Just a heads up that I leave for an 11 day trip out of the country on the 19th. I'll have an ipad and can post some but will not be reliable.

Sounds like fun! Make sure to have botting instructions on your profile in case you have connection issues.

Really hard to give botting instructions for a high level wizard.

IF something bad is about to happen to him he will Emergency Force Dome as an immediate to interrupt it. While the dome blocks line of effect he could still buff while in the dome - consider one of his body spells. And he can summon elementals that can move through the floor. And he can dimensionally step out as a swift. And back in again as a swift. Once the dome is up is friendly terrain for him.

He likes to dim door the party around so if it makes sense he could jump a group into melee with the rear giant to the left. Not sure its worth it to splip the party though.

And please defer to Sharton for which spells to cast when. Ezren has two more uses of his Quicken rod and a decent handfull of other rods he can use, like Piercing for SR. He could try a dazing glitterdust on two or more giants too.

Hey question especially to the other melee folks and to Griff.

I can either keep hitting stuff but I'm going to possibly need some continued healing support or I can take around cast divine vessel or righteous might get some DR and make myself a bit better at everything. That is if the Shump and Jebediah don't mind me being out for a round.

Looking for group input. Thanks all.

This seems to be almost all full instance pull we have on our hands. I recommend taking the long view and buff.

That's want I was thinking.

Do we have a plan to deal with the caster. Grognar can get over there next turn if I set up for it or would it be better for leave it for the wet dino man with pounce?

The Gameday organizers has requested people fill out a 'mid-point' survey for the event. If you feel like giving some input, feel free to do so here.

General question that I hope is ok to ask as it sorta represents Ezren's super Int... Is it worth a Dispel Magic to get rid of the mirror image spell? And is it possible for one dispel to get both?

Also Ezren has a Communal Stoneskin that I wanted to try to get off next. Thoughts?

Did we get True Seeing from Aram Zey? That would make the mirror images not matter.

The true sight was consumed as part of the transportation ritual, and is no longer active.

My wife and I are going camping this weekend and I won't have access to wifi please bot me as needed!

Any thoughts for dealing with the hungerers? Bring nar does not have a lot of wisdom he will go down in one round if I had to guess.

When we are ready to go left I can cast a Dazing Stone Call and have a chance of dazing everything in the room. Very large area. Its a will save 25 to avoid beind dazed.

If Grognar can get into position I can misfortune one of them.

I think we need to hit the Hungerers hard and fast we should get everyone together and rush them after the daze attempt.

Does anyone have a better plan?

Those images will slow us down some...

Grognar has true seeing which he can also give to Shrump. And echolocation went up on the Dino. So I think we can be alright.

Earth elemental should be ok as well. Daze, blind or slow to minimized Wis damage would be a solid choice.

If Grognar goes in second line he can cast illomen on one a misfortune the other.

Was thinking of leaving the elemental at the right corner to act as a guard/speed bump.

Sounds good. I assume Shrump getting true seeing in better than an I'll omen. I can do both this turn.

Thanks for the true seeing.

Sorry, was traveling and at a wedding this weekend.

Let's assume that the lamia matriarchs and hungerers are buffing and readying for combat. We either have to move quickly in order to disrupt their preparations, or we simply leave this area and go after the wizard while the buffs on the other group go wasted. This is a round tower, at least from the outside, we may even end up circling around on them from the rear.

Or we kill the one injured storm giant, open the doors, and charge in. In the meantime they may have even more allies showing up that we don't know about.

I don't like the idea of the wizard coming back at us from behind.

There is true seeing and echolocation up. Did anyone actually figure out how the enemy got away? Because if they teleported I doubt anyone has the feats to track them.

Do not forget that the rune giant will be back in about 14 rounds, sooner if it can roll well enough. That one giant is a level appropriate threat for us. lol. Sounds like we want to go east.

By the way Ezren can sometimes prevent teleportation If he is close enough.

I'm fine with east. I will recon my move if the GM will let me.

I guess its possible that the giant is still on our side of the doors. But I think we would have seen him if so. I mean you can see 5' into the clouds and its only 20' high.

Said GM is OK with the thing.

You have not seen the doors open at all since it moved into the fog and have heard it coughing while inside that area for the past 2 turns; it might appear safe to assume that it is probably still on your side of the door.

So, we're moving east? I'm all for that. Who's up?

OK East it is. (Haven't been involved in convo much, but that's kinda in-character for Griff anyway... I'm just the healer, and my character is heavily a follower ;) )

might be nice to take out that lone giant first if its in the stinking cloud.

We should be able to do that quickly, but with our luck then the rune giant will reappear, and then the doors will open again and who knows how many creatures will be over there now. This character obviously isn't a melee guy so I'll follow where they go.

If that happened exactly as you outline Sharton, we would be better off than if we had gone right and had all that catch up with us from behind.

I will unrecon and go in to finish it off. Is that the final call.

East is fine with me.

Let's go into the cloud and finish off this storm giant then!

Also let’s not forget to loot - there might be loot worth getting.

I call dibs on the gargantuan sized swords and armor! As soon as I start working out...

There was the female fighter in seemingly good armor with a seemingly good weapon. And I think we could use more signet rings/items for things we summon or allies we find.

Can that all be lifted out of an acid pit?

Unsure. Is that where she went?

That pit has not worked out as well as I had hoped. lol

Don't worry I have done some truly awful things with pits and clouds. That pit was nothing compared to the errors I have made.

Unsure. Is that where she went?

Time for a flashback!

Grognar strikes the woman twice, the first piercing her armor to deal a critical blow; the second strike cleanly cleaving her head from her neck. Her body topples lifelessly to the ground and rolls down the sloped edge of the pit to tumble slowly like a feather into the acid below.

Catch-Up Acid Pit Damage to Corpse: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2, 5, 6, 6) = 35

When that pit spell ends, what's left at the bottom of it won't be a pretty sight, that's for sure! On the bright side, all of her gear that isn't caustically dissolved will be exceptionally cleaned off by the acid!

Our plan is now East again?

Ya, I think the final decision was to kill the giant, so it can't get us from behind, then go east.

BTW, posting will slow for me. Have a career advancement test tomorrow (in about 19 hours). About to head out to the city I need to go to take it, and will be studying, and will be taking the test all day tomorrow. Feel free to bot me if needed.

Good luck, or break a leg, or whatever you say on such an occasion.

Is Jeb going to run back and deal with the hungerers or stay where he is? Does he have echolocation anymore? I assume that is the reason for casting displacement.

Grognar can take the Giants or he can go fight the hungerers but without miss chance he is likly in a coma after a round unfortunately there is no divine miss chance spell I know of.

Also I hope the test went well.

Glad Shump did not take too much wisdom damage. We did not plan our movment well so Grognar can't full attack next turn do you think Shump can take him out? I have some ways I can help.

FYI, I will be traveling to the state of Virginia for 2 weeks for work. I am traveling very soon and probably won't be able to post for 24 hours from the time of this post. Will definitely still be able to post but my availability will be less so feel free to bot if needed.

(I will be visiting Washington DC on the weekend inbetween btw)

I was just up there. Enjoy.
