"Lad"'s page

Shame it's come to this, but thanks. Just want to play my char again. ^^

"I guess it's easier for we smaller folk to relate to them.", she turns away, finishing her search of the bodies.
"You are right, though. We should move quickly."

"They're cruel, yeah. These guys never stood a chance though. And they're too dumb to just run away. It feels like squashing a bug when you could just move it outside, y'know?"
As she says this, Lad is also rifling through their pockets and carefully releasing anything living in them.

"Dumb goblins. I feel kinda bad for them.", sighs Lad as she pokes one to make sure it's down.
"We should make extra effort to be more sneaky, I think."

Also, I have/can use my wand, so I think we should give the other potion to Jaware. Can occultists use cure wands too?

Lad instinctively brandishes her rapier, and flings acid at the gobbo we so rudely interrupted.
acid splash vs touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 for damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

I'm not great at sneaking, but stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
If we are trying to knock out the goblin, don't rely on me for damage. I'd rather we sneak past it.

I'll heal up to full (takes a minute), and look around for any stairs.

Sorry, I keep getting it wrong, it's sKrEeK, isn't it?

"Thank you, SkReEk! They were some nasty gobbos, eh? Did we get 'em?"

Lad pulls out her Infernal healing wand and stands up. If we're out of combat, she'll offer to heal up SkReEk before herself, and then anyone else who needs it.

Stabilise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Also, the first goblin that attacks me next turn might get parried: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 and riposte: 1d1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 for damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Lad sees her opportunity and darts in to stop the goblins firing at her allies. Rush into combat with red and blue.
She then takes a stab at the red goblin.
rapier vs red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 for damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 for extra damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

2 Non-lethal. Best. Critical. Evar.

Waiting on the GM. I think we might prefer posting more than twice a week if we want to get this finished.

Isobel hasn't posted in almost 2 weeks. I think it's safe to assume it'd be a Daze on a goblin, and then we can move this along?

Spell combat is level 1. Spellstrike (where you put the spell on the sword and only roll to hit with that once) is level 2.

I'll move myself later, but i'll only take one step upwards and send a ray of frost at Red.
ray of frost vs touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 for damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Should also point out that the red goblin has taken at least 3 damage, 14 if its less than AC 19, so I'm going to wait for the damage to update before I take my turn.

The Magus class grants spell combat at level 1, which is like two weapon fighting but one is a spell (hence the concentration checks for casting in combat). This is why I've been takin -2 on all my attacks too.

My archetype limits the amount I cam do it, but its only a swift action to turn it on/off, and I am keeping track of the number of rounds I have used up.

The dog should be downed.

Also, daze should be preventing goblin attacks, so you need to make the save before they attack.

"Grah! I HATE dogs!" Lad steps into flanking position with sKrEeK.

rapier attack vs the dog: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 - 2 = 8 for damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

shocking grasp concentration: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 vs dc17
touch vs dog: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 2 = 4
Reroll: touch vs dog: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 2 = 16
For electric damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

5-foot step into melee with the dog, first hitting it with my rapier and then with Ray of frost, casting defensively.

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 2 = 15
for damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Ray of frost concentration check: 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 4 = 25 vs DC 15.
touch attack vs blue dog: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 17
for cold damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Yeah, dancing lights is 4 orbs of light so you should get to choose 4 squares to illuminate.
Jaware did shout a warning, so one would assume you'd send lights to see the enemy.

"Yeah, get out now or we'll start throwing all sorts of nasty things at you!

intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Ready a Ray of Frost.

"You've got until 3! One! Two...!"

perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Goblins don't have darkvision do they?

"Hey, most of us can see fine in here. Do you think you could trust us Isobel? That light might attract more nasty goblinses..."

Lad continues to slowly advance, assuming the rest of the group stay in sight of her.
Does she see anything at all inside the tower? (Like, scenery and such).

Sorry, readied attack rolls:
ray of frost on the first enemy to come into sight: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 for damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3 cold.

When the lights appear, Lad cautiously enters the tower, sword drawn, and another ray of frost held ready.

"If my sharp eyes can't see anything, this must be a magical darkness. Does anyone have magical light?"

