Hey guys, sorry for the absence. My wife's grandmother suddenly passed a few days ago and we had to make an unexpected trip up to Ohio for the funeral. Couldn't really find the energy to post while I was there.

Juxt keeps to the center of the rooms and waits for others to complete their inspections, lest she stumble upon some hazardous technology.

If there is any overkill, Juxt will redirect to anything in range that is already injured.

I don't really have LoS on anything unless Phylla moves so I can occupy her spot, so I think I'll just continue to buff here.

Cast Heroism

Juxt casts a spell to prepare herself for the coming fight.

Juxt readies her bow at Yvell's indication and looks around herself.

Sorry for my absence everyone. I'd provide reasons for it, but let's just call it a series of unfortunate events. I think I'm ready to resume and apologize for no prior warning of my disappearance.

"You said you've investigated before at Jeviks complaints?" Juxt asks Redfang.

"These beasts were quite large, did no tracks ever turn up before now? Any reasonably skilled tracker should have been able to locate the abominations if they'd been in the area for long."

Juxt let's her arrows fly into the non injured one.

Oh and activate Judgement (Justice).

-Posted with Wayfinder

When we first go a hint of bad stuff going down with the tracks, could I have casted Heroism on myself? If not I will do so now.

If I can have casted Heroism then, then I'll five foot back and cast Divine Favor instead.

Sorry for the absence, wife has been in the hospital, will get a post up very soon.

"Are you certain it wise to leave the tower for now? Whomever sent those constructs at us may be able to field more by our next return."

"Nevertheless I defer to your judgment."

"Maybe I could just shoot the lock off with my bow?"

Slashing Grace is the biggest offense, imo.

"Your servants are done dispatching the aggressors, would you care to come and join us pretty Phylla?"

Turning to Yvell, "Where did you find such an interesting owner?"

"Don't go poking around it! It might just explode."

The point is, in a 1vX it always favors the party. Even if the BBEG is a lich or whatever, besides especially bad luck or a CR+8 or something like that over the party they will always win. Maybe with a death or an unconscious player or two, but it's just the nature of the game.

This is where Crane Wing is strongest, in a situation where the party was already going to win.

But as you add more and more threats the value of crane wing continues to diminish.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The other mound still gets an attack through a round too you know.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The old crane wing had a lot of counter play to it, especially Vs things with intelligence.

Not to mention if you couldn't fight defensively for some reason, you couldn't wing, which can happen a lot.

Not to mention the most effective creatures it's against are vermin and beasts, who attack the closest things to them that hit the hardest.

If you're crane winging, sure the Trex might lose one attack to you, but as soon as the barbarian hits him, he's going for the barbarian, not you.

Not to mention the Cardinal rule of Pathfinder. Action economy is everything. No matter how strong you put a creature up against a party, a 1v4 is never going to be favorable.

But if you didn't use a Trex but instead two Shambling Mounds, that monk is DED.

Well that's half their problem, anytime they see something they don't like, instead of isolating the interaction and using a surgeon's grace to scalpel out that problem, they instead grab a chainsaw and Paul Bunion their way through half their rule book to not only kill the offending interaction but everyone and thing that interaction loved, and any civilians that got caught in the way.

Paizo likes to go through phases of insanity where they just arbitrarily change things.

Like how SLAs didn't qualify for feats, then they did, now they don't again. Something I've flat out ignored when GMing because of how pointless that reverted ruling was. Is a rogue or fighter with Arcane Strike really making casters feel inadequate? Is it really?

-Posted with Wayfinder

I pretty strongly disagree with that, it was a fine feat as it was. It was situationally very strong, and other times just a solid option. More feats should have been like Crane Wing, not less.

Just my 2 cents.

Just frowns at Dolga's suggestion that mistrust ing technology was crazy, but pushes it aside, "I am prepared to leave whenever."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Juxt bows her head, "I am ready and willing to accompany you all whenever you are ready."

Juxt reaches over her shoulder to grab her bow, shaking it back and forth along her shoulder.

"I'm a fair shot with my bow, as well as possessing the powers of the divine, and a spot of tactical acumen."

"When our mutual friend Baine here went missing, I thought it best to go searching for him. But if I am honest, I failed my lord. I waited far too long to act, and by the time I had steeled myself to go to his aid, you all had already rescued him and left, not to mention restored the fires of Torch."

"As an Inquisitor of Arqueros it is my duty to protect not only the peoples of Torch, but all those of Numeria. If the Technic League is exerting its influence to bring harm to its citizens, then it is my charge to see them stopped."

"Your goals seemed to me to at least be in the same vein as my own, as so I sought you out, with little success unfortunately, as my luck seemed to take a turn for the worse during my pursuit."

Juxt was all too pleased to hear of everyone else's displeasure and mistrust of the Technic League, she had truely found herself in the company of like minded allies. Excepting the orc. He dealt in technology, he would have to be monitored closely.

Extending her hand to Yvell, "It is good to know that the group I have been following has ties to Lord Ragathiel, I hold the General of Vengeance in high regard. I can see his presence in your swordplay."

Looking to each member of the group, "I saw your display in the arena at Scrapwall, I was impressed, but unfortunately wasn't able to meet up with you all to introduce myself."

"I am Juxt, Inquisitor of Arqueros, and I too have been disturbed by the actions of the Technic League and wish to see them brought to justice."

Thanks for the tip. I haven't got a chance to catch up and post yet because my wife ended up going to the hospital today (she's okay) and had to catch up on work that I missed.

I'll catch up in a hour or two and get a post down.
