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.

Za Minyahil wrote: 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.

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!

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

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.

Iovia wrote: M'baba, you could have done that sequence better. You always want to Demoralize as Action 1, so that you get the benefit. Also, with me providing Off-Guard via flanking already, Feint does nothing - unless you crit fail, in which case you debuff yourself. In this situation, Demoralize, Strike, Strike would have been a better sequence. Without a flanking partner, Demoralize, Feint, and Strike would have been a decent ordering of actions. Thanks!! I'll remember that!
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.

Did my grapple succeed or not? If not I still have two more actions left to try again...
