Oh, I see. I didn't realize that was the intent. Morale bonus are not always Mind-Affecting, but for those that are, if Nar is under the mind-shield, which would have required her to fail the save for it in the first place, the bonus would apply, yes.

 I didn't even think about that! The more I get buffed, the harder it gets to be more buffed...
 I guess it is something that will need to happen outside of combat.

 I don't if we're still waiting on some before we can move on IC.
 Also if the save is a fail, I will use one of my re-rolls ;)

The DC for the save is 26, so if you all agree that it's not mind-affecting, it is indeed a fail. Hence my questioning over whether that would cause protests. So, if you want to use a re-roll, by all means, go ahead.

I've just had a lot to do, but I'll have an update up tomorrow for certain.

Forget magic. The real sorcery in this game is remembering all the rules!

In reply to Supervisor of reality (msg # 681):
 That is if I’m aware of the effect right?
 If I’m unaware I get a further +4 insight bonus :)
 (Nar purposefully not looking towards incoming danger!!)

If this doesn’t apply, I’ll re-roll

I don't see any way that would apply here, you know the enemy is coming and are in fact transporting people at a slower pace than you normally could just to get a good look at what the enemy looks like. I think that's more than fully aware there's serious danger incoming.

Fair enough!!
Nar rolled 31 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 14.  Luck Aegis Re-Roll

As a healer, Iona would generally want to be one of the last teleporting away since she'd need at least some proximity to people she would need to heal if it came to a fight. That said, she'll lower her initiative to match the ally that rolled the lowest. If everyone beats the serpent's roll she'll teleport out with everyone else, of course.

I just read the Julunggali stat block, it would have been a challenging fight!!
They is suspect you edited slightly, seeing as it would have beaten us all on initiative if it were the standard, which is pretty scary seeing as it rolled a 1 !!

Yeah, the standard initiative result for the creature on the sheet wasn't reflected in the creature actual stat - when I counted what it should have, it was +12, rather than +21, and since I couldn't find those extra +9 points, I decided that was a typo. But yeah, the creature would not have been an easy fight, if you had to fight it - or, at least, that's my hope; I did edit a bit the mythic abilities since those grant "immune to all not-mythic stuff", which obviously would not have been viable in your situation.

I'm pretty sure it's:
+4 (improved initiative)
+8 (mythic improved initiative adds Mythic Tier to initiative)
+8 (Amazing Initiative ability at mythic tier 2 grants bonus equal to tier to initiative)
+1 (dex)

I'm glad we got away without a fight though, I think that would have been a much tougher fight than the mithral golem.

I see! I didn't realize the Mythic ability added the bonus twice. Still, that's the sort of mythic absurdity I was mentioning, so even if I had realized, I would likely only have counted it once, on account of limiting the amount of mythic power I was allowing the creature to have.

But yes, it was meant to be way stronger than the golem, considering what it was guarding. :)

We really need to get some of that Mythic for ourselves. Somehow.

With 400hp and able to cast Heal 3 times, we would have needed to dish out 1600hp worth of damage :/

It's two separate mythic abilities, each on their own adding tier to initiative. One is the mythic version of the improved initiative fear, and one is the baseline ability all mythic entities above tier 2 get.

But yeah, mythic is just crazy bonkers/ broken. It was a nice idea, and I like some of the abilities, but too many are just "add a huge bonus to this number"

Agreed. Too much line go up, and nobody would ever use the cool abilities like being able to grant divine spells.

Same here. Which is why, as I said, whenever I resort to creatures with Mythic power, I will likely cut down on the numbers and immunities (like I did this time), while keeping the cool abilities. Not like it should come up too often, I just was stumped for a properly competitive aquatic creature that wasn't already slotted for someplace else, and so resorted to going through the mythic creatures until I found an interesting one.

Well, it's worked in our favor in an unexpected way then.

Also, if the Asmodeans decide to tackle the challenge as well, they now have an angry snake guarding the teleporter. :P

Maybe we should have talked to the snake, looks like they were nice.

Has anyone been tracking XP? Or do we all have different totals?  I recall GM saying it was our responsibility...  I lost count of my own, unfortunately.

     308 XPs: Character creation, level 15
     +5 XPs: Collected Sword and Coin Tokens (Team XP)
     +3 XPs: Defeated Mythral Golem
     +1 XPs: Didn't Murder the Aquarium
     +3 XPs: Escaped the Julunggali

^ This is what i have, with 22 XPs per levelup, so 10 more to go.

I'm pretty sure you earned some XP in the wood segment of the challenge, didn't you? I would need to double check, but you had a couple of fights there and I do generally award points for most fights - the exception generally being when the fight was avoidable and gained you nothing yet you triggered it anyway, but none of those was the case.

If anybody has the information, speak up about it, otherwise tomorrow I'll comb through the threads and double check.

Also... no comments on having found your first Pass Card (other than the one you started with)? That's some genuine progress toward winning the tournament, in a way - I'd have expected more of a reaction.

Well, I just got on. :P

Diata is not that concerned about the cards compared to getting the marks, though - but that's because she's advocating for a 27-point win.

That makes sense, although it's not like you can win without collecting twelve pass cards first, it's sort of a mandatory step.

Don't forget about the revelations on the secret fourth mark that the Asmodeans told you about - you refused their deal, so you don't have any proof they were telling the truth, since that was one of the things the deal was offering, but the idea has at least been presented.

Point being, it feels like we'll incidentally pick up the cards in the process of acquiring all 27 marks. (As for the secret marks, Diata will believe it when she sees it. Obviously, if she learns that it's true, she'll upgrade her target to 36 marks.)
