...AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!

Adding to Radag's equipment for record keeping purposes only. Not really taking right now and not being greedy.

2 fully stocked healer's kits
3 vials of antitoxin
2 vials of antiplague
3 doses of bloodblock
3 doses of smelling salts
2 vials of soothe syrup, and
4 potions of cure light wounds

Hey all,
my laptop just died. I'm on borrowed (computer) time right now.
Bot me if you need to, and I'll do my best.

Sorry for the delay. I was all set to post last night when I realized I needed to get a new map up, and I didn't have time for that. So it's done now. New map up top.

I think Dashil gets an AoO on her stirge as it enters her space to grapple her.

Actually, that's a good point. Think Radag's right.

Did Aduard cast?

Yes, he did. But he missed the attack roll.

Sorry, having crazy week. Will post as I can; bot as required.

Hmmm, can skellies coup de grace? That would seem to require a bit of mental adjucation beyond them.

Interesting point; I guess I've always played them as being full of negative energy and therefore life-hating - a CDG seems like a natural action for them to take against a helpless opponent. But it's true that they have zero Int as listed.

Staggered skellies certainly can't.

That is true, and much thanks for the relief! Dashil owes you.

Well, that's how I'm playing them now!

Good fight, GM Alias! I think we'll be thankful if we get out of this one in one piece!

Curious to know if this was the intended scene the creators wanted. I'm not sure whether to laugh or scream.

I think that's EXACTLY the reaction the creators wanted...

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I'm having a lot of fun. Remember, this is one of the five signature villains in the prison, so it's supposed to be tough.

Actually, if you hadn't taken care of the stirges in the mess hall already, they were supposed to join in on the fun.

That would NOT be good!

Yeah, I've seen stirges wipe parties alone.

Respect Stirges, man!

I ran a party where this one, epic, mythic character kept failing to Stirges. He'd one-shot BBEGs, then nearly die to some sort of stirge. Got to the point we started describing everything as stirges in order to make him worried - well and 'cos it was funny.
And thus vampires: half man, half stirge.

Same game where the tank kept getting attacked by swarms and people would hit him with Alchemist's fire. Thus this epic quote
"Don't worry, he's immune to fire."
"I'M NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE!"

Good stuff, GM! Glad you're having fun - I certainly am. Thanks for taking this campaign on.

Yep, stirges are terrifying. I think that's consensus!

To be honest, if stirges are the worst we face in the prison, I'll be very happy.

Uh, what about stirges and ghosts? And haunts... Curses?

I have just been called away with work to the other side of the world (like 8 time zones away). I'll be travelling today and will have intermittent access to internet.

I'll do what I can to keep posting, but apologies for any lag in dealing with things. I'll be there until 12 June or so. Sorry about this.

That sounds like an amazing opportunity. Hope it's someplace interesting.

Still around. Nothing to add. Radag is always up for more fighting. Not sure where casters are in their combat effectiveness at the moment. Curses aside.

Curses are bad, m'kay?
Aduard has 1 >0th spell left. He's injured, and cursed. We have no healing.
Let's go home.

So, what did happen with loot, in the end?

Apologies, I had a last minute out of country leave of absence and just got back from having not internet on my phone or by pc. I'll be playing catch up and rejoining as I catch up on all the posts.

I'll be travelling tomorrow to Texas for a job interview that will take me through Tuesday. It is nonstop from when I get off the plane, so please bot Brogol until I can jump back into things Wednesday.

Thank you!

Good luck Brogol

She narrows her eyes thoughtfully as she turns back to Radag Aduard. "Your 'curse' started from the time you picked up that accursed spellbook. Seems easy to me. Burn the spellbook, lift the curse." She shrugs. People over-complicate things. Assuming you count 'men' as 'people'.

Sorry, still jet lagged. Dumb mistake. Apologies for mixing the two of you up, not sure which one of you should be more offended... :-)

Oh, and Radag - I loved the "Wait, I've just realised I don't care." Made me laugh lots.

I'm here, just have nothing to add at the moment.

Everyone still here? Have we hit a summer lull, or is everyone just not sure what to contribute? If it's the latter, I'll give it a couple days then push things along.

Radag went off on his own and wont be seen again until back at the manor so, just waiting for the scene to progress.

I think Dashil and/or Brogol are going to say 'burn the book', and we'll burn the book and see what that does.
Then back to Kendra's to take a nap.

I'm here, unsure what Brogol would do to be honest. I think he'd just dither until given a little direction, as he's very differential to his elders.

Not that I have a vote from where Radag's at, but I think using the book on the splatterman in some fashion will be useful like the flute was for the piper. While I doubt burning the book to be an effective way to lift your curse, I don't think we should burn the book.

Look, I'm more worried about stalling the game.
Should we just rest up and head back curse-and-all?

^ Good point. I'll get us moving along then.

Sorry all - this is the first break I've had since 5 a.m. Friday, when it became clear that a majority of my fellow Brits were actually going to jump into the Abyss (and thanks for that, you cockwombles).

Looks like I'll have time this evening, if nothing else breaks. I'll try and post something then.

You have my sympathy.

Still some hope I like to think, good luck Dashil.

Cockwombles. I like that. I'll have to remember that for the US elections in November.

Sorry for letting things get bogged down. I will move us along. If there is something you want to do in town, go ahead and retcon it.

Currently in the process of dropping games left right and centre. Feel really bad about it, but it's clear that 'normal service' has left the building for the foreseeable future.

I'm going to cling on to this game, if I possibly can.

Sorry for the delay. I've had some internet issues, but things are all good now.

I am going out of town tomorrow, and will gone until the 13th. I won't have internet access. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves, and I will get a good solid post up once I am back.

It's not as if I particularly want to be doing this, you know."

True story: Dashil always wanted to be ... a lumberjack!

One of my favorite

Hi all,

Just to let you know that things have changed – yet again – but this time in a good way: as of tomorrow (Monday) I'm taking on a different set of responsibilities, which are more in line with what I want to do and will leave me with lots more time to do other stuff outside work.

Thanks for bearing with me over the last couple months, it's been fraught but it's now not my problem any longer. I look forward to getting back to doing some proper posting with you all!

@Dashil: Good to hear it.

Let's get to it, shall we?
