Yes - thank you for running! I am sorry I was so out of it for much of the game!

Done!

"Yes, we made it back. Not a journey I plan on repeating! I am fine - some of my companions may still need healing."

Ryiah waits anxiously for the gates to close and then releases a huge sigh of relief. She visibly relaxes, and actually sits down on the ground, completely exhuasted.

"Hurry! We must leave! We won't be able to bring anything back if they overtake us. Larraz, you must know this area. What is the best way to get out of here?"

I will try to post tomorrow. Still dealing with health issues with my kid, so I haven't been keeping up with PbP.

Ryiah quickly checks the other zombies, gagging as she does so. "Yes, let's get out of here! Do you recognize any of them, Larraz?"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Still playing, Ryiah resorts to her old standby - inspiring her allies and flinging items through the air.

A - Inspire Courage
AA - Telekinetic projectile

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Ryiah forces herself to move closer to their enemy. [i]Why did I think this would be "fun" again?"[/b]

She begins to play again, figuring her companions can use the extra encouragement.

A - Stride
A - Inspire Courage (+1 to attack/damage, +1 saves vs. fear)

Seeing how difficult this creature is to hit and fearing for her friends, Ryiah tries a different strategy.

She murmers a short chant and holds her hand out toward Ralthiss. Her hand is briefly surrounded by a dark haze.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
A - Reach spell
AA - Chill touch
If she hits, he'll need to make a DC 17 fortitude save. Failure means he's flatfooted for one round. Crit fail and he's fleeing for one round if he fails a will save.

The music temporarily stops as Ryiah makes an attempt to attack the spellcaster. "Nice work, gentleman!" she calls out as a piece of wood rises from the floor and flies toward Ralthiss.

A - True Strike
AA - telekinetic projectile

Attack - Roll 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Attack - Roll 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Fear provides additional intensity to Ryiah's fiddle music as she sees Brayka take a brutal blow. The song changes tune again and this time Brayka feels the music reinvigorate and heal him.

"I'm spent! That's all the healing I can do!"

A - maintain Inspire Courage
AA - Soothe on Brayka

Soothe on Brayka: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Plus +2 status bonus to saves vs mental effects for 1 minutes.

Are we supposed to be just directing Larraz or actually controlling him?

Don't forget that you guys get +1 to attack and damage from inspire courage!

Ryiah continues to play, changing the tune of her song slightly. Darg feels a rush of energy flow into him. She has no interest in getting in the thick of things and remains on the stairs at a safe distance.

Heal from Soothe (Darg): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

A - Continue Inspire Courage - +1 to attack, damage and save vs. fear(status bonus)
AA - Soothe - Darg heals 11 and gets +2 to saves vs. mental effects (also status bonus)

I'm confused about Darg's HP. Is he at 24 or 29? Assuming he cannot use shield block, it seems he should be down another 5, right? If he's at 24 and no one else heals, Ryiah probably will next turn.

Ryiah struggles to place her side of the statue on the ground without dropping it on her - or Nenyath's - foot. She then starts playing a rousing fiddle song to keep up everyone's spirits in this dark place.

Athletics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
AA - gently lay down statue
A - Inspire Courage

I totally understand the benefit of doing this botting tree, but unfortunately, my life is crazy right now and I can barely keep up with the three games I am in with my own characters. I just can't commit to posting for another player as well. Sorry I can't help.

"Unh...outside...I...think?....oof."

Ryiah can help as well if needed, though her strength is nothing impressive.

Her healing spell is soothe which does 1d10+4 healing as well as boosts saves for 1 minute, so I think it gets it's best utility when people are moderately injured and in battle.

Ryiah grimaces as her companions kill off the centipedes and get splashed with their innards. Good thing I don't have to get right up close like that! She sings to inspire them in battle and flings about loose bits of broken furniture to aid in the fight.

Recall knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Ryiah pockets the holy water. "That plan works for me. Does anyone need healing before we do this?"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Ryiah helps Darg search the room. "I hope so. I have had more than enough of this place. The sooner we leave, the better!

She is just going to keep searching each room for now.

Ryiah takes the sword carefully. "Oh, yes, it does match my boots! How right you are, Brayka!" The mood of the other two, brightens Ryiah's mood a bit. Nothing horrible has happened for a bit...maybe they will get out of here alive!

She studies the sword, then shrugs. "No idea what's up with this sword. Darg, I can heal you if you need it, but it might be overpowered for what you've got going on right now. I think Larraz went outside to see Desert Wind."

She will follow the others upstairs. She will continue to search at +5

Ryiah peers down at Darg and Brayka, trying not to get too close. "That's a nice looking sword. I bet Larraz could identify it." She glances back towards the door. "Do you think we should have let him go out there alone?"

Society check +5

Do we need to check that area? I say we just move on. We can reinspect it if we still having missing Pathfinders after searching the rest of the building.

