 <nowiki>
After a good night's rest, you wake up to another sunny day. Vegeta and Nidri chip in for a wand of swimming. The party finds instructions directing them to the Workers Home district, where they can meet their "escort".
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll need Will Saves from everyone.
Not long after breakfast, a feeling of paranoia settles in, as if they are being watched...
Vegeta: Will save 29
Hernz: that's how it went down against Majiin Buu trying to control him... ain't happening!
also, Veg doesn't have enough GPs to split a wand 50/50 lol... hoping the party can help us out... I can put in 150GPs
Cat:
Nidranisan : Will
Save	14
ohhhh yeah.
what's the total cost of the wand again?
Vegeta: 750
Cat: ok.
and it needs UMD or an arcane caster to use it?
Vegeta: I think an arcane caster who has it on their class list can use it automatically
Hernz: I hate use to hate staves and crap so I don't know the rules.... and lazy to look it up hahaha
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If it's on your spell list, you can use a wand.
Hernz: thanks chad
realtime 10/22, 7:56 pm
In the Workers Home district, Agent Midnight is talking to Happy Joe. Mostly small talk and making sure he's alright.
Agent Midnight: Are you all prepared? Our destination is three days away.
Vegeta: A sayan's always ready... but um... my friends are in the closet right now....
Agent Midnight: Of....course.
Cat: so, if we have anyone who can use the wand, nidri will buy it.
i think that's pretty much a question for claire.
Vegeta: Claire can use it... the spell in in her list
Hernz: its a basic 1st level spell
she doesn't have to know it... just be a spell she can cast
Cat: sure, well, is veg is kicking in 150 that leaves 600. if claire is cool using it anyone else can also buy in for like 150.

Vegeta coughs up the fundage
The party chips in for a fancy wand.
Hernz: we good to go? Cat? Meghan chan?
Agent Midnight: I've provided us with some camels for transport.
Vegeta: thanks... I'm sure they'll come in handy
Hernz: So watching dragon ball movie 15 (frieza returns).... he has an army of 1000 cannon fodder... was thinking that'd be fun for us to face hahaha
Btw, if you just watch the 3 minutes of credits, it's basically a recap of the entire move... skip to the end haha
Cat: lolz.
and yes, i'm good to go, dunno if anyone else is checking in this week. heh.
realtime 10/23 8:30 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hmm. Seems like people are pretty busy this week.
Cat: yeah, i can sure say it's been hitting the fan pretty hard in my world ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes, I suspected as much for you and George.
Hernz: I'm good to move on...
Agent Midnight: Prince Vegeta. Nidranisan. What is your favorite kind of tea?
Nidranisan: uh, tea?
I don't really...have a favorite. I guess?
Agent Midnight: Really? You must try chamomile. Or perhaps something simple like honey and lemon.
Nidranisan: I mostly stick with water, honestly. Less messy and fewer burns when the cup breaks.
Agent Midnight: When the cup breaks? Don't be afraid of breaking some of my teacups. I have plenty.
Well, you are free to try out some of the tea I have. I'll make sure to prepare it during the day.
Vegeta: no tea for me... a warrior must maintain a pure body which will in turn allow for better recovery and energy flow
Agent Midnight: A sensible argument. I brought an extra supply of water if you ever require it.
Vegeta: appreciate that... now how familiar are you with these lands we'll be traveling to? Any type of creature in particular we should be aware of that we might encounter?
Agent Midnight: Magmere has controlled the local population, and frightened off most predators. We'll be fighting most of their Agents, and any robots they have reprogrammed.
Vegeta: good to know... been meaning to test those metal droids
Agent Midnight: Fire, Ice and Lightning seems to be your best tools against them. Try to overload the Fire-based robots with lightning, melt the Ice ones with flame and freeze the lightning ones.
Nidranisan: Well, Claire will love the ice ones.
Agent Midnight: Ah yes. The princess told me about your challenge against the robots.
Will Claire...talk them to death?

Agent Midnight has a faint smile.
Nidranisan laughs.
Agent Midnight: Perhaps she should consider becoming a diplomat after all of this.
Nidranisan: She could.
Nidranisan mumbles something under her breath.
Nidranisan: (if she ever loses her taste for setting things on fire.)
Vegeta: perhaps a good pounding will put those robots in their place as well
Cat: ...
realtime 10/24, 8:39 pm
Agent Midnight waits for the party to finish preparations.
She also seems keen on learning their favorite flavor or tea.
Fi: So: Fire, Ice, and Lightning Elementals might be useful? I'll keep that in mind.
Agent Midnight: More importantly, though. How do you like you tea, Fi?
Fi: Camellia sinensis? Ah you mean how you prepare it?
Agent Midnight: Let me see...ah yes, I have some of that. I will be heating the kettle over the campfire. It's quite durable.
Fi: I've always been amused by how many flavors people have extracted from the leaves of a single plant species.
Agent Midnight: ...well, yes. Each region has its own unique flavors and subtleties.
Ah. Are you ready to travel, Fi?

Vegeta waits around shadow boxing
Fi: Yes, I'm always ready for travel.

Fi straps some luggage on a camel.
Vegeta: luggage? you packing for a vacation elf?
Fi: Rice doesn't grow on trees in the desert, Sayan.
At least, I don't have to over pack on water as long as I can still cast.
Agent Midnight: Then we're off. Goodbye, capital.

Agent Midnight salutes by clenching her left fist over her heart and bowing her head slightly.
Agent Midnight: she hops on her camel and heads off, out of town and into the desert.

Agent Midnight she hops on her camel and heads off, out of town and into the desert.
Agent Midnight leads the party into the desert. The large temples and buildings of the Draugh Empire soon give way to small villages and huts, which soon disappear, leaving behind vast expanses of sand.
Cat: ...i hate sand.
Despite the dry, arid environment, the party is able to travel for the first day with little trouble, thanks to sticking to the trail.
Nighttime falls, and it's time to make camp. Agent Midnight prepares tea for everyone who asked for it, taking lavender tea for herself.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You should set up watches and make perception checks.
Cat:
Nidranisan : Perception
Check	2
awwwwwwww yeah.
gonna be that kind of day.
Vegeta: scouter reading 28
Hernz: I should get a scouter at some point... we'll have to work on that as a magic item lol
Chris: Well, if we base it off of our previous watches, it would be: Hawk & Claire; Vegeta; Fi; Nidir and Fleir. Agent Midnight can choose Vegeta or Fi to keep company.
Hernz: god I hope she doesn't talk to me about tea....
Fi:
Fi : Perception
Check	26
Fleir : Perception
Check	13
Cat: fourth watch, we all die.
oh hey, i forgot my -2 chad.
so that's actually a 0. :)
George:
Hawk Hubertins : Perception
Check	19
Uhm... I missed a lot, so I'm not sure what the story is with the -2 Cat's talking about. Should Hawk also have a -2 to that?
Cat: my -2 is because i super bombed a will save everyone had to make for paranoia check (it was the second -- first was right when we arrived, second was "this morning")
Meghan:
Claire : Perception
Check	15
Hernz: oooh! we got 4 of us on at the same time! hi!!
Cat: heh.
i just leave this tab open.
Hernz: same, until it goes "bloop"
Cat: it makes a noise? i just have chrome pop up a thing that forces me to reload like once a day.
Hernz: if you don't have it as your current page, it does
when someone says stuff
Cat: ah, i leave my sound off.
Hernz: ah...
Cat: and...there's the refresh popup. :)

nice
Hawk and Claire are on watch when they hear a strange noise, like multiple people are running towards the camp from multiple directions.
Hernz: princesses always fall for the distant yet confident prince
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lol
Just waiting on Fi's Will Save. Also, however Claire decides to react.
To the noise.
Hernz: The will save, as you can see from the icon above your character's heads, is how broken hearted you are that midnight, aka princess, picked vegeta
Meghan: probably sounding the alarm
if this was unexpected.
sorry, haven't been paying much attention recently.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): No problemo. You're in the desert on the first of three days travel.
Claire sounds the alarm.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sleeping people should make a perception check, DC 0 (is anyone at a negative perception?)
Cat: with the -2, yes
Hernz: so... made
Cat:

Cat:
Nidranisan : Initiative
Check	20.02
Chris:
Fleir : Initiative
Check	11.03
Cat: er, failed to apply -2 to that...
Chris: It wasn't an attack roll, a saving throw, skill or ability check.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Initiative is a dex check.
Enemy's init 15
Chris: ok. knock everyone but vegeta down 2.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I did wonder about that, too.
Chris: Does Fleir need a will save, or is she not working for the bad people?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fleir is A-OK. Animal Intelligence! :)
Agent Midnight: Init 25
(GM) Chad S. (GM): GM's showing off his GMPC already...
Meghan:
Claire : Initiative
Check	19.01
Hernz: good, enough dex to maybe allow us to not let her get killed lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Rock falls on her, she dies
Hernz: crocodile comes in and eats her limbs, just in case
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Other rocks fall, point to you and spell "YOUR FAULT"
Circe?: Was I too loud? Welcome to Circe's game. I'm your host- Circe- and I need you to surrender quiet-like. I got a big debt to pay off, and you guys are EASY MONEY!
Chris:
Fi : Dexterity
Check	22
Why do they have the conditions checkbox if it doesn't automatically apply?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Why does who have what?
Chris: On the character sheet first page. You can pick conditions and it writes the minus penalty to the top right of the character, but it doesn't do anything with the number.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Huh. Never noticed that before. Weird.

