Razmir the man known as the living god is making his move expanding into neighboring nations. It seems nobody can stop him as his power truly seems to be that of a god. A select few know the secret of his power and are taking steps to end his rule with the help of another who wields the same power as Razmir. Sazed Khaim a member of the old order of the keepers.

Houserules:
Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.
Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.
if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.
Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.
Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...
Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: Everyone have fun.
Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).
Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

Devyhn comes out of his beduddlement to see his comrades attacking a large writhing plant. Seeing Lysander using his axe, Devyhn draws his sickle and swings at the green menace.

OK, I'm back from holiday. I've caught up and Achren is diving down to the plant ready to attack next turn. Erik I think you will have to consider jumping in or waiting until someone with good swim/acrobatics can relieve you; the others are already attacking the plant. Is that all correct?
Pretty much you can post your action for this turn, you dove into the water last turn and now your around 15 feet from the plant, be warned it has reach.
Erik there is nothing there to attach the rope too. You will have to find a way to make the rope stay like if you had something you could stab into the rock...

Still holding his breath with the control learned in the monastery as a younger man, Bleyz takes a few rounds to search for anything of value around the plant. (Maybe the plant killed other unwary adventurers and their remains and possibly gear are nearby). When he's done searching, he takes anything he might have found and swims for the surface.
In the muddy waters in the bottom of the chamber you find a rotting leather pouch of gems. There are a total 13 small gems in the satchel,
mostly quartz, jasper, and agate, each worth 50 gp. You see the remains of weapons and armors as well but they are rusted up and useless.

Lysander also takes 20 and swims to the surface before climbing out of the water. He hands the axe back to Devyhn and reclaims his bow, wishing he had a way to stay dry.

"My thanks, friends," Debyhn says. "That plant nearly charted my course to Pharasma's Palace. And though I hope to be worthy of her one day, I had no immediate plans to visit."
He takes his axe back from Lysander with a nod of gratitude.
He offers the half-elf his cold iron sickle. "You may keep this, if you are in need of a hand weapon."

I'm sorry friends, I should have been in that fight with you. The dive was simply too far for someone of my limited skillls. I fear I would have broken my neck. Erik looks unconvinced by his own excuses and bows his head ashamed.

Bleyz whispers, hoping the sound doesn't carry beyond the door if there's anything on the other side to hear him, "No worries, Erik, it was a long drop with no one to hold the rope for you. I'm just glad we found a solution for you to get down safely in the end. I hope we can find another way out though."

After using a scroll on Erik, Achren examines his Eidolon form; a great rent shows where the Plant struck him and a few other scratches from previous encounters testify to the beating iy has recieved. Summoning his innate magic, he casts Lesser Rejuvenate Eidolon
Scratched one Scroll and 1 spell, adjusting hp
Eidolon HP regained:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Immediately, the Eidolon repairs much of the damage.

"Can anyone unlock an arcane locked door? If not, I can try Sazed's key... and if that doesn't work, perhaps I can bust through it with the fist, but it might take a bit and it would be quite noisy... anything or anyone on the other side will be ready and waiting for us if we go that route." Bleyz shrugs and waits for anyone else to volunteer with maybe a knock spell or some other way to open the door before taking other action
With a click the key unlocks the door and you open them. As you start to open the door (that open outwards toward you) they slam open as if pushed by strong wind and green gas pour out of the room beyond in vast quantities. The room beyond was totally filled with it.
Anyone near the door probably all of you needs to make a fort save.
As the gas pours out however it clears up the room beyond.
Beyond is a bell-shaped foyer that opens into a broad rectangular chamber with wickedly spiked walls. The rectangular section recesses into the floor almost five feet below the foyer, creating a tiered section of ledges adorned with rows of statues. In the center of the room, a three foot-tall iron furnace stands atop a marble dais belching out gouts of toxic green smoke. A moat filled with a curious bubbling liquid surrounds the smoky brazier.
On the floor scattered around the room are broken clockwork soldiers.
Doors going to the west are closed and another set of doors going south have been broken down and the hallway going that way is filled with gas.
Dc 16 fort save, lose 1 con and 1 cha if you fail. You make another save each round for up to six rounds. Each time you fail you take the damage again.

