Oh I wasn't worried about holding it per se myself, it was more of a technical question on the rules mechanics of it. That being said I don't need the mobility as much due to dimensional slide. Ioun Stone it is.
Ema is uo.
From what we know is this city a repurposed Azlanti city or one built by the people living there?
It was built by the aquatic elves and merfolk. It has no connection to the Azlanti that you are aware of.
Alrighty, that's what I needed to know.
Alright, so the elemenetal can't attempt to cut it's way free because it can only make slam attacks and trying to break the grapple likely won't work out well for it either. What other options does it have? Can it just deal damage from inside? Try to break out with a strength check?
It can try a CMB check to escape the grapple or just punch it from the inside. It can still deal damage even though it won't be able to cut its way out.
The latter seems the best bet then, well that or dismiss and re-summon it on the outside. Wouldn't that be aggravating.
*Worm*[b]"Didn't I just eat you?"
*Elemental* burbleBRBBLE!!! *slamslam* (translation elemental SMASH!)
So, can I still use my axe while swallowed?
You are effectively grappled, so you can only attack with a one-handed weapon. You can only cut yourself free with a light slashing or piercing weapon.
Waiting on somebody to respond to Oona's offer.
Yeah, I'm going to need some form of concealment at some point. We're at the portion of the game where AC alone isn't going to cut it.
A minor cloak of displacement might be a worthy investment.
Yeah, maybe Undertow'll have something like that. :)
Did we have a chance to heal before this?
Yes, it's been several hours since the last fight so I'd assume Valentin patched you up some.

He's also going to start casting Magic Vestment to give Simon and Victrix an additional +2 AC before planned dangerous excursions

I would also like to try and find a copy of shadow conjuration to put in my book. It isn't as high a priority but it does have it's uses.
You can find a scroll in the markets, Ema.
Will complete my level-up in the morning.

A Golembane Scarab for Victrix would be cheaper than getting an admantine weapon, but having a universal key is never a bad idea :)
I think I'll pick up a scroll of Disable Construct (if I don't already know that formula), I also found Eroding Ray, which is apparently on the Cleric spell list, so I'll have Valentin memorize that in a couple of slots once we get there.

+9 HP
+1 BaB: Now I get 3 attacks per round!

@Victrix Do you have any opinion about prepping for golems?
Maybe I worry too much, but I've lost too many characters to golems to take it lightly.
If you think the Golembane Scarab is the way to go, I think we can buy that out of the party fund.
--
Simon is going to purchase and translate a scroll of Disrupt Construct, but has no other preparations to make. I'll figure out prepared extracts/spells later and start making posts in the Gameplay thread.
I'd love a golembane scarab. And a cloak of minor displacement. But if we can only afford one of the two, the scarab's my choice for now.
Yeah, that's an Ema craft it item!
Ema is up!

Drat! According to Hero Lab, Magic Vestment doesn't work the way I thought it did.
I thought it increased the armor's bonus by +2, but it only increases it TO +2.
So, Simon only gets a +1 increase and Victrix gets nothing.
That being the case, I don't even know why the spell exists. It is inferior to Mage Armor and a 3rd level spell.
The trick is for when you get high enough level that the boost exceeds your current enhancement bonus. Basically get your armor, or weapon for magic weapon, a +1 enhancement then stack up on +9 of abilities. You then add Magic vestment/armor to the item to boost the AC attack/dmg bonus and have all of the extra abilities.
I will be on vacation from 6/13-6/21. During this time, my posting will be limited. Some days I will probably not be able to post at all. I'll catch up on everything again when I return.
It does not block charms but does give you the resistance bonus on saves.
Sounds good to me.
Eep.
What is it with baddies here? They've all had Vital Strike and hit for obscene amounts of damage... I really need some form of concealment if I'm going to be on the front line at this point!
Bet you're wishing you still had that improved uncanny dodge right about now huh? I'll get something up after work today.
Yeah. ;_;
Don't worry, I'll summon a tank to fill in for you for a bit, soon as I figure out what to summon anyway.
These happen to be fighter/rogues. The author of this module really likes Vital Strike though as almost all the NPCs have it. :(
I like Vital Strike too, it's great when faced with stiff DR or high ACs to make that first reliable hit hit harder. I just wish it wasn't so gimped and not able to be used as it is seems to me is intended. Namely with Spring Attack as it seems custom made to make that combat style more viable.
Ema and Victrix are still up!
Realized I didn't get a post up when I was going to sleep last night. Sorry about that.

Here is what I am thinking:
1. Resist Energy (Fire) for myself and Victrix
2. I (probably potion invisibly) sneak down the hallway and back looking for traps
3. Victrix, you want Long Arm?
4. I hand off some extract bottles, then polymorph into Calikang form
5. Valentin uses my Invisibility extract
6. Wand PvE on Victrix and Ema
7. Victrix uses potion of Invisibility, I use Greater Invisibility extract
8. Valentin Blessing of Fervor
9. We RUN down the hallway and start attacking
I never actually got told if either knowledge check gave information about what elements spirit nagas are know to use if any.
The plan makes sense to me, though we could do one better and I could simply dim door us all down there.
Also, has the ankylo gone home yet or is it still around? It's around for eleven minutes and 1 of that was used up casting prying eyes.
