GM Rinaldo's Eyes of the Ten 2018 (Inactive)

Game Master The Great Rinaldo!

So whaddya think so far? A Force?

Absolutely.

I didn’t realize you had so many 5 and 6 level spells, Vladek.

I’ve gotta admit, I am not very familiar with the witch spell list, and so don’t have a lot of feedback on your spells.

I don’t have time to fill in my spell list in google slides right now, but my current spell list is on display under the Offense spoiler in Luisila’s profile.

Luisila is pretty offensive, so that makes sense.

:-) :-) :-)

@GM Rinaldo: I've got a much simpler background now; better?

Too be honest, not really. It's lighter, but it is still very busy, and does not provide enough contrast for the lettering above it.

That said, for me the best solution is still just to have each person maintain their list on their profiles, and just record active spells on the grid we set up for that. If having a slide for it helps you, do what works for you and your eyes. :-)

Fendahl, Myrdon + Marta, do you think you will use the stoneskin wand?

Or would another CMW wand (12 charges) be more useful?

Do we have diamond dust for possible restoration of lost levels?

I am still fussing with my spell list.

Stoneskin is so dang expensive, I refuse to buy or take the spell. having said that, it is a lifesaver in a tough battle and it would be lovely to have around.

Marta is buying the following:

@Luisilla, I am of like mind with Marta, it is a great spell, but I normally don't go for the stoneskin due to the cost. If you know when you will need it, then it can be a real life saver.

The lessor restorations are a good plan. I may have to think of a good set of scrolls for 2pp (I spent all Fendahl's cash, or planned to). Fendahl has far fewer spell slots than the rest of you, but the 4 wildshapes per day can make up for part of it.

I will say the 100gp diamond dust for restoration would be good (1000gp even better, but hope we don't need it)

OK, I am absolutely getting the stoneskin wand (5 charges) for 25xx odd gp (it’s on a chronicle sheet – I’ll check when I get home)

It’s definitely worth the cost if it can protect Kirrah, Aegis and Marta for a fight or two.

I am pretty much skint though. I think I’m down to 1.8gp! If someone can get a couple of hundred gp worth of diamond dust for restorations, that would be great!

On the lesser restoration front, I also have a scroll of 5 of those + 2 more in a wand. BUT they won’t replace negative levels. It takes restoration + diamond dust for that.

Purchases are done.

I am still agonizing over a couple of spell slots, but am otherwise ready for Part Two!

Fendahl purchased 200gp diamond dust for emergencies and is otherwise ready to go

Note: I am flying to Seattle on Sunday for business until Friday. So posts could be limited to late at night.

Linen pocket, meet molten gold: I spent 6 Prestige on a wand of lucky number and scrolls of spectral hand/speak with dead, learned several new spells, got a discount-wand of prayer and potion of neutralize poison out of my prior Chronicles, a Tourmaline Ioun Sphere, and a few other odds and ends...

*hugs wonderful new toy SOOOOO tightly!*

Whew, think I'm done with shopping. Had 30+k!

Good selections. Metal DR is definitely an issue for Kirrah. Fendahl is swapping in another Atavism spell. That worked really well for Aegis. I like it better than animal growth actually.

Valdek, you can only spend 2PP for a 750gp purchase once per chronicle.

scroll of heart of the metal (adamantium) - more effective than you guys getting individual oils, since I can affect 12 weapons

A scroll of HotM would be at caster level 5, so would only affect 5 weapons (unless you are talking about using with with a mnemonic vestment?)

Ah, you're right. I'm thinking of my own caster level. So how many weapons do we have? Hmm, tricky thing then is that each of the animal companions have 3 separate weapons - 1 bite and 2 claws. So a typical casting would go to Fendahl and Marta, and the rest to the ACs. Does Luisila go into melee?

Fendahl’s Katana is +3 so it counts as silver or cold iron. If he needs adamantium he switches weapons. So Kirrah would benefit more from it than he. The oil of bless weapon helps more as he does not have a good spells to beat alignment DR, so he carries 2 oils

Vladek, you can only spend 2PP for a 750gp purchase once per chronicle.

