11:23:49 <MekkisScreen> hey 'tar
11:24:22 <Avatar_> kis'
12:14:39 <MekkisScreen> one man deserves the credit, one man deserves the blame
12:15:05 <MekkisScreen> and Nikoli Ivanovich Lobachevski is his name
12:15:46 <MekkisScreen> what are you running on Saturday, avatar?
12:39:00 <Avatar_> first steps hopefully
12:39:11 <Avatar_> otherwise we be goblins
12:54:23 <Avatar_> pretty sure everyone has level 1 characters
12:54:32 <Avatar_> uh
12:55:08 <Avatar_> is it going to be a problem if canine or eidren use their characters that are playing in the sunday one

13:11:49 <***> Playback Complete.
13:11:56 <Mekkis> yay for cooking sausages at work
13:12:45 <MekkisScreen> es
13:19:37 <Avatar_> is that a yes
13:33:51 <MekkisScreen> yes
13:39:15 <Avatar_> only if someone dies in either scenario, correct?
13:39:50 <Avatar_> because they have to play both to completion
13:40:44 <MekkisScreen> it's not officially stated anywhere
13:40:59 <MekkisScreen> but it's frowned upon
13:42:33 <Avatar_> that's for doing two games simultaneously
13:42:43 <Avatar_> when you can just do 1
13:42:52 <Avatar_> but we have split sessions
13:43:36 <MekkisScreen> other people do pbp pfs
13:43:44 <Avatar_> it's not a matter of one game will take away your attention from the other
13:44:10 <Avatar_> ok so why is it frowned upon
13:44:18 <MekkisScreen> and have the pbp tying up their characters
13:45:36 <Avatar_> with play by post it would be a much bigger problem because games take much longer
13:46:01 <Avatar_> if you die in one, that other game is screwed
13:46:20 <Avatar_> for a long time
14:20:34 <MekkisScreen> still
14:21:29 <MekkisScreen> as I said, the next scenario I'll try to finish faster
14:25:21 <Avatar_> you can never guarantee that here, unless you're going to story board
14:46:13 <MekkisScreen> or TPK
17:00:15 <MekkisScreen> brunius got his cpu
17:00:52 <MekkisScreen> what a waste of money
18:05:13 <Avatar_> what do you mean
18:16:40 <Avatar-> pouring rain here
18:16:57 <Avatar-> pretty sure it was a beautiful day a few hours ago
18:33:04 <Avatar-> and pouring rain is over
18:43:48 <MekkisScreen> I think that there's a significant chance that brunius' new cpu won't work
18:46:30 <MekkisScreen> regardless, the cpu is about 5 years old
18:50:00 <Avatar> what's this about him buying a cpu
18:50:05 <Avatar> and why wouldn't it work
18:53:13 <MekkisScreen> his motherboard is about 6 or 7 years old
18:53:34 <Avatar> last night he was talking about buying my machine
18:53:44 <Avatar> which is 6 years old
18:55:03 <MekkisScreen> oh
18:55:06 <MekkisScreen> did he?
18:55:13 <Avatar> yeah
18:55:26 <Avatar> sms'd me about it again this morning
18:55:30 <MekkisScreen> he bought you machine?
18:55:36 <MekkisScreen> your*
18:55:47 <MekkisScreen> I hope you didn't rip you off
18:55:54 <Avatar> no not yet
18:55:57 <Avatar> I am still using it
18:56:00 <MekkisScreen> you didn't rip him off...
18:56:08 <Avatar> but I will be pulling it apart soon
19:08:08 <Brunius> -R'd, Avatar
19:08:27 <Brunius> Mekkis, I didn't get the CPU.
19:08:42 <Brunius> My dad did, as it's a shared computer between me and siblings.
19:16:44 <Brunius> Avatar, you wanted $100 for your old computer, right?
19:19:22 <Brunius> Blasted internet.
19:19:30 <Ballig> sounds like it's only worth $95
19:21:10 <Avatar> no man I said $500
19:21:30 <MekkisScreen> sounds like it's only worth $50
19:21:59 <MekkisScreen> I got my dual dual core xeon for $70
19:26:09 <MekkisScreen> .s
19:26:14 <Brunius> ?
19:30:16 <Ballig> offer him $95
19:31:42 <Brunius> Ohh, lightning
19:31:45 <Brunius> I might drop out
19:43:29 <Avatar> it is a solid machine
19:43:30 <Avatar> $500
19:50:46 <Ballig> it's 6 years old
19:50:53 <Ballig> "solid" isn't the description you want
19:51:55 <Brunius> Huh?
19:52:05 <Ballig> huh?
19:54:34 <Avatar> better than liquid
19:54:44 <Brunius> Did I miss something?
19:58:36 <Avatar> you missed plenty
20:01:39 <Brunius> Elaborate?
20:01:59 <Avatar> well it's a long story
20:02:54 <Brunius> Let's start off with this: Did you get BF3 from that link?
20:17:12 <Avatar> I got it somewhere else for $60
20:17:27 <Ballig> why would you want bf3
20:17:34 <Avatar> why wouldn't you want bf3
20:18:07 <Brunius> why wouldn't you want bf3
20:18:20 <Ballig> it has drm
20:20:22 <Avatar> so do a lot of games
20:20:29 <Ballig> not like this
20:20:47 <Avatar> like this and more
20:21:07 <Ballig> bf3 drm continuously monitors the programs running in memory and the websites visited by browsers
20:21:11 <Ballig> to detect cheating
20:21:17 <Ballig> and reports it all back to their servers real-time
20:22:10 <Avatar> so do a lot of games
20:22:35 <Ballig> give me three examples of games that report, real-time, all programs and websites visited
20:22:47 <Avatar> I will give you zero examples
20:23:09 <Ballig> because there are zero
20:23:16 <Avatar> because you asked for three
20:25:31 <Avatar> has zerib vanished
20:25:40 <Ballig> probably
20:25:41 <Ballig> did he ever play
20:25:46 <Avatar> no
20:25:51 <Avatar> he was here one time when he couldn't play, the first week
20:26:02 <Avatar> the second he didn't show for, he came back on a weekday
20:26:12 <Avatar> and that was pretty much the last we saw of him
20:26:19 <Avatar> he might've come back on another weekday
20:35:30 <***> Buffer Playback...
20:35:31 <***> Playback Complete.
20:35:52 <Mekkis> so
20:36:11 <Mekkis> anyone here not going to a beginner box bash this weekend?
20:36:12 <Avatar> I've really spent far too much money recently
20:36:24 <Avatar> somehow, knowing I should stop spending money, I ended up with 3 new games
20:36:42 <Avatar> that's pretty bad even when you have money
20:36:56 <Ballig> everyone but you man
20:37:15 <Mekkis> is this correct, Avatar?
20:38:37 <Mekkis> in that case, anyone up for a playthrough of one of the scenarios?
20:38:57 <Ballig> haha
20:50:18 <Avatar> yeah
20:50:20 <Avatar> you get exp don't you
20:50:38 <Avatar> like we get exp I mean
21:03:58 <Mekkis> if you play all four, you get a free boon
21:04:49 <Mekkis> in person, they're supposed to take an hour each
21:05:58 <Avatar> oh yeah
21:06:00 <Avatar> okay that's good enough
21:06:08 <Avatar> how many people do you need
21:08:00 <Mekkis> two to six
21:08:15 <Avatar> ballig, tashes wake up
21:08:26 <Ballig> what
21:08:36 <Avatar> we're playing a game
21:08:41 <Ballig> right now?
21:08:42 <Avatar> Mekkis: let's go
21:08:43 <Avatar> yep
21:08:46 <Avatar> you get a free boon later
21:08:53 <Avatar> it's a short game
21:09:01 <Avatar> we should be done by midnight
21:09:23 <Ballig> don't I need a brand new character
21:09:24 <Ballig> do you get exp
21:09:29 <Avatar> no just the boon
21:09:33 <Ballig> er
21:09:34 <Mekkis> yes and no, Ballig
21:09:42 <Ballig> what kind of boon
21:09:43 <Avatar> what's the yes part
21:09:50 <Ballig> brand new character
21:09:58 <Avatar> ??
