Details intentionally vague at this distance. The large majority of the undead are humanoid. The gates hold and the walls are manned, but not much else can be discerned. Vladimir or some form of magic might be able to pull close and reveal more information without attracting attention.
We're out of combat rounds. No need to post spoilers and you may post freely.
Hmmm.. I don't see us saying anywhere that mage armor was cast upon Irravin.
Hey Guys! Arius, you should add Temp Hp to your status spoiler. Irravin, I think your AC in your spoiler is off. The info on your character sheet looks right to me. You should have 18AC, then 22 with Mage armor. Sorry if it seems like I'm always criticizing. Just trying to get things smooth. Its always tough when we get back into combat for the first time in awhile.
Oh, point blank shot too! 1 attack and damage in 30ft.
You might be mixing damage and attack bonuses? It should be much higher than +9. For attack:BAB +6, Dex +6, Bow +2, +1 wpn focus. Your primary attack has +15, which I see written on your sheet. Your extra attack from having +6 bab is at a -5, and using rapidshot gives -2 to all attacks. Lastly, Many Shot makes your first attack count for 2 arrows. I calculate: +13(x2)/+13 (rapid)/+13 (accelerate)/+8 (high bab). Each will do 1d8+7 (+3 str, +2 bow, +2 wpn spec). I see this written on your sheet as well, although for rapier. I think you need to swap the damage done by rapier/bow. They have 19AC. But shh... that's a secret.
Reminder regarding looking behind spoilers: We've relaxed the rules from previous. Feel free to look behind spoilers for other characters or locations so we can all enjoy whats going on. If the spoiler requires a skill check or similar dice requirement you should NOT look behind it. Once the event has passed you can look behind it at another point in time. If the spoiler has something to the effect of (no looking) attached to it, then do not look unless you otherwise meet the requirements. This will be used in situations like the beloved doppelganger encounter.
Yo guys. Consider the following as players rather than characters. The Divine Visage could send some Facets to support you in your endeavors in Mercia. These would be several characters that you guys would take some responsibility in creating, leveling, and managing. You would not control their actions directly, but their time and efforts in Mercia would be up to you. Think about whether you have the attention and effort to spare to make this successful. That should be the driving force behind the decision.
Yo dudes! I'd like to move to a particular event as Vladimir wraps up his discussion with Ivor. When he's finished it shall be approaching sunset, and he should seek out Irravin, sadly interrupt his meditation, and look to the likeness of Raziel that they received.
Sorry for the slow response. I'll post tomorrow!
Hey guys, I need a few days off so I'll return to posting Monday or Tuesday. Irravin and Vladimir will be directed to the sky tower for healing with followers of Sarenrae if they would like to continue.
No need for Arius or Vladimir to post, I will continue. However, if they were moved to take the initiative, that would also work.
If Irravin manages not to fall, Hakail will succumb to the next blow. To save us posts swapping hits around, don't throw more than 1 successful hit at Hakail.
No worries man. TBH, I think you are posting the most promptly out of all of us.
Please include 2 rolls not to fall for Irravin due to damage.
I intended to post a link to a google doc with our house rules, however the document is currently stored on my computer in Austin! I'll postpone posting it until next week. There are a few other comments I wanted to make: Currently Dervish, myself, and Nyrus often text about our post intentions and rule clarifications. Since the jig is up that GozrehTime has ensouled Arius, I think we should switch to using google hangouts for this conversation so he can join us. I believe I'm connected with everyone but Nyrus (to whom I just sent an invite) and I'll create a central chat channel when that is complete. In the spirit of moving things along, I'd like to start using non-explicit dialogue at certain times. For example, rather than using quotations and bold text to address several NPCs who may not be that important we can instead: Candor enters the inn, greeting all who engage him fondly. Although he readily shares his exploits with any who ask, he never mentions the forbidden knowledge he acquired in the cursed book. I feel like that may hasten certain multi-post encounters that don't necessary add a lot to the story. As a rule of thumb: If NPCs use explicit or non-explicit dialogue try to respond in kind. If you are initiating the conversation, choose whichever you like. At any given moment, if you wish to speak explicitly then by all means do so. Since its come up, please add your CMD to your status spoilers. I'll try to post a spoilered CMD of enemies for you to look at AFTER you decide to use a maneuver. Thus you may resolve the rest of your turn/rolls with the knowledge of your maneuvers success or failure (such as gaining a +4 attack bonus against a tripped opponent, or deciding to dedicate more attacks to tripping). Let me know your thoughts!
Exciting!! I'll be posting Saturday.
Vladimir may make a called shot on the pincers with a -2. Each successful attack will lower the CMB/CMD of the remorhaz for grapples by 4. Because of Vladimir's accelerated state, he may make 1 attack and then attempt to free himself as his full turn. Alternatively he can full attack (with 1 extra attack from accelerate) and hopefully weaken the pincers to where the remorhaz will fail its future grapple attempts against him. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions.
Those battles went in opposite directions..
Hey guys! When relevant I will post a spoiler for enemy CMD. Don't look until you make a roll to which it is relevant. Combat maneuvers greatly change the flow of battle, so I think if you can post knowing the result of your attempts we can speed things along.
Sorry for the delay guys I'll have new posts on Saturday.
Nice. Thanks for that Dervish. Additionally, I think Vladimir has one more arrow he can shoot. His full attack routine with many/rapid shot should be: +4x2/+4/-1 (counting Bab and rapidshot penalties only).
Sounds correct to me!
I'm not quite sure how to resolve Vladimir's turn. If you want to bullrush give me a CMB roll +2 for charging and I can tell you how far you push yourself and Arius. Or you can accept the prone condition and reach safety.
