It's no burden Ollo, but you're welcome all the same.

Okay so Aarion is already level two, Talon and Ai have been leveled, Ollo will likely be ready by Monday. Just need word from Narika on when she'll be level and I'll set the start date.

I've leveled up Narika on paper, I just have to take a few minutes to transfer the new stats to the computer. I intend to finish that tonight, so go ahead and set the new start date.

Alright, provided everyone is ready and has their sheets updated I'll start us up on Tuesday.

OK, done!

It occurs to me that I have a bit of gold still to spend. Does anyone have any advice on which scrolls/potions are mandatory? I can afford a couple level 2 scrolls.

OK, done!

I see your header is updates but could you update the rest of your character sheet as well? Skills, spells, etc. Just in case I need to DMPC your character at any point I'd prefer to have accurate stats.

Ai as far as scrolls i wish I could help. The mesmerist has so my good spells for controlling the field of battle or boosting her allies, it's hard to choose.

Not a clue on the scrolls. I generally save money unless I have specific things I need/want to buy. Then again, I don't run a ton of spell-casters. :)

I did update the character sheet earlier. It's actually kind of ridiculous how little a sorcerer gains on the level up to 2. Not even another level 1 spell known! I will double check if I missed any changes.

edit: I found 2 errors. I was missing a new cantrip and BAB increase. Other than that, the character sheet was up to date for level 2.

If you intend to buy scrolls, I would consider utility scrolls, which would allow you to focus your known spells more offensively. You could also consider spending Pp on a wand of infernal healing,(Assuming you are ok with dealing in darker type magic), for out of combat healing. I would also consider an offensive wand of some sort, to allow you to participate more throughout the scenario at lower levels.

Aarion is good to go, when everyone else is.

Ollo is ready.. I just have to update the sheet on here. I rebuilt him into a warpriest. I think he will be much more effective that way, and he gets better spell casting this way too!

I'm a fan of my warpriest. He's fun. And yah, I'd think that's an easier class to play as a dwarf.

I've really enjoyed playing the pregens Oloch.. but I detest some of the choices they made. I fugue I would give it a shot

That might be my most horrible post so far, in any game.

Ha! Worth the read, though. ;p

At least Talon's monumental awkwardness is well offset by someone willing to completely ham it up.

Who, me? I just want the wine to get to whatshisname's feet!

Since this is still the Confirmation ceremony, I made a tiny change to Narika before the level 2 lock in. I changed her 1 rank in diplomacy to 1 rank in intimidate, because intimidate is a class skill. I hope that's OK.

By the way, Narika has earned a reward on her faction card that I may need help knowing when to use. She gets +1 on attack and damage rolls against known slavers.

You use the +1 anytime someone ask you to marry them.

ba-dum tsssss

Sorry, all. Had issues with my internet provider over the weekend (resulting in no internet). Trying to catch up now.

Asking this here so we don't clutter gameplay too much.

Talon to clarify, you can reach the top of the tunnel in one move, you just can't stop on the edge (10ft of movement to reach the edge). So are you staying on the rope and attempting to cast, or are you climbing to the top?

If you do reach the top you discover the same thing that Aarion did, which is another opening in the ceiling (b) on the map.

You should be fine to cast as I believe you only need one hand if a spell has somatic components.

Since Aarion is moving on and up (to engage our attackers), Talon will follow him, instead.

My plan was to Burning Hands up into the hole, but I'll do this instead.

Man, Narika, that wand's already paying for itself. Nice pick-up. :)

And if you are running low, Talon has the same wand, which he'd be able to lend you if it's helpful.

It really is, she's like a magical turret, I'm still waiting to pick one up on my own sorceress.

It was a god-send to my sorcerer in Thornkeep Level 1. That's a rough dungeon crawl. O.o

It's great now, but I don't think 1d4+1 damage will be worth mentioning in a few levels. Unfortunately, I can't think of any other auto-hit spells that are level 2 or 3 that would be good wands later. Also, in a home game, I would be concerned the GM would be getting frustrated and make up something immune to magic missile, like giving every enemy a permanent shield spell.

Here are you chronicles

I'll have the next post up shortly.

Chronicle is good. Character sheet is updated. Only purchase is a Cloak of Resistance +1 (because DAYUM, TALON, PASS A SAVE ALREADY!)

@Talon: I also bought a Cloak of Resistance, and I can just spam Gift of Will on you so you only have like a 15% chance of failure. If that's cool with everyone.

Chronicle looks good! thanks.

@Talon: I also bought a Cloak of Resistance, and I can just spam Gift of Will on you so you only have like a 15% chance of failure. If that's cool with everyone.

I certainly won't argue. Though I'm also 100% fine if you get creative with who you use it on as the situation demands. :)

I will also try an be more proactive on using the wand of Bless and my own spells. Guidance is very often overlooked, but can be useful.

Hi. I won't be able to post today, on account of massive layoffs at my job at the end of the school year. I'll either be depressed or drinking, not sure which.

Oof. I hope you end up drinking in success/relief.

Me too. Good luck, and best wishes, Ai. I really hope the best for you.

*Pew Pew* your way to victory, magic-guys!

Sho nuff

Having some interest service issues, I'll update as soon as I can.

How did this situation get this out of hand? Yikes.

I believe it all started with a sleep spell ;)

To give some clarification, there was a developer ruling that all spellcasting manifests some form of obvious visual cue. So without knowing that everyone's spells were harmless they attacked. None of them have any spellcraft so they had no idea what sorts of spells you were all casting, which made an already twitchy situation quickly devolve into what it is now.

Picoperi says happy GM's day!

I will be away till some time on Sunday. If you need to bot Aarion or delay him, I am OK with it.

Busy weekend, just got home should have the next post up later today.

Since it looks like we'll never know, how difficult could that fight have been had Ai not shortened it so dramatically?

It depends, the most difficult thing would have been determining who got hit by color spray. Depending on how many of you failed your will saves the fight could have gotten drastically different.

Narika the third cast wasn't needed, you technically weren't up until after the soldiers moved so only the first two charges were used.

Sorry to ruin what was probably a cool encounter. I'll be seeing what other options Ai has to contribute after level 3.

Bah. No need to apologize. I don't think fun was ruined. :)

Hey, any plan that leaves no chance for us to come away hurt is best by far!

Hi, all. Looks like we're down to Narika, Talon, Ollo, and Ai.

That being said, I have a friend who might (emphasis on might) be able to jump in after QFP part 3. Having only 4 would probably be rough, but we seem pretty competent so far. The other thing is that I'm not quite sure what she's played yet.

Sorry to see you go Aarion, especially just one step away from completing this trilogy. It's been fun having you.

Ai feel free to ask your friend. I intend to start the next part this Friday.

I should hopefully have all chronicles out by tomorrow.
