Rise of the Runelords

Yeah, Juriya's going to mainly stay in the middle. Unless it's something mindless, though, she doesn't need to flank to get Sneak Attack off, but it definitely doesn't hurt.

And yeah, being busy happens.

Yep, Donimah's a clear mid-to-back-line kind of character, especially once she gets her eldritch heritage feat and can start extending her arms Mr. Fantastic-style to deliver touch attacks from a safe distance! :P

WTF!

So, anyway, I imagine Persephone will go behind with Donimah. Since Zel is busy with his new job, I'll assume he'll go 4th. So, let's make

Ano
Arrian
Juriya
Zeldrith
Donimah
Persephone

If you guys are ok with that (or agree with a different one), feel free to roll surprise round.

Looks good to me!

Typically a surprise round is either a move or a standard, would our surprise round be moving into the room with the goblin and then inits?
I don't think some of the group could manage to sneak into the room without the goblin noticing.

Persephone is fine with that Order.

I updated the map and added the little buggar. Should help see what it looks like. I'm putting you guys 20ft in, then I roll for init.

I hope you can see the wooden plates on the floor, it has a slightly light coloring.

Any answer to that OOC question I asked in the main thread (stowing my whaling spear, drawing my crossbow and loading it takes up my whole round)?

I’m still here, just haven’t felt like I have a good opportunity to post.

It's time to find out if we hit the goblin and what it does to us.

Sorry Donimah, the answer's yes, that takes up your entire turn.

I figured, thanks for confirming! :)

IT'S TIME!!!

IT'S TIME!!!

Boogies!

@Juriya: I feel your pain re: Dex-to-damage. My Urogue is finally a decent hitter after hitting L3 and I had to pull my magus from a PFS1 scenario because the party needed an actual combatant that could damage things.

Zeldrith might be able to help - he has enough movement to move into the reserved space for the flanking maneuvers. His only other attack is a +2/1d3 Ray of Frost, so it might be better if he and Juriya swapped out.

As much damage as Ano has taken if Arrian didn't eliminate the goblin I'd recommend the withdraw action since she's down to 2 HP.

Then, next round, Arrian can 5' step to where Ano was to give Juriya flank, Juriya can attack with flank, then 5' step where Arrian was to open the way for Zeldrith.

So the conga line continues...

Juriya...we're CROSSBOWDDIES! XD

Not to mention the 3 rapier users.

Apologies for the silence, a few rough patches got me on the more quiet side of life. Everything's fine, just a few curveballs I wasn't expecting. I really need to spec more into her bloodrager once I get the feats needed for Ano to fully utilize her rapier.

'Tis cool. I can relate.

At least you can practice metaphorical dodge ball?

It's all good, glad to have you here.

I'll wait to see Donimah's reaction to Arrian's "it's a trap" moment.

Cue the denial stage

I thought it was just a river in Egypt...

I'm liking it.

BTW, Arrian knows her name is Nualia. She used to be around a lot until 5 years ago.

Yes he does. :) I have notes on the AP and one of the sections is when the group found Tsuto's diary. And although the group didn't open and check Nualia's 'grave' in the mausoleum Arrian suspects its either empty or someone else's remains are in there.

OoC, I've also been keeping track - IC, Zeldrith is an outsider in town, and he isn't notably quick on the uptake in any case, so while I've been keeping fairly detailed notes for my own gratification, I've been careful not to act on them.

Honestly, though, I don't think Ano will be persuaded that it's actually 'evil Nualia' we're fighting and not 'evil demon possessing her corpse' unless she has a proper villain monologue about how she deceived her friends for so many years.

Or a "We're not so different, you and I!" speech about how they were both abused by their parents followed by an offer of "You were my only friend, the only one who understands, join me and together we can avenge the wrongs done to us and punish the town that did nothing to help us!" <_<

Between information Zel has provided on the nature of tieflings and his own future Knowledge (Planes) check, Arrian will use that information to corroborate Tsuto's diary about Nualia.

That’s assuming Nualia saw Ano as a friend, of course

Also, I’m mixed on how well you all read Ano’s character. Either my writing’s not that good, or it’s so good you all flow with it.

I mean, Donimah's mostly not talking back to Ano about Thassilon because of the recent altercations with her mom making Donimah not wanna be a jerk to her after so fresh of a wound. Especially since the trappings of this location is pretty indefensible, and pretty much the whole party would be horrified at Donimah if she tried to make excuses for it.

Apologies but I will be off line due to family emergency for unknown duration.

Thank you.

Is this a surprise round?

Thank you.

Best of luck and I hope everything is okay.

Hope everything goes smoothly Persephone.

Also, you can consider this a surprise round, yes.

Question: were we playing with hero points?

We were and still are. Everyone is at 3 atm.

I am posting this in all my Games.

My situation

We had an family emergency that caused us to need to travel down to Florida to visit my mom. She has been since diagnosed with Major Congestive heart failure. She can't breathe on her own.

We are back in Michigan. My Mom is currently resting at ease at a Hospice, comfortable but still expectant to pass. Our hope is she will become able to have Home hospice so she can do it at home.

I appreciate you. I Thank you.

I feel that I really need to lessen my commitment to these games. I will be stepping away from many including RotRL.

I apologize.

Dorian

You have my sincerest condolences. :(

I hope things go smoothly for her and for you and the rest of your family. Having lost relatives and family friends fairly recently, I know sometimes that's the best you can hope for.

We'll be here should you decide to return later. And if you decide to step away for good, then know it was a delight to play with you.

I’m so sorry that you’re going through a lot Dorian. You and your family also have my condolences

Dorian,

In case you see this my deepest condolences to you and your family. Hopefully your mother will be able to rest at home.

As everyone else said, Dorian, I send my deepest condolences to you and your family and hope that your mother will be able to rest at home.

I am very appreciative of friends and family support.

Thanks everyone for the game(s) and probably adventure with you in the future!

(Stupid Recruitment Threads really are addictive!)

@GM ILR will you please deactivate Persephone.

Sure thing. Once I figure out how to. Some help would be great!

Sure thing. Once I figure out how to. Some help would be great!

Here's what you do:

Go to the 'Campaign Info' tab.
There should be am 'Edit This Campaign' button on the right hand side; click on it.
Scroll down and you'll see a list of names of players and PCs. Uncheck the 'Active' box next to Persephone.

Yeah, that did it. Thanks!

Even if eventually Juriya becomes more competent and replace almost every WIS based skill with INT... her Will saves and WIS rolls will always be absolute trash like the roll you just saw: she probably barely even notices the fountain with that roll.

I also think bombs roll over the next day? It says the vials remain usable for years, so it will help the paltry 4 bombs a day.

What was the roll for btw?

That WIS check a few posts up, about why the fountain was made.

Holy crap, poor Ano's going through the WRINGER! D:
