I will add a wish list post haste and will post a move tomorrow. I have a con this weekend and it is slowing me down.
Wishlist added. Be sure to take note of the last item on the list. ;)
Made an attempt at it. I'm terrible about gear planning however and will be more than happy with anything cool/interesting. :)
Sorry for the delay folks. We had a long weekend and I forgot to mention to the group that I would be out of town Fri-Mon. At least I got a break from work for a while! :)
Glad to have you back man!
Corentin, weren't you full after the last encounter?
I'll go back and double check. Maybe I missed a heal.
Looked through again and as far as I can tell 28 is my correct current total.
Ok, treasure post and next steps! The group will level to 6th after the clearing of the Vault of Thorns, so please make your updates accordingly.
Treasure from the vault!:
A silver morningstar with a head shaped like an rose in open bloom - (Corentin) - +1 Valiant Silver Morningstar
A sleek brown leather cloak embossed with feather shaped patterns and trimmed in brown and silver eagle feathers - (Jaghal) Eagle Cape
A small velvet pouch containing a miniature bronze griffon - (Gizsmith) Figurine of Wondrous Power, Bronze Griffon
A blackened steel greatsword with an adamantine pommel festooned with religious iconography depicting glorious images of the Lord in Iron - (Sasha) - "Gorum's Thorn" - +1 Keen Greatsword (Special Properties: When the wielder confirms a critical hit against any creature with the giant subtype, she can attempt to trip that target as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity and ignoring any size restrictions related to the target. If the trip attempt fails by 10 or more, the wielder is not knocked prone. (Note: If you'd rather this be a longsword that is fine. This is an actual special item from the AP and I didn't want to directly modify it if you were interested in it "as is")
Also in the vault are the following:
+1 ironwood breastplate, a +1 flaming scimitar, 10 +1 orc bane arrows, a single orc slaying arrow, a scroll of barkskin, a scroll of call lightning, a scroll of summon nature’s ally IV, a wand of flaming sphere (9 charges), a wand of greater magic fang (12 charges), an ironwood crown with a stylized thorn motif (worth 250 gp), a ceremonial gem-encrusted cudgel (worth 150 gp), 3 pp, 178 gp, 605 sp, and 2,125 cp.
Meanwhile, outside...
Szacha, keeping watch outside with Galor, sits and ponders all of the events since his arrival in Trunau and the long road that took him there. On a whim, he retrieves the old and battered violin that was left to him by his father, and begins to play a mournful tune upon its strings, recalling the memories of those he has lost and those in the future who might share the same fate. As he plays, the notes begin to ring with a clear and vibrant sound, and for a moment he feels as if everything is going to be ok, some of the sorrow from his heart lifted and a new sense of purpose filling his soul.
(The family violin has been enhanced by Szacha's experience and exposure to magical energies and forces. It now can act as a Harp of Shattering with the same benefits and restrictions as the associated magical item.)
Corentin should be updated now (stayed up way to late doing it so please forgive any silly errors). Speaking of which I realized I'd missed Resolute's 4th level upgrade. Should have things fixed now.
Cavalier level 6
+8 hp, +1 BaB, +6 Skill pts (Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Ride, Sense Motive, K:Religion, Perception), Bonus Feat : Weapon Focus(Morning Star), FC=Skill Point (Climb)
Resolute : +9 hp, +1 BaB, +1 Fort, Reflex, Will, +1 Skill (Acrobatics), +2 Natural Armor, +1 Str/Dex, +1 Bonus Trick(Fetch), Devotion
Sasha level 6:
BAB +1
All saves +1
+8 HP (5, +1 from FC Bonus, +2 from Con)
Teamwork Feat: Overwhelm
+8 Skill Points (Heal, Stealth, Survival, Perception, Spellcraft +2, Handle Animal, Ride)
+1 2nd level spell per day
I haven't decided the spell learned yet, but here's what I have so far:
Jaghal's 6th level: Oracle 6
HP: 53+1d8(5)+3con+1fc+1toughness= 63 total
+1 all saves
+1 BAB
+1 Cantrip known (Read Magic)
+1 3rd level spell known (Bestow Curse or Blessing of the Mole) + Cure Serious Wounds + Neutralize Poison (Life Mistery)
+1 2nd-level spell use per day
3+1 3rd-level spell use per day
+5 skills: Perception (3); Diplomacy; Bluff.
