No problem...on a bit of holiday break anyway
ok, I should be good to go.
Welcome back Dura:) Feel free to adjust your action that I just posted...just a simple move in to get into place to attack with your mace next round.
Computer all fixed?
yeah, as long as I dont drop it again, it should be okay :)
I'll stick with the move, it's fine for now
Lol, my youngest would jump on my laptops when he was 4...man, that gold old quick
Sorry guys, I didn't adjust that encounter up enough it seems. Per the book, the dwarf was a haunt with 13 HP, and the skull did nothing, and he did only 1d6 damage. I thought that was bonkers, so I doubled the HP and damage, and made the skull a way to damage the haunt without having to use positive energy, holy water, or magic items.
If I had kept it at 13 HP, it would've been gone with 2 Channels from Z. I also doubled the number of skulls, and it was still a cake walk.
The party is a bit bigger now, but yeah..the dwarf shade was underwhelming. No other special abilities?
Nope, that was it....pretty disappointing. The party may get smaller soon, if the others don't come back.
I've read that having a cleric makes many of the Book 1 encounters too easy, while without one even the simplest can prove quite difficult. It sounds like it's a difficult balance to strike, so don't worry too much about it. I'm just grateful not to have been mind controlled :).
I've heard the same as Rufus.
Leeoli feels pretty useless against some of these foes without holy water. Skeletons, zombies, an ghosts don't give a whit about being poked by his mundane rapier but that is DR :)
Hey lets go find some things to kill. So close to a new level :)
Good thing there's 5 more books then! Plenty of time to kill you guys off:)
Indeed, let me know which way
Lol...just use that thing that blows up undead, Z! C'mon!
Yea, but Rufus doesn't know if it's ghosts or rats opening that lid, and wouldn't want Zazaria to waste precious channels :)
made me snort my chai back up.
Well Zaz carries a scroll of detect undead, I believe. Might be disappointing to find that there there is, in fact, an undead in the iron maiden. If I were Zaz, I'd probably channel, although I'm not sure how many more she has left.
She carries these:
scroll detect undead
scroll hide from undead
scroll protection from evil
The last is not a bad option generally.
I'd bet she'd channel - she has 5 left, I think. I'll go with that.
Nice twist.
Thanks for resolving the parry, Sub; forgot to add the text for that.
Superswamped at work. I've been working 15 hour days every day since the Monday before last...it will settle soon. I just had two empirical papers I needed to write like a year ago and have been putting over time on

Hi All,
I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. I'm sorry I have not posted for a while. Things got crazy work wise around Christmas and I neglected to update you all before i went away on leave. I've had no access to Internet (or even electricity) for the past couple of weeks, but I'm back now. Cheers!
Welcome back Vrilli! Now slice up that oozing undead hand!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Welcome back, Vrilli! It was great, and hope yours was too. You're even up...you can attack a huge hand and get sprayed with puss, or try and figure out why Kendra is stuck in an iron maiden
Well, since you put it so enticingly I'll have to go with the pus spray!
Forgot to add the bless in to Henrik, but it'd still have been a miss. Vrilli, you're all under a Bless spell right now, from Dura
I'd love to find a way to peel them off from the group, but there's no real good opportunity.
Zazaria, as if entranced, walks into the iron maiden to save Kendra. With a metallic clang, the torture device slams shut.
I think you just found one!
Lol...dangit...caught me
50 xp away. lol
U3,U5,U6 on the map. We've looking into each of these rooms? I don't remember looking into U3. I remember U5 and 6, but the GM's shape block is still covering the room.
You're right; just forgot to remove the block
U3 is the small office from which the flaming headed skeleton emerged; I was pretty sure you glanced in there on the way up to your fight with the Lopper
Just a head's up guys - I have a business trip next Tues - Fri. I'll try and keep up, but will be doing so by my phone, so maps and details will be a bit lacking.
Thanks!
The main point of Leeoli moving forward is to give more people room to attack. Actually I guessed it would be slow.guess Leeoli got.lucky.
Hi all
just popped in to say howdy! Hope you had a good holiday season. Sorry I've had to bail on you without much communication but hope you're all well and good.
Hi MrA!
Sure did, and hope you did as well! Hope things are steady for you...still busy like crazy?
Hmmm...life is stabilising a bit, after some herculean efforts! Family stuff and extra work has thrown me a bit (bizarre injuries to co-workers: one guy fractured his shoulder trying to get a cat out from under a chair). I also burnt my hand (not badly) on a stovetop, ow, duh. My brain is a bit less addled than pre-Christmas, though.
Good, glad to hear it!
That has to be the worst story to tell someone when asked "how'd you hurt your arm?"
Are you interested in diving back in, MrA? Either with Zazaria or a new character?
Hey ya Mr. a.
Ouch Leeoli at 6 hp now and grappled.
Yeah...that's what I get for beefing up the baddies
:) Its fine. It just shows how fragile is Leeoli. I should have spent something into Constitution.
Is the CMD 22 to escape grapple? That's going to be tough. I'm going to have to expend my last panache point and inspiration point to have a good chance of escaping. e.g. 1d20+8+1d6+1d6. Pretty useful those two pools are.
Yes sir, sure is. And, heck yeah they are
Man, completely forgot about the harrow card....nice!
Its funny how when one becomes desperate, one starts to remember things. :)
It was close though, because at 1d20+8, Leeoli succeeds only like 30% of the time.
Heck yea, what a great moment!
GM Nayr: speaking of Harrow cards, do I need to roll anything, or do I just play the card and automatically gain the effect of the card?
Nope, you're good Vrilli, just roll for the effect.
Sorry Rufus and Dura, but only the originals had Harrow cards. We didn't really use them, so I didn't continue with them. If its something we want to explore, it would add a kind of cool element to the adventure, so let me know.
Nice work this round guys...you may get past without being eaten yet. Dura/Daniel are up and then I'll roll for everything else.
GM Nayr: am I able to play the Harrow card to heal myself and also attempt to escape the grapple?
Vrilli - sorry for the wait, busy day. Let me know if you still need to try anything, now that the creature's dead. Z will be healing anyone who needs it, of course.
*wipes ooze digestive juices from face*
Hurray!!!
