I will not be around much tomorrow so if I am holding things up, feel free to bot me as needed.
Utkroza is looking somewhat hurt, but Mohktar is in a worse state and Shikyo is at deaths door (stabilized). The party might want to consider a little focus fire on the main threat and buying some healing supplies, assuming you survive...
Have some faith.
One only as using a wand is a standard action.
I shall be travelling from Saturday for 1 week, I'm not expecting Internet while I'm away, so the game will be paused. The following two weeks I have jury duty and will not be able to post during the day, although I expect to be able to post during the evenings.
Ok, good luck with it.
Snowed under again at work. Will get a post up this evening.
Hey guys, let's get the ball rolling again. There is a temple of evil that needs taking down!
I'm going to be away during the day and expect not to be back before 21:00, Amsterdam timezone.
I probably wont be able to post tomorrow morning either.
Just wondering, how far into the module are we?
Half way through. The journey to Lechmugee will take a little while and then there is a dungeon crawl.
I will be going out of town June 3-7 and will have limited internet availability most likely so feel free to bot me during that time frame.
Anyone got any more inspiration for troubleshooting?
Sorry for my minimal posting the last few days, had a very long five days of work. I'll try and post something in the morning before I leave for, of all things, work again.
Hey gang. Busy weekend that wasn't planned and a Tuesday to match. I'm get caught up and posted by tomorrow.
Thanks for letting us know. I've been under a pretty heavy workload too.
Busy work days to say and tomorrow. I'll peep here a bit and get caught up. Consider Mohktar as having that poison contained in the apparatus used by the assassin. He'll then bound after Shiko to catch up to the group.
I'll be away on business Sat - Fri. I will have internet (not sure about on the plane, but for sure at the hotel) and I'll hope to post as normal but I might be a little slower than usual.

ok, conglomeration of info requested about vehicle mounted ballista.
Would say an elephant is the equivavlent of either a Keelboat or Longboat, both are the two smallest forms of ship listed in ship combat. Doesn't matter which you choose because they can both only have one siege engine attached.
The light ballista: This common type of ballista, also called an arbalest or scorpion, is size Large, maneuverable, and often mounted atop towers or even . Light ballistae have a hardness of 5 and 50 hit points. Light ballista bolts cost 10 gp each and weigh 10 pounds.
rolls when using a ballista, and a Small creature takes a –6 penalty. It takes a creature smaller than Large two full-round actions to reload the ballista after firing.
A ballista takes up a space 5 feet across.
A direct-fire weapon uses a normal attack roll, with the normal penalty for nonproficient use. In addition, a direct-fire weapon takes a –2 attack roll penalty per size category that the weapon is larger than the creature aiming it. Creatures that have ranks in Knowledge (engineering) or use a targeting platform (see below) are not adversely affected by their size when firing direct-fire ranged siege engines.
Sheer manpower can also reduce the penalties for size. Increasing the crew of these weapons by 1 or more can reduce the attack roll penalty for creature size: as long as an extra crew member is no smaller than three size categories smaller than the direct-fire weapon, it can reduce the penalty due to the aiming creature's size by 2. For example, a Huge ballista fired by a Medium creature that is part of a crew of two (the creature aiming the ballista and someone to help position it) takes only a –2 penalty on attack rolls.
Look like it would be beneficial, if the Thakur could provide a local who was proficient or even a master at operating the ballista.
Seems elephants are huge, according to d20.
So a large 'could' potentially be fixed onto a platform on its back.
Since we're speaking awesome, how about 'turrets' on an elephants back? Boxes with people in it, on either side of the elephant's back. :)
As in people with repeater crossbows, with rapid reload feats and such.
Humans/fighter (x-bow archetype):
Feats:
Lvl 1: EWP (repeating crossbow, heavy), PBS
Lvl 2: Rapid reload (repeating crossbow, heavy)
Lvl 3: Precise shot
Lvl 4: Rapid Shot
Lvl 5+: free choice
Thanks for looking that up. I'll say that yes we can get an elephant mounted ballista, but taking more than a couple of these might prove tricky logistically (you will likely need men and yes those may well be available, but please RP the recruitment).
Also you might want to go and buy some supplies? There is a day or so of game time before you set out and you are in a town that counts as a metropolis.

