OOC stuff, please post here.

In reply to aFate (msg # 1):

Bobble is imported and ready to go.

Conan is imported and ready to go.

Ok, I will be starting either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Here is my color for speaking   It is suppose to be coral but it looks a lot like Orange, which is OOC.    So I think I'll use THIS COLOR INSTEAD.

In reply to Conan (msg # 5):

Bobble will use purple.

I will be online all day if you want to post quickly.

In reply to aFate (msg # 7):

I just got back from shooting. Updating as I can. See my reply to Conan

You are each getting 660gp(2800/5 +100) worth of stuff and the town is paying full price (not 1/2 which will be usual), so the gold is being split evenly.  Basically anything you don't want is being sold and the gold added to the split, I just want to see who gets what from the loot.  He is probably wanting to save for a mw Long Composite bow with str and he already has a bow.

Ok but the Ioun torch would be perfect for Bobble as a rogue. Free hands while working on traps, etc. Bobble will take the wand of clw unless the lady wants it.

Bobble you're going to have to handle the diplomacy or knowledge local roll because Conan has a zero in diplomacy and no knowledge local or history.

Diplomacy is right up Bobbles street. 15 charisma helps. Did you see my note about the loot?

The way Loot works;
1- I add up the "what you can sell it for" value## (usually 1/2 the "buy it for" value)= total treasure amount(TTA)
2- divide TTA by shares (3 = Conan,Bobble,Makoto), that is your share
3- if there is an item in the loot you want, you subtract its "what you can sell it for" value from your share and that is your new your share
4- if there is an item whose "what you can sell it for" value is greater than your share, then you owe other shares the difference.
5- anything not claimed is assumed to be sold for its "what you can sell it for" value

## if you want, items like wands of clw and similar items can be designated as GROUP loot and their value is separate.  These are items that will be used for the benefit of the group as a whole, even though they may be written on an individuals character sheet.

in this case the TTA was 2800 + 100gp each = 3300
3300/5 Conan, Bobble, Yin, Yang, Makoto) = 660
660 = 500(wayfinder)+1(20 arrows)+75(Ioun torch) and 84 gold pieces
660 = 375(wand of clw)+50(potion of jump) and 235gold OR
      375(wand of clw)+50(potion of jump) and 85gold+150(scroll of invisibility)
660 = 25(scroll of obscuring mist(cl 1)) and 635gp

Ok let’s let Miko (?) keep the wand of CLW. I didn’t realize the UMD target was so high. At +5 it’s not worth it so sell that as well. I don’t know what witches can or can’t use.

Since the group is splitting (CBM YY) I would suggest we do the following to split the cost of the wand between CBM(=ConanBobbleMakoto).

660 = 500(wayfinder)+1(20 arrows)+75(Ioun torch) and 84 gold pieces
660 = 50(potion of jump)+125gp for wand and 485gold OR
      50(potion of jump)+125gp for wand and 335gold+150(scroll of invisibility)
660 = 25(scroll of obscuring mist(cl 1))+125gp for wand+125gp Loan to Conan for wand and 385gp

And have the Group (CBM) buy the wand for 375 which is 125gp each.  Makoto will give Conan a 125gp loan that Conan can pay out of the next treasure haul.

Ioun torch for everburning torch is a separate deal between Conan and Bobble

Sounds good to me. I propose that we have some sort of turn system for selecting magic items that can be useful to more than 1 character. I will skip the scroll of invisibility and take the gold.

Sounds good to me too.   Having been watched over by monks his whole life, Conan isn't greedy nor has he taken a vow of poverty either but Bobble made some valid points when he was sorting out the loot.

You guys can ignore any activity in the other game.

Please remember;

That was weird, for awhile there I kept getting a "404 page not found" while trying to access the game.  It seems fine now.

I will post tomorrow AM, probably several rounds or until something changes drastically.  I assume Bobble fights defensively and Conan tries to take them down.

