Busy weekend,

We're still at the bottom of the order right?

Next up is Ciri...

hits once

Yeah I didn't figure that 17% on displacement was a good thing :)

The creature benefits from a 50% miss chance as if it had total concealment.

A couple of rules Q's for brvheart:

1) I was in melee with the fighter and got cone of cold'ed by Hafrung. "5) Area of Affect Spells:
A) The action of combat is considered a dance, therefore when an area of affect spell affects enemies that are in melee combat with adjacent characters they are considered to be in the area of affect."
Is the fighter affected by cone of cold?

2) I notice that there have been a couple of Nat 20's rolled by the opposition, ( Here(1) and Here(2) ). But you didn't roll the critical confirmations... Are we not playing with criticals on PC's?

1) yes, but is a judgement call I don't always rule it in AOE

2) i usually roll for a threat yes, but I have not seen one lately.

A quick tactics discussion here folks. IF we pursue the wizard, we end up in the dragon's face again... and we probably also set ourselves up to take another hit from the wizard. We don't have the HP for that.
So I think we should head back, closing doors behind us (and jamming them if possible, to keep the wizard from sneaking up on us again...) I have a wand to heal us up; the others seem to be doing OK against the hydra (although I wonder if there is more to the anvil of the ambush than that...). Once we get ourselves healed up we could then maybe go look for the wizard some more...

Ok, I think I'm missing part of a side conversation here. To be clear, no one has thrown any fireballs around. I'm not sure what the bit about Energy Resistance (Fire) is...

Fralk has chucked a web spell from a wand.

PS. Thoron, how can you know about the dragon? No one has actually said anything (up until me, know), and you can't have gotten to line of sight...

Actually that was the half-fiend not the dragon.

I may have misunderstood this reference, in the upper chamber was there a half-fiend a dragon or both?

There was both: the red dragon, and the high priest of Set who fled from us to the dragon's lair was a half-fiend.

WRT to tactics, do you agree it's time for us to withdraw?

Not a big fan of withdraw, let's see how the next couple of rounds play out. Also, our conversation here in discussion may or may not have an effect on Ratel's actions. If Terodius wants to talk tactics he probably should talk in game.

Jim's blood is up, he wants a piece of that mage.

Ok, IC it is.

I'm a little confused Nomi and Thorn Both attacked on Oct. 3rd. along with the Hdra

There was a fair amount of chatter, six posts, and Terodius Retreated. Then yesterday the Hydra attacked again, and I asked about where we were at in the order. Brv posted the lower part of the order again.

I don't think Ciri has gone, but the hydra went twice and now Nomi has gone again. Am I missing something?

Edit:Hmmm "Haffrung Helleyes casts a wall of ice." neither Jim nor Ratel went in round five, are we in round five or still in round four?

As soon as I know the round number, I can start posting it with my action... Might help.

I'm a bit confused too, but I saw my nomi-name and took advantage! Damn thing is sprouting heads! :)

Cut off the feet, they don't grow back...

I let Brvheart sort the order of actions. I just post a bit early to let people know I'm paying attention.

Not being ungrateful, but the issue with horse chopper is...

I wouldn't have Slashing Grace (+Dex to damage) with it.

It's weapon specific Slashing Grace (Dogslicer).

Pathfinder rules as written encourage martial characters to hyperspecalize on a particular weapon. Not my favourite design choice.

I forgot to mention, Slashing Grace only works with a one-handed weapon and if that weren't enough, requires a free hand.

I'm getting away with a buckler. If I'm doing anything wrong, please call it out.

I never have a problem with you guys posting and I sort it out;)

True, but you haven't posted the 5th round, what are we waiting on?

Waiting on Ciri

It's still Finesseable, make a will save for ego check if you want it to do something different, it has intelligence as a familiar, so quite low ego, but Ophidian (insert better name) is trying to protect and help you, but both Finesse and slashing grace work with a buckler because even with a gauntlet, your hand is free. The bracelet is always on your wrist even when not using the weapon, part of the bond and shapechange abilities.

Minor note, I don't think you're allowed to use arcane strike with rays...

FAQ

It's in a errata, it applies to the all attack actions, including weapon like spells, i.e. rays

I saw that a long time ago, was refering to to the die of healing.

I got a 4 on the die, the +1 is the adjustment for the level of the wand.
