GM Euan's Jade Regent

Game Master Euan

Campaign Info seems to suggest that he was using hard corners, but maybe only for doorways - it is unclear.
Would be good to know since I expect the same rules would apply to enemies.

I just remember a previous combat situation in an earlier game, where a goblin or something took a hard corner as a 5ft step in combat. So, I've taken advantage of the house rule from then on out. Maybe I'm miss-remembering it. Not trying to cause any trouble or break the universe or anything :)

Ahhh, sorry for the confusion.

It’s true, in my prior campaigns I did do soft corners, but as warned, I’ve reverted back to the correct hard corners as Pathfinder calls for.

However, in this case, the curve of the tower is (to me) clearly cut prior to the corner - in the NW square. So it does not block as it is not in the way. It’s artistic shadow lingers over the line, but I don’t count art as being in the way.

Apologies Durgan, I should have realized what you were doing and why and advised you it was an OK move - without an AoO.

No worries. Guarding the towers against the Ogrekin climbing up is a fine thing to do.

This battle seems well in hand.

"I'm guessing she has climbed the wall. We had her surrounded."

that would certainly make her hard for Storm to track, maybe I should change my post....

Sorry, mentally and emotionally whipped today. Normally I figure if I have the time to post in discussion, I can make a short post in game instead. Sadly, today is going be the exception to that. I've occasionally mentioned that I take care of my mom full time. I use the games here to keep myself distracted from RL. I normally try and post once a day in the games that are moving whatever is happening in RL. I told a few folks that she passed last Thursday, it was not unexpected, she'd fought dementia for the last ten years and her health had slipped. But today was the funeral, twenty-two family members from out of town, at the funeral home and here at the house. The headed home and we just finished dinner, but I'm whipped. I thought I had the energy for this tonight, but I just don't. I'll get a post up in the morning, and things should be back to normal quickly. I know it isn't a big deal to miss a day of posting, but I did want to explain. The community here is super, and I know you all understand.

We don't all happen to share an obscure language, do we?

Can't exactly discuss tactics openly in front of the Oni.

That may be a use for a skill point next level.

@Rory- Small-sized characters have a -4 on Str checks to open doors, so feel free to ask one of us to do that next time.

Special attacks and resistances please. I will share what I can verbally on my turn, but limited to what I could say in a few seconds.

Talkings free, please share the info with the group, Rory has no idea :)

Level Up!

I do believe you should now be level 4.

Please note the things that have changed or been added, and put it all in a spoiler so those who don't want to know your build can remain in the dark. For those of you with character sheets off site, please send me your updated sheets for reference if applicable. Thanks.

You gain all of your new abilities right away, including new spells and the like. However, you do not regain what you’ve already used/cast for today. It’s not a rest exactly, just a gain.

In the tracking sheet, please move the Scroll of Dispel Magic to the “to sell” pile. Moose reminds Mukluk that to attain Mulevana, one must avoid attachments, and so he will let this scroll go.

I'll take that scroll.
Much prefer using found items to selling and buying.

Last level: March 30, 2024.

If Koya is helping, Mukluk will begin his first crafting, using some of the monies from the expedition to the keep.

Headband 4,000 gp
Cost to craft: 2,000 gp

DC 13 to craft, which Mukluk (and with Moose's help) can take 10 Spellcraft to do it easily.

Should take about 5 days.

If anyone else has anything that they need wondrously crafted, plz speak to Mukluk or Moose. I think we have 2 weeks to the next location and MM can probably get a project or two more done.

Kisaiya will pay back Mukluk the 600 gp she owes him

She would like Boots of the Cat, if Mukluk would be so kind. She’ll still have 500 gp to pay for the mats after paying her debt.

Check and check! I think Kisaiya still owes Moose a bag of carrots in interest.

Mukluk can auto check to craft the boots, and they will go rather quickly.

Seems like Mukluk will have enough time to craft 1 more 4000 gp or so item before we get to our next destination.

hmmm one more 4000 gp items, dibs? let me go look, brb

Edit: I have three items on my 'halfling hunters needs list:
Spell Lattice: 1,000 gp.
Runestone of Power: 2,000 gp.
Mnemonic Vestment 5,000 gp.

could you do two runestones? not that I won't go look at 4.000 gp items

Previous total: 752 GP
New distribution: 1,978 GP
Set aside for Church of Abadar: 198 GP
New total: 2,532 GP

"Where to now, Kisaiya? Back to the caravan? Or should we ask around subtly about finding a guide? There might be such a guide here in the Jade Quarter, or we can go elsewhere."

