@Leo: I noticed that earlier, but I didn't say anything in case you felt it was unnecessary with your great roll.

Some of the toughest characters to play are ones that Buff. The other characters (myself included) seem to always forget them...lol.

I played a Bard PFS Season 7. I had 3×5 cards that I tossed on the table with the Buff brightly written (on both sides after 1st week they kept flipping upside-down) and folks still would forget!

Fun times!

No that's on me, I had read your post Monday evening and didn't make a 'sticky note' about the guidance. So, when in a hurry yesterday, I didn't reread and forgot it.

Funny, Tannakin! We both play Vesk Operatives in our bi-weekly Starfinder game on Fantasy Grounds.
The other players call us Captains because we own the Starship (and only pilots).
Burt and Ernie captain of the Sesame Street.

That is darn cute.

Also I too know the anguish of playing a bard and having your most powerful and consistent buff be only consistent in how consistently it is forgotten... I made a meme about it a while back, I'll try to dig it up.

Edit: Found it!

Since Airi acts first in Round 2 before Ness in Round 3 - I'm going to wait to see what she does (when her player gets the chance to post) before I get Ness to do something.

I have gone through the Game Play and have a spoiler for the Loot List in Profile.

Looks like it's up to you guys tp get that tiny dragon!

Being Stealthy:

If you want to sneak around when there are creatures that can see you, you can use a combination of Hide and Sneak to do so.
First, Hide behind something (either by taking advantage of cover or having the concealed condition due to fog, a spell, or a similar effect). A successful Stealth check makes you hidden, though the creatures still know roughly where you are.
Second, now that you’re hidden, you can Sneak. That means you can move at half your Speed and attempt another Stealth check. If it’s successful, you’re now undetected. That means the creatures don’t know which square you’re in anymore.
If you were approaching creatures that didn’t know you were there, you could begin Sneaking right away, since they didn’t know your location to start with. Some actions can cause you to become observed again, but they’re mostly what you’d expect: standing out in the open, attacking someone, making a bunch of noise, and so forth. If you Strike someone after successfully Hiding or Sneaking, though, they’re flat-footed to that Strike.

Creatures can try to find you using the Seek action, described on page 471.

Three conditions explain the states of detection. Remember that these conditions are relative to each creature—you can be observed by one creature while hidden to another and undetected by a third.
Observed
You’re in the creature’s clear view.
Hidden
The creature knows your location but can’t see you.
Undetected
The creature doesn’t know your location.

@Leo whatever may be in the room is now Hidden from you but still Undetected by everyone else.

Seek Action

Seek Action

Just to make sure, Leo's perception check was for the kobold, not the room downstairs.

Tann since we cannot take 10 on perception any more, could you make a perception check for the room/kobold we have a perception check that the other three of us failed.


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Yuppers! The Initiative rolls (conveniently all Perception) was for downstairs.

Apologize if posted too quickly. Of course everyone may roll the upstairs Perception.


ok, I'm stumbling through the 'level' procedure and will have Leo posted soon. I've found the 'Witch Feats' and am leaning towards reach Spell or Basic Lesson. A question I've been meaning to ask: is there anyway to learn any other Witch Cantrip Focus Spells?


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Darn you, Tannakin! And good one my good Parrot!

@everyone. Characters are NOT leveling to 2nd. Your characters are delving down to level 2 of this dungeon.

English is hard, Paizo!

EDIT. Ha, jinx Parrot! But agree, Leo, great pic!

I will answer those and any other questions about gaining enough experience to...shit!... And what other word should be used to convey the experience allocation relationship to a characters abilities, skills, hp, AC, DC (see what I did there) and everything!?

My brain hurts!


swash | .5lf lev. 3| 10/41 | ac 20 | per 7 | f 8 r 11 w 7| hero points 3

...just double-checking that I was definitely joking about leveling up right now. I gotta say, your avatar is great, Leo!


But, but, but I've practically got him done...

