Oh that's NEAT. My healer in another game uses https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic...-p/pathfinder-pouch/ to hide important magical items. The fact it doesn't register via Detect Magic is *amazing*.

Does everyone have boots or do I need to arrange alternative transportation for folks?

In reply to Tidale Stromgurd (msg # 171):

They're not magical but yea, also a diving suit! ^^

Who are we waiting on?

Maybe people are a bit confused, maybe they don't know how to tell if they have boots... Tidale is going to move forward to see if the doors are evil soon.at this point he'll trust divine guardianship but kinda hopes someone with experience in the trap department comes along.

Just picked up talespire, gonna see if it runs on my linux pc when i get off work, if it does, I'll build some maps for you with it

If the slab monster is evil and not a horde then that will be a Smite rather than a slash. Because +4 to hit and damage with another possible +4 damage all ignoring DR and getting +4 to AC(20base) until it dies makes a paladin a damn nightmare to evil creatures.

In reply to Tidale Stromgurd (msg # 176):

Each floor block is an evil stone golem.  Each floor block is 2.5 × 2.5 x 2.5 ft, meaning there are around one million evil stone floor block golems in this level.

Why are there so many and what are they protecting.  And, more importantly, who or what are they protecting it from?

We can deduce that the target definitely moves across the floor due to the methodical placement of the blocks and the probably deeply involved rituals that may have been needed.

The party is probably not the target, as Greb has noticed haphazard traps on the ceiling, sort of an afterthought by the denizens that prepared this arrangement.

Why didn't such a capable being or group take the treasure with them? Or, could it be bait for their trap?

So it IS a horde. No smite then. Were we able to see below any that moved to track Greb?

No, you can't see below the stones yet.

Here's a quick sketch up in tailspire

I'll have to go and do the full accurate build over the weekend for the map.  It's a massive structure, this floor alone is 500ft by 500ft (100 x 100 squares).

Tidale, as you entered and stopped to use detect evil, you've been standing on the evil tiles without them doing anything other than being evil

I saw that greb and tidale didn't have pictures in their descriptions so i went to try artflow for it, but i couldn't get it to work right lmao

And now everyone knows a little better why we don't have pictures. LOL. A lot of artwork has difficulty taking the aquatic creatures and giving them short hair, as though they're offended by not having flowing locks on a creature that comes out from the water. I mean how often do Olympic swimmers let long hair flow? Is there not a reason behind this... Oh well it's not like heavy armor on aquatic creatures isn't its own issue.

*twiddles thumbs*

You know that in game time you all have spent less than a minute at the building.

If you are concerned, you can take out a rowboat from the yacht and make camp outside the building to monitor the area for a while, or go into downtime. Or experiment.  There are a lot of options available, you don't have to be laser focused on this area.  Remember your mission, research the area and collect artifacts.

I'd say that flower is a great find.  You can turn it in at the yacht for 500 exp.

Edit 2: as this is a research mission, there is no need to put yourself in harms way.  However, there are all sorts of baddies to clobber if you want to pummel mooks

I feel like wanting to explore the area, maybe more for the literally 20000 golems in the way. But I guess since we aren't paid to do that and Tidale is seeing himself more on the cartographer and guard side then he might suggest a different area for the time being.

I'll post to that effect in the next while.

Giving a heads up I *am* around but kinda fubar'd my left hand so posting will be lacking for a bit, sorry all.

In reply to Dove Lenari (msg # 186):

No problem

I'll spend my own hero point to give you information.
If you walked on the monster tiles, they wouldn't have attacked you. In fact, Tidale has been standing on them this whole time.

Sorry I've been down so long, my hands on the up and up to the point I should be able to get a post up. Bear with me as I catch up please!

Sorry for the delays; I've late for thesis deadlines.  Will post when I get a bit caught up.

In reply to Mrauow Rristk (msg # 190):

No problem

I'm dialing back processing actions a bit during exploration so that you all get a chance to post.  I'll start processing exploration actions once or twice a week from now on, probably on Sunday or Monday.

I feel this may make my posts clearer and keep the internal timeline synced up.

Resolution of protective effects rolling order for this game:

1: Blink
2: Mirror Image
3: Blur
4: Displacement

So, if an enemy attacked you and you have all of these affects, they'd first roll 50% for blink, then percentile for images, then 20% for blur, then 50% for displacement

That's for the party.  Should a monster choose to cast all of that, they would just use a 50% miss chance and percentile for images.

I sort of like how this seems to have come up... I wouldn't have thought about it otherwise.

I want to throw some baddies for the party to clobber, but I'm worried about spooking you all.  I've been mulling over it since Saturday and figure I'd just ask, would you be fine with a combat encounter that looks scarier than it is?
