phew

I resented the change to Paizo Advantage, actually, to keep what I already had, but it wasn't a big ask to make the change, so I did.

This change to Paizo Plus comes at a great time. I have been re-evaluating my game budget and where my dollars are going. My Paizo spending was not part of that re-evaluation, but it is now. We'll see how it goes, but I think I'm going to be saving money, and not because of Paizo Plus discounts.

To echo another of redeux' comments, I'm quite disappointed that I had to find this information by accident in the forums. Paizo's email communications have gotten increasingly less useful and I rarely read them. I browse the forums even less because of the signal-to-noise ratio.

There's room for improvements in simple communication, Jim. You aren't reaching a significant number of your subscribers, I believe.

Tarphrex squeals - in excitement for success or fear for same, it's unclear - and tries to shrink behind the Black Arrow beside him.

Happy Birthday!

I do not recommend Death Valley this time of year, for the record.

Though I do like to bask in the sun like any self-respecting reptilian.

Nasira examines the wounded warriors and decides on a course of action. She taps the rogue with her staff, using a charge to restore some of his strength.

Staff of Healing, 1 charge for lesser restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

She turns to the barbarian, shaking her head. ”Whoever needs some minor healing, come stand in reach so the overflow of this blessing reaches you.”

Casting normal heal, which is good for 150 points of healing. Then casts restoration to take care of his strength damage.

Polite quiet clapping is heard from another dimension... Bravo!

Sherman's correct. Your spell gives you three choices for a target:

You
A creature - weighing no more than 100 lbs per level
An object - weighing no more than 100 lbs per level

I checked your spell list when I made the plan, assuming we would have discussed in-character.

I was going to quote the group invisibility spell for comparison, but I see that it has changed on aonprd.com. It used to be something along the lines of targets a creature per level, but it is now much broader with "any number of creatures, no two of which can be more than 180 ft. apart". I wonder if that's courtesy of the Remaster - I didn't know they applied remaster updates to PF1e.

Hey, Nissa! Glad you could check in - and glad things are starting off well.

Looking at the mountains as they travel, Nasira asks, "Do you believe we will need protection from the elements as we climb those high passes?"

She is prepared for the thin air at altitude, but might need to adjust her spells for cold.

Hey, no apologies necessary. It happens, hope you are on the mend.

Daniel stands to the side of the others, close enough to hear a whispered command, but physically separate. It’s clear that something is on his mind, but he doesn’t share his counsel with anyone yet. When Thurin raises his hammer, Damiel’s bow leaps into his hand seemingly of its own volition. He seems no more focused on the travelers than before and he does not reach for an arrow. He seems to be listening to something on the foul breeze of the Worldwound.

Ceven could ready an action to blow the ogre back into the hole if he climbs out. We have people with bladed weapons, including Estrella, to get her out. My two cents.

"Depraved Lands? Never mind, do we search out the other two or do we stick together here and wait for them? We know where Nyym intended to go and where Rohan was last seen - and it's the same place."

@Elisani: Yes, that passes with ease. You're already stabbing by the time the creature even reacts to your approach.

@Tarprhex: Unsurprisingly, he was not expecting a pit to appear beneath him...
[dice=Reflex Save]1d20+8
...or maybe he was.
The ogre-kin deftly dodges away from the edge.

It likely won't matter, but this Reflex save was also at disadvantage from Sherman's spell.

Ceven turns to the plant creature and hurls a chunk of stone from across the room at it, hoping to trigger the weakness that Elisani had reported.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Damage: 4d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 3) + 9 = 18

I will try to bot Ceven, but I'm not confident that I know how to resolve his attacks.

A recent post seems to indicate that the attack roll is +8 and a force blast damage is 4d6+2. IIRC, force damage shuts down the damage reduction(?) so it's better than using the telekinetic blast in my mind.

EDIT: I see that it is not force, but bludgeoning, which telekinetic blast can do by virtue of the type of object being thrown. Since that seems to be Ceven's thing, let's use it instead. Damage 4d6+9 and no need to track burn.

"Aye, and I'm always open to alternatives, my friend. I've got your back - just tell me what you need."

She reaches down to unnecessarily aid the elf in standing. "Come. The world holds its breath while we do what needs to be done. I think Tsadok knows."