If you want, you can post If, then actions. Like;

If Conan drops Goblin 1 I will move to X

just saying, don't waste your actions.

When you use the dice roller you need to put in "Reason for roll".  If it is not filled in the rolls wont count.  Case in point;

.

posted last rnd at 1450, bobble posted at 1511; Why so many rolls?
15:04, Today: Bobble rolled 24 using 1d20+9.
15:04, Today: Bobble rolled 10 using 1d20+9.
15:04, Today: Bobble rolled 6 using 2d4.
15:04, Today: Bobble rolled 4 using 1d6. -sneak attack
15:03, Today: Bobble rolled 8 using 2d4. -damage
15:03, Today: Bobble rolled 22 using 1d20+9. -confirmation
15:02, Today: Bobble rolled 29 using 1d20+9 -Crit
but what are the rest?

Conans I can figure out, +9 is his attack, the +4's are a crit from the dog.  But where are the damage rolls?  Do you really want me

In reply to aFate (msg # 23):

Honestly I have no idea where those upper rolls came from. I did the lower rolls for attack and Crit confirm and damage. I have been getting some glitches when I try to back out of the dice rolling page so that may be the cause. Only +7 with Conan not flanking.

Why?  All he is is;

I will check and respond wed am.

Wow, that was close.  While you can post incharacter post battle reactions/emotions/etc.. and actions.  There are no more encounters, so I will post an epilogue and loot list, probably tomorrow AM.

BTW, most of the dungeon was 1-2 level encounters.  The Sinspawndog and FleshwarpQueen were 3-4 level encounters.  But I am adding some good loot.

OK, that's all for tonight.  If you want to post incharacter stuff...feel free.  I will continue the epilogue tomorrow.

And start leveling up to level 3
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:02, Thu 30 Apr 2020.

I am still looking for the next adventure, how are you guys doing at leveling up and buying things?

Bobble is leveled up. Still working on selling and buying. Mostly ready to go.

3rd level feat = two weapon fighting

Would you guys be interested in playing boardgames online, it free.

https://en.boardgamearena.com

In reply to aFate (msg # 30):

Just a little more to do than done leveling up then comes my buying of stuff.

In reply to aFate (msg # 30):

I am not able to right now. Char is in crisis mode so things are not great here.

Well, to be fair, there is a little crisis going on right now...keep a stiff upper lip my good chap.

Thus concludes CHP2, I will launch CHP3 soon.

I will be going back to work next week.  We can keep playing, but I won't be available all day.  I will respond in mornings and possibly late afternoon.

Ok cool. I will be working 6:00am-6:30pm for the next 3 days. I will post when I can.

it is cool about both of you working, maybe the govnr, of both states are going to open up soon so others can get back to some what normal.

I'll post tomorrow am.

Boyd what about my 2 terriers? I called for them to attack? They were under the wagon so could have spooked the non combat trained horses into possibly dumping their riders.

I will post sunday am, for now.  Edit your post with "what you will do if Bobble or Conan drops the leader".

Please discuss loot stuff here.  It isn't complete, you still need the reward, but it's mostly done.


 After selling the loot and dividing the gold Bobble, Conan and Makoto get 782gp each.

The group keeps a potion of cure moderate wounds (2d8+3), a wand of cure light wounds (35 charges; 1d8+1), alchemist’s fire (6), tanglefoot bags (2), caltrops and a smokestick.

This message was last edited by the GM at 10:37, Mon 11 May 2020.

Bobble will recommend we each take 2 alchemist fire.

If Conan can use it he should take the half plate, lance and warhorse.

In reply to Bobble (msg # 42):

Conan will take the war horse.   The healing stuff should be held by Makoto.   Bobble should take the bag of caltrops and one tanglefoot bag. and Conan will take the healers kit and the other tanglefoot bag.

Either one is fine for me

1d3 weapon
2d6 sneak attack
what are the +3, +2, +4, +3?

