Kolyaruts have a number of spell-like abilities and naturally repair their damage over time if the gears within are not tainted by entropic attacks.
Alright then.
This dungeon's designer has some major anti-bard bigotry going on.
Well, they don't exactly call him Wolfgang Baurd, do they?
Ah. The 'true ghoul' antagonist suddenly makes sense.
But seriously. It's a 3.5 adventure. Bards didn't even have the option of being lawful in those days. And he puts in a trick room that gives charisma to the lawful and drains it from the chaotic. (And possibly neutral; not like we tested thoroughly.) Not to mention all the things immune to mind-affecting spells and effects before now...
Clearly, someone never got over his childhood clown phobia.
Will be a bit sporadic posting through MAYBE Monday. Moving out of this house today, and driving 16 hours to get to the new one on Saturday. May be able to get internet Saturday, maybe not.
Don't forget the room that explicitly shuts down all sound-based effects.
Happy American Turkey Day. :)
As NaNoWriMo and this term both draw to a close, I have a few major projects left to wrap up over the next few days. I'll try to keep to a standard of one post a day, but I won't be able to do more than that for a little while. My apologies.

...he said, lyingly.
A post will come tomorrow
As soon I'm sure I'm through
Wrapping up my essay
On what a poem can do.
I put it off too long
And now my time's no more
When I started this post it was 1:42
And now it's 1:44.
KC did you get my PM?
Whew. This was supposed to be the day I start posting more, since all but two finals are over and done, but then I realized Paizo was doing another vertical map.
Tomorrow, then.
Hey, Farrukh, can you refresh my memory on how you were getting 40 feet per move before? By the rules of Air Walk, you move downwards at half your speed. So, pre-haste, you should move 15 feet per move unless you have a speed-granting ability I forgot.
I move at 40 feet normally. It would be halved, which I forgot about (I thought it was only up that got half speed...down is kinda weird since stairs can be taken full speed downward).
Alright, I've placed you on the map. You can basically move any one square on the descent map—25 feet gets you right above Eben. Do you want to move down to the lake, or towards Eben, or towards the wind warriors?
Towards the warriors.
I've moved you into an intercept course, and adjacent with one of them. let me know if that's not preferred.
I love these vertical maps, but damn if they aren't hard to wrap my head around.
Blarg... vertical maps are headache-inducing. :(
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do to help Farrukh--I could either try to give him an extract to keep going, or bomb the wind warriors fighting him...
Farrukh is sitting on 6 action points. Now seems like a good time to unload.
I always forget we have those.
Is it a holiday this week or something?
Well, technically, yes, the whole week is a holiday.
But, even though we're all gamers, I don't imagine we've been seduced away from posting by the shiny possibilities of late-night dreideling.
I'm probably going to outright discontinue the bird's eye view map in the morning, since at this point it's not going to make a difference. The only remaining creature comprises less a "square area in the lake" and more a "side of the lake", if you catch my drift.
I think one map is a lot easier to understand, too, even if it's a vertical map. The birdseye view map mostly just confused people.
Sorry for not getting a post up. Got some stomach illness and baby agro. My work schedule is changing for the better starting after tomorrow so I should be able to post more regularly in the near future. I hope. -knocks on wood-
Ah, that's rough, Rodrigo. Don't worry about it. That said, if you or anybody else has ideas for what NPCdrigo can do, I'm all ears.
I moved Tanith and Carina on the (now updated) map. If Tanith wants to keep climbing, he will have to go behind the waterfall and start climbing under and up the other side, which I don't think he really wants. Eben, where are your dancing lights being kept? Near you? Or are they still by the cliff?
Well, I imagine summoning some monsters to go after the giant water snake would be a good idea...
For now I'm going to assume its stuck in the water. Also, in character I'm pretty sure all Rodrigo knows is that there is something down there, not what or where.
Rodrigo is already at the water's surface, so he doesn't need to move anymore unless he wants to position himself closer to the cliff or something.

When I looked at the map and posted earlier he was still 25' above the water. I moved him to where he is now on the map at that time. Should I have already been at the surface?
Oh, I didn't realize you'd already moved him. My bad!
Hey, while we wait for these holiday slackers to stop with the roasted chestnuts and open fires: Would anybody be open to helping me fine-tune an adventure proposal/concept I'm working on? If so, PM me.
I'm going to be in Vegas for the next few days. NPC me if necessary.
Is my extract of displacement still active, KC?
It is active. They don't seem diverted by it.
Oh dear.
Will we be getting an AP refresh at some point, KC?
You will be refreshing (and possibly leveling up) at the end of this adventure. You're...roughly three encounters away.
'Possibly' leveling? Since XP doesn't directly come into play, is that a 'go and fight the river serpent, you sad bunch of cowards' hint?
No.
Oh, right, Merry Christmas and all that jazz. Well...I suppose 't is the season. Everyone recovers 2 Action Points! If that puts you over, consider them to be "bonus" APs.
*Rereading ahead*
Holy s~!*, this is the anti-bard dungeon.
...it gets worse?
:::Eben conjures an illusion of a sad kitten crying. It is promptly ignored by every single denizen of this dungeon.:::
In fairness, we're approaching the level where every single monster seems to have true seeing. I may modify some of that slightly (since it's often a bit dumb), but where it's coming up in this dungeon, it's kind of key. You'll see what I mean.