21:10:00 <Avatar> are you sure
21:10:02 <Avatar> I don't think so
21:10:07 <Avatar> what's the story mekkis
21:10:16 <Mekkis> you need a beginner box character
21:10:24 <Ballig> they have four specific characters
21:10:30 <Avatar> so we can only put exp onto those characters?
21:10:35 <Ballig> you don't get exp
21:10:37 <Ballig> you get a boone
21:10:40 <Ballig> -e
21:10:44 <Avatar> you get the boon on any character
21:10:48 <Mekkis> or you can roll your own
21:10:57 <Mekkis> (yes, you do get to roll your stats!)
21:11:03 <Ballig> do you get the boon on any character?
21:11:08 <Ballig> or do you get it on your beginner box character?
21:11:08 <Mekkis> yes, Ballig
21:11:14 <Mekkis> you get the boon on any PFS character
21:11:22 <Ballig> what kind of boon
21:11:27 <Mekkis> not sure
21:11:42 <Avatar> as in you're not sure what it is or you're not sure if you should tell
21:11:44 <Ballig> so we're meant to play for two hours for something that might totally suck
21:11:50 <Avatar> ye
21:11:51 <Avatar> let's go
21:11:51 <Mekkis> wow
21:11:54 <Mekkis> it's really good
21:11:59 <Avatar> okay
21:12:03 <Avatar> give us some char sheets
21:12:07 <Mekkis> sure
21:12:08 <Avatar> I'll play anything but a cleric
21:12:16 <Mekkis> don't you want to roll for stats?
21:12:17 <Ballig> I'll play a cleric
21:12:21 <Mekkis> go on
21:12:22 <Avatar> sure
21:12:25 <Avatar> I'll roll
21:12:27 <Mekkis> vchargen
21:12:28 <Mekkis> :S
21:12:31 <Avatar> !vchargen
21:12:32 <diebot> Avatar, 7(2,1,1,4), 10(4,1,5,1), 17(5,6,6,1), 17(6,5,4,6), 11(2,3,2,6), 7(3,2,1,2)
21:12:44 <Avatar> can I reroll
21:12:46 <Mekkis> no
21:12:56 <Mekkis> are you complaining at two 17s?
21:12:57 <Avatar> hm okay
21:13:01 <Ballig> I'll just take a premade cleric
21:13:03 <Avatar> two 7's
21:13:10 <Mekkis> do you have the beginner box player's guide?
21:13:15 <Avatar> no
21:13:19 <Avatar> do I need it
21:13:35 <Avatar> what's a class I can take with two dump stats
21:13:37 <Mekkis> possibly
21:13:49 <Avatar> wizard probably isn't a good choice
21:13:54 <Ballig> fighter might work
21:13:57 <Avatar> fighter I think yeah
21:13:58 <Ballig> dump charisma and wisdom
21:14:00 <Avatar> yep
21:14:06 <Ballig> maybe charisma and intelligence
21:14:07 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'll run you through the character creation process
21:14:17 <Avatar> how long will this take
21:14:23 <Mekkis> choose your race: Dwarf, Elf or Human
21:14:32 <Avatar> human
21:14:46 <Mekkis> Choose your class: Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard
21:14:50 <Avatar> fighter
21:14:55 <Ballig> this is like a MUD
21:15:00 <Avatar> north
21:15:03 <Mekkis> assign your ability scores
21:15:26 <Avatar> con or dex at 17 ?
21:15:40 <Ballig> up to you
21:15:47 <Avatar> hrm
21:16:01 <Mekkis> I'd go con if I were you
21:16:26 <Avatar> str 17, dex 11 con 17, int 10, wis 7 cha 7
21:16:45 <Avatar> could be rough
21:16:49 <Mekkis> putting the +2 in str?
21:16:54 <Mekkis> for being human?
21:17:07 <Avatar> yeah I guess so
21:17:13 <Mekkis> 6 A CHOOSE AN ALIGNMENT
21:17:13 <Mekkis> Every creature has an “alignment” that indicates its general
21:17:13 <Mekkis> morals and attitude. Pick one of the following.
21:17:13 <Mekkis> LAWFUL GOOD (LG): You combine honor with compassion.
21:17:13 <Mekkis> NEUTRAL GOOD (NG): You believe in doing what is good
21:17:13 <Mekkis> and right without bias for or against law and order.
21:17:13 <Mekkis> CHAOTIC GOOD (CG): You combine a good heart with a
21:17:13 <Mekkis> free spirit.
21:17:13 <Mekkis> LAWFUL NEUTRAL (LN): You are reliable and honorable
21:17:13 <Mekkis> without being devoted to doing good deeds.
21:17:13 <Mekkis> NEUTRAL (N): You act without prejudice or compulsion.
21:17:13 <Mekkis> CHAOTIC NEUTRAL (CN): You are free from society’s
21:17:13 <Mekkis> restrictions and do-gooders’ strict ethics.
21:17:30 <Avatar> chaotic neutral
21:17:32 <Avatar> is this for real
21:17:35 <Avatar> I don't need descriptions
21:18:31 <Mekkis> choose a weapon
21:18:38 <Mekkis> that exists in p45-46
21:18:39 <Mekkis> :S
21:18:56 <Avatar> p45-46 of the beginner's box guide?
21:18:56 <Ballig> greatsword
21:19:00 <Avatar> yeah greatsword
21:19:06 <Avatar> good suggestion
21:19:21 <Avatar> or a lance if that's not available
21:19:37 <Mekkis> lance isn't available
21:19:39 <Mekkis> greatsword is
21:19:50 <Avatar> wow, this feels balanced already
21:20:03 <Ballig> haha
21:20:45 <Mekkis> WHAT’S NEXT?
21:20:45 <Mekkis> Now that you’ve chosen your race and class, you’re almost
21:20:45 <Mekkis> done! Just choose your skills, feats, and equipment,
21:20:45 <Mekkis> and you’re ready to play!
21:20:45 <Mekkis> IF YOU’RE IN A HURRY OR NEED HELP, skip ahead to the
21:20:45 <Mekkis> box about your class on the next page—it suggests good
21:20:45 <Mekkis> skills, feats, and equipment to finish your character.
21:20:45 <Mekkis> IF YOU WANT TO CHOOSE SKILLS, FEATS, AND EQUIPMENT
21:20:45 <Mekkis> YOURSELF, skip ahead to the sections on this page about
21:20:45 <Mekkis> skills, feats, and equipment, and they’ll tell you where
21:20:45 <Mekkis> to find that info in this book.
21:21:14 <Avatar> this is a once-off character is it
21:21:17 <Avatar> I don't really get to keep it
21:21:19 <Ballig> "almost done"? bullshit
21:21:20 <Avatar> isn't it*
21:21:24 <Avatar> yeah, haha
21:21:26 <Mekkis> you do for the beginner box stuffs
21:21:31 <Ballig> "just do the other 3/4!"
21:21:36 <Avatar> do you get a horse at any point
21:21:47 <Mekkis> no
21:21:57 <Mekkis> hmmm
21:22:08 <Mekkis> where the hell is the actual character sheet in this package
21:22:18 <Avatar> I don't even know what feats are good for fighters, I never play them
21:22:25 <Mekkis> power attack exists
21:22:29 <Mekkis> that's all you need to know ;)
21:22:36 <Avatar> two weapon fighting maybe
21:22:39 <Avatar> oh wait, dex 11
21:22:46 <Ballig> you do want power attack
21:22:49 <Ballig> you don't want two weapong
21:22:50 <Ballig> -g
21:22:53 <Mekkis> yeah
21:22:54 <Ballig> you'll be two-handing it
21:22:56 <Avatar> power attack & cleave are good I guess
21:23:02 <Mekkis> you only get one feat
21:23:07 <Ballig> human doesn't get one?
