If you don't have/want/need a google account then we can just create the dropbox one for Ozy - not a biggie. :)

For whatever reason everytime I try to change the share policy for slides I get an error. I will try again tomorrow but the map is currently updated on Dropbox at the moment.

Sorry things were crazy at work yesterday. Will get posts today.

[ooc]NP, weekend was busy for me! Obviously >.>

Fyi -we will be driving over the river and through the woods to grandmother s house the next two days. So Ozy and Dwalindor posts may be a bit slow...

No worries! I think it's safe to take Christmas off for this year guys, and Santa left some Winged Boots under the tree for all of you.

Or the gold equivalent if you have Winged Boots already.

Thank you!

Yes thanks and merry Christmas!!!

Thank you, and Merry Christmas!

Fyi -my son and fam (for Ozy) is driving cross country back home today so may not be able to post until tonight…

Happy New Years!!!! Be safe!

No worries, drive safe! Happy New Years to you all as well.

Dwalindor’s +5 celestial weapon should bypass any DR from fiendish template.

Same for shield archon’s weaponry.

Sadly, Tariq does not have aligned weapon so could wait for bless or any buff extra from casters.

Those wacky rangers and their thoughts about not having holy weapons.

Ozy had planned to resummon his eidolon dog - but that takes a minute and I am not sure if that happened before combat started. Since we do not see the dog on the map, will assume, the dog is not summoned.

Also, are the huge cloud things something we have seen before in the trenches or pyramid? I did not see a description.

I forgot to add. I think it's OK to put that dog on there, just let me know where. Also those two things are lightning elementals! They were always there, but you were busy talking to the sphinx.

Gotcha. Thanks. Dog is large size and probably best in back for now on Map

Just waiting for Ozy and then will bot Tariq and Dwalindor.

Apologies, went to sleep last night instead of taking a nap!

I believe Dwal spent all our money on ale and weapon upgrades.

While Tariq starts digging through his coin belt and trying to scare up the funds, Shad responds.

Our shaggy stout friend may have a point. If we search everywhere here, we may find more funds or clues to why we would need to engage the services of these boatmen and where we would actually need to go.

Not sure we are clear - or I am not - that we can tell them a destination

Did you mean to post these in play?

Oops - yep. :(

We may need to inventory our skills coverage. I think we have duplicates on things like survival and kn:religious but not history or some others.

Ok so not a total party kill (yet)

But few options….and we are going to a high school musical for our son, so will be late tonight before we can post.

Dwalindor is basically limited to rage/attack - trying to take out undead quickly

Assuming we have Noonan, Tariq and Shad all at -1 hp and Dwalindor, Ozy and Sheberus are sickened…
Our Goal is to get Noonan up this round and hope he can get others up.

Without cure spells, Ozy has a couple options

1) paddles: cast rage on Noonan and hope the extra hp allows him to channel or something.
2) MrScotti : cast plane shift to someplace else less hostile
3) summon archon… probably dies in wailing as soon as it arrives
4) run away… hope they don’t Pursue

For the visual imagery - I like the paddles option on Noonan but he may not like it.

CLEAR!

For the love of God, LIVE!

Paddles is fine with me.

No worries on posting, you're fine.

Yeah, this is a bad scene sadly. As an aside I don't really like "Save or Die" spells so you will always have an option in the unlikely event a series of failed saves kills all of you.

Except against the final boss - that's all or nothing!

I could channel or Word of Recall us away

Right - making that work like a 'harm' spell is a good balance without nerfing it too much. Banshees are hard enough without the extra mooks and water tactical defense.

If Noonan, Shad and Tariq were all killed by hp damage, then we definitely would have teleported away with their bodies.

I will roll Tariq and Shad attacks once Noonan decides. Channel was the first thought. But we have not dropped any yet...so...your call.

Ok, I think we're waiting on Dwalindor and Noonan's actions? And any offense by Shiberus/Ozy?

