Ah okay. That makes sense.

What Auntie Wu said.
May or may not get a post tonight - our new kitten just had three kittens and we are suddenly a full house!
My copy/paste error, disregard!
No misfortune trait
Vekka falling from the Heat Aura then the Blazing Howl changes the White one's final action, and changes the Purple ones's full round. Going to do some quick clean up.
Those that acted are free to keep their turns as posted, or completely retcon their rounds with new rolls (if necessary).
Oh good point!
Let’s say that folks outside the cottage (in the rain] automatically qualify for the lower DC to remove persistent fire damage, and if they spend an action, they can immediately roll a flat check (at lowered DC) to remove it, per action.
Sound good?
That's what i was planning after reading the Persistent Damage rules.
Reduce the DC of the flat check to 10 for a particularly appropriate type of help, such as dousing you in water to put out flames.

I prepared Aqueous Orb today. This seems like a good situation to use it. (Note that engulfing a creature is a choice, not an automatic attempt.)

Buried two kittens in the front yard - one survived the weekend and the mother did too, we tried our best to keep the litter but circumstances weren’t ideal, and at the cost of lots of sleep. Going to take a day or two before pushing us along.

So sorry to hear. I'm helping to take care of 2 feral kittens and the mom that live behind my house. Been feeding the mom for weeks and the kittens look sickly, but, from what I've seen of feral kittens here in my yard in the past, they most likely will pull through.

Ah, apologies I missed it in discussion (dunno why I was exclusively looking in gameplay).
Sorry to hear about the kittens. Sounds like a tiring ordeal overall, physically and mentally.

Yes, it's 3rd Rank.
For spells, the counteract check modifier is your spellcasting attribute modifier plus your spellcasting proficiency bonus, plus any bonuses and penalties that specifically apply to counteract checks.
Admittedly, I find the rules for Counteracting beyond confusing, so I welcome any advice. It looks like I shouldn't have included my level in the modifier, correct? If so, subtract 5 from all the rolls:
- 5 = 10, failure
- 5 = 9, crit failure
- 5 = 10, failure
- 5 = 21, success
Counteract rules:
- You make a normal skill check.
- The GM, not you, knows the DC. (This is why it's confusing)
- The GM, not you, knows the rank of the effect. (This is why it's confusing)
- Based on the level of success, this determines the maximum rank you can counter.
If the GM doesn't reveal the DC or rank, Counteracting is very opaque to players. You roll and the GM tells you if it worked or not, and you get no real feedback. Like if you missed an attack roll AC by 1 the GM could say "you almost hit but its thick hide barely repelled your blow!" But the rules don't give a lot of flavor to "just failing to dispel" so it's not intuitive.
Paizo's rulebooks have a disadvantage that they lack examples and read more like a technical manual than a written tutorial. I wish they would just provide examples of counteracting, because they tables they present just feel like walls of text.

What is your Spellcasting modifier?
+11?
If so, I think you did it correctly, and if the spell’s Rank is higher than the target’s Rank (2), then it looks like you successfully counteract the effect.

Accessing my computer may be difficult these next two weeks due to internet issues - my combat tracker is harder to do from this device - please bear with!
◆ stride 25'
◆ delay?
Kazuki, here are the rules for Delay
Ah. A free action to delay. Ok. He'll delay until he can see one of the baddies to shoot at. He'll still have purple as his hunted prey.
Read the whole text - it’s a circumstantial free action…

Ok. So I treat it like a spell attack roll and forget everything else.
@Sigurd, I totally agree with you.

To those on fire: I can only move the Aqueous orb 10 ft per round when I sustain it. Do you want me to delay until after your turns so you can move closer to it and get doused for free?
Ran out of time - will take next actions later!
Can someone please move Purple in a straight line down 4 squares (face to face w/ Auntie Wu through the open door)?
Done. BUT I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT :P

Sorry for being a little absent (even though I didn't miss any turns), I'm still getting used to our summer schedule.
As penance, I offer this anecdote for you:
I was driving my kids through some less-than-swanky parts of my less-than-swanky city, and there's a group of people huddled on the sidewalk, playing craps.
"What are they doing?" my younger son asks.
"They're gambling," I say. (They're old enough to understand, and, also, my wife and I have an honesty policy where we don't shield them from mild degeneracy.)
"How do you know?" he asks.
"Because they're rolling dice," I answer.
He replies, "Well, maybe they're playing street D&D."
Lol. Street D&D. Awesome.
Street D&D sounds tight!
Check my HP math, I think I got everything…
If it (Aqueous Orb) fails to counteract a given fire, it can't counteract that fire for the duration of the spell.
Monster statblock says of the heat aura “water cannot douse the flames” but GM is allowing Orb (“Magic water”) to be a soft-hard counter with a 1 round suppress per activation / sustain instead of just “no”…
=)

Good point - yes and easy enough.
Sigurd, you may undo that last damage check and we can proceed
After dealing with Yeri, I imagine the party will take a short rest, then continue exploring.
Just need to know how much time it takes.
I imagine you will have questions... shoot!
Did we not set up a watch because nobody explicitly specified it, or because it just fit the narrative? I'm okay either way, but I think we should just set up a default watch if it's the first case.
And I assume that there's a typo in the main post, and that it was Yeri that attacked us, not Yami (since Yami rolled initiative). Again, it's okay, either way, just want to be clear.
Yeri attacked, the woman. She is trying to kill Sigurd.
Yami is also getting involved, the cat. Unfortunately, he didn’t wake up.
=)

A cat not waking up to such a loud ruckus? Whoever wrote the scenario doesn't know cats very well.

Yami might be awake, but pretending to sleep in the hopes that the irritation will stop on its own soon enough. Refusing to respond is definitely a cat thing.
Regarding the watch, let's just say it was Auntie Wu's turn and she dozed off or something. We as players forgot about setting a watch, but our PCs probably wouldn't have. We'll have to do a better job of remembering in the future.
It seems like a narrative thing and also the fact that several party members believed she was save when we made those sense motive rolls some time back. Maybe Vekka would have been nervous and wanted to stay up? He never really trusted.
Regarding a watch schedule, Kazuki is willing to take first watch. He likes to harden the tips of his arrow shafts in the campfire before attaching the arrow heads.
That big bird sleeping gif was damn funny. Lol.
For those curious about how Yeri was able to lull you into a false sense of security, feel free to open this spoiler after the fight: LINK
(Yes it could have gone a completely different way...)
Also, Lan, Auntie Wu, and Kazuki, what are your Unarmored ACs?
And Yes, we should put together a SOP for watches moving forward...
You can Interact to Swap an Item as a single action.
That's what I thought. Thank you. I kind of remember that from the beginning of the game when we talked about it.
Correct.
One Interact action to sheathe. (Or alternatively, one Release action to drop)
One Interact action to Swap.
Can he keep his concentration while constricted?
Please don’t hesitate to point out to me if I’ve made a rules mistake - there is no text on abilities you are not aware of, just “Spellstrike” with “Ignition” while “Grabbed”

sorry, that wasn't a question to the GM more just narrative flavor for "will he pass this check?".
