Ellara: This surprises me. Mages tend to pay top coin for their experiments, and it's never wise to anger magi with shoddy ingredients...
Less dubious in terms of quality, more dubious in terms of morality. Think virgin's blood, unicorn horn and Celestial's Creatures skin.
That's what I figured. :P
Lady Karnelia, you gonna respond or should I move on without you?
Sorry about the delay. Been a crazy end of week.
I say we follow it. If it's a bad lead... well, we have ways of dealing with that. XD
I agree with this plan.
As for dealing with it... you know what they say about the quiet ones. >:D
Should it be relevant, Ellara has Scent right now.
As a mostly-random note, Ellara's probably going to dip into Enhancement once she's done with Alteration. XD After she has the forms, she can start getting magical enhancements for her attacks, various weapon properties, that sort of thing. It seems like the best choice, given her theme.
I hope I'm not moving along too quickly. I got the impression there was a need for someone to be the dumb idiot rushing headlong forward. :P
Heh, I still have a spell pick left, dunno what to do with it.
With a PBP game, moving along is better than stagnating.
Karnelia, shield of faith grants a deflection bonus, but shield grants a shield bonus. The guys I'm fighting are touch attacks, so deflection would be appreciated.
Woops! Uh... I actually have both available. Jon, mind if we pretend I "didn't" screw that up?
Screw up? What screw up? I saw nothing.
The pointing and laughing are on a completely unrelated topic. Hehe...butts.
Well, at this point I'm wishing I had picked one of the stronger PoW classes for my cheese dip so that I could recover Eldritch shield.... Please hit the clone please hit the clone please hit the clone. :P
So, is that I(35) undead right in front of the door still 'alive', or...?
No! He's quite undead. Haven't you been paying attention?
But in that he still has hit points and such...yet, although not very many.
All right - you only posted the actions for one of them, so I wasn't totally sure. XD
Oh dear.
The closest undead crumbles under Julie's strike with a shriek, and it's companion howls in rage and horror.
Had led me to believe that it was down, hence my entering the room. My action now makes no sense. (And my position appears to have vanished off the map.
Um...
I am also confused. And where is the secret door?
There were two, remember? One's crumbled, the third has run. If people want to ret-con events, feel free.
I'll mark the secret door.
Yes, but there are* still two on the map, and we thought the one in the doorway fighting Julie died.
*were
Yeah, apparently I failed to delete one. I have no idea why. But yes, the one in the door crumbled, the other legged it.
That is a very useful magical item. Is anyone interested in it? I could certainly make use of such a garment. I've already got quite a handful of scrolls on hand.
I'll pass. Ellara's theme is mostly 'internal' power. She's not the scroll-using type. XD
I'm not even sure how that item'd interact with a sphere caster. You take it.
Spheres has a conversion system to help with that. XD It's mostly about using good sense, though, with the occasional spell replacement as needed.
So it sounds like Lady Karnelia is the winner. Most interested, and most able to use it.
Question: Are we using the Diviner's Handbook for Spheres of Power?
I haven't got it, so unless it's on the Wiki or I go grab it...
Of course it's on the wiki. XD
Then yup.
*Adds the alternate divinations*
At 10 minutes a pop right now, I'm proooobably not going to use most of them very often, but they're there if I want 'em. XD
I'll be heading on holiday tomorrow. While I think the place I'm going has internet, if I'm not around, that's why.
Well, the Hero Lab files got an update, so now I can actually pick and choose forms within the system. That's... gonna be helpful. XD
Still doesn't help those of us who didn't get in on the Kickstarter.
Well, the files are for sale if you ever feel like picking them up. They're pretty solid now, actually, and I think the plan is to expand them with the handbooks in the nearish future... XD
Cool, I hadn't seen that.
Also, they just put out the beta for the Shapeshifter's Handbook... Looks like I'm going to (eventually) have plenty of new options. XD Which is fantastic, 'cuz I'm going to have talents for days anyway, and I was worried about running out of good Alteration choices...
I sense a disturbance in the game - as if a million grunts were suddenly silenced by a rampaging PC that looks like Godzilla.
Sorry, I've been slipping, it's a crazy period at work and I'm generally super tired when I get home.
Eh, I'm on holiday, so no worries.
Julie approaches the control panel, and presses an important looking button.
And that was when we found out whoever built this place had read the Evil Overlord List...

I didn't say I pressed the MOST important looking button. :P
Well...I did create it, and I have read the Evil Overlord List...
For reasons I can't begin to fathom, Google has decided that I can only view, not edit, the map. Which is nice of it, really. I'll see if I can make it behave later.
My personal life has caused me some issues. I should be posting again in a day or twos time. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the patience. While life isn't resolved, I've calmed down about it, and shall get back to the postings.
Normal service will be resumed later.
Back and ready to continue if you guys are.
