Missed a bracket.

[MrAbdiel]

Tru. But Babs can’t get less than a 19, right?

I certainly can get more though: (1d20+18)[34]

[Molan]

That'll do it! You guys are clear to act out of initiative order.

[MrAbdiel]

Rolling like ass.

...But a highly trained, nigh-invisible ass that lunges at its targets out of silent obscurity, catching them flatfooted. I hope 22 will still be enough.

[JbeJ275]

Fixing the roll: (4d6)[12]

[Molan]

Good LORD and that was 6 days without me doing anything.

All I can say for myself is adulting is hard and I'm bad at it.

In any case even with a broken sneak die macro we did it! The thugs outside are all pretty much dead or unconscious. Their ACs actually weren't terrible but the attack roll gods were mostly with you during this first phase.

How we getting into this prison?

Dang. And now I've waited another 7 days. I'm sorry about the long lags guys. Just been feeling overwhelmed lately. Didn't mean to drag things so bad.

[MrAbdiel]

It's alright man; we are grown ups and the greatest advantage of the PbP Medium is you don't need to sheepishly cancel the game when things get busy. It just slows down until you can get back. :)

I'm holding off on posting until Barbara's spell results come back - we're on a roll.

Thanks bud lol.

[Molan]

Okay, new post finally up. What do we think will open the door?

[MrAbdiel]

Apparently, something to do with Professor bloody Pyg! The plot thickens!

And grossens!



Some kind of biometric scanner by way of arcane? A way of protecting against dopplegangers? Hmm.

Either way, I think we're gonna be best just avoiding this one. I'm not sure we're best served spending time figuring it out!

Damnit accidentally deleted my reply lol.

Anyway yeah, Pyg sucks but he's also sloppy and messy; Oracle is at a point in her build where she can identify and analyze other magi's spellcraft in her sleep -- I'm remembering how she cut through like 400 magical traps and illusions draped over Tetch Hall.

But the hole's a good idea, if the girls aren't feeling claustrophobic.

[MrAbdiel]

Yeah, the hole is the main plan to extract prisoners out through the castle walls as well, but one obstacle at a time!

My meta-knowledge about Pyg (almost exclusively from the Arkham games by the way Molan how are you handling the travesty of Rocksteady's SSKTJL debacle) is that he's a crazy surgeon, so maybe the 'key' to these locks is some kind of deliberately made scarring, say on the palm, which dopplegangers can easilly replicate but anyone else cannot. Hmm.

When this castle is seized by the city I'll be interested to know the truth.

1. Anyone want to make a search check? Based on what Oracle is already doing IC.

2. Ugh. Barely worth talking about. Rocksteady made a bad Game-as-service title, people said it was bad, and then they're like "ugh screw making real games, we're just going to focus on game-as-service releases. Every video game company is basically Boeing now lol.

Prob have to cut my rant off there before I get hit with the banhammer.

[MrAbdiel]

I made a search check! It was a 20!

Also, is this roughly the map shape of what the eyes detected?

[JbeJ275]

LEts see my search check: (1d20+22)[26]

[Feathersnow]

Sorry, I've been very distracted with a loss in my family, and, when I did have the spoons to actually check my messages here, the forum was down...

That said, I cannot beat Bab's roll with a +2 to the die.

Yep! That was actually a really great rendering thank you for doing that. We can imagine Oracle kind of sketching that our for the team bases on the Eyes scan.

26 passes! I'll post IC.

I'm so sorry to hear that Feather. Of course it's no worries at all!

[Molan]

Okay, magic hole or front door disarm?

[MrAbdiel]

I think with his Longstrider potion up, Damien has enough movement probably to run through the wall to the ? room on the left, bypass it, and get to the magic items room on the other side, with a few feet to spare to double back into the other room if it's safer. Strictly it's a matter of Damien deciding which of those two rooms seems safest to remanifest in and ending on that side of the wall, then deploying the hole again.

Does that make sense, Molan?

Edit: Given that those guards at the junction are there next to windows, I'm not sure there's many options not to have to subdue them eventually. But if they're facing the jail we can reach through the bars and choke 'em out?

MAN!

I have been trying to post for over a week, and every time I log into GITP the site just like, *will not load*! Any suggestions?

Sorry about that guys.

[MrAbdiel]

Sorry man, all you can do is persist. It goes through fluctuations of server gridlock where the page fails to load, massive wait times, and then (like now apparently) total normality. They're trying to figure it out, as far as I know.

My only advice is to draft stuff in a word processor (if you're not already) so you can just Ctrl+P it and post it when it's finally responsive.

That's a good idea. In any case I *FINALLY* posted IC so you guys can decide how you want to maneuver next.

[Molan]

I added some dialogue prompts to just kind of continue to move things along since I was all effed up for two weeks, play out Damien's theory a bit. Let me know how you guys want to try to access the main hall.

[JbeJ275]

Sorry, usually I'm super on board with these prompts but hre I did have somethign of my own to go on and just wasn't free to do so for a while. Will post now with the actual reaction.

Fixed! I'll post tonight with your scan results.

[Molan]

Does anyone else need to delete that spam post in IC or is one report enough? I already reported it.

[MrAbdiel]

Err... It just occured to me, when you say vaguely humanoid haemonculi in the next room, do you mean like.. horrible flesh constructions?

Like... Dollatron monstrosity sort of things? :O
