Gotta take care of yourself first. It's understandable.

Grrr... We fight the good fight!

atk, imp trip: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18

I think they are down, prone. Glad they are not incorporeal.

Crap! Read this and must have passed out one night. I'll get on this today!

The heads grow BACK!!! His eyes are wide as saucers...

Something shifts in Astrid's mind, a tugging.

It's a sensations she's quite familiar with... application of the abstract to the real world.

Know (Arcana): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Know (Psionics): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Dude, hope it doesn't break your dogslicer...

I got yer dogslicer, right here... :)

Nope, adamantine.

DM has been kind enough to allow a favorable interpretation.

Late to this, but my Sunite armorsmith would be so down with trying to find the perfect material for your armor. It could be a whole quest! Maybe not a very interesting one... but she'd be so excited! Even if he were making it for himself, she'd want to help. :)

Kaliban is happy to hang, of we both get in. I'm trying to avoid the crafting path, though. So reliance on each other could be interesting.

In the immortal words of Sir Robin...

RUN AWAYYY!!

This game has been running just over 5 years and you are one of the best. I hope I've reciprocated a fraction of the joy you've extended.

Thank you for helping me bring Valeska to life. Your settings and NPCs are awesome!

I only wish the best for you and yours, and if that means stepping away from this table, you have my blessing.

I would love to keep in touch if you are OK with me bouncing game ideas off of you (asking your advice) from time to time.

As to my fellow players, it has been fun! And with Kain, since the beginning! Thanks for 5 years of always having Valeska's back.

I wish you all could have been there from Day 1, we have a good group. I'll see you on the boards! Game on!

Always,
Hassan

The goblin wonders if the biggun will get attacked by more biggun women... and rushes to his side.

Are we using Variant Multiclassing? With the generous extra feats, it would be relatively easy to trade a few for the ability to further customize characters.

Yes, she'd mentioned they can be used for such.

Cautiously, the goblin looks around then, starts down the stair.

Perception, traps: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (19) + 25 = 44

All good, we switched driving as we're were heading home... I was like..

Yay! I get to post!

@ Ciri what magical two handed weapons do you have laying around...

+2 glass-steel demon bane longspear

Come on in, the water's fine.

Venice by Night - Saturday - April 5, 1309

Assault on the Knights - Lorenzo, Ranerius, Alessandro, and Geoffroi - NPCs: Andrew, Onfroi, & Lydia

What would you do if hunted and ambushed? Defend yourselves... that is what happened here. In life and in my current... state. I only sought to protect Venice.

...and me. Them. All of us. He makes a gentle sweeping arc with his arm encompassing all present.

Do you think Dunstan has a mortal master? Truly? His master does not seek what's best for you. His master is your enemy, my enemy. They pit us against each other. They tell you that you are what? Cleansing Venice?

You your forces and ours have decimated one another, they will swoop in and destroy us all. We have a common enemy and for better or worse, my enemy's enemy is... my friend. I believe that is from some ancient Indian text. But, I digress. He pauses.

A family was taken as hostages, as bait... two men, a woman and two small children. They are innocent, they know nothing of the darkness in the world you have been made privy to.

How do you justify these actions? The span of a breath, as if he needed one.

Where is the family being kept? What will ease your conscience as you slaughter the innocent men, women and children at Khadaji Manse? Where do I find Dunstan, so that I can begin to unravel this... deception?

YOU and I are on the same side of this, for now. We are both pawns and until we get to the hand that controls your superiors and makes them work with Dunstan and who his master is, you will never be free.

You will fight for a false cause and your death will be... empty. I have opened your eyes, Heaven's Warriors. What you do now, with that knowledge is what you will be judged by. Ignorance is no longer and option. [/b]

Good news and good news...

@GM Labyrinth - thank you for the support. I'm withdrawing for "outside" reasons.

Looks like it's going to be a great game and I like the concept. Good luck everyone and game on!

Hopefully, I'll catch another one of your recruitments or we end up as players at the same table.

The good news is for the next higher roll. @TheWaskally!

Peace!

@GM KoolKobold - thank you for the support and character review. I'm withdrawing for "outside" reasons.

Hopefully, I'll catch another one of your recruitments or we end up as players at the same table.

Not sure if you've had any exposure to this adventure or at least the way the boss man runs it...

It's what I'd call, Hack and Slash.

Some puzzles or brain teasers, too.

Wisdom isn't Isidiana's strong point. I'm hoping others in the party can keep her from doing something too foolish

0 - Level Half-Orc, will do what I can :)

Take your time, focus on the work that has to get done... and we'll see you when you're ready.

I'm actually waiting on 6pm, Friday :)~

He's a feinting rogue, for that extra +1d6. Hopefully not a fainting rogue :) Elephant in the Room helps, thank you!

He'll be more capable at uRogue Lvl 3 (character level 4?), when he gets +Dex to damage.

Planning on multi-classing into Fighter relatively early, for whip proficiency. He should come fully "online" as they say by Lvl 6 (+5 BAB, with Improved Whip Mastery).

With an emphasis on RP and character development, this should be fine?

Depending on how the party looks at that time, I can go more Rogue or Fighter as needed.

I'm not sure if it's always the case but, with Elephant in the Room... does Weapon Focus apply to an entire Fighter weapon group?

And, do you enjoy maps? Some builds I'm thinking of might be dependent upon positioning, flanking, reach, etc...

