Re: Out of Character thread II

Stahl Tropfstein:
I wasn't quite clear on what the deal is with the book. Is it that the book lets a ritual caster perform comprehend languages for zero component cost?

If the book amounts to an endless font of information for the party (by effectively translating everything they might come across), Stahl doesn't care if the townsfolk ever receive it.

He has to keep it for it to be free. So that is the twist I guess. But once done, yeah, he can return it.

The idea, I take it, is that it's like how scrolls worked in previous editions, except that it doesn't go away after it's used. Is that right?

Bingo!

Also, please drive the scene, if you wish to proceed.

Re: Out of Character thread II

Saskan:
We could also add it into the table our GM has created for our enemies (assuming we wanted to add ourselves into that mix :)

Perhaps something more like this ?
With the confusion we had about which servant is which etc. an indication of its Location (naturally at the time of the GM post), a row for each foe might be a good way to prevent this, also as regards which effect affects who etc.
Of course, handling tables is sometimes a bit of a mess, but I always do those in EXCEL anyway, then it's just prep to get the nice table as below.
As before, only GM would post the table, so as not to clutter the IC endlessly with tables.

Just my 50 pence

As I can steal this from you via your post, no hassle. It would be great actually, as I can indicate a new placement if pushed(hi MALPH/vynt!) or similar. So yeah...YOINK!

Just need the lot of you to confirm the stats or well, I should check I guess. But if you have added them as Vynt has, they should be on point.
One thing I might add is a space or column that states usage of AP(which aids Saskan).

I doesn't have Eldritch Strike, opting as I did for the Blast rather than the strike.  SO no MBA for Warfryn till he buys himself a dagger.

Re: Out of Character thread II

Sorry for my lack of relatively activity.  Hellishly busy at work, coupled with a lot of good events ongoing on personally.  Next week, I'm traveling for work, so I should actually have more time than of late.

I'm assuming the Orcus reference is actually supposed to be Shar.

Also, my MBA is +9 to hit, 1d8+5 damage.

Malphurious:

Actually I thought it was intention to suggest some sort of alliance between cultists of Shar and Orcus...
Clarification would be nice, I guess :-)

Do we have some sort of Group Equipment list anywhere ?
Or what do we do with those 200 sp and 100 gp ?

@Ignatz
With that weapons would it not be wise to tick the "record each die" option ?
Either way, added it above, not sure about the damage though, I've added +4 for your STR...

Saskan:
Nice!

^^, it might be nice to add your values to the table :D

Whops..misstype! Yes, remove orcus, place Shar. That one is on me for being sloppy.

As for a shared thread, if you want one, let me know.

I somehow messed up with the link to Magic Items.
Can someone provide it again please ?
Much obliged.

Seems there is none and one must leave through the books
(I was only trying to find healing potion ^^)

Re: Out of Character thread II

So, yeah, kindly do set up a "Group Equipment" thread.

If everyone's okay I'd say we purchase 2 potions, leaving us with 200ss in the Group cash.

Other than that I think we can set out to the Keep ?

The potions from the supply storage are free if you take them. The thread is up shortly.

QUestion.
Has the fight vs Bairwin been a 'milestone' ?
Am asking because of potential recovery of AP(s) :D

Re: Out of Character thread II

Milestoning is two encounters in a row without long rest, so yes, given that there has not been a long rest since you took on both ninaran and now Bairwin.

So yes, Milestone.

Wasn't aware there's a n actual definition of milestone other than those implied by more or less common sense...^^

Okay, so we go to the Keep ?
Or do we check on the graveyard as my character suggested sometime earlier ?

In reply to Vynthear Klayde (msg # 94):

DMs can also decide that a given encounter counts double toward a milestone (such as if the encounter is two or more levels above the party) or doesn't count toward a milestone at all (such as if the encounter is two or more levels below a party).

Ding! That said, It is very likely that you will have to take a long rest before entering a keep voiding all this. That said, yes, I gave you the dull and boring core version of a milestone, and Stahls definition is on point.
In the end, it is just mechanics, and how it is applied is more key. In a string of encounters, getting a second AP during a long trek in a tunnel to get that awesome relic of kickbuttery, it is huge. So what Stahl said mostly.

Re: Out of Character thread II

Arcane checks for any signals and locations you wish to check, any roll over 15 can tell you more.

As for the game now, we do not need to stall if you wish to proceed, as I sense you do, you can include the above as part of a two way post if you wish, and I will look into making a new thread soon, splitting the locations.
Agreeable?

Stahl takes 10 on Athletics to get himself, Prinz and then Vynthear over the barricade. He'll help anyone else who needs it.
