Looks like we have 4 people... so we'd want at least one more... then someone would take over for GM Socrates...

No problems! I'm DMing just one right now, and it really is a draw on time... especially given "special tracking" like some of these have.

Whoever is left, please chime in...

Hello? I'm here. The internet problems were not helping. Also... I did not get a notice that there was a new post here... so others might be looking and not seeing the indicator to click in.

So we've got Geo and max... who else is still on board.

There's not mot Maximos is going to be good at here... and feeling dejected from his experience at Otto's he goes to the Tent City (I think it is) where he can pay his way to success... dropping 20gp (I think, high tier), to gain some popularity. "It's all in the numbers... " he mutters.

I played three games of the playtest and some Heroscape. Enjoyed my time overall.

I'd say it still "feels" like Pathfinder. And while, if you read the boards, there's a lot of "you nerfed this" or "I don't like this specific class feature," I think it's a pretty solid framework. I am eager to Playtest and provide feedback.

Maximos will head out to Otto's... as a librarian and a scholar he's interested in knowing more about the demon worship.

Max let's other's know his plan in case the object.

Maximus says he'll head on over to the general store as he's in need of replenishing some scrolls, once at the store, while looking through the merchandise he'll try to strike up conversation, "Oooh, I see there's going to be an execution, do you know what the scoundrel did to earn himself this fate... or maybe herself, themselves?"

"Mmmmm... Pathfinders die... Pathfinders move on... 1 in 14.... yes, I'm sure that is correct."

After listening to the venture captain.

"Yes, yes... three Pathfinders to be hung. See... Pathfinder's die... I may need to recalculate, lets, see... "

"Yes, great questions Meran Thanlos.", after thinking some, "And do you have any details on the murder? Who did they murder? do you know the circumstances? Was it related to their mission?

Lifting his head from a book a little gnome looks at the new members, he squeaks, "Ah, hello newcomers! Good to make your acquaintance! Hmmm...", the gnome is muttering, numbers and calculations, fingers waving in the air, "... only a... hmmm... 1 in 14... yes, 1 in 14 odds you'll be around in a month... but, good to meet you none-the-less!"

Max puts his hands on his, leaned over and panting. We can't take much more of this... I'm nearly spent.

He then walks over to Lem, handing him his wand (does Lem have one? Should use that up first), to pop a heal on Eoswuf, and heal up the bard as well.

Level 1, you're right DC is lower... DC 12? ... so, first was not a scroll, the second was... so the attack on Lem would have happened... third is also DC 12

Round 4 he was stunned by color spray, Round 5 he was stunned by color spray... it's now top of round 6 right... so he should be stunned until Maximos goes again? I was wrong last time I questioned, really, just want to understand! :)

And doing the only thing he can, Max five foot steps, draws another scroll and attempts to stun him again! Color Spray DC 16

Maximos whips out a scroll, and waits for Sir Illivan to become undazed to cast his spell.

Readied action - Scroll Color Spray... DC 16

"Now's your time... take him down!!!

"Someone must heal Eoswulf! Withdraw Eosulf! WITHDRAW!!!", yells Maximos as he runs up, waving his hands and uttering magical nonsense....

Please clarify:

Maximos tries to prevent Sir Illivan's movements.
Will Save vs Daze 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Is that Eoswulf tires to prevent...?

Maximos, kicking himself for once again not prepping earlier, runs forward, drawing his wand of mage armor, and casts it on himself.

"Eoswulf! Look out!"

Maximos runs as well, calling out, "That's all I had!", referring to the alchemists fire.

Glancing at his bat fluttering behind him, Maxiums wondered if bonding with an object might have been the better choice... if only he could cast burning hands right now.

What's missing is the My Campaigns tab that listed just my campaigns, with unread messages.

Max silently returns to his books. Hoping to forget the recent unpleasantness.

Max stands there, staring at Hinkle and Eoswulf, not sure what is going on... but knowing one thing...

"Really, the pollen is bad... we... should go"

He walks forward and grabs Sir Illivan... and tries to drag him with him...

"Lets GO!"

Max mutters numbers and calculations, "given the numbers they must have to have taken out a standard sized patrol... and cavalry... the known behavior of demons...
