This thread is for all OOC chatter, and questions to the GM's.

Seralessa : I don't see a character sheet for you? Are you still working on it?

I should have said this earlier, but forgot. If you fail your save, the only place you can go to get out of the stinking clouds effects is out the inn's front door or up the stairs and down the hallway. You cannot remain on the stairs and going down the hallway will take you out of the fight altogether. Also, I changed my earlier post. You do NOT have to flee the cloud unless you want to, but if you remain in the cloud, you will become nauseated.

If you've already posted, and what I stated affects you, you can re-do your post to reflect what you might want to do otherwise.

If you have a pet with you, please make sure you roll their saves, and perform their actions in the same post as yours. Thanks!

Sent you a reply in my RTJ message, Chronicler.

Thank you Seralessa.

I'm waiting on Beonna to post her pets save, and actions. After that, I will be done with Round 1 and everyone will be able to react in Round 2.

Larmiun fired a 120ft line of sound in Msg 600. Did he hit anything?

In reply to Larmiun Dol'Uten (msg # 7):

Missed it, but have now added it. :)

ROUND 2 - YOUR TURN - Everybody can go now. Please read to make sure I didn't miss something you posted. If you had a pet with you, please roll for them too. This should be done every post.

The next update is scheduled to be on 2/28/2023 after 1700 CST.

@Breonna : Will Ulfric remain in the cloud or move away from you and out of it?

@Macawi : Your post didn't say you were charging into the rift. Your last post said this...

quote:

He sees the vortex and the creatures emerging and he charges with at them at all speed and intensity.

21:03, Today: Macawi rolled 17 using 1d20+2.  initiative.

If I can charge to attack first round will do but coming from out back if I can get within ranged attack distance will do that first.

So, I will rule no, and will accept that you will...

Sick and vomiting Macawi makes his way out feeling like a coward and failure.

OOC: Actually, it is 25 temp HP.

In reply to Seralessa Vadmal (msg # 12):

Noted, and updated the post. Thanks!

@Sir Constantine Godalming: I need a Fort Save DC 13 every time.

Everyone who Saved last time but still remained in the stinking cloud must roll the Fort Save each and every time. If you didn't roll it, please roll it now.

I will need a duration for the nausea effects to wear off, now that I have an Air Bubble in place.

Silly question maybe, but is creating this air bubble a standard or immediate action?

In reply to Zaineb (msg # 16):

1 Standard

But if you're nauseated you only get a move action?

In reply to Zaineb (msg # 18):

Good Catch.

I will NPC players who didn't post something in the last round. After I make any necessary rolls, I will have that player leave the fog cloud by exiting through the front door. That character will have to wait until the next round to act; if they are capable of acting at all at that time.

If I cannot cast it, can I climb out of the area (move action)?

Cloud spreads in 20-ft. radius, 20 ft. high which covers the common rooms entire area; floor to ceiling. I moved you outside via the door, but I will allow you to climb up the stairs and down the hall. If you choose do go there instead, I will warn you that you will not be able to fire at the Dretch from up there because there will be no line of sight.

No, but my climb speed is higher than my run speed, so going up gives me a slight mobility advantage.

In reply to Greb (msg # 23):

Ok, I'll send you up the stairs and down the hallway.

NPCed...

In reply to Seralessa Vadmal (msg # 25):

Is there a reason why you removed your character sheet from the Character Details section? I had copied it there from the PM you had showed me and then I deleted the PM. I get so many PM's a day, I delete them to keep my inbox manageable. Since it was removed from where it should be, I didn't have access to it. I chose to do what I did with your character because of that, and because I'm giving a reasonable amount of time for players to update so the scenario moves along in a timely manner. If I don't set a time limit, the situation in the inn will take forever. Some of the players in the inn don't want this as some are ready to set off on other adventures.

Moving the update to 3/3/2033. I have too much going on that Thursday, and nothing happening the next day.

Mmmm... I didn't do it.
In fact, it says that the last one that modified it was you.

In reply to Seralessa Vadmal (msg # 28):

Hmmm, now it's there again. How weird.

I didn't see Larmiun Dol'Uten's Fortitude Save.

If it succeeds, I believe Larmiun will be the only player still in the inn's common room capable of doing anything. Everyone else has already posted, so the next update will be very easy. I think I'll only have a couple of AoO's to do, and a few other minor details to update.

@Sir Constantine -  I don't understand this post.



Is your Fort Save 25 or is it 3? If it's 3 you wouldn't be able to attack. I'm assuming it was the 25.

To answer your other question, you didn't notice anything other than what I posted and you didn't notice anything this round.

ooc: Sir ConstNtine rolled 3 times at once, this is the third roll. Check 'rolls' next to his portrait :)

Does anyone know how long it will take Tremaine to get to Nishka's Emporium being nauseated from the spell?

