Oh I'm taking both heals. I need full hit points for the next horribly miscalculated disaster I unleash on everyone!
That seems fair.
Consensus time:
Do we want to leave the top hatch open and just head straight for the island across the surface of the lake, or do we actually want to travel under the water?
We might run out of fuel, and being stuck under the water would be pretty bad (though we have air bubble). It would also be easier just to steam straight ahead and worst case scenario crash directly into the island. At least we'd be there!
BUT I wonder if there's an underwater dock on the island for the submersible? If we could dock underground it would go a long way in avoiding the killer worms that are supposedly on the island.
How about we sail on the surface until we're close, then explore if we still have fuel? We could lose underwater treasure on the way, but it'd be safer.
I agree! That sounds like a good compromise.
The player says underwater cause that sounds cool but Nalnear likes Snorri's compromise.
Torvi is happier on the surface.
I think my live table just fell apart. I may need a few days to get rid of the lingering anger, bitterness, and sadness I feel.
I'm sorry to hear that Nalnera. Watching friends disperse is never easy, but your online friends here for you too.
Take your time and come back when you have your inspiration again.
Dasur's spell list for embarking:
0th:
Read Magic
Mending
Prestidigitation
Detect Magic
1st: (DC 16)
- Mage Armor
+ Enlarge Person
+ Burning Hands
+ Burning Hands
+ (Earth) Grease
2nd: (DC 17)
+ Scorching Ray
+ Stone Call
+ (Earth) Create Pit
I'm anticipating worms and vermin will be our primary enemies, so Dasur will forgo preparing mind-effecting spells.
Thank you dear. Certain people are no longer at our table but most of the group is still together. I might be able to play catch up after work but I should be getting to work. Friday is my moving day so I wont be posting then.
On a mini break but you all seem to have been rather busy so I will catch up tomorrow. Thank you for being so understanding.
Sorry for my absence. For those who don't know, I am a teacher, and my wife is also a teacher, and we live in Kentucky. It has been a crazy few days for us, and this is the first time I've sat down at a computer since last Wednesday.
No problem GM. This is an important moment for the US education system, so please take all the time you need. I for one am glad teachers are effectively organizing. I'm part of the AFGE (American Federation of Government Employees) Union though, so I'm biased.
If I recall Kentucky congress did pass a pension plan of some sort, are you happy with it?
I am all for teachers getting what they should have. The lack of money in education a horrible thing. Education should be one of the first things we make sure is funded. Education is life.
Also sorry for the delay in my return. Seems I missed some fun stuff. I should be back to normal post while the unpacking happens. If for some reason I don't post assume I was lost in the boxes and will return as soon as possible.
They passed changes to the pension plan on Thursday. They changed medical coverage for retirees, but worst they took new teachers (and current teachers who don't have tenure) out of the pension system. The pension for new hires is utter garbage. It will require them to continue to pay 13% of their pay into the new system while providing no guarantee of a payout. Considering how they have borrowed money from the pension fund for the past 20 years, one has to assume that that money won't be protected. It did nothing to fund the pension for current teachers or retirees, so it doesn't really solve the problem.
Wow. That sounds like absolute b!~@#!&@, I'm sorry.
US congress has targeted federal employee pension and benefits as well lately, and were going to gut them, especially for new employees. Thankfully the AFGE has negotiated well and nothing has happened.
Keep up the fight, and please take all the time you need to make the future better for yourself and your co-workers.

We non-unionized Feds appreciate it.
I'll be travelling from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday morning with a group of students. I'll post when I can, but Thursday and Friday are unlikely.
Stay safe! We eagerly await the reveal of the tunneling mystery.
Snorri, if these worms are half-fiends does that mean they're evil and therefore can be smote?
Managing students is far harder than managing players, so good luck!
And I definitely hope so, I haven't smitten anyone yet, save for my dashing good looks. I still can only smite one target a day, so let's hope it's a big one!
I just realized that adding up all the bonuses, if I didn't take Torvi's song the worm would only hit me with a 20. That armor is so obscenely strong!

But where’s the fun in that?
Just a quick FYI. I’m taking Cub Scouts camping this weekend, so don’t expect much from me until Sunday evening.

A Grease spell on Iverna could help her slide away.

Yup I'm on it! I love greasing people out of grapples.
In one of my games our really fat barbarian got stuck trying to squeeze through a hole in a wall... If it wasn't for Grease I think we would had to come back with pickaxes.
Side question for the GM: How tall are the ceilings and doors? Dasur has two Enlarge Persons prepared, but the person he uses it on may not be able to fit through gnomish doors...
Is Iverna visibly dead or could I assume there is a chance she might live? The answer will dictate my next move
Well, look at this! Appears we got her just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Wowwwww I am super impressed you guys managed to save Iverna. Great job, I really thought she was done for considering she was at -15 hit points.
Glad she was unconcious for having her guts ripped out and put back in.
This encounter ain’t over yet!

Big damn heroes Sir.
Also is the worm with Glenda still alive?
The worm attacking Glenda is still alive, though Glenda has escaped its grasp for the moment.
I'm assuming the box has a permenant Preserve on it?
Well if anyone gets killed we can take one of their eyeballs or whatever and put it in the box for future resurrection!
Looks like we'll have to continue on without our gnome friend!
I and the grumpy ghost as well cause alone is dangerous here. Gotta get to work so I will post later.

It's just a few floors, what danger can there possibly be?

:D I am sure everyone will be perfectly safe. Splitting the party is always a good idea.
Sorry guys, I've had a terrible summer cold. It seems like we have a classic Play-by-Post dungeon crawl paralysis. Really, you guys should just proceed to investigate what you want. Nothing else here is too dark and dangerous. Just some interesting items.
Feel better soon!
Not so much paralysis, just don't want to over reach in my posts when there could be worms bursting out of the walls and gutting people.
But if we have the clear there's nothing too dangerous left... onward!
If the founding year of the observatory isn't the correct combination, what else do you knows think it could be?
First-to-go-forth seems like a hint, which could either be (12?4) or an indication we should go back and look at his painting again. There could be other clues elsewhere.
If we are to be brainiacs, "go" is Japanese for five, but it seems a bit far-fetched.
Is there some adventuregnome we should know about?
Oh! Cagan! I should read the in game thread first!
I'd like to point out that 1000 possibilities at 6 seconds per attempt is just a couple of hours. Patience is a dwarvenly virtue, after all.
Sons of Dammerhall: Safe Crackers
Glenda the salty gnome, Iverna was waiting behind and Nalnear and Regnir had opted to stay behind with her so she wasn't along.
Just to clarify, Snorri is okay with the Contact Entity spells?
As long as it's not working with an evil entity, he'd be alright. Of course, he might be startled and demand an explanation, and likely attempt to persuade Dasur to seek other ways, but if it help us, it should be acceptable.
Got it, one Colour Out of Space coming right up!
