Re: [OOC] The War Room

Exactly!

I actually remade the concept for Pathfinder Society, and ended up making him an Investigator with the Ancient Elf heritage for Detect Magic and Read Aura, and the Archaeologist background for the flavor.

Very similar concept, but a little different execution. What's nice is that the Investigator can also take the Trap finder class feat at first level, so he still has the skills for finding and disarming traps, and picking locks.

No because normally I am. :)

Also sorry about my silence the last couple weeks.

Now that I'm through 'the darkness' I'm getting caught up. Gotta say December through February is rough for me mentally with mental illness.

In reply to Yalandlara Vallindel (msg # 207):

Hey Yalandlara, glad you are doing a bit better. I have been struggling with depression for over 30 years. I didn't think that I had Seasonal Affective Disorder too until I moved from Vancouver where it is dark and dreary all winter to New Brunswick where even though it is much colder and the winter is longer the days are bright and there is so much more light (most of it reflected off the snow) through the dark months. I noticed a marked improvement in my mental health over the winter.

I haven't actually posted yet - sorry about that. This week my daughter is off school so next week I hope to get into things a bit.

Yeah I live in Indiana. 18th for Depression in the US. So not good. We're pretty up there. But a lot of mine also stems from other things too, things from my past, my time in the military, etc etc.

Re: [OOC] The War Room

Hmm...my first PF2 game was AoA and we got up to more or less where this group is now when the GM's schedule changed and I couldn't play any more.

In that game one of the first things we did was nose around this place and IIRC I got a spear through my foot :-/

I'll avoid using any of my meta knowledge for this bit. I do actually remember some of it as I was taking notes for the group.

Re: [OOC] The War Room

@GM:  Thanks for the primer on the Goblinblood Wars.  However, one bit missed is how long ago did they happen?  I was going to include a little personal flavor in my comment, something like, "My mother's uncle was killed in that war," but that may be ridiculous if we're talking about 150 years ago, or merely 10 years ago.

I see from this:  https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Goblinblood_Wars that they were in 4697 AR to 4701 AR, but I couldn't find anything that said what year it is now, for our characters.

Re: [OOC] The War Room

It technically varies from AP to AP but it seems like current year as of the Core rules is 4721.

Re: [OOC] The War Room

If I'm understanding correctly, there's Dmiri, a half-dozen other half-orcs with weapons, and perhaps three others up on the platforms?

Re: [OOC] The War Room

I need to know elevations. Are Dmiri and the other two above us on a platform? Is there room to run underneath the platform? Can the door to the cabin be seen from where Maerk is at? How high off the ground? Etc.

Re: [OOC] The War Room

Yeah alrighty let's run through these questions:

Dmiri + 4 bandits are visible

The platforms at I14 and T16 are 10' off the ground with a visible rope ladder. Not low enough you can likely directly attack the people on it without some kind of enlargement spell but not ridiculously high up either.

https://2e.aonprd.com/Actions.aspx?ID=33

It counts as a ladder so the DC 10 is super easy but you want to roll anyway because a critical success means you can get up the entire ladder in a single move action. Otherwise a normal success means 2 actions to climb with a bit of wiggle on either side because the ladder eats up 20' of movement per 5' climbed.

The platform Dmiri is on is also 10' up off the ground and you can see the ladders on either side. There is another platform in the middle that goes up another 10'. The guard was originally located here but came down when Dmiri climbed up.

Yes you can run underneath the platform.

Yes the door to the shack is visible. I didn't go over Dmiri climbing up in her introduction, apologies for the confusion. She did not use the ladder but instead hopped up thanks to a very good climb score and using the tree at S11

I had thought that Dmiri was down on the ground with us.

I thought I had jumped the gun last turn, and you applied it this turn.  I'm glad to go again if I can.

When in doubt, just post anyway! I can handle if things are posted out of turn order. Anyway, let the game continue, it has stalled for too long!

Re: [OOC] The War Room

Neza, I think that is a roll where you may want to spend a Hero Point to reroll your d20!

Re: [OOC] The War Room

Oh!  Good idea.  GM, Can I do that?  That is, reroll the attack roll but keep the damage roll?  It's a little exploitative, I think, because you're supposed to decide whether or not to reroll the attack before you roll the damage at all.

Are we even using Hero Points in this game?  I noticed that my character sheet has no value in that slot, but that is likely just my oversight.

Re: [OOC] The War Room

Maerk should get a reflex AoO on Dmiri... I'll post IC tonight.
