ZM, I still didn't see the rest of the spells in your spellbook. Can you list them here? I don't see how to read them with Pathbuilder easily but maybe that's just me.

I think it's because they hide the "spellbook spells" in the "prepared spells" when you click on it. Here's what I've selected:

Got it, thanks!

Hey, sorry for not following up sooner!

I've got to echo what everyone else is saying, I'm enjoying this despite the hostile dice roller.

To make it clear, I'm not upset the way Za Minyahil is. I do feel I kind of didn't have give them much personality in character creation beyond "they're a ghoran" (that's always a bit of a risk when you're playing one of the more "unusual" ancestries), so it's kind of started to take shape through play and while I like the idea that they're a very uptight and self-critical person who needs to let their vines down a bit, I worry I may go too far and wind up coming across too harsh and alienate the other students, especially the NPC ones. So please let me know if I need to ease up, and I promise, I'M not mad at people when my character is.

I also understand that, and if you ever get ICly mad at Iovia and lay into her, be assured I won't be upset as her player.

Doc, since you said a few weeks have passed, have we gotten the next month's stipend?

If yes, in the gap time, could the melee people have gotten a potency rune at either the Powderkeg or in the city? While it doesn't impact me, at level 2 the game starts to assume it in monster stats, and I want to try and make sure our two melee characters are, or even soon will be, at expected levels.

The monthly stipend will be available after this vignette concludes. It is 4gp/month, in case you don't recall. You can get a potency rune now, if you have the funds for it. I expect you can get basic potency runes at the Powderpile. You might have to combine funds, or sell existing merch to get there.

Per the Loot Tracker, Iovia bought 3 glass jars. It is up to her if they are in her regular kit or not. There are glass jars and other containers with lids (though not very tight fitting) in the kitchen. Make a Perception check to look for something you can use.

I don't think I would carry them with me normally, just like I would not carry the chicken cages. But, it would have been easy enough to stop off and grab them after getting the assignment.

Let's assume you have them then.

Sorry for the delay! Memorial Day Weekend plus an Indian wedding at the hotel made me very busy!

Heads up: I'll be traveling from this afternoon until Sunday, so it's unlikely I'll post before Monday.

Well, let's hope Ikto is up enough to heal himself. I was really hoping that ignition would take the swarm out entirely.

Ignition is not an area of effect spell but a one target spell, so it does not get the bonus to damage against swarms like other spells (or attacks) might. I did give that AoE bonus to the oil conflagration, but it comes with complications, like catching the allies in it.

I have your back, Ikto.

I will post for M'Baba if the rest of the crew has already gone just to keep things moving.

Ikto, for future reference, Raise Shield does nothing against swarms. They don't roll to hit. If they move into your square, or you are in their squares, they auto hit, and you roll a Reflex save.

Kitchen Swarm - Post Combat Summary

Iovia - 21/28hp, poisoned stage 2, off guard, clumsy 1, cast Mystic Armor, Sacred Beasts, and 1 Heal

Za Minyahil - 11/30hp, poisoned stage 1, off guard

Ikto - 17/24hp, poisoned stage 2, off guard, clumsy 1

M'Baba - 21/26hp, poisoned stage 2, off guard, clumsy 1

Defeated Centipede Swarm. Earned 60xp. New Total is 60/1000 or just 6% towards level 3.

Pardon, today is busy. Guests here for hours so may not post

Well, THAT was a roll.

Going to be leaving tomorrow on a family trip to Milwaukee for a few days. I'll return on Friday, so if a post is needed from me in the meantime, please feel free to bot me. See you then! :D

Won't be posting today much if at all, new internet provider being installed at house and other things going on.

what a drag new ISP can be...

The group will have to provide a consensus of what they want to do next before the action can advance. Usually I follow the rule of at least 2 PCs min agreeing to move PBP along.

Please note, I will be OOO starting tomorrow AM through Monday evening. Will return to normal posting then, but may be hit and miss over the weekend, at best.

I'm back!

sorry to be slow to update. i will get your game done tomorrow. Been a bit extra challenged at work and will be for a while.

C'est la vie.

I got no room to fuss at anyone about lateness lately :o

Tomorrow afternoon I will be on the road to visit family for 3 nights and some change. I won't be posting much

Have a good trip, Ikto!

Have been working late hours this week, so apologize for the lack of posting. I am OOO this weekend as well tomorrow AM through Monday afternoon. I will be able to post some most likely, but it maybe more limited than I'd like.

No worries, take your time.

Monday is my last day to officially carry two jobs, so I will likely be back to more normal and regular posting next week. Thanks for your patience!

Sorry, I seem to have come down with something, nothing deadly but draining. HOpe I'll be up and at them soon.

Hope you feel better soon!

Get rest and lot's of fluids!

I agree with the others.

Just in case we run into more Pugwampi, here are some ideas for how we can have fewer issues with them:

1. Saving Throw Spells are not affected by the unluck aura regardless of how close you are to them.

2. The aura has a 30-foot range. Missile attacks and spells with attack rolls that are 35 or more feet from a pugwampi are not affected by the aura.

3. If you make the save as a melee character, be aggressive and go get them. When they drop, the aura goes away.

I'm sure there are things I'm not thinking of as well, so if other people have ideas, toss them out too.

Guys I'm getting the feeling we could prepare better. There sure is a map of this place to be found in the school. Also, we should do a sweep around it first. Opinions?

Smart, if only to show the people chastising us for not doing our homework and going in blind we're learning. <_<

Sorry, I had to go out of town yesterday unexpectedly for work. Did not have the time or equipment to post properly. Back at it now.

Internet trouble. Have a temp hotspot to post this but won't be able to use it for long.

I am away for the long weekend, and then flying out for work things T-TH so my posting this week will be spotty.

I'm back from the State Fair! I had no less than THREE different kinds of cheese curds!

Recall that items on the Loot Tracker that are not assigned cannot be used in combat rounds. They must be assigned to an individual to carry first. They can be used in Exploration mode or most other situations that don't require action tracking.

Apologies for delays, I had somehow not seen updates in this campaign.

No worries.

All of us keep casting cantrips with different elements. There's water, fire and now electricity. I wonder if there's a rule to synergize something? Like I get everything wet and Iovia electrifies it all using physics? What school branch would teach this?

Sounds like Cascade Bearers to me.

AFAIK, there are no DoS 2 or BG3-like effects in PF2. I did what I did in round 2 because I wanted to get both of them, as well as to get into line of sight of Za Minyahil.

Just FYI, I am traveling starting tomorrow afternoon through Monday evening. I will be able to post some, but perhaps not the usual frequency. Will be back to normal starting Monday evening, most likely.