Chris is attacking Fi with Long Bow!
Chris:
Fi : Long Bow
Attack	24
Damage	4
Type	piercing
Yeah, didn't apply it.
Fi: (groggily) Circe's game? is that tastey?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Waiting for Hawk's initiative (with the -2 penalty for being shaken via paranoia)
Agent Midnight: Circe's game? Dammit, we don't have time for this.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): To speed things up (and I don't think Hawk is gonna beat init 25), I'll say Agent Midnight grabs her weapon and quickly reloads it.
Also, please roll a K Planes check to identify the shiny blue skinned women skating towards you, wearing wizard's robes.
Vegeta: hahahaha... how about we play Prince Vegeta's game instead? I call it, you die.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Spoken like a true Sayan Prince.

George: -2 to each of those.
Round 1
Agent Midnight steps out of her tent, holding one of those weird weapons.
Chris: Now do they spin in circles and we try to find the right one?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri, Vegeta, Claire and Fi are up.
Uh, Vegeta powers up?
Hernz: full action or standard only?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Don't worry Chris, the cursor always starts on the real one.
Chris: Getting out of the tent is move equiv, right?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You are face up (or down) in the tent. Move equiv to step out, but you have a full round action.
Chris: Do you want to label them A,B, etc so I can click on them you you understand?
Hernz: then vegeta will move out first and then power up for all to see :D
(GM) Chad S. (GM): All of them have unique names.
Vegeta powers up!
Hawk Hubertins: Ice? In the desert? That can't be terribly comfortable.
Circe?: Not too bad during the nights, hun. You wanna see if I can last during the day? Bet you 100 gold I can.
Cat:

Circe?: 10 gold. Wonder if I can take another one of those.
Circe? A charges Claire with an ice axe, hitting AC 13 for 5 nonlethal cold damage
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'm gonna assume Claire has Mage Armor up, so that misses.
Hernz: uh, does she? does that mean I do?
unless she got a round of prep
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire was on watch and you were asleep.
Hernz: works
A patch of icy fog springs up around Fi and Vegeta.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The patch is effectively fog cloud.
Circe E tries a ranged touch against Fi hitting Touch AC 24 for 1 damage

Cat: brilliant.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Circe B tries a ranged touch against Midnight hitting Touch AC 16 for 3 damage
Circe? B is much more successful in hitting Agent Midnight.
However, Agent Midnight seems to resist the effects of the blast.

Meghan: Huh.. uh, well, if we had a prep round I have mage armor up
bu totherwise, no

Consider yourself staggered, ma'am. Move or Standard action this turn.
Meghan: Welp

Vegeta suddenly pumps up [ki left 11]

Vegeta Pummels Circe? D, concentrating all his attacks in one area.
Vegeta:

Hernz: k
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It is bedtime for me. Claire should figure out what she wants to (move or standard.)
Meghan: Can I 5 foot step and cast?
Realtime 10/26, 7:58pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can 5ft and then cast, Claire.
The party is under assault by a icy compulsive gambler with a bounty to collect.

Description: An invisible but tangible field of force surrounds the subject of a mage armor spell, providing a +4 armor bonus to AC.

Unlike mundane armor, mage armor entails no armor check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, or speed reduction. Since mage armor is made of force, incorporeal creatures can't bypass it the way they do normal armor.

Agent Midnight's Fort Save DC 14 6
While Claire is pretty lucky, Agent Midnight is slowed by Circe C's icy axe.
A patch of ice suddenly forms on the ground, underneath Fi and Hawk.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The patch is similar to ice slick and grease spells: you move at half speed and must make a DC 10 acrobatics check to avoid falling prone.
Circe? E slashes Fleir with her axe, hitting AC 20 for 5 nonlethal damage and 4 cold damage.
Circe? D slashes Vegeta with her axe, hitting AC 23 for 9 nonlethal damage and 4 cold damage.
...did I actually hit Vegeta?
If I did, Vegeta needs to make a DC 14 Fort Save, or he'll be staggered for one round.
The cold fog cloud Vegeta is in dissipates in a sudden burst of cold.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta also needs to make a Reflex Save DC 16 or he takes 9 cold damage (save for half.)
Fleir and Hawk are up.

Hernz: but SR is against spells.. they're wacking you
Meghan: yeah
i take it the freezeray is not an evil spell-like ability?
Claire is promptly double teamed and is soon buried in icy shards.
Hernz: although, you're staggered again?? crap, that's not good
Meghan: I've taken what, like 17 damage total? non lethal?

does that mean anything?

Meghan should really pay attention to this, I guess
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I've been ignoring the cold damage they've dealt to you, they can't do more than 5.
You've gotten nonlethal slashing damage so far.
Chris: Chad is on top of everything.
Meghan: "nonlethal" slashing?
... how does that work?
Chris: magic
Meghan: butterknives?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I just roll the dice.
Meghan: paper cuts?
Hernz: lol
Another icy patch forms, catching Hawk, Nidri and Vegeta in it.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): DC 10 Acrobatics to move at half speed. Fail and you need a Reflex Save DC 16 to avoid falling prone.
Meghan: Ice. Why did it have to be ice?
The former ice patch Fi, Hawk and Circe? B were standing on erupts into icy shards.
Hernz: woot, I got a base 10 acro :D
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I need Reflex Save DC 16 from Fi and Hawk, or take 5 cold damage (save for half.))
Fi:
Fi : Reflex
Save	23
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Reflex
Save	8
George: Right, so... Uhhh... Yeah, that's actually a 6.
Fi avoids the brunt of it, but Hawk is caught in the full blast.
Meghan: hah. right, my -2 hasn't come up yet because I haven't come that close to making my save
Circe? B doesn't blink as she's covered in ice.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fleir and Hawk are up, but it's time for me to head home.
Hernz: what's the penalty for shooting into melee? -4, right?

Fleir is attacking Circe? E with Bite & Trip!
Fleir: Attack Result: 19
(Needs at least 29 to crit.)
Damage Result: 10
Crit: 20/x2
Crit Confirm: 10
Crit Damage: +9
Fleir: Trip Attempt: 18
Agent Midnight finally arrives to provide Fleir some support...only to realize she doesn't need it.
Three icy women remain.

Fleir circles the tent and gets into flanking.

Hawk Hubertins is activating his Bard ability, Inspire Courage +2
Hawk Hubertins: +2 morale bonus to attack, damage, and save vs fear & charm
Inspire Courage +2 uses remaining: 16
Note: Effect lasts for 2 rounds after song has ended.
George: Cross your fingers, Hawk is going to try to move.
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Acrobatics
Check	7
Hernz: lol
George: Not so much with the moving.
Hernz: now reflex 16 or you fall I think he said... yay....
George: Cross your fingers, Hawk is going to try to not land on his face.
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Reflex
Save	20
Cat: wooooooo
Hernz: WOOOOOO
Cat: so like, you stand there and don't fall over?
George: That's with the -2, so he just stands there and doesn't fall over.
So yeah, I think Hawk will hold casting a spell if someone in the party misses an attack.
Round 4
Hernz: oooh, we continue!
Cat: nidri's gonna wait and see what the deal is with claire.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Agent Midnight shoots Circe G, hitting Touch AC 9 for 6 Damage.
Cat: niiiiiice.
Hernz: lol
will hawk help her out?
Misfire! Agent Midnight's weapon jams, and some parts fly off.
Hernz: oh, right, crits with those
Agent Midnight almost curses before regaining her composure and dropping the weapon in the sands.
Agent Midnight: ...this hasn't been my night.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, now it's bed time. I just wanted to get GM stuff out of the way.
Remember you're at half speed, Nidri.
Hernz: would claire hate me if I hit one of those?
Vegeta: crap, can't let her drop too...

Vegeta shoots an energy blast at @{target|token_name}!
Vegeta: Ranged Touch Att: 27
(Needs 29 to crit.)
Damage Result: 9
Crit: 20/x2
Crit Confirm: 17
Crit Damage: +9
Meghan: do you have flanking from me?
or does it not matter?
Hernz: dnt think for ranged touch attacks
doesnt matter with an 18 on the roll
Meghan: ok, assuming I can take a 5ft step
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire needs to be armed, as well
Hernz: thatis fire damage btw, no save
what a shitty damage roll lol

Vegeta has 7 ki left
Meghan: ah, ok.
ok, casting from here, what check do I need to make?
concentration?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, if you want to cast defensively.
Meghan: am I at a -2?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Caster Level + Cha Bonus - 2 vs DC 15 + double spell level
Meghan: so 19...
Claire : Concentration Check
Class	Sorceror 5
Check	17
ugh.
does that mean they get aoo?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nope, just means the spell is cast but nothing happens.
Meghan: damn.
I'd rather take the aoo.
it would've been better to do the 1st level spell
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If they had hit you with the AoO, it would prompt a concentration check based on the damage.
Meghan: hahah, ok
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If you wanna risk that I'll let you retcon it, buuuuuuuut
Hernz: dammit, I thought for sure you'd kill them so I didn't go up to them lol
Meghan: I will, eventually
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hernz, you were shooting Circe C?
Hernz: yes
Vegeta burns Circe? C badly.
Claire is so focused on not dropping her guard she is unable to conjure flame!
Cat: if i fail the acro check, i'm pretty well done heh. so...do i try to go back over by claire, or just...wait.
hey, are these humanoid? :)
Hernz: just a dc 10 check... you got any dex?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): They are elemental outsiders.
Not humanoids.
Hernz: go ice skating!

