Have loads of fun!
Cheers!
To all: So a few days ago I had a medical issue; I was unable to post in any of my games (and really, even be on social media in general) as with the meds I was really out of it.
I thought I made a note of that on this board, too, but it turns out I did not for some reason. I apologize for that as I don't like leaving you guys hanging.
Anyway, I am back and I'm sorry for my absence. I will try to get something up later tonight.
So sorry again for the delay; I will do my best to have something up later today or - at most - tonight.
How is your health now Dain? I, and I expect the rest of us, hope the medical issues have ended. Take care.
Yea. If you need a few days off, please take it.
Thank you Bjeorn and Red; I appreciate your understanding.
It’s a very busy weekend and I have guests staying over. I won’t be able to post until late tomorrow night. Bjoern, I’ll reply to you then. Sorry for the hold up.
I’ve hurt my back and leg rather seriously. Sitting at a comp is not comfortable nor recommended, so I won’t be on the boards for the rest of the week. I’ll be back to posting on my Sunday (your Saturday). Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you for letting us know, Tairin and I hope everything is okay.
Meanwhile, I will find someone to bot you in your absence; failing that, I will take of it.
See you Saturday and I hope you get better soon!
That sounds very rough Dain. I hope things are better for you now.
Tairin, good luck in your recovery.
Sympathies Tairin and I hope you recover soon.
@Dain: Have Caslav and Farrokh followed Patenemheb or alternatively given any indication that they won't? That would affect Patenemheb's planning.

My apologies; they have followed you - I have updated the map accordingly.
Dain- Our enemies seem not to be noticing Ala and Samir.
Can we, particularly Red, see all of our enemies without making perception rolls.
All- I count 18 enemies on the map, and there are some more still in the tents. This could get real ugly.
The only alternative I see to fighting is the rest of us doing nothing hostile and let Ala and Samir flee on their camels. But it is not much of an alternative. Those 2 might get killed and even if they manage to flee the Zadjites may well attack us anyway.
Tairin can whisper a message via her Message spell which has a 120 ft range. She’d have to kind of know where Samir is to point in his direction, but it can be an option as Tairin’s stealth is pretty good for being sneaky/quiet/discreet.
Just a suggestion for anyone botting Tairin as I’m still off the boards until my Sunday (your Saturday). Thanks. :)

You can those who are not in tents as they have increased the firelight quite a bit compensate.
You won't be able to see the one's south of LINE M without a Perception check as there's trees blocking you.
For what it's worth, Ala already dropped 3 of them, though.
]Since they haven't seen us, the other option is we fade back to camp and act like nothing ever happened...
Of course if we were going to do that we would have to communicate it to Samir somehow...
They've seen you; some of them have - at the least the one you killed has.
You could communicate with Samir - the question is; will he listen if you do? Only time will tell...

It could be done; but Samir is currently hidden via Stealth, so that may not work yet.
At this point I'm botting Tairin; I hope that's alright.
Meanwhile, I had her inform her companions that she overheard the Zadjites planning to spend their evening eating/celebrating/drinking some event. This detail - coupled with many of the guard's slow response times - makes her believe that the majority of the guards and (more probably) the Zadjites themselves may be fighting while intoxicated - so that could be useful.
Rest up and I hope you feel better soon :)

