☠ Season of Ghosts w/ DM rainzax ☠

Game Master rainzax

The >Light< spell can counteract magical darkness, assuming I can target the darkness directly.
- Do I know if the darkness is magical?
- Do I know if I can target the magic?

Sigurd knows how to stop Kugaptee's Anger from a >Spiritual< POV, so feel free to open that spoiler. Does anyone want to attempt a Matter or Life based analysis?

Vekka, yes.

Sigurd, I think that is a legitimate question for Recall Knowledge, or Trial and Error. (It is unknown to your character).

=)

Vekka,
Do you have the link for the Light spell?

Auntie Wu and Sigurd cross-posted the RK check: you get one question total!

I do. I suppose I should attach it to Vekka to save the action each round to sustain it, but that can also be done next round. The initial casting was meant to give the party an initial view of the space.

Vekka, put a Light Token on the Map!

Kazuki, please make that Mitigation skill check!

Done, I'm going to keep it as the single point as I think the 20/40ft radii would be pretty unwieldy on the map, covering up others and such.

Lan can't see in the darkness, but he casts a 3-action heal spell to blast healing to all around.

Heal, 3rd rank, 3-action: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 4, 2) + 3 = 16

It's overkill for some, but I also wanted to see if we can target the haunt with vitality.

It looks like this roll doesn't factor in the dimmed Vitality in the dreamscape, per the Life Essense spoiler in this post. Is that correct? If so, we could simply ignore the last number rolled (in this case a 2) to simplify things. Thoughts?

Bump!

Right. Answer the question and then I'll run this heart into the field goal!

I forgot about that! I agree with the proposed solution - the +3 should be reduced to a +2, as well, as Sorcerous Potency depends on the spell level as well (so it should have been 2d8+2 instead of 3d8+3).

Kazuki, please make that Mitigation skill check!

Could you please remind me what a Mitigation skill check is? ;)

Nevermind.
There wasn't a check listed for
"Take Cover while Prone: +4c to Reflex vs Lacerating Tendrils."
I can understand my post made it seem like Kazuki was doing the acrobatics thing. Ok. Hang on.

I second Sigurd's question in Gameplay.

There wasn't a check listed for

"Take Cover while Prone: +4c to Reflex vs Lacerating Tendrils."

Take Cover and Prone are specific game terms (thus why I capitalize)

Pro Tip: Everytime I create an overlaying aura in slides, which covers everyone else's tokens, I then immediately "Cut/Paste" all the other PC / Monster Tokens.

Because, if someone puts their cursor over two objects, the "most recent" is offered first.

This trick allows people to still easily move their tokens though my aura.

(I just did this for Sigurd's Heart Light)

=)

You can also use Arrange -> Order -> Send backward (or Ctrl-downarrow) to move it backward.

Religion or Nature to (◆◆) say a short prayer. This Slows, but does not permanently disable the Haunt. You can be anywhere in the dreamscape to use this action, and you only need to be able to detect Kugaptee with an imprecise sense or better (so, even if blinded by darkness, etc).

Clarification: Does this require the Seek action prior to using this action?

No.

You can just do it.

Perhaps I was being overly specific…

With the party spreading out, be mindful of your spell ranges!

Am I mistaken or was Vekka's last hero point usage not marked off on the tracker?

I'm not sure whether everything here is happening simultaneously, or in turns. Lan has normal vision and no light source, so if Sigurd and Vekka have already moved, Lan is in the dark and moves half speed. If he's moving simultaneously with Sigurd, he can keep up. I've put two icons on the map, one (to the NE, lagging behind the group) if he's in the dark, and the other (to the SW, next to Sigurd) if he can keep up.

Going to stick to Encounter rules as written - you are all welcome to make use of clever Delay and Ready tactics as you please.

=)

How high up on the stone slab is Tan Sui-Jing? For some reason, I thought it was like an altar, the top being only 3 ft off the ground. Sigurd mentioned climbing up and lowering a rope.

I have no idea how high up she is.

Kazuki, an answer to your questions coming soon! (But: HINT)

Players, remember that the Light Spell creates “bright 20” and “dim 40” so you gotta stay within 20 feet of your nearest light source else pay Difficult Terrain cost for movement due to being Blinded.

From a spot glance, it looks like you are all doing it, just keeping us honest!

Right! We can just walk up the pillar. The text says "with enough willpower". Lan is the only one who tried it, but he rolled a nat 1 on his will save/check and assumed he failed.

Lan doesn't fail, it's clearly an impossible task.

Kazuki,
Rolling a d20 to decide if you are going to re-roll a d20 is shenanigans in PbP format.

If you need to flip a coin use a d2 please.

Oh, crap! I never thought of that! Gotcha.

All good.

Awaiting your roll in Gameplay!

At work. Will post when I get home in a couple hours.

Kazuki - Acrobatics is not a skill you can use to climb - please ignore those rolls - the skills are HERE and HERE - you have already rolled one in your last post HERE - please roll another - and total them together to see how high you have climbed!

Odd. I'm not getting notifications of anything posted in Gameplay, but Discussion notifications work just fine. Until I get it figured out, please nudge me in Discussion if necessary.

Make sure you didn't accidentally hide the Gameplay thread. If you go to the Gameplay forum, and it's greyed out or whatever, it's hidden. There's a little Ø symbol somewhere that toggles whether it's hidden or not.

Wondering why I'm forced to go up the tower. I was hoping to have the heart to take up there.

Why can't I wait for Sigurd to pass me the heart or wait for someone to follow me up?
