Yep.

Yup

Im late to the yes pary but yes yes!

Sigrun would have had someone who could use it give her a little healing with the wand.

1d8 ⇒ 7
1d8 ⇒ 2
1d8 ⇒ 6

+7 healed from rest +22 healed. I'll heal the rest when I rage.

healing wand1: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
healing wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
rest heals? 7
for a total of 20 .... pst Sigrun the wand should have a plus one on each charge at minimum

Thanks. So 25 healed.

You've taken one of the more interesting routes in this dungeon. I'm curious to see how you proceed here. ;-)

None of those effects are good for halflings, FYI.

Heh. You've located one of the setpiece areas of the dungeon. For the record, this isn't even the nastiest room. ;-)

I can save pretty easily, but those are some nasty effects. I guess we wait to see if Zses is willing to get old.

Eh, I'm not really keen on that: Zses just got his memories back, giving up most of his lifetime to go down a flight of stairs isn't really that attracting of an offer. D:

First of all, we could leave this part alone until we find what's at the end of the stairs: we could ask the ghost-witch when we meet her again.
As far as bypassing the stuff, the spoiler says that by saying the formula I temporarily deactivate the runes, but I get turned into an old man only if I say that for all five of the runes: I think we could blow up/deactivate one, and I can bypass the rest by saying the formulas.

I mean, this is all moot as no one has Linguistics as a skill: it's trained only, so we can't find out about the ritual. :/

Good point. You can't do it if you don't know it, let's get this level clear then worry about these stairs.

had we only saved the naked giant we could have pushed him down teh stairs >.>

unfortunately they trigger for each creature passing or I could totally summon Rocky to go take a hit for us.

Yea, I can probably risk disabling 1 or 2 of them. We can come back when one of us has linguistics.

"and will trigger whenever someone passes the corresponding step"

Would there be anyway to figure out if they immediately go off on everyone when multiple people pass them or if there'd be a cooldown?

They auto-reset without a cooldown.

Okay then we shove everyone into the bag of holding and have Neverhome run it.

Haha. And have the Dispells ready, eh?

I recommend we clear the level first. This seems like a transition to a different area of the dungeon.

*nods*

Random Question: is the Migrus still following Neverhome around? It might become relevant later.

Yes!

Poor Noise, I almost forgot about the little guy.

If everyone's decided to avoid the stairs for the time being, I'll need to know where you're heading instead. :-)

Off-the-record: the bag of holding idea is rather clever.

:3

*Posted to all my games*
At the moment, Kats and I are in the Hurricane Matthew danger zone and may be evacuating early tomorrow morning. If you don't hear from me for a couple days, that's the reason.

*channels positive feelings*

Hope you two stay safe.

Yup, take care!

you guys be super safe, hurricanes are not nice no no no... well maybe the drink hurricanes are nice, but only in small doses.... three or four are liable to be bad for you too *nods nods*

Apparently our +5 hurricane-bane apartment was a good investment. We didn't even lose power. :-)

Now we can get back to gameplay. What's the plan?

Attempt to walk past her without disturbing her meditation?

we can try that, at worst Silence goes all silly felinerai and gets himself in over his head with a duel >.>

Sounds epic to me!

In the room with the evil witch runes, then once in position friend neverhome can kick then down the stairs through them all yell8ng about this being sparta or something?

It'll be interesting that's for sure.

Just a reminder that nothing happens until people move the scene forward in Gameplay. ;-)

Heh

@Sigrun: that's correct; you got hit twice. I completely forgot about Barbarian DR. :-(

@Silence: No reach, but the rest of your assessment is correct. She managed to hit everyone last round via the "5ft-step during a full-attack" option.

So im gonna run a thing maybe you can check it out here if you would like if not no worries >^.^<

Posting this in all the games I'm in: I'll be without internet connection for the next three or so days, so bot me as necessary.

So who would be carrying the Black Blade?

Neverhome (TN), Silence (LN), Hobbes (NG), and Hila (N?) could hold it without gaining a Negative Level.

Wielding on the other hand,

Hobbes can't without size penalties.

Hila can't unless she starts pulling some Great Wolf Sif shenanigans.

Silence's stuff requires he uses Samurai weapons.

And Neverhome is "built" around using two-handers.

I was going to look into with the next level and well dm's permission going for a more dual wielding approach.

Switching out say mounted combat for two weapon fighting, my next feat could be used for two weapon defense or weapon focus scimitar. (unless the Dm wants to be super cool and decide that scimitars, as a curved slashing style blade are simular enough to katanas also a curved slashing style blade that weapon focus katana counts for it too.)

And its not entirely requiered to use samurai weapons.. just the free feats I get for being a samurai all have to be based off of them. For intstance at level 3 i got weapon expertise as a class skill...but it had to be selected for a samurai style weapon so its not a total hit to my abilities.

Silence could totally pull it off with the lease amount of shennanigans, but if you guys have better ideas im okay with that too.

>^.^<

Let Percy carry it. The Ego battles should be interesting. :P

While that would be amusing I don't think you'd appreciate the Negative Level.

Hmm, going off what Silence said, can it change into another weapon?

Were any of you planning on USING the black blade? As long as it remains mostly for flavor, you won't have to deal with negative levels and ego battles.

*shrugs*

Maybe? In the terms of magical weapons it's the strongest one we got right now.

Well there's those 2 ghost touch long swords (why is it always longswords?), Emberchill (who has that?), and speaking of, do we still have those Hyperboreal robes?

There's also that giant-bane weapon y'all found earlier in Artrosa. :-) Don't worry: your weapon deficiencies will be addressed soon.

Ah yeah, Sigrun has a Giant Spleen Slayer now.

Yeah I love the Giantbane since it also works on trolls and ogres and I'm sure we'll be seeing more giants in our future.
