Is Logan locked in the cage? If so, I will take my turn to pick the lock or search a body for a key.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going on a week vacation. I should be able to post some, but wanted to let you know because the frequency will probably go down. I hate posting from my phone. I'll probably have a laptop and be able to get a post in during the evenings.

Zea looks to the others. "I think repeating ourselves is risky..." If they look ready to spring on the scrivenite, she'll follow suit. It'll just get sent home... We won't actually be killing it...
If this helps you sleep at night. But in this case it is not true. This is only true for the summon monster/nature's ally spells.

@Zea
Please sort your rolls in a way that is easier to read.
Either in one line
Stab: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
or if multi line
Stab: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
And for will saves in one row you can also add the modifiers in one row:
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

My players always try that closing your eyes crap on me too, Foxy. :D

I guess latest after that enemy caster closes his eyes and then laughs at them, they get healed of the attempts. :D
Party: Casts color spray.
Enemy: Rolls knowledge(arcana), "Close eyes!" the caster announces to all his minions and closes his eyes shortly.
Party: Casts stinking cloud.
Enemy: Rolls knowledge(arcana), "Hold breath." the wizard tells holds breath himself.
And at that point the party gets clubbed to death by a shitload of minions that are suddenly immune to most stuff that is not blasting.
Party: Cast phantasmal killer on wizard.
Enemy wizard: Smiles like Ray Charles behind his Peril Sensitive Sunglasses, he bought for 30 grand from Zaphod Beeblebrox.

I put myself on the map as well as the others in what seems a reasonable formation to me. If anyone doesn't want to be where I put them, feel free to move!

I don't think any of us have good aligned weapons. We had chaos-aligned weapons to fight the scrivenite, but that has ended by now (3 minute duration). I don't recall anyone using the wand prior to this battle, since we certainly weren't expecting Nox to show up like this. That was a pretty mean move but I am not complaining, just saying. But I could be wrong about the good-weapon thing, I was on vacation and didn't pay as much attention as I should have.

Aaaand found it:
[dice=Perception]1d20+4
Zea whispers to the other "Heal me up then let's go through the door to get Nox. Should we align our weapons to be good first?"
If we hurry we can keep Bless up, since that was 2 round of a 3 minute spell. So there will be 28 rds left. # wand castings is 3 rounds, Life link 1 round. so 24 rounds left of Bless
Fhingle Nods to Zea toching her with the wand.

I only want to say, that Zea has a good aligned weapon in hand.
And Fhingle has now a lot of jobs to do in parallel that he has no time for. Because at least Saul would need a good aligned weapon too. And Cassius could use some healing.
Or he stays down and stabilizes himself. Because if he gets up, the next stab might as well kill him, as long as Nox is in reach. As she is really pissed at him for stunning her last time.
| Zea of Kintargo |
Hey hey! Thanks for the reminder, GM! I forgot that my blackblade has my alignment. Yeah if we can protect Fhingle, he can heal himself to do with most of the damage being dished out.

To remove possible confusion. I quoted this stuff to say that Zea got one casting of alingn weapon on her blade to align it as good.
Zea's weapon also has an alignment of its own (because intelligent artifact), which matches that of Zea, but that doesn't make it good aligned when it comes to overcoming DR. If that were the case, then every one of you who is considered good could simply punch Nox in the face to stop her regeneration.

I gotcha. I just thought Zea's sword had something special about it. She found it and then we moved on so fast to get Nox that she never had a chance to explore it more thoroughly!
| Zea of Kintargo |
Hmm I'm not sure I agree. The wording of the align weapon spell seems to classify the alignment of a weapon as overcoming DR while an unarmed strike works differently. It just says that it grants an alignment to the weapon and the spell doesn't work if the weapon is already aligned. It also says that the spell doesn't work on unarmed strikes, suggesting those are understood to work differently than weapons. But it's certainly not clear so, as always, it's up to the judgment of the GM.
Benefits of sword: I can call it to teleport to my hand if we are disarmed for some reason. It grants me alrtness like a familiar. It has its own arcane pool i can use to give it small enhancements.
Downsides: It has its own ego and might fight me on something. I can't take a familiar. My own arcane pool is reduced. It costs an arcana.

For the life of me I can't remember to use our codenames. I do it once in a while and then I forget. Sometimes... in the same post!! Gah!
I am worse than Logan.
I was whispering when I slipped up, if that helps. :)

Damage Reduction (Ex or Su):
...
Some monsters are vulnerable to good-, evil-, chaotically, or lawfully aligned weapons. When a cleric casts align weapon, affected weapons might gain one or more of these properties, and certain magic weapons have these properties as well. A creature with an alignment subtype (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) can overcome this type of damage reduction with its natural weapons and weapons it wields as if the weapons or natural weapons had an alignment (or alignments) that matched the subtype(s) of the creature.
...
I think this clears that up. The blade, just as the characters has an alignment, but no alignment subtype. So no overcoming DR, but you can align it with "Align Weapon". But the blade would for sure try the will save if you try to aling it opposite to it's own alignment.
