Green hair!

That is a blast from the past. I remember when I dated someone who died their hair green.

Sounds like Betty Slocombe from the old BBC comedy, Are You Being Served?.

I grew up on that and Monty Python as a kid.
Kind of dates me back to the stone age (i.e. pre Internet years). :D

Yes, that was back in the 80s.

yeah I grew up in those pre-Internet days as well, a lot of changes since then isn't there.

Any ideas, gang? Marigold has two 1st level spells left; she could try to Color Spray and see if she hits something but it would be a bit of a crapshoot.

Colour spray may be a good bet here. Either that or we retreat and shut the doors.


Iron Gods: Iron maps;

You are supposed to have a scroll of see invisibility and a potion as well. I was kind of waiting for someone to come up with that, but I see now them missing in both treasure sheets, so perhaps you sold them?


M HP 101/101 | AC 23, touch 11, flat-footed 22 | Fort +13, Ref +7, Will +15 | Init +1, Perception +7, Stealth -2 | speed 30' | Channel Positive Energy 7/7 (6d6 ) | Inspiring Word 8/8 (+2 / 6 round) | Agile Feet 8/8 |Cleric Spells (0 -4/4, 1st -7/7, 2nd-6/6, 3rd-6/6, 4th-5/5, 5th-5/5, 6th-3/3)

Well that could be problematic, GM when were those supposed to have been found, in this dungeon crawl? we made a trip back but not to sell anything yet that I'm aware.

I did a quick search. The potion and scroll were back in September in the Vampire area. The scroll was from the tiefling, and the potion from the adept, and probably brewed in the magic cauldron.

Did we write the scroll into a spellbook?

Glitterdust is a standard go-to for dealing with invisible creatures, anyone got that? It sounds nice and colourful, but might not be an oracle spell.

Speaking of which Skaven's spell book had a see invisible spell in it.

Sadly, Glitterdust is an arcane spell so MG can't help with that :(

Maxim never copied it... not sure why not as a Divination is not a prohibited school for me... ah well.

Potion of See Invisible was never claimed on the old loot sheet, but doesn't appear on the new sheet. It should still be nestling in someone's Bag of Holding or Handy Haversack...

That seem a decent compromise GM-R? Scroll is sold, but potion is available?


Iron Gods: Iron maps;

That's ok for me Maxim.

The critter has moved though, you will have to look for it.
Where are you heading to now?

Okay, best as I can figure it sounds like we're going to let someone drink the potion (probably JJ?) and try to look around the immediate vicinity for our elusive friend. I'm guessing if we can't find him then we're just going to have to suck it up and hope that he doesn't have any of the wands we need and that he won't wander up into Cauldron proper.

After that, we've still got that other door we've not explored beyond yet.


Male Human Sorcerer (inactive)

@ Marigold:
is that the door at the west end of room K31 you're talking about?
After that invisible titch is taken care of, of course.

K13 because I couldn't find K31 on the map...maybe we've not gotten to that room yet? :)

Sorry! I meant to say K13.

I was stunned for lack of Espresso (with a spot of lemon juice; yum, yum!)

Is it just me, or anyone else having trouble with their campaigns page showing the number of new posts in their active campaigns?

Seems boards wide. Believe from some of the threads relating to it that a fix is in the mix, but no idea how long it'll take...

Darn frustrating n'er-the-less :S

I think I will wait for Ryan to be back for that AoO that might drop the Kopru. I don't want to take the honor from him :)

I think you fully cleared the Kopru ruins. Thus, it seems time to go back to Cauldron and prceed to complete the chapter end.

Sorry for the delay all, has been an extremely busy weekend, if you enjoy volleyball, please enjoy the shots from this past weekend on FB @ Myrtle Madness Volleyball 2017

Apologies again for holding anything up


Iron Gods: Iron maps;

Ok people, after this scene with Jenya, and optionally helping to manage the flood, you might have forgotten but you have an invitation for a disguise party :)


Male Human Sorcerer (inactive)

Did we do the (official) divvying up of the loot for cash?

I'm in Vancouver at my Mum's place and have been distracted a bit.

That and the fact HL isn't quite working in a new OS install on my laptop.
It won't connect to the Internet for downloads and such, which is annoying.

nope, I stayed home. Whole country was on a warning, with the storm coming right on the tail of an earlier one. A big river burst its banks dropping one of our towns underwater - though everyone got out in time luckily.

Drove big trucks once upon a time, best time in and out of Chicago was between 2 and 4am, too many "four-wheelers" otherwise :)

Glad everyone was safe this past weekend, was on call for work myself, so stayed home while the kids and missus were off to the beach on spring break.

My week was more calmer than JJ's fortunately (those cyclones seem scary!). Sunset walks at my mother's town whithout wireless phone connection and plenty of playing with my nephews :)

Eastern Monday was special, first time I prepare the eastern cake for my godson!

I am back to Barcelona and things shall start to move faster again.

Folks - just a wee heads up that I’ll be out of town this weekend. Helping out as pit-crew for a mate of mine whose racing bikes, heading off shortly and we’ll not be back until late Sunday. Will most likely be Monday morning before I’ll get back into the posting swing.