Rules for battle on poles over a 10 ft pit:
If you are struck, you must make an additional dc10 acrobatics check or fall. If you are compelled to move by an opponent they may choose to make you fall. If you fall you may make a dc15 athletics (climb) check to catch yourself. You are considered on the poles but prone. If you fall below half hp add +5 to all DCs. I wanted to make a concentration check to cast spells, but it seems balancing does not require such a check. Let me know if anything needs to be clarified.
Hey Dervish! I'm getting married today. The Honeymoon will follow, so posting will likely stop until August.
I think it should apply. In theory the spoiler should have read Survival (tracking) DC 13.
Hey guys! I'm driving to CA the next 2 days. I likely will not post until Sunday evening/Monday. Sorry for the delay.
Some things that would be awesome to explore, but you should not until we finish Vladimir's test: Exploring the Citadel with Verndar, pursuing the Shaem, and receiving your new mask. If you wish to engage Verndar or explore other aspects of the Enclave, that could work.
Animal messenger can seek out specific individuals in the Faedark because of the forest's nature. Elsewhere it functions as the normal spell, which requires a location, not an individual, as the destination. This is something we talked about waayyyy back when.
Sorry for the delay. I'm scheming up a few things and it will be a bit longer.
I'll post this evening. Feel free to continue with what Vladimir seeks after speaking with Raha.
That was pretty awesome! I like how much a roll the dice played in resolving it. We can jump to Vladimir's test or he can seek out the druid or whoever else he likes beforehand.
I think this concludes Irravin's test! I think Dervish and I should commence his soon. During this time I think Irravin could explore his staff, Verndar, the Enclave, the abyssal book, or perhaps the magical ring he recovered. Let's leave Shaem, the Mask, and the Citadel for when Dervish's test is complete.
I somehow missed these posts earlier! I very much appreciate how you expressed his different possible actions in character. That's just the way to do it!
You guys don't need to post your prepared spells, I'd keep it in your character sheet, or your combat spoiler when needed. Just make sure you know what they are! Whew Dervish... posting speech for another character. I think that's a bit too much. I think mentioning his impatience and even gestures a little bit is fine, but I don't think it's a good idea to speak for characters that you don't control What are your guys thoughts?
I think you guys can take agency in transitioning the day and going to where you want to be (Gvene, tower, or whatever it might be). I encourage you guys to consider what spells you have prepared. Let me know if you think I should handle the day and traveling transitions in cases like these.
Dervish, I think your OOC comment in your post could be in character, like: "Vladimir will inquire and follow advice to seek Gvene. If for some reason she is unavailable, Vladimir will turn his efforts to seeking Essaera."
You guys may do whatever you want in the evening, or we can simply pass to the next day. Irravin may seek out the tower for his test, and we'll wait on Vladimir's posts until that completes. We're going to do a bit of taking turns posting for a few things.
Hey guys! I'm going to miss posting again! Curses. I promise this won't be a routine. I'll post first thing in the morning. I got caught up in a hike in the rain with a monster and a nymph!
Hey guys, I'm taking this week off work to finish my thesis. I don't think I'll be posting. However, after this week I'll be all over it!
I think italicized character thought is a welcome addition. I will never have NPCs glean anything from it. If they roll a DC 25 sense motive (the DC for a "hunch), I will consider them vaguely aware of the content. Sound good?
Howdy guys! It feels good to be posting again doesn't it? I talked with each of you about this I think: I'm going to try and spoiler less with regards to keeping character interactions separate. Private conversations and actions and such will be public. Only visions, dreams, Verndar, or other more unique experiences will be spoilered from each other. Of course we should avoid metagaming with this information in specific circumstances where it is relevant. Also I think there will be opportunities, like our current situation, where there are lots of dialogue options that are very relevant. Feel free to explore many simultaneously and don't worry about criss-crossing a bit temporally. I think we want to get as much info as we can without wasting a lot of posts. You guys can take some liberties about speaking with a specific character alone, or addressing all present, etc.
Auzuravax is a new name drop. Raziel saw much. This is an abridged version of what he shared. He saw Azithax ruling in the forest. He and a Samsaran together etched a symbol into the forest itself. The symbol opened up a doorway. The Samsaran left through this door, but creature of darkness slipped through it as well. Azithax and this creature fought to the death. The Dragon had an ancient soul, that was happy to embrace it’s rest in the afterlife. The dark creature raved and fought against its immortal destiny, cursing the land upon which it died. It’s blood seeped into the ground, and the forest drank of its essence. The new Nymph of the forest was born with that foul curse in her veins. He saw the 5 pieces of the creature. One remains where it died. One suffuses the forest. One wanders the forest by itself. One dwells in the lake of Mercia. One sits in Mercia itself.
Nyrus and I were at lucidity, and I'm now driving to Texas. Pbp hiatus for a few days!
You guys can engage any of the Countenance at this moment as a group or in private.
Egatz! My bad. I hadn't posted in too long
Sorry guys things have been busy here. I'll post tomorrow!
Oh boy have we got some drama. I hope you don't mind being a bit patient for the current situation Nyrus. I anticipate we shall have to ask the dervish to be patient for other experiences for you as well, before the Enclave is over. Give me a call if you want to talk about the liberties I took with past lives Dervish.
Yo dudes. Your posts are awesome! I'm traveling to Austin today, and may not get around to posting. In general it may be a bit more difficult for me the next two weeks. I'll aim for a minimum of 1 post every 2 days, but hopefully I'll be able to do better. |
