Yea I have it so its either swirly for 5 minutes. Fails to connect to the sight or takes 5 mins to even show its loading. Once in awhile it acts like a website

As for color I like bolding npcs or using grey and such depending.


Also everyone IC is up have it linked to first thread as well

[Metastachydium]

I managed to post! I MANAGED TO POST!

[RaiKirah]

Wow, that took 10 minutes to get a post through. Here we go though!

[Forsaken]

lol it seems like everyone is having that posting lag. I remember once I reposted like 5 times in a row and had to remove them (happened in recruitment xD)

[Forsaken]

IC updated lol. Nice nat 1 for diplomacy. I'll just treat that as a shakedown xD

[Forsaken]

Got ninjaed lol if you guys want to do any prepwork before leaving feel free to discuss it in ooc I'll reflect it in ic any questions as well feel free to shoot

[Darius Vibrtrar]

IF we have a wizard, I will need a grease spell. Just in case, lol jk

[DeTess]

The wagon might be a good idea if we can get one quickly. Otherwise it'd be better not to bother.

[Dakrsidder]

Not a wizard, but I do have a grease sla prepared

Honestly, a wagon might not be the greatest idea. The roads, assuming there were any, are likely in bad condition and it could be a drag in a run away situation, but can still try

[Forsaken]

The wagon might be a good idea if we can get one quickly. Otherwise it'd be better not to bother.

You can try but it will take them some time as the mayor is just expecting a quick rescue and march not liike you guys going to the next town over or transporting goods.

You are correct roads conditions arent the best also when we get some more pcs replies I was going to post that the onkier nose is leading more towards the forest brush isnt to dense right by the walls but to get a wagon through you will be slightly hard press and it will take a bit more time.

[DeTess]

Allright, sounds like the wagon is a no-go then

[tonberryking]

I suppose I won't need my own horse?

[Forsaken]

I suppose I won't need my own horse?

its useful but in this case you might want to hold off bringing it with you. But up to you might help it might not:smallwink:

[zlefin]

I was confused because I didn't realize everyone got in, so I spent awhile looking around to try to figure out what was happening. 8 players is a lot to work with, but at least we've got a buffer to account for afk'ers.

I fixed the requests minor issues with the sheet.
As to color

I'll try Maroon, and if it looks ok I'll go with that.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

And then suddenly Porky smells somthing, breaking into a sprint. Going...... 160 ft a round PIGGY FLY FAST!

[Forsaken]

New IC is up. What do you guys wanna do? The bloody smell is pretty dense you can easily tell its from a few bodies. well maybe not porky he probably knows its alot though :smalleek:

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Porky will carry anyone not fast enough to keep up! But time to go "normal speed" maybe well go "double march" of 80!!!

[RaiKirah]

I seem to have messed up my Listen roll, so here's a new one:

Listen: [roll0]

Also, with Fire Bound Cyndred has a move speed of 40' and so can keep up with Porky.

[Dakrsidder]

[roll0] Spot
[roll1] Listen
Rolling just in case

[tonberryking]

Jeez... Loba rolled extremely well for sneaking up on this situation. If we're about to fight a monster they're gonna be unpleasantly surprised.

[Forsaken]

Ninjaed again! lol


Maynard will keep with the accelerated pace as best he can. (rules-wise I think this means using hustle 1/3 of the time to maintain a 40' pace).

When the branching footsteps occur:
Perhaps some of us should branch off to see if any of the other guards might be found, but splitting is risky, and we can't afford to have too many groups, even separating at all carries risk. Since we do not all move at the same pace, perhaps the faster could search for the captain, while the rest search for other guards, who're likely to not have gotten as far.


[how hard to track are the other branches? is it possible to follow them at all without a proper tracker?]

Tracking the guards and the captain are splitting up shortly if you continue following the trails the guards seem to break off. You can tell that the guards are trying to catch up to their captain clearly, he left without asking for support, but these guardsmen choose to chase after him. Struggling to catch up. Clearly fighting and pushing forward at night wasn't there greatest of choices.


A few mobs of chained devils are the ones who are dead. Guards ftw! even if they have a bunch that died...:smallredface:

[Dakrsidder]

With the new information I’ll get close enough to make a knowledge check for the devils, but are they the same as in the books or are there homebrewed tweaks? Asking as you just mentioned Chain Devils, which have regen, implying the guards had weapons that bypass it.

[roll0] Planes

[zlefin]

I forget from the loredump in the OP, do we have to take action to avoid undead? or is it solely about anti-devil stuff? ie is there a standard practice for protecting dead bodies from misuse that we need to do on the guards? Such a thing would surely be common knowledge.

[roll0] Planes

These ones are the standard ones. You do notice the guards weapons are of silver make. With how high you rolled you do notice some empty bottles on the battlefield. Reading them says demonsbane which stops them from regenerating. It leaves a white film on the bodies of successfully targeted creatures.

Some of you noticed the white film on all of them. Implying they were properly disposed of.

Nope undead is a real thing. From your standard knowledge you know people only turn undead when night occurs. Due to the guards more dangerous profession they have amulets of undeath equipped as part of their standard gear preventing becoming undead. Probably why they have still been left there for now. But you also know that the amulets only last about a week without the village totems presence.


