PFS1e 1-46 - EotT#1 - Requiem for the Rouge Raven (KS) (Inactive)

BTW, if you could remove this character from the roster
(he was only here for a 1-off joke, obviously)?

It was a dazing fireball not the daze spell.

Also there was a Wandering Star Motes that dazes, but that also doesn't have the 4HD limit.

In that case, no second fireball.

Everyone is up. Lucija is fairly sure that was a teleport.

As in, teleport?

OK, so as I've said before, I have a major new problem of not being able to use the toolbar on GoogleDocs anymore because it says my browser needs an "upgrade" - trouble is, I don't know what it is that needs to be upgraded, nor if I can, or even would consider it worth the cost (and I don't just mean monetarily; if Google and/or Microsoft wants me to bend over for even more normalized spyware or just to keep using it, then to hell with that and them!).

I can copy and paste images, but I can't really do anything else; no writing (so I can't indicate that Lucija and Naghamadi should presently be about 30' in the air, for example), no marks, I can't even magnify to get a better view!

Normally it just means update the browser, you using chrome?

IS the naga large enough to see over the walls or do I have to move up to see it?

Normally it just means update the browser, you using chrome?

Yes I am, actually.

Mind you, I've since discovered that, on another computer I have that runs Windows 10 and on which I use Brave, it works fine...so failing all else, I can use that to access the interface when I need to (even though that's not my preferred computer).

Aaaand...JFC, clearly I was too worried I'd fallen behind! Remind me, DM: If a character delays until later in the round, does its initiative stay lower?

If the naga tries to look over the walls, they bump into an invisible ceiling

As for the initiative - I'm not sure. I usually put it back to the original position but correct me if I'm wrong.

Depending on the specifics of the encounter, I may want Naghamadi and I to act on the same initiative; some DMs don't even bother rolling separately for him and his like, but given the large disparity between his initiative bonus and mine, there could be advantages sometimes.

If you want one of you to delay til the other, I see no problem with that.

Before I take the magic missile damage, did they cast defensively? I do have noodle arms (longarm) and can AOO on her if she does not.

She does have combat casting

Morok don't forget your full bab hasted attack!

Remind me - if a natty 1 can still hit - does it?

Surely you jest? That's one of the biggest "NOs" in the whole game, and has been since at least the beginning of 3rd Edition. We're talkin' Deep Magic From The Dawn of Time, here!

There MIGHT be rare exceptions in the case of saving throws, but attack rolls? I'm not sure if there was ever even one, which is saying something!

In other news, I want to make sure everyone knows something (I myself had kind of forgotten it until recently):

At 12th level, whenever an ally is within an eidolon’s reach, the ally receives a +2 shield bonus to its Armor Class and a +2 circumstance bonus on its saving throws. If this ally is the summoner, these bonuses increase to +4. This bonus does not apply if the eidolon is grappled, helpless, paralyzed, stunned, or unconscious.

Presently, in addition to Lucija, that'd mean snakey-kisses for the weasels, River, and maybe Mörök's Mount!

I didn't think so but I wanted to be sure. It wasn't counted anyway.

River of Stars, perhaps I'm not reading you right, but:

River rushes to Mörök's side, pushing past the fire weasels. Provoking two AoOs if they have them available I think? I've put his path on the map

You DO realize the pyroweasels are MINE, right? Why would they AoO YOU?

I mean, I may be Chaotic, but not like THAT...

Can anyone see invisible creatures?

Not as such, no.

The two remaining cultists attack the dinosaur.

"TWO remaining"? I see three; I'll need this clarified before I can act.

No see invis for Shau currently.

One of them is unable to act but still alive.

You DO realize the pyroweasels are MINE, right? Why would they AoO YOU?

Yes I realised that. The AoOs to which I was referring were those belonging to the cultists. It wasn't clear who had been blended yet. The language was ambiguous though, my apologies.

Can you please verify that my dimensions (so to speak) on that pit are correct? I never quite had a handle on those.

If someone knows where to find some area-template stencils and put them on one of the slides, so much the better.

