Beautiful rolls, epic round!

Brezik Arkennslag |

earth elementals... and brezik was going to tell everyone he and Gad had killed a trio of Sand Dogs...

Attacked by some over grown dust bunnies?

Gad’larr Fireblood |

Not many people use them from what I can tell, but I tend to favor small elementals with most low-mid level summon spells (Arcane or Divine!). They are more useful than people think.

I was just thinking today, it's been too long since Vivian has been in the mood or position to give a speech. Maybe soon, who knows, but her motivation is starting to come back again!

![]() |

Tell you what, that fight with the earth elementals was intense!
I was mistaken on Brezik's first attack and thought he landed his attack, and the resulting 28 damage barely damaged the elemental. Thought Brezik and Gad'larr were toast.
I've been wondering if we will get an obvious push when we find what we need, or if it will be on us to determine when action should be taken. The ledger is the first big breakthrough, but I'm still hesitant whether we have enough to take them down. At this point I'm not sure we have a choice.

Brezik Arkennslag |

New gear that could be useful.....
three vials ??? GM are these empty?
horseshoes of speed (Allister?)
a single dose of sovereign glue
+1 cold iron heavy mace (Vivian?)
a potion of cure moderate wounds
a potion of gaseous form
a single application of oil of invisibility.
who wants... stuffs?

Gad’larr Fireblood |

I'll take the healing potion if no one wants it.
The Oil of Invisibility and Potion of Gaseous Form could be handy! See my game post for details!

Lol we really are experts are breaking the group up. It just seems so efficient!

![]() |

It might make sense to go together... If nothing else, we could provide a distraction for someone to use the invisibility oil. Otherwise we will all be waiting, and if anything happens they won't be alone.

Gad’larr Fireblood |

Well, there are two different items...we could send two people together? Brezik with Qina? I just worry trying to bluff our way upstairs will end in the whole temple coming down on our heads!
=)
As Vivian has pointed out. Gad is NOT a bluffer. Nor are most of our group. We're mostly built for fighting. I'm just trying to think of ways to avoid making bluff checks ss much as possible!
@GM: I gotta ask. How is Avlar taking all of this right now? He's gotta be shaking his head at our audacity/stupidity by now.

![]() |

This is a bit too meta for the gameplay thread, but I think the potion and oil only have duration of a couple minutes, which would not likely be enough time for anyone to infiltrate upstairs, search around, steal something of importance, then return.
We could potentially go up there together and create some sort of diversion if we get caught so Qina, or Brezik (since someone under the invisibility oil still makes sound and he is a rogue with stealth), could drink the potion and peel off.
If we did it once dinner was served there might not be many people, if any, upstairs.
Other options would be:
-Interrogating Krant, but I don't think he will be very willing to give up information without extreme measures, and Allister is strongly against interrogation/sharp questioning. NOTE: that doesn't mean you guys couldn't do it, you'd just have to send Allister elsewhere and tell him a little white lie.
-Moving together and fighting our way through. Super dangerous. Plan "Z".
We're in a tough spot!

![]() |

Since all these cultists are only in it for the loot, we probably could pay Krant off. Kind of against all of our characters though.
I like the diversion during dinner, my meta-intuition feels like we all should be up there in the end though. They did put 3 Elementals on the loot... why not boobytrap this too?

![]() |

Krant seems different than the rest. My gut feeling is that he is dedicated because these cultists support and sponsor his violent tendencies.
I mean, my guess is a vast majority of the wealth is controlled by the black robes - it's not like they are living lavishly eating crappy mash and sleeping in bunks. Seems like the average person is holding out on a promise of wealth that will never materialize.
Having said that, I'm just as clueless as the rest. I have no idea what to do, open to ideas.

Gad’larr Fireblood |

I don't have a problem giving Avlar either the Oil of Invisibilty or the potion of Gaseous Form. What about5 the rest of you? We need to decide this and move on. Its time!

![]() |

My vote is for giving gaseous form. Invisibility could be a life saver for us, but gaseous form could get him out in a pinch.

Gad’larr Fireblood |

Motion carried! Avlar will have the potion of gaseous form to escape with if needed.
We move UP and ON!!
=)

Hey all, my wife and I are currently in the hospital. My second son is on the way! I will try to keep up, but if I am holding up the game just bot me for the next couple days. Wish us luck!

Gad’larr Fireblood |

Hey all, my wife and I are currently in the hospital. My second son is on the way! I will try to keep up, but if I am holding up the game just bot me for the next couple days. Wish us luck!
Congrats Allister!
Give you son a warm welcome from us!
=)

![]() |

Congrats man! The Dawnguard grows stronger today!
I also want to mention that I love how we're instantly going all out against Ergathis, the man as brought the fury down upon himself!