Great questions lol

[Darius Vibrtrar]

I guess porky is gonna grab the biggest silver weapon he can see cause..... maybe devil meat is poisonous. Whats the biggest one, also..... thinking.about grabbing some of them chains, is that possible?

[Forsaken]

Yep I posted ic the weapons you found. the chains are metal mainly some are barbed so just be careful handling those ones. Non poisonous but rolling or similar actions might not be the best. Biggest silver weapon is the greatsword.


Also I check ooc before ic sorry if it causes delay

New ic up


edit darius how much chains are you grabbing? the chains are only about 10ft-25ft and there is like alot of them xD

[Dakrsidder]

Ah, managed to kill this many cr 6 monsters danm

Oop ninja’ed

Yep guards are pretty strong thats why its basically suicide to man the walls at this point. Or go out and search for them like who would be crazy enough to do that? :smallbiggrin:


You manage to find [roll0] vials of demonbane and [roll1] deathsbane (effective on repelling undead equal to 1d10hd.

[Dakrsidder]

At least it’s not one of the ones with strong slas I suppose

Noted

Also I don’t see how Cyndred would know about the guards in the cave. The only ones who were mentioned to have the knowledge are Porky and Ja, but neither of them actually said anything about the guards

I would just assume as nobody knows for sure its just like an 80% likelihood that they're there. Corpses+trail of blood lol. but who knows :smallbiggrin:

I'll wait for some more ic posts to figure out which way you guys are deciding to go. If this info is useful at all you should know that they're roughly 20-25 guards left unaccounted for.

[Auranghzeb]

I can squeeze one post but Can’t post anymore tonight.

That's a decent point - I'll take Foresaken's explanation and then pay more attention in the future, sorry about that

[Forsaken]

Oh i'm just going to throw this out there but you don't have to follow the group decision if you don't want to. Like if two people want to explore the guard cave and the rest moves on that's fine. But all I ask is if you get in over your head be careful. I like giving my players freedom but if you use that freedom to go into either an impossible situation I cant really stop you from dying lol. I can always regroup you guys so you dont have to feel forced to go one way or another. Its an open world have fun and go with what you feel. :smallsmile:

That said the above paragraph isn't metagaming your current area or anything just a general statement. Since its a decent split I could have said it when deciding to either guard the wall or pursue the captain and or the guards but feels slightly more appropriate now.

[RaiKirah]

Good to know, but I think I'll hold off on splitting the party until slightly farther into the story :P

[Dakrsidder]

Fair enough, I just mentioned it, as I probably would've considered it too if I'd known

[Forsaken]

Is maynard splitting up in search of his own? You said he is going to follow porky's trail after exploring all locations?

[zlefin]

no, I was merely mentioning the possibility, Maynard is sticking with the group, unless the group agrees to a plan to split up.

Iirc we're supposed to do die rolls in this thread, right? I feel there may be some other details of play that were supposed to happen in this thread that I'm forgetting.

rolling my knowledges to see if I know anything about the pit.

I like rolls that can impact your ic rp in here so you can describe it better. Like if you rolled a 3 to attack and you know your going to miss you can describe it

from your knowledge the hole looks just like a normal hole. But the chills you can tell maybe of undead creatures. Not as much demonic

[Dakrsidder]

[roll0] Spot hopefully high enough to find something new about whatever is in the cave

[Forsaken]

Kinda sad all them voices trying to help but only one guy hears it. lol.. especially since there are so many spirits calling out. That must be so loud :smalleek::smalleek::smalleek:

[zlefin]

if I'm reading right, I get a one round stun, and I might be able to tell more if I keep concentrating despite that and accept a longer penalty. I choose to just take the one round stun then; but if I misunderstood what you were trying to say, and faint, then let me know so I can adjust the IC post accordingly.

Correct. Its like suddenly getting pricked with a sharp needle. You recoil in shock to protect yourself but if you focus you can push yourself to push against the needle even if it can cause further harm. Thats generally how I see it

[Dakrsidder]

Something like a cafeteria or stadium I’d assume

Also if and when I have enough details to make a check, would a planes check be valid? Asking solely based on the demonic comment

[Forsaken]

Its a pit then a tunnel leading further in. Also if you listen further to the ghosts you can tell that they're souls are bound to their undead forms. A weird combination but implies that maybe the demonic ghost at the end has some magical abilities.

(Sorry if I wasnt making it clearer.)

As for the check I feel in this situation you are literally getting a bunch of info from the ghosts so you dont need much since they are feeding you the details you can freely tell they are trying to help but they know your party isnt able to hear them well besides one xD

[Dakrsidder]

Nono, I mean I assume it’s noisy in the same way a full cafeteria or stadium is a blur of loud noises got that the location is a pit-tunnel. Ah, noted

Oh, not going to complain about free information

Porky too thick to hear ghosts?

only ekkerhardt due to his perk. some spells might be able to do the same thing but for the rest of the party currently they just hear eerie silence

[RaiKirah]

Does Cyndred hear anything? I assumed not, but thought I would check.