I got it. Sir ConstNtine made this one, but he will be failing his next one. Thanks Zaineb!

Yes that is correct, once I rolled a fail, I knew when it would happen...
I was trying to save time...

18:41, Thu 23 Feb: Sir Constantine Godalming rolled 12 using 1d20+10.  fort save 4.

18:41, Thu 23 Feb: Sir Constantine Godalming rolled 25 using 1d20+10.  fort save 3.

18:41, Thu 23 Feb: Sir Constantine Godalming rolled 17 using 1d20+10.  fort save 2.

18:38, Thu 23 Feb: Sir Constantine Godalming rolled 14 using 1d20+10.  fortitude save.

The wiki indicates that Nishka's Emporium (The Agent's Office) is right off of the Hub, so it seems like it would be pretty close.  Tremaine has moved 60 feet from the Inn so far, and should be able to double move or run next round, getting him to between 120 feet and 150 feet from the Inn.

In reply to Tremaine Allard (msg # 36):

Ok, I'm going to ask the other GM's. The Librarian should know how far and how long it would take you.

I thought the saves were made before Varlian's spell was cast too, which might give them all a +1.

*nods* Yep, and that is why you don't roll dice in advance, you never know what bonus or penalty you have to take into account at the time :)

Heck that is true.....

I noticed  that I forgot to add those bonuses to my attack/damage rolls either.

DM's call on whether I should revise my last post.

I'm not going to allow it for the previous rounds, but you can change your post in this round. I don't have a problem with that. I always allow that, but after I update, then I usually don't let people post things they forgot to do.

Sir Constantine, I'm going to assume that was a Fort Save, and not a Perception Check, right?

Sorry for the confusion....
I revised the post because with the +1 I passed the fourth fortitude save (that I had listed as a fail).

I will make the saves round to round from now on.....

Is it possible to cast spells from the entrance of the inn at the demons, without entering?

In reply to Lysande (msg # 44):

I'm only letting the cloud fill the inn's common area due to the way the Dretch have spread out in the inn when they leave the portal to attack the patrons that are all throughout the inn.  At the moment  that is about an area of about 80' sq ft. So, I will allow it.

In reply to Sir Constantine Godalming (msg # 43):

Not a problem, I assumed as much, and so as not to slow the update, went ahead and went with it.

Oh good a Vrock concert!

I believe Varlian's prayer is down to 8 turns remaining now.

I demand 'Stinking Cloud' be banned from use by PCs and NPCs alike, based on the Geneva accords regarding the use of Chemical weapons! :P

In reply to Varlian (msg # 48):

Oh right, I forgot about subtracting the rounds from that. Thanks for the reminder.

In reply to Zaineb (msg # 49):

Hilarious, hahaha!

I once had a group of PCs set a bunch of Cloudkills off across an enemy army camp - and decimated it.  It made the next day's battle much easier  :)

There are several Saves that need to be made, so if your within the ranges, make sure you post your save(s) too.

All creatures except for demons within a 30-foot radius must succeed on a DC 22 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based. Jacqueline, unfortunately this would include you. You are within the range.

Everyone still in the inns common room will need to make a Fortitude Save DC 13 or become nauseated. Any creature that succeeds on its save but remains in the cloud must continue to save each round on their turn.

Everyone in the common room of the inn needs to make a Wis Save (DC15) – or be fascinated by the babbling clouds for 2d4 rounds.

14:23, Today: Jaqueline rolled 21 using 1d20+2.  Fort save DC22.

Actually that is +1 from Prayer, so 22. Saved!

That would really limit the use of my aura of purity hex.....which to be clear was selected prior to any of this happening.....Unfortunately the local brewer was away at the time....

Don't worry, you will find plenty of use. Which monsters care about the Geneva accords?

Lysande would like to cast a 'Web' spell blocking the rift, rsp. everything coming through the rift would first get stuck in the web. However, I have no picture if that would entangle any defenders. Obviously she would not want to do that.

Can she cast the spell safely? Are the shadowy creatures incorporeal and thus ignore the web anyway? Knowl.Arcana 11. I guess not. :P

In reply to Lysande (msg # 57):

A 20' ft. radius spread would likely encompass both friend and foe alike. The size of the inn's common area is currently about 30' ft square.

@Greb: I don't see why not in answer to the coup de grâce question.

@Everyone: Remember that the Fortitude Saves still need to be made if you re-enter the inn's common room.

With Air Bubble cast, I won't need Fort saves, will I?

In reply to Greb (msg # 60):

Nope, you are safe.
