To Buy: Ladder for the hole
To Buy: Sunrod to drop into the hole.
To Buy: (or craft) Scrolls of Burning Hands to purify cold spot room.
Is that a hole in the wall where the water is pooling? We can avoid the cold spot room by going around it for now.
Welcome back everyone. I hope you all had a good break and a good time over the holidays.
Yes, you could enter the room with the hole by coming in through the breaks in the wall. You would have to swim through the pond to get there.
Sick. Try and post tomorrow. Sorry.
Bot as required.
Get Well
Whoops - Sorry Brogol. I didn't check if anyone posted between me opening the page and making the post.
Guess Aduard is just a bit distracted. Maybe arachnophobia?
Haha, no worries - Brogol's perfectly OK being overlooked. He rather prefers it, actually.
Player can keep going, character wanted to turn back. He is not much use anymore, and isn't used to trusting in others.
What do you all think? The three remaining doors right here?
Sounds good to me - let's get this floor done, at least.
Sure
Was this the last room anyway?
Also, before Aduard bolts - does the clattering mean we're safe for now?
I think harmlessly means we are done with the irons.
Only one room left on this floor
...and no spells, or any other abilities to help if someone takes an unlucky crit.
I think we should call it a day while we're still alive.
Magic Weapon. Will actually last 2 minutes, but who's counting.
Yes! Thank you very much GM Alias :)
Alright Radag - your turn to shine.
I'm going to be out of country from 2-26 to 3-10, and probably won't have the opportunity to check email much. Please bot Brogol as needed. He's happy to be ordered about and put to use opening doors and carrying stuff and such.
Hi all - internet connection has died (it's just one damn thing after another at the moment). Posting from my phone is fine but intermittent.
Apologies. Should be back up in 5 working days, apparently.
Bot as required.
Ok, so we've got two people with spotty internet. And I'm going out of town next week for work, and probably won't have good internet access. So don't expect a lot of activity over the next week.
We're at a rest and recover point anyway. Radag and Aduard can finish arm wrestling over whether or not to retrieve the book. Otherwise, give me a general plan for what you guys want to do in town and over night, and I will get something up when I can.
At this point he could be convinced to leave without the book, and come back to read it in situ tomorrow. Going to be a lot of time with Radag sranding bored though ;)
That said, didn't someone already grab a hammer or something?
Aduard plans to take reasonable precautions with the book.
He's actually keen to store it on consecrated ground, which would mean convincing the church.
Do we have the resources to get a more thorough explanation of what the items do on the cursed end of things?
Radag will rest and try to harden his resolve with some weapons practice
@Radag: Sorry for the late response on your question. You guys do have the spirit board and planchette. The right question could offer some insight into the cursed items. Otherwise, you would need to dig into divination magic somehow.
I have the dumb.
We had a plan where Aduard would stock up on Burning Hands, and burn the Cold Spot out of existence (rather than just subduing it).
I believe we realised why that might not work, but I've lost it.
Should Aduard be stocking up on Burning Hands for a day of "rock up, burn the prison, go home early".

Hmm, was the plan to burn the haunt originally with the pews, but then we switched it to "do a lot of fire damage" because the we needed magical fire? I think the burning hands plan was the solution to the problem of the mundane fire not working.
I suppose we won't know until we try it.
We could just walk around it? It feels a waste of a day just to get rid of an easily ignored haunt.
Good point! We can always mop up the haunt after we've dealt with everything else.
Are we in a hurry?
Sure, we can come back for it later if people wanted. Our stated goal is to exorcise the whole thing though.
OOC once Aduard gets higher levels spells this'll be a lot easier.
Something about the Splatterman breaking free from the former prison guard captain's wife might be a time sensitive matter, so I'd say we are in a little bit of a hurry.
Agree with Radag on this - let's take the poltergeist and then get down to the lower levels. The cold haunt isn't going anywhere.
Oh, and don't forget. You have an upstairs level to deal with as well. Nasty things tend to dwell underground.
I think we would know we might not want to go underground and potentially leave stuff above us that could come down and block our way out.
Aduard's on 1 hp. Even with natural healing that puts him on about 2 or 3. He's okay to heal himself up, but it'll take a day or so and he's not going into harrowstone a hairs breadth from death.
Drop by the church and get some healing done? How much gold do we actually have?
Well according to my character sheet Radag is carrying 500gp. We can use that to heal you up, and it might be a good idea to split the remainder around just in case Radag falls into any bottomless pits. It would be a shame to lose all that money :P
I think GM Alias kept Wakati around for healing reasons, if I recall correctly?
Great, then let's go!
So. bust into the poltergeist room. Aduard hits Radag (if he makes his save) with magic weapon, Brogol (if he makes his save) attacks the creature with the axe, Dashil shoots or takes the magic weapon if Radag fails the save?
The level of fear isn't sufficient to make Radag drop his weapon, but the rest of that plan is legit.
Oh, I figure we'll wait to see if you run or not before Aduard casts - that way he can hit Dashil if she's not running and you are.
Ah, yes. I now see the orignal meaning. Sorry :)
Given it's a touch range spell, I'm willing to take the risk. Don't want to have to get into frontline combat and touch a wielded weapon.
Might be good to have someone spending an action cheering Radag on (ie Aid the save)
Where's a paladin when you need one... or a protection from evil spell
Can Aduard aid the save on his init?
Dashil has protection from evil - she'll cast it on Radag. Gives him a +2 AC boost, as well.
