I fixed Lluvia's inventory by removing the ring of deflection (2000 gp) and the cloak of elvenkind (2500 gp), which covers the exact difference of 4500 gp I spent too much.
Loosing one point of strength rends havoc with her stats:
She's now carrying a medium load => movement speed 20 feet.
She suffers -4 malus for attack rolls with her composite longbow because she does not have the minimal strength any more.
-1 on damage rolls with both with both rapier and longbow.
I am somewhat surprised that a 17 is enough to hit those...
I guess I'll have to bot Zaitherin
Could I have a description, please: What am I seeing?
"In the corner lay a puddle of slick liquid and the remains of a slain humanoid." was the most exhaustive description so far.
What race does it belong to, is a man or woman, what clothes does it wear, what does the face look like, how old was it, what obvious wounds does it have, if any, is the liquid blood or not and if so, is it already clotted. Obvious things for which one does not usually have to make a skill check.
Keep in mind that Lluvia has low-light vision - her seeing as better than a human's in half light has no trouble discerning colours. If the liquid was blood that would have been obvious to her.
My noun torch is helping my weak moral eyes ;)
One question:
Do the clothes in the messed up bedroom above us make sense for the young woman whose body we found?
In the front of the room
is a drying rack on which candles are hung while they cool. Broken and mangled, it sits in a circle drawn in blood and fat.
You mean the drying rack is "broken and mangled" and "sits" in said cirlce? Or is there a person?
"It" refers to the broken and mangled drying rack.
@Prae, there are 6 vats in the room, a summoning circle, as well as the chandelier (though it might be hard to hit since there's a 60ft ball of brilliant sunlight on top of it).
You could try aiding another, disabling the man, activating a spell or readying an action. You're not without options.
Difficult.
- If you have any ranged attacks, you can try to locate him by ear and if you manage to find the proper field you have a 50% chance to hit him despite full concealment.
- Alternatively you can try helping Dario and me with the worker
- or to try and save whatever is in the vat. Pushing the vats over might help.
- Or you could make sure that whatever ritual he's performing is spoiled - he did utter something that sounded like an invocation and I am somewhat concerned about the connection to the first world.
I am somewhat curious what Lord of the Light he's talking about. I am pretty certain that it isn't Sarenrae.
Plus you have Blind-Fighting, so you get to re-roll your miss chance if you fail the roll the first time.
Frat, how is Ilquis flying? Does he have wings?
He did "flutter" from the chandelier. He might be a pixie.
Yeah, you could destroy the summoning circle.
If he's got wings I might be able to bring him down to ground level next round... with a favorable miss chance roll.
@Prae, are you going to act or will I have to skip your turn?
If he's got wings I might be able to bring him down to ground level next round... with a favorable miss chance roll.
It's not just the miss chance. You need to figure out in which field he is before you have even of hitting him. Field is not a square in the plane in the given context, but a cube in space, since he can fly.
I'm aware of that. But the alternative is using Magic Missiles and Arcane Bolts til I run out of spell energy - which isn't likely to kill him unless he has a glass jaw. So unless we can lure him down by pissing him off, I don't see a better option at the moment.
Technically you can't cast a magic missile on a target you cannot see:
Some spells have a target or targets. You cast these spells on creatures or objects, as defined by the spell itself. You must be able to see or touch the target, and you must specifically choose that target. You do not have to select your target until you finish casting the spell.
GM FratManCy I have a thing I want to try since our foe is flying and invisible as I understand things. I am able to use the spell create water at a CL of four which would be 8 gallons of water. Could I space that out in the area we think that he is? If I hit him he would drip water and we could sort of see him. Would something like that work?
Just to make sure that it doesn't lead to a misunderstanding again: Lluvia is not necessarily looking for traps or hidden objects, she is looking for any clue as to what's going on here. I am just mentioning the circumstantial boni so they won't be forgotten if the apply.
Hey players, sorry for the lull! I'll be back to post relatively soon. I had undegone training for my job recently.
Politics aside, I hope the American players had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. I am understanding if posting becomes intermittent - you are entering the holiday season after all. In the case that people are unavailable, I will not bot missing players - honestly it's too much work on my end to track your things and my things xD.
I'm still here, but I'll be honest, my enthusiasm has waned. I spread myself a bit too thin during the PBP Gameday, and I think I need a measured break.
I'm still here.
Very well, Dario. I look forward for when you come back! And Hawkren, I thought you had disappeared!
Nope, I just haven't had anything substantial to add to the IC conversations so I've been quietly reading along.
I realize though that the RP sections of this adventure can be quite droll, but it's intended to be a mystery so player involvement is needed.
I am here just having issues finding anything to say.
