"Sure. Business. Go ahead, I'll finish my breakfast", Arrdzu replies, ear twitching. Sure, business. (I just hope they remember to be careful around the likes Mr. Ghouvu-Dor...)

Note that ifreedman said to move to the last pillar, not to take on the fortress too... 😇

All we have to do is subtract -2 from all our rolls and DCs to simulate being 2 levels lower. Oh, and not use the things we got on lv. 7 and 8.

They merely have total concealment for a 50% miss chance (that Edmund's Blind Fighting doesn't help with unfortunately).

This is beyond mere Rogues, Unchained or not. AC, to-hit and move speed are the only things a Rogue can mess with with their sneak attacks.

And that all of them, even the, err, 'unsavoury' ones represents facets of our mortal lives. So every god's dogma entails some kernel of truth, some insight, advice even, how to life our lives in accordance with fate itself. It becomes, therefore, a question of vital importance how we can observe the tenets and rules of the gods, when they often seem to contradict each other. Many a scholar will protest here and argue, the gods' tenets do not seem to contradict each other, they do. However, each god or goddess, Good or Evil, Lawful or Chaotic, represents facets of our reality, and they are so far above us mere mortals in understanding the very fabric of reality, that the mere notion we could fathom their intentions must be regarded as the pinnacle of hubris." "And yet, perhaps there is a way to solve these seeming contradictions. Because the very order of the multiverse is unknowable to us, any apparent contradiction must be the result of our imperfect understanding thereof. After all, the very idea of an universal order being contradictory is in itself contradictory." "I only ever got to read fragments of philosophical treaties about the subject, but the gist seems to be, since we mortals are nearly blind to the universal order, we are akin to stumbling through a badly lit room full of traps. No matter how agile or careful we are, we will stumble, even fall. Yet, the mere inevitability of us committing errors does not absolve us of the responsibility of always looking for the Path to Perfection, no matter how difficult this may be. Someone who commits an error for all the right reasons may be acting erroneously, but not blasphemously, and the gods will accept repentance. Those who act in bad faith, however, will cause damage to their very souls, no matter what dogma they cleave to, and will find their Path to Perfection being hindered." "Therefore: If one is to judge the actions of another, one must always consider intention: If someone acts in error, they need to be stopped from going down the wrong path, and they shall do restitution for the damage they caused. Those who blaspheme on the other hand, deserve harsh punishment and will not find mercy in the eyes of the gods without honest penitence." "Therefore, I am compelled to ask what dogma you were following when you decided to destroy that old temple? Such an act would be considered blasphemous by Irori and Torag after all."

So we are over-leveled, huh? And here I thought, we were doing so well because of good tactics... 😞 I mean, those Charau-Ka had a +20 to to-hit, . So I figured, we were kinda on-par here.

So, if Edmund manages to land a shot with Sneak Attack, he can also apply a debilitation. I'd consider lowering their AC by -2 for everybody, or would you rather he tries to affect to-hit or move speed instead?

"Say, Pendergrast Effendi, as a scholar, certainly your interests do not just cover archaeology. Even to just do this field of study justice, you need to have a broad education and solid knowledge base. And not just about the natural world, flora, fauna and such, but also the metaphysical matters. religion, philosophy and such. I am trying to live up to Irori's teachings, flawed as my attempts may be at times. Of course, I also only ever managed to find mere fragments of his holy scripture. What about you, Pendergrast Effendi? "

Yeah, that was the idea. Don't wanna suck up those opportunity attacks. Uh, help me out here please, what kind of action is it to use Stealth to hide from a creature you have concealment from (Jalabar being in the steam giving concealment cuts both ways after all)? If Edmund can hide as part of moving, say, 10 feet east, then he can snipe Jalabar for sneak attack damage.

Why should they bind it? They'll either tell it to scram or kill it so it can't give away their location. So we kinda need to decide where to go: Pillar or Town?

So maybe let us go to Akrivel first then. Drop of the Biloko somewhere along the way, then stock up on stuff. Maybe Samrod can pick up his dragon-head helmet and test it in the last pillar fight before we go for the stronghold.

Death world, not dead world. Guess those need all the tech they can get just to survive. And have to pay a premium for everything, so people will bother to go there.

Bad Rogue! You are not supposed to give that poor, man-eating fey critter indigestion on purpose! No cookie!