I added the initial dagger and dex damage to the sneak attack for the total

ok, that was what the +3 and +4 were, then where did the initial +2/+3 come from?

I will post next round tomorrow.

Also, you guys need to REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY need to work on your tactics.  Work to get flanks. Don't Target fixate on a non-casting leader.  THINK THINK THINK THINK THINK THINK!

My Dex bonus gets added as damage now but only with daggers

Isn't your dex bonus 4?

In reply to aFate (msg # 52):

Well crap. Umm I’m stupid

This week will be very busy at work, I will try to post, but as your can see from my latest it is minimal effort and later than normal....don't expect much until sat.

BOBBLE WHERE ARE YOU?   THE MAP SHOWS YOU AROUND B20+ AND NOT 30' AWAY FROM B4, ARE YOU AT B - C15 - 18?   LET ME KNOW SO I CAN POST WHERE I AM AT.

I think we are in the lower right corner of the map. You and I are together along with Conover

In reply to Bobble (msg # 56):

From where your pic is you're not within 30' of B4 or the Dire wolf.

Bobble, Connan and Conover are not marked on the map because I am letting you decide where you want to start.  Pick from the listed squares.

I will have an early day tomorrow so I probably won't post again until at least Monday night.
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:38, Sun 31 May 2020.

Ok I redid my post.   Probably took too many actions again just let me know and I'll fix it

If you survive this battle, instead of leveling up you can gestalt.  So Conan can be a 3rd ranger/3rd x and Bobble 3rog/3 Y.  What would you like to gestalt?

Also, I am to tired, so the next round may not be till friday.

Bobble may go fighter for gestalt until he can get to invisible blade

I will probably allow you to retrain some of your feats.

I am thinking wizard or sorcerer for gestalt. But neither his Int (13) or Cha (15) is high enough although I will be boosting one at 4th level.

I am thinking also of doing shadow dancer with invisible blade down the road.

In reply to Bobble (msg # 63):

I was thinking of going into Barbarian/ Ranger.

Sadly the treasure list does not include anything small sized, so Bobble will claim the following:

2 tanglefoot bags
2 potions of clw

Money

In reply to Bobble:

Bobble we aren't finished with the adventure, as per my last conversation with the GM on 6/10 at 10:30+am via phone.   Your conversation with him will come probably later today when he wakes up from working at 12 midnight.    Plus remember everything can be made smaller to fit your character.
This message was last updated by the GM at 16:11, Fri 12 June 2020.

What are you talking about?  He could buy stuff in smaller sizes, but that is a separate transaction.

---

Recall your job is both
1- find (and rescue) him
2- convince him that the way of the sword is not the life he romantically envisions/get Lander back on the straight and narrow.
  Basically, he is an arrogant haughty stubborn headstrong teenage noble and is used to getting his own way.  Sure, you could strongarm him into returning with you, but that is failing 1/2 your mission.  I would suggest rereading the interactions with his grandma.

---

If you don't want to role play this, I will just roll and move on.

---

Basically, you need to use diplomacy to convince him to change his ways, but there are a whole host of modifiers to this roll and you have already triggered many of the negative ones.  You get 1 chance per "encounter" and I already rolled for Bobble and Makoto (who both failed - but rolled good enough that they didn't fail by a lot).  If you fail by too much Landers attitude will worsen (so Conan might want to aid another instead of rolling himself).
This message was last edited by the GM at 16:58, Sat 13 June 2020.

Ok roll it. I’m out of ideas. Working and tired.

Did Bobble name his riding dog?  Here are his stats;
https://aonprd.com/MonsterDisp...temName=Riding%20Dog

In reply to aFate (msg # 70):

Yes his name is Tucker

You're up early.  Please copy Tuckers stats and name to the bottom of your character sheet.

At work again.

Ok, it's the weekend.  However, I am really tired and will try to post something.  I doubt if it will be a round-by-round.