Fi is attacking Circe? B with Sendrine Long Sword!
Fi: Attack Result: 24
(Needs at least 26 to crit.)
Damage Result: 7
Crit: 19/x2
Crit Confirm: 14
Crit Damage: +5
Fi: Notes:
Type: slashing
Chris: Time to see what the first Sendrine hit on an outsider does...
Hernz: it might just bypass any resistances... or BANISH THEM!!!
or maybe turn them into random fauna and flora like in Sonic
Chris: lol
Cat: heh.
and yeah, the dc 10 acro check shouldn't be a big deal, but the follow-up save is brutal if i don't make the acro.
Hernz: maybe delay?
guidance and move?
realtime 10/28, 9:41 pm
Fi switches to his black-bladed sword, catching Circe? B and Agent Midnight's curiosity.
A crack forms along the sword as it slices into Circe, almost breaking the weapon in two.
Circe?: Ow. What kinda blade is that?
Hernz: not a good one if it just broke... lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri's turn.
Circe?: Pfft. I bet Sheeva would go crazy over it. I could probably juggle those with some practice. Oooh, that's a good idea. Somebody write that down!
Cat: the point of moving would be to heal claire.
before she gets non-lethaled into unconsciousness.
i'll take a chance on the acro.
Hernz: do itttttt!!!
Cat:
Nidranisan : Acrobatics
Check	20
Hernz: BOOM!
Cat: hah
(GM) Chad S. (GM): :flex
Cat: yeah, that's WITH the -2 ;)

Cat casts Cure Light on Claire!
Cat: heal 11 HPs.
Hernz: only half move btw, right chad?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, half speed.
Cat: craaaap
half in the ice, but i can't get out that direction so doesn't reaaaaally matter.
because i can still reach her
but yeah, ok.
i though it healed all the non-lethal?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): "When a spell or ability cures hit point damage, it also removes an equal amount of nonlethal damage."
Hernz: so does double the healing? chad, stop sending nonlethal swords against us... we confused
Cat: awwww i have again been lied to :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 1 HP of healing gives +1 HP and -1 NL Damage
Cat: otoh, i don't have to feel bad about wasting a good d8 :)
Hernz: true lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri, are you armed?
I don't think you are.
Hernz: no, but she is dangerous!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Circe? G attacks Claire, hitting AC 8 for 9 damage.
Circe? C attacks Claire, hitting AC 20 for 6 damage.
Claire, I need a Fort Save DC 14, lest you be staggered.
The two women hack away at Claire, managing to hit once.
Meghan:
Claire : Fortitude
Save	20
fuckng finally
But she ain't frozen!
Hernz: did C provoke by moving through threatened spaces?
Meghan: am I still alive then?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire C provoked from Claire and Nidri.
Meghan: circe c?
Hernz: lol
Meghan: but what kind of aoo can I do?
I don't think I even have a weapon
Hernz: but you guys dont have weapons... PUNCH!
Meghan: really?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes, C provoked.
Meghan: I always have my holy lazer
Hernz: 1d2!!
Meghan: can I attack of op with that?
Hernz: nope
Meghan: damnit
Claire : Melee Attack
Check	5
loooool
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can't do AoOs with unarmed attacks if you're not a monk (or Improved Unarmed Strike)
Meghan: hah, ok, then I can do nothing
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Aaaaaand, ya know...
whiff
Hernz: oh.... then... um... good, that embarrassing attack never happened lol
Meghan: I spit at her
right
Hernz: ok, make a fort save so you can burn them bitches!
Claire's spittle freezes as it hits Circe's robe. The woman frowns.
Circe?: Dammit, that always happens.
Meghan: ... if I take a 5' step east
would they both still be in a 15' cone?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Circe? B attacks Fi, hitting AC 12 for 9 NL damage and 3 cold damage.
Meghan: (and agent midnight not?
Hernz: make fort save first to see if you can even think about that lol
Meghan: and ... nidri's tent woul dbe bad
what, into the ice?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): She rolled a 20 Fort, Hernz. Also, not her turn yet.
Meghan: yeah.
just planning it out
nidri, you didn't care about your tent, right?
Hernz: oh sweet, nice... I shut ups
Circe B swings and misses.
Meghan: if I run away I'll provoke, I think.
I like how they've established that I'm a big threat, though
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You're number one!
Another field of slippery ice forms as the previous field erupts into shards.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hawk, Vegeta, Nidri and Claire need to make DC 16 Reflex Saves or take 8 cold damage (save for half)
Vegeta: reflex 25
(GM) Chad S. (GM): ...Evasion!
Hernz: what ice?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh reflex saves via standing still
Fleir and Hawk are up next. Hawk, Nidri and Claire will have to make DC 16 reflex saves to halve 8 cold damage.
Meghan:
Claire : Reflex
Save	3
(GM) Chad S. (GM): ...Agent Midnight will try not to suck next round, but probably fail, lol
Meghan: nice.
ok, so I ignore the first 5 points of cold, right?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 8 damage - 5 cold resist = 3 damage.
Meghan: how injured am I now?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 29/32 HP with 13 NL damage
Meghan: ok.
oh, Nidri healed me?
dur
Vegeta: for 11
Meghan: thanks Ni

Fleir is attacking Circe? B with Powerful Bite & Trip!
Fleir: Attack Result: 19
(Needs at least 28 to crit.)
Damage Result: 13
Crit: 20/x2
Crit Confirm: 22
Crit Damage: +10
Fleir: Trip Attempt: 11
(GM) Chad S. (GM): While in the ice slick, you need to make a DC 10 acrobatics check if you want to move at half speed. If that fails, make a DC 16 reflex save to not fall on your butt.
Fleir crunches another entity, spewing ice shards across the desert sands.
Cat: nidri has her knife out.
it lets her provide flanking if needed :)
Chris: well, you can attempt an AoO if you want :-P
Cat:
Nidranisan : Reflex
Save	3
Chris: WAAAYY too much red this combat.
Hernz: lol
Cat: chris...i caught your bimodal thing.
i also have cold resist 5 tho
so, if i swing for the AOO, i have the -2 from lol-fail save this morning, but...+2 from the bard?
Hernz: nice.. this bitch clearly didnt do her homework
yup

Cat laughs.
Cat: yeah ok.
i'll click the button.
Nidranisan : Dagger (broken)
Attack	13
Damage	0
BAM.
Hernz: hahahahaha
Chris: minimum of 1.
Cat: hey guys, i rolle a 3 on my d3!
i mean seriously, a 13 doesn't hit these, does it?
Hernz: is it??? if I an a weak 2 year old and punch you, you take no damage regardless of how strong I punch... tiny hands, no strength... just logically thinking... dnd could be diff
Cat: i think dnd kinda assumes 2 year olds aren't punching you.
that said, when eric hits me in the face, it does hurt.
Hernz: LOL
Cat: and he probably doesn't have the unarmed combat feats at age 2.
so he's dealing non-lethal damage, right?
i mean, if he stabbed me with a knife, it would do at least 1 damage.
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Reflex
Save	9
George: Guess not.
Now Hawk tries to move out of the ice...
Cat: anyway, i'm not gonna fix the damage macro
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Acrobatics
Check	8
George: Guess not.
Chris: Pathfinder made it where if you do less than 1 point of damage, it is converted to 1 point of NL.
Cat: niiiice.
my stab is kinda useless. :)
the important part is really that i threaten for the purposes of allowing flanking.
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Reflex
Save	12
Hernz: can hawk help himself with a skill check with that spell of his?
George: And Hawk is now prone.
And stops singing because he's surprised to have fallen on his rear.
But the effects of his song last for 2 more rounds.
Cat: hernz, we just had that conversation out loud heh.
verdict: not really worth it.
Hernz: lol
he wouldnt have to make a save next round when the circle blows up
George: So instead he's going to sit on his rear and cast Moment of Greatness. Everyone may double their Morale bonus once within the next 5 minutes (I'd suggest in the next 2 rounds) for one roll.