[Forsaken]

Nope just silence. A bit of OOC undead creepies dont have anything alive next to them so silence is pretty common lol. Nice transition and use of perk though lol enjoyed seeing it or reading it in this case :smallbiggrin:

edit

roughly 15 bodies lay redead on the ground inside. if you guys inspect them you can tell they were warped with some kind of undead magic. As normal undead don't get reannimated stronger then how they were alive.

[DeTess]

Right, should have mentioned invis more prominently, but it was situational enough I didn't want to include it in the roll.

Rolling for transforming back once I reach the rest again.

[Forsaken]

Ah the ghosts meant the captain was the blademaster. He has a perk related to the sword and it makes his strikes pretty dang powerful. These ghosts don't know that he is the captain so they called him either swordsman or blade master. My bad for any confusion

[Dakrsidder]

Yeah, that was my assumption. I meant Eria said, “the captain probably came through in a hurry and didn’t finish the job," which would imply he wasn’t around. Contradicts the ghosts’ talking as though he were still fighting, so there’s a bit of confusion; perhaps he fell in battle a few moments ago; no clue yet.

Ah gotcha. You can probably pick up enough to tell he is still fighting. But not the group of things he cut down while tracking his daughter.

edit if you guys wanna through down with the three undead thingies feel free. Just be careful lol. This world is a bit dangerous and your going to be fighting something a bit harder than what would be normal in this world. But they are heavily wounded so you got a chance. I think by now you guys kinda get how scary this place can be.

[DeTess]

I don't think I spotted any other branches to the path, did I? If so, we would need to get past one way or another, and stealth probably won't work for everyone.

[Dakrsidder]

As in the three ahead, aren't the three the spirits were referring to? They said there were only three left; wasn't mentions of injured undead left over, so I assumed those were the remaining three going to have to edit my post if I misunderstood, and the captain is somewhere further in.

I assume we're going to engage with the undead; can always run away if they end up being too much anyway; more dangerous means more xp

[DeTess]

Assuming we are (am about to turn in for the night so will probably miss the fight's start if we do), I want to do a quick reshuffling of my maneuvers again.

Prepared maneuvers:
burning blade
shadow jaunt
mountain hammer
Counter charge
shadow blade technique

and I'd enter the island of blades stance prior to entering the fight.

[Metastachydium]

I say FIGHT!! (Sorry for the lag in my end; that my free and waking hours align so poorly with everyone else in the thread helps with roleplaying B.'s Unreactive flaw immensely.)

[Forsaken]

A straight path so far. You can try stealth but your right. Not everyone will probably be able to make it. That said you could always try luring them lol. They are injured lowering their abilities by a good chunk

Yep those are the three left that the ghosts are mentioning and the capi tan! further inside.

Yea more danger equals better rewards but also means higher chance of dying lol

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Already, roll initiative? Roll attack? Swing my sword!!!?

[RaiKirah]

Let's do this - Cyndred is going to just run at the encounter. He has impulse control issues, particularly when it comes to fighting :P

[Forsaken]

lol seems the barbarian was the first to charge xD

Init roll enemy [roll0] luckily they arent the fastest and injuries make them a bit harder to move. If you beat there init you get to go first anyone below react after they go. Then after they go its a free for all.

Good luck :smallbiggrin:


edit cyndred vs undead round 1! lol

edit edit so many ninjas with my one post. lol but yep time for combat. buhahaha. I hope nobody gets dropped to quickly. I recommend doing 2 to 1 tactics. :smallbiggrin:

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Barbarians charge forward!

[Forsaken]

Ah whelp after cyndred rolls that would be first round then we should have normal combat it might be better this way but then again they are pretty tough :tongue:

[DeTess]

initiative: [roll0]

[Dakrsidder]

Huh well then the edit wasn’t accurate either, but it’s past that now, so whatever won’t bother editing

Btw at the point where initiative is rolled about what distance would the party be from the undead? Also, about what distance would the undead be from each other? Oh and about how wide is the tunnel

[roll0]

[roll0]

Tunnel opens up a bit two undead are closer to each other. The two standing ones. The crawling one is by itself a bit closer to the entrance. Something like
------xxxxx-----
xxxxxxOxxx-----
xxxxxxxxOxxxxx
xxOxxxxxxxxxxx
---------xxxx------


x's are 5ft o's are the enemies. I dont have access to any good map makers yet sorry.

[RaiKirah]

Initiative: [roll0]

And activating Rage! (on my turn)

[Dakrsidder]

Not a issue good enough for me, although just to be certain, the standing undead aren’t adjacent to each other right? Also can I chuck the vials as splash weapons? If not, I’ll just use grease even if it’ll probably only apply to one

[Forsaken]

they are about 7 feet apart (2 squares) You can chuck them as a splash weapon but the effect is uncertain to you.

[Forsaken]

Undead vs cyndred the nearest target.

Crawler

Jump [roll0]
Bite attack if succeeds he will try and grapple [roll1]
Damage [roll2]
If successful grapple

Twined armed Undead vs its next meal (Porky)

Attack [roll6]
Damage [roll7]
Attack [roll8]

Everyone up feel free to hack them up after my ic with the undead attacks. :smallbiggrin:


edit: whats with me rolling max damage?!?!?!?!?!?

