Overheard in Bonekeep...


Pathfinder Society

Liberty's Edge 2/5

Well, in our Bonekeep 2 run tonight...

During a fight with a particular group of critters;

Barbarian: Can I full attack my face?
GM: (nods)
Barbarian: I would like to full attack my face.
(rolls to hit)
GM: You will miss your face.

Good times, good times...

Scarab Sages

Does this Barbarian happen to have a drinking problem?

Dataphiles 3/5

Ah fun times. I have such great memories of attacking my own face... and those of my party members. Sometimes you walk a fine line with the no pvp rules with that critter.

Barbarian gives a grin statement about how they're all going to die.

gnome cleric of the lantern king "well aren't you just a ball of sunshine

Second room, barbarian dies.

Cleric winds up tanking, 5 foot stepping onto the barbarians corpse

"I'm walking on sunshine, Oh oh oh..."


And as a surprise to us all, everyone in the party lived left the dungeon alive.

4/5 5/5

"It's okay, guys, I only stabilize on a 20."

Seconds later:

"OH MY GOD I ROLLED THE DAMN 20 HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN"

Sovereign Court 1/5

My group cleared one of the battles in Bonekeep 2 in a single action.

Fire Kineticist used his fiery blasty thingy without any knowledge of the overall situation. Killed all 3 enemies, and our Hunter's animal companion by accident.

A couple rounds into that same fight;

Player: OK, describe for me exactly where those critters are positioned right now. Like, in relation to the party members.
GM: (explains)
Player: I color spray my entire party.

Sovereign Court

Ok from someone who knows absolutely nothing about Bonekeep...

What the in the world was being smoked when this was written?

Shadow Lodge 4/5

Imagine what happens when the party gets covered in swarms and the blaster just nukes the parties position.

It was like that but ten times worse.

1/5

"Reflex save? That's easy, I can only fail on a 1."

Reflex: 1 = 1

Collective groan as the Chain Lightning goes off.

Dark Archive 4/5

Weak chaff under my Hyborian mettle.

*archs over with pain*

Ah, not their master though. I'm told they spent weeks picking up my remains.

5/5 *****

I had that today in Bonekeep 2. Seelah on single digit HP facing her own face smash.

5/5 5/55/55/5

A lot of this

2/5

"That's okay, those are just hit points."
Said after Necklace nuking that same room after high Knowledge check terrifies us all. The tactic put most every PC at threat of death except my evading Monk who got to pound a face, rather than faces.

Meanwhile, another table ended there. Painfully.

This was after our group's run on Bonekeep 2 where

Spoiler for Bonekeep 2:
My hellknight took the full charged necklace of Fireballs from the ogre fight. Upon opening the door to the final room, he took one look inside, tossed the necklace at the BBEG's feet, and then the Alchemist tossed a bomb detonating it, for a 52d6 fireball which vaporized everything in the room.

This is our debriefing with Kreighton Shane:

Shane: So? How'd it go? Did you find anything we can use to our advantage?

Hellknight: I suppose you could say that; we found out what these creatures are vulnerable to.

Shane: Really?! What's that?

Hellknight: Point-Blank Annihilation.

Sczarni 3/5

"What do you mean you can't penetrate your own animal companion's spell resistance??"

That day I found out why GMs collectively hated my celestial dire tiger. I also can't stop picturing a team of pathfinders digging through tiger excrements to recover my body.

Shadow Lodge 4/5

Annnd I forgot about the necklace. Would've saved our bacon.

Grand Lodge 4/5

Oddly enough, it only explodes if a creature carrying it fails the save. It says nothing about exploding when subject to fire. Still, I'd allow it.

4/5 *

Out of the mouth of my high AC dwarven ranger, "Bite me."

<GM rolls a few dice>

"This one successfully bites you, and is now on your face."

<I roll a couple dice>

"Son of a ... I break the grapple and punt it."

Scarab Sages 5/5 5/55/55/5

Hmm, that would be neat.

GM: "Tell me what your character's fears are."
Player: "Spiders, ghosts, clowns, and Unicycles... Lets see you work that together."
GM: "You catch sight of a spider riding quickly across the ceiling on a unicycle, as it approaches you notice it has some crazy facepaint on along with a fake red nose... it jumps down onto your shoulder and as you're paralyzed with fear it looks you in the eyes and says "Boo!". You drop dead."

Sounds like someone dared to challenge you to some great hilarity.