Hawk Hubertins casts Moment of Greatness!
Hawk Hubertins: Level 1
Casting Time: 1 standard
Components: V, S, M/DF (rabbit fur)
Range: 50 ft.
Targets/Area: The caster and allies within a 50-ft. burst centered on the caster
Duration: 1 minute/level or until discharged
Hawk Hubertins:
Double morale bonus for one action of the targets choice within the duration of the spell before making a roll.
Hernz: so either for attack or damage if we use your inspire courage, right?
George: Yup.
One roll, you have to declare before you roll.
And since Hawk's song is now +2, that means you get a +4 on one roll.
Hernz: hey, it says a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls... do spells get that benefit for the damage?
George: Damage spells sure do.
Vegeta: oh.... not sure Claire and I have been counting those on ours...
Hernz: at least I havent...
good to know!
Meghan: I don't think I've cast anythign with damage since bardsong started
Fi: Damnit, Zey. You said it wouldn't break!
Chris: Did the sword at least seem to do something other than 7 damage?
and break...
Hernz: didn't see the health bar prior to you hitting it
Chris: I don't see anyone else hitting her before that.
Hernz: the bar did look more than 50%...and when veg hit for 14, that was a similar bar
so it might have done double... at least 1.5x? chad can let us know if it seemed extra effective
George, if I cast magic missile, does bard song apply to each damage roll?
Chris: No.
Hernz: ok, I'd assume once per spell
Chris: Otherwise the 2d6 for my damage with gravity bow would also get it.
Hernz: good, not broken
well, no, gravity bow doesnt do damage... it just increases the damage die of your bow by one
Chris: yes, it goes to 2d6.
Hernz: right... then bardsong affects your attack and damage with the bow, which now happens to do niftier damage
Chris: yes.
but I get the same bonus on the damage roll either way.
So, it's per damage roll; not per die roll.
Hernz: yeah, so a magic missile might do 4 missiles worth of damage, but you roll the dice separately, still only is one damage roll, so only one bonus applies
Chris: Uhh... "a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls"
Hernz: hm... I was reading inspire courage and doesn't say that... in the bard profile
nevermind....... it does... Im dumb
I should go to sleep haha
Chris: Situation normal. nothing to see here.
Hernz: apologies to chad for having to load the backlog and read all this nonesense
realtime 10/29 9:16 am
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri takes 3 cold damage thanks to her div heritage.
Hawk isn't as lucky.
Hawk falls on his butt as he attempts to move off the ice patch.
Instead he gives everyone a lone moment of greatness!
Fi notes the sword dealt an expected amount of damage.
Round 5

Agent Midnight shakes her head and holds onto her broken weapon.
Agent Midnight: Acrobatics 23
spends some grit and pistol whips Circe? C, hitting AC 23. She spends her Moment of Greatness to make extra sure the blow lands.
She deals 6 damage and tries to knock Circe prone, hitting CMD 15
Agent Midnight skates across the ice and bashes the icy woman in the back of the head with her weapon. Circe spins on the spot but maintains her balance.
Agent Midnight: Let's finish this, quickly!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta, Claire, Fi and Nidri are up, now.
Chris: Just to let all my friends know: I broke my kneecap this morning. I fell on my bike when I slipped on some leaves while turning.

Fi drops the broken sword and picks up his bow again.

Hernz: (I used hawks extra bonus on the attack to make sure I hit)

Vegeta has 6 ki left
Vegeta: one left... Claire, all yours
Hernz: hey chad, does this ice count as difficult terrain? cause if so, we can't 5ft in it, right?
Chris: I think if move is reduced, it does.
Hernz: so Claira cant step back even... ok, good thing I killed one cause then Claire might provoke.
realtime 10/29 8:41 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sorry to hear about your kneecap, Chris.
Fi's arrow whizzes by Circe.
Vegeta takes Agent Midnight's cue and bashes Circe. Unlike the others, Circe? C collapses onto the ice slick, unconscious.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The ice slick is difficult terrain, so 5 ft step is not possible
Claire and Nidri are up.
I'm adding sword icons to represent your Moment of Greetness
Meghan: my what?
... can I do that in purple?
fuck this, I'mma burn her
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hawk finished his bardsong, but you can apply a single +4 bonus to a check / attack
Meghan: burn the life out of her.
and since I'm not taking that 5ft step back...
wait, am I?
I could. then I'd just burn her and the tent
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You have 3 options
1) Try an Acrobatics check to move back 5ft
2) Cast defensively to burninate at point blank range
Meghan: cast defensively is a ...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 3) Cast and risk an AoO. If she misses, you can cast for free
Meghan: concentration check?
Chris: You could apply your +4 to it.
Meghan: yeah
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup. Remember you can apply the moment of greatness to it
Meghan: dc 15+2(level of spell)?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup
Meghan: ... am I still at a -2?
probably
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes, you still have the -2 penalty
Meghan: so my check is +8, potential +4.
I can't add the +4 to damage, can I?
Chris: no
Meghan: uuuugh, fine
I'm turning my -2 into a +2
Claire : Concentration Check
Class	Sorceror 5
Check	13
...
really.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): RED. FOR. EVERYONE!
Chris: This is the best combat ever!
Circe? G pouts as Claire's hands fizzle.
Meghan: I could've ended it so fast if I'd just stayed where I was and burned them first off
ugh, Locke is jumping on the bed again.
brb
Circe?: Oh come on. Mr. Cramps here set it up and everything.
Meghan: ... interesting
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Welp, you have a move action left.
Claire's move action and Nidri are up.
Chris: Cat's going to busy for a while if I remember correctly.
Meghan: and I can't really move anywhere without an acrobatics check?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup, you're on ice. You could stand still instead and avoid the check.
IB hopes you recover soon, Chris.
Meghan: yeah, fuck moving
someone else kill her.
Claire decides to hold her ground.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, that just leaves Nidri.
Cat: uuungh. the one person who has literally no chance of actually killing her.
ok, i need to actually read. back in a sec.
this might be the event that prompts nidri to actually learn a farking damage spell.
so hang on, was agent midnight's weapon broken? or did i just read something goofy? (i didn't go Way Back...)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Her weapon is broken, but she can pistol whip with it.
Cat: but...i ironically have mending.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): ...does that...work?
Cat: the range on it is 10'
"If the object has the broken condition, this condition is removed if the object is restored to at least half its original hit points. All of the pieces of an object must be present for this spell to function."
so i guess...it depends a little on how many HP the object has.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hmm, the pistol weighs 4 pounds.
I guess you can repair it.
Cat: i mean...i'm sure i'll roll a 1.
and it probably has more than 8 HP anyway.
but i literally have no way to hurt anything that isn't undead.
i'm not exactly going to shoot a crossbow through claire and vegeta ;)
Nidranisan : Mending
Level Oracle 4

Nidri points at Agent Midnight's weapon. Midnight is very briefly surprised to watch the weapon repair itself.
Agent Midnight: I...well, thank you.
Nidranisan: They keep me around for a reason.
Agent Midnight: For more than your sense of snark?
Nidranisan: Yeah, really it's just 'cause I'm pretty.

Agent Midnight smiles for a moment, then turns to Circe.
Circe?: Geez. Uh...hmmm... Bet you can't hit me?
10 gold says you can't.
Circe attacks Claire, hitting AC 24 for 5 damage.
(that was nonlethal damage)
Claire needs to make a Fort Save, DC 14
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hey Nidri, did you want to use your move action?
Cat: eh, not really going anywhere.
so, no.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Circe? G backs off. Acrobatics 14
Provoking an AoO from Vegeta and Claire.
Fi: /ooc Claire is unarmed.
Chris: what is this, i don't even...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta hits AC 15 for 12 damage.
Oh wait, he has +12 to attack? I gotta audit that some day.
Meghan: so is G the real one? or is the real one hiding out in the dark?
Circe? G moves away after Vegeta punches her, then raises an icy fog around her.
Chris: C didn't poof when she fell.
The icy ground Claire, Agent Midnight, Vegeta, Nidri and Hawk are standing on erupts into icy shards.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Reflex Save DC 16 to halve the 10 cold damage.
Agent Midnight: Reflex Save 30

I'm so glad I have some cold DR
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fleir and Hawk are up next. You all have a decent idea of where the remaining Circe is, but she is in a fog cloud.
Cat: the fog cloud is the size of the blue?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup
It's a small cloud.
Hawk Hubertins: Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow.
Nidranisan: eh. just let claire go burning-hands it.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hawk, you are prone.
Meghan: ...
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Cure Moderate Wounds
Meghan: this fog cloud is about 15ft in diameter?
yeah
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup
Hawk, how much did that heal?
Meghan: Wait, that last con check burned one of my spells, right?

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup, you lost 2 spells due to failed concentration checks
Meghan: if it did, I still have 4 burning hands left
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I assume Hawk's standing up?

Hawk Hubertins stands up
Hawk dusts himself off, and rejuvenates himself with a simple tune.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Okay, bedtime for me. Combat should be wrapping up soon.
Hernz: chad, my attack is +12... +3 monk level, 1 weap focus, +6 from my ki use per round, and +2 from bard song
Chris: Fleir has scent, so she should be able to know where Circe G is when within 5'.
You can roll a miss chance if you think it is still appropriate.

Then it would just be Fi upset about it and not Fleir.
Hernz: lol

Agent Midnight is unable to avoid the icy shards but it deals no long term damage to her.
Chris: Bah. More red.
Fleir is nicked by the shards.
Combat Over
Of the six icy women who approached the camp, 5 of them are nothing more than piles of icy shards.
Claire and Fleir stand next to one remaining woman face down in the sand, unconscious.

