Leira will help with any needed spell.

anga too. ready to go

Ready to go. I have a Ragnir back in tow ;)

Kaos will look for a scroll of alter self and ask Leira or Anga can learn it.

An Alter Self scroll would be available in Janderhoff. 150gp

Great now can Leira or Anga learn it and help Haskyll?

Leira can help with that. Let me know when the spell is not needed anymore to free the slot.
Spellcraft DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Alter self inscribing materials 60 gp.

hmm, didn't think about drawing the scroll out, I'll be more careful next time. Sorry mazra

No problem. Surprise Rounds don't really give you a lot to work with. In a normal round, it wouldn't be an issue.

Leira can help with that. Let me know when the spell is not needed anymore to free the slot.

[dice=Spellcraft DC 17]1d20+10
Alter self inscribing materials 60 gp.

Only need while we are in town.

Life's still kinda kicking me in the crotch, Fridays and Mondays being the worst, but I just had a major breakthrough on my one troublesome project. Hopefully that will give me some breathing room.

i will have the trasure sheet sorted out on friday, for those that requested updates to their moneys.

at work on tablet and limited as to what i can do, and thurs i am assisting a sibling with farm related tasks.

sorry it has taken this long.

Leira, the spell slot would be tied up for at least 3 to 6 adventuring days.
when i get a chance to reread the crafting on the move section, i will clarify the total time.
Thank you Kaos on providing the info on it.

all,

I need to apologize for not posting for the last while, and this bit of full disclosure will hopefully give you a feeling of where I'm at. About 4 months ago, we had an update of a critical software, that was my project, go horribly bad, and it got me put on a performance review. 90% of the time this leads to the termination of the person on it. So for the last 4 months, I've been working with my nose to the grindstone, most of the time putting in 50+ hour workweeks, which left me not doing much of anything else. Fortunately, that 4 months is up, and I find myself in the 10% that kept their job. You should see an uptick in my regularity at this point now that that pressure and stress is eliminated. The review had been lessened and put back in place a few times (more because of HR issues than my performance), which is why I'd given optimistic posts here about things lightening up, but then fell back to being irregular. The actual sign off on that PR came yesterday, with my manager actually letting me shred a paper copy of it ;).

Thanks again for the patience, I know it's been a bit of a struggle for you all as well.

Pat (Ragnir)

Thanks Pat for the update. Real world always comes first. But sometimes we do need to let things go to take care of what is truly important. If playing this game risked family, friends, or job, then the game would be history for me.

I for one would want nothing more than your success and prosperity.

Amen

Please see my response on your "Wrath of the Rightous Game." :)
But my sentiments exactly.

And this right here is one of the reasons that I sincerely don't want to leave these particular games. While we only know each other from here, and only writing, I still consider you all friends. To see your support really means a lot. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all very much.

:D

GM, are Ogres not a sub class of giant, and if so, should they not be rolling for the nailmail armour that I am wearing ??

Giant’s Nail Scale Mail

Any creature of the giant subtype who comes within 30 feet of this +2 giant’s nail scale mail must succeed at a DC 16 Will save or take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and saving throws for 1d4 rounds.
This ability functions as a gaze effect. It is a mind affecting fear effect, but it does not stack with other fear effects to create stronger fear conditions.
A giant who succeeds at the saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours. If a giant rolls a natural 20 on its saving throw, it becomes enraged by the sight of the armor. The giant gains the effects of the rage spell for 1d4 rounds and is compelled to attack the armor’s wearer for the duration of this effect.

Aura moderate necromancy; CL 7th Slot armor; Price 9,200 gp; Weight 30 lbs.

Yes sir. Totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

Yup, I never played a PC with a bane weapon before.

So it might seem a little bit of an odd question, but I figured I would put it out there.

Anyone heard from Ulfgard?

I had a computer crash and am still working on getting all data from the old to the new one. But I am here!

will need a couple of days to sort the treasure.

I too have lost a number of posts lately. I have begun to get in the habit of composing everything but dice roll results offline in Word. It is saved me a ton of lost time.

going to be a day or two longer. just had a nail removed painful.

Ouch. Where?

Thanks for letting us know, BTW. Stuff happens.

was on the toe. one more day now and i should be good.

Ouch for sure.

@GM:

I am back at work, but with some discomfort.

I will grab the treasure info, and put it into my home spreadsheet.

I will then fire it to you to put up.
You should be seeing it within the next 2 days.

Treasure list updated.

@Haskyll - Please confirm that this is the most current version.

Thanks for all your work.

Yes, this is the most current version.

Is anybody else having trouble with the site?

Yea, it keeps crashing on me.

They are updating their ancient code. And there is always unforeseen consequences when that happens.

sorry for the delay, have had some net issues.

Site's been on an off "IT Goblins" for the last few days.

Sorry, combo of bad connectivity and illness has stopped my posting. Should be good now

Ragnir, if you do not have a magic weapon yet, then the mace is yours.

If someone needs something that we just picked up, let me know either in game play or via pm.

If no one claims something, I will try to determine who will make best use of it, and then let them get it.

If no one can really use it, I will then suggest it for selling.

Looking over the party, Ragnir does make the most sense for carrying the Mace.

I would say he is carrying it in the current encounter. Just as well give it try. Right?

Well, in character, I tossed it to him, before I went out to look for Kaos.

Cool. Just confirming. Thanks.

Just some musings:

The map that the party is on was originally setup for the Leucrotta encounter. But when the party decided to investigate the Rift Drake cave, I decided to use the same map for the Rift Drake's home and the encounter with the second Rift Drake. The Luecrotta encounter was to be at night, so the opportunity to still use the map for this encounter was available when the party rested.

I have been playing D&D a long time. There was only a Monster Manual when I first started DMing. Yes, the original TSR Monster Manual. The Luecrotta is in it. This is the first time in all these years that I have actually had a Leucrotta encounter.

The Leucrotta's lure effect is interesting. Kaos PMed me about a point as to whether the second Leucrotta's affect would even work after the first. He is probably correct. But we were already well into the round. Plus, this made the encounter more of a challenge. And with it being a Supernatural Ability, I just went with it instead of Retconning a bunch of actions. I will not use the lure again. It is just attack to the death time.

By the way, after this encounter, the party will be Level 8.

I was kind of excited about it too. I've been playing D&D since the first boxed set (paperback bound), and I think this is the first time I've ever seen the Leucrotta used. After seeing how effective it is, I'm thinking my D&D players in Loaded Dice will be seeing a few in their future :)

Wow! Thanks for the background about the encounter Mazra.

I think it was fair altogether. When the four appeared at first I thought we were going to fall under the lure, but as the lure broke when attacked I breathed relieved. It felt fair.

Level 8, yay!!!

It is a fun encounter, even if I failed the save. In fact because I failed the save. I became a bit more invested. Also, a nice wave to an old school monster. As long as it isn't a chain encounter with flumps. Or flail snails (the things wizards get up to when drunk) :D

The lure ability just makes it a tougher challenge.

As the lure breaks on the attack, that does equalize it, and it is nice to see the old creatures come out.

I also started with the blue book.

Had all the 1st prints of ad&d, and then water break in house.
can never replace.

it also doesnt really help that i cannot seem to break the rng hate on me.

you can get the books online now, but it's just not the same.

Speaking of things D&D comes up with when drunk? Mayonnaise from the Alchemy Jug? LOL https://www.twitch.tv/videos/117770104?t=31m58s

How about the cursed robe of blending. Don't hit puree.

LOL, isn't that the truth.

Girdle of Masculinity / Femininity

This fight is odd, in the fact that the casters although are not good at it, are not afraid of getting into melee.
