<p><span class=messageboard-ooc> Edit: I don't mean to whine too much, but da book says I should play this encounter with all my skill and I have failed in that respect, messing up Bestow Curse, Protection from Good, and misremembering that Channel Negative doesn't heal even if you have Death's Kiss, misremembering that the high priest doesn't even need Death's Kiss (he has a more powerful version as a class feature always on)... the upshot is that I've wasted what feels like half of the baddies' turns. </span> </blockquote><p>In my opinion, you are being WAY to hard on yourself. First of all, it is YOUR game and you can run it how you see fit. You've already deviated from Frog God's story numerous times, much to our enjoyment. We appreciate that you do run it, and we appreciate how you run it.
<p>And staying true to the rules is a burden on all of us at this level of play. It is why we double check things like hit point totals as we go. In some ways, it breaks in our favor. In other ways, it breaks against us. For example, I should have asked if the clerics had a way to see me when invisible so they could target me with the hold person spells. I don't think any of us are so obsessed with perfectly following the rules that it is a problem. </p>
<p>If there is one thing that seems to be missing in the fight, it is some of the great color you provide. I was expecting some taunting, some threats, even some hard core monologuing! Please, have more fun with it and a little less worry about "running it right". If we all have fun, then you're running it right. Just my 2 cp.</p>GM Parrot wrote: Ok, finally getting back to this.

I mean, I have plans for Trag up to level 20, but I know its a lot easier as a player than a GM in PF1.
I like your storytelling, GM. And I like the players and characters. But if you want to start running something different, I'd be game too. My interests are running more towards 53 than PF2e, but I'd be willing to see what you decide.Tragershen (alias of markofbane)2022-03-17T04:57:22ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: GM Parrot's the Ferry and the Depths: Rappan AthukTragershen (alias of markofbane)https://paizo.com/campaigns/GMParrotsTheFerryAndTheDepthsRappanAthuk/gameplay&page=154#76542022-03-11T05:10:07Z2022-03-11T05:10:07Z<p>Tragershen mutters <b>"Rust monsters.

Next time we go to civilization, I might have a relatively cheap answer to your communications problem. </p>
<p>I can craft an item that gives you a competence bonus in Linguistics. For each rank it effectively gives you, it would give you a language. </p>
<p>The cost would be:
<br />
+1 linguistics = 1•1•100 = 100 gp, so 50 gp to craft.
<br />
+2 linguistics = 2•2•100 = 400 gp, so 200 gp to craft.
<br />
+5 linguistics = 5•5•100 = 2500 gp, so 1250 gp to craft. </p>
<p>+5 could give you celestial and the four languages of the elementals. </p>
<p>The costs above assume they use a slot. I'd say maybe head, like a little circlet or skullcap? Double the cost to make it slotless.</p>Hey Terapin. Next time we go to civilization, I might have a relatively cheap answer to your communications problem.