Thanks Tann, that image is part of the reason I wanted to play a sprite. Looks like it's time to change it back. At least I've got a better understanding of what Leo may do once we do hit the 'other' second level.

Edit: I went to look at the map and it is blank, might that be a mistake?

Apologies! I forgot to turn off the dynamic lighting....should be good to go!

I thought the map would reveal whatever prompted the initiative roll. But I am still at a complete loss.

Did I miss something, or is he going into initiative not knowing what the treat is, just aware that there is one.


swash | .5lf lev. 3| 10/41 | ac 20 | per 7 | f 8 r 11 w 7| hero points 3

I've never played with hero points before--will try to remember! Double checking that I have three somehow, is that right, Dorian?


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

@Leo you are aware of something else in the room besides you guys, but not certain who or where without a Seek Action.

I posted the Stealth Rules and Seek Action above.

@Tannakin Correct. You currently have 3. That is max. Use them up because I enjoy handing them out...lol.

Hero Points


so the seek action is one of three, can I use just the one action for this round and then use the second and third based on what he learned? Or does he need to post all three now?


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

@Leo if you want to take the Seek Action then post it and I will detail it if successful.

If you roll less than DC 17 go ahead and post because you still didn't discover anything new.

You may use the Seek Action multiple times without penalty although each cost 1 Action.

I have my AoA game so will check in later....probably during our Monk's turn. So slow!


ok, will get a post up before I head to bed.


Heavy storms last night, we've got no power or internet so posting on my phone. Hopefully it will be up and running soon, bot me as needed.


It looks like a tornado crossed the northern part of our county, knocked out power for 15,000 or so. Probably won't get power back till tomorrow. My wife had to check on her mom so I brought the laptop along. Sadly I don't have all the 'programs' on her computer. I'll get moved on the map when we get power back.


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Stay safe up there, Leo! We just begun Hurricane season. New to us!

You guys really do not like kobolds! Leo's CRIT! (Yes double the damage) will do it for another poor dragon...

I can take you out of Initiative if Nyswyn desires?

If the kobold’s dead, I’m alright with coming out of initiative, if that’s what you mean, GM? Otherwise your question confused me. Lol


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Yuppers! That's exactly what I meant to say! Ok....

Hmmm, it’s been four days, still no power, went to the mother-in-laws for a couple of hours to do laundry, so will get a post up…


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Absolutely no worries, Leo. Tannakin is busy failing students and trying to TPK us in our finale of Rappan Athuk, so we are fine.

We do hope you get power soon though. 4 days! Ouch! We went 4 hours yesterday because high heat...

You guys are doing great!


swash | .5lf lev. 3| 10/41 | ac 20 | per 7 | f 8 r 11 w 7| hero points 3

The only time I want to be four days with no power is when I'm camping. That's a long time!

Hope you're empowered soon, Leo.

And yeah, I need to get back to the Rappan Athuk game... will soon!


Thanks, the power came back early Sat. afternoon. So good to go again and seriously considering investing in a generator.

Sincere apologies for my lack of presence on the board. I developed a severe eye infection in my left eye last week that grew worse and I had to go into hospital. I'm back home now, but with an eye patch, on bed rest. So, being in front of a comp for any length of time isn't the best for me. I'll be back to usual posting from Monday 27th (hopefully sans eye patch). Please bot Ness where/when necessary for the remainder of this week. Thanks kindly.


Yuck, eye infections suck, get feeling better Ariah. We won't let Dorian kill her or anything. I can't promise that Sansaárë and Tannakin won't try to dye her hair though...


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Exactly what Leo stated...lol! Get well, Ariah!

Busy day with an interview, physical therapy and SF Tuesday tonight, so I shall endeavor to sneak a post in somewhere....


swash | .5lf lev. 3| 10/41 | ac 20 | per 7 | f 8 r 11 w 7| hero points 3

GM, can I retroactively add purple and green hair dye to my kit? I just forgot to put it on my sheet, but I never travel without it, I swear.

Get will soon, Ness! Eyepatches are more fun on fictional pirates than real faces.

Don't worry about adding the hair dye to your kit. Ambrose is a fey Corgi, he craps purple and green hair dye.

We are all gonna look so amazing!


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

I leave you alone for 2 seconds...lol.!

Complications with my eye situation. Looks like I'll be seeing an ophthalmologist for possible surgery on my left eyelid. Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm trying to limit my exposure on the comp and trying to rest up. I hope to be back to some kind of regular posting possibly around my Sunday (your Saturday) until I hear whether I need to get the surgery. I'll let you guys know more once I know. Thanks for your understanding and patience.


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

We will support your circumstances indefinitely, Ariah. Please do not overextend yourself.

The beauty of PbP...lol.


He's totally right, no need to apologize, take care of yourself!


swash | .5lf lev. 3| 10/41 | ac 20 | per 7 | f 8 r 11 w 7| hero points 3

Thirded!

Also, I'm going to be helping my brother move from CA to VA starting Friday (and the drive starts Monday). I might be slow to post for a while, but I should be back to normal posting speed by the 10th or so.


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

I am starting a new job today. After 4 months of recovery, I am excited and nervous...lol. My posting may slow until I get a steady schedule.
You're welcome...haha!

EDIT!

Cooking at a small family Italian restaurant 10 minutes from home. It has been a while since I have done this type of cooking, but food is food...lol.


A new job, congrats! So, cooking or what?

I hope you get better soon Nyswyn. Do what needs to be done. Take care of yourself.

He is cooking.

Leo be safe in your travels. I did a lot of that back in Feb and March.

LOL, not sure how I missed that edit :)

Hmmm Italian cooking, just don't overcook the pasta right? Are you making your own pasta? I've tried it once, boiling the dry stuff from the store is easier.

So hours? You doing lunch and supper both?

Do we have a discord channel? I think your still on the one for 'wheel of time'


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Doing lunch my first two days, tomorrow dinner. They buy their pasta. It is a small restaurant about 50 seats. After 4 until close at 8 is out the door waiting!
Not looking forward to it to be honest. This is the type of cooking that I really didn't want to do.
I need to make it work though.

We do not have Discord for this game, but yes I still am in that server although I haven't really been on it for a bit.

Thank you for the well wishes.


Good luck with it, out the door every night, yikes. Busy is a good problem to have, but out the door for four hours? Odds are, unless their extremely well-staffed and organized, you'll be humping the whole time. Sorry, fifteen years in restaurant work. I do not envy you.


swash | .5lf lev. 3| 10/41 | ac 20 | per 7 | f 8 r 11 w 7| hero points 3

Phone post (no wifi at bros house): making pasta from scratch is a specialty of mine but gods know I wouldn't do it professionally. Hard enough for just friends and there's nothing like trying to be the cool cook when the dough goes full rebellion mode... But udon is even easier than Italian pasta and is how I started noodling back when a debt ridden grad student. Make fresh noodles 5x a week for a couple years and yeah.

My total restaurant experience is more like 3 years and yeah, a busy restaurant can be like juggling very very sharp double edged swords. On the one hand, I liked getting in my groove and rhythm and working fast but efficiently... Time passes when it's busy and you're on your game. I had this one hyper competent coworker and when it got busy and someone called in sick, we'd be practically dancing to hold the place together.

But if she wasn't there or was the absentee, oh boy. It could be so unfun.

At least the commute is good, and yeah, you'll make it work!

No internet (lots of rain can do this) and now I have the worst ever flu (thanks to
Hubby) on top of my eye situation. This is turning into a bad comedy. Sorry, folks, I’m out until I can swallow without razor blades in my throat, hacking cough subsides, migraines stop and breathing returns. Least it’s not COVID as we got tested for that yesterday. Small mercy, I suppose.

Good luck with the new job, DG.


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Hello All!

I am just checking in with everyone. I hope all our road trips, health issues, new crappy jobs and such are resolving themselves ever in our favor.

Let me know whenever we are all able to proceed.


Leo is ready to proceed at your convenience.