Yes, congratulations on the return to the workforce! I will have a trip in the middle of May, as well. But my addiction is strong and I will probably continue to post via phone.

Everyone, take care of yourself and someone you love.

No, Cev is safe. The hole's under Graul. But if Graul makes his save and Cev goes first, Cev can push him in telekinetically. Just an option you have available. Hopefully he falls and you can pummel the plant instead.

Are we working with a map? If not, what kind of space does Tarphrex have to create a 10’x10’ pit or cloud without impacting friends? Can I make a pit on the other side of Graul for Ceven to shove Graul into, for example?

Very cool! I’m open to a game with young players if that is ever a thing you want to try.

Tsadok's eyes narrow in annoyance at the Erutaki's words as they both descend the staircase to catch up with Kyt.

Always your go to. The dhampir nods towards IcingFlame, then sighs. There are some things that brute force alone can't overcome.

The woman from the north tries to hide her grin as she mock-denies the accusation, "Not so! I occasionally use my shortbow." More seriously, she adds, "Odd happenings never bode well for Team Ruby. I'm well aware that force is not always the best answer, but it has served me well for long time."

"Well, Venn, we're going to follow our friend in search of context."

Nasira smiles and lays and on his shoulder.

"Aye, my voluminous friend, something is going on. What do you suppose it is?" Fearing that her movement or touching a friend will have a negative impact, the fiery bloodrager studies the room and the frozen individuals within.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

She's not a particularly knowledgeable character. She's more into hitting things than knowing things.

Thanks, I thought it was suitable. She is now a literal fireball when the mood suits her. To her friends: When Liesel-Marie says to give her some space, it’s in your best interest to do so!

OK, I feel like I have finally gotten the Erutaki Princess updated to tenth level and two tiers. I noticed that I apparently missed a talent at an earlier level. I picked up detonation but I can remove it if you feel it's not warranted.

Here’s wishing you can maintain your new more svelte profile!

I have slipped a bit from my obsessive exercise routine and I need to figure out a time balance that lets me get back to it. I’m at an age where the odds are increasingly stacked against me, just because things are slowing down.

But so far, my luck has held out. Of course, to paraphrase a quote sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson, I have always been lucky. And I find the harder I work, the luckier I am.

I love Morgrym.

Eyebrow raised, amazed that she's talking to a bag, Liesel-Marie lowers the head of the giantess into the bag. She hefts their new companion and looks at her more traditional allies.

"Very good. Which way?"

I hope you all have had an opportunity to spend time with loved ones and know you are loved. If not, know that you are still loved. Here’s to a fantastic New Year for each of you.

I moved on the map when I posted moving. Ian can be doing what he’s doing from his current location. I think Dadna is still in the hallway, so I’m not sure where she intended to move or who she planned to attack. I’m kind of doing theater of the mind - I don’t own a screen big enough for this map. My eyes are naturally a factor in that as well, but I prefer to blame my hardware.

Trapfinding aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Bless his scaly little heart, he wants to help.

Got an awesome birthday present yesterday. The entire War for the Crown AP with the map folio and pawn collection. Thrilled.

It'll be years before I get to run it, but it's going on the list.

Missed this! Happy Birthday! I’ve never played War for the Crown. *whistles innocently*

It took me 2 hours to untangle the curtain lights.

That would be my speed when it comes to decorating. “You sit here out of the way and detangle these.”

And I would be happy to do it. I’m no Scrooge, but this is my busy time of year at work while everyone else takes their time off that they’ve accrued while I was taking long weekends and short adventures.

+1 to singing out of season Christmas carols. No talent assumed or expected, at least not if I’m singing.

It was good here. A day with each side of the family and almost everyone was able to join us. That’s rare any more.

For those that celebrate it, wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving today. And if you are preparing the meal, find time for you, not just the guests. Of course, if you don’t celebrate American Thanksgiving, may you enjoy a great day as well.

OK, let's put some details down - vague "I destroy everything" leaves us not knowing what anyone else is doing and we don't even have enough information to debate.

