does all Nisany's gear resized? And do I need to get rid of the racial trait, Etymologist, for getting linguists?
Your gear stays the same, unfortunately. Does that affect much, other than your armour?
You can keep Etymologist, since its clearly more about a cultural affinity for language than anything physical.
The cosmetic details of the change are entirely up to you.
No armor, no weapons, and technically no clothing. Mechanically the only gear that is still usable is the thieves tools.
Busy weekend. Im working on figuring out the negative levels. I loath the math part of negative levels!
I believe Nisany's mithral dagger was Medium, so that should be more usable than before. You've could also wear Pentosh's chain shirt.
Since you're all pretty beat up, and technically Nisany loses half of her remaining spells when she is brought back, now would be a good time to take a rest. There are no servants of Aeteperax save for a handful of grioths left in the monastery, the attention of which Azmur can deflect as necessary.
As a result, Azmur and Nisany have a couple of attempts each to identify the monk's belongings (which I assume they do successfully):
- amulet of mighty fists +1 (a loop of braided human hair)
- belt of giant strength +2 (a band of red silk)
The iron key bears faint auras of abjuration and divination, but has no other identifiable properties.
Honestly, in Pathfinder a negative level is just a -1 to most things but doesn't affect things like casting or channeling (in terms of spells you have), but your DC's are affected.

Also she shouldn't lose spells.
From Negative level definition:
"For each negative level a creature has, it takes a cumulative –1 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks. In addition, the creature reduces its current and total hit points by 5 for each negative level it possesses. The creature is also treated as one level lower for the purpose of level-dependent variables (such as spellcasting) for each negative level possessed. Spellcasters do not lose any prepared spells or slots as a result of negative levels."
It's not due to negative levels, but reincarnate specifically:
A character who died with spells prepared has a 50% chance of losing any given spell upon being reincarnated. A spellcasting creature that doesn’t prepare spells (such as a sorcerer) has a 50% chance of losing any given unused spell slot as if it had been used to cast a spell.
Ah! Yeah I guess it is a pretty traumatic experience
Resting sounds good to me.
@Everyone: I just looked through what's left of the dungeon, and I've got a proposition. Unless you're really hankering to go down there, I'd suggest that we skip the basement. If there's one section of this whole adventure worth glossing over, it's that one—it's just a generally underwhelming obstacle course with little in the way of actual loot. Unless there's an Iroran monk or scholar in the party, there's not much interesting content lore-wise, either.
That would leave us with just the Dark Window and the dragon's lair, to which Azmur can take you overland. Of course, if there's anything else left on the map you'd like to explore, that's entirely cool. I'd like to steer clear of the basement, though, for the sake of expediency.
Any thoughts?
@Syksy: By the way, you can assume either Nisany or Azmur properly identifies Wyrmsmite before or after your rest: it's a +2 dragonbane transformative greatsword.

Yay! I can use my class abilities now :3
I think skipping the basement is a great idea.
I concur
ye
So who's hurt and how badly? We should heal as close to full as possible before we move on.
Good point. I'm not doing so well. Syksy, how many good berries did you leave?
He gave me 12 so wanna split them halfsies?
Are we not resting?
You get a full night of rest, which restores 6 hit points. Azmur has some healing spells prepared (both cure spells and another casting of goodberry), which he can cast before you do. Nisany can roll a 50% chance to retain each her remaining slots, if she wants to cast them for healing before resting.
To be exact, Azmur has two cure light wounds (1d8+5 hit points each), two cure moderate wounds (2d8+8 hit points each), and one cure serious wounds (3d8+8 hit points) prepared. He produces another batch of goodberries. There is a maximum of 8 hit points you can heal from goodberries per 24 hours. They also fill you up, so no need to worry about food if you eat one. Divvy the spells and berries up as needed.
is high or low the ones that Nisany keeps?
Also I never deal with negative levels and have never gotten to use the Reincarnate spell. When do these effect fade?
Cause Nisany is going into the finaly stretch with 20 HP due to stats changing and the -5 hp from the negative level

High is good.

The negative levels are permanent, so they'll stick until removed with restoration or some other spell.
Is it the same with my remaining spell slots?
No, you regain them as you rest.
Ill hope we sleep before the dragon :)
So... We shouldn't jump through the window?
Ill hope we sleep before the dragon :)
Just to be perfectly clear, you have slept and currently have all your spell slots. We only needed to figure out what you'd lost to reincarnate so you could use those remaining slots for pre-rest healing.
So... We shouldn't jump through the window?
You're certainly free to try... ;P
@Everyone: Are you done healing? Once we hit initiative, it'll be too late.
Is everyone's statbar accurate? If so Bernard, you'll need a hell of a lot of healing before we go in.
Who'd hurt and how badly?
I understand now. Rolling my cures if people need more than the channels provided
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The two channels did 18 to everyone. We all should be at full HP

Nisany can were chainmail. This is the highest her AC has ever been!

Yeah, that should be more than enough.
Nisany can were chainmail. This is the highest her AC has ever been!
I believe it was a chain shirt, not chainmail.
Stat bar is now updated to correct hp.
So Nisany has 20 HP so as I understand it she is now staggared. Does the excess 4 count as lethal?

Unfortunately, I believe she is unconscious. And yes, any nonlethal damage in excess of your max HP is treated as lethal.
Yes, it's an enchantment effect. Dusk succeeds her save.
So is she at -4 cause unconscious or 16 and unconscious?
This isn't looking too good. How much danger do you think we're in, DM?

The latter.

It's definitely risky, but with three successful saves and with Bernard coming out of the confusion next round, things could be a lot worse. Azmur can get Nisany back on her feet.
Sorry had no internet for a day and a half and had to use my phone as a hotspot so my son could do schoolwork

If we survive this, I'm burning this $^#!^& place to the ground when we leave
I do want to point out that I'm using the nerfed version of this monster from Bestiary 5. Yes, the original (published in this module) was even worse.
Sorry, interpreted "You're up! Bernard is now free to act." as it being Bernard's turn.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Please bit Nisany. She is confused for a bit. If she can act normally she will prioritize healing before damage
I am packing and driving 11 hours tomorrow and probably 10 the next day. The chaos of all.if this has made focusing difficult. I meant to mention this earlier.. I might be able to do a post justice when I check into my hotel. And I'll be able to after I have settled in. I'm moving across the country to go live with my girlfriend :)
Yay!!! Have a safe trip!
Be safe! Moving is a hassle at the best of times.
A 20 hour drive took more out of me than I expected.
And that channel was lame!

Meanwhile, Azmur gets a better roll on his CMW than he did while casting CSW on Nisany. :P
@Vibenia: How's Dusk after the channel? She can retroactively take her actions for last round is she's back to positive HP.
Apparently Bernard really, really doesn't like this thing.
Huzzah! Down with the black window!
We're basically in the same situation as before the Window—please make sure you're all sufficiently healed, and let me know if there's anything you want to do before fighting the dragon. This is the end of the line.
How long will it take to get to the dragon? Will we have time to rest and get spells back?