[Dakrsidder]

My initiative was higher than theirs would I still be acting afterwards? If not, getting within 25’ of the closest and instead using entangling ectoplasm. If I go after anyways, I’ll chuck the deathsbane from 20’, so -2

[roll0] touch, if former, target should be flatfooted too

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Porky will activate his rage. And swing on the undead that failed to hit him.

[roll0] to hit

[roll3] crit damage if needed.

The two barbarians said they charged in first so if they beat the init the undead did they get to attack first. They didnt sneak up and tried attacking so wasnt a surprise round after the first round of combat everyone I would have assumed caught up and then engaged. Thats why first round was stranger. Glad it was a touch attack these guy have hella nat armor. but very poor touch. Not 7 poor but pretty poor non the less. The deathsbane missed by a little. sorry as a heads up.

Sorry the story pace or combat pace? If its the story pace no worries. Ive notice some who post slightly slower so we might divi up groups depending and adjust the storyline that way.

Also how I do init basically its only the first round where it matters. In play by post it slows it down a bunch so I normally roll all enemies together and after they go its all pc's then all enemies then all npcs in that order.

[Forsaken]

gonna meta game just so you guys know some base info. there ac is currently 24 touch 9 flat 24 Just to help rping. If you guys dont want this info in the future feel free to let me know and I can keep it private

Also nice crit dont forget to confirm. When we have all pcs actions I'll update ic

Same issue as Metastachydium, My posting time is a bit off with the rest, I come back to the forums and suddenly there are 10 posts. But it's fine.

Noted
Is there a house rule I missed allowing crits on undead, are they not actual undead, or something else?

[Auranghzeb]

Ah, true, undead... dumb me

[zlefin]

I'm a bit confused as to whether I'm still supposed to roll init, or if we're arleady on the round after taht so I shouldn't bother with the 'time travel' required for it. I'll have switched to the silver sword, sheathing my other weapons before going in, as I wouldn't know which properties are best required for what we might face, and bows don't work well in caves. Are the silver swords mw? and/or +1? or anything else? I'm gonna assume just MW for now.

init roll if I'm supposed to.
[roll0]


For the second round, which I'm definitely eligible to act in, I'll try to move to a position where I can help flank one of the undead, if they're flankable at all; I'll prioritize getting an attack in over getting into good flanking position though. Also this may shift a bit depending on whether I'm supposed to hvae a rd1 to work with or not and what the roll is.

attack roll
[roll1]
dmg if hit, assuming sword is mw still

ok, so, I miss, and the init question is moot.

Might pair you guys up together than. I but I dont want to split the group if you guys wouldnt like to as well. A duo campaign is manageable but who knows posting is still gonna be a bit wonky in the earlier stages of the game.

Same lol I was mainly worried about them critting you guys so critting was on my mind as well :smallredface:

Yes they are flankable one is currently hugging and nibbling on someones shoulder :smallredface:

also yep the silver made weps are mw my bad for not stating. You guys got this though! You outnumber them 2 to 1. maybe a tad higher lol.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Are they alchemical silver, meaning they deal -1 damage?

[Forsaken]

Yarp also sorry about thinking mr two armed hit ya. Thought your ac was 19 but forgot you had armor it just wasnt in your slot. lol

[DeTess]

doing some actions and pre-rolling in here so I know how to do the post write up.

note: I'm in the island of blades stance, which means that I'm always flanking any creature that ahs another ally of mine adjacent to it, and allies are always flanking a creature I am adjacent to, no matter the exact positioning.

swift action: burning blade maneuver (adds 1d6+4 fire damage to all attacks this turn)

move action: move up to the two-armed monster

standard action: shadow blade technique.

shadow blade technique allows me to roll twice to hit and pick either roll, dealing bonus damage if I pick the lower one (and still hit)

attack 1: [roll0] (standard bonus is +8, +2 from flanking)
attack 2: [roll1] (standard bonus is +8, +2 from flanking)

damage base: [roll2] (base is 1d8+1, add wis bonus to damage as I'm using a maneuver from my discipline focus school)
damage fire: [roll3]

meneuvers
burning blade
shadow jaunt
mountain hammer
Counter charge
shadow blade technique

edit: welp, that's a miss.

RaKirah: Cyndred gets to have 16 hp back! (Hey, Forsaken, do tell if B. has to use Reach Spell, and I'll deduct the Turn attempts.)

Nah you should be good. Also gotcha. Just trying to make sure you all are enjoying it lol


After Cyndred makes his move round two will offically start...just gonna say the divine healing magic might make undead kinda tempted to eat you...:smallredface:

Oooh, lovely, that helps a lot!

Not sure where we are in the initiative order, but Cyndred will attempt to do the following:

Attack in the grapple: +7 to Hit (+4BAB +6 STR +1 Earth Mastery -4 Grapple) [roll0]
Damage if Hit: 1d3+6 [roll1]

Let me know when I should update in the IC for this round.