Also, my browser decided it needed to update itself without asking me and I am having to try to reload all my favorites.  Microsoft = THE EVIL EMPIRE

---

With that utterly underwhelming response of shaking heads...I have decided I can't continue this game.  I don't have the time now that work has gone back to 5 days a week and your lack of any attempt at roleplaying has crushed my DMing spirit.  I will try to post an epilogue sunday.
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:40, Sat 20 June 2020.

Ok I am still debating between 3 options for the 3 levels of gestalt.

1: 3 levels of fighter. 3 feats? Improved base attack and hit points. More feats to help get required
Feats for prestige class?
2: 3 levels of Ranger. 2 feats? And free 2 handed fighting? Also human as favored enemy.
3. 3 levels of sorcerer. Ranged touch attacks with sneak attack? Could be good.

Busy, but I will be off fri for the 4th.

Bobble, I thought I was the Ranger with Human as favored enemy, please don't take that class or favored enemy.   What I was thinking of Barbarian/Ranger.    If you do go ranger with Human, I guess I can go with Barbarian/Cleric, but I'll have to talk with the GM over it.    I'll send a PM to him regarding it after this msg. is sent.

My long weekend has started, fri is for the 4th and thurs is off from less freight.  I will work on stuff...

Conan;
I think there is room for 2 rangers in the party, no need to go all 1st edition on me.  But IMO Bobble has better choices.
1st edition
To explain my 80's reference, 1st edition DnD allowed only 3 rangers per group.

Bobble

1: I would suggest looking at archetypes, Two-Weapon Warrior and Weapon Master both seem good options, or look for an archetype that trades out heavy armor.
2: While a decent option as you noted, you are not gaining any skill points, which IMO is a big reason to take ranger over fighter.
3: If you are looking at spellcasting (and touch + sneak attack = NICE!!!) you might consider Bard, Magus or Summoner.  They can all cast spells in light armor, and the summoner comes with a flanking buddy.

---

Loot;


Group Loot; Makoto's suggestions
potions of cure light wounds (8) - 4 each for Conan and Bobble?
potions of bull’s strength (2) - 1 each to Conan and Bobble?
+1 magical beast bane arrows (3)-medium sized = Conan should carry these as he is the only one who can use them

Otherwise, do you want to claim anything else?

---

I will go with Summoner as the gestalt class. It will slow down the feats for invisible blade but it sounds interesting.

Bobble will buy 1 +1 dagger. Not enough gold for a second one. He will pick up one alchemical silver dagger as well.

Character is ready to go once everyone is ready.
This message was last edited by the player at 02:27, Mon 06 July 2020.

Bobble will take the 4 potions of CLW. However as his dagger damage is dex based he will give his Bulls Strength to Conan.

Is this thing broken?

Im still working on stuff and work is still busy...

It’s ok mr DM I have been busy too. Need to call the giant tomorrow...

Ok, my weekend has started and I have next week off.
This message was last edited by the GM at 12:56, Fri 10 July 2020.

In reply to aFate (msg # 85):

Vacation or Covid shut down again?

For group consumption, Conan will take the 4 potions of clw and the 2 bull strength.   He will take one heavy mace that is +1 (at GM's advice and approval) and the 3 Magical Beast Bane Arrows.   Lastly he'll take the MOONSTONE & IVORY JEWELRY for future magical purposes, leaving him with 1600 gp's. to spend on stuff.

I am assuming 1600gp includes gp you had left.  1850 total - 1156(mace) - 250(jewelry)= 444gp.  So you had 1156(or so) gp left from before + 444 = 1600gp(or so).

Sorry for the delay, I was going to run a particular scenario, but changed my mind and am currently looking for a simpler one.

Conan, you can spend 300gp to make your Composite Longbow(+4str) a Masterwork Composite Longbow(+4str) if you want.

Bobble, did you want a Biped companion?  Cats are usually Quadrupeds, but it can be a Biped if you want, I will just need to adjust it some.

