LOL! Of course you can loot your ally's corpse!
There is a difference between could, should, and would you know...
It looks like she has 2 wayfinders? So if Elliander takes 1, I would be interested in the other, and the Ioun Stone.
Feel free to divvy up the loot from Soumral here as you've been doing, and update your character sheets accordingly. If you want to take anything to sell, let me know that too. Otherwise I figure you'll leave it on her body when you take her to the Temple of Pharasma to be interred. The priests and scribes at the temple will take the responsibility of finding next of kin if they are able to find them.
Amenhep and I will take the pearls of power.
I'm away from home this week so updating my CS will be later.
Added the mask and pearl but need to add the effects....
Elliander will help carry the gear the team wants to sell once they’re out of the street, but he will pocket a few items that are easy to put in his pockets:
*Wayfarer for his Ioun Stone. (If Soumral has a similar one like he does and it’s difficult to mount his own stone, he will take her mounted stone and offer his own stone back to someone else.)
* Potion of cure serious wounds
* Wand of Scorching Ray
* Scroll of Flaming Sphere
* Antitoxin
* Sunrod
* Bandolier
* Salt Tablets (10), Chalk, Charcoal
OK?
I actually don’t cast spells thanks to my archetype! So Francis gets both.
OK. At least until we get another prepared caster....
Busy week again, I'm going to try and post tonight if I can, or tomorrow night if not. Thanks for your patience everyone!
Is there a rush to go into the next dungeon? It was an hour before sunset. At the least maybe we should have gotten a night's rest. ??
No rush! Feel free to take a full night's rest! I'll hand-wave it if you'd like, so consider it the morning of the next day if you want. I got the impression that some of you thought you should be hitting the road out into the desert sooner than later, so figured you're headed down that evening.
As no one else has spoken up, I am assuming that I have Sourmal's second wayfinder and dusty rose prism Ioun stone...
I will be on vacation from Monday through Friday. I am not sure how my posting will go, so feel free to bot me as needed.
Sounds good Devin.
Tough week at work, I'll post as soon as I can - probably by the end of this weekend. Thanks for your patience folks!
I am sorry to hear that work was rough. Hopefully, it clears up some.
The last couple weeks going into the tax deadline is always brutal for me, so apologies for not posting. I'm going to try and get something up in the next few days. Thanks for your patience, everyone!
I will be travelling through Wednesday, April 23. I hope to be able to continue posting, but if needed, bot me.
I'll bide a bit longer to see if we get some more actions posted.
Francis, don't forget you have that mask! I'm going to allow that you've had time to attune to it as well, so it's powers are yours to wield as you see fit. About the only thing it's doing for you at the moment is that you know that Elliander is indeed alive, but hanging on by a thread (so ICly, you know his HP situation.)
Since we had to rush down here Francis doesn't have any 4th level spells. Cure serious wounds does similar to his channel, but channel heals everyone....
I actually couldn't remember if you went straight down there or not, as I'd mentioned in a few posts above this one, there was no rush and you could have taken a night to rest. In fact, my post above said I'd hand wave it that you had a full night's rest, so let's go with that!
If anyone wants to change their post due to this retro, please do so. I definitely don't want to cause a TPK due to a mistake on my part! With the delay due to my busy tax season I might have forgotten that minor detail...

No, channel is a good option. Although if I was Eliander, I'd probably stay down and play dead... Both getting up and crawling draw AoO's...

