short review of game terms:
Taint: darkness of spirit that taints the soul that originates from contact from strong evil or creatures of the Outer Planes. Will go away in time with normal activities; continued taint leads to evil points in an alignments that over long periods could cause an alignment shift. Anyone or anything that can see an aura; can see taint. The party, for example, already has taint from other activities it is or has done; I only point out taint in the longterm as story or when it comes shockingly fast; such as just now for these two characters.

Remember, you have 100 points in each of the alignments you chose at character creation; thus if you were LG; then 100 Lawful points; 100 Good points; so; gaining 5 points is fairly minor. Go hug that manisfestation of a tentacle of an Old One and that would be a Major change; about 500 Chaos Points, but then, hehe some real long term power.

ok; where is my dice; gotta see if Cera appears; darn that Champion of Chaos and that darn sword; gotta give her the chance to continue to escape her....penance situation and this would be one of them times. Sheesh she already has ratmen all over the place. Man this is a snafu

With Astinos growing to 18ft tall. I am guessing I am either being pushed out of the way, or getting smashed into the door. Wisdom Check is d20=17 Wisdom is 14.

Spoiler:
I am filled with thoughts of concern. The Jewell's continued safety where we are; and hearing the howls of Iunius, and Decidio as they howl with pain and pleasure. My frustration grows wondering if my voluntary blindness is the reason why I can't open the door, and the continued suffering of the sisters. So if the party doesn't act soon. Llv will open his eyes and do whatever he can to get the door open. Giving Jewell a warning first so she can break any link she has so preserve her psyche.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

Ok; am waiting on the other pc responses, but just in case; you may wish to roll a Reflex as it is very likely that Astinos will burst through the door for needed space, as will everyone in front of him.

As Astinos suddenly grows in height, Fox is dragged up by her handhold on his gear. Surprised, she holds on tighter for a moment thinking she's being drawn away. As her feet start to leave the ground, she realizes the facts of the situation and lets go, keeping her hand against the paladin's leg.

Mindlink "Astinos! What happened? Why have we stopped? I'm not able to hold your belt anymore, so I will be hard-pressed to keep track of you in the dark."

Mindlink "Durr - can you guide me as Astinos is guiding the party? We need to stay close the paladin. I will follow you."

With that, Fox pulls her cohort forward, essentially trading places with him so he can lead her.

Valegrim wrote:

OK, so Astinos won't be standing up straight, more like bent over at the waist, crouching down, or crawling. Unless he's crawling, his new height and motion of walking will still make it difficult for Fox to maintain contact with his belt. Is Durr capable of leading her?


Kemnebi is suddenly overwhelmed by the mental sounds of teh ladies screaming in a mixture of pain and pleasure, and his skin is flushed with the nearby over-activation of magic.

Self-declaring a WIll roll to keep his blooming eyes closed! Vale, what's a fair DC do you think?

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

I think he made it! ;)

The mental shouting of Fox is almost more than he can bear, but instead of causing him to lose concentration, it instead focuses him. His mind becomes a clear, cold spot of calm.

'Fox! keep your eyes closed! Astinos, Caerwyn, what happened? I can almost taste the power you've unleashed! Everyone, be CAREFUL what magics you use right now! We're too close to a Live Elder Circle of Power! Is everyone alright? Does everyone have a hold of their neighbor?'


M Human (Greek) Paladin of Athena 5 7/ Knight of Athens 4 6

Astinos drives a fist through the door, his expansion coming as a suprise to himself as well. He shudders briefly as a wave of chaos washes over him then guides the others through the newly made opening.

The sound coming from Decidio quickens the pace of his breathing, but he focuses, a small part of his mind touching hers as the group advances.

Depends how much you care for them really; I would offhand say 16; 13 if you dont care much but are curious; 19 if your care a lot or are really curious; 22 if your obsessed and its all you think about as any fleeting chance of...ahem, touchy things... in my games is about to go up in smoke; lol could be higher depending on you; after all, the twins are probably standing there naked doing the most sexual, entrancing, exotic, and magical things not even known to man; after all; takes a lot to enthrall a snake; but you know; snakes, girls and apples, or was that a pomagranite... moths; flame; poof; your the proverbial cat but there is a whole lot more game to go before you paint a V on your head.