Ryiah aids in searching each room they enter. She's as systematic as possible, wanting to avoid wasting time by having multiple people search the same area more than once. They are looking for bodies after all. Whether living or dead, the shouldn't be hard to miss!

Perception +5

Ryiah draws her rapier as Darg kicks the couch out of the way. She raises her arm, ready to strike this horrifying creature, when she suddenly realizes he's not an undead monster, or some other equally horrid creature. She quickly lowers her sword.

"Wait, wait, wait! We're not hear to hurt you! We're friends! We didn't think any of you were still alive. We are fellow Pathfinders!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Ryiah pulls out her notes and quickly reads through them. "I think this must be Bryrigar...I am rapidly losing hope that any of the Pathfinders remain alive. Shall we continue to search? I hope we can finish in time to leave.

Ryiah will Search the areas they are moving through. +5 modifier.

Ryiah tentatively examines the body, trying to figure out if it matches anyone in any of their descriptions.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

@Watery Soup - Thank you! I am sorry - I will post in the discussion group with an update.

@Everyone else - I am sorry for being so absent. My daughter continues to be quite sick and I just can't keep up. I will post if/when I can. I haven't read the gameplay posts yet, so I'm not sure where we are at. I will try to check later today.

"Is there another entrance they are likely to come in? I would think they'd come to the front door. Maybe we can barricade it in a way that we can clear easily if needed? I agree with Darg that we'll need to slow them down if they come here. Maybe if we are fast enough, we can search this building and flee before they arrive."

"Do you think we can defend this place? Maybe hole up in a room and hide? They might not even find us - I don't know how hard they'd search. I think we still have some time to check out the building before they arrive, at any rate. But maybe we should wait for Nenyath and Darg."

Society: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

When they come across an intact painting, Ryiah studies it carefully, trying to figure out if the woman matches the description of anyone familiar.

Ryiah waits for Brayka to return with the animals, then turns and heads into the building with the others. She's glad she didn't have to use her healing just yet - they will likely need it yet today.

My daughter has been having some serious health problems and is probably going to be hospitalized. I keep hoping things are going to ease up, but they haven't and it doesn't look like they will any time soon. I will post when I can,but half the time I sit down to make a post, I get interuppted part way through, and half the time I just don't have it in me. I apologize.

Recall Knowledge (bardic lore): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Retrying, but don't we already know what kind of poison it is? From the centipedes? Does identifying it further give us some kind of bonus?

I couldn't get on for a long time on Friday. Hopefully they've got it fixed now!

Ryiah can cast soothe, but he's pretty close to full right now, so she is waiting for the moment.

I think someone trained in medicine can try to neutralize the poison. I don't have medicine either. Outside if magic, I am not sure we have any other options unless someone has a way to boost a fort save.

Ryiah gives Darg a frightened look. "Oh, uh, no...I...don't know. I don't know what we can do. I can help with some of the basic cuts and bruises, but I don't think that's really what they need right now. I don't know what to do about the poison."

She looks at Nenyath. "Do you know? How can we help you?" She reaches out tentatively and places a hand on their shoulder.

Ryiah looks around to see how close the approaching undead are and also to see if she can still see Desert Wind or Plum.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Oh dear, sending positive energy your way, hoping he is well and you are doing OK.

Thank you! Likely he is okay, we're just being careful. But either way I am on my own for at least a few days!

My husband is quarantined right now which means I am basically a single mom. I can handle posting for myself right now, but am otherwise maxed out, so I won't be able to help with botting. I apologize!

Ryiah continues to play and a board from the ceiling collapse lifts from the floor and flies at the scorpion in front of Darg.

Maintain Inspire Courage and cast Telekinetic Projectile

Projectile on Yellow Scorpion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

what does inspire courage do again?

+1 to attack, damage and saves vs fear.

re-rolling my DMG 1 as i put in wrong numbers

[dice=damage 1 fix]1d6+4

Don't forget your bonuses from Inspire Courage!

Ryiah rushes up the stairs and begins to play a rousing tune. She looks at the creatures in disgust.

Recall Knowledge (Bardic lore): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

I have heard of these things! "Be careful! They are poisonous!"

Inspire Courage for everyone. +1 to attacks, damage, and saves vs. fear

I put Desert Wind and Plum on the map as well, since she's supposed to be holding them. I'm also going to switch her over to Scout. I wanted to do avoid notice, but I'm not sure how much sense that makes given that she is standing next to two large animals!

Ryiah quickly waters the animals at the well, then brings them to the base of the staircase, waiting tensely for Brayka to return.

Going to use the "Rule of Two" to advance the plot. That is, if two players clearly suggest the same plan, that will trigger me posting as if the whole party decided to move forward with it.

Let me know if this is agreeable?

That is fine with me!

Ryiah also awaits Brayka's report. If they get the all clear to go in, she will enter - bringing both Plum and Desert Wind with her if possible. She will also cast light as soon as they are inside so that everyone can see.