21:23:07 <Avatar> I'm human
21:23:12 <Mekkis> true
21:23:15 <Mekkis> forgot about that
21:23:20 <Avatar> skills
21:23:23 <Avatar> how many skill points do I get
21:23:23 <Ballig> funny that he goes human, but doesn't care about his second feat
21:23:24 <Ballig> :p
21:23:33 <Mekkis> let me check if cleave exists
21:23:45 <Ballig> Avatar: why not weapon focus
21:23:51 <Avatar> +1
21:23:52 <Avatar> meh
21:23:54 <Mekkis> (you might want to try and acquire the heroes handbook)
21:23:54 <Ballig> it'll offset your power attack
21:24:00 <Mekkis> Ballig, fighters get it at first level
21:24:05 <Ballig> do they
21:24:10 <Avatar> can I even take power attack
21:24:13 <Mekkis> in the beginner box, they do
21:24:14 <Avatar> BAB +!
21:24:14 <Mekkis> yes
21:24:14 <Avatar> +1
21:24:18 <Mekkis> fighter
21:24:21 <Ballig> fighters start with BAB +1
21:24:23 <Mekkis> BAB+1 at first level
21:24:35 <Mekkis> Avatar, cleave does exist
21:24:50 <Avatar> cleave is good in pathfinder
21:24:55 <Avatar> you cleave on every hit, not just on a kill
21:25:27 <Ballig> yeah
21:25:28 <Mekkis> skills now
21:25:30 <Mekkis> you get three
21:25:30 <Ballig> cleave isn't bad in pathfinder
21:25:36 <Avatar> acrobatics
21:26:04 <Mekkis> ok
21:26:12 <Ballig> linguistics!
21:26:17 <Avatar> flighter class skills suck hard
21:26:20 <Avatar> they don't even get acrobatics
21:26:22 <Mekkis> (tumble doesn't exist in beginner box)
21:26:33 <Avatar> yeah look scratch that point, that is a waste
21:26:37 <Avatar> 1 in climb
21:26:44 <Avatar> 1 in intimidate
21:26:55 <Avatar> 1 in swim
21:27:24 <Avatar> can we worry about equipment once we start
21:27:39 <Avatar> I'll just make sure to get a rope + grappling hook + torches + rations
21:27:52 <Avatar> I guess some armour
21:27:58 <Mekkis> scale mail adventurer’s kit
21:27:58 <Mekkis> heavy steel shield grappling hook
21:27:58 <Mekkis> your Weapon Focus weapon pitons (10)
21:27:58 <Mekkis> shortbow rope
21:27:58 <Mekkis> arrows (20) 49 gp
21:28:07 <Avatar> scale mail I guess
21:28:12 <Ballig> just get that
21:28:16 <Avatar> yeah that's good actually
21:28:19 <Avatar> that's almost identical to what I just said
21:28:35 <Avatar> cool
21:28:36 <Avatar> let's go
21:28:43 <Mekkis> where the hell is the actual character sheet?
21:29:05 <Mekkis> To create a character (also called “rolling up” a character),
21:29:05 <Mekkis> you’ll need:
21:29:05 <Mekkis> • The Hero’s Handbook (the book you’re holding)
21:29:05 <Mekkis> • A copy of the Blank Character Sheet
21:29:05 <Mekkis> • The dice from the Beginner Box
21:29:05 <Mekkis> • A pencil
21:29:05 <Mekkis> • A notepad or scratch paper
21:29:28 <Mekkis> ah
21:29:30 <Mekkis> finally
21:31:50 <Avatar> are we good to go
21:32:11 <Mekkis> nearly
21:32:16 <Mekkis> I'm just calculating stuff
21:32:29 <Avatar> my guy's name will be Lance
21:34:44 <Mekkis> http://dnd.pastebay.com/142739
21:35:13 <Avatar> are you sure you don't get one reroll of stats
21:35:18 <Mekkis> yes
21:35:28 <Mekkis> you didn't roll so badly that you get one
21:35:39 <Avatar> oh that's right
21:35:42 <Avatar> 0 modifier
21:35:49 <Avatar> or -1 or whatever it is
21:35:59 <Mekkis> nothing higher than 13
21:36:05 <Avatar> yep
21:36:07 <Avatar> we good to go
21:36:14 <Ballig> I don't have a character
21:36:28 <Mekkis> Ballig, http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/Pregen%20Cleric.pdf
21:36:33 <Mekkis> it's not uploaded yet
21:36:56 <Ballig> that'd be why it wasn't opening
21:37:04 <Avatar> yeah I was gonna say
21:37:10 <Avatar> why do PDFs insist on opening in a browser
21:37:11 <Ballig> DON'T LOOK AT MY SHEET
21:37:13 <Ballig> YOU METAGAMER
21:37:20 <Ballig> mine don't open in my browser
21:37:21 <Avatar> i can do wateva i want
21:37:36 <Avatar> cn
21:37:37 <Ballig> I was doing an impression of mavor
21:37:43 <Mekkis> Avatar, because you've got the plugin installed
21:37:47 <Ballig> when he went on and on about people metagaming by looking at his character sheet
21:37:53 <Mekkis> Ballig, should open now
21:37:57 <Avatar> what plugin
21:38:07 <Mekkis> the acrobat browser plugin
21:38:14 <Mekkis> I removed it from firefox
21:38:20 <Mekkis> now PDFs all download
21:38:38 <Ballig> two page character sheets are kind of annoying
21:38:47 <Avatar> your character is better than mine
21:39:22 <Avatar> good ability score dice rolls don't work with diebot
21:39:26 <Avatar> this is why I don't trust it
21:39:31 <Avatar> it's always fine when using my dice
21:39:32 <Mekkis> !vchargen
21:39:33 <diebot> Mekkis, 12(3,4,5,2), 17(6,6,1,5), 18(1,6,6,6), 8(2,3,1,3), 16(6,6,4,2), 17(6,1,5,6)
21:39:40 <Ballig> that would've been pretty awesome
21:39:41 <Avatar> or when you roll it
21:39:42 <Ballig> can I take those
21:39:50 <Avatar> Ballig: do a roll
21:39:54 <Ballig> no I don't want to
21:39:57 <Ballig> I want to take those though
21:39:58 <Avatar> just to see
21:39:59 <Mekkis> do a roll if you want, Ballig
21:40:04 <Ballig> I don't want to roll
21:40:06 <Ballig> I just want those ones
21:40:08 <Avatar> not to put onto your character
21:40:12 <Avatar> just to see what you would have got
21:40:17 <Ballig> if I roll he will make me put it on a character
21:40:18 <Mekkis> you can always just use a pregen instead
21:40:24 <Ballig> I am using a pregen
21:40:26 <Mekkis> (this applies to you, Avatar )
21:40:29 <Ballig> his name is Jaime
21:40:33 <Avatar> ok can I
21:40:35 <Avatar> maybe I should do that
21:40:38 <Ballig> you won't get a greatsword
21:40:40 <Mekkis> if Ballig doesn't like his rolls, he can use a pregen
21:40:46 <Avatar> but I'll get better stats
21:40:50 <Avatar> I can buy a greatsword
21:40:51 <Ballig> greatsword will be better
21:41:00 <Ballig> you won't get weapon focus (greatsword)
21:41:02 <Avatar> can I see the sheet mekkis
21:41:07 <Mekkis> sure
21:41:21 <Mekkis> Ballig, http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/Pregen%20Fighter.pdf
21:41:23 <Avatar> probably should have thought of that earlier
21:41:27 <Mekkis> he's got less str than you
21:41:47 <Avatar> yeah but I have less of like everything else
21:41:54 <Ballig> so
21:41:55 <Ballig> you're a fighter
21:41:59 <Ballig> you wanted dumpstats
21:42:00 <Mekkis> what else do you need?
21:42:06 <Mekkis> look at Jasim
21:42:08 <Avatar> dex
21:42:32 <Mekkis> Ballig, you rolling?