So first round is where init matters because after enemies go its all pcs turns again. It just makes it faster if someone ends up dropping an enemy ill just redirect the attacks to another enemy or reclarify if I catch it before the rest post ic.

Okay so cyndred will get an AoO against the undead giving him a tasty hickey as he felt the healing magic and is changing targets.

Porky barely dodging lol. Everyone is back up. Good luck fighting the undead. They arent close enough to be flanking anymore. But they are spread out so you guys might be able to gang up on them even as a 3 v1 :o

Throwing another deathsbane from the same 20' distance at the same creature, which I assume is the one with two arms, but also spending a point of inspiration on Cunning Insight, so 5-2+4

So his ac is 18 now alot better lol.

Oh good
I’ll also spend my move to grab a new vial forgot to add that

On flanking, remember that due to my stance, the one's I'm adjacent to are allways flanked if anyone else is adjacent too, which is the two armed one at least (me and porky+ anyone else joining in).

[Forsaken]

gotcha gotcha. Them vials are getting low at a fast rate lol. But good thing people in this world make alot of stuff like that. Kinda like the witcher game potions for certain mobs.

noice noice. Take em down! lol

[DeTess]

well then, let's see if I can actually do some damage before I need to spend a full-round action resetting my maneuvers

move action: nothing
standard action: mountain hammer strike: attack deals 2d6 extra damage and ignores DR and hardness

attack roll:
damage roll [roll]1d8+2d6+1

[DeTess]

that's a hit! rerolling damage as it got messed up. [roll0] +[roll1] (ignores any DR and hardness)

edit:
maneuvers
burning blade
shadow jaunt
mountain hammer
Counter charge
shadow blade technique

[zlefin]

I'll strike again at the nearest one, moving to a flanking position if I can safely, and preferring to target the one weakened by the deathsbane; but it's hard to tell descriptively how many of us are in position to do that.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Porky gonna swing again, this time with flanking from someone's island of blade and the bonus from a masterwork weapon!

Oh, man. I'm not even gonna roll to oppose that grapple; B. literally can't go nearly as high with a roll. And quite amusingly, her Escape Artist is worse than her grapple modifier.

So… Pathetic attack it is: [roll0] for [roll1] silvered piercing.

[tonberryking]

Wait, did I miss rolling for initiative? I didn't act last round b/c Loba still needs her move action to form the mind blade.

Pretty sure she just exploded whatever's attacking Bryanthe, though.

[Forsaken]

Since its been two days since my last ic post i'll throw another out there if anyone didnt react or if I missed it I'm sorry . Counted a total of 6 actions missing two but I also like to keep a constant pace going. So from now on especially for combat rounds I'll do a two day wait before next round of combat. Lastly if you post actions in ooc but dont follow up with an IC rp even if its only a line or two I realize it slows down my time as well :smallredface: so if possible even if its a swing and a miss please say so in IC just to make it a tad smoother on my end. Thank ya :smallbiggrin: if you need more from me let me know as well.


Round 3 fight!

No legs against B (-3hp)

After this attack its going to try and pin you to start feasting on you :smalleek: (just gonna be immobile and take a -4 ac but can still act normally expect immobile. More fluff than anything i think)

Porky is scott free this round :o but than again he was tanking them all xD

After results I'll update ic then everyone back up!

[tonberryking]

...What about Loba's attack?

[zlefin]

I hadn' tdone my IC post at the time because I wasn't sure if i'd hit or not, since I didn't know for sure which one I was attacking due to the theater of mind stuff and positioning being unclear, and with one of them having less armor than others atm.
Similarly if flanking would make a difference to a hit, I need to know whteher or not I'm flanking to write the IC.


I'll strike to try to finish off this weakened one, or if it's already down by someone else's action, move onto another ac reduced one, and/or one I can flank.

[roll0]
[roll1]


damage tken so far: 14 (most of it to the barrier, so healing won't help as yet, no real need anyways).

[Forsaken]

...What about Loba's attack?

ah sorry missed seeing it when I was making the ic post. Ill edit the hit in thanks for catching that :smallwink:

so half a man undead should be at -20 hp nice way more hurt than I thought.

editted the ic to includer lobas attack! (I think i overlooked in maybe due to the rolls being in an ooc spoiler in Ic thread. Normally I read those as comments but look into ooc for more of the damage rolls and combat actions my bad 2.0)

[Dakrsidder]

Tbf, there isn’t much else I can do here; it’s either chuck something, grease, or run up and do minimal damage. Not too familiar with The Witcher, but icic

With that in mind, I’ll get within 20’ of the one-armed undead and once again toss a deathsbane with Cunning Insight
[roll0] touch

I’d crumble after 2 hits; bit too risky

Seems the one-armed one is in for a bad time

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Porkys gonna try to angle his special attack [Supreme Charge] to overrun the undead in front of him, and then run through and shoulder check the grappling undead off of our party member. Gonna do my best not to hit any allies.