Also, Good Luck with your first PbP game!

Of course, happy to be a backup.

d100, no psionics (who remembers?): 1d100 ⇒ 78

I'm a frontliner, baby! Just always roll bad init :)

...Like chucking out bright-eyed, orphaned kittens from the cradle, I swear... Shame on you for not warning me...

Too funny, my son-in-law just rescued a kitten from the backyard/woods about a month ago. Found it in the underbrush... named it Twig. The name inspiration for my goblin submission.

:)

Game on and good luck everyone!

I don't remember other than in this campaign when my characters have every faced a dragon.

It's terrifying! Just puttin' it out there.

We should provision ourselves and head out. Time is of the essence... as they say?

The young man had a soft spot for children and his concern was obvious.

All sounds perfect, nice thoughtful touch... Giving him a ray he can deliver sneak damage with.

Also happy to travel with folks.

Might also consider spending the time training with Maestra Espindola. Might be a minor boon in there somewhere. Your choice though.

Oh, I was actually thinking of sleeping there if she had the room and doing chores.

Just didn't want to be anti-social with my party peeps.

Play on words. Goblin is adjusting and doing his part as comic relief.

hey Enigo Montoya, where are you. Your not dead yet.

I'm here... You guys sliced and diced.

I am glad someone got my Princess Bride reference!

Welcome, Jhenn!

Failed to confirm, she takes the 15.

Is Chaucair is singing, should be another +2. For 17 to hit, if that matters.

I don't have Perception as a Skill, what's a Perception roll? Just WIS bonus?

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Slow and steady.

Sorry folks this week has been exhausting...

Exhausting happens! Rest and replenish when you can.

I'm going to retcon Xiamara back in to take Chinuye's place.

That's the benefit of introducing a Chaos plot... alternate realities.

:)

I'm not being effective, here... I need to help over there.

Dropping his bow, Djack moves around the horses, drawing his rapier as he attempts to tumble past the troll and double team it with Amideo.

Acrobatics, tumble avoid AoO: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Now, flanking with Amideo... he attacks! Huzzah!

atk, right troll, rapier, inspire/flag, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 28
dmg, right troll, rapier, inspire/flag, sneak, disorient -2/-4 to Hit: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + (3, 6) = 18

I'm imagining Fralk being in a clockwork cockpit inside the steel ball... part hamster wheel, but the effort magnified by the clockwork gears.

And two levers for steering like the old school Green Machines.

Stuffing! Outside the bird.

My mom made the best stuffing I ever had. She put it in the bird and made plenty outside of it.

It was best outside the bird.

I like it when it gets that little bit of crust and crunch on the edges. We use these individual crocks/casserole things.

I think I'm going with the Green Tongue (Ex) <<< Link (if that's OK) for level up similar to reason below, with Minor Magic (Message) as the downtime bonus granted. He hasn't used it yet, but...

The contact with the entropoids (the big nasty ones) where he failed his Save... unlocked something in his mind.

Working and studying with the wizard helped shape it and bring understanding.

It's all mostly RP and in keeping with his "fairy tale," magic and whimsy persona.

Wow, Rocko wouldn't really know what to do with 1000 gp. He was rather lost with just 200. I'll have to get in the right mindset to think about it.

Upgrade armor so you can still move 30'.

We can't afford a TPK, while you're hustling to catch up.

Guys? There you are. Why are you all laying on the floor? Guys? :)

Everyone, please give Plastic Dragon a warm welcome!

...but the green one to the west (bordering the two water hexes) moves us closer to our orc & dwarf allies...

That hex would be a good one to take...

Agreed the Hex to the "West-North West," it's actually a thing :)

Based on our current size, I believe we can ONLY:

*) claim 1 hex
*) improve 2 hexes
*) build 1 building (first house doesn't count)
*) establish 1 settlement or create 1 army unit

I think:
1) 1.0 BP to Claim N_NW Hex1
2) 2.0 make it a Farm
3) 6.0 make Hex East-North East a Mine?] Effect: Economy +1, earn +1 BP per turn when collecting taxes during the Income Phase.
4) 6.0 BP to Rebuild Tavern (Clover's Crossing)
5) 1.5 BP to Rebuild 1 Houses (Clover's Crossing)
6) 1.0 BP Another Army Unit

Was trying to keep the "brass ball bearing" from hitting the ground... keep things quiet. I imagined it falling slow motion about to alert with the sound of hitting the hard ground. Building drama!

@GM Plastic Dragon - also, if you've under estimated the time required to prep or run a game (it happens). Or if stuff just keeps coming up (it happens).

No one (reasonable) will fault you for delaying or postponing indefinitely. Don't give in to perceived or real peer pressure.

RL comes first, Self, family (including pets), work, etc... You'll do your best GM'ing when you're in a healthy less-stressed space.

Scratch the itch by joining a game. It takes less time and you can get ideas for (the mechanics of) running your own game.

Peace!
ps: I know I'm not winning popularity contests but, we should always be supportive and understanding.

I must say, the odds of all of the PCs and most of the NPCs being able to attack this round were pretty low. I feel like you I go easy on you guys sometimes, but this combat COULD have gone very differently.

You can always just have another one show up.

I feel I did my part and FAILED the Will Save, like a champ! LOL.

Will save DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

It's like a schtick, now...
