That domain is fine, as is the spell.
I could try to entangle the roof, not sure that would keep him from killing the guy though..
Actions done. Waiting for results of the actions in question.
Since we're doing it THIS way...what we need to do, assuming my actions failed, is to stop the kidnapper from killing Gelik - probably by disabling him (Go Hideous laughter, Daze).
Ideally Barton could have gotten the grease up on Gelik before I started with liberating command (that would be a +18 to escape artist)- but again - maybe it's better he's free for another chance to disable the kidnapper. In case he tries to grapple Gelik again.
I think this would count as in combat so charm person would be out of question - unless you don't mind the +5 on target will save.
After that - Malok - you can spend a full round action summon an air elemental - give it orders to whirlwind, get Gelik to willingly fail the save, so the air elemental in question whirlwinds in, and out, and as a free action, drops Gelik at our feet.
I don't really care what happens to the kidnapper to be honest. I don't have any urge to kill him. The job was to get Gelik out.
The issue is that it takes place at level 4, which is one level below when wizards actually the fly spell. And most people will NOT prepare levitate/spider climb on their prepared spell list, nor do I blame them since it's too situational.
Gelik is tied up with plenty of rope.
Well that's going to be a pain in da @rse since it takes 1 min to get out of ropes using escape artist.
Again...there's something called scorching ray...
Are the ropes tying Gelik up tied to anything?
OK, let's rewind a bit before we get the prisoner killed. There is no way to get within 35' of Gelik from the ground. He also is sporting a big shiner (black eye) and looks to have had the stuffing beat out of him, so he's obviously in bad shape.
The guy on the roof is ranting about all manner of things, but they make a rather limited amount of sense. Lalali's entreaties seem to merely rile him some more.
As there is a crowd around here to witness the spectacle, you are just faces in a crowd to Umgaro.
Ok - are there any ways up the roof that Ivar was looking for? He made perception checks for that.
Since Gelik is tied up with ropes - are the ropes attached to anything -i.e Umgaro or a pole or anything?
How close can we get to Gelik and Umgaro?
He is only bound with ropes, not tied to anything.
There is no visible means of climbing to the roof. You do see an open hatch up there, about 30' from the ranter. It's a reasonable assumption that it's pretty easy to get on the roof that way.
You can get about 50' from him without breaking line of sight.
So how close is the party from the ranter at this point of time, and how close is the hatch to Umgaro?
As stated above, the hatch is 30' from Umgaro. You need to decide where you're standing, but there's a crowd outside along the fence listening to the rant (mostly in the NE corner of the map). The map shows the fence.
Lol I thought the ranter was a building structure as opposed to the guy ranting. I don't know much about building terminology and it shows.
Now for the fun part. Can we see how to access the hatch?
No, all you can see of the hatch is the top of it. You assume there's a way to it from inside.
Suggest those who need to be up close enter the building where the hatch is on.
Try to find the hatch entrance. I'll stay out here.
If you want to yak, go ahead but I won't yak because of my Lawful alignment. Whatever promise I end up making to him I'll have to keep. And I don't care for destabilizing order by caving in to essentially a terrorist's demands.
How close is gnome from roof edge, also?
Calm emotions + air elemental still applies, except we may want to get air elemental to carry(grapple and move) Gelik instead of the faster option of whirlwind down.
Was considering air elemental bull rush +featherfall, but the 35 ft range might be
an issue.
Yes! The sweet, sweet sound of plot moving! Hip, hip, hurrah!
As Robert can attest... I suffer from Pbp ADHD. Always need to be doing something.
True, so true...
Oh dear. Probably better to wait for Lali to say that we ran into company. Though I can't comment on company either since I don't see what Barton sees...
You know there are stairs you can take up, but to use them would mean you would not be able to hide.
Just a couple of mooks, how bad could it be?
Do you really want to ask that?
You saw Barton wander off. You have no indication from where you are as to what he is doing or what is happening.
Yes! The sweet, sweet sound of plot moving! Hip, hip, hurrah!
As Robert can attest... I suffer from Pbp ADHD. Always need to be doing something.
That´s fine unless you take over the whole plot and make decisions on your own or force them. I had a player like that once and it was one of the worst experiences i ever had.
Done, sorry if anyone was waiting for me. My apologies, but I think most of the fun happens while I'm asleep. I'll just have to catch up in the morning :)
I'll be traveling to Europe for the next 10 days. I should have connectivity and be able to post, but if I lag and am holding anything up just bot me as needed.
Hello,
the next 2 weeks i will have scarce to no internet access.
Please bot as needed.
Diplomatic siutations are obviously not the groups strong point.. Next time we kill the hostage too I think and move on lol..
I shouldn't have to point out that Diplomacy is not Dominate, nor is Charm Person. The guy was willing to share the glory of offing the interloper with you, but there was basically no way he wasn't going to do it himself. The spell makes you a friend, not his boss.
Been on a trip this weekend and don't have my laptop with me. Will be home tonight and update.
I'll be on vacation on 6th October to 9th October to hike in the jungle.
I will have very limited internet access during those days, since there is no wifi in the jungle and only when I am at my room in guesthouse at night and in the morning will I have internet access(which is likely to be spotty), so my apologies in advance.
I'll bot you as needed.
Though I'll be on a vacation 7th to 15th, so I might be a bit spotty myself. I will have wifi access, so I will likely keep up the posting.
Thanks. But I'm doing the RL version of Serpents skull^^
Except I'd probably be some silly multiclass ranger/wizard in pathfinder if pathfinder classes were allowed...
Grab anything you like heh. I'm not the lewt greedy type.
Bart is fine with Ivar taking the breastplate.
The adventure has a provision for it, if a cheesy one.
Did we miss something?
Smoke signals? Big drums?
No when you get there, there's a solution which I will mock as it appears as is my nature.
