This is what I now have in terms of Rituals.

You're all looking pretty good.

Sorting out the threads now.

Haha, another poor soul running two of the same game at once!

I kid, it's a blast.

Threads are up. When you're happy you're as ready as you're going to be - get out there and roll init. Good luck all.

Group 1

Group 2

Hi there Scipion. The test drive was a little hair-raising, but we all made it :)

I actaully posted before you announced it! Woo me, being in the same timezone!

Any Ideas on why the new thread wont Rss?

Board bugs? Been a few of them lately.

Just a note to warn you all that I'm away all weekend at a wedding and chances are good that I won't be able to get online. Leaving Saturday morning and due back Monday afternoon.

Cool. Have fun!

Hiya, Rev. Am still reeling from work. I'll post on the IC when I get some sleep, if you don't mind. Thanks.

For Rev

Rad - done.

All, if the hotel has decent internet, I'll try and update, but am making no promises.

Back. As you'll have guessed, there was no access over the weekend. Internet - yes indeedy. Functional computer - not so much.

Question: how much time has passed since the test run, since we used AP and Dailies?

You're assumed to have had an extended rest, so all dailies restored and one AP to play with.

Lureene can roam again if you want.

You read my mind, he he

And one fight down for team 1! How are we doing on Dailies and APs, folks? Lyan used 1 daily, and managed to save his AP, but burned through a number of surges.

No dailies, 3 surges though!

Used 3 surges

Saved all dailies and my action point.

Same here except I've used my AP.

Looks good. I'll have your next section up today.

And we get four attack rolls off to start the fight, none of which broke 8. We are mighty!

Mighty poor, I guess my mockery didn't quite hit home. Simon Cowell will now lambast me!

"You call that vicious? I'll say one thing, it was atrocious!"

Trust me when I say that with only a solo monster to control, I can roll truly horribly for turns at a time.

EDIT: Having said that, I have once again managed by bypass Lyan's unfeasibly high defences. Rolled a 1 against Samson to balance it up mind you.

I knew there was something I'd forgotten.

Could you all rustle me up wishlists and stick them in your profiles. Items of up to level 16 please. As is often the case, the adventure is vague on treasure, but for once does make sane suggestions for the placement of it. All I have to do is remember to place it.

** spoiler omitted **

Thanks! I've been slow to get my wishlist together, I'm sorry. I've been quite busy at home. I'll try and have it done by the end of the week!

Ditto. I've been swamped at work lately. and school started last week so I've been insanely busy. Will get mine posted as soon as possible.

There's no huge rush, but when you have a moment, it would be helpful.

Arishat's wishlist now sits at the end of her profile.

Thank you.

Re-dotting.

What would be a good watch order for us? Maybe do 2 at a time?

Two at a time seems sensible. Pair off Barel, Kidlat and Arishat with Lynore, Tavar, Thom. Ideally with someone in each pair having decent Perception - Arishat has +5, so will possibly notice a ghoul attacking her though not if it's attacking someone else.

I like that grouping

Pair off Barel, Kidlat and Arishat with Lynore, Tavar, Thom.

Sounds good to me.

Arishat will lose Bloody Ending this level. Picking from: Blade Burst Trap (immediate reaction, an ally gets hit, another ally gets to MBA all adjacent enemies); Unified in Blood (an ally gets bloodied, Arishat attacks whoever did it and the ally gets an MBA); Grim Mark (shift, attack, mark and daze); Jarring Assault (decent damage, attack roll penalty). Unless someone has another suggestion.

dont forgot to look at the changes, in character builder if you are using that. Lots of races stats have changed and some feats are gone

Thom has leveled up...and he lost Burning hands and picked up Entangling Force.

Looking good. If anyone finds a feat no longer exists or suchlike, let me know. Go ahead and replace it with something intelligent anyway, but I'd like to know if you do make changes.

Retrained the feat velvet blade trick for melee training dex

removed Gloom thief encounter 1 to learn my new encounter Spectral Assailants

Arishat is updated. Blade Burst Trap replaces Bloody Ending. Everything else seems to still work as before.

It looks like the Paizo messageboard has eaten my post in the game thread. It says I made one, but I can't see it. Quoting it here in case that's the case for anyone else.

"Hey! Pay attention to me, you ugly creature." Being blind seems not to bother Arishat much, as she tries to distract the bodak. "It makes it much easier for Lynore to hit you that way."

61/86 hit points, 6/7 healing surges, dazed and weakened (se both); blinded (Thom's zone)
Commander's Strike, Lynore attacks B2, 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 2 - 2; (10) + 19 + 3 + 2 - 2 = 32 vs AC; 1d8 + 11 + 4 + 4 + 6; (1) + 11 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 26 damage
Saving throw, 1d20; 14
I'm wondering with regard to Agonising Gaze, who actually takes damage? It sounds like any attack I grant means damage for the person making it, which isn't something I particularly want.

Kidlat seems to have vanished into the ether so Celestial Healer will be joining Group 2 shortly. He is planning to cook up a different character rather than take over Kidlat, which is fine by me. This is the Tomb of Horrors and anything can happen.

Rad, if you catch this, no insult is intended to you, I just cannot continue to run him along with all the other DMing and I'm really not doing him or the party justice either.

I'm thinking striker, probably melee. Monk, perhaps. I'll have something up by the end of the weekend.

Excellent.

Let me know if you need bringing up to speed on the events so far.

if it helps make your decision we are : assassin, warlord, wizard, warden, cleric

Welcome aboard. This is your warlord speaking, wishing you a happy stay.

If it'll help, we've got pretty good coverage on skills, decent ritual magic, and plenty of in-combat healing. Just be aware that Arishat feels perfectly entitled to hit things with you.

And she is good at it

Welcome Heavenly Bandaid!

Looking forward to meeting your character in the tomb somewhere...if my character makes it through this encounter. He is currently laying on the floor after a single glance from a bad guy, but I hope that he is able to get back up and kick some bad guy butt!

Welcome to the Party, Pal!

Seriously welcome CH, and Thom always welcomes a helping hand. He cannot speak for Lureene though, he he.
