The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC

[Ghostfoot]

Tough fight, this. Lucky that ice mephits are sooo stupid!

[Starbin]

Yeah, 1st level fight vs DR, with no cold iron, is pretty tough. We may not win this one

[Ghostfoot]

A guaranteed level up for any survivors though - there's your incentive

[DrK]

A critical threat will help!

To confirm (1d20+7)[14] TOTAL damage (4d6+21)[31]

[farothel]

Hopefully I get some better rolls then.

[Ghostfoot]

A critical threat will help!

A few things:

1. That mephit is toast. Just....so dead.
2. Technically as a large creature with a reach weapon I think Freyja can attack at 15' and 20' but not at 5' or 10'. Is that right or does she have something special going on?
3. Giant-blooded should have +1 natural armour, so a nice little bonus for you to add in there.

[Starbin]

As far as I’ve read, yes - a large creature with an appropriate sized reach weapons threaten 15-20 feet, but not 10’ and closer. If Big F goes to a sword, she’d obviously threaten 5-10’ instead.

[farothel]

Who's turn is it? I hope you're not waiting for me?

[PeacefulOak]

PeacefulOak has resurfaced.

I'm easing back into my games, I think this is one that I will carry on with if that is OK with the team.

If you're in my other games, I'm deciding which I will keep... I'm sorry if I drop a game you're fond of.

Hooray, welcome back. Very glad to have you rejoin. Hope all is good (or at least better).

Who's turn is it? I hope you're not waiting for me?

Starbin's turn, but I'll be 1-2 days from posting any response as I get through the end of the work week.

.........................

Also, I have another player lined up to join us given we lost Atlas & NPC Signy is more support rather than combat-ready. Anyone have any preference for role/ class for them to fill? They're open to suggestions. I've got some ideas but so might you?

I rolled for your character for one turn. I hope I haven't done anything wrong in the description.

As to the new character, something with healing would be great. Otherwise I don't really mind one way or another as long as the character works with the rest of the party.

[PeacefulOak]

Did great, thank you for jaegering him in my absence.

Is there any knowledge roll we can make for the icy-things? Or did I miss this in the thread?

[Ghostfoot]

I did check, but I may not have posted it...from memory nobody had Knowledge Planes so all you knew were that they were 'foul demons' ie outsiders.

[PeacefulOak]

But I clearly have "Knowledge: Freaky Ice Things" listed on my character sheet! >.>

Clearly I swing well with the DM rolling for me! ;)

Some arcane magic is always useful! Or a really tanky front line type

[Ghostfoot]

Okay, I'm hoping to update tonight after work.

draw an alchemist fire. Throw it at the sprite at Y25.
RTA - (1d20+2)[11]

That roll is a shame...it was a good idea

[Starbin]

Oh, every good idea / roleplay has been ultimately kicked in the groin by the dirty roller ...

[farothel]

If I counted correctly, we're already at round 5 of the chill metal spell. One more round and then the damage stops and hopefully we can attack again.

[PeacefulOak]

Opportunity attack against the fleeing ice beast?

(1d20+5)[9] to hit for (2d6+6)[13] damage

Edit: never mind...

Correct - its starting to fade. Fixed it for you :

One more round and then the damage stops and hopefully we can attack again. we can flee screaming into the night

Opportunity attack against the fleeing ice beast?

[roll0] to hit for [roll1] damage

Edit: never mind...

Full withdraw action, so it gets to fly away

[Farmerbink]

Hiya, folks!

So I've been talking with Ghostfoot for a while and he/she saw fit to invite me to your game here. I'm excited to join, at the reins of a feral hunter named Elissa: she's the bastard half-Nuk scion of... probably someone important, but she never knew, as she was raised among her fairer kin. Of course, she didn't precisely fit in, and quickly found herself an outcast among outcasts.

Never at home anywhere, she developed an unusually strong affinity for nature, beasts especially, and managed to avoid the worst of the prejudices often imparted by civilization. As such, while she won't like any of you, as long as you're not despoiling the land, she won't dislike you either. Really, she'll have a hard time developing much feeling or affection for anyone, outside the context of recognizing the value of allies.

We've got a little bit of a plan formulated regarding her entrance, though to be honest, I have not been keeping up well with the I-C thread. Today's my last day at work before a cross-country move and oh yeah the whole world is burning down. Still, I expect she'll make an in-character debut in the upcoming few days or week.

From a more mechanical perspective, Elissa will have quite a bit of expertise in the area of summoning friendly animals, she'll be pretty fierce in terms of tearing down unfriendly non-animals, with a significant splash of both magical and mundane healing. In a few levels, she'll be able to take on the shape of animals, which I intend to use primarily in service as a scout/infiltrator. I'm hopeful the first strength will mitigate the need for a tanky-type character. In addition, if anyone cares to take (or find a way to acquire otherwise) the outflank feat, she and her summoned animals will have the potential to help you tear stuff down, as well.

So... hi! And uh, yeah. Hi.

[Starbin]

Welcome aboard FB - always good to have more meat for the grinder!

[farothel]

Welcome aboard FB - always good to have more meat for the grinder!

and we're in a grinder at the moment.

Welcome.

[Farmerbink]

Haha, great! I'm not too attached to her, yet!

[PeacefulOak]

Holy carp it's a Farmerbink!

Howdy, and welcome to the Northlands!

[Ghostfoot]

Welcome FB!

Just in time to provide some welcome support for our poor beleaguered heroes. Or at least to loot the bodies .

We can slot you in whenever you are ready to go.

[Starbin]

I wonder if he remember to purchase COLD IRON WEAPONS ...

Totally weird timing ... this is the first character I didn't buy a single cold iron weapon for.

[farothel]

I went the silver way, but that didn't work out (yet). We'll just have to hit harder I guess.

[Farmerbink]

Yikes, that DR is mean! Not sure I'm gonna be an awful lot of help here, but I can help patch us up as long as we all survive!

[Starbin]

I think your character could have a reason to come equipped for fey. I think Ghostfoot would be amicable to you having cold-iron tipped arrows ...
