Sorry friends. I've had a week that kicked my rear. I'm doing my best to catch up, and try to have a post up by the end of today (Wednesday). I just wanted to let my games know I'm alive and kicking the week back as best I can.
I should point out that Wulfram is not ready for a boss fight. He really needs to rest and memorize spells.
I'm not too dissimilar. I've been using Burn way more than normal (read: any amount at all) and would like to recover before a major fight.
I'm not sure that we can bury the entrance.
You conjure up an extradimensional meadow that can be accessed from a single entrance on the plane from which the spell was cast. The entry point looks like a circle of toadstools enclosing a 10-foot square. Only those you designate can enter the meadow before you do, and the portal is shut and made invisible behind you when you enter. You can open it again from your own side at will. Once a visitor has passed through the entry point, they find themselves in an idyllic twilight meadow surrounded by an impassable grove of fruit and nut trees. The atmosphere is clean, fresh, and warm.
You can configure the meadow into any shape you desire, to the limit of the spell’s effect. The place is comfortable and temperate. The trees can provide enough food to sustain 4 people per caster level for a day. A staff of near-transparent animal or feylike servants (as many as two per caster level) wait upon all who enter. The servants function as unseen servant spells except that they are visible and can go anywhere in the meadow.
Since the place can be entered only through its special portal, outside conditions do not affect the meadow, nor do conditions inside it pass to the plane beyond.
So I'm not sure if I can let people in once I'm inside.
How about making a small cave, then? That should be well within Rogar's capabilities. Shift Earth allows him to move cubes of earth or unworked stone, and (I think?) the walls of where we're in is unworked stone. It should be fairly trivial to hollow out an area large enough for the ring, then close off the access.
That would work, Rogar.
Waiting to hear what you guys want to do next.
I am off work until next Thursday December 5th, so my posts may be sporadic until I return.
I think we’re just going to go fight the boss.
Wulfram will be casting some buffs first. I’ll post after I return home this evening, after cleaning the basement of my parents’ house (buyer takes possession on Sunday).
Wulfram memorized, and is casting Mass Bear's Endurance, so Karla might as well save her potions.
I'm sorry for going MIA. All I can say is I'm sorry, and depression sucks. I'll get caught up as quickly as I can.
Ready for the meeting with Arlantia!
I will be back at work tomorrow morning and will update then!
Glad to have you back, Eustoma. I hope things get better.
Anyone want to have more discussion with the crazy dryad? Rogar’s next action is going to be hitting her in the face with a very, very big rock.
DM: doing a bit of math, it looks like it’s just under 120 feet from the very edge of the chasm to the throne. Is that right? It’s a bit tricky to see for sure.
No, Wulfram was just trying to get her monologuing. :)
I think the Sardonyx Shard is what we have come for. Perhaps the hobgoblin can stay as Gendowyn's "guest" until our quest is complete.
You were also trying to seek allies against the Legion by recruiting Gendowyn and her Fey to the cause.
I will post in the gameplay thread tomorrow or Monday, busy weekend.
I will be out of town from 12/21-12/30. Updates will be sporadic until I return.
Do we level up?

Oh, right! You all should be level 16 now. I thought I had mentioned that earlier, sorry! :D
Level 16 Summary:
+17 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Fort, Ref
+1 CON (+16 HP)
+1 DR
Internal Buffer 3
Utility Talent: Stone Sculptor
Skills: Perception, Stealth, Acrobatics, Profession (stonemason), Knowledge (engineering, dungeoneering)
Nothing much this level, all told. As it stands, I'm very nearly hitting a plateau on damage. Still, Metal Blast only costs 1 Burn now, which means I might be able to fit it on the odd Quickened blast, but I'm not really anticipating any great jumps in my combat prowess at this point. As it stands, my Utility talent for this level is very delayed level-wise, but I do finally get to pick up an at-will Stone Shape, which might be useful.
Wulfram lvl 16 highlights:
+9 HP
+1 BAB
+2 Will (+1 from class and +1 from Wis increase)
+1 Wis
+1 1st lvl spell/day (from Wis increase)

Rogar, are you doing a division of the loot?
Note that Wulfram's new hex gives him Craft Wondrous Item, so he can make magic items for people. Any requests? I was thinking I could make an Aegis of Recovery for anyone who isn't using their amulet slot.
Eustoma also has Craft Magic Weapons and Armor. She can work on those if anyone wants me to give that a try.
She'll want to upgrade Sia and her armor and her weapon for sure.
Eustoma doesn't have a neck slot item.
Yeah, I’ll divide the loot this afternoon/evening when I finally get back to my computer (turns out traveling in the holidays and trying to see people is a lot more time-consuming than I anticipated).
Okay, I think the loot sheet should be updated now. I probably missed a thing or two, but most (or all) of the items are on the items are on the spreadsheet (though not with prices).
That... took a while. I knew the sheet was out of date. I didn't realize it hadn't been updated since May, though.
Karla, let me know which dignitary you are watching.
Still need checks from Eustoma and Rogar.
I suppose Wulfram could carry the farspear, to give him a better ranged option. It's not really that great for its value, but I don't like the idea of just selling a story item like that. If someone else thinks they will get good use out of it, by all means take it.
Other than that, I think we're ready to move on to the next day.
Still need Rogar's influence check.
You no longer take the -5 penalty on influence checks, Karla. :)
So, what's your plan?
Wulfram needs to get the material components for Commune. I suppose he could also memorize True Seeing, using a higher level spell slot (my practice has generally been to leave one spell slot open at each spell level). He could also memorize Detect Scrying, but doesn't have Zone of Truth on his spell list.
Wulfram has +7 Sense Motive (its not a class skill for Shamans).