Durgan is decent at Bluff if that is a skill required to keep one's inquiries quiet. Gets to +9 with his domain power.

I apologize, if I'd kept Rory with the group I'd ask in game. I thought we were searching for the fellow that had the sword. We probably shouldn't look for a guide until we have what we came for and are ready to leave town.

Durgan clearly wants nothing to do with the taking of prisoners. He doesn't strip anyone of their weapons, nor tie anyone up, nor make any demands. He just stays out of the way.

Just to double check, the only prisoner is the wife. I believe anyone who was not unconscious fled.

As far as I'm concerned we take her up on her offer. Take whatever isn't nailed down, but leave her stuff for her.

"This is absolutely looting, Rory...."

Yes, I do understand that APs expect PCs to generally loot opponents they defeat.

What a great post!

It's sad when the wolf agrees with the dwarf...

It is a Trick to teach an animal to utilize a single spell like Water Walk or Water Breathing, and a fairly high DC to Push them to do a Trick they don't know, but Rory should have a +12?

yes, with the + 4 when it comes to storm he does have a + 12, it looks like the DC is 25, so, when the time comes if Rory can't 'push' him, we go without. Can Rory try to 'push' Storm before the spell is cast so we know if the spell is on Rory or Storm?

(which is, I forgot to note, Cold Iron on top of being Magical, Bludgeoning, and Piercing - quite a handy weapon).

I love morningstars :)

Level Up!

I do believe you should now be level 5.

Durgan is leveled up, sheet sent via PM.

Mukluk contemplates a new admantine waffle iron, or maybe something frivolous. He's gunna get murdert in this hive of scum and villainy, so might as well have some nice waffles if he's going to go.

He's gunna get murdert in this hive of scum and villainy,

Maybe he should get a lightsaber...

Rory will also recieve 2,502.5 gp for the sale of the maigical saddle and the buckler: expenditures, + 1 scimitar 2.315 gp. + 1 buckler 1,155, + 1 to storms armor 1,000 gp. + 1 cloak of resistance. totaling 5,470‬ gp.

Durgan is going to buy something after all.

A Lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend Spell for 3,000 GP, leaving home with 1,061 GP.

Just a heads up. I'm headed out of town this afternoon. My laptop is broken enough I can't take it with me, so I won't be back online/in games until sometime Sunday afternoon

Sure... why not!

Level Up!

I do believe you should now be level 6.

I really appreciate the opportunity to re-prepare spells before a potential boss fight.

Even beyond healing and combat buffs, I value problem-solving. Cleric offers solutions to a lot of challenges that would otherwise lead to defeat or at least incredible frustration.

Rory and I are in a game where, lacking such capabilities, a dungeon became so immensely frustrating that the game seems on the verge of collapse (Deeper Darkness, Stinking Cloud, and other such shenanigans just dragging things out to take forever). That party has made as far as they have only after an interminable slog. A fate I'd like to avoid for this campaign. If all that Durgan could ever do was spare us such frustration, I'd call him a success.

I'd like some opinions on what I should do. Understanding that Painlord does not wish to share or know character capabilities, I will spoiler this.

Also FYI - on phone for the next few days so no Roll20 or Slack. I should be able to manage.

I'm a little lost on the gold shares.

Assuming that we make the necessary caravan upgrades (887 due, plus 2000 more for the crafting wagon, so 2,887) that decreases our shares by 577.4 each, meaning our shares of 6,674 are now 6,096.6 each.

Durgan had 1,061 before this distribution. He will have 7,157.6 after.

Is that right?

I'm ok with those numbers,

I suggest, rather than leaving the caravan with no money at all, and having to track tricky math, you each simply donate 600gp to the caravan out of the 6,674 you get. Look ma, no fractions! :)

But it's totally up to you all. Durgan's math does work as well.

I'm good either way, GM Euan's figures do give a little more money to our 'cash strapped' caravan....

Though, the 'Caravan' is starting to feel a little like a network marketing scheme, I thought it was supposed to making us money...

Euan's plan sounds good.
So we each get 6,074.
Durgan donates 10% (plus a few silvers) to the Church of Abadar for local civic improvements.
His new total is 6,527.
