just got internet back,
Eidolon > Phantoms when it comes to power scale, me thinks.
maybe, but I thought a phantom would fit the flavor of the game more, especially if I was to play someone from here in the sanitarium. Not that I want Seamus to die, I'm just not convinced of his survivability...

GM Mort |

Occult classes also aren't allowed in this since I said arcane casters with 6th-9th level spells only.

That's fine.
I actually can't access the map using my phone, so I am basing what I do purely off the Gameplay posts.

Oh, right.
Well, for some reason, I thought the lantern was lost...
Never mind. I guess we go ask Brenton :-)

Seamus Passeri |
before we try wading through the room, I just want to as Howard if he brought one of these?

GM Mort |

House warming party, also I got bit by work on the weekend, GMing a special at a convention tomorrow.
When do I sleep? Infrequently...

GM Mort |

I know this part is a tad odd...problem is that Wren can't be going to everyone telling them the whole shebang without knowing if they can be trusted first...or he'd end up dead a long time back.

GM Mort |

Nah NPCs are lazy NPCS =)
Besides, he has full confidence in your abilities =D

GM Mort |

And this is what happens when the party can't see the bad guys. No one posts and things stall. Moving you lot along...

Seamus Passeri |
In the absence of player input, what were you expecting me to do, except push you in some direction? Not to mention after init was rolled, the party had ample time to ready to strike at the creatures as they came out of the fog, but no such action was declared. I read it as the party was trying to evade the creatures.
Well, water under the bridge now, but that's why I asked about an exit.
Edit: Crud, I still need to level up, it's been a busy last couple of days.

GM Mort |

I moved you to the nearest exit as your query indicated - the basis for my actions in botting the party into trying to evade the creatures.
When I said so sorry, I revealed more map, sufficient map was revealed to show the nearest door.

Vincent Arazeiros |

Well my work PC is fixed. Been working all weekend to catch up but starting tomorrow my activity will be normal.

Vincent Arazeiros |

I'll have to do my leveling in a couple hours. Slept most of the day due to working until 3am lol

Vincent Arazeiros |

Yes ma'am AOO don't do any good if you never take them lol

GM Mort |

Eh party is up again, so get muderhobing! :P
Also it'd give you lot more time to rescue the chained up guy.

I keep having this image whenever I think of Howard and Claude
And the words, "Claude! I choose you!" pop up in my head...

![]() |

Howard's the boy and Claude is his Pikachu...
Yeah its pretty much a certainty I'm the youngest here and I'm rather fond of cartoons...
And have a warped and whimsical sense of humor.

Not really I'd say. Some people are more serious about their approach to RPGs.
But I'm hammier here then I am in RL, though I have my moments...
I still like the time I walked into a smuggling ring and yelled, "You have been caught for smuggling and you're now under arrest." Three rogues on the table were face-palming.
Cue GM:Roll Initiative
Well that was on a LN Cleric, what can I say...

Vincent Arazeiros |

Lol I never did Pokemon but keep thinking the same thing.

GM Mort |

I may miss my morning login (hopefully not) since tomorrow is a public holiday and I'm going to St Johns Island tomorrow morning and I need to catch the 9 am ferry.

GM Mort |

Also on your level up you get the full level up hp. I.e if you had 18 hp, you level, you get 24/24hp. Say if you were hurt, say at 10/18, on level up you'd be up to 16/24.
The part I meant about not like diablo style level up was the if you level up, say you were at 1/18 hp you don't instantly get 24/24 hp.

Vincent Arazeiros |

Did I have injuries? Pretty sure we healed them all but might have been confused when I did level

GM Mort |

That was more or less addressed to Seamus, since his hp shows 18/24. You should be fine.

GM Mort |

Oh ya. Your little friend the attic whisperer. Sorry. I forgot. I must be getting old...
To make a Shapechanger revert to original form, you'd need anti magic field.
I dunno why the ghouls are the cause of so many obituaries in Strange Aeons. I don't see any problem with them...

GM Mort |

Guys – I’d like to point out something that’s been bothering me. Sure it isn’t a problem at this point of time, since you’re following NPC instructions – it’s an as good way as any to proceed.
The point is there will be a time where you will in the middle of a building with no NPCs to guide you. Which way are you going to proceed? I can give you the perception results on all doors – sure – but I would rather that players post which door they want to open.
Reason being:
The left door, say has a concealed lava pit, which your perception checks failed to spot. If you choose to open the door, fall into the pit, then I can roll on the floor laughing, saying you guys chose to do it!
However, if you do not indicate direction, lets just say because I try to do things in an organized fashion, I bot you to open the doors from left to right, clockwise, after giving the relevant perception check results. If I bot you into a concealed lava pit, you will start crying fowl.
I respect player choice, respect player agency – but as I tell everyone – plot only moves when you push it. If you don’t choose a direction to go and open the relevant door, how is plot supposed to move?

GM Mort |

I've also updated the loot sheet with my own creation. Please put an X if you're claiming any items, otherwise the moment you get out of here, everything else unclaimed will be liquidated.
I hope you appreciate how painful the process was for a non number crunching kitty cat.

Oh, Mort :-/
*cough* I have my internet sorted out, and I just finished updating my version of the loot list :-(
@Seamus: Let me know if you want anything, and I will mark it for you.
@Mort: When we get some down time, I have a feeling that I will need to be preparing a few Identify spells, to work out all the items we have been unable to identify ;-)

@Seamus: By all means, claim the cloak; I was leaving the Haversack as the generic 'party loot crate' where we are storing most of our junk (we need to get our hands on a Bag of Holding as soon as we can!).

*growls and pounces on Howard then starts biting and clawing at him exasperatedly*
You should have done it faster so I could save my brain cells!
Doing that just ate the thoughts out of my brain because it's Maths!

Note that 2 CLW potions were used, one by Dakash and one by Howard.

Sorry Mort - it never occurred to me that you would do that :-/
Re: Consumables, I have been tracking them - I had a sheet of paper I was recording everything on (including wand charges).
@Seamus: You asked for it, so you can have it, as far as I am concerned.