2/8 [Supreme Charge] A powerful and deadly charge. Dealing [roll0] in a 15ft cone going 60ft. Creatures in the attack must make a DC of (15) to resist being flung and knocked prone. (Cooldown of [roll1] rounds)

Forgot to roll the attack my bad. [roll0]
Since its going through some squares I feel we should lower it by 4 due to trying to avoid enemies but then also giving you a flanking bonus so it be -2 lol

Strength saves not that I think they will be needing it lol

Two armed[roll1]
No legs [roll2]

edit: yep nope a 28 you manage to avoid every pc while slamming two undead with an insta kill rush. Now the only one left has its ac reduced to 12 lol. Rip him.

@Everyone: Is anyone other than my idiot Aasimar (yes, close with the grapple-happy Undead, it will work out fine!) and (I believe) Cyndred hurt? The parts of B. that aren't currently partly digested reddish goo are free to distribute heals!

Okay, thanks. Maynard apparently doesn't need healing right now because of the perk barrier thing.That means Cyndred is at 6 hp, and is first priotity, and Eria's next. With some luck, combat will be over by then and nothing eats the bits of B. that are not already eaten.

[Metastachydium]

Damn it, forgot the roll. CMW on Cyndred: [roll0]

3/8 Sanctified Healing: As a bonus action you may heal up to two creatures for half of a healing spell you cast.

Couldve healed you and him you hp of 12 is kinda worrisome :smalleek:

edit That is a bonus action that can follow a spell :smallredface: meaning you just healed cyndred for 16 but you could use your perk and heal up to two more people 8 hp each. I hope that makes sense :smallbiggrin: makes a single heal spell an aoe heal spell. Just not as effective but still pretty good like a heal potion

Hate to be that girl, but in 3.5 it'd be a swift action (probably?). There are no bonus actions in 3.5 like there are in 5e, but swift actions are very similar (1/turn minor action), though with the added note that they share a slot with immediate actions (interrupt off-turn, consumes your swift action on your next turn).

we've been getting alot of ninjas in this campaign lately lol. But yep my brain has been blurring 5e Pathfinder and 3.5 a bit more recently. But it works just let me know when I make an error and ill fix it lol. Makes it better in the long run.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

And somehow, porky has not been injured yet.

[Dakrsidder]

Actually, I just looked back and I think one of the attacks should’ve hit, as it rolled a 24, which meets pre-rage

Yep that works. Just one more clarrification. You can heal up to two. But that also doesnt include the first target for healing though. So it could be a 16 main, 8 one, 8 two. For a total of three people. But it cant be the same person multiple times though.

[Forsaken]

To ja from last one standing (-8hp)

[roll0]
[roll1]

Then everyone up to murder it. Rekill it? Undead the undead it? idk lol

Pretty straightforward, attacking the one remaining, no need for anything fancy at this point, not that I have much in terms of fancy options anyways.

Seeing as the rest of the party probably has this, I'll just begin a quick search around the area in case there's treasure or something interesting to find

Porky moves over to the last of the undead, charging to gain a big more accuracy without an ally to give him flanking.

Time for another fire and ice combo:

Move: move up to the last monster:
Swift: burning blade boost
Standard: shadow blade technique
Roll 1: [roll0]
Roll 2: [roll1]
Bludgeoning damage: [roll2]
Fire damage: [roll3]
Cold damage (only if lower attack roll hits): [roll4]

[Metastachydium]

Okay, with all those hits, I'm pretty sure that thing doesn't possess a bodily form anymore, so HEALS TIME!

For Cyndred, another CMW: [roll0];

for Eria, a Cleric's CLW, I'm not gonna roll because it restores at least as many hp she's missing, i.e. 5 (actually, its minimum output is 6, but Eria doesn't need as much);

and for B. herself, a Healer's CLW: [roll1].

Would Porky like that 1 hp restored?

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Save your magic, 1 hp isn't worth a first lvl spell

As long as you don't mind losing the box, Eria can get it open.

[Dakrsidder]

Yes, I suppose smashing it to pieces would be faster. Might as well go for it in that case.

4 rounds of rage. Porky deals with 4 rounds of exhaustion, then starts moving

DESTROY ALL IN OUR PATH!! I approve.

[Forsaken]

yes YES destroy the box containing an ancient demon sealed in a glass bottle buhahahahahaha


All jokes aside. Yep that can work lol. Note to self no more iron boxes :smallbiggrin:

But dont worry its just arm wraps nothing special at all. Just has some small yellow gemstones that gleam in the light is all.

(Armwraps dont take a slot)

I'm guessing even though part of the perk is called soul flame, it's not going to do much against a ghost possessing someone other than destroy the vessel?

Unless someone has a ward against evil, a similar ability, or a way to attack it directly, it's seeming as though we're gonna have to leave the cave or something like that

You could always try it and see what happens lol. Perks are fun as you can do alot more than their stat block

[Dakrsidder]

If they fail the save all 5 times and it rolls 3 every time, that's 15 con... actually, is it damage or drain? In the description, constitution damage & ability drain are mentioned. Anyway, it could turn bad real quick, which is why I hesitate, especially as it's the body that becomes icy shards, but I'm willing to try.

It does damage to the stat but gives you hp back sorry if I worded that wrong but yep its pretty strong. Max is 45 con damage if you spam it on one target lol thats pretty lethal.

