What kind of festival? That's not a word one hears routinely, but it sounds like something the world needs more of.

A music festival, with all kinds of shows, good food, camping and so on

Binge on cat videos. Listen to your favorite rock songs. If you live in the United States just keep telling yourself "Only 8 more years."

Or, thank God the last 8 years are over :)
Though, truthfully, even though I am a staunch conservative, I like it best when the government is divided and neither party has the ability to run roughshod over the other.

While the ACA has actually been a big help to myself and my family, Obama otherwise felt far too much to me like a continuation of W - for a president who campaigned on change, he did not deliver.
But dear gods, even if one is a 'conservative*' there's no excuse for this guy. I'm just glad he's incompetent.
* = For that matter, the GOP really ISN'T 'conservative.' They want to erase the entire 20th Century. As a scion of that century, I take that personally.

Other than that...
Binge on cat videos.
Now now, I DO have better things to do than that.
Listen to your favorite rock songs.
With a handful of exceptions, I don't like rock, or just about any other genre of modern music.

Whether that scenario comes true or not, I'm SERIOUSLY hoping to move somewhere else long before then. I'm getting sick of this country. I don't feel safe or free.

We had great weather, the boys are exhausted and so is their dad. Skipper, your translation was spot-on!

Unless one of those gargoyles was a divine caster of an evil deity I don't think I hit any goals. I am level 11 after this but it shouldn't take long to update.

Day job roll coming up:
Ice scultping: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25
Use the player portfilio for a reroll if not used in-game:
Ice scultping: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Yuck. I guess nobody appreciated the yellow ice.

That's nice. I heard from a friend who lives near Den Haag, that it's been great weather this weekend with temperatures of 30°+ and lots o' sunshine. Perfect weather for a music festival!
If we are finished part 2 then I may need a day or two to sort things out as I have now hit level 10.
No worries. I'll probably post the intro to part 3 in a short while, just to get the ball rolling, but we'll likely not get properly started straight away anyway.

You didn't even meet a single creature with any class levels, so no luck there.

I'm sure you will all be happy to know Nuar can now cast 2 Fireballs in a round if needed :)
And to give myself something to do vs golems I'm adding Acid Pit to my spell list.

GM Skipper |

Well, there's no kill like OVER-overkill...
A way to deal with golems I quite like is Arcane Blast

![]() |

I enjoy the visual of it falling into a pit of acid more. Or being pushed into one. Speaking of overkill I think I'll grab a Blazing Robe. So CL 14 on the fireballs.

![]() |

Bought the Blazing Robe (Unclosed btw, Wouldn't want to cover up the tattoos.), some more saltpeter, some magnesium to make the GMW last longer, a fine shovel for Acid Pit, and spent 2 PP for another wand of Heightened Awareness.
Took Quicken and Spell Penetration for my feats. And added Acid Pit and Break Enchantment to my book in case someone wants to copy those at the start of part 3.

@DM: Did we happen to recover a gem worth at least 1,400 gp this adventure amongst all the loot?
Also: Ho-lee shit, I now go all the way up to 11!

![]() |

Torvald has made some gear changes.
He has sold his adamantine longspear for half price and purchased an adamantine greatsword. Fighting with a reach weapon from the back of a companion who doesn't have reach is becoming awkward. He has purchased the opalescent white pyramid to gain proficiency and slotted it into his wayfinder for free weapon focus.
He has also bought a new cure light wounds wand with prestige as the old one only has a few charges left.
Day Job: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23, minimum 25gp or 50gp if he manages to cross off another box on his faction card this adventure.

I think given that we have travel time it would make sense to use commune. I have some questions I normally like to ask but others are also free to suggest ones. We get 10 questions but bear in mind we get yes/no or very short answers. I plan to ask the following but am happy to change:
In our explorations of Whistledown and the tomb of the concubine Kamilah are we likely to encounter any:
Evil outsiders
Undead
(If yes) any Incorporeal Undead
Dragons
Constructs
Fey
Is the tomb of Kamilah within the bounds of Whistledown?
Is the tomb of Kamilah occupied by any creature?
Are Kamilah's remains still inside her tomb?
This leaves at least two, possibly three, questions open if people have suggestions.

GM Skipper |

Evil outsiders: No
Undead: Yes
(If yes) any Incorporeal Undead: No
Dragons: No
Constructs: No
Fey: Unclear
Is the tomb of Kamilah within the bounds of Whistledown?: No
Is the tomb of Kamilah occupied by any creature?: Yes
Are Kamilah's remains still inside her tomb?: Yes
That leaves 1 question, if I'm not mistaken.

Isn't it obvious?
Is Kamilah's restless remains one of the creatures occupying the tomb?

Eolowyn is now level 10.
Purchases:
Upgrade +1 holy composite longbow to +2 holy composite longbow
Headband of Inspired Wisdom +2
Question: Are Kamilah's silver ring and her sword Desert Raven in the tomb?

![]() |

I have spell resistance now!

I'll have to pick a replacement for one of the GMW then.
For anyone who isn't aware it has been 'clarified' that while ranged weapons confer magic and special abilities to their ammo they do not confer the ability to bypass DR via high bonuses. So a straight +5 bow fires arrows that only bypass DR magic.Of course GMW bypasses nothing anyway.
The good news is they did finally allow a free exchange of those bonuses for abilities. So for example you can switch a +2 bow to a +1 seeking bow or a +3 to a +1 Holy.
Post is here.

![]() |

GMW lets you bypass DR/Magic but nothing else. If you have a spare GMW I can free up a level 4 spell slot for something more useful like Blessing of Fervour. You can also use my extend rod on it so it should last 20+ hours as its 3rd level for you.

![]() |

If you have a better enhancement bonus that costs +1 please let me know.
Problem with the elemental damage contributors is that they only add 1d6, which won't be enough for most things with any resistance. That's why I decided on just the +2, works all the time.
While typing this: I am stupid: evil outsider bane fits my character perfectly!

![]() |

I wasn't complaining about your choice to add an extra +1, Just wanted to be sure you knew the ruling. My Ranger converted his +3 bow into a +1 Holy bow.
This is a fairly comprehensive list of options.

![]() |

Assuming someone has a spare extend rod Nuar will again cast GMW on the bow and 2 Kukris 20 hours. Still just +2.
He'll cast some other buffs when we enter the tomb.

![]() |

Since we know there are no incorporeal undead I can dump the chain and take another GMW. I would need a 4th extend charge if you want it all day.

![]() |

Bauble can spare a charge on his rod. He just uses it for the Keen enchantment. Magus do not have many long term spells.

![]() |

My spell list for the day.
lvl 5 - Overland Flight CL 10, Life Bubble CL 10, 2x Fireball (swift action) 10d6 +25, Fireball (Empowered & Intensified) 14d6 +50% +47 DC 24
lvl 4 - Dimension Door CL 10, Dimensional Anchor CL 10, 3x Fireball (Empowered & Intensified) 14d6 +50% +47 DC 24, Acid Pit CL 10 DC 23 Ref
lvl 3 - 2x Haste CL 10, Greater Magic Weapon x4 CL 10
lvl 2 - Glitterdust CL 10 DC 21 Will, 3x Burst of Radiance CL 11 5d4 +10, False Life CL 10, Scorching Ray CL 12 4d6 +13 and 4d6 +8 x2
lvl 1 - 3x Magic Missile CL 11 5d4 + 15, 2x Liberating Command CL 10, Feather Fall CL 10, 2x Mage Armor CL 10
lvl 0 - Detect Magic, Read Magic, Prestidigitation, Mending
That leaves me with 4 big fireballs and 2 swift ones.
I'll cast 4 extended greater magic weapon in the morning for 2 Kukri, The bow, and Torvald's spear.
And assuming nothing causes major delays I'll be casting Mage Armor, Overland Flight, and False Life: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 before we enter the tomb. I'll also cast Life Bubble covering 6 PCs, 2 Roc's, and Qadathra for 2 hours each with a 3rd hour for Nuar and Bauble.
I'm ready.

I just noticed that the opalescent white pyramid can be keyed to any type of weapon, including exotic so have switched it up to the elven curved blade.

![]() |

Bauble would like to snag Dispel Magic from Naur's spellbook between adventures. You can check out his spellbook and pick whatever you want from his. Would that be OK?

![]() |

GM Iff, Please note the Dispel Magic pick up on the Chronicle sheet. Should cost 90 gp.

Buff list updated and ready to roll.
