I, unfortunately, have some things going on in my life that require me to cut back on my online time. I need to back out of this game. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I have a good, reliable friend on the boards who would be interested in playing a cleric or support type to help us out. He's a great RPer and knows PF2e pretty well.
I wouldn't mind another actual PC to make decisions on healing with the party; however, if you'd rather not start anyone new and are fine with DMPC, I don't really care to take a stand on it. I'm in it for the roleplay more than anything else and would love PCs to interact with. I found as a DM that if I PC something as important as healing it makes me biased.
Elise, elated by her successful strikes, tries three more times.
Elise takes a step around Serpens, coming up on Olaf's right, and stabs forward twice with her rapier. Serpens reminded her of her footwork, and despite Fentus's command wearing off, she felt empowered by the hits she had landed while under the influence of it. "Come on, just die!" She mutters, baring her teeth at the creature.
I've got to post in the AM, I'm sorry - migraine.
i only just now hit something in like...probably 30 posts. i feel your pain.
"Augh, come on, Serpens, you get knocked out as much as I miss!" Elise shouts, frustrated that the elf was making it even more difficult for her to carry out the task that Fentus had put forth to her. She stabs at the boggard again furiously, determined to hit at least once.
join me in my despair, olaf
From what I've read with my thaumaturge in another game, it does only last until you exploit vulnerabilities again. You have to have a critical success to have it apply to all like enemies in an encounter, but it only lasts for that encounter. A regular success on the exploit vuln check only applies to the one creature you're targeting. Keeps it from being TOO overpowered. In my other game, I succeeded on a check on a drake in the encounter. Once that one was gone, I had to succeed on another to get the weakness bonus on the other drake. If I had critically succeeded, I'm pretty sure I would have been able to apply the weakness to all the drakes in the encounter. It's all per encounter.
"I'm trying!" She snaps back in response, holding her rapier at the ready for the incoming onslaught. "Pretty sure I might be cursed, though..."
Elise rushes the boggard not engaged with anyone , desperately hoping to strike it. Anything.
Alas, her hopes are dashed.
A friend of mine plays a gunslinger in another PF2e game I'm in. It's mechanics-heavy, but really good.
if I'm going down you're all going with me
I'm rolling great in other games! It's just Elise and my half-orc in a 5th ed game. They both are cursed. I'm ready to sacrifice something.
Yeah, I get that as a player...it'll click for the character in a hot second, lol. what did i do to deserve these rolls? I'm ready for elise to just die at this point.
Elise chokes a little bit, gasping from the pain, and makes a frustrated sound. "This place REALLY sucks!" She shouts, taking a step forward and lunging at the boggard with her rapier twice.
"Well, maybe the frog people are the cultists? 'Glory in destruction' sounds pretty culty," Elise comments, rapier in hand as the boggards advanced.
Think we're going to need to replace folks soon? I think we'll have a hard time without a reliable tank-type and a healer-type - our party make-up at the moment is pretty squishy.
"Let me take point to keep an eye out for traps and such," Elise says, rapier in hand as she steps carefully ahead of the group to the next space.
"If we have the time, I can help with that, too..." Elise says, taking out her new kit and pulling out the necessary items.
Elise shivers violently, letting out an annoyed, grumbling sound, and kicks at the corpse of the creature that had held her. "Awful. Gods, this place is dangerous. They hit us hard." Elise will search the room for anything of interest left behind by the Hellknights.
Valdrin is still MIA on the forums. :( Positive vibes his way. Will get something up shortly. My dad's wake was today, and I am working my way through slowly catching up on all my games.
Looks like he hasn't posted in any of his games! Hope everything is alright.
Elise pushes past Serpens and strikes out with her rapier twice, but both strikes miss .
Elise tries again to stab three times at the boggard that has its disgusting, slimy tongue wrapped around her, desperate to free herself.
Between the holidays and getting sick over the holiday, I may be offering up some quite sparse posts in the next few days. I get really bad brain fog when I'm sick. I'm banished to the basement, so I'll have plenty of time for it, at least...
