Reign of Winter (Inactive)

Game Master Just a Mort

Basically how I do things is this - your min/level buffs wear out after 2 encounters. I can't be letting you carry them throughout the dungeon.

Your 10min/level buffs that have been casted after you were spat out from the frost worm gullet would have worn out, but Mr Whiskers is using extended(so they haven't yet), and Crummock has used enough buff slots to keep 10 min/level buffs running for like 15h straight, so I'm not telling you about them.

All my buffs were the one min per level type so, sixteen minutes. I was just checking.

That's how I'll roll from here more or less - your min/level buffs are gone every 2 fights.

Rounds/level or anything under a min duration will last 1 combat encounter.

Be serious, Einar - after you looted the Linnorms hoard, then started stripping of the armor off the doggies - that would take plenty of time.

Raise dead also has a casting time of 1 min, so that's 1 min gone too.

that's why I made the comment about looting or coming back, I knew it would be more that 15 min. if we started grabbing everything. Not a big deal, just asking.

True, it takes 1 minute to remove each suit of armor.

@Einar: Hurry up and 5', rage, get big, and full attack the red one :-P

And don't metagame your buffs either. You loot and you go along. After you leave, you don't turn back etc.

*Grouchy GM*

I'm off for lunch too.

And don't metagame your buffs either. You loot and you go along. After you leave, you don't turn back etc.

I'm not sure I understand, are you saying we shouldn't hurry along, knowing our spells won't last forever and their may be something to fight ahead? Then when the spells wear off come back to where it is safe to inventory the stuff we found?

I wouldn't call that Meta-gaming, that would just make sense. If you have buffs up, you deal with any possible threats while you have them. Then count stuff when you don't.

I won't give you any extra time - since time goes at the speed of plot, whether you loot or not. 1 min/level = 2 encounters. Anything less then that = 1 encounter.

*shrug*

that's cool, I just didn't understand the 'metagaming' reference. I really try not to metagame, so I wanted to make sure I was clear on what you were saying.

A hypoglycaemic GM is a testy GM. I hope you enjoy lunch :-)

I was eating lunch halfway... :P

But that's true in a way. There was a case I killed a PC, and I was hungry (it was at a con).

Time for bed.

Hope you all like my redecorating the dungeon! Getting good use out of that knowledge: Engineering to do bridges and such.

I'm going to think if you can actually do that to prevent the first round of damage of lava. Because it would have already happened.

*Makes a mental note to make sure that Mort is kept well fed, and hydrated, if he sits down to a table at a Con with her*

;-)

Feather Fall is an immediate action. Geist hadn't taken his action yet so he couldn't start falling.

Then it looks like Crummock rewound time so that I didn't have to use those spells.

Time to figure out what I did instead...

Oh my. Sorry this is funny, grabbing cats...

Anyway Mr Whiskers, please retcon your action since Geist doesn't need rescuing anymore.

We had an eid on the table with like 15 ft reach(I believe it has to do with large biped + reach evolution). He plucked the critter from in the room, and used the grab to reposition the critter right next to him, in range of all the melee beatsticks to full attack.

Note to self, get Quicken Spell at 17th level. There are so many things I could do with that.

I also have to find a good replacement for Irresistible Dance. I hadn't realized until I tried to use it that it was a touch spell.

Against the Fiendish fire giants Einars attacks are doing partial damage, I assume cold iron or good, or lawful isn't the DR.

Just hoping you didn't forget the world serpent spirit.

Also he gets + 3 to AC if they are outsiders from World serpent.

Crud I totally forgot about this:

"World Serpent Totem Unity"
While raging, the barbarian doubles her fast movement bonus to land speed and cannot be knocked prone. She also doubles her world serpent totem insight bonus to AC against attack rolls made by an outsider or aberration to confirm a critical hit against her.

Okay, I forgot about your DR/good. I will redo the damage.

I don't think I've even made a single attack roll against you, Einar ;-)

oh, also Einar is still wearing his eyes of deahwatch can he tell who is at deaths door? ;)

You cant see jack sh*t in the fog. Go in, and we can talk about it.

I'm sorry if you explained this, and in my ignorance I forgot to read it, the red 'bridge' is it normal or magma or what? Just trying to figure out how to help Crummock.

Red is the drawbridge. Go ahead and walk on it.

Crummock should be just fine ;-)

If you guys want to buff - you know, just buff before moving to the next area instead of you know, just ambling through?

you realize most games slow down on the weekends, I think this one actually picks up...

I'm free, you're free...everyone's free :P So why the hell not ;-)

Lol - But Crummock managed to find a way to slip in his airwalks...and remove fear.

