Yes, you can communicate, actually while you communicate there is a stop to the 'attacks'.
Spoiler the communication.
*******Edit*******
Nice guys, keep it up. If you want me to jump in for any questions or rulings, you know where I am. I will be watching... :P
Tate, Ivanna, and Azulth I am waiting on your actions. Alton the kobold comes up to you... 30 feet away... what do you do?
I'm kind of waiting on what to do from here, there's not much to go on. I've put as much blood onto the orb as I can/regenerate, and am hoping for a sign or some indication of what to do next...
So far my last act was to paint the orb entirely with my own blood. Then you said there's no blood left in the temple.
Right now he's just kind of waiting on a reaction, if time goes by without reaction he'll do something else.
What does connecting to the throne allow me to do?
Oom you feel as if you know more about it, though you know it is missing fuel, you can cast spells into the throne, and with that fuel it could start functioning properly.
Give me 10 suggestions on spells that you think this throne could do.
Arcane eyes is one of the spells on it, I found the spell!
Also scrying and message.
So spells that I can cast through the eyes?
1. irresitable dance
2. dominate monster
3. telekinesis
4. prying eyes, greater
5. polymorph any object
6. earthquake
7. major image
8. geas-guest
9. reverse gravity
10. spellscar
Those are just some ideas.
i suppose i would be looking for something like blink dog skins or air elemental essence, feline soap, etc to make myself something like this
For a throne, Mass Suggestion, Protection of (good?), Age resistance, Protection from scrying, Anti-Magic Sphere.
1. irresitable dance - 1 charge
2. dominate monster - 1 charge
3. prying eyes, greater - 1 charge
4. major image - 1 charge
5. geas-quest - 5 charges (takes 2 hours to cast)
6. reverse gravity - 2 charges
7. Mass Suggestion - 3 charges
Throne has a well of 50 charges, each charge can be restored if you cast 5 spell levels into it.
Constants on the one sitting on or touching the throne (ally):
Magic circle against - good, evil, law, chaos
Shield of faith +5
Age resistance
Protection from scrying
Anchor
See invisible
detect magic, good, evil, law, chaos
Any other suggestions?
Can Oom see Tate?
How are you guys liking it so far, any suggestions on where you would like it to go?
I'd really like a challenge of someone to kill/deliver a message to/kidnap/poison/spy on... Something up Azulth's alley, both RP-wise and mechanics-wise. I'm having a ton of fun thus far!
I think going to some interplanar things to create ties to metaverses etc and fighting demi-gods gods etc would be a good start after this is established.
Im definitely liking building the castle so far
i find it interesting,
looking forward to reanimating our enemies. (or our fallen allies)
Being able to mess with people without actually being there is one of the best things that has ever happened Oom.
I took the false focus and invested in an expensive holy symbol,
The false focus feat has a limit of 100 gp.
The price of true seeing is 250.
Yes, but you need to stock specific components when they are actually worth more then what is found in your spell component pouch.
I might be using my blood money spell more than I had planned because I forgot to purchase my own. I knew I had way more money than intended at the beginning.
I spent every penny. The stuff i got was so worth it.
Well....
Nothing doin....
im here
I'm waiting for a Response.
Just been a while since the last post, a little odd, that's all.
how about to pass the time how about we post what our domains will/may be
mine would be Death/Magic/Artifice
darkness would come after that
i would imagine Magic might be gone after by a lot of folks, heh
Mine would be
Law / knowlage / law / defense / law / scalykind / more law.
Mine would probably be
magic / chaos / luck / madness / destruction / trickery.
Hm... Darkness, Death with the Murder subdomain, and Trickery with the Deception and Thievery subdomains.
Who are we all waiting on? I forget.
I'm waiting on the lizardfolk to respond to me.
Or a confirmation that he says nothing
I think the ones that work best for Ivanna are: Nobility, Charm, Law (mostly slavery), and possibly Travel as well.
Sorry folks that I have been away for so long. I have been very busy with work, grading papers, and trying to get enough sleep to function with the more standard schedule than I am used to.
I will be catching up tomorrow.
I am not sure what to do right now, I have the throne working but not much else. I might as well help out whoever I can see. any other ideas.
Don't worry, this is supposed to be fun for you too.
