I think you've killed the leftmost one. The others are very hurt. I'll do a better update later today.
@Choon: If you're waiting on anybody, I'm fairly certain that everyone has acted this round. I did some magic, Alathos and Salrann attacked, and Chu'ko started singing.
Sincerest apologies. I'm moving and haven't had much time. I'll update add soon add I am able
But thanks for the poke. I don't mind in the least
Sorry that took over a week to get up. My life has been crazy with both me and my parents moving. It's up now, so Forward!
@Choon: Would it be alright if I exchanged my Staff of the Master for some other gear that more recently came out? The recent Ultimate Equipment errata really nerfed the SotM, so I see no need to keep it. Unlike previous cases of errata goofing with our game, the Staff really isn't important to me or Eden's build.
I'm ok with that. What did they do to the staff?
Originally, when you cast any spell, in place of a higher level spell slot, you could use the charges of the Staff to apply one metamagic magic feat that you knew to said spell. It was a good pick for wizards because it basically allowed you to apply metamagic in a pinch like a spontaneous casters without having to dedicate a spell slot to it ahead of time.
For the purposes of this game, it was basically an emergency option.
After the nerfs, as opposed to any spell, you can only apply metamagic feats to spells that the Staff can cast, which are Ray of Enfeeblement, Spectral Hand, and Vampiric Touch. That really isn't worth 30,000 gp.
With what's waiting for you at lvl 20 in this thing, I'm ok with you keeping the pre-errata version.
Thank you. In that case, I'll keep it.
Does the "acidic" water actually cause Acid damage? I plan to assume my Troll form again, and I would like to know if my Regeneration (Sonic and Acid) would be shut down.
Indeed it would. :)
It probably isn't very in-character for a Neutral Good Eden to help an evil dragon, but you rarely get to take spells like Wish or Mage's Disjunction for a whirl. Consider it a side effect from having her skull crushed by freezing boulders and then her brain getting cooked via steam and acid within the last in-game hour.
Chu'ko, how harsh is the mind effecting immunity on you?
Ok. I wasn't sure how hard that hit your bardy playbook
In my experience, there are very few things that can't be solved by Hasted Power Attacking giants and good-aligned outsiders.
To all my games:
I will be leaving for a hunting trip (Moose in Alaska) tomorrow and will not be back to full online presence until the 19th or 20th. I will be flying all day tomorrow, so I will be able to post some, but not as normal. I will be completely out of contact from the 15th to the 18th.
@Choon: I wanted to bring some news to your attention.
It seems that Chu'ko's player KenderKin hasn't posted in almost two weeks, which is odd considering that he seems to have posted almost daily since early 2010. I looked it, and the most I found was this post:
Barnabus' player was planning to be unavailable for a short time, announced in a game that he runs. And he's never been a problem, anyway.
I'm sure he will be back and am confident you can proceed with your plans as though he had responded in the affirmative.
Barnabus is another alias that KenderKin uses. I'm not sure which game he posted that memo in.
I'm Back!
Thanks for that research, eden. Good to know.
Glad you're back! :)
I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon for a conference in Boston for several days, so my posting may be restricted through next Wednesday. Please bot me as necessary.
I'm returning from my conference tonight and will be available to post tomorrow. Unfortunately, I will be completely out of touch Friday through Sunday because I had a death in the family and will be going to a funeral and visiting family. Please continue to bot me as needed, and I apologize for this uncharacteristic lack of posting.
I'm going to be busy until Monday. Bot me as needed.

I'm very sorry for the delay in posting. Unfortunately I won't be able to continue my PBP games. I am in the process of moving back to the US from Canada, and likely wont be able to post regularly for 2+ months. I'm sorry that I could not leave at the end of the module, but life had other plans.
I want to thank everyone in the game, I have had a great time. I am sad to leave. I hope to possibly see you all again in future games once my life is back in order.
Sad times, Alathos.
Given that it's just me and Eden at this point, I'm fine with ending things here. It was a really fun ride to get to play at level 20 for a while, but my life has also gotten more busy than when we started, and I'm going to try to slowly cut down my PbP gaming a bit.
Well, we have one more challenging encounter. I'll hand wave the rest as one is readily dispatched by Eden and the other is easily nullified by Salrann's grapple. If you two want to fight that one out we can bring this to a close.
If Salrann is fine with fighting one last battle, then that sounds good to me.
@Salrann: Does that sound like something you want to do?
I'm in for one last battle to the death! :)
Ok! I'll get it typed up.
@Choon: Mind if I use some of that magical junk we have as tribute to a hire a Star Archon via Gate for the final battle? With Alathos out, we could use some extra muscle. My caster level is high enough to control the Archon, but the Gate spell also mentions payment, and it's not like we'll be doing much of anything with most of this loot we're getting.
Sure. Go for it. :)
Ready to rock when you are Choon.
Sorry. Something at work called me away for a bit. Typing it up now.
@Salrann: As I review my options, don't worry about needing to cast True Seeing this round. Since I got the caster with Glitterdust, their invisibility has effectively been neutralized.
@Eden: Yep, thanks. I'll actually be able to be useful, instead. :)
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a conference through Saturday, so you will likely see less posting from me this week than normal. Feel free to bot my character as needed!
With the pain you guys are putting out I don't really expect this to last much longer. :)
This ends our time together. Aug 1, 2014 to Dec 6, 2016. That's quite the run. Thanks for sticking with it. I'll miss you guys and your characters. Thanks for taking this trip with me and making it one of my better PbP experiences in all my years doing this.
See ya 'round.
It was a wonderful adventure from start to finish, Choon.
Before I make my final post, would you mind explaining what happened in the final post? After leaving, it looks like they had their minds wiped, but they remember the bulk of the Veil trip but seemingly not the Moon adventure.
Also, since Chu'ko and Alathos vanished from the narrative, I'm guessing that Eden and Salrann were the only survivors?
My intent is for Eden to teleport home to Abasalom and contemplate what to do next with her life. Being an immortal Level 20 wizard, the world is her oyster.
Select portions of their memories are gone as you describe, yes. Basically, they were left with just enough to justify their powers while removing any trace of that super secret storage vault. For security. :)
Really, the only reason I chose to delete the moon was it sounded nice in the post and gave a sence of the extent of the erasure.
Thank you so much Choon, it was a great game and I enjoyed it very much. I hope to play in another of your games in the future. :-D
Eden. Did you want to make a last post before I deactivate this?
I'll have it up later tonight.
(And that Aeon would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids!)
And so ends Eden's story for now. Thanks for a wonderful 2.5 years, Choon. It was a blast.
And so starts the quest of an immortal elf trying to fill in the mental blanks forced upon her by divine magic. :D
Thanks for the trip guys. It was a blast.