![]() |

Oh man, much scheming would have gone down! People always pick on the tradesmen! The butcher, the baker, the stable boy. Dare we introduce unions into this young nation?

Brezik Arkennslag |

Hey all, my wife and I are currently in the hospital. My second son is on the way! I will try to keep up, but if I am holding up the game just bot me for the next couple days. Wish us luck!
Congratulations... If you guys are looking for a name you should consider Brezik.

Belathorian Twice Born |

My work filter won't let me into gameplay, I take it we are fighting Egarthis now? I'll post as soon as I get home... couple of hours. Sorry for the delay.
Grats, Al though! Everyone's having babies at the moment! Hope all is going well.

![]() |

Well, I guess my role as tank has been fulfilled. Yeesh.
@GM - I'm not sure how I got 10 touch AC. Either I forgot to subtract the ability score modifier or incorrectly added Deft Dodger trait to the score. Either way, it should be 9. Updated.

Brezik Arkennslag |

[dice=Great Axe]1d20+8
[dice=damage]1d12+9Brezik here's more of the fight then he can really see. He simply charges the only Enemy he can see. charging the unhurt priest
Brezik here's more of the fight then he can really see. He simply charges the only Enemy he can see. [ooc] charging the unhurt priest
As Brezik arrives he loses a little of his drive... Allister needs help. Get out here guys.
I'm guessing that the 15 misses... seeing as Gad missed with a 16 vs. one that was flat-footed...
Updated the map. Put Beltharion where I believe he indicated his location should be and moved Qina so she could see into other room to get her spell off.

![]() |

Lovin it guys! One thing, I think the bannister is on the otherside of the blue square.

Gad’larr Fireblood |

Gasp! You are correct Viv! Well, I guess I hope I beat his CMD by at least 5 points then. (+5 feet to Bull RUsh if his CMD is 16.) No worries.
=)

![]() |

DAMN, you guys stepped it up big time after Al dropped. That was an awesome few turns.

![]() |

To Gad's question: My thought was that we were holding onto valuable or potentially useful things as we went through the rooms.
So:
necklace, bag, potion, parchment, map of Tamran with a number of routes detailed, gold dagger, the list with our names on it, small whip, a pair of manacles, two bottles of Andoren brandy worth 20 gp each, and four vials of exotic perfumes worth 50 gp each

Brezik Arkennslag |

Did we get a channel or two off before walking outside?

![]() |

No, but They're not in range right now...

Happy 2000th post everyone!

Now that our second AP has come to an end, I want to take a moment to extend my deep thanks to GM Fez. You have done an outstanding job thus far and I sincerely appreciate all the work and time you put in to keep this game going.
And to everyone in the group, it's been a blast so far and I can only hope we continue indefinitely. This is a fantastic group of players and I excitedly refresh the page throughout the day looking forward to new posts.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Cheers to all of you.

At 5th level Allister gets to choose one of two Divine Bond options. I've decided to go with the weapon enhancement bond, but would like to get some clarification from the GM.
The presence of faith and a chosen deity have been basically non-existent for Allister. In lieu of that, I have played him with faith and devotion to a cause/organization (the Dawnguard). Can I base the source of my Divine Bond through power gained through the Dawnguard? One option I was considering, with your approval, would be for Allister to be promoted from Initiate to Lightbringer within the organization after our recent adventure. Otherwise, as a second option perhaps you could facilitate some divine intervention from Sarenrae that will largely expand my faith? I would prefer the first option but will let you decide, and I'll be happy either way.

Sneak attack progresses to 3d6
Rogue's Edge (Ex) At 5th level, a rogue has mastered a single skill beyond that skill's normal boundaries, gaining results that others can only dream about. She gains the skill unlock powers for that skill as appropriate for her number of ranks in that skill. At 10th, 15th, and 20th levels, she chooses an additional skill and gains skill unlock powers for that skill as well.
Going to go Craft(Armor) I think.
1 feat
Craft Magic Arms and Armor (Item Creation): You can create magic weapons, armor, or shields. Enhancing a weapon, suit of armor, or shield takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in the price of its magical features. To enhance a weapon, suit of armor, or shield, you must use up raw materials costing half of this total price.
The weapon, armor, or shield to be enhanced must be a masterwork item that you provide. Its cost is not included in the above cost.
You can also mend a broken magic weapon, suit of armor, or shield if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the raw materials and half the time it would take to craft that item in the first place.
See magic item creation rules for more information.
