[SF Adventure] To Defy the Dragon

Game Master cmlobue

From Archives of Nethys: Armor protects you against low levels of radiation (see page 403) and grants a +4 circumstance bonus to saving throws against higher levels of radiation. Armor of 7th level and higher grants immunity to medium radiation levels and provides a +6 circumstance bonus to saving throws against higher levels of radiation. No armor's bonuses apply to saves against radiation sickness, regardless of the level of radiation exposure that caused you to contract it.

Tel's Hover suit is 9th level and I'll guess everyone else has armor of at least 7th level. Is there a special circumstance that makes us vulnerable now?

Because it would be fun if you suffered any consequences form fighting these creatures?

You're fine.

D'oh! I thought I could ask questions OF it rather than questions ABOUT it. Please disregard my nonsensical questions.

You can still ask it questions. It just may not work as well.

As a reminder, a mech with two pilots has either one move and two standard actions, or one full-round and one standard action, per turn. You can decide amongst yourselves how to use them.

Yardnod, being aboard the Flame Knight how do you want to handle this? There aren't specific "copilot" actions like the different roles on a starship and I've been executing the Flame Knight's actions to this point. "Handing off one gun" feels a little restrictive. Other ideas?

Hmm, I take it there's only one conclusion for the encounter with this golem?

How large (or smaller :) ) is the noqual golem?

Oh, specifically to that last question: it is resistant to directly targeted magic. But how does it work if its surrounded by a spell? E.g., would it just pop a resilient sphere like a bubble? It isn't an effect on a target it can crit, nor is it force being applied to it (healing). It's more just like... there's a wall there.

A noqual golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance, unless the spell specifically lists constructs in its Targets entry. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the golem.

You can treat it as having infinite SR unless the spell is a specific exception. So no bubbling it.

It is Large, as shown.

Darn :) The toy was fun while it lasted.

I think, in forum play, the easiest way to play it will be "first come, first served." Whoever posts first in the round can take a standard and a move action or the full action and the other person can take the extra standard. If the first person just takes a standard, then the other person can take the full or the move and standard.

I guess we'll see how that goes, time-zone-wise :D

Okay, so I thought Time Knight was a shared Mech, as in one action for the whole team, not per player? I'm reading the mech combat rules, does it work similar to starship then, as in each player takes on a different role? If so, what should I do for the Mech?

A mech gets one more action than it has pilots. The first is a move, and all others are standards. Any two can be combined into a full action. Other than that, it works like character scale combat.

Telirix took two of the actions, so Mordack has a standard remaining.

I'm perfectly willing to cede pilot responsibilities to Mordack in he wants them next turn.

FYI I'm out all day tomorrow, but back late evening and for the rest of the weekend (so, shouldn't be disruptive to the game)

Mordack, are you still with us? You get to do something with the mech each round.

Hello, this is an FYI that I'll be away in nature without access to computers this weekend, 2/17-2/18. I will return late Sunday (US/Pacific time) and resume posting. As this is just the weekend, I expect minimal disruption to the games I'm in.

Hello fellows,

I'll be going on vacation today. I'm heading to Austin so I probably will have internet connectivity but probably won't be able to post. Bot me as necessary, please and thank you.

Greetings assorted people.

I'm taking tomorrow off and heading to visit my Mom. Her internet is spotty at best so I likely won't post until Monday.

Please bot me if necessary. Yargnod will blast away with Justifier.

Man...either we don't use this discussion much or I go on vacation too often since the last message is also me going on vacation.

Hey guys...I know it probably seems like I never work but I really do most of the time...just a lot of time away lately...

Speaking of...I'm taking Monday off to watch the Solar Eclipse, so I may post again over the weekend but likely won't again until Tuesday.

Nice. Enjoy the eclipse. I'm not in a very direct path to see it (and it's cloudy alot here).