If we took overnight, I'd suggest that Francis would have used his Channels to heal us fully... From your post HERE, that would mean Devin +9 HP, Amenhep +2 HP, Nev +3 HP and Francis +4 HP (which won't make much of a difference for anyone but Devin, post channel).
Agreed, I'd add a few HP to everyone after taking a look at my pre-battle post with current HP, as I think not all were at full. I'm pretty sure Elliander was, though.
Yes, I was full before the hit. Having taken a rest before means more options for me spell-wise, plus my Healing Belt is charged again.
Could Amenhep take a 5’-step into my square and thus provide cover enough for the prone Elliander to crawl backwards without Elliander causing an AoO?
While prone you have a speed of 5 ft. If you use Acrobatics to move at full speed you can try and avoid the AoO, but you would have to roll super high to pull that off as your Acrobatics is not really good.
Hmm... that's an interesting idea, Elliander. If you are prone and someone stands on your square (which can happen when you stand over a dead body, for instance), I'd allow that they provide cover (+4 to AC) as they block your body with their own. So crawling out of the square (a move action to crawl 5') would NOT draw an AoO in this instance, as an enemy cannot take an AoO against a target with cover.
I'll allow it! If an ally moves to stand in your current square, that is.
Anything to help. Really hoping to not have any deaths!
Bane against construct? We might have a chance! I hate constructs!!!
Hey folks, sorry I dropped off the map for a while there. I lost the job I was going to get after graduation due to federal cuts, and right as things settled down and I found something new, my coursework hit the fan. I'm hopeful that as I transition into my post-graduation job, I'll be able to get my feet under me and find time for PbP again.
No worries Amenhep, and good luck out there! I'm glad you found something after all. Hope it works out better than your original plan! Take your time and catch up with us when you can.
Good luck with your career, Amenhep!
Good luck figuring everything out Amenhep!
Just as a head's up. I will be taking a trip from Friday through Monday. I am not sure how my posting will be in that time so feel free to bot me as needed.
@GM West, I asked this in gameplay a while ago,
...
You replied:
...
I think I have found the answer to my question, scroll down to the Clockwork heading, HERE.
"Since each key is totally unique, construction of a new key (or bypassing a key entirely) requires a successful Disable Device check (DC = 20 + the clockwork's CR)."
Also of particular interest in this bit "Only one who possesses a key to the clockwork can program it, but any commands given to the construct last until the clockwork is reprogrammed or destroyed. "
I think I might be able to turn this wound down clockwork into a friend...
Let me look into it again, I saw that rule, but I thought I saw something else that indicated you needed the key. Might have been the text in the adventure module.
I do see that the adventure text doesn't allow for that option. By way of explanation, I'd suggest that maybe the entire idea of a clockwork creation is so foreign to you, that you have no idea where to begin hotwiring the thing. That said, if you can find the key somehow and get it working by using it, THEN you can study the contraption and how it works so as to allow you to use Disable Device on clockwork constructions in the future, without use of a key. Hope that sounds fair to you!

Yeah, that's fine.
Apologies folks, I'd meant to find time to post before heading off to the Origins convention, but got caught up in work or prepping the games I'm going to run. Sorry for the delay, but I won't be back to post this adventure until early next week, and getting caught up on my work backlog might mean nothing until the end of the week at best. So anticipate a post by Sunday, June 29th at the absolute latest. Thanks for your patience!
I am travelling until June 25. I should be able to post, but things may be sporadic... Not that that will matter.
Hey folks, finally getting into the swing of my new job, and done moving houses. I should be able to get rolling on this again. Anyone mind giving me a quick recap?
We are searching the complex. We found a key for the construct.
Hey, great to hear things are settling down for you! I'll be posting as soon as I can, just got back from Origins and getting caught up with my work.
Hi guys! I'm on a road trip and will be back July 8th. Please NPC me if necessary.
Hey, have fun!!
Devin, I'm updating the Combat Notes so I can track everyone's bonuses better and I just wanted to point something out for everyone to keep in mind. But let me know if I'm mistaken on anything, it's starting to get confusing keeping track of what stacks and what doesn't...
Inspire Courage (+2 competence bonus to attack/damage rolls and +2 morale bonus to charm/fear saves)
Flagbearer (+1 morale bonus to attack/damage rolls and saves vs fear/charm)
So while these 'stack' to +3/+3 for you and your allies, it won't stack with Bless, nor will it stack with your own Heroism - which is in itself a +2 Morale bonus to attack rolls/damage rolls and all saves.
I think, between the Bless spell, Inspire Courage, Flagbearer and Heroism (only for you on that last one), the breakdown is as follows:
Party:
+3 attack/damage, +2 charm/fear saves
Devin:
+4 attack/damage, +2 to all saves
Does that sound correct?
Looks right.
Yeah, stacking between bonuses is something to keep track of,
Inspire Courage is competence to hit/damage and morale to saves
Bless, Flagbearer and Heroism are all morale
This is why is post my rolls breaking down the bonuses:
To Hit: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 14
+5 bab +2 heroism +1 enhancement +2 inspire couragedamage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10
+2 heroism +1 enhancement+2inspire courage
(and yes, your summary looks right to me).
... and the "Tears to Wine (+2 to INT & WIS skill checks) for 40 minutes" to me too, then (?)
Yep, I'll get that one up too.
I will be going on a vacation from Sunday, the 20th, through the following Saturday, the 27th. I should have some access to the internet, but I am not sure how much time I will have to post. So please feel free to bot me as needed.