Agent Midnight takes a quick look around, and then removes ammunition from her weapon before holstering it.
Cat: does the non-lethal heal overnight? (is it the middle of the night? i forget.)
Nidranisan casts Cure Moderate Wounds!
Nidranisan: Vegeta - heal 13 HPs.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): NL damage heals 1 per hour.
Vegeta is at 31/33 HP.
Nidranisan: OK, who else feels bad enough they won't be all better in the morning?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fi & Fleir will fully recover without magical assistance.
Oh, Vegeta will also recover naturally.
Cat: he will NOW. ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes, indeed
Nidranisan casts Cure Light on Hawk!
Nidranisan: heal 11 HPs.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hawk is down 6 HP
Nidranisan casts Cure Light on Claire!
Nidranisan: heal 10 HPs.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire will recover.
Nidri is down by 8 HP, and Midnight has 16 NL
Nidranisan: How's that weapon? need any more repairs or all good to go?
Nidranisan casts Cure Light on Nidri!
Nidranisan: heal 6 HPs.
Agent Midnight: It's in tip-top shape, thanks to you.
Nidranisan: Glad that worked out.
Agent Midnight: Indeed.
Fi: [Nidri] I would ask you to do the same for this one, but I'm pretty sure it won't work.
Agent Midnight: My apologies I could not be more useful.
Nidranisan: it might.
no real cost to trying, Fi.
Nidranisan casts Cure Light on Agent Midnight!
Nidranisan: heal 10 HPs.
Agent Midnight: I feel much better. A good night's rest and I'll be right as rain.
Nidranisan: Excellent.

Cat: do anything to the sword?
Nidri applies her magic to the black blade. Agent Midnight stares, curious.
Fi: So, Zey managed to increase the hardness of the weapon, but now it all goes at once...
[Midnight] Yes it is.
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : CL Check
Class	Oracle 5
Check	12
Agent Midnight: What...strange material.
Fi: It's an alloy with something you should be familiar with.
The blade resists Nidri's magic, and is ultimately unaffected.
Meghan: so what about this unconscious woman?
Chris: No one cares. Lol
Nidranisan: huh.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta is busy teabagging her yelling "I BEAT YOU!"
Nidranisan: maybe i'll try again in the morning.
if you don't mind, FI.
Agent Midnight: You...forged it into a weapon? But it's so brittle!
Meghan: as we've seen
Fi: [Nidri] As much as you want to.
Cat: so, how hilarious would it be if nidri learns 'make whole'? ;)

Agent Midnight heads to her tent, emerges with some rope and manacles. She begins binding Circe.
Fi: There has been a rather disturbing group who has been trying to do so. Perhaps in preparation to mess with some angels.
Agent Midnight: Oh? Do tell.
Cat: ...the much-resisted bedtime is finally approaching. back in a bit.
Fi: We rescued the Krimson master smith who had been abducted by them to forge weapons made from it.
He wouldn't make it for them, but he was intrigued by the concept. So he made some for us afterwards.
Agent Midnight: Krimson...Elven Kingdom in Alenno. Isolationist?
Fi: Yes. Well, we seem to have started cracking that shell a little bit.
Agent Midnight: Excellent. Honestly, the Draugh Royal Family could learn a thing or two about that.

Agent Midnight pulls extra tightly on Circe's bindings as she finishes the sentence

Fi provides a little background on CF.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): EXPOSITION MONTAGE
Agent Midnight: Incredible...There is so little we know about this - what did you call it?
Fi: Sendrine.
Agent Midnight: Yes, this Sendrine.
Merki seemed concerned about this material we found.
Fi: We've met someone who has researched it before. It seems to be both resistant to magic, but closely tied to outside dimensions.
Chris: planes, whatever.
Fi: We've seen it used to open portals.
Agent Midnight: Portals to the other planes?
I understand. This Sendrine material has many uses. The potential for abuse is rife, though.
Fi: The Mel's don't seem to know what it is yet. Although they're now more interested in what Merki learned here. That's how we convinced them to send us here.
Cat: right. we're supposed to be trusting her. :)
Agent Midnight: Hence why you're here. I'm certain the resource we are en route towards will answer some of your queries.
But tell me: what are YOU hoping to learn from this?
Meghan: ... I have mending, btw. any chance that'd work on this?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can try.
Meghan:

Cat: in other news, meghan is WAY better at rolling virtual d20s than me :)
Two additional castings later, the weapon is as good as new.
Meghan: yay for 0th level spells
anyone else break shit?
Cat: midnight said her gun is all fixed.
far as i know everything else is OK.
Fi: Thanks. Maybe I need to save this for something which is resistant to damage.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'm getting sleepy, guys. Figure out what you want to do with Circe.
Chris: BBQ?
Cat: hah.
Nidranisan: [agent midnight] so...you know her?
Hernz: so I missed just who killed her, and why she's still somehow alive?
and I dont' want to load the chat log if I dont have to lol... anyone?
Chris: Fleir took out the last one, but the real one was the one that you took down.
Hernz: woooooooot
thanks
did someone heal that one? cause I sure as hell didn't go NL on her

Chris shrugs.
Chris: Midnight tied her up though.
Hernz: ok lol
Cat: i mean, i assume she's still alive. i don't even really know what she is.
Fi: And does she commonly try to knock out traveling parties?
10/31, 8:26 pm Spooky Edition
Agent Midnight: Circe frequents the Draugh Capital. She enjoys gambling. A little too much.
Well, much too much. A sucker's game, she'll take any risk you present to her.
She has done bounty hunting in the past to help clear debt, and I do have many enemies. Perhaps she was after me?
Fi: Hmm... I feel like she said something about all of us being easy money.
Or was that still in my dream...
So she has some relationship with Petal Rose? Rose said something about being a force of nature. She something like that too?
Agent Midnight: Yes. As far as I can tell, Circe represents the cold, and is quite old. She tried to charge me one hundred thousand pieces of gold to get her exact origins, though.
I lack those kinds of resources.
Fi: Well, It would probably be a bad idea to kill a force of nature. Midnight, your land, your rules. What shall we do with her?
Agent Midnight: I don't think you could kill her, if you tried. That would be like stopping the winter by slashing at the winds.
If you wish to interrogate her, we can wait for her to revive. Otherwise we can simply move on.
She interrupted our first watch.
Fi: Well. She wanted a game. We can give her one. Coin flips for answers or freedom. Heads, she answers a question. Tails, she gets a point. 5 points and she gets to leave?
What do we want to know? Who put out the bounty? For who?
Nidranisan: was the bounty communicated directly to her, or "public"...meaning more people will come after us?
Hernz: that covers about all veg would like to know
realtime 11/1 8:47 pm (Daylight Savings...Something...edition)
Circe grumbles as she regains consciousness, tied and shackled by Agent Midnight's gear.
Circe?: What-who-en-what?
Awww man. There goes the bounty.
Hernz: also, how much is the bounty.... mainly to see if it's high, then likely higher level hunters after us.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I've added a handout "Circe's Interrogation" so you can order the questions in terms of priority.
Hernz: I'm good with that order
George: Yeah, looks fine to me.
Hernz: watch, chad will roll 5 1s in a row or whatever we decide is the "go home free" side of the coin
George: Naturally
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, let's do this
Fi explains the game to Circe.
Circe?: Yeah! Let's do it! Flip it! Flip it good!
Hernz: [she says no] lol
Circe glares at the coin, watching its every move.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Heads is 1, Tails is 2
Hernz: and which is good for her?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Heads means she answers a question. Tails means she gets a point.

Vegeta: sense motive 31 to make sure she's telling the truth
you lie and we have a nice camp fire waiting for you
Circe suddenly gets dead serious, like a pendulum swing
Circe?: I don't lie.
Then suddenly brightens up.
Vegeta: neither do I
Circe?: "Who put out the bounty" you ask? Duh, General Joann. Talks big, but this kingdom has all sorts of lawbreakers.