Good for you, EbonFist. I kind of botched planning, and will be staying home so I won't have the opportunity for totality. I hope you have good viewing.

Sorry for the posting delay. I went to watch the Sun being devoured, and the hotel did not have the promised wifi (or breakfast! negative three stars!).

Where did you go to view it?

No worries, cmlobue.

How was the eclipse for both of you?

Paducah, KY. I live someplace where it was a viable option to wait for the forecast the day of and then go. Which made the two weeks prior a bit harrowing. Did manage to get the total experience, though, so to speak.

It was fairly awesome.

We went to the Dallas Arboretum (we live in a suburb) and they had activities and speakers from NASA.

I was a little nervous because it was really overcast in the morning and cloudy for the beginning but it was perfectly clear by the time the real action was going.

I couldn't really have asked for a better experience.

Lucky. It looked for most of the last two weeks like Texas was going to miss it all. I can only imagine what it would be like to make travel plans far in advance and then it be overcast.

Ha ha. Dad joke.

I'm glad it worked out for you guys. I went to Carbondale for the last one a few years back. One stupid little cloud made me philosophise about the pleasures of visiting family there instead of celebrating an awesome astronomical event.

The last 5 player d20s: 7,1,2,4,10

oof

Adds a "2" to the collection of sorrow.

I have no preference over how we organize the piloting of the different Knights. Soonish we'll have all four and we can all ride solo.

For the moment, I think Flame Knight should have the solo pilot, since it's the only one that has a weapon that requires 2 actions, that way, there's no need to coordinate actions and we can each just do our own thing.

FYI: I am going away this weekend on a camping trip and will be away from computers. I will likely have signal but limited ability to post on my phone and with little time to do so. I will check all of my games before I leave and since it's just the weekend I hope for minimal disruption.

I will return early evening on Sunday (US/pacific) time and catching up and resume posting.

Camping sounds awesome! Anyplace especially cool?

The location itself wasn't particularly noteworthy. The theme of the trip was cooking (while camping). So, we ate good while in nature :)

Nice.

Anyone seen Mordack or cmlobue?

Sorry, haven't seen me, but if someone spots me, please let me know.

In honesty, I was sick for a while, then PaizoCon happened, and then I was trying to come up with an explanation for how awful I have been at this. I have PMed Mordack's player and advanced the combat.

I haven also checked with a VO, and if we can't finish from here, everyone will get a chronicle with full rewards except any items you haven't encountered yet need to be crossed out. It's not an option I like, but it is an option.

I'm not in a hurry with this character, so we can do what works for you without rushing it.

Sorry guys. Starting last weekend I had bad travel, bad work on a customer's site. And bad travel home. I've got to focus on catching up at home this weekend. I think things went worse for my wife with our sick dog. Look for a post Monday.

Cmlobue, no worries. I like this game and we can play at your pace. Obviously I've similar issues at times.

This is an FYI that I'll be away in nature next weekend, June 8-9. As this is a weekend I expect minimal disruption and i will return to resume posting Sunday evening (US/Pacific time).

To clarify, I wasn't complaining, I just realized that I hadn't seen any activity in here for a while and at least halfway thought folks were waiting on me.

I don't mind moving slow, especially as people need. I'm enjoying this game and character and I'm curious about how it's all going to turn out.

Yargnod, if it makes you feel better, I just failed a save against fear, initial and reroll, in the run of 6-16 I'm in.

I'm enjoying being a spectator.

Although, I kind of wonder how far away I've gotten, by now.

I will be traveling from June 26 to July 3. I expect to have computer access and will keep the game moving to the best of my ability.

There's a little time before this occurs, but it's a longer time away so I didn't want to spring it at the last moment.

I've got a trip from 7/31 to 8/12, and for much of it I won't have internet access.

Now, all I need to do is convince the GM to let me integrate Justifier into one of the Mechs...

if the portal's affect is a spell or magical effect, Sefel makes it. Otherwise... :grimacing:
