The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC

[PeacefulOak]

DDW is down, for sure.

Almost dead dead, in fact. This fight is ROUGH.

[farothel]

That's really annoying, as he had the one sword that could do reliable damage to these things.

[Ghostfoot]

DDW is down, for sure.

Almost dead dead, in fact. This fight is ROUGH.

DDW was hit twice for 4 + 4 damage. If the first 4 damage dropped him, which I think it did, then you can ignore the second hit for 4 damage. I'm not that mean to keep them attacking when you're down (& they're not that focused).

Yup, is a very tough fight. I probably shouldn't have made it quite this hard for you .

That puts me from -5 to -1. Either way is fine with me.

-1 it is then. Only a little bit dying...

MOSTLY dead, is somewhat alive!

Everything comes back to the Princess Bride (or Robin Williams).

Happy 2nd anniversary to our Northlands game this week. Here's hoping for many more!

2 years! I hadn't realised it had been that long.
Apologies for the absence we had a family emergency that is (happily) resolved

Glad to have you back & that your family crisis has worked out okay.

Sorry that you are now unconscious & dying .

[farothel]

I hope one of the survivors knows healing (or has healing magic) or it's going to be difficult. I certainly don't know (and I'm not sure I'll survive anyway, standing on 1HP as I am right now).

Yeah, these things happen
This is one very mean fight!

As long as Elissa is among them, she can do a bit of healing magic.

Sorry I've been radio silent for a long time. We're neck deep in a cross-country move, and having things delivered today. I'm gonna post now, but it may well be a few more days before I can scrounge the free time again.

Edit: another spectacular roll. At least I scored a hit last time. If there's room, Elissa can spend a turn bringing Freyja back up.

[PeacefulOak]

(1d20-1)[12] to stabilize, need a 10 total

Woohoo!

[Starbin]

Well thank the gods y'all made your stabilization checks ...

[farothel]

They both had like 8 more rounds. Even if they hadn't now, they would have eventually. But better late than never.

And I noticed I have a potion of cure light. I guess that will come in handy soon.

EDIT: that potion will probably be good for me, although it might not even bring me back to 0. I'm at -6 at the moment.

[Starbin]

Yeah, we're hurting ... but quick question - did the other mephit incur an AOO from Heltienne when it attacked Bjorn?

[Ghostfoot]

I don't think so...it dropped 5ft so is now on the ground, and then full attacked (or vice versa). I don't believe either of those provoke AoO.

[PeacefulOak]

It is situations like this that make me really appreciate 5e's over-night healing mechanics.

Having a rough combat and being down for a week of in-game time is -rough-, especially on games with timelines.

Or Pathfinder's 2e healing checks, which actually do something.

[DrK]

Yeah, we're hurting ...

Its a brutal encounter. Thanks for the attempted healing even if flummoxed by your typical dice rolling

[farothel]

I guess it's Ghostfoot now, or does someone else has to do something (I'm out cold, so except for stabilization checks there's little I can do).

[Ghostfoot]

It's with me....I just had some minor surgery so not feeling so creative these last few days...perhaps tomorrow

No problem. Health first, PbP second.

[Ghostfoot]

The grind is over. No more fights like that for a long time, I promise.

Signy First Aid checks on everyone to stabilise (as needed)

Heal (1d20+4)[23]
Heal (1d20+4)[9]

Good news is that since you survived you can all proceed to Level 2 .

Good to know. Bjorn will be weak for a while I guess. And he will want to know more about those things (I'll pick my skillpoints accordingly).

How do we do it with the Hitpoints? Roll, Half+1, full?

[Starbin]

From the Big 16

9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points?

PF 15 point buy

Max hp for 1st level. Half max + 0.5 (rounded up) thereafter.

EDIT: Firat, that was the most anticlimactic, unheroic win my character has every experienced. Second, do we stay at current HP’s? Or go to max?

It definitely ended up more about survival & endurance than heroism.

Re: hit points, you'll gain the full amount of new HP for the new level, but you'll still be injured and down the same amount from your new total (so Heltinne will still be down 8HP from her new total of X HP)

[farothel]

Okay, I've done my update. I've taken power attack as my bonus feat.

My next regular feat will be diehard I think. Auto-stabilize sounds like a good idea.

Copy all. Wen another level of oracle - +1 BAB/Wis save, skill points, extra orison. Sheet updated.

[Farmerbink]

Hah. Hahaha.

Oh dear. XD