+1 3rd level spell known (Bestow Curse
Uh-oh...Jaghal is going to be THAT kind of deity ;)
You didn't see the half of it. You've never noticed his "cause fear" spell...
MUA HA HA HA!
I forgot to mention, I would like to swap my Lay of the Land for Spiritual Weapon, since I'm now back with the party and the hunter pretty much guides us in the proper direction. I can swap one spell on even levels, so I don't think that would be a problem, but it never hurts to ask.
Sorry for the delay, I'm a little swamped at the moment. I'll try to update Giz shortly and feel free to bot if I'm holding things up.
Giving Giz some time to get a handle on his update and post and we will be ready to roll along once more :)
+6 HP
+1 Know(arcana)
+1 Know(plane)
+1 Spellcraft
+3 UMD
2 spells: Displacement and Spiked Pit
Put the party loot on the Loot List.
I wanted to let you all know I'll be on vacation next week. I expect to have access so should still be posting but it might be a bit more sporadic than usual.
I'm going to be out of pocket today at work. Trying to get time this morning for a quick post before I leave.
Hi all,
Still digging out from being away last week. I'll try and get a post up tonight, tomorrow morning the latest. Sorry for the delay.
Hope you had a good vacation :)
I find that planning works better ooc:
If we rest, I have enough 2nd level spell slots to cast invisibility on everybody. It will only last 6 minutes though, and it will severely diminish Giz's ability to contribute to any fights inside.
Still doesn't help us get over the wall though.
Do we have a bead of fireball or anything to draw their attention elsewhere?
Sorry busy day at the office again. I'll get posting this afternoon.
Just making sure everyone is aware I'm just waiting on you all to finalize your plan. I'm ready to start throwing giants, ogres, and orcs at you as soon as you are ready! :P
So the plan is to some how get to the sewer pipe. Any ideas of how we are going to bypass the wooden wall?
Should someone create a distraction? Giz could summon his griffon cast invisibility on both of them. Fly in and summon a bunch of creatures to create a distraction on the opposite side of the camp. This would probably rouse the keep though.
Alternatively, we try to do this stealthily.
I think some provoking between the orcs would do the trick. You know, those we see in the movies, throw a rock at the back of an Ogre where there is another one pretending he did nothing? A fight would not be alarming, but would still be a distraction.
I agree with the idea of a "moderate" distraction. We don't need them going on full alert just moving away from the section we're interested in while we cross the moat. A brawl, small fire, local wildlife, etc.
Mage Hand is indeed close range. Perhaps we can cut off an Orc's head and throw it (eagle mode) near some camp with some kind of teasing word written in it, like "pussy" or traitor or whatever. You know, to instigate them against the others.
Come on folks. I know things slowed down a bit while everyone was making their plans, but lets try to all get back to 1 post per day at least. We shouldn't wait this long for in combat posts! :)
Thanks!
Poo covered and back in action :)
My bad, sorry, I'm worry with the arrangements for a graduation party today. Will get a post on later tn.
Sorry for not letting your plan work, Corentin!
I'm just glad we didn't get pooped on, though that would have been hilarious.
I wouldn't call it so much a plan as much as "Ah! We're 10 feet down a latrine and a giant is looking down at us...say something quick!" moment :)
I must say though that there's no way that giant had any idea what he was in for when he looked down that hole (so far a pair of spells, some crazy guy yelling at him and a halfling staring arrows into his eye :)
Guys,
I'll have family around here for the next two weeks, so please forgive me if I miss some days of posting. I'll try my best not to.
Notice to all, I am going to be away for GenCon and a pre-GenCon long weekend trip, and will not be posting from this Friday until August 9th when I return. Hopefully we can tie a bow around this combat before then and we will leave off at that point.
So kill this thing already! :)
Hopefully some of you all will be at GenCon this year and we can get a chance to meet up!
Since I'm away as well I figured that next week is an off week for the game. We will pick back up the following Tuesday once I am back and get my "Catch up day" at work out of the way.
I am back in town and ready to commence. I'll have a post up tomorrow morning!
Sadly my return looks like it will be delayed until tomorrow. I had no idea I'd be this buried after a week off, but its like everyone just stopped working and waited for me to get back. :/
No worries.
FYI, I will be away until Thursday, so feel free to bot Giz, if I am holding things up.
I'll also be quite busy helping my mom move in from another city, plus a few hearings I must attend this week, so if I delay the game for too long please bot me.
