Works for me.
As taking 10 on Spellcraft with the identify spell will let you know what the other two items are, you'll learn that you have a lesser silent metamagic rod and an incandescent blue sphere ioun stone.
What was that rock that I think Poog got earlier as a reward? Did we ever get that identified?
+2 wisdom ioun stone to Asha, can that stack with the headband?
You did not, because detect magic told you that it was non-magical. However, examining it again with the aid of the identify, Poog realizes that the rock has had a magic aura spell placed on it to mask the stone's true power. Poog, make me a Will save if you'd like to (officially) know what the rock does.
As for the ioun stone, both that and Asha's headband grant enhancement bonuses, so they don't stack. The advantage to the stone is that it offers a slotless bonus, which would free up that slot for something else. Unfortunately, the headband affects more than just Asha's Wisdom score, so it's a judgment call on her part whether she wants to use it or not.
Well, if Asha doesn't want it, we should give the ioun stone to Zakarras; the bonus to Perception will be useful for his archery, right?
If we don't have anything else to put in that slot for Asha (meaning it's a better Wisdom boost, because it can't be grabbed), maybe we should give the ioun stone to whomever's got the worst Will save, try to boost that?
Congrats, Poog! You see through the magic aura and identify the stone as a stone of luck. Feel free to openly add those numbers to your sheet now. :)
I think I did that a while ago. : )
DM, I'll be out of contact pretty much from Friday through Monday of this weekend.
That means Ellena will be out in Wrath of the Righteous. And Uraisa in Shattered Star as well.
I'll be back at it Monday afternoon.
Noted.
With the release of the ACG playtest, I thought I'd allow anyone that wanted to convert their character over to using the classes the option to do so. So if someone wanted to exchange some of their class levels for, I don't know, say, bloodrager, then I wouldn't have any problems with it.
:)
Just FYI, with Thanksgiving and Chanukah this week, I don't know how much posting I'll be doing between now and Saturday (games I'm not actually running are easier to keep up with, but even then I'll be on the road for a few days and visiting with family). I'm free and back home Saturday so expect to be able to post, but then don't know about Sunday. Monday I should be back to normal -- except I could have jury duty. :/
*laughs* I've checked the scores, and Grovaindel really does have a higher Intelligence score than Zakarras. ^^;
Background on the Bad Guys
Risha Coaltongue: We met her on the boat here, she watched me wrestle Chung Po, she watched our first bout, she avoided the poison at the restaurant the first night, along with the rest of the Four From Avistan, I think this is the only time we “see” her fight – she’s obviously got a lot of rogue going on, and is a dual-wielder as well as apparently being a pretty damned decent shot.
Darys Shrike:
He shows up in several of the above links as well, and nothing separate that I can find. He apparently favors a greataxe, but that was a really nasty volley from Zak, so it might not matter much at this point.
Mol Kor:
Half-orc cleric of Gorum. He did the race/feats of strength contest against me and Zarina, also went through the iron maidens challenge, and also shows up in several of the links from Risha as well. Favors the greasword (not surprising) and spiked full plate (likewise).
Pirin Agramont:
Half-elf sorcerer (?), fire elemental bloodline (??)
Poog chatted her up on the second night, got dropped fast in the fight against the ninja. (She’s also in a few of the other links above, but not identified by name.) We haven’t seen her fight, but “gank the mage” is rarely a poor plan.
Kaditula Ghadvhi:
My brother, and an agent of the Golden League. Human monk (probably), carries a spiked chain, has footwear-based teleportation.
The conversation we had is pretty much the only time he’s shown up in the thread so far. Sidebar: I’d guessed that the Four were working for the Aspis, but Kadi means they’re either all working for the League or the League and the Consortium are allied – which was, of course, the outcome we were hoping for the least.
Thanks, Asha. That's a big help!
Yep, that rules!
Just placing this here for my memory. After my recent casting of Fly, Zarina has the following spell slots left today: 3 1st, 1 2nd, and 1 3rd, and all of her fourth.
I'm figuring this fight's going to take a few rounds, so I'm going to try to set these folks up for some whammies. It'll take me three rounds or so, but then they'll be ripe for the pickin's (I hope). I'll be able to get two at once, so maybe try to focus on everyone else if they let you... : )
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE! ^^
May your holiday season be joyous and peaceful.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! ^^
*bump*?
It am a dramatic pause, Simon! :)
Huh. Whaddaya know. Maximum damage on a roll that may not take place if Mol Kor values honour over combat. ^^
Poog, congrats on making the Final 32! Awesome job...and good luck the rest of the way!
Thanks! Much appreciated (as would be any votes you guys want to throw my way). :)
Certainly! You will have my full support this season....
Being reminded when voting for each round opens would be great, though, if you are allowed to do that.
I think that's fair. :)
Congratulations, Mott! And good luck. ^^
Awesome! I'm in games with three of the top 32!
Sorry, little confuddled. ^^; Is it my turn again? And how far from me are the enemies, please?
It is, and they're basically right next to you. An adjustment will get you to either of them.
Hey guys, just wanted to remind you that the Superstar monsters will be revealed in a few hours. I'll certainly appreciate any votes you might care to throw my way. Thanks!
Got you, mott!
Ouch! Sorry, Asha. I think my Diplo roll is going to have an undesirable effect... >_<
I dunno - I kinda feel like he's already at Hostile. I don't know that you can make it any worse...
... So you want me to kick him in the giblets? ;)
Congrats, motteditor! Top 16 is pretty groovy!
Thanks! Gotta take the next step now, though. :)
Hey guys, Round 3 entries for Superstar are going up in a couple hours. I'd certainly appreciate any votes you care to throw my way. :)
Best of luck, Mott. :)
Guys, I'm going to have to beg your indulgence for a short while. I've had several very long work days (12+ hours) in a row, and this afternoon just as I was sitting down to update my PbPs my father called to tell me my mother is in the hospital. I'm not likely to worth anything for a day or two. Please bear with me and DMPC as needed.
Of course. Focus on what's important. I hope your mom's OK.
Well, I didn't really expect the eagle to place any solid hits. ^^ It's there for flanking duty, only.
Shame I missed, though. That was my last poison... I may have to try and find a source for some more. One that does not completely dishonour Simon in the eyes of all the Warriors' fans, that is. ;)
Yeah, I figured you wouldn't be too upset that your summoned eagle whiffed all three times.
^^ I expect Zarina and Asha to do much better because of its presence, though. Every +2 counts when fighting a high-level Ninja!
Summoning the eagle is actually a little nostalgic! Reminds me of a Serpent's Skull-battle, where my character just kept summoning eagles to fight a dretch and the mad witch who brought the demon in. Good times! ^^
The eagle's my go-to choice for summoned monsters for SMI, especially once you get Augment Summoning. They can actually tear things up a bit.
Oh, it is definitely the finest choice for SMI under most circumstances.
I'll pitch in a concept later today. Good luck with the game either way!
Thanks! ^_^ I hope this one will actually finish as planned. Having a pre/made AP may help.