Circe?: Hey. Maybe you'll flip a hundred heads. You don't know!
Vegeta: maybe your head will be one of those I flip
Circe?: Do you hear this guy? You and Sheeva should go on a date or something!
Now then, you guys are flipping that coin, or what?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): rolling 2

Vegeta: Fi... you and your stupid elf games...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Lousy probability
Circe?: Aaaaaaand I'm out!
Vegeta: wait.... one more... win and you go free and get a free shot at me
payback for me taking you down? hehe
Circe? takes a deep breath and shrinks slightly, slipping out of her bonds.
Circe?: Now now, I won fair and square. But, just to show there are no hard feelings...
Vegeta: you can go free... or get a chance at getting even withe me
Circe?: General Joann has a general bounty on Agent Midnight. HOWEVER! He put a bounty out for you guys last morning.
He...also put a bounty out on Giovanni Vermillion.
I took my chances. I figured you would be easier to capture, but meh.
Constipated Human Vegeta. I'm not messin' with you again. Even I know to stop when I'm ahead.
Vegeta: BEAT IT
Cat: ...giovanni was the other one with the fancy color-changing wine?
Circe?: ...you guys should find a better diplomat.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri recalls Giovanni is the president of the Magmere Manufacturing. Vegeta remembers his wine changed color.
Cat: yeah, i think we talked about all that.
Circe skates off into the desert, leaving an icy trail that soon melts away.
Agent Midnight goes to pick up her rope and manacles.
Agent Midnight: ...I should have suspected as much.
Nidranisan: about the general, about you, or about us and giovanni?
Agent Midnight: Attempting to restrain Circe. I am well aware of the bounty on my head. I'm preferred alive rather than dead.
Nidranisan: heh.
Agent Midnight: I suspect the royal family is interested in the knowledge I've built up over the years. I'm just glad someone can put pressure on Giovanni, even if he weasels his way out of it.
Cat: (is it morning?)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You were attacked during the first watch.
Cat: right, but, she revived like...right away basically?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes. Pretty much for storytelling purposes (and you wouldn't have to fall asleep and then interrogate her in the moring)
Cat: k.
Nidranisan: well, is that about it then?
Agent Midnight: Yes, that's it for me. We should get some rest.
Nidranisan: exactly what i was thinking.
Agent Midnight: Hawk and Claire were on watch.
I'll assist Vegeta during his part.
...Vegeta, what's your favorite kind of tea? I honestly forgot.
Vegeta: .... sigh... again... I don't do tea...
Agent Midnight: Oh. You like it simple. Honey and lemon, I understand. Let me check my supply to see if I kept any dried lemon...
Nidranisan: the most you're likely to sell him is hot water.
it's his thing.
Vegeta: let's just keep our eyes open... you drink all you want.. I'll be... THERE
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (I'm imagining Vegeta is waving his arms in a random direction while Midnight's head is buried deep within her backpack)

Vegeta points his head in one direction and walks that way
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Unless you guys have any questions to ask, the rest of the night will pass without incident.
Cat: ...if we have questions, though, WE GET ATTACKED AGAIN.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Well, Agent Midnight will eventually just offer Vegeta hot water after trying every single flavor she's carrying.

Vegeta eventually takes the hot water...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Okay, I updated the notes to include the interrogation. That's it for now, have a good night!
Chris: Haha. I figured as much. I thought we had two ways to make her talk. A game or money.
Fi: [Vegeta] Would have preferred to pay money for those answers?
Vegeta: my fists can be more persuasive than money... then again, I'm all for surprise... let them come, whomever it may be
Fi: She didn't seem like the type to provide answers from threats of violence. At least not good answers.
Vegeta: like I said, I'm ok not knowing heh

After a good night's rest, the party is ready to finish up camp. Agent Midnight carefully prepares some tea and trail rations.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll need will saves from the party.
Agent Midnight: Despite that setback, we should be able to reach the Magmere Installation by tomorrow morning.
I've prepared some transportation for us once we reach the river.
Cat: still have the -2 on saves?

(afternoon)
The walk towards the river takes most of the morning. Agent Midnight notes the party should break for lunch.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire's Will Save 19
Today, Nidri and Fi seem to be a bit on edge.
Agent Midnight: We'll need to cross the river, here. I have some folding boats that should fit three of us per ship.
I can direct one of the boats, but we should decide how we want to split our duties.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'm adding a new handout, Boaty Boat Boat.
But your first mission is to figure out how to break up the party. Up to 3 can fit on a boat.
Chris: Well, we take the goat first, then the lettuce. Bring the goat back, pick up the wolf. Wait...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You forgot the washing machine!
Chris: Wait, what does the washing machine eat? The wolf?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Washing machine eats the sheep to wash the wool
Chris: Professions (Sailor)... lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): That skill gets a bonus!
Chris: So... Does Fleir take up a boat slot, and does she help if she does?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): She takes a spot, yes. Not sure how she would help, but if you can explain it I'll allow it
Chris: Well, how does swim help normally?
Or is that only when we mess up?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Mostly when you screw up.
Chris: Well, she'll have a swim check at that point.
Well... Fi has +6 ride and +3 swim with the -2 penalties applied. +7/+4 if she takes off her armor.
Cat: so, in general... 0 ride, -1 swim. that's...without the -2 penalties.
pretty sure AM and Fi are leading boats.
Fi: Ok, room for one more in my boat.

Fi peers into the water.
Fi:
Fi : Knowledge-Nature
Check	17
Fi : Perception
Check	16
Anything hostile in these waters, Midnight?
Hernz: I say I man another one (+2 ride, +4 swim) and midnight the other?
Vegeta: good idea Fi.... perception 18
Hernz: yay shitty perceptions!
Meghan: I have +1 ride and 0 swim
I have a feeling that agent midnight should probably be the leader of the third boat
Cat: ...also, def getting claire to hit me with that wand before i climb in :)
Meghan: I don't have the wand of mage armor any more
now I just have mage armor. :P
how long has it been since our last fight?
Cat: no, the swimming one.
we bought one for whatever the waterbreathing spell is.
Meghan: we did?
Cat: well no one else answered, so vegeta and nidri bought it.
Meghan: ah-ha
and Claire's the one who should use it because Nidri would break it
Cat: we assumed claire would at least be ok using it.
but if you want in, just kick nidri 150 gp ;)
Meghan: oh, I actually have that
sure

Claire hands Nidri 150 gp
Cat: sweeet claire is in!
so, i renewed my car registration sunday night. which turned out to be good monday morning when i went to get it inspected, because i still had the expires-in-2014 registration in the car.
so today, my renewed registration arrived in the mail.
and i eagerly opened it up, thinking to myself "Boy, this time I'm gonna go put it right on the car!"
...it expires in 2015.
so, did renewing on the first of the month create some crazy funky issue...or have i been driving without a registration for LITERALLY AN ENTIRE YEAR?
Cat: well, 11 months i guess.
Claire: weird
Meghan: sorry, wrong character
but yeah. whoops?
Cat: and of course if i want to ask an actual person, i have to call M-F 9-5

The party debates over who should enter what boat.
George: Boat bad.
Fi and Vegeta peer into the water. It seems calm.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fi notes the river is almost unnaturally calm.
Agent Midnight: It sounds like I should lead the third boat.
Cat: how long will it take for us to cross?
Agent Midnight: An hour at the most, I'd say.

Cat is activating her Oracle ability, Demonhide
Cat: Uses remaining: 3
(actually 4, i just...apparently failed at clicking the arrow.)
haha i missed the spot for the one extra 'favored class' skill pont.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It looks like Hawk and Claire should decide which boat they're going to get on.
Cat: ...you guys should totally leave vegeta to fend for himself ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It's like a school playground where no one picks the unpopular guy
George: k.
Hawk picked his nose. Err, boat.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire?
Meghan: you fuckers left me with vegeta
ok, but
midnight has a better chance of getting us across the way
...
I'd rather live
Chris: Something incredibly stupid is going to happen now...
Midnight and Fi are going to fail spectacularly, and Vegeta will be taunting us all on the other side.
Meghan: and yet
we're still staying where we are
Hernz, isn't not because we don't love you. We just don't trust you.
Hernz: hahahahaha
btw, the wand of swimming lasts 1 minute... if this takes an hour, no use in casting it
Cat: hah.
well, claire can hang on to it and try to get to anyone who falls in ;)
i'm definitely armoring up before we go over though, my armor lasts several hours :)
Hernz: And we're off in the boats!
realtime 11/7, 9:04 pm
Like the unpopular kid who tries his hardest, Vegeta is left to man his own boat.
Chris: The prince needs no help.
The trip starts simple enough. With some good paddling, the boats disembark and start their trip up the river.
As if on cue by a mystical yet awesome force of nature, the river waters become agitated, as if it came to life!
The waves seem intent on capsizing the boats.
Fi: Surprise. Surprise...
Agent Midnight: I...didn't expect this. Be prepared for anything, they say!
A vortex of water appears near the opposite coast, trying to pull the boats in.
Agent Midnight: How does a river...

Agent Midnight: Ride check 12

Fi is focusing on what the heck that whirlpool is, but Nidri keeps him on track.
Agent Midnight's boat seems alright as well.

Chris: Nice, Cat. We made the absolute minimum.
When does Hernz leave? tomorrow?
Cat: yeah, welcome the world of D&D, where 10 plus 10 is 12!