Through the very large double door; is a very old; solid hall; 60' high and 40' wide; big enough for a dragon actually. The hall is very solid; dwarven craftmenship; with vaulted stone ceiling with support columns and buttress every 40'. The hall winds down and at a 20 degree sloop on about a 120 degree arc and might winde down to the pits of the netherworld itself.

There is an erie ethreal wind gusting here; phantoms can be glimped out of the corner of the eyes of those who can see.

The floor is polished; highly polished; the warriors think blood on it might make it very slippery footing indeed.

The tiles and wall stones are bronze in color; the motar brick red. The columns are guilded and fluted.

on either side of the door stand unmoving snakemen; probably guards; heavily armored; tuff looking; you have no idea if there asleep; dead or why they dont move.

Ouch; will do outcome after other roll and movements announced.

So this is an armor bonus? If so then it will only improve my AC by 4 as I already had an armor bonus of 4 and they wouldn't stack (well, I'd get an extra 4 AC from the DEX boost). If it acts like barkskin normally does then it would be an enhancement to natural armor and give me the full +8 as it would stack with my natural armor (and another 4 from the DEX).

yes; affects your natural armor bonus; thus it stacks. so your natural armor of 10 increases; then add armor ;then add any other bonus from other sources.

getting everyone crused is not exactly my storyline here; this is a very minor incident; so you can add your bonus; this is taking place pretty much the same time; will write it out story wise when I get all the actions from each person.

Will try to protect, and cover The Jewell as best as I can from falling debris, and get us out of the way of the rapidly growing Astinos.

ok; the party spills forth more or less into the great hall beyond the door as Astinos grows very large in size; the two snakes are still as yet unmoving.

With a great CRACK! the ground behind you down the twisted hall gives way as something enormous breaks through the ground; you hear wet thumps of bodies being broken down that torturous tunnel as the very essence of reality is warped and the sheer joy of malice and hatred; luckily the party is sheiled by Astinos's aura. The ground trembles an dust and dirt is thrown about the tunnels and spews forth into the Hall.

Even with his eyes closed, Kemnebi can see, almost taste the power glowing behind him, both Astinos' own shining aura, and the glimmering, oily blackness of what's behind the paladin. The feline mage licks his lips hungrily, then hisses like a cornered cat, scrambles back to his feet, and follows the sound of the others movements,...

ok; this hall is very wide and curved; you run about 120 ft and consider that far enough for opening your eyes and taking a look.

ok; starting a new section of the story; exps for last section; 5000 each. Individual playing exps at the end of the story; this is for surviving the crypsts and snake lair.


Valegrim:

Spoiler:
I do not recall what we are using for xp progression. Fox is now at 19500 xp. How many does she need to move to sixth level? If she's high enough, what's the progress for leveling up? I assume there's a limit to how much she can gain in the midst of a mission, of course.

Thanks!


Vale, Kemnebi has made enough to go to lvl 8, when/how does he lvl up? (I've forgotten) As we are in the middle of a mission?


Female Catfolk Cleric 7 catfolk 1

So uh nothing came about from that botched reflex save (been holding back from posting waiting for that to resolve)


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

at level 8 you dont get any new levels of spells right; just more of the same levels you can already cast; so you just add your new hps to your max and get the additional spells; when you increase to a new spell level; like casting level 5 spells; then you have to train or be trained; this will happen until 12th level. The gain in spells you get by increasing level are spells that you have been training by studying each night; so youi get those; you can gain any skill that you have worked on or that another character would be teaching you; gaining a new language or skill that you cannot work on in the party will also take training.

I think I have answered my own question thanks to the others' questions. And per Dom's character sheet, the goal for sixth level is apparently 15000, so she's there. I will work on leveling her up with her first level of Ultimate Magus using the guidelines provided to Kemnebi.

OK, first level of Ultimage Magus grants spells in the lower of the two arcane base classes, so Fox will gain spells like those of a Warmage 3 (no new spell levels, but another 1st-level spell per day). The PrC grants a bonus caster level to all arcane spells, so she is effectively CL4 for Wizard and Warmage spells.

From there, it should be pretty straightforward. Sad thing is, I just realized that she's had enough xp for sixth level for months, real-time. I just didn't realize it. She may reach seventh with the next allocation of xps. Crazy.

One question remains: How do we roll hit points?
