Shayla: Climb with Acrobatics work for you?

Acrobatics(E) +12. Follow the Expert available.

btw, there is a big typhoon here where I am. So if either Charlies or I go dark, then we've either lost power or internet...

Good luck!

"RAAAAAAAAA! :)" Dreadfang, have a hero point.

There was a tie for second.

** spoiler omitted **

Shayla gets the other Hero Point.

I would like to thank the Society for this award. You like me! You really like me! :-D

Stay safe, you two.

Hope that you are doing alright over there.

I can't compete with that, but I do have a fever and a head that feels like an overinflated balloon.

If I don't post and/or post incoherently it's probably that. (I keep catching myself messing up words that sound similar but are completely unrelated, like I typed "fills" instead of "feels" up there. In written text! How strange.)

Sounds like you are going to charge in? Should I roll initiative or did you have any time to discreetly buff yourselves?

I have no buffs beside compositons, so no for me

shayla's just gonna hang back and throw knives...

Seems like we are going in. Only buff I have is resist energy, and that's more for the fiery doggos, I'd bet...

Seems that way. Battle will commence...

Time for one of my "favorite" requests. Maybe the last time I'll have to do this before the remaster.

Who is not immune to evil damage? This usually affects Good aligned people and creatures with an explicit Good weakness.

Estes, being an angel, can certainly be damned by these devil's attacks, but I don't know about the rest of you.

Xun is Neutral Good -> he is affected by evil damage.

CN here

CG here.

Neutral Good. Being mean is not nice.

Sorry about those rolls, Estes. You are a fantastic double edged sword, but Green kept rolling high against you. I'm pretty sure you can't get close enough to Green without provoking.

Note that Estes is dying with persistent damage.

Under >Counteract< rules, you need a DC 21 check. The counteract level is rank 3.

Casters use their spellcasting ability bonus to counter. If you're using a skill, use your relevant skill modifier (I think that's your Medicine skill check bonus.)

shayla's gonna need help... not a caster and no relevant skill to speak of! :)

This is the kind of situation where one regrets being a low-wisdom cleric... Fingo has a lot of healing but his counteract modifier is quite bad...

Dice can be pretty deadly, I understand.

How would it work if one was to use 2 actions to attempt to stop someone's bleeding, following the rules for assisted recovery from persistent damage?
A medicine check to see if it counts as'effective help' to reduce the DC?

There wouldn't be much point doing it if it just have another dc20 flat check, but these barbazu wounds seem to have a lot of special rules to prevent testing them, so I'd assume that just using the two actions is not enough :-)

Spending multiple actions to reduce the Flat DC to 15 for 1 round sounds fine to me. The counteract rules specify a spell or item effect of some kind. Emergency First Aid doesn't really fall into either category.

Thinking about it, Charlies wouldn't be bleeding, because only Estes was struck, right?

Been looking for answers about this, on how persistent damage works on eidolon after they are dismissed, but I can't find any. XD

Fingo's highest roll this entire combat has been a 13... the flat check is gonna be rough with that kind of luck.

I think Shayla will take Medicine for a skill next level... I try to make my characters not be medics all the time but it's really hard not to have more than one healer in each party! :)

Yeah... I end up with some sort of healing on nearly every single character as well, even when not initially planning to... I just miss it too much when in a group with limited healing.
Looks like we have plenty of healing options in this group though :-)

I did the same with my rogue. It’s super-handy, and versatility is key.

Does anyone want to Scout? I can, otherwise I’ll Avoid Notice.

Shayla can scout. But can she check for traps at the same time?

If you had >Trap Finder<, you could do something besides Search and still find traps.

Do you have any abilities that let you use multiple Exploration skills?

Alright folks, we're up to the finale for part 1. Feel free to roll your downtime checks. Once we wrap this encounter up, I'll send the chronicles. Once you tell me if they look good, I'll report the game and we can get started on Part 2.

Performance, Downtime: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Dreadfang spends his downtime playing chess in the park for money.

Warfare Lore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

DC 16 Performance to Earn Income: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Dreadfang spends his downtime playing chess in the park for money.

[dice=Warfare Lore]1d20+9

you a hustler, eh? :)

Performance, DC18: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 pff 8cp x 8 = 0.64 gp

Intimidation and Deception are surprisingly lucrative :-)

That's an explosive round 1, and we're not even done yet!

Liam spends seven days retraining. So this is just one day: Crafting: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Fingo, who still thinks he is more bard than cleric, performs to earn his keep.

Performance earn income with mask: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

The performance is lackluster.

I think yellow should have 9dmg (I'm assuming the 25 hits, and I forgot +1 for inspire courage...)

Correct you are. I'll update that now.

Does flanking apply to Ranged combat? Even positioned behind Charlies Shayla is within range of Yellow (Strong Arm Feat - +10' range)

Does flanking apply to Ranged combat? Even positioned behind Charlies Shayla is within range of Yellow (Strong Arm Feat - +10' range)

The answer is no. Flanking rules:

'A creature is flat-footed (taking a –2 circumstance penalty to AC) to melee attacks from creatures that are flanking it.'

So if you stand next to a creature, you can provide flanking to others, but if you are throwing knife, the creature would not be flat footed to you

That's the end of 3-04: Devil Wrought Disappearance!

I'll try to get the character sheets up by tomorrow so you can check for errors. If it looks good, I'll report the game and then we can continue with 3-07: The Locked Lodge.

I hope you're having fun and wish to continue with the next scenario. Feel free to provide any feedback for me.

Performance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Shayla performs some acrobatic tricks with Arnisant for a few coins.

She's also going to be doing some shopping before the next adventure...

Shayla, you rolled your Earn Income earlier (and it was a higher check, so I rolled that.)

>CLICK HERE< for your chronicles. Please make sure they are accurate. If they look good I'll start reporting the game and preparing 3-07.

I thought I did. Chronicle looks good!

Looks good to me, thanks a lot! Looking forward to Part II!