21:42:34 <Avatar> why is that pregen crap compared to the cleric
21:42:39 <Ballig> I'm not rolling
21:42:41 <Ballig> I have my character
21:42:50 <Avatar> it even has improved init
21:42:57 <Avatar> hey wait a sec I get 3 feats
21:42:59 <Mekkis> that cleric's crap
21:43:04 <Avatar> bonus feat at level 1
21:43:05 <Mekkis> yes
21:43:11 <Avatar> weapon focus (greatsword)
21:43:15 <Avatar> I guess
21:43:19 <Mekkis> the fighter bonus feat in the beginner box set is weapon focus
21:43:20 <Mekkis> ok
21:43:38 <Avatar> dodge/mobility/spring attack would've been nice
21:43:51 <Ballig> no you want power attack
21:43:57 <Avatar> alright I'll trust you this time
21:44:09 <Avatar> are we ready to go
21:44:17 <Avatar> I'm keen to chop something up
21:44:25 <Avatar> slic
21:44:27 <Avatar> slice*
21:44:34 <Ballig> you're going to be doing like 1d12+9 damage
21:44:43 <Mekkis> In the hustle and bustle of Sandpoint’s market, the smells of spices and other exotic aromas dance in the air. After a brief conversation with a man brandishing a mysterious golden compass, Venture-Captain Sheila Heidmarch turns around. She glance at of you, gathering your attention before she begins speaking in a low voice.
21:44:43 <Mekkis> “It has come to my attention that trouble is afoot in the small town of Galduria, northeast of our current location. The town is known for being home to the Twilight Academy, a school of magic dedicated to... unconventional topics. Reports among our fellow agents speak of the disappearance of some young thugs who assaulted a teacher of the Academy, Hazelindra, on her way home. Furthermore, rumors speak of terrors that lurk around the town’s gra
21:44:43 <Mekkis> veyard, which are being blamed on the Academy. I also heard that a strange light emanates from the graveyard at night. I believe the light, the disappearances, and the walking dead may be linked. If this is indeed the case, whatever ties the three together is worthy of investigation and research. Find out everything you can about the situation, and report back to me. Keep your work quiet.”
21:44:43 <Mekkis> With that, the venture-captain whispers to her servant, who immediately begins digging for small bags of coin to hand out. Heidmarch says, “This should be enough money for each of you to secure safe passage to and from Galduria. I look forward to hearing your report.” She turns and disappears with her servant into the crowds of the marketplace.
21:46:00 <Avatar> how much gp did we get
21:46:20 <Ballig> we go to Galduria
21:46:23 Avatar is now known as Lance
21:46:26 Ballig is now known as Jaime
21:46:36 <Mekkis> enough, Avatar
21:46:40 * Jaime removes channel operator status from Lance
21:46:40 Jaime gives voice to Lance
21:46:41 <Lance> ok
21:46:43 <Lance> sweet!
21:46:47 * ChanOP removes channel operator status from Jaime
21:47:51 <Mekkis> The journey to Galduria takes two days, and you meet no difficulty along the roads, encountering few travellers and no obstacles
21:48:25 <Lance> let's have a chat to Hazelindra
21:48:28 <Mekkis> As you approach the town, you notice that the streets are largely empty and a constant fog hangs in the air.
21:48:50 <Lance> is Hazelindra about
21:48:58 <Mekkis> The few folks walking down the streets move at a brisk pace, looking ready to break into a run at a moment's notice
21:49:12 <Lance> I draw my sword, ready
21:49:28 <Lance> ready to break into a run at a moment's notice
21:49:28 <Jaime> do any of them answer us if we call out
21:49:29 <Mekkis> Lance, make a diplomacy check
21:49:38 <Lance> what's that, wis
21:49:41 <Jaime> charisma
21:49:41 <Lance> !throw 1d20-2 diplomacy
21:49:42 <diebot> Lance, diplomacy: [1d20=16] 14
21:49:55 <Mekkis> you can't find her
21:50:03 <Mekkis> Jaime, are you calling out?
21:50:05 <Lance> was that for gather intel
21:50:15 <Jaime> yeah
21:50:18 <Jaime> "Hey! Hey, you!"
21:50:29 <Lance> we'll be aiding each other next time
21:50:48 <Mekkis> the man you called out pretends not to notice you
21:51:02 <Jaime> "What a jerk."
21:51:10 <Lance> "Maybe we should take a look at the graveyard."
21:51:13 <Jaime> "Perhaps we should check out the Academy."
21:51:19 <Jaime> is it obvious which building is the academy
21:51:32 <Lance> "Paper, scissors, stone."
21:51:36 <Lance> I hold out my fist
21:51:40 <Jaime> I hold out my fist
21:51:44 <Jaime> I pump it three times
21:51:47 <Lance> same
21:51:48 <Jaime> and then hold out my palm
21:51:55 <Lance> @rng paper scissors stone
21:52:00 <Lance> !rng paper scissors stone
21:52:00 <diebot> Lance, paper
21:52:02 <Jaime> oh
21:52:03 <Jaime> we can do that then
21:52:06 <Jaime> !rng paper scissors stone
21:52:06 <diebot> Jaime, paper
21:52:11 <Jaime> "Again."
21:52:13 <Jaime> !rng paper scissors stone
21:52:14 <diebot> Jaime, paper
21:52:14 <Lance> !rng paper scissors stone
21:52:14 <diebot> Lance, paper

21:52:19 <Lance> !rng paper scissors stone
21:52:19 <Jaime> "Well hell, Lance."
21:52:20 <diebot> Lance, paper
21:52:21 <Jaime> !rng paper scissors stone
21:52:21 <diebot> Jaime, scissors
21:52:26 <Jaime> "Academy it is."
21:52:26 * Lance curses
21:52:39 <Lance> Mekkis: your random number generator is suspect
21:52:45 <Jaime> ha
21:53:08 <Lance> we go to the academy
21:53:12 <Mekkis> wow
21:53:21 <Mekkis> this adventure doesn't say what happens there
21:53:22 <Mekkis> wtf
21:53:27 <Jaime> sweet
21:53:31 <Jaime> does that mean we win
21:53:34 <Lance> should we avoid it then
21:53:41 <Jaime> I think it means we win
21:53:46 <Lance> we can just win
21:53:52 <Lance> or get an experience point as well as a boon
21:53:53 <Jaime> I mean, the scenario DOESN'T say that we win there
21:54:01 <Mekkis> well, no
21:54:01 <Jaime> doesn't say we don't, I mean
21:54:15 <Lance> victory conditions: the players win when they go to the academy
21:54:26 <Mekkis> I come up with something and handwave it, and don't betray to the players that it's not written there
21:54:38 <Jaime> ha
21:54:40 <Mekkis> just like the fact that the White Lady is in Kaer Maga :)
21:54:56 <Jaime> is the white lady in the academy
21:55:53 <Lance> whatever
21:55:55 <Lance> we should go to the graveyard
21:56:01 <Mekkis> You approach the academy. This low-set windowless stone structure appears that it's squatting and trying to sink into the ground.
21:56:23 <Lance> we go in
21:56:24 <Mekkis> A single, iron door in its western side appears to be the only egress.
21:56:31 <Lance> sword drawn
21:56:57 <Jaime> I call out "Hazelindra! We're looking for Hazelindra!"
21:57:00 <Mekkis> A stiffly dressed man behind a desk is facing you. "Put down your weapon. They're not welcome in here."
21:57:09 <Lance> I put it down on the ground
21:57:10 <Jaime> "Yeah, is Hazelindra in there?"
21:57:13 <Jaime> "We need to speak with her."
21:57:18 <Lance> and then, realising what I'm doing, pick it back up and holster it
21:57:32 <Mekkis> "No, Haselindra is in a hut on the western end of town."
21:57:42 <Jaime> "Thanks very much."
21:57:43 <Jaime> we go to the hut
21:57:45 <Lance> "I'm bored!"
21:57:52 <Mekkis> "She's recovering from a beating that some thugs gave her four days ago."
21:58:00 <Jaime> "Sure sucks to be her."