Alwyn would like to pick up about 4 potions of cats grace.
GM, would a Elixer of Elemental Resistance be available? I'm thinking it would be a nice pick up if it is. Especially for our resident 'tank' Mohktar
Otherwise I will spend funds on a second CMW wand, got a feeling the remaining 30 charges on the original might go quickly
My inexperience is showing, you say what do you want and looking through I go 'that and that sounds good, then again there's this or maybe I should take this...' I'm a big kid in the candy store without a clue what I probably really need. :-)
I know it was stated before but I can't seem to find it now but how much money have each of gotten from the loot sales at this point? Working on my purchases but not sure what I have to work with.
6000g each was the loot split. I think the party is low on healing. There are also various mid-low level buffs that might be useful.
One thing I'd like to pick up is:
Staff of Minor Arcana
8,000 gp
3x potions of Cure Serious 2250 gp
Total 10250 gp
If you want to rp this out let me know, but if you'd rather gloss over that for expediency sake that's fine too.
I'd like to purchase the javelins of lightning if they're available. I'm looking up other things right now...

Alwyn picks up the following:
Wand of CMW: 4500gp
Potion of Bladeguard (x3): 120gp
Weapon Blanch-Adamantine (x4): 400gp
Potion of Cats Grace (x2): 600gp
Arrows, cold iron (x60): 6gp
And 2 spring loaded wrist sheaths to store the wands <30gp
Remaining: 372gp
The blade guard is for Lilly, Shiyko, and Alwyn's swords when and if they go to confront a dragon.
The weapon blanches for Lilly and Shiyko if needed and to create some adamant in arrows when needed. 2 blanched would be good for 20 arrows.
Someone let me know if I'm outta my mind with these choices. It has been known to happen. For the most part they lean towards a little prep before a fight if possible
.

Alwyn, I think those are some smart purchases. Can't be too careful...
Ok, here's what I've got on tap (6,670 gp):
》1 Potion of Displacement 750 gp
》2 Potions of Enlarge Person 100 gp
》1 Potion of Bulls Strength 300 gp
》1 Potion of Darkvision 300 gp
》2 Javelins of Lightning 3,000 gp
》1 Potion of Spider Climb 300 gp
》2 Potions of Cure Serious Wounds 1,500 gp
-----------------------------------
Total Cost: 6,250 gp
@Pratavh do you have that much money to spare? Incidentally I think that staff is really rather overpriced for what is is. If you where to spend 4000g on scrolls (with a suitable CL) instead you could get the same abilities for less and I suspect they'd last till the end of the campaign.
@Alwyn looks fine to me.
@Mohktar awesome.
Modules are typically designed assuming you'll have a bunch of consumables like that on hand.
@Lilly, are you getting any potions or the likes?
Yes, i'll look into it.
Likely buff potions/scrolls.
Yeah, I do, with the money I didn't spend at start added to what I made so far I am golden. And yeah, scrolls would be easier, but not as thematic, plus I need a walking stick of some kind now, might as well get double duty out of it.
Sure thing then.
Sorry i haven't updated my purchase list.
2 potions of CSW 1500 gp
2 potion of mirror image 600gp
2 scrolls of murderous command 50gp
2 scrolls of shield of faith 50gp
2 scrolls of CMW 300 gp
1 scroll of summon monster IV 700gp
1 scroll of terrible remorse.
3 scrolls of weapon of awe (+2 to dmg, crits make struck enemy shaken) 450gp
1 scroll of resist energy, communal. 375 gp
1 potions of blistering invective 400gp
1 potion of eagle's splendor (+4 to cha) 400gp
1 potion of blur
5825 gp
Hey gang, just a head up that I'll be out of pocket this weekend. I'll try and keep up. For travel, my vote would be the long way. Shortcuts and large animals usually don't mix.
Some feedback would be useful. We seem to be loosing momentum, what can we do to restore it? What do you want more of?
My problem has to do with just getting distracted lately. I'm working on focusing better.
Been trying to keep up but I've had some significant changes at work along with elevated responsibilities in a podcast. I'll do my best to keep up. With Mohktar he remains quiet most of the time since he doesn't speak the language.
Hey guys,
I have drill this weekend so that means sparser posting, and then only in the evenings from my laptop in the hotel.
Thanks!
My ability to post the next two days is going to be very sparse, feel free to bot me if you need to.
A special zombie?
Super mummy maybe, those spiders would have drained him dry.
Make a Kn:Religion check to find out what it is.
