[LPF] Ryall's Estate

[Qik]

OOC: No worries, jk. How about Quioan watches for about an hour, then we have Daylily, Kazanto, and Hlaalen at 3/2.5/2.5 hours each? Means we're sleeping in a bit, but that way both Q. and Relic can get the sleep they need. Otherwise, we could just go D./K./H. at ~3 hours each. FYI, going to be running around a bit today, may not be back online until the evening.

[sblock=OOC watch planning]Pathfinder rules are really vague on sleep, except to say that wizards need 8 hours of (uninterrupted) rest to prepare spells, which then takes an hour. It's probably best at this point to plan for about ten hours of camping.

• Q will watch 1 hour (0-1), sleep 8, prep spells 1.
• Daylily will sleep 1, watch 4 (1-5), sleep 5. If you want to toss a Fort save my way for shorting the 8 hours down to 6, fair enough. I'd rather have Daylily take it over the others.
• Kaz will sleep 5, watch 2 (5-7), sleep 3.
• Hlaalin will sleep 7, watch 2 (7-9) , sleep 1.
• Relic will sleep 8, prep 1, and have 1 free hour.

During the last hour, Q and Relic will both be awake and possibly prepping spells.[/sblock]

I'll agree to this.

OOC: Should be fine. I only need 2 minutes to fill my extract slots.

 

[Qik]

OOC: Good plan, Sys. Maquise, I'm jealous.

 

[jbear]

OOC: That's a good plan. Relic especially likes it! During his free hour he'll do some yoga Joking! He'll "watch" the last hour while he prepares everyone a nice breakfast taking kebab sized chunks off the pork-monster and skewering them on sticks to cook over the coals of the still hot embers from the fire I'm sure someone is going to start at some point when the night gets a bit too chilly. I'll be more useful/less blind when I reach level 2 and gain darkvision. Relic will also check if the remains of the hawk remain frozen in his sack, if not he will use Ray of Frost to freeze it again so it doesn't start rotting on the way back to town.

[sblock=Spells Prepared] Cantrips: 1 Daze, 2 Resistance, 3 Ray of Frost
Lvl 1: Charm Person, Sleep, Shocking Grasp [/sblock]

 

[Qik]

OOC: Any reason you're memorizing Daze twice? Considering you get unlimited uses out of it... My spells: 0: Ghost Sound, Detect Magic, Message 1: Enlarge Person, Mage Armor, Gravity Bow

GM: Repeated apologies for the delay, but yesterday was especially crazy at work, and as you can see below, I had more to prep for this post than just a pretty morning description.

[sblock=ooc]

Daylily will sleep 1, watch 4 (1-5), sleep 5. If you want to toss a Fort save my way for shorting the 8 hours down to 6, fair enough. I'd rather have Daylily take it over the others.

As you said, Pathfinder's pretty vague on sleep deprivation. If you'd decided to travel all night without rest, I'd have asked for some Con checks, but I know plenty of people who get by on 6 hours a night, none of whom are in heroic physical condition, so it would seem overmuch to ask for one as far as I'm concerned.[/sblock]

The party settles in for the night, sleepers setting their bags and arms nearby while the watch cycles through the night. The stars and moon are more than bright enough for the elves and Kazanto, and by the time Hlaalin wakes for his own shift, it's cold enough that he needn't fear making the others too warm as he piles on more wood to help his normal human vision.

The first hour of the shift passes without incident, and the alchemist lets him mind wander, mulling over an elixir formula he's been contemplating, and is thus startled when he hears low growling, and spins around. The others wake to the sound of menacing barking, and see a pair of wolves rushing Hlaalin!

[sblock=ooc]Just so no one thinks I'm picking on Hlaalin, I did roll randomly for when this attack would happen:

Hour of attack. (1d10=9)

Stealth and perception checks:
Wolf stealth: Wolves Stealth (1d20+6=19)
Hlaalin perception: Perception vs. Wolves (1d20+5=8)
And, on the off chance a sleeping party member was especially lucky: Sleeping perception checks: Relic, Quioan, Daylily, Kazanto (1d20-11=2, 1d20-6=7, 1d20-4=-3, 1d20-11=-4)

Sorry, Hlaalin, but the dice, they were against you. The wolves moved to Hlaalin in the surprise round. We're now in round one. Wolf initiative is 10. Anyone rolling above that can act before them.

Sleepers: No one was wearing anything heavier than light armor, so I assumed you were sleeping in it (Pathfinder has no penalty for that, at least). No need to worry about donning armor. However, unless someone can convince me you were sleeping standing up (and you'd have to work pretty hard on that one), you're prone. Standing from prone is a move action. Drawing / readying a weapon is also a move action.

Casters haven't finished their rest and prep yet, so previous expenditures still apply. My records indicate the following. Let me know if I'm off somewhere:

Kazanto: -1 HP, used: 2x Bless
Relic: Used: sleep
Quioan: used: 1 arrow, enlarge person
Daylily: used: 2 rounds rage
Hlaalin: used: 1 bomb[/sblock]

 

[Systole]

As the wolves advance on Hlaalin, Daylily mutters in his sleep, "You no ... zzz ... take bacon."

OOC: If Hlaalin goes first and steps back: Action #1: Stand up. Action #2: Move approximately in front of Hlaalin while drawing BFH (preferably in a way that doesn't draw AoO). If Hlaalin is standing his ground or Daylily goes first: Action #1: Stand up. Action #2: Move to flank the northern wolf while drawing BFH (preferably in a way that doesn't draw AoO). EDIT: Whoo-hoo! Natural 1! This means jbear will roll a 20, I'm sure. Assuming things have turned into a complete cluster by the time Daylily acts, he may change his actions. Probably not much.

OOC: Getting back at us for downing the boar so easily?

Quioan's eyes snap open to daylight as the sound of growling wolves hits his eyes. On his feet in an instant, he assimilates the situation even as he moves into action. Realizing that his decision lies between moving in position to cast a spell (which, if the wolves resist, would place him twenty feet from his weapons and therefore defenseless) and attacking with his bow from his current position, Quioan opts for the latter. Moving his left hand in the familiar arcane patterns and muttering under his breath, his right hand resting on his bow, Quioan felt a rush of weighted energy surge through his body and lodge itself into his weapon. The spell complete, he began to lift his bow and sight his target...

OOC: My debate was between rushing in close with the intention of casting color spray next round or to stick where I am and use my bow. As I wrote IC, the former was too much of an all-or-nothing move for my liking. I also figured it made sense to cast gravity bow, since it was going to be until next round until I could fire anyway. Initiative: 1d20+5=11 Round 1 Actions: Stand (move action), Cast Gravity Bow (standard action) I considered listing my actions for next round as well, but figured I would hold off. jk, just for future reference, do you have a preference in that regard (acting one round at a time or queuing them up if it's doable)? Also, I've used Mage Armor in addition to the expenditures you've listed.
