Am I reading this right that the only difference between a Baykok and a Wandering Baykok is the latter is rare? Same goes for the Gibbering Skull Swarm. I guess Alex just hates mastermind rogues that much.

Similar to what you did with Age of Ashes character options for PFS, I would like to be able to purchase piecemeal options from Dead Suns or other older APs with ACP.

So, I had to go into the website in Incognito mode. The first time, I didn’t log in. The next time I did, and things have been working fine for me since.

Didn't do it for me.

I'm kind of disappointed that they opened up Anadi to spellcasting, but left out Inventor actions (assuming those are still going to have the manipulate trait).


It looks like this scenario uses Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Noble Estate rather than Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Castles Multi-Pack.

Any chance this change to learning spells can apply to Uncommon ones you accessed through Esoteric Spellcaster?


Maybe the wind is working against them and they need to tack. Sail ships don't always have the luxury of moving as the crow flies.


We are currently at:
Everyone except Lucian and Chumani
Then Lucian
Lucian is almost KOed, I think the only thing in question is whether Thaxos and/or another kank bleed out


He isn't under any orders to take an AoO (but still can if he wants, Gideon also prvoked when he punched.


Anyone still here?


Rahger?


Maybe PM the other two, if they don't respond, get a couple replacements

says the fire genasi, all in a single, high speed breath. He looks around as if getting bored, then dashes off.

Background in the common tongue:

[name] was born in the city of brass to a line of Efreetis. His seventh generation grandfather, Rafiq made deals with devils in order to gain more wealth and influence. One of those deals involved using illusions to trap [name] and ship him off to Baator as a slave. Preferring willing agents, it took all of five minutes trapped in a box unable to run around for [name] to sign the contract. Once 'free', he took off running, dashed through a portal and found himself in Sigil. He joined the Transcendent Order just as soon as he heard about them, as is proper. Deep down, he knows that he's trapped by the contract, but takes each day as it comes and tries to make the best of things.

Contract:
His contract stipulations are simple. At no time is he to be physically restrained or otherwise prevented from moving by any devil or their agents. He is not to be sent on any missions where his role involves any amount of waiting around doing nothing. And if he is captured, retrained or otherwise prevented from moving by outside forces, the devils he contracted with are bound to seek his release by any means necessary.
Other than that, its the usual infernal boilerplate.

I assume you mean Lucian.


Dotting for interest. Always loved Planescape. I'm thinking of doing a Cipher who signed the contract without reading it.
What classes are the 1-3 auto includes picking so I can try and make something complimentary to them?


Unfortunately, a PM from the GM indicates that he isn't likely coming back.


Welp, looks like my concept won't really work with those new Mul racial stats. (Not to mention the hell of a time I've had trying to get your Word Doc character sheet to work)
There is a small chance I'll figure out something else to submit by tomorrow, but it's not very likely.


The Map

Thaxos and one of the kanks continue to bleed their respective bodily fluids. The psionic card slinger finds himself still a prisoner within his own body as the urge to slay Daishata overcomes his senses. A bolt from Hamailii binds him in some kind of psychic energy.

Thaxos Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 6 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 6 = 5
Kank Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 12 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 12 = 5

Current order is:
1. Gideon, Rennoc, Rahger, & Hamailii
2. Lucian
3. Everyone Except Lucian
4. Return to 2.

Status:
Thaxos 139 damage, 35 nonlethal damage, branded, dying, entangled
Lucian 31 damage, entangled
Kank at K15 Unconscious, Stable
Kank at S9, Dying


I allow them in my games. In actual play, they aren't nearly as useful as people think.


So for crunch, how do you feel about Arithmancy and Sacred Geometry Fabian?


I was thinking the slave-culling started happening over several years before he was deposed, so he's spent a good 5 or so years in Altaruk learning from the preserver cell. As for his parent's relationship, I'm not sure. Certainly Kax himself knows nothing about the details.

Contacts in Tyr... He would have tried to make contact with the preservers there when he returned, Sadira's crew. He'd also possibly meet with his former owner (who sided with Tithian), though I don't know if we'd call him a contact.


Yep, mul wizard. My thought was that the 'Benefactor' would secretly be his father, but as that may or may not work with what you have planned (don't even know if the 'Benefactor' is human), he could just as easily be a preserver associate.


Don't let me bump out any other players if there isn't room, but here is the idea I have:

Like most of his kind, Kax was born a slave. His mother, a dwarf named Lazra was one of the lucky ones, a house maid to one of Kalak's templars. His childhood was easier than most, but still harsh and full of work to be done. He never knew his father, and his mother never spoke of him.

Then came the day. Even personal slaves of his templars were to be culled. Kax did not know what was to come, so he kept to his studies as usual. At the noon hour, a strange human man came by the house. He had a hushed, hurried conversation with Lazra. Kax did not hear the details, but saw his mother become more and more agitated as she gestured his way.

Finally, it seemed that the argument was at an end. "My son, you need to go with this man. Follow him and do what he says." With a tone suggesting finality, she hugged him one last time and ushered him to follow the human. The man made a gesture and spoke some strange words. This was the first time Kax had witnessed magic. The man then told him to follow as he headed through the city streets and out of Tyr. At first Kax complained that his slave mark did not permit such a journey and that he would be arrested. The man simply smiled and told him to remain quiet.

Once beyond the walls, the man explained that he had used forbidden magic and asked if Kax was interested in learning. At first the young Mul was reluctant, but as they journeyed through the desert, the man taught him many things. When they finally arrived in Altaruk, Kax was placed in the care of a preserver cell to continue his training.

When Kalak fell, Kax returned to Tyr, to the house he grew up in. Investigation revealed that his mother had been taken by Kalak shortly after his departure.

(The implication is that the 'Benefactor is Kax's father', or at least knew him)


Yes.


Hamailii, Rennoc and Gideon get to act before Lucian's second barrage.


Chumani, so you did. I must be slipping.

Chumani's sword slash is the straw that breaks the old trade lord's back, laying him low. As he falls, a halfling uppercut meets his chin and several body blows connect before he hits the sand. Blood begins to pool from Thaxos's wounds, he is unmoving.

The effect on Lucian is still ongoing, he will attempt to continue carrying out his order until he is incapable of doing so, a day goes by without Thaxos maintaining control, or something else ends the effect (magic, etc).


The Map

Reflex Save vs Lightning Hands: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 2 = 9
Defensive Concentration: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 4 = 29
Entangled Concentration: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Kank Stabilize Last Round: 1d20 + 2 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 2 - 10 = 4
Kank Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 11 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 11 = -6

It appears that Thaxos can now barely stand. You imagine that if the last two blows had connected, he would have been struck down. In a last desperate attempt at victory, he slips through the press of bodies, using the zone of magic cold to guard his flank. Despite the odds, he manages to pull of one more manifestation.

With no one to stop the bleeding, the second kank continues to leak ichor.

Lucian make two Will saves, DC 19 and 17

Lucian, if you fail both saves:

You have talent, boy. kill the templar and we shall discuss your future. echoes in your mind.
You are mind controlled to full attack Daishata to the best of your ability. I’ve already factored in the ‘against nature’ save bonus into the DC.

Spellcraft DC 19:

Thaxos manifested Mind Control.

Sense Motive DC 15 if Lucian fails both saves:

Lucian has been dominated.

Daishata, your speed is only 20’ so you had to run around the East side. luckily Thaxos is unarmed so he can’t take an AoO. Bane is something you have to specify each round.
Chumani, if at all possible, specify the space you are moving to next time. There was a bit of a traffic jam on the map I had to resolve this round.
FYI, any can take a -4 on an attack roll to deal nonlethal damage (unless sneak attacking). Unarmed attacks also deal nonlethal (and can be used with sneak attack).

Enemy Status:
Thaxos (AC 13, Touch 9, CMD 22) 125 damage, branded, bloodied, entangled


Rahger? Gideon?


Rennoc: Oops, I did miss that. So he is entangled (Mostly means -2 AC and CMD)


If you are referring to Binding Pattern, it lasts INT modifier rounds, which have passed.


The Map

Since Gideon hasn’t responded, I will bot him this round so Hamailii can get back into the action.

Gideon takes a lime from Hamailii’s pack and feeds it to her, restoring her to consciousness.

Potionfruit: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Hamailii now has 2 hit points. She is still prone however.

Thaxos Staggered Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Frost Fall 1st round: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Thaxos Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Thaxos keeps his feet, if barely. Once again he focuses his will to heal his wounds. "I am not so easy to dispatch you will find." he retorts. "I will leave you all to rot for the kes'tre'kel!"

healing: 5d12 ⇒ (3, 10, 9, 9, 9) = 40
Thaxos takes a 5’ step and manifests a power. Same Spellcraft as last round to ID. The Blue area is the Frost Fall.

Enemy Status:
Thaxos (AC 15, Touch 11, CMD 24) 74 damage, branded, bloodied, staggered


+Lucian, good to hear it. Go ahead and take your action.


I've PMed the other 3 to no response. The way I see it, there are three options:

1. We continue waiting.
2. We forget they exist.
3. I bot them. (I'm not too keen on this)
4. You four bot them by committee.

Thoughts?


Gideon's heal check was at least 15, so you are stable, but unconscious until you receive healing to go back to positive.


Yes, that is the 'fudge'. Do remember that he is worth more if taken alive.


Given Thaxos's attack on Hamailii and Lucian's compulsion-violating response, I'll fudge things a little for the sake of getting the ball rolling again.
Since his intention does not appear to be to escape any longer, the compulsion to 'let him get away' has now been broken.
Rennoc, it takes both of your actions to get to the kank.

The Map

Chumani:

Kill the card bearer echos in your mind. You feel a nearly irresistible urge to attack Lucian to the best of your ability.
As murdering his allies is not in Chumani's nature, this will grant you a second save at +2 to break the control.DC is still 17.

All but one of the cards hit their mark true, the last deflecting off of Thaxos's skin of all things.

The trade lord stumbles. He focuses his will yet again, his wounds begin to close, but he is still quite wounded.

heal: 5d12 ⇒ (6, 6, 10, 3, 8) = 33
kank stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 9 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 9 = 6

DC 18 Spellcraft:
Thaxos manifested Body Adjustment.

Enemy Status:
Thaxos (AC 15, Touch 11, CMD 24) 92 damage, branded, bloodied


I return.
My appologies for the delay. The post-holiday was just a little crazy. Will post in a couple hours once I'm caught up.


Thaxos sputters as another bolt of psionic energy batters his body. He stumbles back a step. ”I was perfectly willing to walk away without bloodshed. You brought this on yourselves!” he snarls. Once again, the venerable old trade lord focuses his mind. A loud crack can be heard as vicious tears and cuts spread across Hamailii’s body.

force: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 3, 5) = 16
Kank Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 8 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 8 = -4

DC 18 spellcraft:

Thaxos manifested Concussion Blast.

Hamailii takes 16 force damage. By my count, this puts her at -6 hp. She is now dying.

The Map

Everyone Else <- we are here
Chumani
Thaxos

Enemy Status:
Thaxos (91 damage) entangled (last round), branded (the spell this time), bloodied (damage > half his health)


Rennoc, if you made the spellcraft, you are aware that he is dominated. This means complete mind control. Breaking it requires the successful application of: Dispel Magic, Protection from Evil, similiar spells, or putting him into a situation where his orders are suicidal, murderous, or otherwise completely contrary to his nature (which will allow another saving throw). Restraining the elf from a fight that she might not be able to win doesn't fall under this.

Waiting on Gideon, Lucian.


I will assume you just keep trying to grapple & pin Chumani.


She can double move for the same end result.


His new mount cut out from under him, Thaxos lands hard on the sand once again. He grimaces as he takes another bolt of psionic energy. ”You ask me to instead to face certain execution at the hands of the simpering council? I’ll take my chances in the sands. I’ve outlived plenty better than you lot and intend to continue doing so. Now I’ve tried to be civil, but it seems violence and death are all you savages are capable of understanding!” With that proclamation, Thaxos takes a step back and summons a tremendous psionic force, threatening to erase Hamailii’s mind wholesale.

DC 19 spellcraft:

Thaxos manifested Mindwipe.

falling: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Thaxos ride: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 2 = 3
Kank Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 7 ⇒ (12) + 2 - 7 = 7

He falls, stands up (provoking from Hamailii). Then takes a 5’ step and manifests.
Hamailii must make a DC 17 Fortitude save or suffer 3 negative levels.

The Map

Everyone Else <- we are here
Chumani
Thaxos

Enemy Status:
Thaxos (67 damage) entangled, branded (the spell this time)


Sorry, some internet troubles.


Gideon and Rennoc. Though I believe Rennoc is delaying, so we won't wait on him.


Chumani is still grappling Rahger, we'll call that check his attempt to break free. Rahger's failed check simply means Chumani isn't yet pinned. (I know, grapple is always confusing)


Ready to go.


Ignoring all other distractions, Thaxos moves to another kank. The goo is making him fairly clumsy and he isn’t able to mount the bug quickly.

He provokes an AoO from Hamailii as he moves. He also provokes from Daishata and Gideon, though their AoOs would need to be something that doesn’t directly hinder his escape

Thaxos Ride: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 - 2 = 17

The Map

Everyone Else <- we are here
Chumani
Thaxos

Enemy Status:
Thaxos (59 damage) entangled, branded (the spell this time)


If Rennoc and Lucian don't act by the end of today, I'm just going to advance things since I'm going to have limited internet access over the weekend.


Chumani, you don't need to make an AoO. Your command is still to grapple and pin Hamailii, which will necessitate breaking free from Rahger.
