Hey, just wondering if anyone else from the olde PbP is going to be at PaizoCon this year. (This will be my first one and I'm hoping to see some folks I know.)

Happy Holidays to all from the greatest PC to ever grace this PbP!
A couple years ago I told Mike he could run my PC as an NPC if I were unable to play. This was in the weeks leading up to the start of the campaign; I wasn't sure if I could join but wanted to make a PC anyway. We figured that, if I couldn't be in the game full time, maybe I could at least show up from time to time as a kinda NPC to help with, you know, Knowledge checks. (We were thinking more historical stuff, such as my informing Mike of the historical Witch of Eye.) But Mike can have me show up or have you come find my estate in England and roll a d20 and add 25 or so plus the d6. I won't be able to get back for at least another week.
Let's go, I guess.
I'm experiencing a bit of burn-out in PbP; I'm sticking with this campaign but, at least for a couple more weeks, I won't be really helping to push the game forward, just checking for new posts and posting when needed.
Any reason we don't just stay here and wait?"
Please "bot" me until next week. I won't be able to post.
Rd 1:
. Tyr's bomb ignites the already wounded lamia, and she shrieks in fear and pain! . The Norseman seems to have a fascination with fire and cumbustion that can come to no good.... . Oh really, Beeeotch -- You must've failed your Perception to notice ALL THOSE Squares that I made sure DIDN'T catch on fire!
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson, sliding down and moving away from the gaggle of monsters, hurls a Bomb at the 'most dangerous foe.' vs Touch AC
.
'most dangerous foe': .... and I know even on two nat ones
After giving a good 10-15 seconds of time for the silent Lusty Fools to get into an advantageous position, Iommi-Tyr Magnusson goes down as quietly as he is able as well, nodding to Sir Alphonse behind him.
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson is ready to follow the lead -- whose ever lead that may be -- down to the monsters.
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson spends a few rounds to jam the horn with anything around and will even pour the acid from his last Acid Flask on a soft spot or any other place to scuttle the horn.
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson, not confident in his strength enough to climb up a bone tower, devoid as it may be of traps, drinks one of his Potions and Flies up, landing gracefully next to the horn, which he puts in his pack lest some other Bugbear on patrol finds it, along with a bloody mess, and decide to use it. Upon hearing the cacophony of bad music from below, Iommi-Tyr Magnusson waits for Paddy and Sir Alphonse to finish their climb (assuming it takes them longer to climb than it does for me to Fly) and then whispers, "How do we 'stealthfully' climb down?" It is rather conspicuous that I do NOT look at Sir Alphonse when I ask. .
"It shouldn't be too difficult to track this Lamia's hoof prints back to her lair."
With the sense that in the split second before he can retrieve a Bomb and toss it at her there will not be anything left of the Lamia at which to throw said Bomb, Iommi-Tyr Magnusson sighs,.... "Alas, it was not meant to be, Ma Cherie. But really, why are you out here by your vulnerable lonesome in these high times when knights of justice and virtue roam freely the countryside, waylaying unsuspecting villains and brutes?"
"Alas, my arms are not so strong for to hold you, Your Beauty -- I spend my time making these potable aphrodisiacs. Please drink, Mistress of the Mountains -- and I shall lay in your strong arms. "You know, I dreamt of a creature like you when I was a child; it is my destiny that we should at last meet. "Ignore my jealous friends; they'll never understand our love." Iommi-Tyr Magnusson does not embrace the Lamia, but rather waits for her to accept my "gift." .
.
"Then we should exchange gifts My Dear, a bottle of my wisdom elixir for you -- to help see the truest desires and ambitions of those whom you meet -- and for me,.... what will you give me?" Iommi-Tyr Magnusson hands over his Cognatogen to the Lamia.
"And which of the gods, dear Lamia, do you serve? I am a Herald of Odin The ALL Father. I have read that many of your sisters and cousins revere Graz'zt, The Dark Prince."
"I'm curious, Lord Amadeus, what was happening in Turin before the Oni stole the Turin Shroud? "Most lords and nobles have acquiesced to Conflagratious and his demands; some have even joined his vile force. "But not the Duke of Savoy, not the lords of Turin -- can you tell us about the happenings here regarding any emissaries of Conlflagratious or the AntiChrist? Surely they sent someone to you to give demands? ...."Regardless of which, we will track down this Oni and eliminate him. I am merely curious."
"We are both capable and willing to bring ruin upon Oni raiders, furthering the cause of peace. Pray tell us if you know where we can begin our search for this Oriental menace and his villainous accomplices. "We neither need nor ask for 'compensation' -- though hospitality and information are always appreciated."