Lad looks to the others for help.

"Scaredy cats!"
Lad is visibly disappointed that the goblin ran off, and decides to give chase. Double move, darkvision.

"Welp, all guns a-blazin'!"

Lad continues advancing and lets loose the ray on the goblin.
ray of frost: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 (touch)
For damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 cold

Lad takes the lead from sKrEeK, creeping up to the tower.

stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

She is however, less practiced at this particular skill.
Crouching down, she begins to tap into her magic, intending to cast Ray of Frost- if necessary for self-defence of course.

perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Lad is less focused on her surroundings, much more concerned with gathering her trinkets. She strolls confidently at the head of the party, listening intently to the strange group of people assembled here. The rat is particularly interesting. I've never seen one before; I wonder how many more there are?

A cute-looking gnome girl arrives soon after, choosing a comfortable spot to sit on the ground and begin tinkering with various trinkets. You notice a small rapier at her hip, which she keeps touching subconsciously, as if paranoid about losing it.

"Hmhm." Giggling at the ratfolk's sign, she considers that perhaps speaking simply might serve in many situations. For instance, some that may wish to tell lies might be forbidden to do so, and careful wording can lead to false implications. Forcing others to speak directly would make that much more difficult. She wonders if this man-rat is as unintelligent as he seems.

"sKrEeK? I see you like to play with fire. I guess I should give you plenty of room in there?" She says jokingly, but making a mental note to give the alchemist no reason to aim anywhere near her.

^ Exactly what I mean.

Probably not Magabeus's fault. He apologized anyway.

The world works better this way. ^^

Thanks, SkimperD.

Well, one of us probaby got him. ^^

Is Charvion the green circle on the map? If so, then

Else, can someone update the map please?

Lad uses the opportunity as best she can, striking out fiercely with her shortsword.

shortsword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15
damage: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (6) = 10

The blow is fierce, with all the pent up frustration of having been denied a chance to show what she's made of, but does it hit?

"Tiny, but fierce!"

Waiting to see if I get a flanking partner. I can get to Laiashi's square, or the ones immediately north and northwest of her.

Best reaction ever, Lai.
At least your name makes sense now.

Thank you to the people that have played with me in this scenario, Hasshin, Marsius and Yyrkoon. It's been a real pleasure to meet you. ^^

@Hasshin: I wish you a fantastic week away. I'm sure it'll be everything you hoped for. ^^

As for botting Hasshin, he said he'd be away, and asked to be botted in that time.
I did not ask to be botted, and posted well within the constraints you set.
Why are you not grasping this?

Luckily, you often know who the GM will be in advance. ^^

Well, it has only been my game you've messed up...

Unless you want to bot Marsius now, since his last post was 24hrs, 10 minutes ago. And Lai's was 11pm on Friday.

Go on, prove it's not just my game you'll take over.

I've even posted suggested tactics for them. ^^

I'll respond to your points of contention one by one...

BLAH BLAH BLAH, lots of ranty nonsense.

"Sorry, guess I could have been more patient. Didn't mean to mess up your game."

Fixed that for you ^^

2 minutes ago by my timer..

Oh and FYI, I'm not sticking around to complain some more, I'm sticking around to give you a chance to improve. The rest of the party seem to think that PbPs can be good, so I'll give it another chance. Not with you as GM though.

You could easily make this an enjoyable game again.

1) Apologise (obviously you've never worked in a customer-facing role)
2) Provide descriptions of rooms, enemies and other things that we encounter. Create the world for the players to roleplay in.
3) If we're still running slow, post a request asking players to post more often (maybe specify once every 12 hours or something)

Simple stuff, one would have thought you'd have picked it up after 173 scenarios, but don't let that stop you learning now.

@SkipperD: I'm not confusing you two.

You don't seem to understand that you made the game impossible for me to enjoy.

You ruined a perfectly good game by taking over my part in it.
You think you're above making mistakes.
You think you're above apologising.
You are the one who neglected to tell the party that we were running slow, and you could have asked us to speed up to fix that issue.

Instead you decided to make us miss out on parts, take over characters, and then make it out like it was our fault. That's what we call a bad GM.
