Going to take a break for a minute, think I addressed everything that need to be addressed in the game thread. If I missed something, let me know.

To Do:

Enjoying our game thusly! Great pace, everyone doing great!

So, that didn't go exactly as I had planned. The diplomacy check succeeding really threw off the encounter, I adjusted the Orc's CR to compensate a little, but you guys still managed it very easily. Will take that into account for future encounters. At the end of the day though, I'm not mad about it. The plan was to ramp it up along the way. Just... Yea, didn't expect to not get a single hit in. lol.

Loot:
Axe (Don't know where you guys got vardatch from, did I say Vardatch? I thought I was pretty consistent with Axe.)
Breastplate
Dagger x5
Bloodstained leather armor x2
6 days rations

Quote:
Spells granted by Heroic Paths are spell-like abilities, at will, once a day. This is typically for a spell like.

In the magic section of Adventures in midnight I put this in there:
[ - ] Abilities that function like Spells:
Abilities that function like Spells:
• Spell-like abilities (Sp): Function like spells, provoke attacks of opportunity, and are detectable by Astiraxes.
• Supernatural abilities (Su): Magical in nature, but internal and not detectable by Astiraxes. Do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
• Extraordinary abilities (Ex): Mundane abilities not magical in origin, cannot be detected by magical means and do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
So, they are detectable... buuut Powers granted by Heroic Paths are Innate Magic, so you can cast them around Black Mirrors without worry of them being absorbed/depressed.
@HeroOfSometimes: Very helpful thank you. I am going to be better than I have been about trying to help supply Magic/Pathfinder 1E info when I only have a few seconds at work between tasks to verify...i.e. I will stop 'helping' in that way, I mean.


To all others, I am sorry for any rules related confusion and I will do better and let GM answer first! ;)

I am slightly confused. I think it is because people are not reading everyone's post and just posting.

Úlfr is decapitating the Orc and 2 Thugs. One by One.
Seelah is tying one up as a prisoner.

I was just trying to loot them to make sure IF they wake up they didn't have anything important on them.


Petra and Azote are healing the One Armed Halfing.

The beast wheels on the source of his pain and embarrassment, boots chewing splinters. In a few thunderous strides he almost finds his target, but Seelah, guardian in spirit and fortune, intervene; his vardatch whistles a murderous arc through smoky air. The blade carves only the odor of foul cider.
I thought it was an axe too, but I can see there being some confusion. XD

Was this everything? I think you said something about a shortsword also.

I plan on only taking a Dagger and the Rations. (Rations for everyone use not just mine)

Sorry, guys, wife let me drink yesterday. 🤣

Axe, no vardatch.
Change Dagger x5, to short sword x2, Dagger x3.

I did intend for them to have a short sword a piece, I forgot about that. Glad none of those attacks hit. 😬
Jun 25, 2025 9:47 pm
Well that ruins everything (sarcasm). How is Ulfr going to cut off an orc and a thug's head with only an axe...? XD
Jun 25, 2025 9:54 pm
I'd rather not describe the process of hacking into a corpses neck with an axe, I'll just say he's really strong and does it right away.

This game is gonna border on sadism enough as it is. I don't wanna be unnecessarlly gorey to boot, lol.
Jun 25, 2025 10:06 pm
Yep, hey, not trying to be a hypocrite, like I said, it's gonna get messy. I deliberately avoided much discussion/description of gore, lol. But the themes still need to be present, the setting is brutal. Gotta convey that.
Jun 25, 2025 10:10 pm
Is it a great axe or a battle axe?
Jun 25, 2025 10:47 pm
Is the Orc and 2 thugs both beheaded?

Battleaxe.

One colab to be beheaded, I believe.

Edit: He's not dead yet though.

Yea, he's beheaded two so far. The one Petra tired up isn't dead yet.
Jun 25, 2025 10:52 pm
Yes, 1 thug has a single hp left, if I read that correctly. That’s the one I’d intended Seelah to bind up.
Jun 25, 2025 10:54 pm
Just to be clear, he was at 0 when he collapsed.
Jun 25, 2025 10:57 pm
Copy that.
