(OOC) The Primeval Dark

[Mornings]

Alright! Well, before anything else, I gotta make that reflex save...

Reflex: [roll0] DC 14

Acrobatics 1: [roll1] DC ?
Acrobatics 2: [roll2] DC ?
Acrobatics 3: [roll3] DC ?
Acrobatics 4: [roll4] DC ?

Looks like I only need to move two spaces to get to the nearest part of the rope, which is great news

Climb 1: [roll5] DC 10
Climb 2: [roll6] DC 13

Let's hope for some good stuff...

Looks like I'm gonna take some AoOs, but at least I made it to the rope

Also, their to-hit is low, yeah, but so is my AC

Nice. And these guys aren't throwing around touch attacks, so you're fine.

[Stevesciguy]

Hooray! I'm not necessarily dead!

I'm totally going to regret this, but...

We're flat-footed while climbing, right? Which means the Lurks would've been targeting my flat-footed CMD, which is 18. Which means the second one would've gotten me...

Strength Check: (1d20+4)[16] DC 10

Eh, don't worry about it. They rolled trash anyways. These things are also not veilbeasts. If they were... You'd be three different flavors of dead already lol. They're different than the light eaters you saw before.

Ah, so we're not completely screwed. Cool

Ok, so they aren't veil beasts, they're veil chumps

Alright, so move action to climb to rope, then another to climb up the rope... once he reaches the top, if he's feeling helpful, he could pull out his bow and start shooting some of the veil chumps off of the others... unfortunately, Crofte is probably a goner, I don't think Erik would try to help him much, thinking him already dead

[Chromascope3D]

Side note, Kazik can climb his full rope as a move, and can still continue climbing normally with his remaining actions. The door is at A10 (15ft up from where the rope ends), so he should be out this round if he can muscle his way through the water fountain. (it's a strength check to move through.)

Erik needs to haul-ass too, before he gets grappled. He's close enough to Kazik's rope to use that to assist his climb further.

Everyone else is in a pickle.

True, but I could also use that move action to pick up whatever it was that Crofte threw, since I assume that's the same pile of boxes it landed in.

Hmm, DC 14 reflex means Kazik only has a 50% chance to succeed. I think I'm going to expend martial focus to treat the reflex as if I'd rolled a 13, giving me a 20 total.

Haha that's right, you could totes do that.just have to sift around threw the junk a little.

[Stevesciguy]

Oops, screwed up that sense motive check in the thread. Rolling here, then I'll copy it over.

(1d20+7)[16]

Hey, we had the same idea! Didn't roll too amazing on the perception check, you might find it first

[Chromascope3D]

Did Erik just climb up my rope before I could climb up my rope

Spoiler: Erik

You bet he did

That's only because I replied first, though. Also, didn't have much choice, was surrounded by three veil chumps, with a curse that stops me from healing. Had to go fast

Erik does have the fearless ability, so that shirt is quite appropriate

It's not a first-come-first serve deal. Kazik's initiative is still higher for actions during the round.
For ordering purposes, even though it's group initiative, it's: Kazik > Walt > Faux > Erik, on the stack.

Oh. Should I change my post then?

[Chromascope3D]

I know, I'm kidding around. It just reads kind of funny, like Erik saw a cenobite driving on the interstate and decided to cut him off anyway. You're just hoping he doesn't have such sights to show you.

[Stevesciguy]

RIP Crofte. We only knew ye for 30 seconds.

*cue Crofte rising out of the water and smiting Erik for suggesting we leave him behind*

[Stevesciguy]

Could Erik make a Craft(Weapons) check to discern anything about Matik's blade? That's something Erik would be very interested in.

Rolling in case of a yes:

Craft(Weapons) to learn about Matik's sword: (1d20+7)[12]

Bleh

Uh, it's a bastard sword. lmao
Result is too low to tell much else.

A bastard sword, you say? Erik's pretty handy with those.

Of course, Matik is probably handier. Bet he could kick Erik's ass into the next dimension, crazy sun-sword or no.

Eh, was worth a shot at least.

[Mornings]

alright, posted group 2. all that's left is stella.

[flat_footed]

Would Miryks be able to Aid Regina's Concentration check?

[Mornings]

Would Miryks be able to Aid Regina's Concentration check?

He can if he's adjacent.

[flat_footed]

He can if he's adjacent.

Ok, awesome. Standard Aid Another rules, i.e. I'd roll a Concentration check HD+Highest Mental Modifier?

yep. have at it.

What's with the Stella/Alicia thing? Are they two people in one body, fighting over control?

[forg99rules]

What's with the Stella/Alicia thing? Are they two people in one body, fighting over control?

Kinda, its a Veil that Stella has on her atm. She is in the form of Alicia whom is basically someone that doesnt exactly exist yet. There is still a fight for control to an extent but its only when i do something stupid that Alicia doesnt really like and so she tries to take control for some reason. If you want more you can go back to like page 10 or 11 and read what happened.

[Toptomcat]

Characters with a BAB of +1 or better can normally draw a sheathed weapon as a free action 'as part of a regular move.' 'Regular move' is not a well-defined rules category. Can a climbing move count, if it's a one-handed weapon on a worn bandolier- an alchemical throwing weapon?

Yeah, that works fine.

What's a veil? I'm not familiar with that subsystem

[forg99rules]

What's a veil? I'm not familiar with that subsystem

Not sure if they are based on an actual system anywhere or if they were developed by Mornings himself. But they function very similar to spells but are just very powerful and have a very wide variety of uses.

[Mornings]

What's a veil? I'm not familiar with that subsystem

There are 'veils' from the akashic magic system (DSP), however the Veils being used by Stella are a Mashup of a number of Monte Cook subsystems and a few take aways from the transcendence handbook for an entirely new system of magic that functions around creating metaphysical constructs of energy. These function vastly different than conventional casting, and is only accessible via potentials in this game.

What little is known about Veils has been disclosed IC. If you're interested in other players and the systems they're interacting with, it may be in your interest to go back through the IC and take a look.

[Mornings]

Nice throw by Walt.

I want to post group 1's update tonight, but dunno if that's going to happen. Busy day and pretty tired.

Also not sure if I want to deal with rolling the dice on Faux's DDoor right now...
