I'm going to be eating dinner now; will make a post afterwards. Most likely there will be some waking of the Calikang in the future, unless Xerath's drop from the rope to the floor is as stealthy as Appario's was :)
Um... yeah...
Uhm...I do not like this thing at all,
I do not want this thing as a thrall,
This guy is way too tall,
I should be hiding behind a wall,
Oh, Abadar, please no more whacks,
I hope this thing doesn't have whirlwind attacks.
Soon you'll get a smack, that will turn you into a flapjack.
Then he'll flip, and he'll dip and into small piece you rip.
Wow. Looks like Duncan is going all Punisher on us!
Did you see the link above?
Yep! Very interesting. Clerics have a 4th level spell where you can bless everyone with special abilities, 'Blessing of Fervor' casting that on people and have them fill with red-hot passion would be an excellent buff.
Heh, exactly.
So who did you end up losing?
Well we were talking about buying out a brothel because the owner is a prat and maybe arranging an accident for him when Duncan,(Our inquisitor of vengeance) suddenly tells us he is using Alter Self to disguise himself and stab the heck out of the owner and run off.
So things might be getting difficult
Pre-meditated murder?
Sounds like heroics to me!
Oh good! Yahirma's random adoption of undead and rehabilitation of stranded planar entities is downright charity compared to pre-meditated murder.
/frets
Stabilize is a ranged spell, right?
BARD DOWN!
BARD DOWN!
Cut! Cut! Cut! End scene! End scene!
Stabilization should be coming up next round. I just want to try and slow down the enemy's damage output, as I don't stand a chance of healing people at the rate that it hurts us.
By the way, all hail Spell Penetration.
All hail the vital strike.
I feel like the rebel fleet going up against the death star.
Geezo.
I think I see Rocky's coach, Mickey, yelling from the corner, "Stick and move, Appario! Stick and move! Don't get caught in the corner!"
And Appario is now punch drunk and flailing.
Spell Penetration is pretty good. Especially when you hit the exact right number with it :)
The calikang is pretty dangerous. Perhaps too dangerous. We'll see.
So begins the battle of king kong vs godzilla!
Kick it's butt Maddok! Lucrezia and I want you to be our cowboy!
Reach-flanking is good :)
Very!
I'm pretty sure half of those attacks only hit because of the flank.
You're welcome.
LOL, thanks.
Any time.
It's on like Donkey Kong!
"Could have been the comeback kid
The southpaws' legend glove to fill
No shadow boxer but the one
A true contender for the crown
Now this punch drunk grinning soul
In its corner begs, no more "
Andrea and Lucrezia run in wearing only a few bits of jewelry to offer themselves as rewards to Derek and Appario. ;)
Good thing you included the jewelry; otherwise Appario might not be interested!
LOL, pretty much.

Lol. You had him with te jewelry, yep.
You've well earned both your shiny new 10th level, plus all the treasure to be found within the vault :)
Walcourt is originally for 10th-level characters, and the module assumes at least two trips, while you were 8th-level when you started and did it in two trips anyway!
And don't think I made it easy on you; I actually went slightly in the opposite direction because I thought you could handle it. You're a pretty resourceful group, after all ;)
10th level? Aww, you shouldn't have.
Right, so Derek will "undress" Andrea and Lucrezia and Appario will see to their..."wardrobe" yes?
Seems like a fair trade off.
And by the way, can I say that I feel completely justified in saving the sunbeam after all? Haha, victory!
Wow, 10th already!
They grow up so fast. =P
Yeah, but if I remember correctly, Are said we were going into adventure #5 while almost bypassing #4, so when we go back to take care of that, we may not earn a lot of experience for it.
Assuming things has not happened behind the scenes so fast that it will be a completely new ballgame...*Shivers*
You don't think I'll just put you into #4 with no changes accounting for the higher level, do you? The higher level was very much a part of the plan for the swap, since I felt that #4's plot deserved to have more "oomph", as it were :)
Suffice to say, it won't be a walk in the park!
It also fits much better story-wise with the swap.. doing #4 before #5 would have meant you'd have to put ending the shadowbeast threat on the backburner in order to handle something completely different. Which doesn't flow very well.
No complaints here!
I really enjoyed that last encounter. It felt suitably frantic for the finale to a storyarc.
Can we expedite the emptying of the vault? Otherwise I could foresee a week's worth of posts dedicated to just carting stuff out.
You know, about the vault...this IS a thieves guild right? Some of the stuff in there might be stolen property...well, most of it probably. We should consider returing any pieces too obvious to keep.
We might still be able to get a finders fee.
Expedition of the vault-emptying will come, but all in good time. We don't want to rob Appario of his moment of exultation! :)
Can we expedite the emptying of the vault? Otherwise I could foresee a week's worth of posts dedicated to just carting stuff out.
Wait! Wut? The vault is the best part! We should take our time with each and every item, carefully appraising and cataloging each piece in an orgy of auditing.
Yeah, not really Maddok's scene...
=P

Andrea thrusts two gold and diamond bosom 'caps' at Appario for him to take into his hands and carefully weigh to appraise the worth.
Perhaps he would like to bite to see if they are real?
Will go brood in the corner, avoiding both incoming orgies.
No late night accounting for Bluehood?
Maybe, just not into being a "Team Player" so to speak.
One of the things I appreciate the most about PBPs is the possibility to search for and/or go to old posts to see exactly what I wrote way back several months ago.. There's no such function for RL-games, unfortunately :/
Are, I don't know if you had something else planned but I was going to handle the actual destruction of the Aohl with Derek and Xerath.
Yeah, not really Maddok's scene...
=P
Broad swaths of this area were Yahirma's scene (from multiple undead foes to a chance to run a dramatic deception), so I am perfectly happy to indulge Appario some appraise checks and a Scrooge McDuck style dive into the vault of valuables.
I recommend against attempts to physically swim through the piles of coins.
Family Guy taught us that that was a bad idea.
Huh, I could have sworn that one of Abadar's domains granted [cleric level] rounds of celebratory coin-swimming per day...
