Shake it off is really nice too.
That's true, I completely missed that one! Hrm... think I'm going to change it too that. Could be really powerful if we group huddle for a round when someone desperately needs to make a save.
It's a clever trap. My only one quibble, and it is a minor quibble, is how these people can afford enough glue when it is 2400 gold an ounce. Like in Xilres, where they must have blown their entire gross national product on traps. The economic concerns leave me faintly incredulous. I really hope that if we loot the palace we find that Targ was massively in debt.
Omen does the glue count as an object? Could Gabriel use his Shatter ability to clean it off of me? It might not be RaW but it feels clever.
That would be an interesting twist to the scenario, if Targ was building an army to combat the foreign force coming to seize his defaulted kingdom
@Toramin - I raised my eyebrows at the price as well, but again you guys are awesome at guessing what is behind the scenes. Yes Targ was absolutely horrible at managing money and it's one of the main reasons he had to spend so much effort on the arena; because it made money.
Ah, very clever Toramin. Yes I would rule that each application of the glue would count as a separate object, so shatter would work. I imaging eyes followed by ears would be the priority order and maybe just let Toramin be a mouth breather for a while.
Toramin be a mouth breather
We'd always suspected.
Next thing we'll find out beneath his actual beard he's a neckbeard!
A few more things about taking the Steel Hound archetype; book keeping stuff. Rilka’s no longer proficient in short sword, so I switched her short sword for a rapier. For the pistol, bullets, black powder, and powder horn the total is 1,148 gp. So the total cost of her current gear is 4277.33.
I put the pistol and associated items on the character sheet for reference, but for now I assume they are at their new domicile. Along with Rilka’s sling staff and rapier. She hadn’t quite been expecting to do much combat today.
There's a secret to dungeons and dragons that I learned with my experience... no matter what you're doing, -always- expect combat.
Skipping ahead of a boring day? Expect combat to interrupt that. Going to the restroom? Combat will interrupt that too. Bout to fight in some combat? Combat can also interrupt that combat, getting combat in your combat so you can have more combat with your combat.
Maybe a Spellcraft check is in order?
I think so, and I poked Dalton in game just in case for it.
Sorry - I put it in now.
Sorry guys, things have been very hectic lately. With the start of the new school year I've vowed to become more active and participate in more things because last year I suffered from the "Laziness breeds more laziness" curse. I haven't forgotten about you and I appreciate your patience.
Vow to be more active getting out of this dungeon. ;-)
What would be prudent*
Buh. Typos.
And no worries about the patience thing Omen. Get settled at school, focus on life. We all know you're not going anywhere with this game.
If this trap turns out to be overthinking I am not sure if I will be able to hate or praise you Omen. Also, warning to those who click on that link, that is one of about three pages from the comic that doesn't have some form of nudity. The rest does. A lot.
As a side note, Bjorkus, Gabe is trying to go in alone to rest the waters. XD If the cloud doesn't kill him and he doesn't fall into a pit of super duper glue he'll come back. Depending on what sort of Trap this is, Gabe might be able to act as a Fog Light.
Oh god, that's great. XD
One of my favorite trap-related scenes occurred in a 4e campaign I ran back when 4e was relevant.
When triggered, it teleported all of the victim’s clothing and gear away into a chest deeper in the dungeon leaving the victim utterly naked. After the party’s tank triggered it, they quickly deduced that the best course of action was to strip naked, toss all their stuff down the hallway across the trigger, and then re-equip on the other side. One awkward ‘everyone is naked’ scene later, they’d overcome the trap.
Of course simply disarming the trap was the easiest solution but they left nothing to chance!
That’s hilarious.
Dalton, not to bug you, but Gabe already explained the words earlier. I think it was in my first reaction post to the fog wall and the riddle.

You did. I'm just highlighting how he reacted prior to you doing so as I wasn't around to post earlier this afternoon.
Ah, okay! Sorry, just didn't want you to miss that. There was a flurry of posting between now and then. XD
Would whispering wind be able to bypass the barrier?
You wouldn't know. You could try.
I only have one second level spell per day so I suppose we'll just wait.
Oooh, clever!
Also, google chrome can suuuuuuck it. I just spent a half hour trying to figure out why my font changed, and it was such a small thing, but I could tell. It drove me bloody insane and when I finally figured out why.... bleh. Well, its back too normal and my mind is no longer raging about it.
Also, Rilka probably has alcohol of some sort in her alchemy kit we can use as a disinfectant.
Sorry guys, really busy weekend. Posting should resume tomorrow evening.
No problem. Thanks for letting us know.
I'm guessing you guys had the busy day today.
I've actually been home all day! I'm recovering from a fever though so what little writing I've been able to do has been pretty uninspired. Also, I got nothing right now, even though there's something probably very obvious that I could reply to for this thread. Sorry. Just too tired to really think.
I was hoping Rilka would post.
Use alcohol from Rilka's alchemy kit to sterilize the blade and let's get bleeding.

I'd assumed that's what we'd agreed upon.
Right.
Let's get a mooove on.
As well I'm hoping Rilka works to disable that trap before we set it off, though in game no one else know's about it. XD
Right.
Let's get a mooove on.
Now that I think about it, Bjorkus would be precisely the same personality as Taurus from Fairy Tail.
I didn’t specify that Rilka had her alchemy gear. Is it safe to assume it’s in Dalton’s bag of holding?

He wouldn't have said no. If so, he retrieves it for you.
I'm not a nazi with gear. Just make sure you track wealth and don't encumbered yourself (which you never should with how generous my bag of holding gifts are) and I assume a competent 5th level party has basic supplies on them.
Also since you're using your own blades and not being careless I'll assume that catching a disease won't be a problem. Making clean cuts on purpose would have a lot less danger of infection than the average party member's daily intake of blows from weapons.
And I'm waiting on Rilka to do something about the gas trap before moving on since I assume nobody wants to have complete lung failure.
Would be hilarious way to end this party. XD Not killed by the out of our league monstrosity barbarian or his cleric companion, but by a trap left behind.
Hrm. I need my lungs. I'm told they're important.
Good to know about the gear. Thanks!
I just want to double check. Rilka should have full health, right? The last time she was in combat was with Fuero when they kidnapped the woman. I don’t think I’ve changed her hp since that fight. Does it make sense that she’d be 36/36?
She got attacked by the Super Ghoul a little while ago. I think Bjorkus brought her back to full.
Oh yes. Thank you.
Correct and correct.
At this rate we'll be 7th by the time we get out!
That would be pretty awesome...
Not sure if it'll make a difference but Rilka's Disable Device roll was off. She shorted herself +3 from trapfinding.
1/2 her level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1). A rogue can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
Good catch Bjorkus, however that still fails the check.
