Ditto - enjoying the game but its bed time here...
Evil GM
I'm going to wait before proceeding, this will provide time for others to roll their perception and make adjustments to the map.

Guys, consider me unavailable all day today. I'll try to check in, but I can't make any promises. My wife think's she might be delivering our baby today!
Baldwin do what you like with Balthazar. When outnumbered he'll try to use web, using the flaming bow to turn through squares if the party needs to pass through. He'll always use evil eye on an appropriate target, selecting either -2 to Saves or -2 to AC, etc, and will cackle as a move round to keep it active.
Against a big baddie, he'll evil eye saves, and then use misfortune hex, keeping both active with cackle.
Full spells are available.

Congrats!
I will be off to work soon but will try to lookin. Icabhod will use his axe or whatever appropriate weapon against any foes that pop up. If seriously
wounded, he will defensivly cast a cure spell.

Congratz from me as well. This will be the second PBP birth for one of my games. DM Ego and his girlfriend had a little girl in the Spring. :)
Congrats B! Enjoy an awesome day today!,

Running a home game tonight. Mod called the Harrowing. Anyone played it?
I should be offline from about 7:00 to 11:00 Eastern time tonight.
Evil GM
since we are missing two people tonight, I'm not going to start the next phase right now.

It's a girl! Wife rolled a natural 20 on the gender check!
Thanks for all the congrats. Haven't read the gameplay thread yet but hope things went really well and my absence wasn't too much bother.
Now, anyone have a shotgun and a shovel to lend?

Congrats once again. Sorry, no shotgun here. Got a few shovels though if you need one.
Lol, congrats again. Get some sleep....I'm sure that's gonna be hard to come by very soon!

I will try to check tomorrow. Going to a game, so will be away from the net until early evening most likely.
M COW
I am thinking we should just fireball the ground and suck up the damage at this point.
F Gnome (Lava) Cleric 6 (HP 48/48, Current AC 26/26/15, F +8, R +4, W +9 Init. +1, Perc. +9)
Go for it. Shine has cast her one fireball. But energy attacks are the way to go for sure.
M COW
Hmm.. Well Icabhod can cast CSW into the undead and you can channel again so that might help finish if off if our wizards use things like magic missile.

Can a magic missle effect a swarm is the question? And can I see far enough to cast a magic missle while in the effect of an Ash Storm spell?
M COW
I believe pretty much any damage can harm a swarm.

Doesn't the following quote say something different about Magic Missles?
A creature swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single target spells such as disintegrate), with the exception of mind-affecting effects if the swarm has an Intelligence score and a hive mind.

Magic missile should not affect a swarm. My understanding is that any spell which targets a single creature or target has no affect on a swarm. On the other hand area spells affect them. Thus, burning hands, fireball, lightning bolt and so forth work well. Magic missile, scorching ray, and any other ray type attack should not work.

That was my understanding too, Norjan.

Not sure about Magic Missile specifically, but a rat swarm is composed of tiny creaturs, which I think we face (shadowy, but still rats) and swarms of tiny or larger creatures can be targeted with weapons - they do half damage. Now because these are incorporeal you need a +1 weapon to harm them. If you have no better option you can missile them. You could also missile the caster in the window if we can get clear of this ash storm. :)
I fear that with weapons we are doing half for incorporeal and half again for swarm traits.
My next actions will likely be to use the wand to cast Lesser Restoration on myself and then move out of the swarm.
M COW
Hmm.. Well looks like Icabhod will keep slapping channels on the swarm.
Evil GM
The party knows from various rolls that this is an undead incorporeal swarm from the shadow plane.
Shine had the best knowledge based rolls that were made. So she actually knows the most about these creatures based on her in character rolls.
Evil GM
M COW
Looks like we should pick Shine up and run for it. Ash+swarm is something we should avoid.

A tactical retreat is probably a good call here. We have been soundly thumped.
F Gnome (Lava) Cleric 6 (HP 48/48, Current AC 26/26/15, F +8, R +4, W +9 Init. +1, Perc. +9)
Well ice storms and ash storms do no damage, but it that swarm damages my strength two more times I may be joining it in the shadow realm. Which is why I plan to use that wand of Lesser Restoration on myself next round. I could use it and then hand it to Icabhod to use it on me again, depending on what happens. Sure would be nice to kill it dead before we go recover and lick out wounds.

Just want to warn everyone that I will be out pretty much the whole work day tomorrow. I have court that will go from probably 9 am until five or so, so I'll get a post in early, then after work sometime. DMPC me as necessary...
M COW
Best to tap yourself with the wand Shine.
Evil GM
I know Belloch must be busy with the new baby but has anyone heard from him? If he doesn't log in by the end of the day, I will drop him a PM.
Evil GM
The last week has been busy at work but thing lighten up soon, I would like to push up the pace.

Me too, DM. This week has been awful work wise, but hopefully next week will be a bit better.

Evil GM
I'm wiped out, I need to sleep it has been a long week. I have light day tomorrow, so will try to pick the pace up a bit.