To make an plan for purposes of people picking it apart, I offer the following:

Cev batters the front door down.
The vanguard (Estella, Elisani?) stand back to see what comes out in response. Cev accompanies them if/when they enter.
Ain and Tarphrex are behind the vanguard to buff or ranged spell snipe.
Sherman brings up the rear to keep the rest of the party conscious.
Shalelu watches the party's back and the recently-rescued wait outside and sound the alarm if they see anything.

Tarphrex will cast haste on the party when we engage with an enemy. Until then, he can possibly assist Elisani with trapfinding.

Next up should be Ain's action he prepared earlier, right? Reaaally would like it if we could blind this thing

It was included in Sphen’s post earlier.

Own it, no shame in it.

I finished my half marathon a few minutes behind my goal, but I’m ok with it. We started under threat of thunderstorms and it rained the entire time. Mostly, I just haven’t invested the time to attain my goal. And I have to be ok with that because I don’t have enough hours in the week to do everything.

Liesel-Marie replies, ”Well, I only want it as evidence that we defeated her and we may need to produce that evidence quickly. Keep her on the tip of your tongue if you know what I mean.”

I assume the difference in asking for an item vs. reaching for an item is only the method. The time will still be a full round. If I need to be silent, it would be one thing, if I need to keep my hands free, it would be the other. True?

At the designation of ‘new boss,’ Leisel-Marie’s eyebrows raise, but she doesn’t say anything, watching and listening to the mildly gross display of its contents.
”Thank you, Venn. How aware are you of what happens near you? You can obviously hear and I suspect feel. Can you see, as well? I was looking for a container and I don’t think it would be respectful to ask you to carry my burden. Perhaps you have seen a lesser means of transport in your time here?”

”I have so many questions for you. I have never met one such as yourself. Just how much can you carry, my new friend? If I ask you to carry something, do I need to reach into you to retrieve it later or can you return that item on request? Or do you need to return all of it at once, as you did here? Do you have a means of moving yourself?”

So… sentient giant-sized bag of holding. That’s new and fun.

Liesel-Marie looks up from her conversation. ”I won’t put this,” she gestures at Grenseldek’s head, ”in our new friend’s maw. Do we have anything else we wish to ask Venn to carry for us?”

Liesel-Marie starts, but stands with the bag, looking bemused. "Well, then. Forgive me if that was inappropriate. How should we address you? Referring to you as a bag - now that you have announced yourself - seems rude indeed."

"And... what does a giant put into a 'size-appropriate' tia'dethesk?"

Sorry you had to deal with that, but sounds like it is a good thing you got it checked out. I know an acquaintance that got a bite that wasn't going to get it checked out, but her co-workers forced her to do so. Turned out to be a brown recluse bite and she was very fortunate to have gone in when she did.

Liesel-Marie is only half-listening, still staring at the torch that disappeared into darkness. She exhales, pulling it back out slowly, and grinning when the light becomes apparent once more, nodding.

"Yes, yes..." She looks up, her expression similar to theirs. Handing the torch to Kyt, she lowers the sack to the floor, grabs the bottom, and slowly raises it so its contents spill out on the floor.

Like that?

@Ceven: Hang in there, be patient. As several people have posted, we've had some real-life interruptions but we have almost everyone's attention again, it appears.

1. Elisani indicated she would take the lead and she's been buffed now.
2. Tarphrex intends to assist her - they can still do that, but Elisani's last report indicated the player was under the weather.
3. Ceven is the only one that could potentially move the wiggling cocoon to Sherman would could hopefully aid the individual within, it makes sense to stay with that plan.
4. Sherman's not a front-liner, can back up the party and possibly aid the victim.
5. Ain and Estella can come in as a second wave / make sure nothing from the house comes up behind us - I as a player have a bad feeling about the house, even more than the massive spider.
6. Shalelu can move up to the door and provide ranged support to both the characters in the barn or the two in the barnyard as the situation warrants.

The only question in my mind is whether we should bot Elisani.

EDIT: Elisani is really a melee combatant, so she's not going to provoke it with an attack. Ain has offered to enter with shield raised - maybe the two of them can move forward together.

She sticks the temporarily-enchanted torch into the sack.

Liesel-Marie's eyebrows raise as she watches the monk's struggle. Grabbing either side of the bag to open it wide, she stands to judge its weight, expecting it to be more than it appears, but curious how much more.

She will attempt to maneuver it so a flame of some sort is casting light directly into the bag.
