Wow, GM. I was just expecting to fill out my follower positions with Thing I and Thing II. You really go above and beyond. I often feel quite inadequate attempting to RP with the three of you. :D
Any word from Calamity?
I am simply wondering if we should reclaim magic items from her and to alter the loot split to a 4-way split instead of 5-way, so we can start figuring out purchases.
Go ahead and split it four ways. I will try to send Calamity another message.

In that case:
Victrix, do you want to take the Slippers of the Triton? A swim speed for you would be ideal. (The value of these slippers is obscene. They don't do anything to warrant the huge cost.)
I would still like the Headband, but it doesn't provide me with that much benefit, to be honest. I would be willing to sell it.
@GM is there a skill and language already associated with the headband?
The new split will be: 11,126.75. Don't spend it all in one place. :D
Remember, I can, if we take the time, work on crafting some of what I need now that I have all the materials for my tower.
I can do weapons, armor, and wondrous items
@Simon, there is not skill or language associated with it in the text. Feel free to pick them.
I am not sure Calamity will be coming back. Her player has been inactive in several games for several months now. Do you all want to recruit a new player, or just continue on with the three of you plus Simon's new cohort? I think you will be strong enough to face the coming challenges if you choose to go that route. Perhaps you could also bring another NPC of your choice along.
Sure, those Triton slippers would be nice.

I am happy continuing with just the three of us (with or without an NPC). I am also happy attempting to pick up a fourth, as long as we make sure we are looking for a reliable player first.
The cohort has Scribe Scroll and Craft Wand and comes in with a decent selection of healing/protection wands. We also have lots of party funds to craft more things, if there are specific healing needs we should look out for.
Maybe we should invest in some diamond dust for restorations and the like? A couple of Raise Dead type spells?
Yeah, as long as we have a way to access things like restoration and raise dead I'm good with just the three of us.
I'll be honest--this whole thing is making me more anxious than it really should.

Modifications I am making:
Let me know if any of this is not allowed.
Headband Skill: Knowledge(Local) Language: Aboleth
Bonus Formula: Arcane Eye
Purchased Formulae: (Assuming I need to pay the cost for a scroll)
Shadow Hands, Remove Curse, Fire Shield
I am also purchasing a Belt of Giant Strength and have reserved enough gold to either have Ema or the Locath add Inspired to my longspear.
That is all fine.
Why am I suddenly reminded of this?
Incidentally, has 'Gary' had anything to drink today?
I don't believe so...
A quick question for the GM: Would thicker walls to muffle noise cost extra for building a house?
Nah, not really.
I think I've gotten my loot copied over on the sheet now. Reorganized my personal section a bit so I can keep better track of what slots are in use. If you see any errors let me know. I already calculated my headband into my character sheet but it is still a number of days until it is ready at our current time (a week in fact).
Figure I'll let Brainiac deal with poor Eamond's reaction before I post anymore. The next one will likely be a doozy but I'll try not to let it go to far before giving a chance to react.

Again, I don't want to impose a course of action on the other members of the party, but I do want to hunt that thing down and destroy it (completing my Nemesis story).
I had some thoughts on how to use Valentin in that search and I am comfortable at least making the attempt at a search by ourselves.
The idea was to head out toward the center of the island and use the Helping Hand spell. If that demon is within five miles, the hand would rush out in that direction, and we would have a point of reference.
We would then move at an angle to the direction that the hand sped off for a couple of hours and then cast it again, providing a second point of reference that we could use to triangulate where the demon is lairing.
Of course, the spell does not seem to be dismissable, so it would know that someone is looking for it and might decide to follow the hand. Any number of things could go wrong, but it is the best idea I have come up with.
Anyway, once I had a point on the map, we would travel to that vicinity and Valentin could cast Locate Creature to find it more accurately.
BTW, replied to Antona.
Lol, I love how much my brain farts as a player create such dramatic RP scenes. The whole alchemist thing was a simple mistake where that was what I latched onto out of Simon's class. This has turned out great I think.
The devious little slut of a sister strikes again!
mwahAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Okay, serious question: did Simon invite any of us to go back to Zanas-Tahn for archaeology? Because I was under the impression that he wanted to do that with his own team.
Simon didn't invite anybody, I had Kip talk about it in case you wanted to confront him about that and maybe convince him to take you with him. Or just generate more drama. :D
|

