At Alchemist level 7, Triphylla could, I believe, get to be totally unbalanced, with Beast Shape for the Smilodon, on top of all of her other mutagen/extract/barbarian insanity. The animals available cover a lot of abilities from flight to darkvision to combat maneuvers, etc. Maybe it's too much although it probably depends on how I play it. I dunno. Thoughts?
Don't know, APs are strange, you can be walking over the whole adventure with ease and suddenly find an impossible encounter that destroys the whole party unless you have some strong combatants around. I think it is always good to have strong options and not use it to stay on par until it is needed a good flash of power :)
That makes sense. Thanks
From my pov, I'll try to scale encounters so they're not too easy/hard so it's up to you how you build your characters as long as they follow the rules.

Sorry all. I just got some concerning health results and I'm gonna take a break for a week, maybe longer. Feel free to bot Triphylla in my absence.
All the best.
Get well soon!
Sorry to hear that Triphylla, and I hope you get well soon!
Sorry to hear that Triphylla... I hope it turns out as good as possible...

Posting for visibility in case you missed it, Lope, Diana and Triphylla are up!
@Triphylla re rusting powder, did you mean this stuff?
@Triphylla re rusting powder, did you mean this stuff?
Yes, but in this usage it's just a vivid dust that should track well. I assume greater invisibility.
We're very close to finishing book 3, I was always intending to finish after book 4. Right now we have 3 active players so I wanted to get some feedback on the possible next steps:
1) Proceed as planned into a modified book 4, and open up recruitment for 1-2 players. (Note I'm not kicking anyone out, but Diana hasn't posted in ages and Valeria's posting is not frequent. Their characters will just fade to black for now unless they start posting regularly again).
2) Skip most of book 4 and head for an epic verbal battle with Pytharus.
3) Work on a narrative ending and effectively call it after this battle.
4) Something else I've not considered.
I would love to go into book 4, but I totally understand, recruiting a couple more people at this point rarely works out as planned. It is rare for new players to engage with the party and the adventure at this point.
Other than that, if you feel you prefer to call for an end, working into a narrative end is the best option.
I'm for the epic social combat throwdown with Pytharus. If there's a gauntlet of extras we need to cut through to get to him, all the better.
So if I got that right we have 1 vote for 1 and one for 2 possibly with a bit of book 4 to set the stage. St John what do you think?

Post coming after work.
I would vote for 1. Not a fan of 2. I could live with 3.
I can do 1.
My read on Command, Greater is that it is still limited to the same small set of actions as Command.
Yes this is a good point, I was confusing it with another spell that let you do more! I'll post a retcon.
Am traveling, will try to post tomorrow morning.
The high cultist is proving to be one tough cookie, and to think the encounter was originally designed with you fighting him at the same time as the other two cultists who were throwing lightning bolts around!
I thought that was a fun encounter. It exposed our weakness. Valeria saved our bacon this time but it would be great to recruit another full caster. We should also be looking for alternative ways to cast Dispel Magic.
Yeah, Valeria really isn't a great damaging caster, she is far better at debuffs.
Lope can cast dispel magic, I even had it prepared! But will only work if he has his wits on place :D
I'll have a post up once I get home.
I've been traveling this week. I'll try to get a post today.

Anyone got anything to add in the gameplay thread? :)
There's a few things you can do:
1) Make a report to the council, or at least the Chief Enumerator - he was the one most interested in the cult
2) Any last minute business in Yanmass
3) Head on back to Oppara (and book 4)
We may be due some reward from the Council, but otherwise Triphylla has no more business in Yanmass.
I'm sorry if this game is proving to be boring, but the general lack of engagement is getting a bit old. I'll give this a week and see where we are then.

I still quite enjoy the game actually. It is true it goes slow, but I myself have a hard time to post everyday the way I did before since I became a father. If it helps you, I am happy to have a few posts per week pace.
These past couple of weeks have been specially hectic though to me, so don't take that as the average.
Congratulations, Lope!
I have a surgery tomorrow and will not likely post the rest of the week.
