Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Goood morning.

Page 83: Improved Evasion. This works like evasion, except that while the familiar still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, it henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless familiar does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.

Witch familiars are the same as wizard familiars

Yup. I am such a flake sometimes.

Well Daniel could rock on but this Invisibility is a problem.

Perhaps a day to reprep spells (or change the roster ever so slightly, wink, wink). In particular INVISIBILITY PURGE or See Invisibility.
Something for Incorporal Undead.

Keep in mind people we cannot anticipate everything

Right. Andrea would swap out her summonings for other spells like Invisibility Purge and Wall of Stone for battlefield control.
CHain of Perdition would be good for snagging flying wizards.

Daniel is a must for his DR penetration. Andrea can use a bow but with 10 str, she plinks. Since Lucrezia is gone, we have lost major ranged power with her silver and ghost salt arrows(plus that derned smuggling ban on Ghost Salt.)

Andrea can use Ghostbane Dirge, but it is not a sure thing, channeling can work as well. We have the Morrowfall with Searing Lights, Sunbeam is like a wave motion gun that zaps anything in it's path(us included)

Treasure in wizard chest
880 gp, 5 diamonds valued at 500 GP each, One pearl valued at 1000GP, 3 ornate scroll cases valued at 500 GP each and there are 4 arcane wizard scrolls within.

Edit: My Resist Fire-Communal and Protection from Lightning-Communal spells are now expired from the searching and healing.

Off to dinner

I like eggs.

Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads..
Stiglor room loot
Assorted gems worth a total of 5,780 gp
+1 shadow studded leather

Something for Euhpehmia to check out is the Familiar Satchel from Ultimate Equipment.

[This armored case provides total cover to any Tiny or smaller
creature contained within it. It includes air holes (which can be
plugged with cork stoppers if you need to go underwater) and
two receptacles for food and water.]

I recall a 3.6 magic item where you could tuck your pet away and it would be magically provided air and food.

Thanks and sorry, not tweaked for Perception.

Need to get you those Eyes of the Eagle. We still have a 9 charge Wand of Secret Door location but the duration is limited.

Sorry for lack of posting.

I didn't get that job and wife and I are dealing with that.

Still here.

Major bummer. Hope things get better.

It's hard not to take it personally, but it's a numbers game... Just keep taking the shots and keeping the faith.

You can see why it would have been unbelievable difficult to describe the layout to the players. Maptools was absolutely necessary.

Yeah, Master Gm. And really, really, sorry, Daniel...

Some dotting trouble

Edit. Off to lunch for a couple of hours, Andrea will follow with the rest of the group.

Back for more.

Yeah, Master Gm. And really, really, sorry, Daniel...

Appreciated.

He has loaned me money to keep paying the bills while I look for work.
He just helped out, knowing how bad it was getting.
Best Dad ever, but still feels horrible being 31 and always having stood on your own feet, having to take a handout from your father.

The hardest part was comforting my 7 year old boy who was crying in bed that I didn't get a job he knew I really needed.

Still looking. Problem is my cv is really nice in terms of tickets, almost always make the second interview. Then miss out at the finish line.

Sorry to hear that STR. You are fortunate to have strong family support, I'm sure your dad understands and wants the best for his son and his family. Hang in there.

You got ears to listen and shoulders to lean on here.

Treasure from D-15
7 Paintings worth 2,000 gp each.

Be spotty for a few hours.

I'll won't be on till later this evening...daughter has a swim meet this evening.

I just got home form the swim meet and I've a bit of work to do tonight. I'll get some posts up tomorrow.

Treasure
Tinder box with ash 100gp

This is going to be hard day with homesickness.... I can already tell...

Access to post? Where is home?

My dots are screwy again. :(

Radiated divination. Scrying, clairedanes, augury, etc...

Augury is sucky. Weal/Woe and you have to be so specific that you are better off just using common sense. 'Will opening the chest without looking for traps be ookay?' Just check for traps as standard MO.

Here is a suggestion for goals we can set for ourselves so we can have more direction.

1.Explore the top floor and secure it. Not good as a base since Ilnerik no doubt will come and kill us if we try camping. Once we are done, we can debate moving down either the stairs we found or any other stairs or heading back to rest.
2.Explore first floor. I suggest top down method.
3.Attempt to find Ilnerik(We can probably attempt to scry with the destruction of the model so this might help cut down search time.)

Agreed.

Only one general observation. With magic items being scarce, we should gather as much as possible.

I think we pretty much have all we need item-wise(Should of asked Azreal to take a list with him of items we could use so our friends could shop for us.) Remember, once we kill Ilnerik, we can get anything we passed over.

0217.
I BE SLEEPING

I'm gettign ready to watch the baseball game...Go Rays! I should be on.

Oh boy! Got into a zombie horror game, let us see how long I go before I must detonate my keg of ale.

Swim meet today then gaming night, I'll be sparse.

Just waiting on what Gerard sees, he opened a new door.

Gerard sees the... FYUOO...TCHAH!

Whoops! Best to start hiding Gerard so you can flank the caretaker.

Combat!

So getting ahead of ourselves but when/if we end the shadowcurse what should we do? I'm for disposing of the twins ASAP by trying to turn Chammedy against Eccardian and then finishing off the hopefully wounded duo. Let's give Gerard the lead for this one since he is for getting things done quick.

Let's kill them and take their stuff!!

When we leave to rest we should see if we can scry on Ilnerik/Totemtrix so we can figure out where they are and save on hunting. Plus also determine where the Infernal Contract is.

Plus see if we can get some more scrolls. Vital ones are,

Deathward
Magic Circle Against Evil (So entire party can be covered)
Resist Energy so we can cover our bases better

Unfortunately, Euphemia can't teleport all of us. If she was able to, she could drop us on top of Ilnerik after scrying. (Unless one of us can get reduced in size and hide inside a Handy Haversack)

If we can get it, Mithril or Silversheen. Every weapon should be coated with it.(Andrea still has the mithril crossbow bolts from Delvehaven that Grumm could melt down if need be.) Vampires have that DR/Silver and Magic so every single point is going to matter

I'll get some posts up in the morning.

Working as a unit, I'd expect once Gerard has opened a door the others would detect magic and percept for secret doors.

A "sweep".

Going to workout.

Gerard what buffs from Andrea or Daniel are you speaking of applying to you? I don't know, offhand what is active, I know some of Andrea's buffs have timed out.

I think mostly Daniel's paladin aura... she had some that lasted 10 min per level, maybe.

I was so much asking as I was asking them, Sir. Guess I'm borderline, need a +2? LOL.

I have Magic Circle against Evil on Orsin that is still active since it is one of those 10 min/level things.

As for Sweeping the area, I think making sure no monsters are lurking before treasure hunting is best.

I'm leaving for a couple hours back around 7:30, I'll take my action then. Wait till I act before you take your action.
