It's more convenient for me to take snapshots of the maps in the PDFs and upload them. Mainly because I'm not familiar with how the scanner I have at home works.

IIRC, Diamond Lake is supposed to be more like Torch in Iron Gods. It's designed to be a hometown, so it's given enough detail for people to make up backstories, but the PCs are also sort of supposed to want to leave it and only come back a few times.

You should also bear in mind that the PCs aren't really intended to leave Diamond Lake until Encounter at Blackwall Keep, and aren't intended to reach the Free City until Hall of Harsh Reflections. Erik Mona described Diamond Lake as a "gauntlet". So PCs need stuff to do while they're there.

It's worth noting that Diamond Lake also originally had nobody in town capable of performing resurrections or reincarnations.

I think Sandpoint suffers from the same thing...

Thistletop and the Catacombs of Wrath are nowhere near as PC-killing friendly as the Whispering Cairn & the Triad shrines. By the time you get to a legendary PC killer (the end of The Skinsaw Murders) you're in a major city with oodles of clerical options on hand.

I'm fairly new to Ride-By-Attack, so let me know if I've misunderstood it.

Is this the only combat round scheduled for today, by the by?


Female Kobold

Pretty much. Rounds will get quicker as more enemies fall, but then they'll probably get slower again while I'm at Paizocon (oh, yeah, I'm going to be heading off for Paizocon Thursday).

EDIT: Oh, did you mean within the context of the Games? Yeah, you guys aren't gonna have any more battles scheduled for today—other teams will be fighting afterward.

Carina do you mind heading southwest? It looks like the only non-pitted elf is that way.

Yar, that's what I was wondering about. Debating on whether to use my Quick Runner's Shirt during this whole deal.

It's likely we'll be Leaving the Coenoby tonight to do some snooping, so might be worth keeping some resources in reserve.

What! Leaving the Coenoby? Eben, you little rule-breaker . . .

It's still gonna be pretty crowded tonight, but we might be able to have Sombra go scout it out. I mean, technically, she's not even part of our team.

RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32, 2011 Top 4

Tonight it goes from thirty teams to six. That's pretty uncrowded. Tanith and Carina can actually have sex without rolling over a sleeping ogre!

Sombra can scout, sure, but we can also be smart about it: I think Eben & Astraden can disguise ourselves as guards and, if we get caught, work on bluffing our way out of it. 'Raknian wanted to question this group! Thinks its fishy how weak they're supposed to be and then they crushed the opposition in their match today!'.

It might be better, now, if you guys head southeast to back up Astraden. The elves are on the ropes, and if they and Draconic Blood get polished off in the same round then our healer is surrounded by Badlanders.

I hope not..

But yeah, some backup would be nice. I wonder if we could convince Joren to help us take down Sapphire Squad first before the final battle, though.

RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32, 2011 Top 4

I was hoping we could pick up Badlands as allies once it came down to three teams too. They're more damaged and would ultimately be an easier kill in the finals. But what probably would have happened is that they and the Sapphires would have recognized the six of us (presumably with nobody taken out yet, as opposed to them having at least one loss apiece) as a bigger threat and teamed up on us.

But since Rodrigo just attacked them mid-alliance, I imagine it's a moot point.


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

But only one team walks out of here anyway.


Female Kobold

Uh, Tanith, is that "AC 20" including your buffs?

Bah! This airplane wifi is terrible,

Tanith's buffless AC is 20. With mage armor, shield, iron skin, and haste he's 34. I messed up that line when I edited my resources.


Female Kobold

Yeah, I had a feeling it should probably be higher. :P

Have a good flight, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Oops, I was looking at the map wrong. Turns out Astraden wouldn't have gotten that flanking bonus.

Tanith, did you roll your Fortitude saves vs. stench?

Sorry about slacking on the post today--just completed my honours thesis, edited it, and handed it in. Spent the rest of the day decompressing.

I'll get a post up shortly. :)


Female Kobold

Oh, it's fine. I can pretty much only post once per day at this point (or, technically, twice every other day—it's midnight now, after all).


Female Kobold

Speaking of which, a post will be up in the next hour.

You guys still blow me away with your posting speed. Reassures me that there are still bigger nerds than me out there. What was your thesis on, Carina? By the way you spell honours I assume you're from the UK or one of its less rebellious former colonies...do you have to write a thesis to graduate with honors where you live?

My thesis was on social anxiety in first-year university students. :) I had to write it to earn my Honours Equivalency--I'm already a Psychology undergraduate.

And I'm Canadian.

So you'll get like a BSc Hon? Or a BA Hon? Interesting...I don't think we have that at my university. I'm American (prolly obvious). I'm hoping to graduate suma cum laude...I've been busting ass and kept a 4.0 so far. Cross my fingers it'll stay that way.

For those who missed it, that was just a 20, 19, 18, and 17, in that order. My dice are reallyyy f!%#ing with me now.

Edit: Just noticed the damage rolls are also 4, 3, 2, 1, though that's not nearly as spectacular.

RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32, 2011 Top 4

A question about the finder permutations of Action Points:

If I spend an AP to emulate a feat, and that feat is one that would normally have an effect lasting multiple rounds, would the effect in game only last one round, or would it carry on as normal?

For instance, this came up this morning when I was wondering if I should use Improved Dirge of Doom to get a 60 foot area. It was a moot point, because Korush and Buddy were way beyond 60 feet, but it left me wondering how that would have worked. Would it only affect enemies 60 feet distant for one round, or would that 'use' of dirge of doom still act as though I had the feat until I stopped it? Or, third possibility, would I instead need to spend an AP each round to keep it going?

Liberty's Edge

Male Underpowered Warrior 1

I think how we've run it with Improved Channel has been that it lasts for the duration of the effect. Don't quote me on that though.

I was just rereading some earlier rounds of this fight, and there was one where KC rolled four 1s in a row.

I think Eben might accidentally be telling the truth with the whole 'we stole your luck' thing.

Sorry, guys—a post will be put up either tonight or tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Are the bats close enough to the ground that Tanith can attack them?

Female Kobold

My Swords and Wizardry let out at the characteristic hour of 2:00 am, so...tomorrow afternoon it is.


Female Kobold

No. They're a bit above Carina—I haven't had the chance to check her elevation.

RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32, 2011 Top 4

Carina only just now elevated (in response to the bats attacking). Prior to this round, she was at ground level with Tanith.


Female Kobold

In that case, yes, he can.

Liberty's Edge

KC would like me to pass on that his train home is not great for internet and his post will either be up very late tonight, or tomorrow.


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

He said that yesterday. =p


Female Kobold

I did, and I'm sorry. The train had wifi on the way in, but there was a very different train on the way out. The wifi was extremely limited, as was my space to work or write (or, you know, sit).


Female Kobold

In reality, I don't really know how mount horses work (I like to interpret them on the more magic-y side, personally, but I don't know that that's RAW), but Tanith didn't have the movement free to try to spook the horse anyways. :P

If there's a tactical reason to want the horse gone, I'll reconsider, of course.

Oh, I just remembered something that just happened.

RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32, 2011 Top 4

Huh, I'd assumed Rennida had a higher CL. Guess she took the cheap and easy route to AA.

It's not super important. The idea was to just to get the horse out of the way.


Female Kobold

It can shift a bit. The horse does not serve as a barrier to anything—it doesn't resist attempts to go through its square, nor does it take AoOs.
