Hey all. Have been slammed at work until today. Catching up now. I did not expect this to take off so fast. Sorry.

Not sure how i create an icon on the map?

Also, if ok, I would like to start with the party life linked?

I see no reason why not - and I'll copy your token onto the map

Blue just took another 28 points of damage. Is he still up?

This is why Beshmet sends Fluffy into melee.

Love the bear pun. Giggle.

Will subtract 2 charges from Beshmet's CLW wand's 18 charges.

^Thanks. It is much appreciated. :)

As celestial werewolves, do we have any changes to our normal stats? Which would affect our rolls.

According to the slide provided. No. Simply add the features provided as a template to your character depending on what form you take (Hybrid or Wolf). The Wolf form increases your character's speed to 50 feet which will give you a +4 bonus on all your rolls.

Edit: If we all work together we should be able to get through the trials. I highly recommend everyone change form to Wolf. A +4 bonus is huge. To track your progress you can dump a copy of your icon on the appropriate slide. :)

Some of those DCs are over the top. Will take group team work to make them.

True but the wolf bonus really helps. Hitting an aid with a +4 bonus (at least) is quite easy. Basically you only need one good roll among the group to keep advancing. :)

Acrobatics 29
Swim 31
Climb 29
Escape artist 31
Stealth 31
Knowledge Religion 29
etc.

At our level some of these are impossible for someone with max ranks after rolling a nat 20. Will be fun to try but I almost wonder if this table is for a higher APL. lol. We will have to be creative to succeed.

Can Beshmet have Fluffy do the base Climb check?

Can Beshmet see yet?

Not yet. The spell description says 'Permanent' for Duration. An application of Remove Blindness will fix it. I suspect, after this combat, there should be a cure.

Just a useful fact to remember is that permanent spells can always be dispelled as well with Dispel Magic. This is a fact that might not be immediately apparent as first blush. :)

Allanen can't really hurt the wisp but can keep us up for a while I think. And he can handle the haunt.

If no one has the magic missile spell or a wand of magic missile then we have to hit the wisp. Al has given everyone +1 to hit and damage for 5 rounds.

My character has a wand of Magic Missile CL 5 but unfortunately as the creature has full concealment (50% miss chance) it cannot be targeted. :)

If we can find a mundane way to reduce the concealment of the Wisp down from full concealment then Magic Missile will work and be effective. Perhaps throwing water, a bag of flour, mud etc at the square where we know he is in will do so temporarily. If your character is not able to help in any other way then at least trying to do so would be extremely helpful for this spell and all attacks. :)

Interesting interpretation. Every encounter I have had/seen with a Will-O-Wisp it was indeed targeted buy and mostly taken out with magic missiles. Maybe when it attacks it can be targeted?

It is a simple fact that the Magic Missile spell will not work against creatures that have total concealment (or total cover). This is spelled out clearly in the spell description.

Many GMs and players play fast and loose with the rules so I cannot speak about your past experiences. :)

@Allanen - I guess it depends if the Wisp can be targeted (is not invisible) after it attacks so you might have a point after all. The GM will need to clarify this point.

@phaeton_nz - In terms of the season 10 reward cards I am wondering if we are granted access to a unique or variant item (Dancer's Starknife). I am assuming yes. :)

I'd have to check the Chronicle but it certainly looks like it.

Beshmet got a boon.

Do we get a chronicle for this one?

Yes. Should be doing them within the next 24 hours.

Game Reported

Chronicles are here

Chronicle looks good.

Thank you all for an excellent game, especially Phaeton for running!

It looks great. Thanks for being the GM. :)

Thank you for the game and the chronicles.

Thank you!

Yep. Thanks! I had no idea I was out of tier and playing down til I got the chronicle. lol.

When does Beshmet get her boon?

Whenever you feel the need to activate it I suppose.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

What is the boon Beshmet won? I have no idea what it is.