21:58:03 <Mekkis> alright
21:58:38 <Lance> 7 wis was a mistake
21:58:57 <Lance> should've put 7 into int
21:59:04 <Mekkis> her hut is on the western end of town. Its windows are shuttered, and there's a plume of smoke rising from the chimney, intermingling with the ever-present fog
21:59:22 <Lance> "We should break in."
21:59:32 <Jaime> "Or we can knock."
21:59:33 <Jaime> I'll kn ock
21:59:52 <Mekkis> "Get away from me. Go away!"
21:59:56 * Lance looks the house up and down, searching for weak points
22:00:04 <Jaime> "We're here investigating the incident, Ms Hazelindra."
22:00:25 <Lance> "It's okay! I have a sword!"
22:00:41 <Mekkis> Jaime, and Lance: bluff or diplomacy
22:00:48 <Jaime> are we bluffing?
22:00:51 <Jaime> we are investigating the incident
22:00:56 <Lance> and I have a sword
22:00:59 <Mekkis> then diplomacy
22:01:05 <Lance> aiding
22:01:08 <Jaime> okay
22:01:09 <Mekkis> "I don't care about your sword. Go away."
22:01:11 <Lance> !throw 1d20-2 diplomacy
22:01:11 <diebot> Lance, diplomacy: [1d20=11] 9
22:01:12 <Jaime> !throw 1d20+5 diplomacy
22:01:12 <diebot> Jaime, diplomacy: [1d20=10] 15
22:01:26 * Lance begins to weep
22:01:35 <Mekkis> She calms down a bit...
22:01:40 <Mekkis> "Who are you?"
22:01:42 <Jaime> "May we come in?"
22:01:48 <Mekkis> "What are you?"
22:01:51 <Jaime> "I am Jaime, this is Lance. We're from the Pathfinder Society."
22:01:54 <Lance> "We're just trying to help!"
22:01:55 <Jaime> (right? we're in the society in this yeah?)
22:01:57 * Lance bawls
22:02:02 <Mekkis> I think so
22:02:03 <Mekkis> possibly
22:02:05 <Mekkis> yeah
22:02:06 <Mekkis> probably
22:02:21 <Mekkis> "Oh... and what sort of investigation are you conducting?"
22:02:30 <Jaime> "Do you know who attacked you?"
22:02:46 <Mekkis> "Will you report it to the watch?"
22:03:01 <Jaime> "Probably not. Should we? Haven't you already?"
22:03:17 <Mekkis> "Look, come in. We shouldn't be making so much noise"
22:03:29 * Lance stops crying
22:03:29 <Jaime> we'll go in
22:04:10 <Mekkis> She closes the door.
22:04:15 <Jaime> and ATTACKS US
22:04:21 <Jaime> (with zombies)
22:04:52 <Jaime> "So you haven't reported it to the watch?"
22:04:54 <Mekkis> "Three days ago, a group of thugs beat me up as I was travelling home from the academy: I'm an instructor there, you see..."
22:05:15 <Mekkis> "They left most of my stuff, but stole a magical item I was studying."
22:05:16 <Jaime> "What do you teach at the Academy?"
22:05:24 <Mekkis> "Necromancy."
22:05:27 <Lance> "Bah, magic."
22:05:36 <Lance> "What YOU need, is a sword."
22:06:01 <Jaime> "And the magical item was necromantic in nature, I take it?"
22:06:19 <Mekkis> "Indeed. It's a candle."
22:06:24 <Lance> I holster my waepon and start searching the room
22:06:32 <Lance> !throw 1d20-2 perception
22:06:32 <diebot> Lance, perception: [1d20=19] 17
22:06:34 <Jaime> "And it will be the cause of the undead infesting the graveyard?"
22:06:55 <Mekkis> "Once lit, it animates bodies around it, and is invisible during daylight. I don't want to be tied to this incident."
22:07:06 <Mekkis> "Those thugs might have lit it in the graveyard
22:07:32 <Lance> "Why would they bother?"
22:07:37 <Jaime> "Well, if they were regular thugs, they've probably been killed by zombies. If they're more nefarious and knew what they were doing, I'm sure we'll take them down when we retrieve the candle."
22:07:40 <Mekkis> "No idea."
22:08:43 <Mekkis> "If the undead reports are true, then chances are they did."
22:08:50 <Lance> what time of day is it now
22:08:58 <Mekkis> midday
22:09:10 <Lance> "We should stay here until dusk, then head to the graveyard."
22:09:30 <Mekkis> "Not in my hut."
22:09:38 <Lance> "What's wrong with your hut?"
22:09:39 <Jaime> "Hazelindra needs rest."
22:09:50 <Jaime> "We'll find somewhere else to wait until night. Thank you for the help, ma'am."
22:10:01 <Jaime> "Do you need us to do anything for you while we're in town?"
22:10:01 <Lance> did I find anything
22:10:21 <Lance> like a potion of CLW or something
22:10:23 <Mekkis> "I don't want them to see anyone leave from here."
22:10:24 <Mekkis> Lance, no
22:10:30 <Jaime> "Them?"
22:10:42 <Mekkis> "the citizens here."
22:10:52 <Lance> "Is there a secret exit? A back way?"
22:11:18 <Mekkis> "Nope. But get out. Now. Not at dusk."
22:11:25 <Jaime> er
22:11:26 <Jaime> wait
22:11:32 <Jaime> we can't stay here, but we can't leave because someone will see?
22:11:44 <Mekkis> you shouldn't leave at dusk
22:11:54 <Mekkis> it'd be pretty suspicious
22:11:54 <Jaime> we weren't planning to
22:11:55 <Lance> "How do we get out?"
22:12:03 <Mekkis> "The door's behind you."
22:12:10 <Jaime> we leave the hut
22:12:13 <Mekkis> ok
22:12:16 <Lance> "That lady was a loon."
22:12:39 <Lance> "Why did she chase us out?"
22:12:45 <Jaime> "She's recovering."
22:12:54 <Lance> "Maybe we should wait here. Maybe SHE'S the culprit."
22:12:57 <Mekkis> as you leave, she says, "The candle can only be snuffed out with live-flowing lifeblood, incase you care."
22:13:02 <Lance> "A stakeout."
22:13:11 <Jaime> "We sure do. Thanks!"
22:13:12 <Lance> "Oh yes, thank you for everything! So helpful!"
22:13:25 <Lance> "We'll set up a perimeter." I say quietly to Jaime
22:13:32 <Jaime> "There's only two of us."
22:13:41 <Lance> "I'll take first watch."
22:13:46 <Jaime> "Watch of what?"
22:13:50 <Lance> "The house!"
22:13:54 <Jaime> "Why?"
22:14:03 <Lance> "In case she tries to escape to the graveyard again."
22:14:27 <Jaime> "She's not the culprit."
22:14:38 <Lance> "She might have convinced you, but not me."
22:14:43 <Lance> "I'm onto her."
22:15:21 <Lance> so we go to the graveyard and set up camp yeah
22:15:23 <Jaime> we'll wait until dark
22:15:26 <Jaime> yeah
22:15:29 <Lance> watching the graveyard
22:15:41 <Lance> you sound like you're not sure if I was serious
22:15:47 <Lance> I thought you were wise
22:16:27 <Jaime> serious about what
22:16:38 <Lance> setting up a perimeter
22:16:45 <Mekkis> ok
22:16:47 <Jaime> it's not a perimeter with only two people
22:16:47 <Mekkis> as night falls
22:16:55 <Lance> map loading
22:17:01 <Jaime> didn't realise we were using CA
22:17:09 <Lance> I made a guess
22:17:12 <Mekkis> yes
22:17:16 <Mekkis> you metagamer
22:17:28 <Lance> well it's fairly obvious
22:17:33 <Lance> she told us there were going to be undead there
22:17:51 <Lance> we're basically ambushing whatever's there
22:17:55 <Mekkis> you see a flickering light piercing the cold mist that permeates the graveyard.
