That roll gm Bloodgargler made


I will be away this weekend, but will try to check in when I have service (No map Updates until Monday)


Female Elf Bard (Dervish Dancer) 4/Fighter 1

Pretty sure that was a roll Yarzoth made to continue spellcasting after she took damage from Iolana.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

I think it was a concentration check too.


Dorf

Whoops


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

It took one month to kill the snake priestess. What do we want to do now?
Iolana spent everything she had,and i think all of us is in need of resting.
There is still more to explore here,or are we going straight to the chapter's end?


Dorf

Gatherine wants a chupacabra trophy


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

I thought Iolana was examining the holy symbol Gatherine. Can you stomp on something else?


So yeah... It will take some time to figure out and/or take care of...

1) the workings of this island which make it difficult to leave

2) other junk Yarzoth was researching... probably whatever she was all rattled up about in particular.

3) gathering other castaways

4) getting a Mugambi's face a tan.

5) getting off the island

(don't forget. there is a room in the ceiling of this chamber What was the last thing she was trying to do when you killed her?)


(...To get in the room in the ceiling of the chamber?)

Never!


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Iolana noticed she was reaching for a statue in the back room when she died,but she is busy atm.

Bloodgargler:

And i know what she was trying to do,but Iolana doesn't,and she has no gaseous form potion or spell. I'll leave this for the others.

I think GM mentioned there is a hole in the roof or floor, but much too narrow for any of us to squeeze in ?


There is more of this to explore too by the way.
After the first room with the spear-throwing skellies on the walkway, you turned left at the intersection and never went the other way.


Dorf

In hindsight I just realized I wasted a perfectly good potion of gaseous form


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Forgot the armor check pen. The total Climb is 15 so.


You cannot get to the hidden room... tough to describe, but..
The bat-winged statue is part of a whirlwind. The whirlwind is a coiled iron cone-shape with little space ( gaps just a few inches)
The top of the whirlwind meets the ceiling, and within the center is the opening for the room above.

That is why becoming ethereal was needed to get there.


Ha... if you go through the posts in gameplay, you might see how much I wanted to ask "But are you touching it?"

Was sure at first Gatherine was going to get the "chupacabra curse", but really it would have been more Iolana's kind of luck.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

I'ld have right away, only i wasn't there.

But now that i read it i'm glad i made the save :) Iolana likes herself as she is now.


Dorf

That would be awesome bad


There are a few more rooms...

It will take some more time to go through Yarzoth's research, but you can take the journals with you.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

I prefer to finish the exploration and then read Yarzoth's research.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Again in stand-by ?


Dorf

Heya!


There is a way to get out of the hidden chamber.
Very similar to how you got in.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

I think it is pretty obvious Iolana is doing just that, that is looking for a way to exit.Will wait on the others.


Cut and paste from Campaign Info

>Cannibal camp - Jask and Gelik have presumably been taken here. There appear to be three buildings, quite a few tents, and a lighthouse.
Completed: Cannibals have been killed, Jask and Gelik rescued, and the camp with the lighthouse is under PC control.

>Ieanna and the Captain - After tracking them across half the island, it is assumed they have traveled to the cannibal camp.
Completed: Ieanna was the serpentfolk BBEG, the captain was turned into a wight... both killed by PCs

>Darkness below - Nothing is really known. Aycenia mentioned Jincy the druidess was investigating some powerful darkness below.
Completed: The ancient Azlanti ruins.

>The Tears of Grog undead vs undead natives - Brother and sister betrayed, brutalized, and murdered by Cheliaxian mercenaries... continue decades after their death, to wage war against those men they have cursed.
Nearly Complete: From what you have learned of the Zura altar (bat-winged statue), undead cannot be free until the altar is destroyed.

>The Walking Blight - Vegepygmies are destroying the foliage of the island, and turning it into a grey toxic sludge. They are currently on the small northwest island.

