Witchwar legacy (Inactive)

Game Master Vuvu

Will be out of town and fairly non networked, so bot me as needed. Will be back on Sunday night.

There's just the slightest chance I should stop showing up in cities I don't know looking for places I've never been when it's night, my eyesight sucks and I haven't slept in 36 hours.

Might I ask how you are calculating the DCs for your knowledge checks. They seem high.

It's typically 10+CR, or 15+CR if it's "particularly rare".

Even if the ice linnorm is particularly rare, a 44 (which avoreal got) should get an effective CR 29.

If you take a very strict/unfavorable reading of the rules, given the CR 29 they need to beat it by 5 to get a second tidbit other then name, type, and alignment. This now means a CR 24 to 28 critter to get 1 piece of information.

If it is CR 19 to 23, one would think we would at least be getting two pieces of info, or more if the CR is slightly less.

I have a hard time believing we are fighting a CR 24+ critter. I have a difficult time believing we are fighting a CR 19+ critter.

I mention this because from a player point of view investing in knowledge skills, being really good at something - and I do mean epic levels of ability - and getting jack s+*% is very frustrating and rather the opposite of "fun"

20 for really rare unless I am grossly mistake

yhos is really rare. You will note that other creatures you have often everything about them.

Now I agree that is can suck but I play a bars and I deal w the same thing.

In any event I think that we established a long time ago that this module is not fun

In any event you got everything that matters

You are mistaken. 5 for common, 10 is average, 15 for uncommon.

Well then I was lied to by a VC at my last con. Nice

You also know it has true seeing all the time

Which I effectively told you by saying it was ignoring your images.

I gathered about the true seeing from the mirror images, yes.

Here's a nice spell I was going to try for this last battle. Who wants it?
"The spell grants a +8 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution, immunity to fear, a +4 morale bonus to Will saves, and doubles the critical threat range of all its attacks against creatures of the dragon type (this does not stack with Improved Critical, keen edge, or similar effects)."

Duhwoo already has large enhancment to ST and Con, and crit range is maxed...

I wouldn't object to the buff since it would be +4 more strength and con and a nice boost to will. The crit range can't be boosted any more since I already have improved critical.

cast it on yourself and go toe to toe with whatever is in the ice!!!!

yeah -- it's a Giant! (well, a giant something-or-other...)

It's a giant goblin!

as long as it is not a giant pugwampi

Giant Pugwampi goblin vampire

I used up the last two Darvik Fighting scrolls, so I won't be getting into combat again.

Summon Monster VII is lame. I should have taken Planar Ally.

I said before that I would use incense of meditation if we rested, however it appears I didn't explicitly state that I'd used it when we rested. Before the spells start getting flung around in this fight, please let me know which way you're going to rule on whether Darvik used it.

Thanks!

To a significant degree, I guess it doesn't really matter since I can't roll higher than a 1 on my spell penetration, and all my attack spells are stopped by spell resistance.

you got to rest for hours, so no problem

that one particular spell is the only one that was blocked so far. And it would have failed even 8 higher.

Yeah, I was just reference that the last time I rolled spell resistance I also rolled a 1. Regardless of my bonuses that won't help. I'm sure I'll waste my last two charges of dweomer's essence by rolling ones again.

Woohoo! Spent one of my rare resources and rolled a 20 making it pointless! hahahahaha

If you have FoM obviously you don't get engulfed. I know Darvik did but couldn't recall you other two off the top of my head

Yep, I threw freedom of movement on Vars and Lithuan as prep for this fight.

so that is everyone then? thats a bummer. Oh well, wrecking ball time.

oh wait, I don't see that on Avoreal's buffs SAWEET!

Literally she tastes like a twizzler

Yeah, she would be right boned if she wasn't wearing that ring of freedom of movement (on her profile sheet)

1, 1, 2, 4, 20 spell penetration. Amazing.

dammit all to hell!

wrecking ball of sludge and slime!

edit forgot the axiomatic from that first arrow

2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

Hey Vars, you gotta update your hit points somewhere I can see them if you want curing.

Teaching little kids today so can't post till later

yay it is over at last at long last!!!!! Finally the end of the worst module I have ever run.

So here is what I need to know. Please repost your numbers and faction.

Also who is going slow and who is normal.

My assumption is that anyone who was already 17 is going slow (except lithuan who is leaving us) so that we can all hit 19 together.

23493-2 and I guess Darvik is now "The Exchange" and Darvik is not going slow.

also post what faction you used to be since last time i reported they had not fixed that yet

Vars is 8845-1, and was Taldor. He'd probably switch to Grand Lodge if it matters. He is not going slow since he's 16 before the Chronicle sheet.

Also, since Lithuan wasn't going to play the next one, I was wondering if he'd offer to GM?

45225-3 and she was Qadira.. There giving a free swap to something else right? She's on normal btw.

7514-1 Liberty's Edge

What is it you want me to run?

I warn you, I am a much slower GM.

Looks like we said last section of Reign of Winter.

“The Witch
Queen’s Revenge”
Sanctioned Content
Part 3 to Conclusion
(Journey to the Island to area M7)
Character Levels
15–17

slower works for me, cause I am starting the hectic part of my year, from next week till end of November

I can send you the mod

I will buy it. I am running it right now anyways (although only on book 2)

Darvik was Qadira.

Duhwoo X. McKeener (10468-1) was formerly Taldor faction. Probably going Grand Lodge...

being character level 17, I reckon he's switching to SLOW progression now -- flashbacks to when he was a schoolboy: they put him on slow progression then, too!

Not that im in a hurry, but i was wondering what was the eta on the sheets?

This afternoon!

got distracted

ok here it is. Just fill in what you get if you are slow or normal. I will get it officially reported soonish.

Click me!!

woo hoo 120k!

Ok, 48k to make the falcata +5 (in addition to heart seeking and evil outsider bane).

24k to upgrade amulet of natural armor to +4
14k to upgrade ring of protection to +4
10k unfettered shirt
25k ring of evasion
sell ring of feather fall

Also grabbed critical mastery so targets are exhausted and staggered on a crit.

my big trick is Geas ,combined with rod of silent spell, ring of invis, and/or Spellsong

I think i might save for a staff of power..

Duhwoo only gets 60,000gp on the slow track -- plus he had 5,650gp saved going into this module, and got 20gp from day job roll:

- adding Heartseeker to his super falchion costs 22,000gp;
- a flawed orange rhomboid Ioun stone costs 12,000gp;
- a wand of Dimension Door costs 21,000gp;
- he gets the somewhat used wand of Ventriloquism from the chronicle sheet for 270gp.

and he has 10,400gp leftover.

of all the super-powerful expensive stuff he buys, he seems to enthuse most about the cheap, partially-used wand of Ventriloquism...

he also taps his faction for a new wand of Cure Light Wounds (2PA).
