I don't suppose the bard song adds +2 to that bull rush attempt?
I think it is considered an attack.
From Combat Maneuvers:
"When you attempt to perform a combat maneuver, make an attack roll and add your CMB in place of your normal attack bonus. Add any bonuses you currently have on attack rolls due to spells, feats, and other effects. These bonuses must be applicable to the weapon or attack used to perform the maneuver."
From Bull Rush:
"If your attack is successful, your target is pushed back 5 feet."
I don't suppose the bard song adds +2 to that bull rush attempt?
A very cursory survey of opinions on the interwebs would seem to rule that it does; I think RAW is squishy on this part so I'll allow it.
re: withdrawal, it might not be a bad idea. while the creatures do have the ability to burrow, humans are not their natural food. This may or may not be a hint as well.
Run, flee, skip. Leaves these strange creatures to their pitiful hovels, while we... Probably leave the cave entirely and campletely to rest and recover.
Natural food ... maybe we can bribe them with something that they would be more interested in eating?

And that's what I get for reading the discussion before the gameplay posts that weren't showing new activity. Thanks for the suggestion about the gems Rando :)
How much of my stock have I lost, Rando?
Once the adrenaline of the party settles, any character who might know anything out it could press Yoltzin on why she has a suspiciously large amount of necromancy gems. Just had that as a tandem thought.
Amideo might care but he also really doesn't know much about magic, certainly not enough to recognize the significance of onyx.
What's wrong with liking black gems? Rocko has no problem with other people thinking that onyx look pretty
Green Tongue (Ex)
Benefit(s) The rogue gains Aklo, Aquan, Auran, Giant, Ignan, Sylvan, or Terran as a bonus language.
In addition, the rogue can attempt a DC 15 Linguistics check to communicate basic concepts with magical beasts and monstrous humanoids with which she does not share a common language.
Are the bat-dudes either of those two categories/types?
They're magical beasts, originally. I modified them to be animals, but I'll give it to you. However, they only have animal intelligence, so you're going to get animal level communication.

Oopsie.
Oh, forgot the +2/+2. So... 17 damage.

Noted.
Sorry folks, rough week & weekend. Will catch up.
So, anyone hear from our bard player in awhile?
Does Djack think he sees a vulnerability? Sneak spot?
No special vulnerability, but it's a normal undead (not an abberation, sorry. there's at least one coming though) so you will get sneak damage if you're flanking or otherwise qualify.

The sneak is in there... Flat-footed, as I went first in combat.
I wasn't really looking for aberration, but the write anatomy made me ask.
Sorry for the slow posting lately guys I've had a lot on my plate. Work has gone nuts this week, tons of stuff in my personal life as well as illness. I hope to be back to normal soon. Of course, as the weather gets nicer people tend to post less anyway.
Take your time, Boss... My seemingly simple life has fractaled.
We'll be here!
All good man, please take care of yourself.
Hope things get nicer for you soon
Could Djack get a running start?
Could Djack get a running start?
Yes, long as someone holds the doors open for him.
I see everyone else has their basic stats in their character line. I really need to get up to speed and do that as well.
Any help would be appreciated so I'm not fumbling around trying to figure it out
On your profile, if you click to edit you can see a lot of various boxes you can fill. For Yoltzin, I put these into 'Class/Levels' ; Cleric 4 | HP 14/33| AC:16/T:12/F:16 | F/W/R: |+5/+3/+7 | 1st 3(1)/3(1), 2nd 3(1)/3(1)| C: 2d6 2/4
You've been doing all your posting on what seems to be your main profile, but it should be fine so long as your not playing Rocko in other games too.

If you go to your profile, on the right side you'll see "Edit". Once you do that you can add information. I'll send you some screen shots.
Note that most of the others are using aliases, not their main account. You can create an alias by logging in to your account settings. Once you have an alias, you'll have choices in your posts of who to "Post As". Note this is optional. If you just want to keep Rocko on your main account, you can just enter his info under your profile.
Not much of one, but trying diplomacy seems tk have been our constant MO for things thus far. Even though that's only worked maybe two times now. :lol:
feels silly, but check all the doors and close them? I thought it was interesting that Yoltzin closed the door. Didn't expect that.
oops! never mind!
Now that you're inside, you can see all the doors do in fact lead to the same room. Now, whether none of the other doors were trapped or not, you do not currently know. The one you opened (and the party eventually entered by) wasn't.
Rocko certainly wouldn't suggest this, but maybe Djack can quick spot the lantern and try to grab it before we run away?
Combat map updated. I tried to place you in logical positions considering it's only been a few seconds since you walked in. I placed Rocko defensively near Chaucair and almost in line with Zia based on his description.
I've already announced this in my other game, which most of you are in, but for Kevin's benefit, I'm going to take a break from running for a while. My goal is to finish off this adventure and get you guys back to town, and then wind down for the time being, sometime in July at latest. I suspect I'll be back eventually. If there's still interest, I'll start this up again at that point.
OK, live running Djack and the motley crew we have... Happy to wait.
Hey, glad that this game has been running for what, a year and a half? It's been pretty much my only rpg'ing since covid
well, with live people interacting. I still play video games, but it's not the same
Also, hate to be the killjoy, but I don't think the party has done any healing after the pair of combats we've had. Rocko is only down 4 from the bone-tornado, but I think some other people took significant damage from it and the blob monster
I can allow Yoltzin to have used Channel Positive Energy before entering the room, if Mal wants to. You had time to have done that and/or drank potions before entering.

Yeah, we've done quite a bit since those early days. You'll hit level 5 before we break; it would be nice to come back and broaden the game world further once I've recharged, but we'll see where people are then.
Of course!
Djack is trying to communicate in Gnoll so the dragon doesn't understand.
Might be a stretch for Green Tongue, but I didn't think it was abusive.

I'll allow it; you got the resource, might as well be able to use it now and then.
Go ahead and level up to 5th. I'm going to handwave the journey back to Albarra, so we'll start off back there after a few months of downtime (both IRL and in-game).
Meanwhile, if you can gather a list of all the magic items you have and message me that information. I'd like to see where we are and balance out any inequities there. And of course get me access to your 5th level characters.
Thus far, I just have the lesser bracers of archery. And the heal stick, but that's a party item.
I'm curious about that book, it sounded interesting.
I think Rocko's only magical items are his axe and a couple of healing potions. And here's the roll for hp for level 5 ranger
Excellent roll!
Speaking of the possibility of hidden philactories in the hoard, amongst other dangers. If we had time to rest she'd like to cast Augury and ask if it's safe to take any of the items ae've found back to town.
