Ouch. Hope everything else is going well.
Also could wait til you get back home. Whatever you'd like.
Just keeping the dream alive.
Still here.
I don't get back until Saturday night. So my normal posting will resume on Sunday.
I finally have internet connection but we are getting ready to go to dinner.
Daniel take my action in the Legacy game will you?
I'm RPing being invisible.
And, Andrea... what do you care, make sure we're clear and blast them with the flashlight artifact! You've for 1000 ft range? Don't get the tree if you wanna be nice.
I'm bustin' chops.
:)
Hmm.. My dots didn't show up
I am trying to avoid crisping the tree and us. I will just ping orsin and Euphemia about us restarting on Sunday
I will be MIA pretty much all day on Sunday (San Diego Comic Con!), so I won't be able to post that day. I'm good with either being DMPC'd or deputizing someone else to run Orsin. :)
Well I belive Orsin's first move will be to Ice storm the bonfire in the lower left of the map.
Haven't lost my Phem, have I?
I never want to see another alophone as long as I live. There are terms for the symbols, but looking through indexes among indexes... Eugh. Homework.
I'm around, though. :) Just a quiet lurker.
Excellent... Gerard is pleased.
I'm actually glad Baldwin is taking a break... Can't have the DM burn out.
Aspirants, oh my!

It sounds like SOMEONE'S doing something with linguistics. :)
Euphbonics!
I get back this evening. I have a tabletop game this evening but I may not attend. Its a one shot game so depending how I feel, I should get post up this evening.
Woohoo! Welcome back!
All set here. Welcome back.
We need to get the caster dead!
Btw cloudkill sux
We need either a Gust of Wind or Dispel Magic NOW!
I need to call it night, the round has finally begun!
I'll be on tomorrow.
Alright, so, I'll be at Comic Con all day tomorrow and I can't post, but if Euphemia's dispel magic doesn't work, Orsin uses his turn to gust of wind the cloud. Next turn, I'll ice storm the bonfire around B4.
If forewarned, can Gerard avoid (without a reflex save) the "blinded" aspect of the AoE attack? Damage is damage...
Gonna be spotty, trip to see family... 2hr drive each way.
You have Evasion so on a successful reflex save you avoid the blindness and damage. DC is 22 though so at Reflex +12 you have a 50/50 chance
I suggest delaying after Andrea goes.
Got that... just trying to avoid the Reflex Save... best for me to be in position.
I think I am having a mid-life crisis. I am just unhappy and frustrated.(I'm 44)

Sorry to hear that is there anything you can do that would break that funk, like a quick trip or a change in your routine?
Well I would like to do something more with my job. I work in a deli and have been encouraged by the managers to use my culinary class studies to make new things but everybody wants sandwiches and I am too busy cleaning and restocking to do anything so I feel it has been a waste.
As for trips, there really isn't anyplace for me to go. Even on vacations I stay at home.
When something like this happens to me I do stuff for charity. :)
I wish there was someplace for me to go. I don't drive because of bad eyesight. Don't want disneyland and getting hotel someplace seems senseless because I would be holing up most of the time.
Anyway, we need serious area control here, our bug is getting skewered and I don't know if we can save it.
Being legally blind, I understand.
Have you tried joining a support group, though? Or bargaining with a coworker or friend to take you somewhere?
Haven't tried a support group. Or asking to be taken somewhere.

I actually did a quick search of the message boards and turned nothing up on this question. There are some threads regarding gaze attacks, mirror image and closing/averting your eyes but nothing directly on point.
I did see this:
So I will let players:
Close and shield their eyes as a full round action in the round the spell is used, if they so choose. I presume Andrea would warn via message that the spell is about to be used. As an example, if Gerard does an action in the round and then Andrea uses the spell, Gerard needs to do the reflex save. If on the other hand, Andrea warns she going to use the spell, then Gerard does not act other than protecting his eyes, the spell is cast then no reflex save is required BUT he takes full damage from the spell.
You will avoid the permanent blinded condition but take full damage.
I can take it.
Warn me Andrea. I'll suck the damage and cover my eyes.
Where are you planning to go? Andrea will be dropping this after Gerard and the Giants act(You have already acted/moved so you would suffer)
Are you willing to sacrifice the bug?
No. I have a Cure Critical to spare.

Remember if someone acts, then you drop it, they need to make the save or be blinded. You all need should be on the same page if you are in the AoE.
Basically, everyone who wants to avoid the save for blindness protects their eyes in anticipation of the spell...that is their full round action. Then they take full damage.
It's area is huge.
Can it be dropped foreword without getting us?
sunburst has a 400 ft plus 40/level range.
I plan on shooting it to the back of the map. It has an 80' radius burst so I can pretty much score a major hit on the majority of their forces.
Remember, the only one who goes after me is the charmed giant and we have no idea what the enemy spellcasters have in mind to do and we don't want another cloudkill on us(Think of Frank!) They go at the top of the round so I doubt we can afford me doing something else right now.
Anyway, off to dinner.
No. I have a Cure Critical to spare.
Curing he bug is possible, but what about a crowd control spell? Depends on how many get blinded.
I'm not trying to sway anyone's actions but think about all the possibilities before you use the artifact and cast the spell. I don't want to be told that I'm being unfair like the fight with Madjaw, if there are foreseeable ripple effects.
I can't imagine the queen of flies would let us off for killing her monster.
Well I plan on casting far enough ahead so the bug isn't caught that is for sure.
Can we afford not to at least blind as many as we can? Daniel of course remebers very well what happened when we let the halfling gain control of the battlefield.
FYI Trout/Gerard: The halfling used Cloudkill and Ice Storm to tenderize us and set us up to lose two characters. Granted we let ourselves be suckered into fighting two bearded devils and utterly forgot there was a door we could have run through.
Right now the battlefield is set where the soliders will be hacking the bug up and have been doing an excellent job of it, I think they have carved off 1/2 it's hp already and the giants are going to sweep in along the bottom.
Andrea's options as I see them are like this.
1.Cast Sunburst into their back ranks to blind as many possible.
2.Wind Wall to block archers
3.Do a Summoning spell which won't go off until the bottom of round 2
Right now we are rather spread out, which is a problem we had in the past(This of course is because we were trying to flee the Cloudkill)
Counting off the squares, if I drop the spell at BG-65, I can catch a large amount of the enemy while stopping short of harming the bug.
Post in a second... need to look at map, just got home!
I've provided you the enemies in the quadrant that you entered into, there are other areas that have not been revealed.
It's not just the bug... it's everything... far back is the tree itself and anything that calls it home.
You serious, we can't take these mooks without the artifact? Or are you guys lazy. He just had hot dice.
Well let us just get everything on the table because as Baldwin said, he doesn't want to get accused of witholding information when we chose to do something. Right now I am getting frusterated with my inability to do something.
If I drop the Sunburst at BG-65, am I going to end up flash frying those we don't want to harm? Such as The Mother's forces?
The reason I am getting frusterated is because said halfing/other caster can just keep spamming us with Cloudkills/Fireballs/whatever and keep us locked down.
Now I COULD drop soemthing like Blessing of Fervor to grant us haste but that means we get stomped on for another round. SUmmoning eats an entire round and really, I think if we don't get some control of the battlefield we are going to lose the bug.
Take a look at the stats of those mooks. They are swinging two attacks a round and the archers have very high BABs as well.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on what I should do, please tell me because I would really like to keep playing but it is getting harder to do so.
