[Pathfinder] Burnt Offerings

[CanadienneBacon]

I'll be out of town Friday evening through Sunday. Catch up with ya'll on Monday afternoon. Before I head out tonight I'll look in the IC to see if posts for Talashia and Taran have appeared, meriting a DM response.

 

[Shayuri]

I thought I posted...doing a magnificent 2 points of damage...

Was that last turn?

Argh. *holds head*

I'll go check.

 

[Ambrus]

Round three actions have all been posted for Talashia, Taran and Tac. We're waiting on the results and the goblins' actions to proceed.

Eh. Scheisse.

I seem to be the victim of my own strategy to update mid-round; forgot to scroll up to look for posts...for the last couple of days I've only been seeing jkason's post for Tac.

Shayuri, I'm rolling damage for everyone. You can stop providing links to damage rolls.

Apologies for the delay. Here is the completed combat post. Map forthcoming.

Grokk and Talashia have been wounded, Grokk badly so. All foes (save for the fleeing Goblin4) are dead, and nothing is spotted at hand. If someone wants to track down Goblin4, let me know and we'll handle that come Monday after I return home. The goblin has a big head start on you, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

As I mentioned in my IC post, Sanstone intends to give chase on the fleeing goblin right after the harrying goblin was dispatched. I'll post IC to that effect.

The distance isn't so much that a decent bow or crossbow shot could dispatch it though; Sandstone just doesn't happen to carry ranged weapons.

Advance to W9 and attack goblin 3 if it remains alive, charging if possible; Melee bite +4 (1d6+4). If it's been felled then double move instead to V16 to pursue goblin 4.

I read that as Sandstone would attack Goblin3, and would only pursue Goblin4 if Goblin3 had been taken care of (it hadn't yet). Now that Goblin3's been felled, we can have Sandstone give chase after Goblin4 (but, again, gotta wait 'til Monday when I get back).

The distance isn't so much that a decent bow or crossbow shot could dispatch it though; Sandstone just doesn't happen to carry ranged weapons.

Excepting, of course, any twists in the byway and/or the the possibility that the creature turns between buildings.

It might certainly do that eventually but there seems to be a solid wall of buildings along the east side of the thoroughfare along which the goblin is fleeing; all the way past the cathedral facade. So during the rest of round three at least and probably into round four it'd seem that anyone stepping around the corner building would have a clear shot at the fleeing creature. If it slows down to round corners then all the better; it'll make it that much easier to catch up.

XP has been posted. I ended up waiting until the last of the goblins in the most recent encounter had been dispatched before tallying and posting XP, which is why I'm posting XP today vice early last week.

Please double check the treasure log in the post to which I've linked above. I believe the log is accurate, reflecting items searched for and taken from the encounter at the bonfire with the warchanter and her minions. I don't believe anyone had time to search for and take any other treasure--the pace early on kept everyone hopping. If I'm wrong, let me know.

In attending my husband's 20th high school reunion this weekend, I seem to have caught a rather unpleasant cold. I need to rest for a bit around lunch but will try my best to post a continuation in the IC this afternoon.

I sent an e-mail last week to Merlin's Shadow, to the address he registered on EN World, but have yet to receive a response. He disappeared from posting around the time the server went down in July, but his "Last Seen" status registers as 17 August 2009. I'll add his name to the thread title, indicating we're paging him. If he doesn't respond within three days, I'll NPC him to a stopping point and we'll make other arrangements for the role of party healer at that time.
