Is there anything to stop Neri from casting a spell before combat and holding the charge, other than a risk of touching allies? Will that allow him to use chill touch here, or will 'holding the charge' require the same concentration check? :)
Nope, you can do that and hold the charge. Do remember that requires concentration though. Not concentration checks, but you have to maintain concentration on the spell to hold the charge.
Don't get hit, or try another spell...that sorta thing.
Mmhmm. Works. Thanks.
Sorry everyone, been busy. I'm travelling again this week, and I may be going to Kuwait Friday (still waiting to hear). So been busy all weekend prepairing.
You're cool :p We've just been chatting with minimal need for DM intervention... for now. :)
Kuwait. Eek.
Trying to make a good pun on "Kuwait," can't think of any.
Kuwait can wait.
Kuwait I love to Hate.
Sure you can wait, but can you Kuwait?
Sorry for the delays everyone, been a busy week. Kuwait is postponed again, but is on for the last half of the month, confirmed.
Business or pleasure, by the way? Or both? :p
Work.
Nat 1 on hit again
Clearly you're not meant to hurt things :p.
So you've been kept... Ku-waiting?
:p
Fireball is actually level 3. :P And I thought I was the one pathdabbling for all the magic crafting? :P If not, I'm positive I can find other uses for my mythic abilities :P
Also, I never got an answer to this: Can the folks inside of the volcano transport metal from the volcano to the keep on their own? If so, Neri would have set something up for that, so they'd be able to have more surplus metal.
Sorry, no, they can't carry it out of the compound. Or rather, they can, but then it's gone again. They vanish when they leave the compound, and come back later reporting they took it where you wanted. But it's not there.
Works :)
Yea sure hit the big bat I guess
Yea sure hit the big bat I guess
For what it's worth if there was confusion, that is also Jacob's target.
How was "underbat" affected by the bomb, if at all?
Splash damage.
Alrighty. :)
XD. I just realized, we just threw fire bombs in a room full of guano. We're lucky to be alive. :p
You have to do specific things to guano to make it explosive.
The best you might get is a methane explosion, if it's not vented properly, but the cave seems to be vented, so that's not an issue (if it wasn't, the methane would have killed the bats).
Also works. :) How many arcana points does Neri have left? Did he expend his mythic?
Jacob got healing which stops bleeding doesn't it? So his auto stabilize should work now also is Luna bleeding?
Luna and Neri are still bleeding, everyone else is good :)
Jacob should be awake now. He hit -7, then got healed for 10 by the infernal healing and the cure light.
Well, I guess Neri, hopefully with someone with light, withdraws back to what is perceived as a 'safe distance' from that area to rest and eat and such. If Lina will lead the way, so that Kong's lightspell can be behind them, Neri will use detect magic on the way out, each round will serve as a check against there being magic in the halls at all. If anything does register as magical on the way out, Neri will get the group to stop to investigate.
Are we staying in the caves? i'd think going home would be safer
Lina's barely injured, and would be fine pressing on if everyone wants to stay behind her and shoot bows. But if we're all out of heals, it might be time to go back and rest for the night.
You could fall back to the 'plug' you dug through. If you want to.
:p it's kind of funny. Aside from firebombs, Neri's the only one to really use any of his 'stuff' and he's used -all- of his stuff. I'm not sure whether I'm doing 3 minute mage right, or if I'm just roleplaying my character as wanting to keep people alive and safe, rather than worrying about how long his abilities can be drawn out for :p
Also, I'm abstaining on talking about the why in OOC of pressing forward or holding back or what we do, overall. It's more an IC thing for me, in this instance. Neri could be convinced to press on, despite having nothing really left except ray of frost, and us having -no- bombs to handle more swarms. And the fact that he's pretty much at half health. And Jacob is pretty much at half health... etc. :P
Falling back doesn't seem like too bad an idea.
We've explored the majority of this branch; we could do the rest, but there's nothing wrong with heading back.
The problem is, one bat swarm, and everyone dies. Neri's chill touch killed three bats of -thousands-. Lina's hammer crushed a couple. Jacob skewered some. Our only way to take them out is through aoe spells and abilities... like fire bombs. Luna's out of those. I don't have any memorized. I think Kong has vomit swarm, but that'd basically be his swarm versus that swarm, and I -think- from a 'meta' perspective bat swarm wins cause -flying-.
Point taken. In a level or two, though, we'll have plenty of ways to deal with swarms, so we'll get through eventually one way or another.
One vote: Get all the way out.
Three votes: Get a little out.
One vote: Bunch of pansies... fine. :P
So we're at least withdrawing and resting. Back to the enclosed area is -several- hours away... but it's also the least likely to cause problems for us. I'm not sure it will matter, though.
Might as well do some hiking, then, since we've gotta do something until the daylight's gone.
Alrighty, if people will go with, Neri withdraws to the plug. He'll try to maintain detect magic as they go, as long as the light spell stays behind him, and there's instead torchlight. He'll pause if he detects something of interest. Once at the plug, we can decide further on what to do. Neri thinks pressing on is wise, otherwise we need to reseal the hole (something I'm not sure any of us can do). Jacob wants to press on. Lina seems to want to press on. Kong seems just into the whole 'doing something again' thing :P Luna's the only one who wants to withdraw (and she seems to simply want to squirrel away in her house).
Let me know if I'm misreading the situation :)
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to better handle resting and the like? Spending a week of real life time to get our spells back and heal up a bit seems like a poor way of doing things... but I don't really have any suggestions, personally, to speed that up.
Posting to all my games :
As you should know by now, I'm going to Kuwait for two weeks and leaving today. This week has been very hectic between work, preparing for the trip, and having my work laptop bricked by our IT folks yesterday afternoon (and spending 6 hours getting data off the drive and resetting the OS).
I will try to get a post up on all games today before I go, but it will likely be this weekend before I can post, assuming I can do so from the hotel in Kuwait. I'll also be on Kuwait time, so likely I will only get a post or two up a day due to time differences.
I'll be back to US time in two weeks.
Enjoy :P
We'll be here when you get back
I'm in Kuwait. Got in late last night. Exhausted. I'll try to get a post up later in the day. Wanted to let you all know I was in and ok.
Alrighty. Glad to hear you had a safe trip :)
Detect Magic
Prestidigitation
Ray of Frost
Chill Touch -> Burning Hands
Infernal Healing
Shocking Grasp
Frigid Touch
Neri's prepared spells :)
If no one heals Neri before they rest, Neri will be at 22/32 when he awakes.
Congrats