[Dakrsidder]

Idk about you, but I don't think she has 15 con, let alone 45 heh

Well. If the girl is hurt, the Reach CLW goes off: [roll0] (I think using the weaker Cleric one here makes sense, as B. has little reason to assume the girl had that many hp to begin with).

[Dakrsidder]

The ghost is a demon and not a fiend that's actually a devil, right? Can make a knowledge check if necessary, asking as the former would probably kill the girl out of spite while trying to escape, at least one by the books

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Should Porky hug the little girl so she can't run from the exorcism?

[Dakrsidder]

I'm not entirely sure how effective the perk is for that purpose; I didn't get to see the effect on that attempt, so dunno. If it's direct damage, whether or not it's in the body, it probably won't leave; if it's damage contingent on a body, it might leave; if it disrupts the possession, that's even better; but with the threat to drag her down, it might not be a good idea to test idk

Yea 11 wasnt enough to break the ac of the possessed girl.

You know that its a dread wraith not a demon more of a ghost. This one seems stronger than the others but due to the captain its heavily wounded.


Shall I take it that the girl didn't need healing, then?

Currently the wraith possessing her isnt letting anyone except maynard get close to it. But afterwords that healing would kick in yep.

[zlefin]

I've no intention to fight the possession of course, I thought that was clear.

I'm basically just gonna be waiting now until stuff happens such that I'm not possessed.

[Forsaken]

Got it but had to give ya one last chance. Are you wanting anyone to escort or stick back with you? Your last IC had me slightly confused on that. Or are you fully letting the wraith possess your body and run away into the night with you with no one sticking by you or hanging back?

After that info I'll update the IC :smallbiggrin:

[zlefin]

I said what I said, I assume people will follow that plan and follow at a reasonable distance so that it's risky for the demon to abscond with the body, but not so close that they could just kill us both to be done with the demon or pull off somethin fancy. At any rate, what others do is outside my control, I get possessed and then the others do whatever actions they choose to take. How they choose to handle the situation is up to their chars not mine.

I thought it was claer that a distant escort was the proposed plan.

PS Maynard well knows he might not come out of this alive, but it gets the Captain back and will help save the town, and he didn' tsee a better plan nor did anyone else seem to have a better plan.

self sacrifice ftw lol. If anyone wants to try and follow you they could jump into the ic b thread. If not it be a solo adventure for awhile lol. I was tempted to have Gerald attack you but with how honorable you acted I let him accept your sacrifice and he protect his daughter.

[Dakrsidder]

As said in my earlier post, going to pocket treasure before moving on, so taking anything without a listed weight can sort it out later. Referring to 577 gp, 10 sp, 8 cp, Grindstone, Lapis Lazuli, Violet Garnet, and the Onyx Ring.

[zlefin]

I too had pondered the plan of just killing the demon once it was inside me; or trying to kill it while spamming heals on me in the hopes that I survive while it dies. But there was no safe way to communicate that plan without tipping it off; and the captain seemed unwilling to try to do that plan on his daughter, hence the need to break the impasse.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

So.... what happens if porky rushes up and knocks out our possessed friend with non lethal damage?

[zlefin]

A fine question, but I think we can safely assume non-lethal damage to the body doesn't stop the demon/whatever it is from doing stuff, otherwise the captain would've just non-lethal'd his daughter.

I forgot to do one of the strats I'd thought of: tearing off a piece of my clothes to give to you guys so you could track by scent more easily in case things go wrong.

True, but if we bring back your unconscious body, maybe we can bathe you in holy water and salt to drive out the demon?

[Dakrsidder]

I considered the possibility of attacking it after it transferred to someone tankier, but I see three reasons not to.

First, it can coup de grace you; even if it failed to kill, it would maim the character horribly until we managed to find something to remove the drain, seeing as it’d be 2d8 (average of 9) constitution drain. Second, seeing as the captain only seemed able to directly attack it on a counter, my character may've been the only one who could potentially damage it unless it retaliated or stopped possession, and even if it was heavily weakened, it’s still a dread wraith, so things would probably go badly. Lastly, assuming its alignment isn’t changed, it is lawful, so letting the deal run its course allows us to avoid dealing with the high chance of a character death.

Ah thanks for the reminder will update those in a bit. Also the captain was worried the wraith would kill his daughter i.e blood coming out of her face in a threat.

Bold choice trying to drag an unconscious person with a wraith trapped in them at night when all the baddies roam free. :smallbiggrin: Also whats porky deciding on doing?

Dread wraiths are fun. lol But this one is uber hurt and lost its squad of undead. So is desperate for anything. Like an animal trapped in a corner :smalleek:

I suppose I intend to exit the pit and backtrack near the cave where the guards were assumed to be, perhaps a bit of sneaking around too

The drain is certainly something

[Metastachydium]

Hm. I was tempted to have B. just do the dumb thing and run after, but she really is quite that bad at stealth (and running (and survival (and…))) and the kind of person who'd trust Eria's assessment of the situation. Still, if you folks think Team Running Wraith needs a healer around, anyone else who follows those too can just feel free to grab her and drag her along.