>Glean what you can from Yarzoth's notes

>Find other castaways

>Get off the island


Tome 1 - The first tome to which you devote your full attention happens to be about the bat-winged statue itself... Yarzoth refers to her as "Zura".
Zura, whirlwind, and pedestal are referred to as the "Altar".

Though the altar is not the source of this island's power, it sustains that power by slowly "feeding" it the souls it consumes from those who die here, or in the reefs and rocks just off her shores.

It also lures the unquiet dead which help provide "sacrifices" on land.

As long as the altar exists, the centuries worth of dead tethered to the Shiv can never rest.

Tome 2 - (only skimmed) The elements (intensity of waves, weather, and even many reefs) may be commanded to draw sea vessels to the dangerous shores, and to weaken potential enemies into banged-up castaways.

Tome 5 - Smearing blood in the mouth of either Zura (the one here at the altar or the head above) will grant you an ethereal form until you arrive in front of the other.


The "ancient azlanti secret" within tome 1 is the reason that the ghosts you dealt with and assisted found no peace,
Such as...
The native brother and sister (aka shredded man and chained one) who rose every night on Kekkaw's side of the island.
Versus
The ghost captain (from whom Gatherine got the shield on her little solo adventure.) and his merry zombies on the other side.

Truk ? Syndlara ?


Female Elf Bard (Dervish Dancer) 4/Fighter 1

Still here. Syn's waiting downstairs in the main room, waiting on Mugambi and Iolana to come down.


Male Half-Orc Druid 8/Cleric 1 | HP: 116/116 l AC: 26 (30 with buffs, 32 vs the first 3 attacks per round) /T: 12/FF: 24 l Fort: +15*, Ref: +5*, W: +14* l Init: +0 l Per: +15; Low-light vision l Movement: 30 *Hardy: Gain +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities *Familiar:51/51

I'm here too.


I need at least a second PC to confirm the party's action...
whether leave the room to explore or find a safe place to rest, stay here to rest... etc

also Mugambi has suggested destroying the altar.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Who else has cure-type abilities ? Not Iolana apart from some potion.
Syndlara and Garborn ?


Just Syndlara. Garborn doesn't have any prepared.


Dorf

Sorry i ain't been active.Kinda broke some fingers.

Don't tell me you cannot post telekinetically, pressing keys with sheer willpower :P

Hope it isn't serious as it sounds.


Dorf

My 400 pound sister fell into a hole because she was texting,I grabbed her and my fractured all the fingers of my dominate hand grabbing hold of her and supporting her ass so I could haul her to safety.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

I just read somewhere on the web that the "Arrow to the knee" catchphrase from skyrim guards actually means the guard got married ; looks like this is what "getting an arrow to the knee" meant in ancient norse culture.
Anyone heard about this ?

It's just a silly rumor. Snopes and other sites say there's nothing to support this.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

I know one is not supposed to believe everything he read on the web, but just in case......this is why i ask.


Wonder if gaseous clouds have to breathe.


Sooo... who picked this up?

Staff of Malikadna CL8
1 charge - light
1 charge - air bubble


Mugambi, I think.

EDIT: Yeah, looks like it was Mugambi.


"Three goggles" sign means 'f--- you' in Brazil.

Is that true?


Oracle lvl 4 [ HP 26/34 | AC 21 T 12 FF 19 | CMD 17 | F +3 R +3 W +3 | Init +2 Per -2]

I have no idea what a "three goggles" gesture is.

EDIT: Ok, after following the link I think I understand. But why dothey call three google? Since you are using both hands in front of both eyes shouldn't it be called two google?


Not sure, really.

Well, one google can be considered offensive but it depends of the context in which the gesture is made. It can mean "ok" or "b%tthole". But to tell you the truth the gesture is almost never used at all. I guess they just wanted to play it safe and dont provide possible excuses for bad behavior during the matches.

My father taught me a trick you can you when you don't understand something.
You go out into the garden, find a big rock and bash your head against it ten times.
One of three things can happen, you either understand PERFECTLY, or you don't understand but no longer care, or you forget it completely.
Ah, good times...
