Adventure Path Reign of Winter

Game Master Almonihah

Yeah, the Blightfire is the entire reason this enemy was CR 17. It's an extremely nasty affliction, especially since it's drain rather than damage. That wand of restoration would do the trick for keeping him alive, though.

I guess Bulvi wont be dying then! He's just mostly dead, there's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. And it'd take off one of the negative levels he has.

Yeah, if you were all dead only one thing we could do…go thru your pockets and look for loose change… ;)

Bull, I’m so glad you’re not dead!

So, who has this mysterious wand of super healing.

It’s on the loot list under the Party stash tab; usually anything to do with healing is assumed to be with our primary healer, in this case Kal…we also have five scrolls of restoration as well…

I would have guessed that anything unclaimed was in the bag of holding. But if Kal says he has it, I'd go along with that. Wands are certainly easier to use with UMD than scrolls.

Actually, Kal definitely does not have it. Restoration is not on the Druid list so someone else is probably going to have to UMD it. I'm assuming it's in the sack of magic and treasure.

My bad…seems odd to me that Restoration is not on the Druid’s checklist, I wonder at the reasoning for that…it’s up to Q then…

What a time for a natural twenty with the clock ticking down!

He still has two con damage from the round after it gets cast though he would have needed another casting to remove the second negative level.

Glad no one died there. :D

All right, I think we're ready to move to the next encounter, but there's some things we should sort out.

Spellcasters, any good protective spells for the party? Also, everyone take a look at the potions and scrolls we have just now acquired and have been carrying in party treasure.

If we're teleporting back to the tent, we need to do it in such a way that whoever is left behind can get to us before we face the div. If I recall, the distance is about half a mile? Would a haste/fly/invisibility combination on one of us last long enough to cover most of that distance at least?

We have yet to identify the magic items we found in the treasury. I suppose we can wait to do that later, but we may be missing out on something pretty good that might help us.

Finally, we may have to kill Mametqul and his harem, but we have to figure out a way to save his coffee!

Just an FYI for y'all. I'll be on the road to Florida tomorrow as we'll be leaving on a cruise on Monday; I'll be checking the threads tomorrow morning and then when we arrive at my cousin's house so will be able to post...

The ship leaves Monday afternoon and returns Saturday morning; I've purchased the internet package so I'll be checking at least every morning when I get up and then again before I hit the hay at night...I should be able to keep up with posting, albeit at less than my usual rate...

Oooo, exciting! Have a good trip! Don't worry too much about us, I'm sure we can have Fin shoot everything if we need to :D

Thanks, GM! I should be able to post at least once a day…

Let me know when you've made your preparations, I suppose. :D

I’m ready to go, GM, whenever everyone else is; if we don’t have enough spells to transport everyone, Al can do his stealth thing back to the Div’s tent…

I think we need the spell casters to step in and say what they're actually doing here.

"YES, I AM CASTING THESE PROTECTIVE SPELLS FOR THE PARTY" (CASTS THEM OR SAYS THEY WILL CAST THEM ON ARRIVING AT THE TENT)
"NO I DON'T HAVE ANY SPELLS THAT CAN HELP, SORRY"
"I CAST TELEPORT" OR "I DONT HAVE ANOTHER TELEPORT SPELL TODAY, SORRY"

Otherwise we are ready to go.

I've still got my mage armor on. I can also cast Mirror Image but that has a target of Personal so it only helps me. I can also cast Haste on the party once we're ready.

I can cast fly a couple more times today too.

I don't think there is any other prep for me to do so I'm ready to go.

That's perfect. I don't know if Flying spells will be useful if we fight in the tent, but Mirror Image and Haste should help a lot.

Sorry, today was a travel day, I’m back from the cruise…will try to get a post in before I hit the hay…if not, first thing in the morning…

Hope you had a great cruise. Heading out from FL makes me think you did the Caribbean. Which cruise line?

