Ruins of Azlant OOC

@u-b: So based on initiative, does Jessica go now? Then enemies, then party?

@farothel: It's a fine decision to delay, but I think you can shoot them. I don't think we'd be "on land" though. From the RoA_PG:

Ranged Attacks Underwater: Thrown weapons are ineffective underwater, even when launched from land. Attacks with other ranged weapons take a –2 penalty on attack rolls for every 5 feet of water they pass through, in addition to the normal penalties for range.
Attacks from Land: Characters swimming, floating, or treading water on the surface, or wading in water at least chest deep, have improved cover (+8 bonus to AC, +4 bonus on Reflex saves) from opponents on land. Land-bound opponents who have freedom of movement effects ignore this cover when making melee attacks against targets in the water. A completely submerged creature has total cover against opponents on land unless those opponents have freedom of movement effects. Magical effects are unaffected except for those that require attack rolls (which are treated like any other effects) and fire effects.

The enemies now (surprise round), then Jessica and Laurelata (normal round, any order), then enemies, then the whole party (any order) and so on.

[farothel]

If I have to roll something, do let me know. And please include any penalties I have from being in the boat and how far it is under the water.

Waiting for the word, cap! ;-)

No, just waiting for me. Got a tight deadline for a game application. Should be able to post later today.

Cool! Thanks for the info about order.

I am glad to be in the back since those creatures look awful.

Guys, does anyone have any ranks in dungeoneering?

not yet, it's on my to get list. I'll do a post in a few minutes (long day at work with a lot of boring meetings: good time to start killing things).

[Spore]

I have dungeoneering.

[Spore]

I forgot. (1d20+5)[21]

Wrong damage roll but a 6 won't hit anyhow.

[farothel]

Hey guys. I'm having a lot of trouble with the forums. I couldn't even get on at all most of today. So I'm still in, but I might be erratic in my response until it gets better.

[u-b]

Having the same problem as, I believe, everyone. Will play it slowly and/or have it suspended depending on how bad it is. I'm not expecting timely responses, given the circumstances, and neither should you.

No surprise there. The site was down for at least 8 hours.

Yeah, even after the site went down and returned, it seems like the lag issues and errors 503 still happen. I will try to stay active daily though.

[Farmerbink]

1: so yes, same issues.

2: I've got a discord server pretty active for like-minded people. There's a lot of room for conversation over there, and whatnot. Feel free to join if you care to: https://discord.gg/ewkARyf

[SanguinePenguin]

Apparently, I'm also not always receiving email notifications of new posts. I'll try to check-in by hand regularly for updates until this is resolved. I actually just rejoined this site after a several year hiatus, so I'm glad to learn this frustrating situation is not standard. Overload type errors happened occasionally back then, but never like this.

What is a discord server? What entails like-minded people?

[Farmerbink]

um. A discord server is basically a fancy word for chatroom. It's a specific room within the discord app that I have opened and I guess moderate?

And "likeminded" basically just means we want to play Pathfinder, plan Pathfinder games, and talk about playing Pathfinder. Maybe occasionally joke about other semi-related nonsense. I've not yet had to address other topics, I suppose because everyone so far has implicitly agreed that this isn't the place for politics or whatever.

[Spore]

So are you guys back too?

[farothel]

I'm back in. We were fighting some aquatic goblins or something or other I think.

[DaOldeWolf]

I am back.

If I remember correctly. It was the dm's turn to post.

[SanguinePenguin]

I'm here, and glad the forum is back. Hopefully the glacial pace will be a thing of the past!

So... how was everyone's month of silence?

[u-b]

If I remember correctly. It was the dm's turn to post.

Aaaand... done!

[Spore]

I am hinting at the AQUAkineticist to do something torrent-y or water-y in character. You figure out what I mean.

[Farmerbink]

Huzzah! I had hoped you would be watching and start things up as soon as the forum status allowed it. I'm glad my hopes were not unfounded!

[farothel]

If you need to get the Canoe out of the water, I have 50Ft of rope and a grappling hook you can use.

[DaOldeWolf]

Just my luck, I keep rolling poorly on the attack rolls.

[Spore]

Forgot my own attack:

Atk (1d20+5)[17]
Crit (1d20+5)[9]

Damage: (1d8+4)[10]
Crit: (1d8+4)[9]

First AoO vs. attack (giving +2 AC on attacked ally) or vs. moving away.
(1d20+5)[6]

Miss chance (3d100)[64][2][99](165)

[DaOldeWolf]

Well, does anyone have skill ranks in knowledge nature?

[SanguinePenguin]

Taz does... (1d20+4)[13]

[Spore]

The currently sleeping Marius does too. Good thing he can hold his breath for so long.

(1d20+5)[10]

I love the fact that these creatures look like the kind of stuff an aging sailor would tell his children and grandchildren, and they would not believe a single word.

"Claws like crabs." old Marius muttered. "A dog's snout." Marius Jr. seemed not convinced. "But you said the creatures looked like a goblin octopus, gran'pa."

"Yes, small one. The OTHER creatures looked that way."

Question: can I shoot at the thing or won't that do any damage as the Arrow loses too much momentum?

I camt wait to hear the children being confused about the fire mask wolf being an ally.