Also, are haste and prayer still active?

In addition to needing answers to the above, I must also point out that both Shau and Medusa presently still have a pit-problem:

...The edges of the pit are sloped, and any creature ending its turn on a square adjacent to the pit must make a Reflex saving throw with a +2 bonus to avoid falling into it. Creatures subjected to an effect intended to push them into the pit (such as bull rush) do not get a saving throw to avoid falling in if they are affected by the pushing effect.

Also, it appears that the action is presently taking place in a walled-off area; I cannot entirely tell how much of an obstacle those walls are supposed to be, and it matters for my weasels, not to mention line of sight - and why is that one ape-cultist still on the board? I thought we'd taken care of him.

Think the medusa dimension doored out.

Yes, but now she's in danger of falling back in.

The one ape cultist is unconscious, not dead. And yes, some reflex saves are required. It is a cramped space and those walls should be as high as the hedge maze itself.

I'm not sure whether Mörök's and dino's tokens are where they should be. Which one is the medusa?

The medusa should be the one with her picture on it. There is now an arrow pointing at her

Are we missing some from init? Like Geppa, Cale, archers?

Not yet. They get inserted in next round as they get ready. The guy who yelled out the challenge is currently guarding the bridge. The archers etc are on the other side of the chasm.

Waiiit: How high upward do black tentacles reach? It appears unclear.

Naghamadi is 20' in the air; I am on top of it and therefore 25' up, so even if they reach Naghamadi, they would not necessarily reach me!

If someone can get fly on me I can work on the phoenix, if not I will deal with the land based stuff.

I could use a fly potion but that is one more round until I can engage, 2 actually with bane use.
Will delay for input.

I've thrown a template on the map for the black tentacles where I think it was intended based on the description, is that about right? I'm not sure why they wouldn't have gotten River though so perhaps his ommission was an oversight?

Shau River could cast Fly on you, (or communal air walk), but he'd get grappled as soon as he entered the tentacles. He could Fly to a position you'd like to exit the tentacles, then ready an action to cast it on you as you exited, and then you could continue your movement vertically, though that would depend on his actually not being in it so I'll await a clarification on that.

Anyone have a dispel for the tentacles or the life before I go digging for a way out? ;p

I don't have one; I cast my only prepared Dispel already today :(

Just cast a greater dispel, assuming I had an action left after doing a knowledge check on the Phoenix.

ok readied fly sounds good might want to do it defensively that bird is huge! That dispel I think will get rid of the tentacles.

Thanks Tess!

Just checking that cleared it and will crack on with Percys actions :)

Double-checking: The attacks of Outsiders with alignment descriptors don't inherently carry those descriptors for the sake of overcoming DR, right? I'm looking at my demon and devil options and it does not specifically say that their attacks are Evil-aligned, but perhaps that is because it goes without saying in their case?

Another topic: It would be REALLY helpful to have a running effect-tracker somewhere, maybe a slide committed to the purpose? Last time I did this, we set up some gorgeous magic/magical-effect tracking slides (sadly, they've since been deleted).

You need to dig into the Types and Sub-Types.

Outsider doesnt confer aligned damage, but subtype 'Devil' for instance notes A devil’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as lawful and evil for the purpose of resolving damage reduction.

Devil subtype

...and likewise for Demons! Thank you!

Indeed! And so forth and so on for Angels etc.

The idea of a running effect tracker is a good one. I'll have to figure out how to do that properly.

See if GM Rinaldo's still around, and if there's a snowball's chance in hell he could 'reactivate' the slides in question, perhaps?

Before my action, can I get a list of current enemy combatants? I think the archers are all temporarily blinded, the phoenix might be dead through Shau’s crits. Who else is up and threatening?

Just archers left?

They surrended.

BTW, I started casting summon monster V just before they surrendered, so there should be another monster here now - UNLESS, DM, you'd be willing to let me take back that casting?

You can abort the summoning if you want. They surrendered as soon as the phoenix fell into the pit.

Anyone else want the +2 Ring? I could use it.
Also/alternatively, what precisely is a "phoenix ring"?