22:18:07 <Jaime> flicker flicker
22:18:20 <Mekkis> it seems to come from within the graveyard
22:18:23 <Mekkis> from a point-source
22:18:28 <Lance> "There it is."
22:18:33 <Jaime> I nod
22:18:57 <Lance> I guess we should attack
22:19:06 <Jaime> do we see anything else in the graveyard
22:19:08 <Jaime> or is it all too misty
22:19:24 <Mekkis> you see gravestones
22:19:27 <Mekkis> and graves
22:19:38 <Mekkis> if you approach, you'll get a better look
22:19:39 <Jaime> we'll slowly enter the graveyard
22:19:40 <Lance> I can probably go on my own
22:19:44 <Jaime> watching out for undead
22:20:15 <Mekkis> you see three dead bodies lying torn up on the graves
22:20:30 <Jaime> are they marked on the map
22:21:21 <Mekkis> no
22:21:27 <Mekkis> the map isn't in play yet
22:21:29 <Lance> what happened to the candlelight
22:21:39 <Jaime> "Do you want to check out the bodies? They might be undead."
22:21:51 <Lance> I ready an attack on bones that move
22:22:09 <Mekkis> it's coming from a small mausoleum in the centre of the graveyard
22:22:11 <Lance> power attack +5
22:22:22 <Jaime> power attack +5?
22:22:24 <Jaime> what's that?
22:22:33 <Mekkis> the +5 is the to-hit
22:22:37 <Lance> er -5 to attack +5 to damage
22:22:44 <Jaime> power attack doesn't work that way in pathfinder
22:22:48 <Lance> oh
22:22:52 <Lance> regular attack for now
22:22:54 <Lance> i'll read up on it
22:22:57 <Jaime> it's always -1 to attack and +2 to damage
22:23:01 <Jaime> until you get to a higher BAB
22:23:06 <Jaime> then it's -2 to attack and +4 to damage
22:23:08 <Mekkis> +3 to damage with 2-handed weapons
22:23:12 <Jaime> yeah
22:23:13 <Lance> okay, power attack then
22:23:22 <Mekkis> (hint, always power attack)
22:23:35 <Jaime> unless for some reason you're having massive problems hitting
22:23:42 <Mekkis> the door to the mausoleum is open, and light is pouring out
22:23:43 <Lance> yeah it's cool
22:23:52 <Jaime> are there any undead in sight
22:23:57 <Mekkis> no
22:24:07 <Lance> I go into the mausoleum
22:24:08 <Jaime> "Looks like a trap."
22:24:35 <Mekkis> ok
22:24:45 <Mekkis> are you following, Jaime?
22:24:57 <Lance> he's probably trying to stop me walking into a trap
22:25:17 <Jaime> does he get attacked w hen he enters
22:25:23 <Jaime> or does the door close behind him
22:25:26 <Mekkis> no
22:25:26 <Lance> haha, or letting me spring it
22:25:27 <Mekkis> and no
22:25:34 <Jaime> I guess I'll follow him
22:25:36 <Mekkis> A flickering candle shines like a beacon from atop a stone sarcophagus in this cold, dank crypt. Two rows of columns support the ceiling around a second sarcophagus, and six somber statues stand vigil over the place of rest. The figures throw broken shadows on the walls, giving theappearance of movement and leaving swathes of the room enshrouded in darkness. The air smells of dampness and freshly churned earth.
22:25:38 <Jaime> yeah, letting you spring it
22:25:58 <Lance> I take the candle
22:26:09 <Jaime> I cast detect magic
22:26:11 <Mekkis> at the far end of the chamber is the candle
22:26:14 <Jaime> is the candle magic
22:26:26 <Mekkis> colours and sizes please
22:26:27 <Mekkis> first
22:26:38 <Jaime> yellow medium
22:26:41 <Mekkis> then I'll determine if the candle's within your range
22:26:42 <Lance> blue medium
22:26:54 <Lance> primary colours
22:27:01 <Mekkis> ok
22:27:07 <Mekkis> so what are you doing?
22:27:14 <Jaime> casting detect magic
22:27:26 <Lance> are you moving in range first
22:27:36 <Jaime> I think you're standing where I need to be to be in range
22:27:37 <Jaime> is it 60ft
22:27:46 <Lance> I move out of the way if I am
22:28:35 <Mekkis> Jaime, the candle's magic
22:28:48 <Jaime> "Yeah I think that's it. Well, this whole mausoleum is probably filled with undead."
22:28:49 <Mekkis> make perception checks
22:29:02 <Lance> !throw 1d20-2 perception
22:29:02 <diebot> Lance, perception: [1d20=12] 10
22:29:09 <Jaime> !throw 1d20+3 perception
22:29:10 <diebot> Jaime, perception: [1d20=4] 7
22:29:48 <Lance> do we perceive anything
22:30:02 <Mekkis> nope
22:30:10 <Mekkis> nothing
22:30:10 <Lance> "Probably."
22:30:14 <Lance> I run in!
22:30:16 <Mekkis> what are you doing now?
22:30:18 <Mekkis> ok
22:30:23 <Lance> and make a grab for the candle
22:30:40 <Mekkis> Lance rushes at the candle
22:30:41 <Jaime> probably need to slit your wrist
22:30:49 <Mekkis> and several undead come out at him
22:30:53 <Mekkis> roll initiatives
22:30:54 <Jaime> surprise!
22:31:00 <Lance> !throw 1d20 init
22:31:00 <diebot> Lance, init: [1d20=8] 8
22:31:13 <Jaime> !throw 1d20+3 init
22:31:13 <diebot> Jaime, init: [1d20=19] 22
22:31:38 <Lance> 13/13
22:31:49 <Jaime> 10/10
22:31:53 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+5
22:31:54 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d20+5: [1d20=20] 25
22:32:04 <Lance> they lost a 20 out of their dice, good sign
22:32:07 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+6
22:32:08 <Jaime> where are they
22:32:09 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d20+6: [1d20=17] 23
22:32:38 <Jaime> the dark red is different?
22:32:40 <Lance> man, I don't need cleave, I need whirlwind attack
22:32:52 <Mekkis> yes
22:32:58 <Mekkis> these are skeletons
22:33:08 <Mekkis> they look like they're dressed as thugs
22:33:16 <Mekkis> except the one attacking Jaime
22:33:30 <Mekkis> who's dressed as a priest
22:33:44 <Lance> "Take that one out with you! I'll be fine here!"
22:34:22 <Mekkis> One attacks Jaime
22:34:23 <Lance> "Tell my girl back home I love her!"
22:34:31 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+7 longsword
22:34:32 <diebot> Mekkis, longsword: [1d20=4] 11
22:34:41 <Mekkis> missing (I hope)
22:34:49 <Mekkis> three skeletons attack Lance
22:35:00 <Lance> missing
22:35:07 <Mekkis> !throw 3#1d20+2 scimitars
22:35:09 <diebot> Mekkis, scimitars: [1d20=10] 12, [1d20=10] 12, [1d20=10] 12
22:35:11 <Lance> all miss
22:35:16 <Mekkis> it's now Jaime's turn
22:36:03 <Lance> that's you ballig
22:36:13 <Jaime> I know
22:36:18 <Jaime> I'll scimitar it in the face
22:36:31 <Mekkis> Jaime, knowledge(religion) please
22:37:01 <Jaime> !throw 1d20+4 religion
22:37:02 <diebot> Jaime, religion: [1d20=10] 14
22:37:27 <Lance> maybe you should have ran in
22:37:39 <Jaime> you ran in and got attacked
22:37:42 <Jaime> I had no chance
22:37:48 <Lance> withdraw
22:38:14 <Mekkis> Jaime, you know that skeletons are undead, and thus susceptible to turning.
22:38:35 <Mekkis> You also know that damage to skeletons from sources other than bludgeoning is reduced
22:38:44 <Jaime> oh yeah, I knew that
22:38:46 <Mekkis> does this change your action?