I am looking up languages now....Yes

This message was last edited by the GM at 14:31, Sun 12 July 2020.

Nah the biped thing was just a whim.

Ok, it is an eidolon so it can look stylish standing around in it's fedora, but it is normally a quad so when it "get's serious/wants to move" it uses all 4 legs and it can't manipulate things well because it has paws/claws, not hands.

Now I initially gave it the Mount evolution, but if you aren't intending to ride it you can choose another 1 pt evo.
https://aonprd.com/SummonerEvolutions.aspx

Infusions are potions we can take, once a day, right?

Yes, infusions are things alchemists create.  They are taken like potions.

---

and what are you going to do to "aid conan"?  Do you mean Aid Another or what?
Rebel is 10' behind Bobble, the image of the cat with a fedora.
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:08, Sun 12 July 2020.

We will move up in flanking positions and attack the bird, if I am close enough to get there. Otherwise I will throw a dagger.

Rebel can pounce so it gets a full attack at the end of a charge.  Also, did you keep the mount Evolution or not?

I will change it to magic attack instead. I didn’t know if he could get there in a straight line for a charge.

Did you think the 2 birds were your only opponents, mwahahaha...

---

Usually you will probably need to choose between pounce and flanking, flanking is probably the better choice.

Now that I spotted the bird and with my movement and such, I'll wait until next rnd after Yin burns it with her burning hands before I shoot my bow.   (How is the 20% chance of missing play into the 1d20+5, I would make?)

Could you please explain why the healer is the only one getting up close and dealing damage to this guy?!  This is not my job, I'm supposed to keep you healthy, while you dish out tons of damage.  You 2 are the murder machines.

Ps;  Thanks for sending Rebel.
PPS; Destiny favors the bold.

And you do realize that on the other side of the ground that does damage is a life oracle that can heal everyone at 1 time, if she can manage to survive.  Also, an enlarged Conan is 10' tall with a 10' reach, and Yin was taking 5 dam every round for you.

When I asked again I knew we were going to take the brunt of the work but most soldiers want revenge for losing buddies in the field and if we weren't here they would have to do it, themselves anyway and die trying, so what is the difference.   I think it is a mistake to force march ourselves because of lost spells, lack of a plan etc.   I do understand the need for it though and I do understand why the GM DOESN'T WANT TO BRING MORE NPC'S ALONG BUT STILL THE FOUR OF US HAVEN'T WORKED AS A TEAM YET AT ALL.

(THE REASON WHY I WANT THEM ALONG IS SO THEY CAN EITHER DISTRACT THE OTHER BAD GUYS WHILE WE PLAY WITH THE LEADERS OR TO PLAY WITH THE OTHER BAD GUYS WHILE WE DEAL WITH THE MAIN FORCE.)

The evil fey are going to a druid circle to destroy the lore stone by exposing it to light while in a druid circle.  If you don't march all night than you won't get there in time and the fey will already have destroyed the magical druid artifact.

As for bringing the gnomes along, no.  And I am not even going to try to explain why because by your SHOUTING, I don't think you would listen anyway.

In reply to aFate (msg # 115):

Yes I would listen because I wasn't shouting its just easier for me to continue to typing than to switch back and forth.    Even though it is a mistake in my opinion, I understand that time is of the essence so I will go on the expedition to the evil fey land.    My endurance feat will suit me just fine.

Sorry, I was not aware.  CAPITALIZATION is typically used in the context of shouting.  And when you shift to all caps in the middle of it really sounds like you are complaining and complaining LOUDLY!  Sorry if that wasn't the case.


What is a mistake, not taking the gnomes or traveling all night or both?

In reply to aFate (msg # 117):

traveling all night without sleep especially with so many spellcasters

After looking back I have stated this, but maybe I didn't make it crystal clear.  The fey stole a magical druid artifact called a Lorestone and are currently heading toward a druid circle to destroy it at dawn.  Apparently if it exposed to sunlight in a druid circle it will be destroyed.  The druid circle is far enough away that if you travel all night you are going to get there at just about dawn.  If you get there much past dawn then odds are the Lorestone will be destroyed.

