Sigurd - I remember you cast a travel spell this morning - which was it again?
>Safe Passage<, which I realize only works for 1 minute, so it's not good for long term travel. If you're OK, I won't cast this spell as soon as we leave.
Yes, I am okay with that.
If you'd like to keep it prepared, or swap it out, that is up to you.
As to your CFing the Fortitude save, which is treated as a F due to party Survivalists - it will mean that later in the day (not now - only about 1 hour after hiking) you will be Fatigued!
Since Auntie is the main healer in the party, she can carry my vapor flowers, if I were to get any.
Does the cliff on the map go up to a plateau, or does it go down to a valley below? To me, it looks like it goes up to a plateau covered in trees.
Gah! I thought it went up to a plateau! Kazuki moves to the other side and travels along the eastern cliff that goes up to the forest above.
You are welcome to keep or revise your actions based on developing information, Auntie Wu. Just waiting for your confirmation either way.
@ Everyone,
I marked the map to denote where the different elevations are. Hope it is clear enough?
I didn't realize there were 2 messages above and below. But it makes sense, we're partway up a mountain cliff.
3 elevations total
You guys are the middle path
@Auntie Wu,
Going to give you another redo while we await Kazuki’s rolls
I linked the rules for Hidden in my last GM post go check those out
I may have read hunter's aim wrong...
When you focus on aiming, your attack becomes particularly accurate. Make a ranged weapon Strike against your hunted prey. On this Strike, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the attack roll and ignore your prey’s concealed condition and any lesser cover.
It's two actions to aim and then strike, right? I don't need to spend two actions to aim and then a separate action to strike?

Ok thanks. I was mistaken at first. I thought I had to use two actions to aim, then a separate action to make a strike.
Glad i was wrong.

@Auntie Wu,
Going to give you another redo while we await Kazuki’s rollsI linked the rules for Hidden in my last GM post go check those out
Hidden: "A creature might be able to use the Seek action to try to observe you."
This is why I put in my Perception modifier so you could roll the secret Seek check. I'm hoping to avoid having to roll the DC 11 flat check. If you rule that she can't do this, I'll instead have her Interact to grab her shield and Raise a Shield (bringing her AC to 23) for those two actions.
I have made two mistakes then, misunderstanding a key aspect of "hide and seek".
Sigurd, would you prefer to Seek (as you clearly stated) instead of Point Out as well?
Let me know, as then I will roll those Secret Checks for you both, then move to adjusting Kazuki's turn (if needed), then Creature, then Vekka...
=)
If Sigurd knows of the creature's location, he will Point Out to his teammates. (I hadn't realized Sigurd had located the creature when I first posted his turn)
If he doesn't know where the creature is, he would Stride, Seek, and Point Out (or Raise his Shield if he can't find it)
Hidden means known and targetable, just flat check to actually hit.
I will keep your turn how it is played when I do my next GM post…

Hide and Seek combats can be frustrating, even when GM doesn't forget half of the rules.
Questions here as needed.
GM Request: please roll and spoiler your own secret checks (with Hero Point specifications inside spoiler, if any) for ease of GM running.
Can I hunt prey on it if the creature is hidden?
If not, but I do manage to strike the creature, then can I hunt prey?
Was the creature disguised as the person in distress and since I already marked it as my prey, then is it still marked as my prey?
I’m allowing Hunt Prey sexy factor of not having to roll the flat check just to target. Everything else (Strikes, spells targeting defenses, etc), yes.
But, the distraction “person” and the actual Willowisp are two different targets, so “no” to your question.

I don't understand this. Can you rephrase it, please? I don't know what a sexy factor is.
Sorry.
You can Hunt Prey a concealed / hidden foe with impunity, no flat check roll needed.
Still need to roll a flat check to target it with a Strike, Spell, other Ability etc.
May get a ruling at a different table - this here is my ruling.
Vekka,
Cross-post!
You have its location.
It’s natural invisibility prevents Seek from turning Hidden to Observed.
So, Hidden is the best you can get.
It’s between Auntie Wu and Sigurd, as she said. You may retake your entire turn!
Right, she hadn't posted the whole turn. I should've waited for that. Ty.
If you Seek (◆) on your turn, and succeed, I will put the wisp's position in a spoiler for you.
If you Seek (◆) as well as declare intent to Point Out (◆), and succeed, I will change the Map with the wisp's discovered position.
Also going to drop this here: Ready
If you decide to use a Ready action that requires rolling, please roll in a spoiler (including any flat checks).
=)