22:38:57 <Lance> hell, take the aoo
22:39:13 <Jaime> what's the range on turning
22:39:24 <Jaime> he has a +7 to attack
22:39:27 <Jaime> he's going to hit me if I move
22:39:38 <Mekkis> 30'
22:39:53 <Lance> he could roll low
22:39:55 <Lance> your AC is decent
22:40:02 <Mekkis> Jaime, I'm surprised. You evidently didn't metagame the abilities of a skeleton
22:40:02 <Jaime> my AC is like 13
22:40:12 <Jaime> why would I
22:40:14 <Mekkis> but you them proceed to metagame his attack modifier
22:40:18 <Mekkis> then*
22:40:22 <Lance> ha
22:40:23 <Jaime> that's not metagaming
22:40:26 <Jaime> it's deducing how good he is in melee combat
22:40:27 <Mekkis> yes it is
22:40:29 <Jaime> by already seeing him fight
22:40:52 <Lance> what's it gonna be
22:41:02 <Jaime> opening the core rulebook
22:41:37 <Jaime> okay was checking the AOOness
22:41:42 <Jaime> I'll channel energy to damage the priestkeleton
22:42:00 <Mekkis> ok
22:42:07 <Mekkis> roll the damage
22:42:11 <Jaime> !throw 1d6 damage
22:42:11 <diebot> Jaime, damage: [1d6=3] 3
22:42:24 <Jaime> and 5ft southeast
22:42:29 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+7 will save
22:42:30 <diebot> Mekkis, will save: [1d20=20] 27
22:42:33 <Mekkis> wow
22:42:36 <Jaime> stupid priestkeleton
22:42:46 <Lance> where are our 20s
22:42:52 <Mekkis> it's now Lance's turn
22:43:01 <Lance> I power attack & cleave
22:43:02 <Jaime> I want to move southeast too
22:43:03 <Jaime> by 5ft
22:43:12 <Lance> north and west
22:43:18 <Jaime> can you do west
22:43:23 <Mekkis> well
22:43:24 <Lance> er, east
22:43:26 <Lance> north and east
22:43:27 <Mekkis> make the north attack
22:43:29 <Jaime> you could 5ft west
22:43:37 <Jaime> that'll make you closer to me too
22:43:41 <Jaime> less for me to have to cover
22:43:53 <Lance> is my TAB +6 ?
22:44:00 <Jaime> probably
22:44:01 <Lance> that's a bit shithot for level 1
22:44:03 <Jaime> +5 with power attack
22:44:14 <Jaime> like I said, the +1s add up
22:44:17 <Lance> !throw 1d20+3
22:44:18 <diebot> Lance, 1d20+3: [1d20=2] 5
22:44:21 <Lance> fuck
22:44:25 <Jaime> what's with the +3
22:44:30 <Lance> cleave is -2
22:44:37 <Jaime> on all attacks?
22:44:39 <Lance> oh wait no it's not
22:44:39 <Jaime> or just the second?
22:44:42 <Lance> -2 to AC
22:44:49 <Jaime> yeah so you got a 7
22:44:50 <Jaime> does 7 hit
22:44:59 <Lance> I think i miss
22:45:00 <Mekkis> nope
22:45:00 <Jaime> "Come closer!"
22:45:02 <Mekkis> it misses
22:45:06 <Jaime> 5 foot towards me
22:45:06 <Mekkis> move action remains
22:45:12 <Lance> I 5ft step to
22:45:22 <Lance> K6
22:45:24 <Lance> sw
22:45:47 <Mekkis> the creature attacks Jaime again
22:45:50 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+7
22:45:52 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d20+7: [1d20=2] 9
22:45:54 <Mekkis> missing
22:46:00 <Jaime> it's going to bloody kill me soon
22:46:08 <Mekkis> !throw 4#1d20+3
22:46:09 <diebot> Mekkis, 4#1d20+3: [1d20=3] 6, [1d20=13] 16, [1d20=14] 17, [1d20=13] 16
22:46:16 <Mekkis> three hits?
22:46:17 <Lance> 3 hits
22:46:28 <Mekkis> !throw 3#1d6+2
22:46:29 <diebot> Mekkis, 3#1d6+2: [1d6=1] 3, [1d6=2] 4, [1d6=6] 8
22:46:34 <Jaime> well
22:46:36 <Jaime> Lance is down
22:46:39 <Mekkis> ok
22:46:42 <Lance> christ
22:46:45 <Mekkis> it's now Jaime's turn
22:46:50 <Jaime> is this encounter really meant for 2 people
22:46:56 <Mekkis> not really
22:47:02 <Jaime> so why are we playing it with 2 people
22:47:27 <Mekkis> because Brunius' computer is fucked after shoving an incompatible CPU in it, and Tashes_ is asleep
22:47:41 <Jaime> that says why we don't have 4 people here
22:47:42 <Lance> how are you going to balance this out
22:47:47 <Lance> because we're about to get TPK'd
22:47:49 <Jaime> doesn't say why we're playing a campaign that is apparently suicide with 2 people :p
22:48:10 <Jaime> well, suicide with 2 people when one of them charges into the fray
22:48:27 <Lance> hey, let's just say improved initiative wasn't going to help me
22:48:37 <Mekkis> heh
22:48:47 <Jaime> so Lance is unconscious?
22:49:01 <Lance> -2/13
22:49:16 <Lance> or, here's an idea
22:49:19 <Lance> how about we take half damage
22:49:22 <Lance> since we have half the players
22:49:23 <Jaime> ha
22:49:33 <Jaime> that won't really save us
22:49:44 <Lance> should balance it
22:49:48 <Jaime> it won't
22:49:50 <Jaime> you'll just last another round
22:50:06 <Lance> we can withdraw out can't we
22:50:11 <Mekkis> what Jaime needs to do is take the AoO and channel the other skeletons :S
22:50:13 <Jaime> while surrounded? not really
22:50:18 <Mekkis> and roll high on the channel
22:50:21 <Jaime> I can move 20 feet
22:50:32 <Jaime> I guess I will try that
22:50:34 <Lance> that'll put you in range
22:50:34 <Mekkis> channel range is 30
22:50:34 <Jaime> 20 feet east, channel
22:50:39 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+7
22:50:40 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d20+7: [1d20=16] 23
22:50:42 <Jaime> hit
22:50:47 <Jaime> don't do 10 damage, damn you
22:50:47 <Mekkis> !throw 1d8+1
22:50:48 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d8+1: [1d8=7] 8
22:50:51 <Jaime> 2/10
22:51:02 <Mekkis> roll the damage
22:51:04 <Jaime> !throw 1d6
22:51:05 <diebot> Jaime, 1d6: [1d6=4] 4
22:51:08 <Jaime> that's not really high
22:51:14 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+7 will
22:51:15 <diebot> Mekkis, will: [1d20=14] 21
22:51:18 <Mekkis> what's the DC?
22:51:32 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20-2 will
22:51:33 <diebot> Mekkis, will: [1d20=5] 3
22:51:38 <Jaime> 11
22:51:41 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20-2 will
22:51:43 <diebot> Mekkis, will: [1d20=5] 3
22:51:46 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20-2 will
22:51:47 <diebot> Mekkis, will: [1d20=19] 17
22:51:49 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20-2 will
22:51:51 <diebot> Mekkis, will: [1d20=7] 5
22:52:00 <Jaime> still about to die horribly
22:52:04 <Lance> yeah
22:52:07 <Jaime> even if I'd killed the last guy
22:52:08 <Mekkis> mmm
22:52:21 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+6
22:52:22 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d20+6: [1d20=2] 8
22:52:39 <Mekkis> !throw 1d20+6
22:52:40 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d20+6: [1d20=17] 23
22:52:42 <Jaime> hit
22:52:45 <Mekkis> !throw 1d6+2
22:52:46 <diebot> Mekkis, 1d6+2: [1d6=4] 6
22:52:49 <Jaime> TPK
22:52:53 <Lance> gg
22:52:54 <Mekkis> damn
22:52:57 <Lance> did we get our boon
22:53:03 <Jaime> that wasn't exactly a surprise :p
22:53:09 <Mekkis> you need to do all four to get the book
22:53:10 <Mekkis> boon*
22:53:16 <Lance> oh
22:53:18 <Lance> hm
22:53:20 <Jaime> we did most of one
22:53:25 <Lance> does a passing cleric come by and revive us
22:53:30 <Mekkis> I'll let you mark that off
22:53:30 <Jaime> ha
22:53:32 <Mekkis> Lance, no
22:53:34 <Mekkis> you die
22:53:35 <Jaime> revive us and kill the last remaining undead
22:53:38 <Mekkis> but...
