Alana looks good. You don't think I would need to detect poison for doors that are trapped?

Looks viable to me.

I'm good with it

That is everyone, BRVHEART, let me know if you want to discuss any of the points, or if you are good with them. We can practice on the next door and the remaining chest in the room that was not disarmed.

Also, team, if anyone wants to add, just pipe up here in discussion and we can do a short period of Q&A or just give or withhold consent to update.

Hmmm When someone's picking a trap I need to be right behind him if possible so I can cat neutralize poison quick/

Sounds good, when we back off as a group for the ranged legerdemain, you can be the one nearest to Silvash just in case he needs your spells.

if the trap reset can we just summon something to set it off?

I do not have any summoning spells except for pit :(

I do not have any summoning spells except for pit :(

soooo.... let's put a pit under the door?

:)

Can you make the pit run horizontal to bypass the door?

Unfortunately, no, but the idea of placing half under one side and half under the other is a novel concept...we just have to get around the whole 30 foot drop and the angled sides that require a save or fall back in.

So in theory, could we create a hole below a door or a wall, lower ourselves into the hole, move to the other side of the hole, then remove/delete the hole and be on the other side of the wall or door?

The idea has merit as I just recalled it is a cancellable spell, but there are a couple of limitations I am sure the DM will point out. First, it is only 10 feet by 10 feet, so only two PCs will be on that side of the pit when it is dismissed. Second, we do not know how think any given wall is, so it may not work under walls at all.

Which spell is this? I have to be stupid, but I don't see the spell in pathfinder

It is create pit, I was just short handing it's name

Hey guys, if we decide not to go through the door, you can ignore my last post. I will be away from the computer for most of today, so it is there is we decide to go through.

My two cents worth, unless Silvash cannot undo the trap, I would rather go through the door.

Earlier someone mentioned about not leaving things behind us...

did anyone ID the trap yet to see what it does?

Well I accidentally posted my disarm in here and got a 32 and then when I posted in gameplay a roll a 1. Nice knowing you all. :)

DR 5/evil means that evil weapons bypass the DR. So unless the weapon wielders have unholy weapons the DR applies. The demon/devil will bypass as their natural attacks are evil.

Thanks, so the damage résistance applies to all attacks except for ones that are specifically evil, ie evil weapons or evil natural attacks.

I thought that it might mean only attacks from evil.

Alana, can't you still use your exploits? Dimensional Slide is an Su ability and doesn't say anything about a vocal component.

Tiss true, but I have to see my target and the door spaces are all taken.

Silvash, here are the spells I have to swap with you, can you provide the same?

1st: Mage Armor, Ear Piercing Scream, Protection from Evil, Floating Disk, Enlarge Person, Reduce Person, Detect Secret Doors, Vanish, Liberating Command,
Air Bubble, Stunning Barrier
2nd: Burst of Radiance, Create Pit, Flaming Sphere, Glitterdust, Scorching Ray
3rd: Fireball, Haste, Fly, Battering Blast, Dispel Magic

I am going to try and learn the following now that we are back at the castle from our new scroll:

Rage, Rope Trick, Shocking Grasp

the spell book we found had only two spells, Contagion and Dispel magic

I'm working on the party mule list to sell of the items. Does anyone want to keep the + 2 light steel shield or the +1 light wooden shield of arrow deflection.

Also is everyone good with going back to level three, (through level 2) then going back to the tunnel and return to level 4 at a new entry spot? We can do the rest of 4 and the secret level off of Max's lair. Hopefully we can get to level 8 and try the temple again.

Hey troops,
Alana, Elathras and I discussed combat tactics for the last combat.
1)Don't get separated! This really hurt us.
2)Don't stop at the door!!!We got trapped in the hall because we couldn't
kill the others fast enough.
3)Alana and I will buff everybody that we can before we open the door.
(Prayer, Aid, Bull's Strength, Bear's Endurance, etc..)
4)Elathras is going to get the strength belt while in town.
5)I'll cast protection from evil on as many as I can.
6)Alana will focus on the cannon fodder clerics, while those who hit
better will work on the main cleric.
7) Marthac, Cuthlanian, and I will work on the demon when he appears.
Cuthalanian do you want the +1 holy spear to use? give you an extra 2d6 holy damage when you hit.

Please make any suggestions.

Can you scribe cleric spells? Or how are cleric scrolls made?

if nothing else Thoron we can purchase the scrolls out of the group kitty.

edit: Wow, did not realize the value on the 'Mantle of Faith.' I appreciate everyone letting Elathras wear it, but should we sell it?

Silvash, you haven't claimed anything, if nothing else, do you want Elathras' share to spend?

edit #2 of course we could just let Silvash keep the ring...