Having considered all aspects of the situation carefully and given due weight to the fact this is Pathfinder, I conclude we should kill them all and let their respective deities sort them out.
I certainly have. In The Way of the Wicked my character Blood Eagled a whole ship's crew.
Ah, blood eagles. They are referred to in a few places in the sagas, but it's not entirely clear if they were actually practiced or a literary device. Either way, it's a truly gruesome method of killing.
I've had evil characters before, if not many.
Such as the water genasi who was a devout follower of Umberlee, the sea b&!@$ from Forgotten Realms. One of his favourite moves was to rush a random person who happened to be near the water and throw both him and them into the sea.
Water genasi can breathe underwater: he just had to wait.
Once done, the GM and rest of the players assumed I was looting them. Then I told them:
"Not a chance. That's all for Umberlee!"
A combination of piety and fear of wrath. ;)
"Vikings" is excellent imho. It has sometimes been the best thing on Australian free to air TV. Not that there is a lot of competition. It has both of the elements of good TV, sex and violence, in large amounts.
As for blood eagles, I have little trouble believing it really happened. Human beings have definitely done many other things that are equally unpleasant to each other. It must be difficult to blood eagle someone properly, not killing them early in the process which kind of deprives it of it's point.
I am playing a character in another online campaign who blood eagled an Imp. That requires delicacy.
hey Dain GM, I thought I would ask over here, I realize Samir is over 50 ft from the fire. Can Ala'Ihys see the fight going on over there? I want to shoot at the one he already injured, but I don't want to try and do the impossible. What kind of concealment would the two guards attacking Samir get?
You can see him much clearer now as at least three of the Zadjite guys from the fire have moved down carrying burning branches with them.
I'll adjust the map to include the 30 foot of normal lighting (I'll let the additional 30 feet out at Dim Lighting be something to figure out as it's hard to do so much on the combat map).
ok so 20% concealment, I will roll that as well, BRB
Wait - no - the lighting in the yellow circle is normal light via the Torches; you shouldn't need the 20% chance (depending on your target).
Dain- Just a reminder, I believe you haven't rolled the saves for the people I Glitterdusted last round. Not sure if you forgot, but still.
I’ll be posting from today, so I will not require Tairin to be botted anymore. I will need to catch up on all the posts I’ve missed this week and figure out what the GM had in plan by moving Tairin in the fashion that he has. Thanks for the bot this past week, Dain GM.
Good to have you back with us Ariarh.

Welcome back, Tairin.
For now I had you move up using Stealth to analyze the situation so you could have a better understanding on what's going on - in short; you're in the trees and hidden and have not acted - yet - so the enemy likely doesn't notice you.
You're in a forward position so you could be close to the action to make the best decision for combat, but also in a position that doesn't compromise your safety if you're not eager to charge forward.
Thanks, Patenemheb.
And, thanks for the rundown of the situation with Tairin, Dain GM.
Good to have you back Tairin. Fully recovered I hope. :)
Almost there, Red. Thanks. :)
@Dain: I'm finding the pace fine.
@Dain: I'm finding the pace fine.
Thanks for the support, Paten, I really appreciate it :)
A courtesy heads-up: We have relatives visiting from Ireland. We are headed up to the mountains on my Friday morning (the 27th) for a 'Christmas in July' getaway and won't be back until late Sunday afternoon (on the 29th here in Oz). I will not be on the boards or posting over this 3 day period. (Converting this to northern hemisphere time zone: I will be away from the boards from your Thursday to Saturday, 26th to 28th July).
Patenemheb, if you're available to post and Tairin needs to act, can you please bot her over this period? I will have time to post until I leave for the trip, so no worries there.
Thanks kindly. :)
Have fun Tairin. I am sure Santa knows you have been good. :)
And Ala- thanks for the assist in game. Red can do a number of things, caster, healer, poor man's skill monkey or face, but melee combatant is not one of them.
Thanks, Ala’lhys and Red. No cookies as my niece and her husband are taking care of the baked goods. :) Good luck with camping in the rain, Ala’lhys.
Tairin also attacked the Zadjite attacking Red. Not just Ala’lhys. :P
Enjoy your trip, Ariarh!
Thanks, Dain.
As to the slumbering enemy: The slumber hex only lasts 3 rounds (equal to the witch's level) or until roused, so we better think of something to do to make sure they don't get back up and continue to fight us. Either we tie them up or we try to kill them/finish them off... Shrugs. Just something to think on.
Have fun you all in your retreats!
Thanks, Bear! :)
Enjoy your weekend Tairin!
I will be away myself, but should be able to check posts at some stage over the weekend.
No worries. If needs be the GM can bot Tairin if you aren’t able to over the weekend.
Thanks! Enjoy your own weekend, Patenemheb. :)