I have no idea if my posts are actually posting, will check again tomorrow.

Yep sorry. Dwalindor was kind of waiting on Noonan but will post as he may be waiting on me.

And GM I see what you are saying on posts…they disappear and then show up later…like Dwalindor just posted and his second post arrived before his first

Maddening!

I will have Ozy and shiberus post in the morning.

He was looking thru our past missions. I thought we recovered the lantern vs undead of some sort in the last book in the AP. Did we recover a tablet? That one I did not remember. Thanks

Life Lantern:

The life lantern appears as a large ankh made of gold with a polished sphere of sapphire fitted into its center. Held in one hand by a living bearer, the life lantern glows with a radiance equal to that of a sunrod. If the carrier is undead, the life lantern instead sheds an area of magical darkness akin to that exuded by a darkness spell.

The light or darkness exuded by a life lantern enhances certain elements of necromancy. In an area of light generated by a living carrier of a life lantern, dying creatures gain a +4 bonus on all Constitution checks to stabilize. More significantly, a body brought back to life via raise dead, resurrection, or any similar effect does not gain any negative levels upon being brought back, as long as the body is restored while it is illuminated by the life lantern’s light.

Once per year, the life lantern may be used by a living creature to cast resurrection on a creature by touching the life lantern to a portion of the dead creature’s body. When the life lantern sheds darkness in the hand of an undead creature, all undead creatures in that area of darkness gain fast healing 5. Once per week, the life lantern may be used by an undead creature to cast create greater undead.

The life lantern also functions as a holy or unholy symbol for a spellcaster who worships a deity who grants access to the domains of Death or Healing, and the spellcaster need not actually have those domains to use the lantern in this way.

Forgot I had this

LOL - I had forgotten too. Ozy saw it in the module blurb and asked what it was. :)

Ok so it will take a bit to level 3 characters

Are we doing wealth by level or limited to the treasure we found? Could we teleport to town and back for purchases or just powering forward to the next two pyramids?

Assume wealth by level since that's what we've been doing (although you won't leave anything). Going back to town is a little iffy.

You can just have the gear when you level up like this.

Lvl 16

+1 Wisdom
+7 HP
+1 Bab
+1 Fort/Will
+1 7th/8th level spell

2 skill points.

Level 16

+1 STR
+13 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Fort
Rage Power : Auspicious Mark
4 Skill points
Indomitable Will

... Going back to town is a little iffy.

So we can have the gear we found in the pyramid or we can make a purchase as if we were in town? Dwalindor does not need anything in particular but Tariq is definitely hurting for a good or adamantine weapon if he can get one.

Level 16 (ranger)
+1 Dex
+9 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Will

1st level spell

Evasion (improved)

16th Level - Occultist
+1 Int
+1 Will
+1 Fort

2 6th Level Spells
Balance of Suffering
Legend Lore

No, you can keep the gear you found in the pyramid and/or you can simply "purchase" up to WBL (i.e. if you have 95000 gp and should have 125000 simply add 30000gp of enhancements/new items to your gear).

You're in it to win it! Although you can sleep, leaving the tomb to go shopping is a bit iffy narratively.

Got it thanks :) - I thought that is what you were saying. Is this our last level before we meet Mr. Big?

WBL = 315,000 gp

Cloak of Resistance +5 (upgrade from +3) : 14K
+1 Holy Adamantine Aldori Sword : 21K
+2 Belt of Physical perfection upgrade : 54K

Tariq = 314k and pocket change.

Dwalindor

+5 cloak upgrade (from +4) : 9k
Instant Fortress : 55k

315,000 gp wealth

Instant Fortress? Now that is a splurge

Lol - never can be too safe. Especially in these neighborhoods we are entering

Ready to go

Almost Ready. Dwalindor updated. Tariq in work. Ozy is close. I do not have Occult Herolab for updates to Shad, though.