I'm doing a cruise from Miami towards the end of April. We'll be on Symphony of the Seas. That's one of those monster ships from Royal Caribbean. I've never been on one of those behemoths. If you've been on one of those, maybe you have some tips for me.

I totally play with rich people.

I won’t be affording a cruise ever at this rate and this last job I got is the beat paying job I’ve ever had. I might even get a new computer next Christmas, maybe.

And you guys are off wasting thousands on vacations. Enjoy them extra hard for me okay.

In the meantime, SNOW! :)

You don't play with rich people, you play with middle class people. Rich people don't share boats with hundreds or thousands of other people. They pay dozens of people to man their boats.

Also...what exactly should be we wasting thousands of dollars on?

Also...I'm in the same snow...which rich people are not. They like to head to Cancun when bad weather comes.

In my opinion, anyone above the financial breakpoint is rich. Once you are above that point, you will only grow in net worth unless you are very foolish and waste money recklessly enough to drop yourself below the financial breakpoint. So called middle class are above that breakpoint, just not very far past that point either because they are not good with money or because they have only recently broken past the breakpoint.

As they are going on cruises, there are only two possibilities, A) they are past the financial breakpoint, or B) they are extremely stupid with their money (an admittedly common affliction). I’d rather not call my friends stupid idiots, so I presume them rich instead.

The cruise my wife and I just went on for five nights was right at $220 a night…that’s comparable to the per night rate for a decent hotel in Atlanta…but the cruise also includes entertainment, all meals, and a bunch of activities…the hotel might include a breakfast…there are good deals that can be found if you’re patient…

That being said, compared to the rest of the world, we’d probably be considered rich…compared to the rest of the U.S., as Kal said, definitely middle class…

Well, you know what they say about opinions...

...everyone likes mine.

In my mind, a rich person is someone who gets richer no matter how much they spend.

I had a long "essay" I was going to post here about rich vs poor and all that but decided against it. This isn't the forum.

Bottom line to me is that it's not about how much money someone has, it's about what they do to help people who are in need.

Most of the "rich" people I know are very generous and do much to help people.

Thanks, Sakitu, we had a great cruise…

While I have not been on the Symphony, I have been on the Harmony and they’re both Oasis-class ships…

We had a lot of fun on the Harmony; they have a Central Park in the middle of the ship (with real trees and everything), a boardwalk (my wife loved the carousel), both water and ice shows in addition to their normal activities. There’s a lot of stuff to do…robotic bartenders (I prefer the real ones), a floating bar (it changes decks depending on the time), lots of trivia, lots of entertainment. One thing to note though; on ships this big, they require reservations for the shows so you’ll need to use the RCCL app to do so (preferably when you first get on the ship)…

If you have any questions, just ask…and if I can think of anything else, I’ll let you know…

Waiting on Bulvi and Sakitu I think.

I’ll ping ‘em on Discord…

Waiting on Bulvi, Sakitu and Selena.

Please, everyone should be able to check in at least once a week. Especially when everyone knows we're in combat. We are SO CLOSE to the end of this thing.

I’ll tag ‘em on Discord again…

I was going to ask myself, thanks for saving me the time. :D

Eesh...bad time to make this announcement:

I'm going to chaperone camp for my daughter starting tomorrow and coming back Friday so I likely won't be able to post until at least Saturday.

Kalchine is basically out of spells so he'll use a slam attack if his turn comes up. I usually just copy and paste it out of my last post.

If someone is in serious need of healing, he has a cure moderate, 4 cure light and unlimited Stabilizes available.

And yes, for those doing the math, I will be at a kids' camp in the deep woods next to a lake on Friday the 13th. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Yes, I'm sure that will be fine. XD Have a good campout!

Anyone want to bot Bulvi for this round, or should I?

Posted so no botting needed! Sorry moving house

Ah, that is a rather distracting thing. :D Hope the move's going well!

Does your moving house have chicken legs?

Quasit: "Mametqul--this you?"
