That's another madness for me. Is anyone able to cast lesser resto yet?
I like night terrors for the 2nd one.

In my sleep deprived night last night my brain fixated on this post, for some reason.

Sorry, I was planning on waking you up, Alvar, but the description of the exterior kind of overrode my reaction.
And apparently I took a lot of sanity damage, so Nyarai's response would be weird. Hope the rocks woke you up?

Meanwhile Iosif actively being pushed to a nihilistic faith by Pharasma. Even once he converts eventually to worship of Casandalee, he's still probably going to be a nihilist. Triune in Starfinder is the one who made the planes-eating Drift.
Enjoy the heal, Alvar.
@Alvar, yes, you'd be woken by the debris.
@Ethyl, night terrors sounds about right. Are you referring to this lesser madness?

Oh yeah. Threshold is 5, so I get something as well. Should I roll or do we want to go for something situation-specific?
Just in case.

Appreciate it. Mind, they will hopefully not be in the line of fire henceforth, but it's better to be careful.

Iosif's healing is relatively minor for now anyways, so it's best used on minor stuff like rubble. He's going to be a more competent healer as time goes on and he gains Warpriest levels though.

I'm pretty sure you will, Warpriest and Alchemist are both half-casters, and Iosif is delayed to boot. Unless you have shit like my Vivisectionist planned (She gets like 7 CLWs before she gets Invisibility. And our wizard is a Thassilonian specialist T_T). Took her to level 6 to start taking her actual class LMAO.
Once he actually channels positive he can actually do something other than heal, as well :p

Alvar has been fairly lucky, but also their threshold is 5, so it's very rare to get hit with that much sanity damage thus far.
Enoch, your delusion that something is watching you increases, having now borne witness to just some of the horrors hiding just within the fog. Your penalty to perception checks involving sight increases to -4 as you refuse to meet anyone's gaze without extreme outside compulsion.

Oh, also, at least until the end of the week, my responses are probably going to slow down a decent bit. Something pretty bad IRL came up.

So, uh, do we have any plans other than kill this guy dead? I feel like that's the most straightforward response, but also the "think with your sword" response, which both Alvar and I disapprove of. I'm sure we've probably got enough information somewhere that might help us reduce the threat he poses without killing him, but I have no recollection of any.
That said, if we incapacitate him without killing him, I do have that hoodwink cowl hanging around, so we could use that.

RIP us. Can't juice damage with sneak due to concealment. I can try alchemist's fire next but it would splash Enoch.

Um... I have Glitterdust, though I am not sure if that would help, as per the text. It does not specifically mention concealment, but it does state that it "visibly outlines" the affected creatures.
GM, would that eliminate the miss chance rolls?
As for the Touch of Fatigue, it doesn't have a trigger. I just need a full round action to deliver touch spell at range, so I wanted it pre-cast.

If I step back to throw alchemist's fire am I able to target the Tatterman or would I only be able to target a square?
@Nyarai, I'd allow that to cancel out the miss chance.