Are you ok with the evil fey destroying the druid artifact known as the Lorestone?  Also, you know where they will be at dawn tomorrow, but after that who knows where they will be.  You would be hunting for evil fey in a fey infested forest.

About leaving the goat and mule behind, when I offered to have the gnomes keep them I was making no value judgement on whether you should or should not take them with you.  I was merely offering to take care of them if you wanted to leave them.  Much like leaving a weapon behind, why you want to choose to do so is important.  You obviously think it is a good idea, what makes it a good idea?  You need to have a reason...what is that reason?

I am curious, why were you not going to leave it with the gnomes?  Why are you going to leave it now?


I am curious, why are you going to leave your bow behind?

sat 8/22

Me thinks Conan will go down this turn for two reasons; one he got hit already for 26 pts. and two he missed his target.    He might be up one more turn without any healing because of his Orcish Ferocity.

Done with work for the week, off till tuesday.  I have posted the last round in long form.

In reply to aFate (msg # 121):

Cool. I’m working Friday Saturday and Sunday Night shift so I may not be at my sharpest...

Ok Conan, HOW are you going to..."support him", because that has NO meaning in game terms.

Bobble; by "top of the circle and inspect the pillar there" do you mean the north side of the circle?
This message was lightly edited by the GM at 00:40, Fri 04 Sept 2020.

Yes, North side

Bobble, watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRsDi5scVvo

instead of 1 dc 40 jump (10' wall = 40 with a 10' running jump), you split it into 2 lesser jumps.

sat
I was hoping Bobble would make a post to respond, with an action, to Conan's proposal.  I will continue the game shortly and hopefully Bobble will have posted by then.

Yin, I thought Amore was Italian for love not Elven, Ha Ha

That was an active and complicated round.  The Boar is almost down.


My bad, I accidentally updated msg 240 instead of posting the new round separately.  So you will notice 240 and 244 are identical and I have lost the information that was in 240.  That's the 1st time I have ever done that in a game.  oops.

---

I will fill in the short form to long form later, in the afternoon.
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:48, Sun 27 Sept 2020.

Hello all. Just wanted to say hi. Miss you goof balls!

This will not involve much combat.  It will basically come down to a single roll by the Quasit to see if he detects this as a trap or not.  I will have Yin roll a dice at home for that, so blame him if it doesn't work.  Hopefully that will be later today.

Bobbles loot is in the loot thread, if you want a memento to remember Bobble by you can "buy" his stuff at 1/2 price (except for Hemzels druid dagger, that has to be sold to repay Makoto and Yin).  Makoto is thinking about the small sized cold iron and silver daggers to use as cooking/lab equipment, 2 guard dogs and the goat as her new animal companion(until it dies) - unless someone else wants those things.  Also, Bobble had some gp on him, that is going back to his family and/or to buying a fancy memorial or something.  Conan wants the Spell component pouch.

My computer will not open my files containing the scenario I wanted to run, working on something now.  Hopefully have it posted in a while.

Hi guys. We are on a major road trip this weekend. Taking Nick down to LA to go to an inpatient facility for a couple months. I will check in on the game as I am able.

Wow, I hope everything goes better.

WARNING;
If I see you have been online after I have posted an update to the round and you DON'T post, I may take your turn for you (and I will randomly decide what you do) or you may just lose your turn.  I may do this if you take too long to post.

The songbird spell was a longshot but it had to be done.   since it didn't work by the check of 10.    But I mainly stopped because Ragnar was down and dying and I rolled my Heal check, to see if I could help him survive in someway.

Worked 4 days this week, I will get to the game sat.

Sat
Everyone gets an extra feat, but it must be related to something you have done or experienced in chp 5 so far.  Let me know what you want and how it relates.

