I think it can be arranged, though I may forget. In combat or rounds situations, this will not apply unless you use an action for it. Adding your key Knowledge modifiers to your stat line will help me if possible.
Apologies, a bit of a real life shuffle here, nothing dire.
I'm confused, I must have missed where they dismissed asking Anchor Root, because Za Minyahil's response was meant to chide them for seemingly going straight to asking her help as the easiest solution.

Iovia made the suggestion.
Ikto raised the point she might not be comfortable with it.
M'baba proposed traps, a solution that doesn't involve her.
Nyandra doesn't comment on Anchor Root, and proposes diplomacy in kholo.
Ntuni agrees with M'baba and also raises the question if this isn't cheating the test.
So, before Za Minyahil's chide, only Iovia was up for asking Anchor Root, and that is already assuming a lot since she did not post after the others have disagreed (or raised problems) with the plan.
From what I understood, Za Minyahil was chiding them for something they had no intention to do. Ikto mentioned asking her from the beginning, while M'baba mentioned not stressing her. Ntuni's response was based on Za Minyahil's assumption that they'd not ask.
That was my reasoning. Sorry if I misunderstood anything.
I guess I was slow then. Sorry!
I made the suggestion, mostly because I did not know that others spoke Kholo. I also could have been clearer in my post, as I intended for us to ask her should we have gone that route.
I'm sorry my post about building cages wasn't clear--I was expecting to RP out the Powderpile scene and go from there as I wasn't sure what kind of supplies they have for that kind of thing. Was my detailing about the Aid sufficient?
Sorry, if we were at tabletop, we may have played out the shopping trip to Powderpile, but for PBP its just a week of haggling and hunting, so just cut to the chase.
Yes, your explanation was fine as the assist.
Sorry, some family drama persists so I'm not at the top of my game right now.

Understandable. Hope it resolves peacefully for you. We will be here as needed.
That worked better than expected...A Natural 20 on the Deception check to Lie helps significantly. But one had a Nat 20 of their own on the opposed check. Things hang in the balance...
I can't believe that worked as well as it did, but let's keep trying :)
I can see one of us has a happy trigger finger!
More in line with us dealing with this thing already. PBP isn't a fast format and we are dealing with this mission for over a week. For good or bad, let's deal with it and move on.
Also, Ntuni is keeping them distracted.
Ikto's spells right now are in the lethal or healing category so he may not be too handy in the take them alive mode. I think I see a lot of 'aid another' rolls in his immediate future

There are always options like Trip and Grapple.
Any Strike can be made Nonlethal with a -2 penalty to hit if the weapon does not have the Nonlethal trait.
Dr. Evil might also let the Stabilize cantrip work on this case on the monsters.
I have Daze for a Nonlethal spell option for me and 3 action Font heals might also keep us up and them alive.
Sorry to miss you yesterday. I was at an election party and that took a bit out of me by the time the night was over.
Apologies, RL situation with a friend's health, will try to post tomorrow
hey folks, not feeling well. May not be able to post for a bit. Please feel free to bot Nyandra if necessary; right now her goal is to keep Courageous Anthem going and will try to use Daze when she can.

No worries. Health first. Get well soon
Yes, get well soon Nyandra.
As far as I know, Za Minyahil is NOT affected by the gremlin unluck. I rolled that save in secret when they first entered the room. You don't have to take the unluck rolls, but even without, your grapples are ineffective this round.
Help us, Za Minyahil, you're our only hope!
Wait, what?! I could have sworn I failed the save... 0_o
I made it in secret checks for you and you succeeded before you rolled and failed. I mentioned it in OOC notes then.
Took an unexpected overnight trip, so will be out of pocket for posting until tomorrow evening.
Sorry GM, forgot to add the +1 to hit/damage from Nyandra's anthem!
This one extra HP is enough to put Orange out of the fight.
AH, then I suppose I should delete my prior post?

Probably too late to delete now, but feel free to retcon to something else if you wish.
Okay, sorry about delay, last eve got busy.
Did my grapple succeed or not? If not I still have two more actions left to try again...

It's not your turn yet, so I haven't adjudicated it. But a 14 will not successfully grapple a gremlin under normal circumstances (barely). I also ran Ntuni who still had an action to take after the Retributive Strike earlier. Seemed to work out.
Really sorry, but I've missed I was up!
I know this is no excuse and that I should have read it better, but would you consider bolding which of us are up, or putting on a different line?
I did not do a very good job of calling it out with some delays and retcons already happening, but I didn't want to slow us down any more either. I will try to do a better job of pointing out where we are in the initiative count and reminding you in the OOC text.
Just double-checking, next round hasn't started just yet, right?
It has now, and you are up!
Continue how you wish, but recall that your task was to remove the pugwampis from the storage barn. That doesn't mean you have to capture them all technically.
I was trying to get a few to use the escape hatch, perhaps just to speed up this frustrating encounter, but if you want to hold them in place, feel free. You have been making some headway in the last few rounds.
While I think there are things we could have done better, overall I think we are doing pretty good.
This is what I get for repeatedly attempting a skill I'm not Trained in. <_<
If I could make a suggestion, you could use your shortsword nonlethally at a -2 penalty. D20+5 (thanks to Nydandra) is better than d20+1, and damage doesn't change when you use a weapon that way. If you make two attempts, d20 is miles better than d20-5.
I think Ikto's next action will depend if Yellow is already knocked out or not after Ntuni's blow

Yes, it is knocked out from Ntuni's strike. I will update the Gameplay thread after you post.
Leaving for a trip this weekend and not sure I'll be able to post before Monday. If needed, feel free to bot me. I'll keep attacking as I've been doing.