Lol, happens to the best of us, I think ❤️
Elise, snared by the foul creature's tongue, releases a feral growl at the inconvenience and stabs at it three times, hoping that its death might bring about her release.
Elise moves forward to the right of the frogman in front of Olaf and stabs forward twice, snarling with each thrust.
"Let's go," Elise whispers, following closely behind Olaf and looking up at the ceiling just in case the frogs were going to drop on them as the charau-ka did.
Makes total sense to me! Thanks for the explanation <3 Olaf, enjoy the woods!
"Croaking from beyond this door..." Elise comments, drawing her rapier in preparation for a fight. "Shall we? Prepare yourselves before I open this door..." When everyone is ready, Elise will open the northeast door.
Elise presses herself against the wall to allow Big Bumble to pass, happy to follow the crowd on this one. "We can always let them know. I'm sure the bear depends on the goblins for food a little bit," She replies to Serpens's concern.
Elise meanders along, mostly keeping pace with Mr. Serpens. At Olaf's words, Elise nods emphatically. "Agreed. If you all let me sneak along ahead, I can keep an eye out for traps of anything of that nature."
Elise nods at Warbal, placing a hand gently over the goblin woman's. She smiles softly at them. "Have no fear, Warbal. We will." She looks up at Greta, a serious look on her face and nods again. "Breachill is my home. I will do whatever it takes." After their breakfast is over, Elise stands and grins at the others. "I just need to get myself a healer's kit and then I will be ready to go back."
Elise gives a mildly embarrassed glance to Mr. Serpens over his boasting about her family's adventuring legacy...not that he's wrong, just that she isn't one to lean on her family's laurels. She notes Fentus's improved appearance and his cheerful demeanor; not to mention Trinil's improved mood and files that information away for later, a small smile playing on her face. To Councilor Greta, Elise says, "Whatever is going on in there, lots of things from Mwangi are somehow populating the Keep." Elise frowns thoughtfully. "Not sure how they're getting in, but maybe it's related to this whole...Elf gate thing?" Elise shrugs, resolving to ask her contacts around town what they might know about Alseta's Ring and Elf Gates and the like. It had been some time since she had tapped into her Finch persona...perhaps some information exchanges were in order. "Warbal, Helba and her people are alright. They helped us capture Calmont. We have to go and clear out more so it's safe for them to reclaim their space again, though."
"If you would like somewhere a little warmer, Fentus, and Trinil doesn't have another room...here is my address," Elise says, shaking her head. "But if you want an alleyway, who am I to stop you?"
Yeah, all last week, my classes were decimated by kids with the flu. I have classes of 20 most of the time and about half my kids were missing on any given day. Get lots of rest and take care of yourself!
Elise looks around, raising an eyebrow at the rest of the group and shrugs. "I will be staying at my home in town, but I can't speak for the others. Perhaps at the Wizard's Grace in the morning? Break our fasts together."
"We bring Calmont, the arsonist, to justice. On top of his crimes against Breachill, we found him holding the Bramblebrashers at the Keep violently hostage," Elise states, gesturing at the halfling man slung over Serpens' shoulder with a grim expression on her face. "We leave him in your capable hands." She pauses, waiting for a reply from the man, arms crossed over her chest. The local scion looks exhausted, her hair frizzy and her clothes torn and bloodstained from the many injuries she had sustained at the keep. She imagined Serpens and, really, many of the rest of them looked the same.
Oh, I agree with you. I assumed that was the route we were going. DM posted otherwise, so I am making sure there isn't something I am missing. Also--I am being sincere and not passive aggressive, just to be clear. I am autistic and my tone doesn't always translate well via the internet.
We decided on waking the town guard captain or finding them or whatever instead of locking him in the cellar. Is this not an option? Edit: Elise has also stated a few times that she doesn't have space for everyone unless they want to sleep on the floor. It's fine if people want to go that route, Elise won't be upset.
"I think that would be a sensible plan. Let's wake the captain. Serpens, you should not go alone. You'll end up getting arrested for being so pompous," She says, a hint of teasing in her voice as she stands beside the elf. "After, we can all get some rest. If anyone needs somewhere to stay, I have an extra bed and some floor space. Save you some money, yeah?"