Simon didn't ask and he's not going to. He's being defensive and over sensitive again.
It wasn't what I wanted to happen, but how the interactions played out. I don't want to hijack the thread though. Happy to wait out other interactions if you guys don't want to head over. I know Ema wants to remain to work on her magic items.
GM may have been giving us a nudge that splitting up the party isn't a great idea...
Perhaps. :D
Oh, I can easily screw with him if someone comes and tells me they want to go. I do have Teleport, we can get there before him.
Oh yeah, it was a bit of a trip wasn't it?
Oh you're going to be so happy to see your slutty spellcasting sister again aren't you Simon?
So, are Ema and Victrix going to try to join Simon? If not, I can run his scenes separately.
Fighting a cold today, probably won’t post till tomorrow.
That sucks. Hope everything gets better soon!
Likely holding off on a post til after work today, didn't end up with a good chance to do it yesterday.
Ack! No I don't have any underwater breathing. I have the ring of swimming still but other than that nothing. I realized I have a spell that removes the need for the ring as well. Touch of the Sea gives me a swim speed of 30 so I need to keep that prepared.

Well, I think Victrix should have the slippers.
Ema can take either the Pearl (which also grants a swim speed) or the Ioun Stone.
If Victrix still really wants that Ioun Stone, the Pearl of Power is basically a free 14 hour (28 hour with the extend rod) Water Breathing for Valentin, so no big deal.
The down side to the pearl is that it has to be held. Not sure if it can be affixed to a necklace or something like that.
Sure, I'll switch my ioun stone for the slippers.

I am having trouble figuring out how to react to what is going on.
We're adventuring with an immortal? What does that even mean? She's some kind of god who has built numerous civilizations over the course of time? She had a hand in every major event over the past ten thousand years, like Forrest Gump? I suppose she knew Aroden personally?
Oh she's not immortal anymore nor does she have the kind of knowledge and power she once did. I thought a lot of what I wrote up made sense for her to have done in her goal to unite everyone against the threat of the Veiled Masters.
I hope I didn't take it too far in the write up. Truthfully I never fully intended to have her regain her memories but it made sense as things progressed.
Correct.
I think we're waiting for Ema to share her recovered memories with Simon and Victrix.
Sorry, yesterday was a very rough day at work and I just didn't have the mental energy by the time I got home for much of anything.
Let me know how you plan on trying to track down the wihsaak!
|
|
Once everyone is ready, we will hike toward the center of the island.
I think that is near the observatory. From near the lake, Valentin will cast Helping Hand, specifying the wihsaak (Simon can give him a good physical description).
If there is a wihsaak within 5 miles, the hand will rush in that direction.
Simon will mark a line on a map.
We will then hike in a tangential direction for a couple of hours.
Valentin will cast Helping Hand again. Simon marks another line on the map. Where the lines intersect should be near the wihsaak's new lair.
We hike to the intersection and Valentin casts Locate Creature.
--------------------
Contingencies:
1. If the wihsaak is not within 5 miles:
- Is the island more than 10 miles across? We'll move so that the remainder of the island is in radius and try again.
- We'll move to the other island and try again.
2. If it is outside the range of Locate Creature (680ft), Valentin will Pearl of Power Helping Hand, then cast it again. We'll hike in that direction for the 70 minutes the spell lasts, then start looking for obvious places where it might hide.
3. If it decides to follow the Helping Hand back to us.... (if it is invisible, we would see the hand return)
- We Attack!
That is my best idea. Open to other suggestions.
Clever! I like it. :)