"Well met, Lord Amadeus. We come from all over the West and even from the Far East. But now we go to Rome, to where none of us has yet been. Pray tell us of recent happenings in Turin so we have a story at which to wonder as we make camp tonight."
Rd 7: Iommi-Tyr Magnusson hurls a Bomb at a Frost Giant who is adjacent to any other enemies....
.
Rd 6: Iommi-Tyr Magnusson Moves back to the edge of the cliff and hurls a Bomb at a Frost Giant who is adjacent to any other enemies....
Rd 5: Iommi-Tyr Magnusson moves to within 30' of the Chimerian still on Nacht -- while staying out of line-of-sight of the Frost Giants -- and hurls another cocktail of carnage. vs Touch AC
Rd 4: vs Touch AC
and for the other Chimerian:
As a Move Action Iommi-Tr Magnusson gets out of Line-of-Sight with the Frost Giants, retreating back away from the ledge above the Frost Giants.
Yeah, 28 misses Iommi-Tyr Magnusson as well. Meanwhile, the other Chimerian's Ref Save (the one focusing on Nacht),....
Note: If the Chimerians are together (I was unsure until you posted.) then the second would -- as far as I can see -- have had to attempt Ref Saves from my Bombs' splash damage. Ref DC22 for 14 or 7 HP
Does my Chimerian, after taking 80 HP, still feel up to firing his Breath Weapon at me? It's his turn and I'm ready to make my Ref Save!
Rd 3: Iommi-Tyr Magnusson hurls another bomb at the Chimerian and Moves to take cover behind a tree or boulder IF one is available in 40 feet. (My Movement is 40 feet.) vs TOUCH AC
EDIT:
Tactical question regarding logistics:
If, however, the Chimerian doesn't get to within 30' of Iommi-Tyr Magnusson in RD 2 then my Readied Action -- and the Chimerian's Breath Weapon -- go off for the first time in RD 3. So my question: Do I get a second Bomb on the Chimerian (RD 3) the same round as he gets his first Breath Weapon against me? Or are we still one-for-one, my and its first attacks in RD 3?
Rd 2 Do the Chimerians have any kind of Breath Weapon or other ranged attack; what do I know about their Breath Weapon AoE, if they have one?
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson Readies an Action to throw a Bomb at a Chimerian when they fly within 30' of me they have a Breath Weapon.
VS Touch AC
I got them from doing the math breakdown on my PC.
Now it's time to face rape some giants.
Long hall, or short -- I'm fine. The loot is getting pretty outrageous but that only matters if combats get too easy. All I want is for France to accept its true King, Henry VI. Oh yeah, and I suppose, to kill Conflagratious.
The false Dauphin is taken by surprise. . . Yep, I'm that good. ....And now I have a Kilt. And it's mithral.
Damn it, I still haven't picked my 5th or 7th Level Feats. Ideas? Please?
We search for evidence of any relationship between the Doppelganger and Conflagratious. We also take a close look at the royal decrees since the time of the false Dauphin to try to determine what his goals were, if he was moving armies or moneys or powerful individuals to or from different places or giving any unusual orders.
Finally, I publicly thank Duke Burgundy for his assistance in restoring the Dauphin and, equally publicly, honor the Dauphin on the Throne by mentioning he will do well until Henry VI comes of age -- and I hope we will be invited to King Henry's official coronation scheduled for a few months from now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Finally, I see if Prince Charles will sponsor my getting some armor for my continuing battles against evil with the other Lusty Fools. I was nearly killed by werewolves recently and, prior to that had never gotten worse than a cut from shaving or a stubbed toe while walking on a cold floor at night looking for the privy. A magically forged Mithral Kilt (like from home) and Chain Shirt would see me through our upcoming struggle against The Anti Christ and Conflagratious.
Yeah, I don't think this is infiltration. This is a Duke and a High Priest charging with several dozen soldiers plus us and, you know, The Dauphin. Subtlety is not needed here, righteous attack is.
Yes, let us kill the Doppelganger and put the true Dauphin on the Throne -- to keep it warm for the rightful King of France, Henry VI -- once he comes of age. Lord Philip and you, Archbishop Christian, if you tell the honorable Royal Guard that the man they guard is an impostor while we kill the Doppelganger it will help insure that innocent men are not killed. Remember, we don't want to kill good men and women who are just trying to defend what they think is the Dauphin!
Agreed! We shall go to Paris, retrieve the rightful Dauphin, prove the truth and execute the impostor. I beg you, do not send word ahead lest the impostor be aware of our intent. He knows of us; of course, that is why he is trying to prevent our return. If you think he does know you are coming with us and there is no way to avoid that -- maybe send word that you have us in custody and are ignoring our "lies."