"We need to smother that brazier. Can one of you make the leap to the pedestal and drown or smother it?" he asks the group.
He unslings his backpack and removes his bedroll. "If we soak this in the water, we could lay it over the brazier and extinguish it.... unless it is magical...but even then, it.may be enough to stifle the smoke."

Bleyz douses his sash with water and ties it around his face, hoping that might block some of the fumes... (hoping for a circumstance bonus to saves perhaps?)
Bleyz steps cautiously into the foyer, wary of traps, like pressure plates on the floor... "This looks like the entire place is one big trap, does it not?"
I considered giving a spell failure chance to both but decided against it since nothing else gives spell failure to divine.
The sword is an item of my own creation I wanted to make a magic eating sword without making it to broken. Its abilities are the following at the moment.
-spells cast on the user don't last very long (half duration)
-ignores half of magical bonuses to ac (mage armor gives +2 instead of +4)
but only for attacks made using that sword.
-when you strike someone with an active spell on them it has a chance to dispel a spell on them if there is one. (makes a dispel check at +5)
-arcane spell failure 20% (I might just drop this one)
other than that it's a +1 longsword that also has +1 damage against undead.
Your opponent is a creature called a rot mummy. A variant of the typical mummy. He wields a sword instead of slamming you so you don't get mummy rot but he also wears magical armor about evens out I think.
Staves hold a maximum of 10 charges. Each spell cast from a staff consumes one or more charges. When a staff runs out of charges, it cannot be used until it is recharged. Each morning, when a spellcaster prepares spells or regains spell slots, he can also imbue one staff with a portion of his power so long as one or more of the spells cast by the staff is on his spell list and he is capable of casting at least one of the spells.
Imbuing a staff with this power restores one charge to the staff, but the caster must forgo one prepared spell or spell slot of a level equal to the highest-level spell cast by the staff. For example, a 9th-level wizard with a staff of fire could imbue the staff with one charge per day by using up one of his 4th-level spells. A staff cannot gain more than one charge per day and a caster cannot imbue more than one staff per day.

Breakdown of items and usefulness:
Ring and cloak: everyone could use either one, however, these are also some of the few items Achren and Bleyz could use without interfering with their character functionality.
Longsword: Lysander needs a melee weapon or Erik
could do the two longsword ranger-thingy
Chainmail: Lysander or Devyhn. Erik already has +1 breastplate (unless he wants to trade-out for encumberance reasons)
I already have AC21 with Mage Armour, so the ring could go to someone else. Having been hurt a few times after bad saves, I would like the Cloak, but I'm aware that everybody would probably want it.

I'm still here, just don't have much to report. Better armor would be nice, but I can't use medium armor, so there really isn't anything for me to take that wouldn't better serve someone else.

Having oral surgery tomorrow so might be a bit out of things... we'll see if I can post or not on whatever pain meds they give me, lol... I should be fine by saturday though.
OK, no potion of healing unfortunately, but this is the list:
-potion of Invisibility
-potion of eagle's splendor
-potion of fly
-wand of shield (44 charges)
-amulet of natural armor +1
-cloak of resistance +2
-headband of alluring charisma +2
-ring of protection +1
Am I right in thinking I am the only one who can use the wand? if that's so, and as I had the last Cloak of Resistance, I'm not due any of the rest (although I could use the +2 CHA if noone else wants it)

No objections to either of those if that's what you want, I can't use the wand and the headband, while it would make Bleyz more likable, isn't high on his 'want' list. Bleyz would be interested in the amulet, but there are others who get hit more often and for more damage, who probably need it more... so whatever, I'm easy with others picking first.

and Bleyz is interested in the amulet or the cloak, but I think he's got relatively good AC and good saves, so will gladly let others pick those items first.

OK, even after resting I will be down 7hp. Any chance someone can toss me a CLW? I know others are more seriously hurt, so if there aren't enough I'll forego.

If I only healed my level in hit points, then I am still at -2 and unable to do anything until I rest another day.
Could I activate the staff if I am conscious, but disabled? At that point, I could try to patch up the party with the last couple of charges in the wand, and my own healing spells.