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Time to crunch some checks!
Round 1 Summary: Everyone navigates towards the opposite coast. Vegeta does surprisingly well by himself.
Thanks for writing your checks in the handout!
Agent Midnight: Ride checks: 10 7 24 25 15
Round 2
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Everyone manages despite the waves acting up. Hawk begins to wonder if he should have led (with that 22 ride check.)
Round 3
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta for some reason begins to sail towards the whirlpool. He thought he maybe could punch it, but it turns out he can't.
Agent Midnight is so distracted by his foolish behavior she too is dragged towards the whirlpool.
(Vegeta had a 5 ride, Boat 1 had 11 total)
Round 4
Hernz: lol
Meghan: I thought round 3 was Midnight's 24 check
Hernz: PUNCH-UUUU!!!
Meghan: or are we starting with round 2?
and going to round 6?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, we're going to round 6.
Agent Midnight gets her sea legs back and sails quickly through the seas (28 check total)
Vegeta and Fi do OK.
Round 5
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Thanks to the GM's rolling a 20, Agent Midnight is able to steer her boat to shore.
Now Hawk, Claire and Midnight can assist others by shouting sailing advice like backseat drivers!
Meghan: whee!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Not to be outdone, Fi picks up speed.
Meghan: I mean, I shout real well with that 21
(GM) Chad S. (GM): "You! Move through water good!"
Meghan: TOPWISE!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): "Yes, good like that"
Hernz: "DONT DIE!"
Chris: Pro Tip ^^^
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta realizes punching water is a bad idea and continues to sail forward.
Round 6
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fi, Fleir and Nidri get off the boat on the other side of the shore just in time to see Vegeta try to punch the water again.
Vegeta: I swear there's something there!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Luckily, Claire reminds him that DYING IS BAD and he should continue towards the shore
Round 7
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta, gimme a Ride check. Anyone else online can try to assist.
Vegeta: ride 19

Fi : Ride
Check	12
Vegeta: This thing is following me, I swear!!
Fi: I think it like you.
Vegeta: perceptions! 22
Chris: And it goes away the moment we get out...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Just as Vegeta reaches the shore, the whirlpool seems to dissipate. The river returns to its unnatural calm.
Fi: Well... someone knew what we were doing.
Vegeta: hmph... I tell you I saw something creating that thing... anyway, seems to have gone away
Agent Midnight: Hmm. Something in the river? I haven't heard of many aquatic models from Magmere.
But we are within an hour's journey of their base of operations.
Our plan is to occupy their control room. From there, we should be able to shut it down, help my friend, and get more information.
My only question for you is if you'd like to sneak in, or would you rather be...loud about it?
Vegeta: haha! Is that even a question?
Fi: Apparently.
Vegeta: besides, half of them sneak like a blackguard wearing full plate

Agent Midnight whispers "half plate" before shutting up

Fi nods.
Cat: ah, moments too late to help. :)
Hernz: lol
Fi: While I fully support a stealthy infiltration, I'm afraid not everyone here would be a part of it.
Cat: QUICK SPLIT THE PARTY
SNEAKY PEOPLE THAT WAY
I'LL BE OVER HERE!
Hernz: HAHAHAHA
Meghan: heh
Agent Midnight: It sounds like Vegeta has a point. You're well equipped for strikes, less for extraction. Luckily I timed our approach so we should get there when the guard shift ends. That should buy us some time and confusion.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Welp, I got a few maps to draw. You guys should prepare for BATTUL soon
Hernz: if Claire can cast up a mage armor, much appreciated
Veg's defense is gone and switched for offense now

Agent Midnight: This is it. Get ready. Remember to use your ice on lightning-based foes and lightning on the firebreathers.
The party manages to sneak into the enemy compound, avoiding most patrols. They reach the front gate, where the door guards are patrolling. One metal golem patrols the grounds, while another bird-shaped golem stands atop one of the large crates.

Agent Midnight: Fires her weapon against flatfooted Stickshooter B, hitting AC 11 for 5 damage
Agent Midnight's shot hits a nearby crate.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The Stickshooters are holding similar weapons to Agent Midnight. Boomstick's weapon is a 2 handed one, while Axeman...has an axe.
Eagleed and Kuwanger are robots based on a bird and a beetle of some kind.

Fi is attacking Stickshooter B with Long Bow!

Fi's arrow is on the mark, however.

Chris: Debating if Fleir moves forward and becomes a target. I suppose if Vegeta is, they should both do it.
Cat: any armor on any of them?
(i'm trying to figure out if nidri should curse one.)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): All of the humanoids are wearing armor.
Cat: kinda thinking maybe axeman or boomstick.
anyone want to weigh in?
also, any clues what the shimmery puddles are? :)
George: Hawk's going to start singing when he gets a chance, but in theory it's Claire, Vegeta, and Nidri first.
Yeah, I'd say don't step up alone. If the front liners both move up, it's probably ok.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The shiny stuff is a combination of water and oil.
This is a surprise round, Hawk. If you sing now I'll give the party their bonuses retroactively (so, +1 damage)
Also, note Vegeta will be controlled by the GM tomorrow, since Hernz will be travelling.

axe guy has to get in our faces, presumably.

Meghan: ok

secondary target ... boomstick a?
this is the "start of next round thing, yeah?
Cat: so you moved up in the surprise round and now you're casting first in the real round?
Meghan: Yeah, I think so
dunno if I should cast yet or not
Cat: no real reason not to?
boomstick is cursed with nidri's oracle curse.
may or may not be more vulnerable to physical attacks with his broken armor than stickshooter A at this point. definitely target axeman though :)

The Axeman retreats and pulls out a potion.

Eagleed A flies 15 ft above the ground.
Cat: does that mean we hit it with ice, or lightning?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Use lightning on fire-based foes.
Chris: Fleir has yet to succeed on a reflex save for evasion to apply :-P
Cat: well ok then.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Eagleed opens its mouth and a stream of lightning hits Fi and Hawk.
Cat: so, ice on that one?
Chris: yup
(GM) Chad S. (GM): This is basically lightning bolt, hitting for 17 lightning damage (Reflex Save DC 14 for half)

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire and Vegeta are up next.
Nidranisan: [AM] do we need to worry about those machines getting up again?
Agent Midnight: Not without lots of repair.
Downtime Magmere can't afford right now.
Meghan: so machine and stickshooter, or stickshooter or boomstick?
who wants to guess if the machine is fire resistant?
Cat: i'm betting very likely it is.
i can't remember if AM specifically told us they were.
but it's the fire one, so i'd go for boomstick and stickshooter...

The panicked workers don't seem to notice or pay attention to you, and you notice little resistance on your way to the R&D sector.
An ominous metal door stands in front of you. You see a cold mist seeping in from underneath.
Agent Midnight: This is it. My friend should be inside. I hope he's still...alive.
Are you all ready?
Hernz: I assume the armors cast by Claire are still up... they last like a few hrs, right?

Vegeta and his 9 remaining ki are ready
Fi: Wait, if they weren't alerted to our presence, why are they panicked about?
Agent Midnight: I'm not sure. I thought we would have to sneak around, trigger a fire alarm, then discreetly enter the office and interrogate the VP.
And they aren't paying attention to us, either...
At this point, force seems necessary. That's where you all come in.

In front of the party is a massive, ice spewing-golem modeled after a walrus. A crude Magmere Company logo is scrawled on its chest.
Several stone structures in the room crackle with lightning as two men in the back smile, their axes ready for action.
Behind a crude waist-high steel barrier in the back is seemingly the boss of the operation, holding a boomstick.

Vegeta, Hawk and Fi are slowed by the intense cold.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta, Fi and Nidri are up next.

Fi casts Gravity Bow!
Fi: Duration: 5 minutes
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Chris, was that your prep round or your round 1 action?
Chris: I think that Fi's prep action was iron skin on Fleir.

Cat casts Resistance on Fi!

After hitting Claire, Da Boss ducks behind Frostrus.
Da Boss: Charge already!
Frostrus: Hmpf. I'm not doing this because you said so, dummy.
Frostrus's belly exudes a sheet of ice as he slides forward, threatening to crush all in his path!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Frostrus is trying to trample Vegeta, Claire and Nidri.
You can either:
Take an AoO at a -4 penalty
OR make a Reflex Save, DC 21
If you take the AoO or fail the reflex save, you will take 12
damage
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Frostrus may knock you down if your CMD is 5 less than 18
and you didn't avoid him.
Hernz said he would be absent for 3 days. I'll have Vegeta try to avoid frosty.
Vegeta: (GM) Reflex Save 16
Vegeta is bludgeoned by walrus-like belly, but stands his ground. Frostrus is forced to stop before reaching Nidri.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So Claire needs to either make an AoO at -4 or a Reflex Save DC 21 to avoid 12 damage. If she doesn't evade it, she will be knocked prone.
Meghan:
Claire : Reflex
Save	20
so close
Cat: awwww clearly dropped resistance on the wrong person.
does bless help? :)
Meghan: no. :(
Cat: drat.
does bard song help?

Cat tries, so hard.
Meghan: unless it's a fear or charm based trample, no
Chris: lol
Meghan: but can I cast from prone? 'cause Imma burn his ass.
Cat: lol indeed.
i think you can? but you'll also still provoke?
Meghan: my CMD is 13.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You'll provoke from casting while threatened, but there is no rule against casting while prone
Claire is knocked over as several tons of metal walrus clobbers into her.
Agent Midnight: Acrobatics Check 23
Agent Midnight leaps over the barrier, landing on the other side.
Agent Midnight: BB! I'm here!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, time for you guys to move. Tell me what you want Vegeta to do if it's more complicated than "hit nearest thing"
George: Do I still get a 5' if I'm staggered?
Also, does it look like Mr Walrus there has reach?
Chris: It sounds like you can get a 5' any round where you don't use a move action and don't have movement restrictions.
I'm assuming that he has 15' reach.
George: Nidri, do you want to heal Claire and I'll tag Veg?
Cat: yeah i can heal claire.

