Aw hell. I forgot about that. It's ok, I got this. That backstory still works with this one.

I will be traveling for the holidays and posting may be sporadic until the new year. Bot if needed - you should have a handle on how "Briza" approaches problems!

Hey guys as we're hitting the holidays you'll notice that my posts are a little irregular. I'm going to just say that I'm on part-time GM duty until the new year - so I'll post, but only when I get around to it ;) Thanks folks, and enjoy the holidays!
Happy holidays to all!
Cheers everyone, hope we all can get some good R&R.
Yep. Merry Christmas all.
Merry Christmas!
Sorry guys no post today.
fyi, I'll be away from the 6th to the 13th - have fun without me!
Annd no post again. I'm feeling like hell but I'll get on top of things as soon as I'm better. thanks for your patience.
No worries - drink a potion of cure disease and feel better soon!
Crud, I posted the blurb on telepathy in the wrong thread. Sorry about that.
It occurs to me that we might be missing chances to be interacting with the other servants and those lower than us in station. Might we be able to gather information from the drow we are interacting with?
I was just thinking that Besh would likely be more comfortable speaking with other servants, or with some of the slaves.
Are any of those in or near the Audience Hall?

Right. But also Gather information is a diplomacy roll and we got Zoso for that. :)
lol - yeah, if it isn't Knowledge Arcana, Planes, or Spellcraft/UMD, there's not much point asking Besh about it :P
Mysteries and the like often go flat in PbP so I'll push you to pursue ANYTHING you think is interesting. Some ideas:
- Talking to servants
- Talking to driders (they are sentient beings fully capable of speech, just weird, and Vonnarc has lots of them)
- Finding out more relevant information about the missing driders - the Paingiver is only going to know so much
- Identifying and searching other areas of interest
- Anything you think of
Fully support the notion of talking to the servants, wasn't sure how prolific they were in this room but Zoso will absolutely move onto them once he's done with the Driders.
Check check, this thing on?
Yes?
Unsure how to help. Waiting for us to move on.
Beshtori is hilariously bad at being a Drow. It's adorable.
absolutely! but then, high anxiety / low wisdom would not have ever survived drow society. Let's just make sure ze doesn't end up dead (or worshipping Rovagug - it could go either way)
Since Buff spells often get lost in the shuffle of PbP games, I'm going to post here when I buff the party too so no one forgets.
Good call.
Hey gang, I will be away until Saturday with no internet access - please bot as needed.
Thanks for the catch on countersong. It comes up once every decade, heh.
Hi!
I'm Vex and I'll be tracking your damage today.
On Lyr's action, Brenna healed 5 damage, which was distributed to Lyr and Vex. Here's the current totals.
Lyr -3
Vex -2
Brenna -7
Saphren -0
Zoso -0
Besh -0
I am leaving for a 10 day trip tomorrow. My posting will be limited to shorter posts from an iPad and likely only in the evenings. Please bot me if I get behind. I travel home on the 17th and should be back to normal on the 18th.
End Combat Damage Tally-
Lyr -6
Vex -4 (healed by fast heal in 4 rounds)
Brenna -2
Saphren -0
Zoso -0
Besh -0
GM, can I get a description of any magical auras present on the drow, and a timescale of how long it takes them to get where they are going? I want to know how much of their stuff I might reasonably be able to swipe.
I leave for New York City around noon tomorrow and from there will leave for 11 days in China on Wednesday. I will be back late on Saturday April 7 and begin to catch up on April 8th. And yes I know I just got back from a trip.
I will have an iPad with me (better than posting from a phone) and should have internet most of the time but there are three days that are remote so I am almost sure I will not have internet all the time. I will do my best to post some but please both me instead of waiting for me. This is my last trip longer than a long weekend I have planned for the entire year.
Sounds fun!
@Vex
The Drashes aren't very big - they moved for around three minutes.
You can spam sleight of hand checks, but I'll limit you to one per drow before Vex incurs some hefty penalties since you can't reasonably pick someone's pocket until they're naked without them noticing.
There are eight drow in total. Each one has a magical potion.
Four have magical wands.
Two have a quarrel with magical hand crossbow bolts.
One has a magical cloak and ring.
One has a scroll case with magical things inside of it.

Sounds like a good way of handling it.
This is my understanding of the equipment spread. Do I have that right?
1. Potion, wand (already stolen)
2. Potion, wand
3. Potion, wand
4. Potion, wand
5. Potion, quiver w/ magic bolts
6. Potion, quiver w/ magic bolts
7. Potion, cloak, ring
8. Potion, scroll case
Yep!
I think the cloak is too big and obvious for a little dragon, and stealing a ring seems like it would be stupidly hard. I want them, but I don't think I want to take that risk.
Let's start there and see if they catch me. I'll roll the rest if this doesn't devolve into a chase scene.
Welcome to Little Dragon Magic Mart, your home for all the best very recently owned magic items! Come one, come all, pick your favorite slightly used treasures!
- Wand of false life (12 charges)
- Wand of mirror image (22 charges)
- Scroll of invisibility
- Scroll of fly
- Scroll of comprehend languages
- +1 quarrels x14
- drow poison quarrels x6
We can potentiallly share the wand of false life as it’s a 30 minutes buff. Saphren can use UMB to try to activate a wand. I’ll start building that skill up with his next level.
Oh, I hadn't realized it had such a long duration.
Well, Besh is happy to carry wands around, so long as that's the best use for them.
False Life is surprisingly good. Lyr casts it frequently (it's better cast than from an item, so she doesn't need the wand)
That Mirror Image wand would be awesome for Saphren. You have a +7 now. That's almost enough to Take 10 to activate. A wonderous item that adds +5 to UMD should be 2000 gp (same price as a cloak of elven kind). Might be worth investing in.
You can't take 10 on UMD.
Special: You cannot take 10 with this skill.
Huh. That's new to me. I guess I should stop having Vex do that. Time to invest in my own UMD boosting item.
Yep. Mirror Image is pretty darrn goood for everybody. I had always planned to max out UMD at some pointt. Time to start. 3 more nights and then I come home. China has been quite the adventure.
Ok, buffs of 1 min/lvl (or more):
- Enlarge Person
- False Life
- Invisibility
- Mirror Image (though, only on a wand)
- Mage Armour
.
Besh will take Mage Armour.
Besh and/or Saphren should take Invisibility. The Minor Image wand can maybe create a duplicate?
That's a smart idea. I'll do it.
I'll do a detailed buffs list and damage tracker here
Lyra: -6 HP
False Life (1h) 11 temp HP
Magic Circle vs Evil (80m) +2 AC, +2 saves
Life LInk
Heightened Senses (80m) +2 perception, +4 init
Shield Other +1 ac, +1 saves
Paragon Surge, +2 int, +2 dex, counterspell focus
Vex:
Minor Image
Brenna:
Invisibility (8m) 2 atk vs sighted opponents, ignore enemy dex to AC, +40/+20 stealth
Enlarge Person (8m), +2 str, large size
Beshtori:
Mage Armor (8h), +4 ac
Saphren:
Invisibility (8m) +2 atk vs sighted opponents, ignore enemy dex to AC, +40/+20 stealth
If a fight breaks out I'll be burning Heightened Awareness for to gain +4 to my initiative (bringing my bonus to +7)
Thanks Lyr, tracking amongst five other games gets my brain confused, lol. I'll start pasting that in.
