Do you have access to the spell Cats Grace ? If so, then we can make the Belt of Dexterity +2. Our big hold up at the moment is specific spells and the ability to cast them.

As a reminder I will be away all day, headed out the door now. Alana will use her talents to help the group as they see fit. Standard spell list from character sheet. Will be back on around 7 PM tonight.

Ahhh thanks no I don't have that spell.

Hey gang, apologies for my absence, picked up a virus on the computer and tried to save it when not at work. I failed and had to rebuild. Catching up today.

oh my that isn't good. Hope everything is fixed now

I am fully factory reset...At least I remembered to save my documents, but I forgot my favorites...c'est la vie...

I actually do not know what an ogre spider is...just a really big specimen?

per the bestiary they're a variant of giant spiders, but they're huge in size and got lots of hit die. I would assume that their poison and so on will be ramped up as well.

huge spiders

hey guys do most of you log into the game during the week or the weekend? I seem to be on a different schedule than most of you, but I can adjust my time when I log on.

Both, I check the boards a lot, probably four or five times a day on both weekdays and weekends, so don't base your schedule on what I do...

i try to check it periodically throughout the week, weekday and weekend.

when i'm working i'm before work and after work. I'm not working currently so I'm on off and on all day. I don't have a smartphone so everything I do is on the computer and days where we are out of the house I check less. I am Eastern Standard time. That might be a difference for you as well.

Hmmm I'll have to check after dinner then. I've been checking several times a day, but usually stop just before dinner.

I have an afternoon shift on EST, so I check up to mid morning if I have nothing going on and then after I arrive home at night. I also check whenever I am not doing something else on the weekends.

I don't post much on the weekends. Usually just during the week.

Traveling over the next three days, not sure if I will get to post as it is a streamlined trip. Will be back before Friday morning. Bot me as needed.

I am back already, all is good...

Everyone have a good 4th!

For Sure!

We are dropping our last child at college over the next two days...I will be on the road almost the entire time and unable to post. Should be back in the full swing by Friday.

And I am back, ready to continue our journey!

Hehe that child of yours must be going to a college a long drive away. Glad you're back.

The only place in the state further away than that 8 hour trip is Key West, and he ain't going to school there!

LOL. Key West is subject to hurricanes!

Well, this is about a Clusterf*ck.

Sorry folks, I was thinking we go back in on second and get the XP for these skeletons, then finish the third floor, then head back to the fourth floor.

I thought I had shared the plan earlier, and was going to remind everyone the night before we got to RA. But we went from combating random encounters to RA itself, so no time to plan.

If you all want to fall back that's fine...

Thoron should be able to prepare daylight. We could withdraw, hold up somewhere safe and let him prep the spell for the morrow.

I would be in favor of that. I didn't realize you were going into an area in magical darkness.

Ok, I will just let you withdraw.

Well, Alana can also do quick study and swap out her Haste spell for Dispel Magic. If we want to do it after resting, she can still make it work, but she will need two rounds of the Haste to execute before opening the door. 1 round to pull out and put away the spellbook and one round fo the ability itself. Then she can cast it on the second round (cause she was able to pull out the book on round two of this combat, it is only a full round for the ability and a move action to put away the book leaving her the standard to cast).

Hey all! My son was hospitalized for his seizures on Sunday night. Hopefully we will be out on Tuesdays. If things are silent on my end that is why. Bot me as needed please.

Will do Silvash, take care of your boy. Prayerfully everything will be back to normal Tuesday.

oh my. Take care of him. Hope everything turns out OK.

Any update on your son Silvash? I hope he is well.

We had another trip to the ER today, this time by ambulance as he had a 2 minute drop seizure. I didn't know you could have a 2 minute drop seizure. That's not much for a grand mal seizue but the drops are usually only a few seconds. Sent us home and basically told us to ride it out.

Oh my gosh. Hopefully he'll get better.

That's the kind of seizure's my brother would have, two minute would be scary as all get out. I'm glad he's back home, hopefully the seizures will subside.

Hope everyone's ok. Haven't seen any recent activity. And remember to vote! for those in United States that is.

yeah, were in combat rounds and we're waiting on Thoron to act.

I thought it was Marthek's but I went anyway

I thought it was Marthek's but I went anyway

Your right in the init. order it is Marthek. But he didn't have Marthek go on his post on the 24th when he commented about elathras and Cuthalian.

I may be wrong, but I think Brv normally does his NPC's just before the BBEG so he can do the posts all at once.

Heck, give him a call and ask him :)

Marthek really cannot do anything where he is at so next round. Sorry, breathing problems again.

Get Well!

sorry I am focused on the election at present all

Hey I'm following it closely as well. As of Saturday morning it looks like Biden's going to win.

I will never understand the need for people (and I am married to one) to watch news shows all day long expecting something different, when you can still go about your life and check once or twice for those same updates, if any. it legitimately baffles me, but hey, I am also the guy that will not stand in line to get something from the store if I can just come back later and get it without the wait (often cheaper too).

I'm the same way. I check once or twice. And I don't have to have the latest or greatest of anything. Does get me wondering what that type of person gets out of it.

no issues with going over level three before returning to four, just as long as we stay away from any purple worms....I do not think they will improve our situation...
i.e. rest and remember spells specifically to take on the temple

Alana,

Brv said he would run us through some outdoor combat before we headed back in to help. That didn't happen. Whether we do or don't go after the worm what do you recommend we do?

I wouldn't want to go after that worm. Is there any other areas that we haven't been to besides the temple at the same level? Or we can go outside, but that can be risky as well.

We cleared the second level, the skeletons were all that was left here.

On the first level there is still this Pseudopod, after some fighting without injuring it we ran away

The third level had the big cave, the possible worm, we killed the priests and found the floating head that hit elathras' wisdom and the tomb of the elf girl. Brv said we hit most of everything, but I don't remember if he meant treasure or monsters or both.

We went to the fourth level when we got trapped by the door. If we go to the fourth level now it will be through the tunnel we came down and we don't know where it will put us at. If we go back through the trap door on the third level we cross the worms cave again.

We can always go back outside. I don't have a much of a preference, I just want to keep moving, after we search this room of course.
