Another question, haha! Is it allowed to use the same prepared spell or focus spell as long as I have remaining spell slots or focus points?

There are two type of spellcasters, prepared and spontaneous.

Prepared spellcasters have to fill their slots with specific spells. You can only cast a spell multiple times if you prepare it in multiple slots. Their advantage is that they don't have to learn heightened versions of spells as different spells. Once you have access to a spell you can prepare it at any level.

Spontaneous spellcasters have a list of known spells but don't fill their slots with them. When they want to cast a spell, they expend a slot and can cast any spell of that level. The trade-off is that they have to learn heightened spells at the specific level they want to cast them. So an oracle that wants to learn heal as a 1st level spell and as a 2nd level spell has to use up two of their known spells. The exceptions to this are cantrips and focus spells which do not use slots and automatically heighten and signature spells which do use slots but can be used at any spell level.

Oracles are spontaneous casters.

I think I understand it. Thank you very much!

Are there limitations to the Command spell if the target creature fails or critically fails in its saving throw? Like can I command it to hurt himself instead? Or hurt his allies? Or how about the language barrier between the caster and the creature? Say, I command the grindlylow to go away, will it understand my language and follow me? Like, I don't think they have their language and wouldn't understand me, making my spell ineffective.

Command

Are there limitations to the Command spell if the target creature fails or critically fails in its saving throw? Like can I command it to hurt himself instead? Or hurt his allies?

"You can command the target to approach you, run away (as if it had the fleeing condition), release what it's holding, drop prone, or stand in place."

If it's not on that list, you can't command them to do it.

Or how about the language barrier between the caster and the creature? Say, I command the grindlylow to go away, will it understand my language and follow me? Like, I don't think they have their language and wouldn't understand me, making my spell ineffective.

Command has the Linguistic trait.

Linguistic: An effect with this trait depends on language comprehension. A linguistic effect that targets a creature works only if the target understands the language you are using.

Now, I get it. Thank you very much. Sad I can't use the spell to the grindylow.

GM, is Black's reflex save for the electric arc or Drake's escape action?

Black's reflex save is for the Electric Arc. The escape action is just you rolling an escape (unarmed, athletics, or acrobatics) vs Black's Reflex DC (which is the Reflex Mod +10).

ok thanks

Nice fun little game. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks a ton, GM Tiger and everyone!

Thank you so much for this game, I learned a lot. Hope to see and play again with you all around here!
