Should We Tempt Fate?

Is there any interest in reviving this game. We did not get very far into the 3rd adventure before things stalled. I realize it has been two years since we last tried but I have everything we need to pick it back up again.

I would need to dig up my hard copy of the adventure as I am not sure where I put it. Fortunately I do have an electronic copy so that is not a show stopper.

If we do start this up again, are we good with the five players that we have or do we want to invite someone else? Six players for this format is my limit.

Willing to Revive this Game Too

I am willing to revive this PBB game too. I just need a Post from Steve to complete the last turn and we can proceed.

Fortress of the Yuan-Ti – Turn Results 4

Natalya gave her hips an exaggerated yet inspiring shake and moved for forward. The bard cast a grease spell on Blart in hopes of helping the half-orc escape the clutched of the enormous snake. Dargoth stepped sideways and attacked the snake with his bastard sword. One of his attacks hit and dealt 19 damage. Blart tried to escape the clutch of the snake but failed even with the assistance of the grease spell.

The snake squeezed Blart again and dealt 29 damage and then released the half-orc go.

Banjo stepped forward and targeted the snake with a scorching ray spell. Both rays hit the target and dealt 50 damage. Clint attacked with a full series of blows from Merthύvial and Organripper.  His flanking position allowed the rogue to strike successfully twice. The weapons dealt 36 and 26 damage.

The naga cast a lightning bolt spell which targeted Dargoth, Thurstan, Mr.Wolfe and Blart. Dargoth and Thurstan took the brunt of the damage. Each was dealt 30 damage while Blart took 15 damage. Mr. Wolfe managed to be missed completely.

Thurstan channeled positive energy to heal the wounded by 20. Mr. Wolfe attacked the snake with his hasted bite attack, hitting twice and dealt 17 and 39 damage.

A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level, see page 206), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.)

Fortress of the Yuan-Ti - Turn Results 3

At the signs of pending combat, Natalya began to dance, magically inspiring courage (and possibly other things) amongst the party. Dargoth moved forward to attack the enormous snake. The creature struck at the fighter as he closed but it missed the mark. Dargoth swung his bastard sword but missed the monster. Inspired by both Natalya’s dance and Dargoth’s bravery, Blart moved forward to attack the snake. Again the monster struck at the approaching hero. This time the snake stuck true and dealt 23 damage to the half-orc and pulled him into a death grip. In the grasp of the snake, Blart abandoned his two-handed earth breaker and attacked the beast with his cestus. The resulting attack dealt 14 damage. The snake squeezed the half-orc for an additional 25 damage.

Clint surveyed the scene, looking for his best tactical position. While the rogue was appraising, Banjo decided to stay put and cast a Haste spell targeting himself, Natalya, Thurstan, Mr. Wolfe and Clint. Seeing that the creature was currently occupied with Blart, the elf moved with a burst of speed to get to the other side of the creature and attacked. The rogue struck a blow with Merthύvial, dealing 26 damage. Clint’s new positioned himself by the well hoping the set up a flank with Dargoth in the future.

The naga cast a spell upon herself and shouted at the villagers to get out of her way. They complied, splitting to either side of the snake woman.

Bestride his mount, Thurstan cast Bull’s Strength on Mr. Wolfe and spurred the companion forward into battle. The wolf closed with the snake and snapped with his mighty jaws. The bite hit and dealt 16 damage.