Cuthalian, would you sell me your + 1 breastplate at the 675 gp. resale value, so we can give it to Marthek?

Good idea Alana, a wand of lesser restoration will cost 4500 gp. another wand of cure light wounds, another 750 gp leaving 708 gp for potions. Lets do 14 cure light wounds potions to split up between us all.

the two wands Elathas purchased will go to the group as well

This is what we purchased the last time for the group when we were in town, did anyone happen to put it in their inventory? I totally forgot about them.

...not counting the teak box that was showing magical but we never sorted out what and the limited wish ring.

So also found the teak box, can we sort it out as well.

He's a springy fellow as well. He could have the boots of the frog.

No need to sell the mantle if it helps you.

You can run past allies if going through doors. What jammed us up is when the clerics closed the distance and hemmed Silvash in. Perhaps if one of you could cast protection from energy fire on the lead man and then drop a fireball on the clerics who rush him at the door.

If I can have a few rounds of prep, I can be much more dangerous in the fight. I will save my bane feature for the demon.

we are selling the wands of Cause light wounds aye?

yes to the wands of cause wounds

Cuthalian do you want the spear +1 (holy) to use on the demon?

Perhaps if one of you could cast protection from energy fire on the lead man and then drop a fireball on the clerics who rush him at the door.

I will have my rod of selective spell in my hand for the next time we try this temple and it allows me to deselect up to several folks. Communal protection from fire will be useful for when the opposing spell caster sends one our way.

Confirmed. Although, I used the scroll to transcribe two spells into my spell book, so they are used: Shocking Grasp and Rope Trick (Silvash, add them to the list you can learn from me).

I think the teak box may have had a trap on it we could not disarm at the time, so it was left unopened, but it has been awhile and I could be misremembering.

Oh yeah, you got a couple I would like to make a try at, will post those tries in the game side for dice rolling. Transcribing is not difficult, you have to cast Read Magic to understand the spell, then make a Spellcraft check DC 15+level of the spell to add to your spellbook. Will need to check with BRV if he wants us to track our pages closely, it is not an issue at lower levels, but around 4th to 5th spell level we would normally fill our first book. There is also a small cost to add the spell to a spell book, there is a chart and the complete rule set at this link: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/Magic/#TOC-Adding-Spells-to-a-Wizard-s-Spellbo

Thanks for the rundown Alana. I knew I wasn't getting free spells or feats, but I will be able to cast third level spells. I'll probably grab haste from you and fireball.

EDIT:If the check fails, the wizard cannot understand or copy the spell. He cannot attempt to learn or copy that spell again until one week has passed.

we are selling the wands of Cause light wounds aye?

yes, they are on the list.

brv, any recollection on the teak box?

Any requests for crafting? Alana can start that right away after our return to the fort. Will take one day for every 1000 GP cost of an item.

How about making matching Amulet of Natural Armor for everyone :)

They will take two days a piece and cost 1000 GP each, who needs one?

Elathras would pay for both an Amulet of Natural Armor and a Ring of Protection.

So went and took a look:

Alana has an Amulet of Natural armor but not a Ring of Protection
Marthek has neither a Ring of Protection or an Amulet of Natural Armor
Cuthalian has an Amulet of Natural Armor but not a Ring of Protection
Thoron has a Ring of Protection, but not an Amulet of Natural Armor
Elathras has neither a Ring of Protection or an Amulet of Natural Armor
Silvash has Ring of Protection but not an Amulet of Natural Armor

Hey Brv, Elathras gave Marthek the Cloak of Resistance and the MW Silver Greatsword, Would he rather have the + 1 longsword? if not I will add it to the inventory to be sold.

While Alana crafts stuff, who wants to go to town and sell stuff and place orders? Cuthalian, you want to add magic to the mitheral shirt?

Hey brv,

The last time we were here, Elathras inferred that we should hire the workers to repair the towers. We had 5,258.71 gp. remaining, after purchasing supplies and steel for the fort. Would that have been enough to pay for the repairs to the towers?

Once the towers are being repaired, is there any other major expenditures for the fort?

Once they move toward the town Cuthalian intends to get his armor enchanted to +2 (4000). That eats up most of my savings at this point. Depending on how much we get from our haul I will look at funding a ring of protection via Alana.

Elathras, when you were figuring our take, did you account for my +1 Breast Plate? If someone else can use it, great. If not, we can sell it off to split between us.

@Thoron: I don't need the spear. I think it would be better wielded by Marthek. I only get one attack per round. If he does not want it, I'll take it for this fight anyway.

Looks like we will get about 3,000gp from this latest haul?