I'm not gonna rush.
yeah, i have the heart and i am just kinda building the castle. kinda waiting to see how that turns out.
as an aside an ac of 51 while hard isn't super hard to hit, during rage if not defensive fighting or power attacking my to hit is +20bab +21 str +3 moral + 1 competence +5 reckless abandon +5 enhancement bonus +1 feat so +55. Power attack reduces it by 5 of course and so does combat expertise.

That's my touch ac.
My normal ac is 63.+3 more from defensive fighting.
+4 more after a quickened shield.
Brings my ac to 70.
While defensive fighting i can deflect any one melee attack a round as a non-action.
Your +55 is deflected if it hits, then the rest only hit on a 20.
Deflected attacks and missed attacks all provoke an AOO from me.
oooooorrrr we could be a party!
I'm not talking to you, this isn't about you it's in regard to his "tough to hit" lizard at 51 ac.
although I can tell you designed a character just to fight ours and are looking for an excuse to do so.
No, not really. I've had this one in mind for a while.
And since it matched my touch ac, and i just ran up to him, it looked like he may have been talking to me.
Most of the abilities the throne has, can only be done in the room that the throne actually is, though I like reverse gravity anywhere you can see.
______
LOL... :P
Sorry folks for my absence and any miscommunication.
The lizard folk was running, the kobold kept match with it for a round, then the round worth of words from TATE and the kobold happened, that is about where we stopped it.

We will get to the Castle creation soon. Tate is about ready to be caught up... so soon. Bertram I will leave it up to you how you want to introduce the castle layout, though I can whip out a floor plan if needed.
hmm i can probably do some kind of layout. i will look into it.
It could be a verbal layout, such as:
Courtyard to 1. Entrance Hall, or 2. Stables
Entrance Hall to Main dining hall
Main dining hall to 1. Library, 2. Bathroom, 3. Kitchen, 4. stairs
Stairs in Main dining hall to 1. 2nd floor, 2. 3rd floor
2nd floor: 1. 5 bedrooms
Or
it could be just a list of the rooms
or
a picture layout of the rooms with labels.
or something more... :P
Hey DM, I still have 2 feats I haven't assigned yet, can one of them be leadership for the sole purpose of giving my imp levels,
It would be either witch, wizard or warlock, haven't quite decided on that part,
Yeah, that would work.
decided to go the descriptive route....
A massive castle of smooth metal and crystals forms from the chunks flying up into the air. In the center, a 60ft tall tower presides over the rest of the structure, which is cornered by four smaller towers of 40ft height. Embedded crystals provide sufficient light around the structure, reflecting in their myriad facets. The corner towers each possess plenty of spartan barracks space, near one of which sets a bathing area primarily meant for the soldiers who might one day guard these halls.
Upon entering the structure, a large main hall can be seen through doors on the opposite end of the dedicated teleportation room. In this room, easy-to-remember statues, pillars, and decorative walls make for easy recollection should someone want to teleport here. In the main hall, tables stand ready to serve as a meeting or dining area. At the back of the hall there is a double door that leads to a throne room. To the right of the main hall, a large kitchen area can be seen.
To the left of the main hall, a short hallway makes a T-intersection with a long hallway from which 8 bedrooms branch off. At the back end of the hallway, a large library can be accessed. A door in the back of the library leads to a magnificent alchemy lab, which is blocked off from the throne room by a reinforced protective wall. Opposite the library from the alchemy lab is a room with further reinforced protective walls, stacked with dummies for use in testing explosive spells and the like. At the other end of the long hallway of bedrooms is a large bathing area.
Off the side of the alchemy lab, a stairwell is blocked off. Those enterprising enough to access it find that it leads up to an observatory, or down to a large dungeon with an adjacent summoning room. Adjacent but completely blocked off from that lies a 60ft deep pit that houses the Heart of the castle, adjacent to which lies the Tinkerer's large laboratory, replete with all manner of strange devices.
On the far end of the kitchen, blocked off but open to the outside, lies an impressive stable that holds both winged and earth-bound mounts. Next to that is a storage room, with what looks like the beginnings of work to add a second level beneath it.
Scattered throughout the structure are four small temple areas, currently nondescript. Next to one of the guard towers is a large sparring room, and to the other side of that is an agility and stealth training room.
Basically I am letting you DM the Castle part and I will try to help if you are not around to answer any of the questions people have.
Also there might be a few undead skeleton horses and one skeleton dire wolf, but no other mounts, But there sure is plenty of room for both winged and ground based mounts.
ok, got it
