@ Calla:Check the dead Drow. Maybe he has a key or something.
@ Lefrik: Not your fault, buddy. Game on!
Yes. Yes. Use your frustration and despair. Feed me, my children. Years of preparation has come to this, the hour of thy doom.
Did you get a red lightsaber for your birthday, DM Bigrin? ;p
Bruendor, maybe you can flank with Magpie?
No, but I did get some kyber crystals and a DIY kit. I can make my own.

You're a mean ole meanie head...*Checks thesaurus for barbarians* Who is mean
Forgot about that vicious greataxe. Let's see if it hurts the darn thing
You also forgot about that shocking greatsword we took off the Drow warrior guarding the pocket dimension. The one we gave to you....? ;)
Right, the one with the bane magic against anything with more than 4 legs
;)
And the +2 bonus that doesn't zap the wielder, iirc. ;p
But seriously, it was there, it has a good magical bonus, zaps things with lightning and we gave it to you. :/
Well, this thing is +2. that was +1 I thought? so... you know, in case it takes +2 or better I thought i'd risk the painful dmg
Ah, you're right. The sword is +1. Don't mind me.... ///0_0\\\
It's okay. Point is moot as I can't hit jack
Dice are in 'kill the PCs' mode
First time I've ever tangled with a Retriever.
.... I didn't like it. Once we're somewhere safe, I need to update my spell selection, get us some better protections.

If I had known it was a retriever I would have kept the javelin a bit longer, thrown it far as possible and yelled at it to "go fetch"
I don't think it was golden. :p But good thought!
As soon as you guys have me de-petrified and we have some time, I'll make a better javelin for Lefrik.
Ha!
Also, wait: We're depetrifying you? I thought we had a new coat stand...

Ah, but then who's going to craft Calla that special wondrous item that will allow you to curdle milk with your threatening scowl? ;)
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
/me scowls.
I just do that by the natural force of my scowl.
I am so glad Kelendra learned Obscuring Mist. ^_^
It's up to you, Calla; you're the only one with access to Knowledge (arcana) now.
Make us proud!
Let's blow this dump! Sunlight! Fresh breezes! A Goblin not made of stone! (And maybe I can finally be recreated.) Wahey! :D
Can we not reconnect your link to AB once he's unstoned?
I got et by that dragon. You're thinking of Magpie.
For a while, I thought we weren't going to make it out of the Underdark. Whew!
And that, dear players, is exactly what I wanted you to think. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Believe me, we noticed, "Darth" Bigrin. :p
It's going to be .... interesting .... to see how the Elves respond to the request to de-petrify a Goblin. ^^;
while we're waiting on me to set up the next module, why don't you guys...LEVEL UP!!!!!
W00t. ^_^
Before I do, is there any feat I might select that you guys think would be especially useful to the group?
Yay! AB can add stoneskin... (too soon?)
I assume we can also go through our loot and disburse some money? I think I can sell the +1 hand crossbow (2,400 gp, or sell for 1,200) as it's clear I'm never going to use it.
Calla would like to make a couple purchases:
* Bracers of falcon's aim (4,000 gp; 2,000 if Stone Lad makes it)
* Quiver of endless ammunition (assuming Bigrin's OK with it, basically an efficient quiver with abundant ammunition tacked on, which I figure should be about 3000 gp, or 1,500 for AB) -- this would let me stop having to track regular arrows, which would make life a lot easier. I can formally write it up if you really want.
Leveling up
Hitpoints 7 + 6 (Thank you belt) for Con, and +1 more for favored class bonus
Skills
+2 Acrobatics, +1 Climbing, +1 Perception, +1 Survival
Feat
Critical Focus (Must remember I've got that)

I suggest making dice "macros" in your alias. Have a attack and a crit roll queued up, and then you can just delete the latter line when it's not needed.

If you survive this next encounter, then you will probably be in a position to buy and/or make gear...probably.

When next we have the chance, I want to shop for some new spells to boost this party's defences. Ideally, I'll be scribing scrolls of the most essential in case I get petrified again or knocked out cold, so you guys can use them, too.
Which spells would you all like me to get?
Stoneskin is IMO one of the best, though it can be expensive. Sticking that on Lefrik could save a lot of pain...
I don't know that any of us could use your wizard-y scrolls, though.
How about Break enchantment? Magic circle against evil? Bull's strength, Bear's endurance? Those and others overlap, right? ;)
Don't we have magic circle already?
Bull's strength/bear's endurance is always good, though may need to make sure what stat-boosting items folks already have.
Break enchantment's a nice one for times of trouble.
Dismissal is not a bad choice - drow love them some demons, and high level play sees a lot of outsiders. Teleport is also a good choice for when we need to get the Hell out of Dodge, or the Darklands, or wherever. As Calla said, break enchantment is also a useful solution for whenever someone who isn't our wizard gets turned to stone or cursed or something else gross.
Or, if you just want to blast stuff, cone of cold is always a good choice.

Feat: Improved Feint (it's been a long time coming)
A few high-level Summon Monster-scrolls probably won't go amiss, either. You know, for when we need emergency backup, like we did against that Retriever.
By the way, I figured out a reason why the Elves might hate constructs; they were at odds with Thassilon, and those guys crafted all kinds of messed-up things. A few centuries of having their front lines hammered by golems would sour anyone's disposition towards even the least threatening of constructs....
Just a head's up that I'll be out of the country -- and likely not updating -- Oct. 20-30. Please feel free to DMPC me, obviously.
So, if you haven't gotten your flu shot yet, I highly recommend it. This year's strain hit me really hard. Likely because I am immunosuppressed, but still...
On a somewhat related note, I will be travelling all this week, so posting will be in the evenings only.
DM Bigrin, how much downtime do we have before the action kicks off again?
If we have a couple of days, I could do some crafting to benefit the party, and maybe rebuild Duchess.
Edit: I'm working in a week or so downtime for you to sell/resupply/craft as you wish.
And now I see what people mean when they talk about the elves in this AP...
Okay, I'm eyeing spells to scribe and would like you guys' input:
5th - Apparent master, communal stoneskin, dismissal, fickle winds, fire snake, lightning arc, overland flight, passwall, teleport
4th - Communal mount, communal nondetection, communal protection from energy, dimensional anchor, greater celestial healing, greater make whole, remove curse, revenant armour, secure shelter, tough crowd
3rd - Assume form, communal darkvision, communal protection from arrows, communal resist energy, communal spiderclimb, mass dazzling blade, sheet lightning
Yes, I know I can't afford to buy them all and we don't have time to wait for me to scribe them all. ^^; Help me winnow fr the essentials?