Oh man, this monster. Keeping my player knowledge separated from my character's knowledge has been a treat. There are a couple of spells I'd kill for right now.
Can someone Point Out its location? I'll try to Grapple it so it stops running away. Its Fort Save is the weakest.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
GM note: some are missed by wrong scan area, some by correct scan area but the roll isn’t high enough.
Are we considering running away from the encounter? If so go first, Sigurd will bring up the rear.
I'm unsure of how long this creature will harass us.
If it's immune to magic, Lan doesn't have much to contribute ... voting run.
Obviously you are welcome to run - please note your position from an edge square (ex. "Lan is 45 feet due west")
That said, given my poor rolls, if you stay and fight, I have added some RK questions and "revealed" the DC - go ahead and roll RK checks openly at this time. If you CF, you will simply be unable to retry for the remainder of the fight.
Kazuki,
I believe you have the wealth of about a 7th level character, as the cost of three striking weapons and +1 armor pushes your gear allotment to around 500gp, when you should have about half of that according to the linked table.
Please advise.
I took Lump Sum at 2nd to 5th level. I thought I had enough for everything. I can switch the kusarigama & wakizashi to just a +1 weapon.
Also, i may have only paid the difference (65 gp) when purchasing the striking rune, like in 1st ed where you just pay the difference to go from a +1 to a +2 weapon, thinking that was the case. And I made no other purchases like consumables or anything, except a discounted ladder feather token.
And, of course, i no longer have the scrap of paper I did my gp & purchases when I hit 5th level.
Although, according to lump sum...
270+140+75+30 = 515 gp.
I'll redo my gear tonight or tomorrow after work.
Lump Sum is not summative of every row preceding it
So not = 270+140+75+30
But just = 270
=)

Wait, but at 2nd level I got 30 gp, then at 3rd level I got 75, 4th level 140. That's taking the lump sum at each level, right?
Doesn't it all add up to 515? I didn't purchase anything at second and third level. So I just hung on to the cash and finally spent it at fifth level.
I guess I don't understand taking lump sum at each level. Can you Please explain?
The sum total of your wealth should be 270 gold.
At the next level (6th), sum total of your wealth should be 450 gold.
Does that make sense?

Does that make sense?
Oh. Okay. Yes it makes sense. Previously when you told us to take lump sum, I was taking the suggested amount each level.
I'll have to get rid of some of my magic weapons.
All good. Simple mistake, albeit one that doubled / trebled your relative wealth.
You might be down to the choice of keeping two full Striking weapons, or keep one and (maybe, it's expensive) keep your +1 armor.
And depending on your choice above, the rest of your equipment / consumables / etc.
Anything you received after becoming 5th level (the "gifts" from the Shrines, etc) will not count against this total, naturally.
I re-did my purchases:
I have a +1 ghost touch striking longbow (175)
+1 Wakizashi (35)
Mundane kusarigama and regular leather armor.
I'll need to know the amount of gp I'll be getting next level rather than being told "Take lump sum".
I forgot I took the fleet feat at 5th level.
My character profile is all updated.
Edit: Is it possible to switch my Wakizashi for a shortsword?
The damage on a wakizashi is the same as a dagger and really sucks.

When we promote to 6th level, you can take the lump sum from that row (6th), subtract it from the lump sum in the previous row (5th), and dispense to yourself that amount.
When we promote to 7th level, you can take the lump sum from that row (7th), subtract it from the lump sum in the previous row (6th), and dispense to yourself that amount.
And so on.

Sure.

That's easy, taking the difference of the Lump Sums. Thanks!
Also, thank you for letting me switch to a shortsword. And I'm still able to afforrd a +1 kusarigama. That is all until 6th level.
This creature will not be easy to outrun!
You are welcome to continue to half-run or even full run - if you go off the map, please mark it as Lan did.
Yes, Hidden. You might have seen my first draft which a quickly edited to clarify Hidden.

No no wait, you are right, it’s invisibility is off!
Wisp is Observed!
I will ignore flat checks in this case - and anyone who ran, if this changes your move, go ahead and make those changes!

Hey gang,
I am having significant problems with google docs - I can no longer copy and paste images nor type in text boxes!This thoroughly hampers my GM post skills - and time.
Any advice?
This happens to me often since I only use a phone for everything. Go into yor Apps, then Google Slides and "clear cache". If that doesn't work, clear cache in the Google Drive app.
Also, check your storage in Google slides. I had to delete a bunch of slides from old games.
You may also want to try logging out and logging back in - not being able to paste images is something that happens when I'm logged out, maybe it's a related issue.
