I may not be available to post at all tomorrow.
Let's see how the damage numbers play out, but theoretically Anneka can stand outside the room and use her reach metamagic rod to cast heal on Drazh (140 hp up to two times).
Anneka is getting quite a lot of practice keeping us all alive. :)
Yeah theres a lot of loot in this place but it's dangerous, the party can get what they need and get out of dodge or stick around and take the risk.
Still you have what the half demons wanted, hopefully they'll stick to their end of the bargain.
Well we can swap with those half-demons, then see what condition we're in.
As for soothing performance, it was a pretty good time to remember I could do it. :)
Yeah, but remember that they have that emaciated prisoner that we're going to get out of there.
Good reminder. They had best give him up.
Those pesky half demons will always spring on an opportunity to undermine their foes. If you keep asking for stuff then they'll keep pointing you at enemies. At this stage its a win win for them, if you die they don't have to worry about you, if you kill the other department it's all good.
...and though they'd be tempted to renege on the deal well lets be honest after you've cleared two wings they'll probably think twice. One, maybe ye got lucky... but two? Might be best to stick to arrangements. No harm in making very logical arrangements to get you to do their dirty work. -I mean mutually beneficial wet work.
It's a bit tricky. We could make the case that "it's wrong, so just stop doing it, and we don't need to pay you to stop doing it," but realistically, we're dealing with creatures that won't stop doing it for free. Plus, what they're asking us to do is a "good" thing for us to do anyway.
Or how quickly they get thrown to the wolves.
RIP Ze'ev.

Eh, Ze'ev will be fine. ;)
Creydon is out of 5th level spells and nearly out of bardic perfomance rounds. He's up for a decent snooze and is inclined to kill more evil things for loot. He doesn't trust the literal half-demons though.
A little surprisingly your rest is unhindered and uninterrupted... if you weren't in a lair of ancient and powerful mages it might even be pleasant.
So I assumed ye had rested!
Oh, right! We already have rested! Sorry.
To all my games: unfortunately I've come down with the flu. Please bot me as needed this week. Thank you!

My best wishes to Anneka's and Drazh's son's white blood cells.

Hi guys, sorry I fell out of sorts after contracting the flu. I'm feeling better now and have enough energy to enjoy things again. I'll work on catching up ASAP.
Have we had a full night's rest since fighting the undead things? Also, is anyone in need of immediate healing?

Yes!
Also, is anyone in need of immediate healing?
I think we're assuming Anneka-bot already took care of it.
Welcome back!
What Marten said.
Yeah, that makes sense! Creydon is laying out a starting plan for how he'll help us all not die.
Apologies for delay. This week has been tricky for me getting to update pbp.
Shame on me for not mentioning this before, but Anneka's build allows for a peculiar tactic here.
She can cast silence on herself, preventing spellcasting with verbal components in the area for the duration. Cast on herself, it does not permit an opposed save by the wizard. With silent spell provided by her curse, she can continue casting at leisure. Of course, this could also shut down Marten's, Creydon's, and Azalia's spellcasting in subsequent rounds. But it also means that, unless he also happens to have the silent spell feat, Orikdon won't be able to cast (certainly not disintegrate or dimension door, as both require verbal).
What do you guys think?
Marten can get back out of Anneka's silence range and snipe (both verbally and magically), no problem!
Sounds good to me. :)
I'm game!

By the way, Forgetting Until The Last Minute is an excellent anti-scrying strategy. Well done.
Orkidon is weird.
...its like he discovered a transmutation version of becoming a lich, not evil but crushing your creativity. Still immortality is pretty useful.
Did he have any counters to Anneka's silence spell? We downed him before he could do much.
Anyway, Loot!
Staff of mithrol might
Cloak of resistance +1
Pearl of power (2nd level)
Rod of metal and mineral detection
500 gp in diamond dust
The research books scattered around this room are worth a total of 10,000 gp. (+5 circumstance bonus on all Knowledge (arcana) and Knowledge (religion) checks made regarding transmutation and constructs.)
Also present here are Ordikon's spellbooks
I'm going to claim the diamond dust, but that's for party use; Marten's just hanging on to it. He's already got 750 gp worth of diamond dust for the same purpose.
Obviously, Orkidon's spellbooks, but anyone is welcome to them.
Kevin, can we assume that all of this research material we're finding can be sold to The Acadamae, but Marten would still have access to them?
A heads up. I'll be at a con for most of today and playing D&D for most of tomorrow.

...Good point on the research materials.
He had no hard counters aside from moving outside the area. Disentegrate would have been a hard counter if it had worked.
Sorry guys fate did not favour you. Ye can try again as much as ye want but there are negative results as well as positive as you can see.
No worries. We got...greedy. ;)

Hi! I'm moving. I'll be unable to post this week, will be in my new place by the end of the week, and will post as soon as we've got the internet up and running sometime during the first week of March.
Sorry for holding up the game, and thanks for understanding. Bot or skip me as needed.
Thanks!
Best of luck with the move, Ferocia!
From necromancy and transmutation ye could make a Parasitic/Symbiotic (opposes enchantment) Runeforged weapon. Making an item runeforged is a +2 bonus.

I still have my mundane Cold Iron Dwarven Waraxe from way back at character creation! Could make that into one.
Is there a Forge around here? I’d like to make it into a hammer. I have so many feats and class abilities dependent on hammer use that wasn’t planned for back then...
...edit: the fabrication room! Could bring the axe in there. Fabricate the tools I need, make it into a hammer, and then take it out to be runeforged. Right ?

What do we need an opposed-to-enchantment weapon for?
And apologies if I'm forgetting, but do we already have an opposed-to-transmutation weapon, or do we just have the means to make one?

Oh, good call!
To make an anti transmutation one you need enchantment (which you have) and illussion.
...you don't need anti enchantment you just have all of the parts now as it turns out.
@Drazh that sounds good.

Ok. So it’s best to make mundane items into runeforged weapons. With the fabrication room I can use craft weapons so long as I have the raw materials to bring in.
What weapons shall we make into runeforged?
I can have a hammer.
Azalea can have a bow.
Marten, Creydon, Anneka and Ferocia don’t really use weapons...

Oh, we need both. I hadn't realized that.
Marten's good with no weapons.

It's aligned with too many personality flaws already! We couldn't hope to contain such power!
Either now or after Runeforge is over, I'd be interested in knowing what these penalties and bonuses affecting Creydon, Azalia, and Marten are all about.
Those penalties are certainly worth looking into!
As for weapons, Creydon has blades but almost exclusively uses whips and shields.
