Erik, you still with us?
So unless someone has an idea what she can do, she will be taking full defence as an action
Makes sense. Sounds like we need to get you a ranged weapon.
For times like this. For sure.
Yuki, if I'd known you didn't have a ranged weapon, I (a) could give you Dare's crossbow as it is a backup she is unlikely to ever need much (she'll use ranged cantrips first), and (b) would have suggested we get you one out of the 1,000 gp credit from Oleg. All we bought was Adela's 350 gp armor (GM, did I get my two potions of Shield of Faith?). So we're only 450 down, if I got my potions, and have plenty to spare. Would it be okay with everyone to use the credit to get that for you when we get back? My understanding is a lot of this adventure involves outdoor encounters so some are going to start from fairly far away--and as we get to higher levels, we may have to deal with flying enemies. So ranged weapon is gonna be useful (and I don't think it's really metagaming to consider that given our in character mission is to explore the wilderness).
As for helpful actions, I think you get a standard action. Total defense works, but you could also move and/or draw a weapon or take out another item you might want to use.
If I may selfishly suggest, also use a free action to draw Dare's attention to the actual spider. ;)
I didn't think we'd encounter a giant spider just yet. She's a melee build. Kinda. :P
Will sort it when back

You've got a +3 to Dex. You can certainly use a ranged weapon competently enough; don't need a "ranged build," just be able to handle stuff when the attacker is in the sky or a tree or just far away.
(For this fight, I pictured the scene as we were much closer to the spider, FWIW. I honestly thought we were like 20 feet away at most.)

She did do that at least. She was pointing behind you at the SPIDER
It plays out better organically this way rather than trying to go back and retroactively decide she'd bought a weapon, IMO. No adventurer's perfect!
And sure Dare, assume you got the potions you wanted.

I decided to give you all the benefit of not being that close, because the spider would've jumped you long before you got there.

Just waiting on Erik. Last post was 6/17, saying he'd be out until 6/25 which was two weeks ago. I hope everything is ok. (I'll bot him tomorrow if he hasn't checked in by then.)
Snooping into the player's profile, it looks like they are posting in their other games. I wonder if they aren't seeing post updates for the thread; that's happened to me on occasion. GM I'd suggest dropping a line to them via DM.
I am alive, just have been not feeling chatty...
Sprry everybody, been packing for a road trip. Will post shortly but yeah, Rhiann's good with taking point.
I wanted to ask, have you guys dealt with the bandit camp yet? Where those first bandits came from?
Yes, we've dealt with the Thorn river camp and Kressle.
Permanently. Dun Dun Duh!
Oki dokie. Good to know.
Thanks =^^=
I finally remembered to get her Art uploaded
Nice art.
I was lucky. I was looking for female Cleric pictures and the perfect one showed up almost instantly.
One of those where they match your image of your character perfectly.
I know the feeling
But I had this one made
So official art or how ever you want to label it :P
Ps
Too bad we aren't on the fast XP track. Would've been close to level 3 :P
@GM
I'm wondering if she can have a few prank items (the same type) she hands out or buries with those she thinks needs/would benefit from them in the after life?
I'm currently thinking a deck of cards in a box. And it basically lets you play "Pick up 52" when opened
Perhaps 3sp or 4sp?
Sure! As long as your items don't have any mechanical uses, we can say you have on hand whatever trinkets you like. (So no, like, "I use my card-scattering box to locate the invisible monster" or whatever. If you want to do that, we'll have to agree ahead of time what items you've got and what they can do.) Maybe like 2 gp to cover them all?
Awesome.
Much appreciated
Been on the road. Finally in Kansas. Will post in the morning
