I hope to be able to get us going this weekend. This last week before winter break has been a bit busier than I expected.

I imagine this one isn't going to move too quickly until January ;) lots of festivities!
Wonder what sort of festivities a bunch of kitsune might observe in midwinter?

Given it was 111 degrees here the other day (44 celsius) I think they may be swimming or perhaps going to fur trims.

Lol Australia is getting whooped by the heat right now! That's insane, levels of heat. Here in London, we've just got rain (to the surprise of literally nobody...).

Virginia over here has been maintaining at a steady 40 degrees, give or take. Very mild!

I'm back in the uk for Christmas - yup, it's wet. So's Belgium. I wonder if wet fox smells like wet dog ;p
(I'm not near London - my family is in the west midlands).

Wait a minute, there is more to the UK than London? We may need to double check that. Lol.
Actually, I had time to visit Oban a few years ago now. I love it there.

I just want to afford everyone the opportunity to check in before your head to Riddleport. Given the holidays, I am not in a real rush to push. If we gets some posts in over the weekend, great. If not, I will move ahead Monday at the latest.

I have had some personal issues that have made the last few days/weeks difficult. Finding the motivation to log in to the forums has been tough. Hopefully I will be back on track soon.

Went with a DC 10 for the door (equal parts improved cover, concealment, small target/hard to see him, and the Rule of 50/50), plus soft cover {Toshiko's head} (+2). It sounded fair and doable in my mind. Open to conversation about it.

No disagreement here, just curious how other GM's make rulings! Thanks! :) I find every GM has their own way of going about niche/spontaneous events and I like to know why for when I'm in the same situation!

It was a pretty good ruling on an abstract situation that I can't find any specific rules about, even searching quite a bit through the nightmare that is the rules forums. I'd say perception was an excellent skill to use to determine if the caster can get enough of a glimpse to target a spell like that.
Plus let's be honest, how many times does charm person EVER ACTUALLY WORK so it was wonderful you allowed a chance at it.
I'd still be incredibly surprised if we avoid combat but getting the door open and most everyone moved inside is a significant improvement.

Haha I'm going to try milking it for all that it's worth! Doing my best to keep everything factual and avoid outright lying, but I am curious to know how Kenta feels about all this. Itami will be asking in person after this resolves too btw. Family gets to have input on how he operates ;) AFAIK, Itami hasn't lied although the goal of deception is still there.

I had a decently written out post in response to your question about how Kenta feels, but I think I'll just stick to doling it out in game. :D

I admit that I am unclear on the mechanics. Is all the growing and shrinking done as a free action or swift action (or some combination thereof).

Swift action to grow, shrinking is Not An Action—we automatically shrink back at the beginning of our next turn.

Do you wish us to go ahead and make our 'get on the ship' plans and/or set of checks too?

...anyone have a grappling hook or are we about to struggle bus through these climb checks?

I'm beginning to suspect that no one has a grappling hook.
How high up is it?

No worries, what is the issue? Some of the pdf’s have terrible maps. Have to get really creative.
| Templates | Master of the Fallen Fortress | | Knowledge questions |
Yep. Pulling it from the pdf. The other maps were fine. I realized last night that I forgot this particular one. Found something about the right size, but no 5' squares.
| Templates | Master of the Fallen Fortress | | Knowledge questions |
Alright, with a little help from GIMP, I have a work around. Map is updated.

Go ahead and place yourselves in the lil' boat (anywhere in the white box).
Don't forget, you are free to make a completely optional and non-required Stealth check.

Lookin' good!
So how high up is it? Theoretically, me or Ikari could grow, lift up one of our companions (we're 10' with 10' reach, so that's 20'), and have them lower the rope.
Of course, whether the boat can hold an 11' kitsune plus 4 others is... questionable.
| Templates | Master of the Fallen Fortress | | Knowledge questions |
From the spell description: doubling its height and multiplying its weight by 8
The lil' boat you are in now would sink before you attained your full height.

Of course it was. Great solution. Maybe you should find out how Godzilla stood in the ocean in the movie. It might be totally useful right now.

Actually if one of us, or Kenta, just gets on to the side or the anchor chain then I can make them grow in situ with spell or with Growth power. Would that work?
Btw we should attempt stealth i think ;)

Kenta is good with the suggestion to climb the anchor, though the growth thing may not be necessary until he makes it up to the top. I suggest we tie a rope around his waist as well to provide a second route up once he is on the ship.
I'm going to throw out his stealth check -4 for the jangly chain and then spoiler a climb check just in case we come up with another plan in the meantime.
I really wish I had sunk money into a monkey-fish potion. Just so much to buy and so little cash at low levels. I was probably dumb getting the +1 cloak of resistance this early.