Well, darn my socks; I never knew that.

Forget those scrolls, then.

Does Luisila go into melee?

She can. But it’s generally only be a decoy target, to provide a flank or aid another melee. I wouldn’t waste any melee buffs on Luisila – her melee damage output is pathetic.

I think scrolls of freedom of movement and/or life bubble are a good choice.

Yeah, everyone it's easy to miss in the Guide, and when people tell new players about the 2PP rule, they tend to leave that part out.

(For reference, it is on page 22 of the current guide, in footnote 3 on the Prestige Costs table).

For what it's worth, the fact that the 1PP for 150gp and 2PP for 750gp are on different lines might imply you can do each of them once per session, and if there were something of up to 150gp you wanted to buy with 1PP, I'd be fine with that.

Are we close to ready to begin part 2?

Ready!

Ready

Ready. Still want to get a couple of scrolls but that shouldn't hold things up.

Any Time (said the chronomancer)....

Ready. Still want to get a couple of scrolls but that shouldn't hold things up.

Actually it does. I need you to have all shopping done before I start the next part.

Ok done. Bought a scroll of freedom of movement, and scroll of life bubble.

@Luisila: One qualm: Your spell selection includes defending bone - trouble is, that spell is exclusive to Pharasmins - which you, of course, are not.

Calistrian Clerics DO get the following exclusive spells, for what it's worth: Secret speech, seducer's eyes, and vengeful stinger.

Hi Valdek,

This quote from Michael Brock (head of PFS at the time) indicates defending bone is legal for a cleric of Calistria.

The following post from RainyDay Ninja gives the perfect example of the law put into practise :)

*nods*

Good to know - all this time I'd been restricting my characters in that regard. Vladek himself could have learned that spell!

Just to get things sorted out in my brain:
1) Kyalla came into the maze with a naga and was ambushed. Did she durvive?
2) The medusae that was the guardian of the maze was killed, right?

After you freed her from the mind control, Kyalla left the maze via the Woodsedge gate and has gone on about her business.

The medusa in the maze did die.

Vladek, I am a huge fan of the Lucky Number spell, and absolutely love your description of the wand. :-)

You'll notice, if you follow my adventures with this and other characters, I have a standing habit of describing every wand every character of mine has.

And yes - what better spell to get a 2-Prestige wand for??? I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner than I did (it was with my Arcane Archer-aspirant here that I first hit on it).

I made up a sheet of slips that I cut apart and hand out to everyone at my table when I use it that describes the spell, and has a big "Your lucky number is _________ !" at the top. :-)

✂----------------------------------------------------✂

Luisila’s Lucky Number is 12!

✂----------------------------------------------------✂

For the record, I do have a divination spell prepared. I can cast it whenever the Time is right.

Now if you only had TWO prepared you could have the first one tell you when the time is right to cast the second one.

Or is that like wishing for more wishes? Ok, never mind :-)

Fendahl, do you think Marta could exchange a casting of Heroism on one of your characters for a casting of Barkskin on Marta? Not right now, but when it looks like we are going to get into a big fight.

Gladly. Although Fendahl already cast both of his barkskins on self and Kirrah. If there is a spare pearl-2 laying around, he can recast it.

You can use Luisila's pearl-2 if you like ;)

I'd like some of that Resist Energy 30 (cold) action, please Fendahl!

That would be great. I'll have you use a charge on my rod of extend on that barkskin too. Now we just have to arrange things IC.

Forgive me if I'm lagging behind; I've been a tad confused about what's going on right now.

Is the "Buff Tracking" slide correct for everyone?

Luisila's buffs are correct!

Is the "Buff Tracking" slide correct for everyone?

It's questions like that that make me want to add a buff, but I'm sticking to what I've got. Don't make me regret not casting Freedom of Movement!

hehehehe :-)

Looks fine to me.

*prrrrrrrrrr*

Yes, until one of us is disintegrated then we may have cause to remember something we forgot to add. :)
