Did someone order a new guy in an old guy body?
I have no idea what I am doing here.
Only thing not correct in my profile is spells. And that's because I have no idea what this group needs etc. I believe the profile pic is different, but that other one..ick.
Anyway, I'm not a slacker.
Methinks he doth protest too much. What say you all?
Verily.
We'll be introducing/reintroducing new-Ensu once you guys are on the road again.
I may be a little lax in posting for the next couple days -- busy day today, trip to NYC tomorrow and then I'm getting my eyes dilated (for the first time) Monday, so I don't know what effect that'll have.
Eye-dilation is fun, just turn down the brightness of your screen a touch and you should be fine.
I hope you're right. I don't know what I'm going to do for four or five hours if I can't kill time on the computer! I might have to be outside!
First time I had my eyes dilated, I didn't experience any issues. Lately though, I tend to not be able to see real well. Probably well enough to drive, but not so much for reading. The doctor can put some drops in to counteract but that's not guaranteed, IIRC.
Outside is worse, don't spend a lot of time in bright lights or you may hurt your eyes.
I ended up taking a good nap, which seemed to deal with the worst of it. My eyes were dry for the rest of the night, but all good now.

Looks good.
I have a meeting coming up in the next few minutes so I'll be slacking for a couple hours.
Slacker.
I am here, FYI.
I am having some issues with one of my ears. Last week and early this week I couldn't hear out of one. Found out some wax built up during my ear infection and it basically blocked my ear drum. Since then my ear hasn't lost the congestion it had it while I can hear, still pretty odd and disconcerting. Work has been awful.
Heh. This is going to take a while to write.
...
Why did I go along with this, again?
Think of the adventure!
Sorry guys, crazy moving weekend. Will be back to normal daytime posting tomorrow.
That's all right. Everyone else is off getting busy. It's just you and me hanging around camp, Pirknok. :)
I would just like to apologize if my big mouth gets us into trouble.
I don't really like this and i wish the wizard hadn't left...
I kind of feel like this has dragged on long enough.
You guys need to pull the trigger either way. Let Ventus go along with it or pick a fight.
Let’s give Ventus a chance to reply.
Or are you guys planning to murderhobo these witches with or without his permission?
I'll give Ventus a chance.
But I'm anticipating having to bust some heads before this is over.
I think we are going to murderhobo the crone and the mother and take the maid with us to be our cook. And we may have to murderhobo Ventus, or the Elf wizard. Nethys demands sacrifices!
Ready, feel free to advise me on which spells we might like to have prepared.
I'm no expert -- there's a reason I tend to not play spellcasters :) -- but disrupting weapon might be useful as a 5th-level pick if we're going to be facing a necromancer.
Divination and restoration can also be useful...
Should I focus on buffing spells? Or would you rather I fill in as a source of AoE damage?
Or perhaps a little of both?
My favorite wizard spell?
Fireball. To the face.
I'd say go with spells you think you want to play with. A little of both certainly sounds wise, though.
The ranger-general had snuck away to see his lover in the swamp for some midnight lovin’. The ogres knew about their relationship and a few of them captured him while the rest attacked the fort.
Ohh, I see... I'll have to edit my post.
Once we deal with these guys, I'll put some buffs on the party.
How many people can I "touch" in one round? For say example, protection from evil?
As many as you're adjacent to when you cast the spell.
Okay guys, Beaks cleared out all the bad rolls, you go to town on them.
Thanks, Birdy!
Everyone look this list over. Are my spells good/bad/wtf were you thinking?
Am I leaving too many spell slots open?
0 (4): Read Magic; light; Detect Magic; Create Water
1 (6+1): Shield(D); Obscuring Mist; Protection from Evil; Sanctuary; Shield of Faith; Protection from Chaos; empty
2 (6+1): Barkskin(D); Lesser Restoration; Lesser Restoration; Protection from Evil, Communal; Protection from Evil, Communal;empty
3 (4+1): Dispel Magic(D); Resist Energy, Communal; Summon Monster III; Prayer; Empty
4 (4+1): Explosive Runes(D); Summon Monster IV; Freedom of Movement; Blessing of Fervor; empty
5 (3+1): Spell Reistance(D); Breath of Life; Summon Monster V; empty
Pfft. Editing's for suckers. I only do it when I'm getting paid.
Oh, and FWIW, the spell list looks fine to me, Ensu.
Well I think tomorrow I might toss in some more offensive spells to bring some extra stuff during combat. Or figure out something to be a bit more of a threat in combat. Maybe a shield and a morning star and just eat th fact my damage will be bad, but flank is good.
Heading out of town to my grandmother's Thursday afternoon through sometime on Saturday. Happy 4th of July to all the people in the U. S. of A.
One of the things I want to start using is my runes. Basically, in addition to explosive runes, I have a spell rune that I can draw on the ground and it explodes when any creature wanders in. I am struggling to figure out how to warn you all without tipping off someone else. They last 10 rounds and I can do them 9 times a day and they don't do a ton of damage, but combined with a spell, they might be pretty cool.
any ideas?
The old Ensu tended to use them by being next to a big bad guy, stepping back, putting a rune down, and so "luring" the bad guys to step on them.
I can see that being valid when everyone is level 3 or so and the cleric can influence someone. Not sure how much of an influence the guy doing 1d6-2 is going to be versus the people doing 100s of points of damage potentially.
Perhaps I could lay them down as traps and we could influence the bad guy into them...
It's generally not the damage so much as it is "hey look at me, I'm the little squishy gnome right next to you, and I'm trying to escape! Oh no! Don't let me get away!"
Just FYI, this is a really busy week for me, so not sure what my posting rate will be like through Monday. It's easier to post in games I'm playing, rather than running, so I doubt I'll miss anything, but if I'm holding things up, please feel free to DMPC me.
This will be the final encounter for book three. I’ll be reporting it for PFS credit. If you’d like a chronicle, please make sure you include PFS info in your profile somewhere.
It occurs to me that I should get my hands on a lance at some point
How, exactly, is the earth elemental trying to kill me getting around? A fly spell?
From the ceiling of this chamber a humanoid shape of living stone emerges and then drifts through the air on unseen wings toward Siolad.
But, yes, a fly spell. =)
Okay, I feel kinda guilty for ruining that earth elemental's flight now.
I can just imagine it going "YAY! I NEVER get to do this at home! WOOHOO!" And then Siolad the killjoy comes by and says "Nope."
Great. Now I'm picturing a walking hill giving me puppy dog eyes as it floats back down to earth. XD