22:53:47 <Mekkis> you can roll up another character for the next session...
22:53:58 <Jaime> we aren't doing all 4 tonight are we
22:54:01 <Mekkis> no
22:54:05 <Lance> why not
22:54:09 <Jaime> because it's midnight
22:54:13 <Jaime> and we just TPKed in one of them
22:54:16 <Lance> life begins at midnight my friend
22:54:20 <Jaime> do you think the other three will be more balanced?
22:54:20 <Lance> literally
22:54:22 <Mekkis> because Lance is dead
22:54:34 <Mekkis> and Avatar needs to roll up a new character
22:54:45 <Lance> yeah but that's quick
22:54:50 <Mekkis> well...
22:54:53 <Mekkis> get started then
22:54:59 <Lance> ok
22:55:02 <Lance> human, fighter
22:55:06 <Lance> !vchargen
22:55:06 <diebot> Lance, 18(6,6,6,5), 14(2,1,6,6), 13(3,5,4,4), 17(6,6,5,3), 7(3,2,2,2), 13(6,1,6,1)
22:55:07 <Jaime> can he just use the same one
22:55:11 <Mekkis> no
22:55:15 <Jaime> ha, even better than last time
22:55:15 <Mekkis> his stats have changed
22:55:16 <Mekkis> ja?
22:55:17 <Jaime> but seriously
22:55:19 <Jaime> we aren't playing more tonight
22:55:27 <Mekkis> agreed
22:55:34 * Mekkis removes voice from Lance
22:55:40 Jaime is now known as Ballig
22:55:41 <Lance> 18 str, 17 con, 14 dex, 13 int, 13 wis, 7 cha
22:55:59 <Lance> power attack, cleave, weapon focus (greatsword)
22:56:04 <Lance> and all the items and skills from before
22:56:11 <Ballig> that doesn't mean we're playing again tonight
22:56:21 <Lance> that's like the fastest character creation ever
22:56:26 <Ballig> doesn't mean we're playing tonight
22:56:36 Lance is now known as Avatar
22:56:39 <Avatar> party pooper
22:56:45 <Ballig> it's midnight and we just TPKed
22:56:46 <Ballig> :p
22:56:52 <Ballig> the other three aren't going to be less of a TPK
22:56:54 <Avatar> life begins at midnight !!!!!!!
22:57:04 <Avatar> they are with these stats
22:57:05 <Ballig> that makes no sense
22:57:06 <Avatar> did you see what I rolled
22:57:10 <Avatar> that was going to be my reroll
22:57:14 <Mekkis> Avatar, two more skills
22:57:17 <Ballig> what's the difference? you have some more int, wis and dex?
22:57:18 <Ballig> big deal
22:57:20 <Ballig> that wouldn't have saved you
22:57:21 <Mekkis> more str too
22:57:22 <Avatar> oh nice
22:57:28 <Avatar> dex certainly would have
22:57:32 <Ballig> no it wouldn't have
22:57:36 <Mekkis> yes it would
22:57:40 <Mekkis> with the +2 to dex
22:57:42 <Avatar> my AC was 15
22:57:45 <Mekkis> none of those attacks would have hit
22:57:52 <Avatar> 15 with cleave
22:57:56 <Ballig> wouldn't have saved him
22:57:57 <Mekkis> well... two of the attacks were 16s
22:58:04 <Ballig> it was 16, 16, 17
22:58:12 <Avatar> yeah so with dex
22:58:14 <Avatar> that would've boosted it
22:58:20 <Ballig> would've saved you for maybe one round
22:58:22 <Ballig> still would've been a TPK
22:58:26 <Avatar> that was all I needed man
22:58:27 <Avatar> one round
22:58:32 <Ballig> you didn't do anything
22:58:34 <Ballig> I did all the killing
22:58:37 <Ballig> and I was about to die
22:58:41 <Avatar> I delayed your death
22:58:44 <Ballig> they have DR/bludgeoning
22:58:46 <Avatar> you should be THANKING me
22:58:58 <Avatar> so ungrateful
22:59:10 <Mekkis> Ballig, with Lance's damage bonus, the DR's meaningless
22:59:21 <Avatar> Mekkis: can you update my sheet and give me the new link
22:59:22 <Mekkis> unless he rolled a -2 on 2d6, it'd kill them
22:59:23 <Ballig> your face is meaningless
22:59:27 <Avatar> with uh
22:59:32 <Mekkis> skills?
23:00:00 <Avatar> is ride useless?
23:00:06 <Mekkis> not sure
23:00:22 <Avatar> you said I can't get a horse
23:00:41 <Mekkis> what the fuck
23:00:43 <Mekkis> I was wrong
23:00:49 <Mekkis> why is mounted combat in here
23:01:23 <Avatar> okay so I'll take mounted combat instesad of weapon focus
23:01:33 <Avatar> 1 in ride
23:01:33 <Avatar> and
23:01:41 <Mekkis> thank god
23:01:47 <Mekkis> mounted combat doesn't exist
23:01:54 <Mekkis> (the feat at least)
23:01:59 <Mekkis> and you can't not take weapon focus
23:02:06 <Avatar> why not
23:02:11 <Ballig> it's a set bonus feat
23:02:15 <Ballig> and why would you even want to not take it
23:02:16 <Avatar> oh
23:02:16 <Mekkis> because it's what fighters take
23:02:27 <Ballig> there's a reason they force you to have it in the beginner box
23:02:54 <Avatar> well forget ride
23:03:01 <Avatar> 1 in knowledge dungoneering and 1 in engineering I guess
23:03:02 <Mekkis> it's interesting how Razmir is featured so much in the Hero's Handbook
23:03:11 <Avatar> that's all that's left
23:03:17 <Avatar> forget handle fucking animal
23:03:19 <Mekkis> engineering doesn't exist
23:03:37 <Avatar> perception?

23:07:12 <Mekkis> do you want a teaser of the boon?
23:07:17 <Avatar> yep
23:08:10 <Mekkis> Death Walker: Your sundry adventures and brushes with death have instilled in you a lust for life and a passion for the Open Road, and clerics find your soul is eager to rejoin your body.
23:08:33 <Ballig> pretty sure my soul would be eager anyway
23:08:44 <Avatar> eagerer
23:08:49 <Avatar> it's a typo
23:09:50 <Mekkis> (there is some mechanics to the fluff too...)
23:10:12 <Avatar> I can't guess what that is
23:10:18 <Avatar> surely it can't be as shit hot as it appears
23:10:26 <Mekkis> what does it appear to be?
23:10:37 <Avatar> something like reroll a killing blow
23:10:42 <Mekkis> oh
23:10:47 <Mekkis> it's better than that :)
23:11:03 <Ballig> probably a free res
23:11:28 <Avatar> could use a free res
23:11:35 <Ballig> on lance?

23:15:17 <Mekkis> note to self: kill Buck
23:15:18 <Avatar> probably
23:15:22 <Avatar> he almost died in city of strangers
23:15:35 <Mekkis> you met Kernnigahn?
23:15:44 <Avatar> don't think so
23:15:59 <Mekkis> Ballig, were there any Andorans?
23:16:17 <Ballig> probably
23:16:34 <Ballig> and no, I didn't read up on kaer maga in order to roleplay what appeared to be a random person
23:17:03 <Mekkis> alright
23:17:09 <Mekkis> I'll run Godsmouth Heresy then
