I don't think they need a holy symbol to channel though, and it wouldn't take many 3d6's to wipe us.
So kill him then. Got it. Can do.
Actually, he does. Any cleric needs to present his holy symbol to channel energy. It's the last sentence in the Channel Energy section. Spells are trickier. He can't cast any spells that require a divine focus (DF under components) if he doesn't have a holy symbol. Somatic components are a little trickier since armor is supposed to interfere with those, but honestly, I wouldn't allow anyone who's bound to cast any spells that required you to move.
Of course, rather than debate this, we could just ask the GM. So that said...
GM, if we manage to capture these guys, will we be able to keep them from casting spells and channeling energy if we take their gear and tie them up?
I ask because, to be honest, I as a player, and Arianna once she has a chance to think, want to get whatever we can out of these guys.
So... We still need Lorien's (and Gren's, but Lorien technically goes first) actions for the round. We haven't heard from Helikon in a while now.
As for keeping prisoners - it comes with a few problems. Even if you bind their hands and feet, they can still cast spells that have only verbal components (those are rare), unless you gag them. Sure enough, clerics and oracles need holy symbols to channel energy. But that doesn't keep them from using domain powers, for example.
There's also the question of how you'd get them to tell you anything - especially in light of you probably wanting or having to kill them afterwards.
Well, losing at least one player soon after starting is basically inevitable with PbP games. ...I still don't know why.
Eek, I don't want to try and do this without a cleric though. Healing we can get from other sources but Clerics have some of the best group & self-buffs in the game. Hopefully Lorien is just having a busy couple of days and will get back to us shortly!
I'll bot Lorien along with Zatinya later tonight. If we turn out to need a new cleric we can always post rerecruitment, but for now, it's only been two days or so.
There we go. You can take the next turn now, it'll be round 4 for you, I believe.
Owie. That hurt.
I've changed my mind, let's just kill the bastard.
I am still here no worries. I somehow missed that it was my turn, for that apologies.
Is the leader down?
We can only hope. If he channels again people are going to die.
He's got an X on him on the map so I'm wondering before I take my turn what's up. Zatinya also has a turn before him so Hopefully that's all she wrote.

He's quite dead.
Lorien - Go ahead and add the enchanted heavy mace to your inventory. We can figure it out later if we come across some skeletons.

You should probably also deck Arianna out in the chainmail and with the magic sword. She's the only one among you set up to use that stuff.
On the hex crawling map, what is the gray shape around #5? A lake? A tree?
Those are woods.
...also we seem to have misplaced our pack animals :)
Nah, they're trailing after you, no worries. I won't track them before we actually hit the dungeon.
That said, please write anything you loot from the foes down on your sheet.
Will do
Here's an illustration of the entrance.
Also updated your hexcrawling map.
Aaand the whole party is up at the same time. Nice and simple to keep track of. Not that I expect this encounter to run for very long.
Woo! And even better, I'm actually hitting stuff now! :D
Party is up again! I think we spent 3 rounds of Inspire Courage in the last combat, so Idk how many are left.
I don't think it's gonna matter much between Rhiannon and Arianna.
I need to read a little better. Somehow I didn't notice that Rhiannon already threw up that wall. Sorry everybody!
It's fine. XD Better to give a reminder that isn't needed than to avoid a reminder that is.
Saw a note in Lorien/Helikon's other posts that he's been hospitalized. Hope all turns out well!
:o Nothing serious I hope, and I wish him a speedy recovery!
Same here. That's no fun. :(

Aww, that sucks.
Should I bot Lorien in the meantime, do you think?
That's probably for the best. They may need to be let go, but I think they should be given at least a week or two before any permanent decisions are made, and that's probably longer than we want the game to be paused.
Agree with Rhiannon. Botting for a time, give them a chance to come back to us.
Sorry very sorry,for the time being it is not easy for me to be up to date.
Please don't worry about us! Take care of your health and use this as a stress reliever, not a stress creator!
Sorry very sorry,for the time being it is not easy for me to be up to date.
It's absolutely fine. If you need to take some time away from this, if it's stressing, then that's perfectly all right.
If you can use it to keep from being bored at the hospital, then that's fine too.
Yup. o wo/ Your health is the most important thing.
Yeah, don't worry about us. Worry about you! We're not the ones in a hospital.
Get well soon, though. We'll keep Lorien out of trouble until then.
Just need Arianna's actions now.
That battle aspergillum definitely can't be stored in a backpack with holy water inside. Carrying it around keeping careful to keep it upright is one thing, but inside a backpack you'd have holy water everywhere in no time flat.
Whoops, sorry. I hadn't realized that I hadn't gone yet.
I'd like to see if #2 gets killed before I act, since I'm trying to avoid drawing AoO's. XD
It's still up. I personally doubt if Lorien and Zatinya will kill it before your turn.
Hey y'all, on Monday I will be doing some traveling with my wife around Europe, so my availability will be pretty limited until July 12 after we get back to the states. Kesh is an uncomplicated creature mechanically, though, so please feel free to bot me if I'm unable to post.