In reply to aFate (msg # 144):

I found a 2nd level clerical spell called instant weapon or something such; where the cleric makes a weapon and it can harm incorporeal creatures.   More to follow,

School conjuration (creation) [force]; Level bard 2, bloodrager 2, cleric 2, inquisitor 2, magus 2, sorcerer/wizard 2

CASTING

Casting Time1 standard action
Components V, S

EFFECT

Range 0 ft.
Effect melee weapon of opaque force
Duration 1 minute/level

DESCRIPTION

You create a melee weapon sized appropriately for you from opaque force.

Or I can take either the Great Cleave or Skill Focus: Singing Feats but it's up to you, buddy.

You are considered proficient with this weapon, which acts in all ways as a masterwork weapon typical of its type. The instant weapon has hardness 20 and the same number of hit points as a typical weapon of its type. As a force effect, it can strike and damage incorporeal creatures. If the instant weapon leaves your hand at any time, the spell ends at the beginning of your next turn.

No, it's not up to me, it's YOUR character, you choose.

Ragnar = Iron Will
Yin = Combat Casting
Mikoto = Boon Companion

In reply to aFate (msg # 146):

I will take the instant weapon spell like ability for my weapons.   Do I get a command word or such to activate it or is it always on.   (It would have been great in this last encounter or against undead.)   I guess what I'm asking is what are the specific things that I need to write down on the feat section about this ability and also when do we go up in level?

Conan the description of the spell says 1 minute per level, so no it is t always on. Not sure how many uses per day the GM decides to give you.

wow, i am working 5 days this week...will do something on sat

Kewl

Merry Christmas to you all!

All Animal Companions and Familiars are also getting 1 extra feat, it may be any feat they can choose.

Hi guys. I am sorry if I have not been on here very much lately. Nick tried to kill himself on the night before New Years Eve. He is in a coma on a ventilator at Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane. Very bad brain damage, probably won’t make it. It has been a rough 12 days so far.

Ok, so everybody is trying to leave...I will post what happens in a few days.

1/30

Working today, so no updates until Sun AM

PS; Conan, why are you so obsessed with using the potion?  Potions should be used as a last resort when all other healing options that are free have been used or are not available.  This is Adventuring 101.  But you seem to be obsessed with using this potion...why?
This message was last edited by the GM at 12:20, Sat 30 Jan 2021.

No guys, what I'm saying about the potion is after I used it on the dog, I will use my flail now in combat and cover Ragnar while he is searching the room with the possible mushrooms.

Would you please explain what you are doing with this? Why are you doing this?  Miyogi speaks Common and Celestial so you do understand him.

In reply to aFate (msg # 156):
I was trying to be funny and give the dog something to do, and I did say have fun with the situation.   So if it was me, because I had thought of this, the bird could have come back with a remark like, CONAN CAN BE REALLY DENSE SOMETIMES, I KNOW, HUH or something like that and then see if the dog responds and so forth but I kind of changed that when that Howl came from the woods.   I was just thinking of Miyogi's and Emily's next test. A rudimentary communication feat similar to the sign language we use with primates, this is all predicated on me getting the comprehend languages ability in the future.

I apologize Conan.  I misread your post and thought you were having Conan bark and growl.  Ok, Smokey barking and growling is funny.

Sorry I have been MIA, I just can't seem to work up the energy to post.  I will try this weekend.

I guess I'm in the winter doldrums.  I need to take a break for a few weeks.  The game is on pause for awhile.

"For each negative level a creature has, it takes a cumulative –1 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks. In addition, the creature reduces its current and total hit points by 5 for each negative level it possesses. The creature is also treated as one level lower for the purpose of level-dependent variables (such as spellcasting) for each negative level possessed. Spellcasters do not lose any prepared spells or slots as a result of negative levels. If a creature’s negative levels equal or exceed its total Hit Dice, it dies."

So;
-19 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, skill checks, caster level (for the purpose of level-dependent variables)
-95hp
