City of Strangers (Inactive)

Game Master Nebten

Bug out time, I can potentially cover an escape with an image spell....?

That could work. You do the image and then Gunder/Garuneh heal Tina and Elizabeth and we get out.

Since we found some guy making zombies it seems,w e could go right back to the temple and inform them

Looks like some of us will need to be left behind if we don't want a TPK.

If we leave party members behind, there aren't enough resources for the remaining party members to finish Svil off. He'd make zombies of the dead and heal himself.

I'm trying to think of a sacrifice play, though. One of us could grapple him. Wait, he's Enlarged. Hmm.

Survivors can run out of the dungeon, which is 'losing'. Alternately, we can stay and fight and go down in a blaze of glory. Maybe he's low on HP? His AC should be worse now...of course, his hits and threat range are bigger now.

Well IMO it is best just for the others to run off. This is just a one shot so living/dying really doesn't matter.

Durnolf, in any case, is going to stay and fight. If someone can get out, all the better. If he can even manage to take this guy out, best. If it is a TPK and you guys are still up for playing and Nebten is still up for running, would the church of Pharasma be willing to send a second team in? I've definitely been enjoying the group so far, anyway.

I'm down. Aldous will bail if possible, though.

I would like to say again that I like the dynamics of this party and the individual personalities. I would be honored if the group would continue for future adventures. I have thought of contingencies if the party is able to overcome the evil that lies in Godsmouth Osstuary or if it overcomes them.

In the end it is the players and their characters that drive the story and its adventures. Keep up the good fight and we'll see where fate takes us.

well I would like to continue. Elizabeth really doesn't have a say in things right now though .o.o;;

I'm not really up for doing a second team member though. *shrug*

Zombie Liz?

Well a Team 2 would have to go through zombie versions of team 1 who would no doubt be guarding the alchemist. So a cleric with sun/glory domains would pretty much be required to succede imo.

How about Nebten plays team 2 while we play Zombie versions of ourselves defending the evil alchemist's lab?

Brainzzzzz

I think I would go with an army of halfling rogues and gnome illusionists. There would be tumbling trickery all over the place!

Brainzzzzz

"Hun-ger"

"Fresh Meat"

Now wanting to play They Hunger

And don't forget that they need to forget to put on their armor, or accidentally provoke an AOO, from time to time. Because thats what halflings do!

Elizabeth really needs some Acrobatics. This is what I get for goign for a INT based rogue instead of DEX.

Yeah she does.

;D

And don't forget that they need to forget to put on their armor, or accidentally provoke an AOO, from time to time. Because thats what halflings do!

Only the cool, cutting-edge smart ones do!

I never understod Int-rogues, but I know there are a group of people that do like to play them.

Just remember, the party isn't considered overdue in need of rescue for another 17 days.

I'm so tempted to quote Hudson from aliens, but am KOed

Just remember, the party isn't considered overdue in need of rescue for another 17 days.

Oh good. That should give our reanimated corpses plenty of time to build a defense perimeter against the halfling/gnome rescue party.

edit: Tina, you have a surprising talent for ninjaing me. Especially considering you are unconscious.

The concept for Elizabeth was that she wanted to be a mage and build golems, but her sexist pig family wouldn't let her. She was originally a mage but we needed a rogue.

We win! By the skin of our teeth.

Elizabeth would be interested in the MW Studded Leather

84/6= about 14 gold each.

It's 84 gp, just to make the math easier. That divides into 14 gp each.

Updated treasure list

I'd suggest giving the enlarge person to Tina. Durnolf's really just inte rested in an alchemists fire. My paranoia suggests putting the clw pot in his iron vial, put it can still be community pot.

I agree with Durnolf.

Tina should get the enlarge person vial, Elizabeth the studded leather.

If no-one else wants, I'll take the smokesticks & tanglefoot bag.

I agree that I should get the enlarge.

Aldous, you can wield that wand as well, I believe. I'll take the thunderstones. Durnolf, no +1 spear? Charrrrge!

Well..I guess....it's no Earthbreaker.

Oh, I see Divination nixes Necromancy. Bah, and I have Spellcraft, not UMD.

Remember, its a medium sized +1 spear. Magical weapons & armor typically don't resize.

Right. That was my original excuse. Then I forgot it.

Gunder want a shot at anything? We can always sell the spear for 500 gold from the half price rule.

Gunder will want to flip through the books, especially the journal.
Besides that there's nothing he is terribly interested in.
He might take the acid, if nobody else wants it.

Could always sell the formula book. Feel free to take acid, dude. The rest we can sell.

Totally forgot about the journals.

We should read them thoroughly.

Just make sure it's the Owsley acid and not the bad acid, maaaan. Farrrr outtt.

All the secrets of the Kaer Maga undercity are revealed to Gunder on his acid trip.
But then someone who looks just like him steals that memory from him.

So look for Esme after resting up or head for another section for the dungeon?

Both at once. I have to say, I'm somewhat sympathetic towards Svil and Esme. Too bad we can't just let them flee Kaer Maga in peace. (and take the reward.)

Maybe we can talk to him, and ask him about the reversal chamber and whatnot.

I was sympathetic towards him before he stabbed and blew all of you up.

Also, he cut his GF's throat, made her an undead creature, and continued to have relations with her.

That's gross.

I wanna pump him for all the information I can garner, then introduce him to the edge of the Storval Plateau, sans benefit of feather fall.

I kind of like him. Even more so now that I know his back story, then when he was just that weirdo who says "hut-hut" a lot.

In his defense: he was only attacking us after we were trespassing his lab for the second time, with the clear intention of taking him down. And he wanted to help his girl by turning her undead (at least thats his side of the story).

We could always tell the pharasmins that the naga was behind the disappearing bodies. She is a habitual liar. No one will believe her, if she denies it.

So I assume we are all sleeping now and will continue when we wake up? Scene change! :)

Anybody find it ironic that there is more in character talk on the Discussion side, then on the Gameplay side we have OOC information. =v)

C'mon, Aldous, didn't you find Rob Zombie's Living Dead Girl kinda hot? Then again, Esme was decayed looking while alive. Nevermind.

We did attack first.

Good eye, Garuneh. There are thick chains with a hook in the lab. Sadly, there are no locks. The tubing wouldn't be very good binding material.

We could try sacrificing the straps of a backpack. Leather is pretty good. Maybe Elizabeth has something in her rogue toolkit?