Either way works lol. Im mainly just waiting on some more pc decisions. Gerald doesnt really need healing he is only slighlty scuffed up. His daughter could use about 10 points though.

Nah thats all good. She will be unconscious still though. Not due to being at almost full hp but because wraith is pretty damaging for the mind.

@forsaken, I'm going to need some info on my surroundings. I understand it is foresty, but how dense? And how are light levels? Any shadows I could go invisible in with my ring?

[zlefin]

hmm, not looking promising for me, but I knew the risks. Though I had hoped more would be on the team to deal with the fiend if they reneged. Or the captain would be able to follow swiftly enough to make short work of us both. But I guess he interpreted what I said a bit differently, and very understandably went straight back to town. I figured people would follow at ~200 feet, so a whole gang would be able to take chase very easily if the fiend reneges, that was my whole point about making it a risk for it to do so.

Maynard will try fighting to take control for however long that works

Since its night time you have plenty of darkness to sneak around in. This current spot is semi dense but not to the point where it would hinder movement or combat.

Ah my bad. Captain Gerald was thinking this guy is sacrificing himself for my daughter and the town. Respecting your wishes he rushes back to defend the town. But the day after he probably would have chased you down to put your corpse to rest. If in fact you were a corpse at the time. You almost broke the possession first try to lol. You got this. Since you were so close you are hindering the wraiths control. Kinda like grappling him with your mind. lol You going to get a +2 bonus for being so close on your next roll to oppose him.

[DeTess]

Eria is trying to see if the monster keeps coming at her, or goes after the spot she spoke from to determine if it could actually see her or not.

[zlefin]

How often can I reattempt to take control? I assume the same time limits would apply to how often it can also make reattempts to control. Depending on the frequency it could end up passing back and forth a lot.

[Metastachydium]

Let's see:

Heal to see just how injured everyone is: [roll0], then
4 Healer's Cure Minors for 9 hp healed by each on four unconscious guards (which should put them back into commission even if they are at -9),
a Cleric's CLW for the fifth: [roll1] for the fifth.

The remaining three Cleric's CLWs get distribujted among conscious, but heavily injured soldiers, prioritizing any that are conscious but staggered:

The whole process takes roughly a minute.

Yea its a concentration check and if you fail you cant change but can rp it as choosing not to. To drop fangs in humanoid form though is free and doesnt require a con check

You also wouldnt know about the wraiths ability you probably can figure out the limits if you test it out though yes. I was just giving you some extra ooc knowledge to try to help lol

Huh, so makin the will save directly forces it out, I was wondering how that would work. I guess I don't need to find out then if it was feasible to hurt it and me both while it was inside me. I had been considering stabbing myself in the gut with smite evil even without knowing if I got control and it was still in, since it wouldn't be able to dodge while possessing. but all moot now.

[DeTess]

Does Maynard have a source of light or some other way of seeing in darkness other than darkvision? Just wondering if you can see me right now.

[zlefin]

No, I've no light source. Even if it's night there should be some ambient light though, very dim but some.

[DeTess]

@forsaken, can you give me some ideas on exactly what nights are like in this world? How many monsters will appear, how do they react to other monsters, etc.

I see two lines of action. One is to turtle down somewhere, for example using spiderform to weave a web high up in some trees and wait for dawn there, but uf there are lots if flying monsters who can somehow tell the precense of humanoids that might not work.

The other approach is Eria using her superior stealth to scout a path for the both of us, but depending on monster density that might not work.

[zlefin]

One thing I'm sure of: anyone who lives in this world would have knowledge of what to do if you're outside the town at night. Knowledge so common that, at least at a basic level, one wouldn't need a knowledge check. Certainly at least between the basic choices of whether it's better to just make a run for the nearest town or find somewhere to hide and wait out the night.

An all manner of monsters. Some are ghosts as you seen. So spectral undead, Demon and ghouls. Normally if you just look over the town gates you see mini hordes of monsters. If without the totems protection in the wilds you are like a beckon to undead and fiends and they will try to actively hunt you down. That's why its near suicide to be without a totem's protection at night.

So yep flying monsters are present and expect roughly 50-100 monsters probably targeting you and the numbers increase the darker it gets at night. :smalleek:

Yep yep generally its always better to make a run for it for town. But by the time you get there its gonna be close to midnight. But thats if you were able to see clearly and not be attacked along the way. You know from the info that you have learned that you have maybe 30-45 minutes before the minor monsters start appearing. The longer you wait the stronger ones that appears.


Stop being reasonable about it, you two! How are we going to mount an Ill-Fated Rescue Mission if you just rescue yourselves?!

lol they gotta use everything they can to their disposal! I dont want them dying either :smallbiggrin:

Porky is done for the night

I'll start taking non-lethal from the persistent hustling we've been doing. I'll just keep the hustle pace going regardless, as the loss of ability to run due to fatigue seems less important than trying to get near town ASAP.

@forsaken, I think we've settled on a plan. Eria will go about a hundred feet ahead of Maynard (keeping him within 120 feet darkvision) and try to guide them around any monsters.

Do you need any rolls from me?

I'm bowing out, I really admire the fast pace and your style, but I just lost track and I'm not feeling Ja anymore.
