You shut your trash mouth... it was one time! XD
One time! On three separate occasions!

No post tonight. Too tired to feel confident I can sort through this without missing something.

Moon, where did the +3 come from?
That's my innate bonus for being awesome! :D
OR it is a 2-Handed Power Attack "PA(2H)" bonus = -1/+3

Moon Akechi |

No worries. I try to put all my combat mods next to my 'Mods:' entry in my attack spoiler. I should have spelled it out better for the first post... sorry about that! 2H, PA(2H) is a bit cryptic.

Unfortuntely, due to real-life events, I have been struggling to keep up (and my posts have suffered even when I have managed to be online).
As a result, it makes most sense for me to leave the party. I have really enjoyed my limited time being part of the adventure and appreciate the opportunity.
Finally, good luck and have a great time (which I know you will).

DM-Salsa |

Sorry to hear that. I wish you luck and I hope things calm down for you soon. I'm always here if you need to talk.

Culver Cobbletoss |

1. Hope to see you around the boards Voronoy.
2. I'M BACK! Huge apologies guys. We had a power outage that lasted two days, and when we got it back, my hard-drive was fried. Motherboard was dead.
I got my hands on a "backup" laptop today, finally, and here I am. Will post this evening.
Sorry

Casina Brochus |

Sorry to see you go, Voronoy!
Welcome back, Culver!

Yikes. RIP your poor PC. I know what that's like.
1x HP laptop (2009)

Glad you're okay and back in action, just in time for the festivities!

Is anyone going to mind if I invoke rule of cool on crits against regular ol' Bestiary 1 goblins?

DM-Salsa |

Cool!
Also, I should apparently be playing hard rock and heavy metal while writing up my GM posts. That is one of the best sets of rolls I've ever had. Dragula was playing when I rolled those three crit threats.
Sorry Moon. Apparently the RNG decided you were too OP.

Maidie Henrod |

Yikes - that's the danger of large groups. It usually means many enemies and then the odds of someone going from full hp to negatives in a single round are high. Especially at 1st level.
Also, Bimbur and Culver have not acted in the first round of combat yet. If we are going to make it without casualties, we need all hands on deck.

DM-Salsa |

Bimbur's first round actions were getting up and grabbing his bow.
And honestly, with the way I normally roll, large groups aren't that dangerous. I just rolled three nat 20s on those bow attacks.
Culver: Go ahead and post your first and second round actions.

Casina Brochus |

I haven't posted my actual action yet in case you wanted to do something nifty with your spellcasting.
Also, @Salsa how much light do we actually have from the campfire?

DM-Salsa |

I haven't been keeping track of it. Let's say it's enough to see and fight by without penalty within 60 ft and dim lighting 120 ft from that.
Or if you prefer, we can just handwave it as y'all can see well enough to know where the green blighters are.

Maidie Henrod |

Don’t sweat missing the crit confirm, Casina. I doubt there’s much goblin left after 17 points of base damage.
Go, Team Scary Giant!

DM-Salsa |

Invoking Rule of cool again. Scratch two goblins. I'll get a post up later today.

DM-Salsa |

Okay, so I haven't heard from Keth since his last post here. I hope he's okay, but I don't really want to GMPC him. I'm planning on having him take Voronoy back to Kassen after we wrap up this fight. I know Culver's having some computer issues, to put it mildly. I think I'll have him tag along and he'll basically follow orders for now.
I hope this was fun. I'd forgotten how complex combat could get.

Maidie Henrod |

Super fun and a bit scary for our brave heroes.
I'll admit, the role of combat medic diving running straight at a bunch of murderous goblins to administer aid was not one I pictured Maidie playing.
Then again, I was a medic during my army days, and old habits die hard, I guess.
Sorry to lose Keth and Woolf (again), but I agree that Culver should be able to tag along until he has a chance to resolve his tech trouble.

I'd be having more fun if I could confirm lol
I'm definitely sensing a pattern with my posts.

Casina Brochus |

Just checking in with everyone.

DM-Salsa |

I'm good. Post coming in after game night with my friends tonight. Sorry about not posting last night. I was out of it.

Casina Brochus |

Are we not your friends?!

Maidie Henrod |

I'm here... waiting patiently for Maidie to be able get out of her current position of lying face down in mud and blood while her buddies mop up the gobbos.
And you are all my new friends.

DM-Salsa |

I just heard from Culver's player. He's not coming back before Christmas due to stuff going on in real life.
Sorry for the delay in posting. I'll try and wrap up this fight this weekend. (It's pretty much over. Just need to write stuff out and resolve a few things.)

Thank you everyone for you patience. I apologize if it's a little lackluster. I wanted to keep this moving rather than try for perfection of prose.

I'm just gonna leave this here.
In other news, it sounds like I may have just given the group a mascot.
Oh dear, what have I done?

Something like this happened in the Emerald Spire Superdungeon game I've been in for a few years. We accidentally got a xulgath named Slaagh exiled from his tribe after we deactivated the machine they were worshiping as a god, so now he's tagging along with the party as our torchbearer and providing the occasional bit of commentary!

DM-Salsa |

Actually tried to do that in a Return of the Runelords game I was in. Botched the diplo-roll though.

Okay, I'm getting SORELY tempted to adopt Meep. She's just so pathetic!
I knew it! You’re such a big softie under that gruff exterior, Betz.
But seriously. Of course we’re adopting Meep. She’s adorable.

Post coming this evening. I'll be honest, introducing a poor, adorable goblin to be adopted wasn't on my bingo card, but here we are. :D

Casina Brochus |

Hey, you did that to yourself lol.

Don't pull the curtain!
It'll be so much more fun after we take Meep into our hearts when -- in the heat of battle -- you post:
And then Meep resumes her true form and flays the flesh from <insert Character Name>.
