DM Fang Dragon’s Ruins of Adventure (Inactive)

Game Master FangDragon

I am starting a new job today. After 4 months of recovery, I am excited and nervous...lol. My posting may slow until I get a steady schedule.
You're welcome...haha!

Good luck with the new job! :)

Yeah best wishes!

Another step in the road for a job as a rpg player! :P

Let me know if you're ready to move on.

I'll move us forward tomorrow if there's no posts.

I started writing a post but got distracted and now it's late, will finish it tomorrow.

I will be traveling this week. Posting may not happen for that time. Apologize but a family emergency.

Hope everyone's fine up there.

I think the 'no killing' clause is more directed towards protecting his men from the retribution of justice. If we do it in a way that exonerates them clearly, well... Not that Ishta is suddenly a murder hobbo taken over by the Flumefire, but sometimes, these things happen... *wink, wink*

It's come to my attention that the Google Slides app works rather well on android phones - you can edit and move stuff about (I've no idea if Slides has an iOS app).

Would you like me to switch over to using Slides? Ser Armithia would this work for you?

Slides would be better for me... then all the pictures are in one place rather than having to change the link each time.

I think the maps are fine, although most of my games do use Google Slides, so less chance of me messing them up.

I apologize. I am currently working 3am to noon shift, while still searching for a home.

I will catch up on all my games this weekend.

Thank you for your patience.

In case anyone is interested I'm recruiting for War For The Crown.

Thank you, FD. That one's too much of a social/intrigue AP for me, though, so I think it's wise to let those more interested fill the ranks.

You are? Weird, that I didn't see it...lol.

Traveling today, will try and post an update later.

Lets try this encounter with the theatre of the mind, if that doesn't work out I'll come up with a map.

Cool... I was just expressing that I didn't know whether it was going to affect Ishta. So, as long as it isn't going to get in her way, totally good.

El Ishta should be able to detect your silence, so she can move out of it. For now, her primary task is to cast Dispel on whatever needed. So it's okay.

Btw, who had the antidote?

Err... not sure?

Shall we say Kardas? Either Kardas or me, since Ser has to guard and you have to cast. If it is me, since I look like Varney I could order someone to give it to her, but I'd rather trust it to one of us. That okay with you Kardas?

I can help with diplomacy IF the dragon can see through the enchantment... otherwise, probably not me. The spell isn't a dismissible one, so I am Varney for 9 hours.

I assume Kardas has it.

I will be traveling Friday through next week. I may be a bit less active during that time.

Thanks!

Okay, guys... now's whe we all laugh... not.

Remember Ishta said she could teleport us all?

Apparently she can't.

Dimension Door can teleport YOU and ONE OTHER Medium creature FOR EVERY THREE caster levels. So according to my calculations, Ishta had CL 10 and an additional 2 from her Arcanist thing (burning reservoir), which totals 12 - that's 4 additional creatures: Azarra, Kardas, Ser and the Princess.

Only that Dimension Door is not an Evocation spell. So her CL is 9.

Yeah, I know xD Let's see how we get out of this one :P

Do you have a rendezvous location in mind for Azarra?

Ehh... me? Never. I'm as dumb as I can be and beyond.

I was hoping Ishta remembered something like "that dead fig tree we saw in the distance when we were coming close" or anything.

It should be something within a mile or so I guess, Enough to be close to our teleport radius and enough to pose a difficulty for Vera and the others to find us.

How about the Fireball Field... where they were having the fireball competition? We all wanted to go to that, so we know where it is. Is that close enough?

Sure why not.

I hope it's empty now, we don't really want to pop into the middle of a group that starts shouting "Wow! A group of strangers just teleported here!"

We should have internet tomorrow, although the new place needs everything, so still may be a bit of time yet.
Thank you for your patience.

My apologies for being somewhat slow these last few weeks. My body has been giving me hell and it drains me of so much energy. Fortunately, it's slowly getting better again.

Hope you feel well again soon! Anyway no worries the campaign is almost over now, once you've wrapped up here there's a beholder guarding the phylactery to fight followed by the lich itself!

I'm on a holiday trip to Vienna until Sunday and thus my posting will suffer. Sorry all.

Enjoy your trip!

So, my character doesn't know this yet because she hasn't tried the bow and she failed the identification roll, but I looked at the bow to add it to my sheet and I don't think she can actually draw it, since it is +2 strength. No big if we can find a way to add to her strength score (a new belt that adds strength and dex rather than just dex?), but right now she only has a 12 strength, so she technically can't quite draw it.

All right it's time to wrap things up here in the first world. Considering what you've achieved (and with a minimum of violence) I think it's fair to say you've passed this mythic trial!

Welcome to mythic tier 2!

Ah, ha ha... that solves it. Just have to choose Strength for my mythic tier. :)

Mythic tier 2:

+2 strength (everyone gets +2 to one ability score)

Amazing Initiative (everyone gets this)

2nd Tier Trickster Path Ability:

No One of Consequence (Ex)
Your mythic nature is a cloak that can shield you from the minds and memories of others. Creatures struggle to recognize you, recall your appearance, remember the nature of conversations they had with you, and recount the actions you took when you were in their presence. If a creature makes a deliberate attempt to recall details about time spent with you, it must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + your tier + your Charisma modifier) to recall anything beyond vague details. In addition, you’re under a permanent nondetection effect with a caster level equal to your character level plus your tier. You can end this effect at any time, and can resume it as a swift action.

^^hoping that gets me around the whole lich-can-predict-anything-we-do thing. :)

You know what they say, you're only as well hidden as the rest of the group is.

Alright, guys, I'm back, will take Sunday to attune to my old life and find a good excuse to not go to work tomorrow. Meanwhile I'll catch up with you.

Edit: I'm trying to find this in the rules, to no avail. Are spells cast from the staff able to be altered with metamagic?

In general, true, but if I have an individual trick up my sleeve, maybe they won't be able to tell.

I thought about a couple of other options, but this one seemed more thematic, and other things were awesome, but not so much useful since we are at the end of the adventure. :)

Re staves and metamagic, the CRB has this to say:

The modifications made by these feats only apply to spells cast directly by the feat user. A spellcaster can’t use a metamagic feat to alter a spell being cast from a wand, scroll, or other device.

So no you can't cast spells from a staff with metamagic, however the spells are cast with your caster level and the usual feats & class abilities affect that so it's still a pretty cool staff.

It's fine for the Chain Lighting, as I always wanted to use that spell. But my CL is not that good. Fireball is capped at 10 dice since it can't be meta'ed (that was mostly the point of my question). But it's a back up in case I spend all my spell slots and Mythic points (though I doubt I'll be alive by then :p).

Just wanted to check, that's all :)

I'll make a gameplay post tomorrow, I assume you want to retrace your steps to the beholder area?

I am almost certain we left a trail of breadcrumbs.

Hmmm I appear to have lost my copy of the sewers map :( That's a little frustrating. I lost a hard drive a while back and had to recover from backups /sigh.

Was it in Google docs?

Can't find it unfortunately in docs! I did delete a bunch of stuff to save space (got loads of photos uploaded), I don't recall deleting that map but maybe I did :(

Anyway I can make a new map but the layout will be different.

I may have forgotten he has boots of Speed! Speed 100' in full plate is pretty good...hehe!

Ser Armithia is ready. Champion 2 mythic
Took Extra Mythic Feat Power Attack

Goz Mask, check!

Smoke sticks x10, check!

Scroll of Unseen Servant to distribute the smoke sticks, check!
Ser Armithia will distract the beholder by striding next to it, striking twice, while the smoke sticks are distributed liberally about the cavern.