Chris is correct about the 5 foot step.
George: Is it valid to cast, 5' step, and touch the target? Spell = Cure moderate.
Cat: pretty sure i've done the cast-move-tap before.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes, you can.

(GM) Chad S. (GM): You'll be free right before round 4's badguyz phase

Cat casts Cure Moderate Wounds!
Cat: Claire - heal 12 HPs.
Meghan: hooray
I'm going to try to get away and get up.
I'm guessing I won't be able to move and attack from prone.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can attack from prone, but you take a -4 to attack.
Also, you're prone.
Meghan: more like cast
I mean really
I want to get out of reach though
like, get behind pylon G
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Standing up is a move action (and provokes an AoO.) Then you'd have another move action.
So you can get stand up and flee, taking an AoO. Or cast defensively while prone and hope Frostrus doesn't attack you.
Meghan: and lose my spell if it fails?
seeing as I don't have a bunch of those left, I don't want to do that.
I'd rather get to a safe distance and then cast.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, you lose your spell if you cast defensively and fail the check.
Meghan: assuming I survive.
so yeah, stand and flee to ...
thereish
do I need to roll?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nope, but Claire provokes for standing up from prone.
Frostrus's AoO vs prone Claire hits AC 23 for 8
Meghan: am I far enough out of reach? maybe i should go further
Frostrus slaps Claire as she stands up and flees.
Meghan: ouch
Claire: Waaah.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It seems to have 10 ft reach.

Agent Midnight: Sentient beings are not your property!

Fleir's AoO: AC 28 for 14 damage
Axeman A tries to stand up, and fails.

Power Attack Hand Slap vs Nidri: AC 25 for 12 damage
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Power Attack Ice Spike vs Hawk: AC 8 for 9 damage
Power Attack Ice Spike vs Nidri: AC 13 for 7 damage
I think Vegeta's AC is 24 (10 + 3 Dex + 5 Wis + 4 Mage Armor + 2 Barkskin), so that hits.
The walrus-shaped golem pummels Fleir, Vegeta and Nidri before ejecting his icicle-tusks vaguely in their direction.
Frostrus beats his chest
Frostrus: The Force will be victorious!
Agent Midnight stands up from prone and runs into melee with Da Boss.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Phew Okay, you guys are up. I think Vegeta's AC is 24, but everything else should be legit.
Vegeta will continue to strike Frostrus unless you have a better plan.
Cat: no, i think "beat up the giant walrus" is a pretty ok plan.
bah. i provoke if i cast huh.
i guess i could cast defensively and try to tap veg with magic weapon.

so figured maybe pylon A still is up
Cat: i guess technically, if i draw my knife and wade in, i can give AM flanking...
Hernz: I should have charged in there instead... oh well
Cat: it's a 3' wall, you wouldn't be able to actually charge...
Hernz: I meant just like, go in there, yup
Cat: yeah probably heh
i'm over here being all like "yeaaaaah, i got your back or whatever"
realtime 12/8 8:06pm
Claire and Hawk combine their efforts to destroy the pylon.
With the Pylons destroyed, the power stops draining from the beetle.
Robot Beetle: Huh? Power's cutoff. Woo! Weapon systems online in...uh...1 minute.
Agent Midnight: I'm not sure we have 1 minute, BB.
Once this fool is done with, I'll free you. Hang tight.
Round 7
'Slinger Slapfight
Agent Midnight: Hits AC 27 for 4 nonlethal damage.
Da Boss: Hits AC 13 for 5 damage.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, party's up.
Hernz: Is movement reduced for the 3ft barrier or do we act like normal move?
I'll attack in case I can... ignore it if I can't (and I'll just move up there)

Vegeta strikes Da Boss!
Vegeta: Attack Result: 6
(Needs 20 to crit.)
Damage Result: 14
Crit: 20/x2
Crit Confirm: 3
Crit Damage: +9
Vegeta: Special: Attacks treated as Magic.
Hernz: um... that should be a 18, not a 6... for some reason didn't use the bonus to attack...
Vegeta: If we
Hernz: if we've been instructed explicitly to use nonlethal, veg can do that... otherwise, regular damage
Vegeta jumps up from cover and punches Da Boss.
Vegeta: let's see you face a real warrior!

With two well-placed arrows, Da Boss is taken out.
Combat Over
Agent Midnight wipes the sweat off her brow and begins working on the console. After pressing a few keys, the glass tube lowers and the giant beetle-shaped golem is able to move.
Robot Beetle: Thanks Midnight. Ah... Do you think you could repair Frosty?
Agent Midnight: Well, this factory should have plenty of spare parts. But I would need time to learn how its internals operate. Every model is different.
Midnight shrugs.

Agent Midnight shrugs
Robot Beetle: Dangit. We don't have time. The Imperial Army is on their way. I intercepted some of their messages.
They're after Giovanni, you and...um...

Robot Beetle looks over the party
Robot Beetle: oh yeah, you guys, too.

Agent Midnight shakes her head
Agent Midnight: Hmm...We may need to split up, then. I'm used to evading the army, and I need to do repairs on BB. Best we go together and distract them.

Agent Midnight hands Claire a small white crystal and a map.
Agent Midnight: See? We're here. You need to get there, in this cave. It's about 1 day away.
This crystal is very important and will let you interact with...something in the center.
Merki didn't even tell me what it does. But he said it was important, and I should leave it in your care.
Agent Midnight climbs over the barrier while the Big Blue Beetle shoves the barrier aside.
Robot Beetle: Howdy. My serial number's annoying to repeat vocally. Just call me BB.

Robot Beetle tries to gently shake hands with everyone
Chris: I suppose Nidri can test a mending on Frostrus.
Vegeta: hmph... this guy was a pushover...
Agent Midnight: For someone of your physical might, I suppose he was a challenge. I couldn't have gotten here without your help.

Cat: yeah, can nidri test mending on frosty?
that and if midnight lets me, i'll give her a cure light before we split up.

Fi looks over the map.
Fi:
Fi : Knowledge-Geography
Check	22
Fi : Survival
Check	13
Yes, I see. Shouldn't be a problem.

Fi shakes BB's hand.
Fi: Glad we were able to be of assistance.
realtime 12/12 12:47pm
Agent Midnight is glad to accept aid from Nidri.
Mending doesn't seem to do much to the golem.
Cat: hub magic missile: 29

Cat casts Cure Light on Agent Midnight!
Cat: heal 6 HPs.
Hernz: Hub missile... nice... how'd we do? Sorry again I had to bail early!
Chris: Aside from Manny getting killed we did well. Ember finished it up with the missile. Then she went and helped another set of Frost Elves that got ambushed by frost worms. The Frost Elves Hunters that came back by to pick up the mammoths were impressed by only having one death among our group.
George: Yeah, you guys managed to avoid the TPK. I guess I'll have to try harder next time.
Hernz: lol
Ok, so looks like we're heading out!
realtime 12/13 8:12pm
Nidri helps close most of Agent Midnight's wounds before splitting up
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, Manny kind of ate it there.
Shylye has Liberating Command, but she spent all of her magic casting Endure Elements.
Agent Midnight: The Draugh Army... brings back memories. Let's go, BB.
Robot Beetle: Yeah! You think they found Scarlet?
Agent Midnight: Doubtful- whoa!
The Big, Blue Beetle grabs Agent Midnight and pulls her in. Its robot shell reforms into a large steel ball, and rapidly rolls out of the room.
Hernz: they leave frostrus and da boss there?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup, those two remain.

(GM) Chad S. (GM): I've added a "Loot from Magmere Factory" document
Hernz: as far as your email on manny feats... we do have a lot of travel and downtime for crafting...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah. Plus Manny is in so much debt, lol. He could pay some of it off by making goods for you all.
Hernz: though other than astera and you, we don't use much armor... but would be a source of income since George lets you sell items for the full price? ;) lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): All Manny can do is +1 enhancements right now because his caster level is 5. Ugh
There's a trait that can boost it by 2 but I'd need... a feat
Vegeta: but still, since you need the 1/2 the money or whatever up front, it doesnt matter... make multiple +1s would take the same time as a +2 for the money

Vegeta teaches the party some economics
Hernz: so yeah, you'd be looking more to make stuff to sell to then have money to buy the stuff you need
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lol, ooc conversations for another game
Yeah.
Vegeta manages to find some loot. Nothing more than the party, an unconscious boss, and the whirr of machinery lie in the factory.
Vegeta: Alright Fi, which way do we go per the map?
Fi figures out a route out of the factory and away from the Draugh Imperial Army.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I assume you guys are fleeing the army.
George: Wait, we're not charging the army?
Hernz: midnight told us to flee it and go to this place on the map where merki wanted us to go
right?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup, that's her plan
Seems like it will take a day or so to get there.
The imperial army seems distracted fighting Magmere agents.
George: Ok then, off we go.
They also seem distracted chasing the last known wareabouts of "the agent".
The rest of the day is surprisingly uneventful.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Feel free to heal up at camp.
I'll roll for watches tomorrow.
Cat: whoever wants healing before we go to sleep, let me know.
Hernz: I think my being hurt was a hit that shouldn't have hit me... I should be at full I think...
