Tomorrow is my last working day and afterwards I am on leave until the 2nd of January. I will probably be online quite a lot anyway, but especially the larger updates will come irregurlarly during this time.

Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch!
| Amenhep |
Howdy folks, starting tomorrow I'll be in a little beach town in Oaxaca for some serious chillin' out time, returning on the 9th of January. I may be able to squeeze a post in here and there, but signal/wifi is likely to be spotty at best.
Please bot me as necessary.

Happy New Year GM, and good luck with your health.
| Francis Thrannel |
Casting Bless, Cure Disease, Remove Curse, Prayer, and anything else that might apply. Maybe it'll be a false positive!?! Anyway, take care and good luck!
| GM West |
No, it seemed like a pretty solid positive, and my symptoms match. Fortunately it's mild, and I'm thinking my 'O' blood type might be aiding that fact. I've read a few articles that the virus has a tough time with O blood.
| Elliander Celandi |
I wish you all good health and a speedy recovery to our GM!
(Getting my third (boosting) shot today, myself.)

@ GM I assume my perception check showed me no new insights?

I have stated my opinion what the options are, I can of course come up, but I think we can discuss this just as well while I stay down here.
Of course when the GM rules, that the others cannot hear me from upstarirs I will go up, but I think it is more fruitful of we discuss solutions.
| Soumral Malyarin |
I'm not sure if Soumral can dispel the trap, she never found a focal point so it would be more of an AoE kind of attempt and I don't know if Dispel Magic can be used that way?
Also she could fail the rolls, and would need protection from tiles while casting because she'd at least need line of sight I'd think.
| GM Kulko |
I would have assumed the rushing only starts once the door is open. And if we go the route of dispel of course Soumral would hold the symbol and be down here.
Would Soumrals Dispel force the lock and break the alarm? If not how do we approach it? I give it a shot? She just breaks the lock?
| GM West |
I'm presuming everyone is still on the stairs as well, waiting for Rediz to call out that the route is open. Unless someone posts something else.
Soumral knows that the Alarm spell is likely triggered by touching the door or perhaps even approaching it. As to the Arcane Lock, you can try picking the lock as usual - though it'll be a tougher DC, of course. Same with breaking in. Knock will suppress the spell and of course Dispel Magic will vanquish it - if the caster level check is high enough. Same goes for the Alarm spell.
I feel like I'm talking to myself here... *eyes the GM Kulko avatar* ;)
| Soumral Malyarin |
Sorry, end of the month is a tough time for me to post readily due to work.
I did some digging into how Dispel Magic works and here's how it seems to go.
Soumral could try dispelling the Arcane Lock or the Alarm spell, bit not both. If the door is Arcane Locked and also locked, it only affects the spell. The door lock would still have to be picked.
She hasn't been able to find a focal point for the trap, so she can't try to dispel it.
If she used Dispel Magic on the door, she will need line of sight and therefore protection. She'll already have to make a CL check, and I don't want to stack another check to concentration while taking damage on top of it.

@Eliander I am not sure how often you check your Private messages, but I have written you about some other topic.
| Elliander Celandi |
Thanks for the heads up, Rediz! (I’m not familiar yet with this platform and all its features.)
Definitely interested. Will write you an answer later today.

So we are waiting for Amenheps first round action correct?
| Elliander Celandi |
I'll be away travelling the next 9 days, with limited time and network access. Please NPC if I don't post in time.
Elliander will continue to fight undead with his sword and channeling the cantrip Disrupt Undead, if possible.
Stats:
The Biter: 1d20+13 +1 if Blessed
(2nd attack:The Biter: 1d20+8 +1 if Blessed)
Channeling Disrupt Undead
Damage Roll: 1d8+4+2d6+1 with Bane(Undead) and Arcane Strike
Disrupt Undead Damage Roll:1d6
| Elliander Celandi |
Thanks, GM West. :)
No, when a duskblade channels via a melee attack, he uses the armored AC and it does not inflict any AoO (or need a Concentration check). When he does an ordinary touch attack with a spell, then he uses the touch AC and it’s the same type of attack as a wizard instead.
| Elliander Celandi |
Not sure if it matters, but Elliander has Arcane Strike +2 now (and not just +1) so the enemy would have taken an extra 1 dmg for each of the two strikes.

The third attack,, the one with the possible crit was directed at Francis, not Eliander, correct?
| GM West |
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
That's really strange... I posted to the adventure thread last night but it's disappeared! Fortunately, I write them out in Word and save them, so I can just repost. Will try to get it to it tonight, but it might not be until tomorrow.
| Elliander Celandi |
Yes, write it somewhere else and then cut&paste it in is very good idea.
Right now it seems to take a long time to see the post. I have to reload like 4-5 times before I see my post.
| GM West |
For the record, I have absolutely no problems with folks posting IC along with an OOC comment as to the 'why' they are making IC commands or suggestions. It's reminiscent of a table top game, and to do otherwise lies madness! :)
| GM West |
Still here folks, and still busy with zero mental bandwith to compose a decent post. Just want to keep you all appraised and let you know I'm still around. Gonna try like hell to get something up next week sometime. This weekend is my birthday and I'm headed out of town for a VERY brief vacation. Maybe that'll clear my head!

I don't believe rerolling Knowledge is feasible, but anyway Rediz had rolled a 20 on his check so we likely know everything there is to know.
| Elliander Celandi |
Is it this one:
Memory
| Soumral Malyarin |
So obviously the teleportation attack is the big problem. Here are the spell options I can see. Honestly none of them are very good.
1. Create Pit: This would break line of sight. It also requires the Crypt Thing fail a reflex saving throw to fall in. However if it can dimension door itself, it's automatically out of the pit the next round.
2. Burst of Radiance / Glitterdust: If being blinded shuts down the teleportation attack, then these can do it. But they're low level so would require it to have a low Reflex or Will save respectively. Probably it would make the save. Burst of Radiance would leave it dazzled on a successful save, but that isn't the same as preventing sight.
3. Summon Monster III: We could send a summoned creature in to get teleported away. But this isn't a great use for such a great spell. It also depends on it either having limited uses or a timed recharge (like dragons breath weapon) to use it. If not it's useless.
We could try fooling it by wearing the masks, which isn't a great plan. Or we can suck it up and try to kill it really fast.
| Elliander Celandi |
It can only teleport burst 1/day.
Dimension Door 3/day but only itself + touched willing creatures.
Which masks are you talking about? Do I have one too?
| Soumral Malyarin |
Didn't we fight some cultists in masks at some point back in the past? Maybe we have them on a loot sheet? I can't find one so I'm not sure.
Probably wouldn't work anyway.

I have Bull's Strength I can cast too, but anyone standing in its view must make a Will save.
I also have Dimension Hop that might save me if I get teleported to the other side of that door. It's not good if e.g. Amenhep gets stuck on the other side.
If you don't have a magic weapon, you could borrow my mace.
