She will buy two then and two more obscuring mist scrolls. Altogether equals to 1900 gp. I hope granny can convert the change to cash for us. Do we need to RP the sending?
Don't need to RP the sending. Sounds good, then.
I'm glad to see this dungeon trip return to life.
Me too!
Hope it stays that way.
Do we get our change back after our purchases?
Yes Granny sent your change back.
Cool.
Hope you don't mind me taking over for Zoltan until the player return. I need him to work together with Lenna to pull off whatever plan I have in mind.
Hmmm... What do you have in mind? It would probably be better if you let me know and I bot him accordingly.
Well, I want him to use scrolls that Lenna has to UMD or has to use at the same time when she is occupied depending our condition in combat.
Zoltan -> Always have a scroll out based on what the party needs the most.
If encounter too tough -> Read Obscuring Mist scroll on party
To distract a creature with high CR or mooks from distracting us -> Summon Monster II scroll
Help buffing -> Blur scroll
These are what I thought out at the moment. I might add more in the future.
Sure. You can tell Zoltan these things in character and I'll bot him accordingly, though I won't bot him omnisciently.
So does the party know any more about dragons?
We seem to have lost momentum badly.
If not, Lenna try out some stuff such as teleporting someone onto the dragon's back and let them clobber it until it is down. Since it is a flying creature, we should take it down first. If we leave it for too long and let them learn our patterns, it is going to be a real problem for us or our doom since our main attackers cannot reach it when it flies out of their reach.
On the plus side, Mira can now turn into a flying dimorphodon when needed.
Can she still retain her dps that her primary dino form has though?
She loses the talons but can still grow horns and claws with her rage powers, so she'll have four attacks instead of six. Otherwise the stats are the same.
This will definitely solve the out of reach problem for Mira. You should have Mira inform the party IC so that they can adjust the plan.
Yeah we did have quite the slow-down there for a while due to shopping, site outages, and level-up. But it sounds like we have a quorum for heading into the northeast room so I'll make that happen in a few minutes here. Back in business!
Getting thrust into battle and revealing our presence immediately is getting irksome because it messes with some of us who are about to post a post proposing a sneak attack. Next time, GM, can you wait a bit before moving us into the room or assumed that we are going in stealth (and buffed if we specify it)?
Yeah, that does seem reasonable given at least some of the party are stealthy.
Sure thing, Lenna. I was unsure what the party was planning but multiple people had said "Let's go to the northeast room" multiple times and I didn't want us to be waiting on me any more than necessary.
1. Do you want to have an understanding that you're stealthing ahead unless specified otherwise?
2. Or we can just have someone announce that "whenever we do go into that room, I want to precast something" or something along those lines. I knew you had plans but I didn't know what they were specifically.
Will some combination of 1 or 2 work for you? I'm afraid of vague waiting when I'm not sure whom I'm waiting on.
2. It's more like stealthing every time we are approaching near a new room or explored room if we spy some new enemies move into the room. Unless it is a straightforward battle which we will try to sneak attack them, we want to just stealth to gather information and retreat. If we know that it will be a challenging battle (like the dragon room), we will pre-buff before returning for a sneak attack. You can roll for our stealth check if it helps speed things up.
Oh ya. I forgot. Lenna healed Zoltan back then. He should be at 36 HP.
2 sounds good to me.
Btw, did Sunreturn use the teleport when he is moving? Lenna grants him and Mira teleport for this turn.
Ah, I missed that! I'll edit.
Ok so I'll assume that at least one of you is always stealthing ahead and not necessarily attacking right away. Who is/are the default stealther(s)? Lenna? How far away should I assume the rest of the party is? This makes a difference for perception distance modifiers for the enemies to hear the back row, etc.
Sunreturn will happily stay as far back as the stealthier people recommend.
I'm thinking 30' / within sight, as that gives us good odds of seeing if the front line is in trouble.
And Caster, could you remove Decimus from the character list? I accidentally posted as such in the gameplay thread.
Gotcha, Sunny. No worries.
In case you were wondering, I rolled a wisdom check for one of the other bloodrager kobolds to see if it attacked its ally back after the murderous command but he was too wise.
Cheers!
I like that idea, and think that's fair.
That is cool, Lenna. Thank you.
Yeah, Lenna will always be in default stealth mode. When spying, she will be in a safe distance to spy on the enemies where she can also inform the party via message without them overhearing. She will always hide behind a cover. Looks like she will have to be invisible the next fight and go full-time support mode for Mira, Sunreturn and Zoltan because of the casters and the dragon.
It's up to you guys whether or not that is the next fight. If the little kobolds had gotten away, they would have brought that fight into this one in a hurry. But Zoltan made sure that didn't happen.
Thank you, Zozo. :>
Not sure what do to now after Mira posted her actions first. Originally, the plan is to port Mira to deal with the kobold attacking Zoltan. I am going to need some time to think up an action.
Ah, my bad, I've been trying to wait on your performance before acting but I got a little eager. If you'd like you could always port Liz! She'd be hitting for 1d6+8 right now, but I don't trust her Acrobatics to get her past their reach.
You have to move her within her range but I am not sure if leaving the exit unguarded is safe.
Yeah, cheers Zoltan!
Sunny, don't forget to use your teleport.
I only just saw your reminder, but I did think of it. :)
People tends to forget her abilities so I need to keep reminding them. I really need to make "adjustments" for Mira in case she get a bit too eager again.
Fair! I sometimes forget my *own* PC's abilities after all.
I once played a level 10 dnd 3.5 cleric who was throwing around many buffs as was my job. In 3.5, the math is so rococo that whenever anyone in the party made an affected roll, I just held up my fingers for the total bonus given by me.
Oh yeah. 'Dweomerkeeper' has very warm associations for me.
You had good experience with that prestige class?
Very. I played an aasimar cleric of Mystra, going into dweomerkeeper. Had abilities such as using turn undead attempts into extending buffs normally lasting minutes into most of the day.
And making some of them undispellable. It's a shame I never got to try that class. DM outright bans it.
I am going to be travelling Sept 20-23. I might occasionally get to check in and post an update, but for the most part I will not be online. Please feel free to bot me using whatever disposable resources I have.
Cheers for the heads up Zoltan.