Alternatively what you can do is this - give me basic boting instructions, like I want to cast XX, YY before the next fight.

Of course if they don't make sense like casting mirror image against creatures that have true seeing, I won't use them.

The problem is Einar is still thin on casts, he had to use a 4th level for the fly and only has tow 2nd level and one fourth level left, so he may be out of spells before we hit the Big Bad, he use three on the dragons, and really only needed fly...

Beg, borrow, steal from Crummock ;-) If he's got an airwalk for Greta, I'm sure he has one for you.

*Nods* If Einar wanted an Air Walk, he only had to ask :-)

why thank you kind sir, lets see what we run into after this ;)

That's what party members are for! To bum off!

your Eryines have potty mouths!

Ok, going to bed. When combat comes have Einar rage, enlarge and attack the Erinyes he is near. Hopefully she won't move so he can full attack her if not follow and attack. Or if moves out of range, and another is in range, have him attack her.

We are stopping after this fight.

Einar is low on spells. Mr. Whiskers is low on spells. Several people could use Restorations. Let's find a place we can reasonably defend and hole up.

Sorry - I won't allow you to stop at the BBEG door without consequences.

I personally feel it's very metagamey. Like you know neverwinter nights where you can rest every (what the heck?) god d@mn place. If you wanted to do it earlier, you could have.

hey, I'm low, but not out ;)

one low spell for mirror image, or something else, and one for a higher spell of some sort, and if I get two combats out of each spell I go in with flight.

but you and Crummock make he call, I'm supposed to be in bed...

I wanted to stop before this point but we kept being rushed forward.

If we don't stop, there are also likely to be consequences.

How many people in the group have negative levels?
* Mr. Whiskers has 1
* Greta has 3
* Dmitri? I think he has some, but don't remember

Dimitri has none. Only Greta and Mr Whiskers are having a bad day.

Grab works for up to creatures your size - I thought Geist didn't grab on fire giants because you were figuring you'd murderhobo everything anyway, so it's a waste of time.

The grab rules say the ability only works on creatures smaller than the monster, but the grab rules in Bestiary 2 say the ability works on creatures of up to the monster’s own size. Which is correct?

Bestiary 2 is the newer, updated version: grab works on creatures up to the size of the monster with the grab ability.

Who needs the wings? I don't think Einar can afford to take off the cloak of resistance. He would take one of the bows. Can Dimitri use the bracers or does he have something better already?

I don't think any of us can afford to take off our cloaks in exchange for the wings...

The bracers are equivalent to the Mage Armor that he currently has from Mr Whiskers.

Does Mr Whiskers want the Scroll of Greater Teleport, and the Wand of Invisibility (38 charges)...?

*cough* if Einar wants an Air Walk, now is the time to mention it ;-)[/Crummock

Mort said we get two fights out of a cast, so the 'fly' spell Einar cast should still be good. He still has one 4th level spell and one 2nd level spell left after the Mirror image, will probably cast shield when he rages and leave the last fourth for is something goes horribly wrong.

Can Dimitri or Greta use the wings?

Also does Greta want Einars MW Compound Bow (+4 str)?

Fair enough :-)

Dimitri already has a spiffy cloak, so he certainly doesn't want to trade it in. Greta should also have (at least) a +3 cloak, so I don't think she would be willing to trade it in...

I don't mind restoration being done as part of planar ally costs(since RAW SLAs do not require expensive material component, and summons can't do it but called creatures can), but if raise dead...eh...I think I would be a little twitchy about it.

Well, at least, RAW, you only have to give us the spells the Bestiary says they have prepared (even though, theoretically, since they are 'clerics', they could change their prepared spells); I had to look long and hard to find a suitable one that had Restoration prepared!

Also, they are *not* spell-likes - they are prepared spells, so they *do* have material component requirements.

Yeah but there are certain outsiders that do have raise dead as SLA. Really.

Sorry, your GM still has quite a bit of conjurer in her.

True, but I am trying not to break the GM ;-)

I appreciate that. I did study planar binding in the academy, afterall - though I never really put it to practice due to its nefarious reputation.

Yes Einar, all along I knew that even though Crummock(before he updated his sheet with raise dead), could raise Greta.

I just didn't want to do your thinking for you, since it's not in my place as a GM to do so.

Besides how would I know if you callous lots might just decide to finish the whole section without her? That would be a valid choice too.

Yes Einar, all along I knew that even though Crummock(before he updated his sheet with raise dead), could raise Greta.

Hey I had no idea what spells Crummock did or didn't have. I just know when Crummock puts his mind to do something he accomplishes it...
