Channel to harm again.

damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6) = 11 DC 17

Did I mention hating roll20 for pbp before? Yes, I didn't log in and move.

Channel to harm undead positive energy: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) = 13 DC 17 for 1/2

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Yes, that's fine. Side doesn't matter. Haven't logged onto roll20 in a bit.

"I can channel to harm. "

I only just got back on today myself.

OK, leveled to 8th.

"Well that was messy. It calls for a drink!" and he avails himself of his wine skin.

Lars will move up and channel to harm undead.

positive energy: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 DC 16 will well that was lame

Lars will continue to address the demon in his face.

reflex save: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14 fail

"I've felt better" he grunts out in severe pain.

Then he will heal himself using fervor healing: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 good damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Lars will move back and engage the big ugly thing behind the group. He will use fervor to cast divine favor on himself.

power attack, holy smite, divine favor, prayer, good aligned weapon
to hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18good damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Lars will activate holy strike on his rapier.

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 "Sure, I'll take a look. No trap expert though."

We're saved.

Lars nods and puts the wineskin away.

Lars simply follows, slowly sipping his fairly cheap wine.

"Well I do also drink whisky when available, but I tend to stick to libations. It's a Pekka thing. "

"Are there any interactions with wine by chance? Just curious. "

"Personally I find that drinking a fair amount helps the nerves a lot around here. "

"Alcohol leads to slurred speech, slowed reflexes, and a dulled mind. It's also poison."

Lars simply looks at Bastion in horror and says nothing, keeping his distance. He does nod at Baltor's comment.

"Helps if you drink more. "

"It's a Pekka church joke. "

"Not a six pack?"

"Now Baltor don't say bear swarm unless you want to see a real bear swarm. You know how this stuff works. "

Lars will move up and attack a bear.

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Lars, sleeps through the incident.

"So you're saying they're no fun?"

"If you drink enough his singing isn't so bad. I know this from experience. "

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

"Farewell!" he hollers as they ride off.

In a lower voice to the party:
"Though if they have such long range patrols about bandits, wouldn't we be wise to be well armed?"

"I don't recall us saying we were adventurers or being dumb enough to go into Rappan Athuk. That place is certain death. I'm just out drinking."

I'm fairly sure they are lying, though Lars doesn't know it.

"Just traveling. I've got a quest from Peka to try every tavern in the land. "

"I don't suppose it would hurt to talk to them. " and he will step a bit forward, but leave his rapier in its sheath. As they get nearer he will hail them. "Greetings"

I am reasonably certain Bing and Bob never did Road to Rappan Athuk.

Phalanx fighting is a good idea as well, gets ride of allied cover penalties

Lars is good towards the front because of high AC coupled with action economy that allows me to heal myself and attack at the same time. He's not the primary damage dealer, but he can certainly hold the line.

There's 2 items being upgraded. I'm simply buying the rest, under the assumption that they had +1 ring and amulet on hand. Though if it takes long, it takes longer.

Play what you like. I know this does get nastier, but we've got two divine buffer/tanks, and that's a good thing for when it gets ugly.

It slipped back in discussion:
Got some small stuff (and upgrades) for Lars.

+1 ring of protection 2k
+1 amulet of natural armor 2k
masterwork rapier -> +1 2k
masterwork full plate -> +1 1k

Lars who is quite into his cups by this point because he's able to (something isn't trying to kill him), looks up from staring at the spilled ale in front of him at his table.

"Sorek, so you're sifting up some new grist for the mill? <hiccup>" and with that he passes out on the table and starts to snore.

Or we have some time, but not months. It's not black and white.

That would be why I just bought my items. We don't have forever.

I don't see why this should be split 8 ways. I have close to the equipment I started this game with a few levels ago while the new people have current WBL (2 permanent magic items beyond this, and honestly neither one would be something I'd spend the money on by choice). Splitting 8 ways screws me over royally. I say split it 3 ways so the old players can catch up on equipment. In any case, they are the ones who hauled it out, and I don't see why they would be inclined to hand it out to new people who they just met.
