Anyone know why there are two trolls named Kargadd? One in the fort with Hargulka, and one in the Companion Guide. Neither one references the other at all.
I've been trying to purchase a Collector's Edition subscription for a week, and made the mistake of leaving it sit in my cart for a few days before making the purchase. In the time between me selecting the item and making the purchase, Guns and Gears was changed to 'unavailable.' I got impatient and made the purchase without it, but now I'm wondering if this book will ever be coming back. I'd prefer to buy it through Paizo [I'm already kicking myself because I bought Secrets of Magic secondhand], but I'll get it on Amazon if I have to. TL;DR: Is the Collector's Edition of Guns and Gears going to be available again through Paizo in the next few months or should I just order it on Amazon?

So I have a 6-person party of characters and it's been my experience DMing that either through poor encounter management or simply too much mercy that my players are having too easy a time of it. So I added a flesh golem to the Xanesha encounter [in addition to the Scarecrow]. The party climbed up onto the top of the tower to find an illusion of Nualia to greet them. Surprised, the party wizard [also a gnome and sister to the cleric] opened fire with magic missile and was promptly sneak attacked by Xanesha. The encounter played out as the party split...fighter and paladin dealing with the golem and the casters/rogue trying to bring down Xanesha from range and having limited success. The fighters were whittling down the golem, but Xanesha was clearly toying with them for several rounds. She finally moved up and attacked the cleric after the second time she saved the fighter from death at the golem's hands. Her spear crit, and impaled the gnome, reducing her to -4 HP. [WARNING: I began taking extreme liberties with the combat rules for cinematic reasons here] With the gnome at the end of her spear, Xanesha grinned wickedly and simply flicked her off the spear...and the tower. In a panic, the party druid [currently in air elemental] dove after her, and I ruled that he had the speed to catch up with her and drop out of Wild Shape [about 60 feet from the ground], with the intent to grab her and absorb the impact of the fall as best he could. He succeeded, but that left both of them lying on the ground BADLY wounded, him with several broken bones at 0 hp and her still negative [though she had made her roll to stabilize]. Meanwhile, the flesh golem was growing weaker, so Xanesha, annoyed, ordered it to grab the dwarven fighter and charge off of the tower. Through several back and forth grapple checks, the dwarf managed to break its hold and get out in time to make use of air walk...but not before the flesh golem impacted on the cleric. The sad part is that the druid saw it coming, and opted to cast gaseous form rather than risk failing any checks/saves I made him roll to pull the gnome out of the way. |
