Not a problem GM. Stay safe.
I don't play Kung smart enough to suggest this in-character, but I don't see any reason we couldn't hole up here overnight to prepare the best spells for going in.
Seems reasonable. We don't have a great deal of flexibility in our spells but we may as well maximise what we do have.
As I told you, it can't get through the shaft. Resting is no problem.
No update tonight sorry.
It's immune to mind affecting....great. That's at least half of my most effective spells
I think it's immune or resistant to all of my damaging spells as well. This may just be down to straight melee.
:)
That was the sort of thing I'd hoped to avoid, but it looks like Kung and I are going to have to try and liquidise it.

Callie and I will do cheerleading! *switches to short skirt* Go team!
Sorry, too busy to update tonight.
Same again sadly.
21:30 when I finally got home!
No update again, hopefully things will return to normal tomorrow.
Things are settled finally, but I'm knackered right now.
Back to the business on Monday.
No problem GM!
I've been invited out to be social, so no update sorry.
No update tonight due to lack of sleep.
How's everyone doing? This table seems to have slowed down a bit. Completely understandable given the pandemic and the recent violent unrest in the US. Just wanted to check to see if everyone's interest-level is still there, and maybe see if we can't perk it up a bit if we confirm we're all still in this!
I'm OK, just hoping that our DM is all right!
I'm pretty good actually, things are a bit hectic down here in New Zealand, but in a good way. We've just gone to level one and the numbers of infected aren't changing.
It does make me busy as businesses start moving again.
Will post in a few hours. Sorry
I'm still here, still in lockdown, though it should be easing a little in the near future.
I think it's just slowed down a little as we've come to a somewhat challenging bit and it's hard to make plans quickly via PBP.
No time to update tonight I'm afraid.
And it's the same sorry.
No problems GM. Hope you're getting on OK outside of lockdown, though I hear that we in the UK recently broke your streak of no new cases.
That's good to hear. It's a bit hectic at the moment. Everything slammed to a halt with the lockdown. When I went out for my evening walk if there weren't lights on in the houses it would have felt like a ghost town.
Now things are lurching into motion again and while people are still being careful there is what feels like crowds everywhere.
Busy week continues. No update so have the day off. :(
I think we need more of a plan before just jumping in. This seems like a really difficult encounter. It sounds like it's going to get an AoO on everyone (if it has Combat Reflexes).
Do we really not have any blasting we can drop on it before we go down?
Is it worth it to have Kung try a few shots from his bow?
@GM Have we taken damage from forbiddance yet, or is that just at the opening we drop through?
I literally have nothing that can affect this.
You can go back and change your spells, Dimension door, or Gaseous form to get in without being hammered.
You have fought ones from the same demon family a few rooms up, so you know they have DR/Lawful and immunity to cold & poison.
A spell to align weapons would be useful.
Druids do not get dimension door, gaseous form, or align weapon on their spell lists. I was not joking when I said that there is literally nothing that I can do.
We can't dimension door in because of the forbiddance or I'd have done that already.
I can do communal align weapon with my second Spell Kenning but that only really helps me and Kung. I don't think we have a lot of blasting or spell flexibility within the party sadly.
We're not that kind of spell casters. None of us is a blaster, the witch class doesn't get a ton of spells and not heavy on blasting, especially with the thematic ones I have.
I can try my Major Hex, it doesn't specify a size limit to the target, though I'm sure it'll make the save. I'll need to be within 30ft of it though
Good point on the Forbiddance.
Best bet is to Buff Kung to the gills, align weapons and attack. Have the spellcasters supporting with heals etc.
Not going to lie, this is a nasty fight.

Is it a strictly necessary fight? Is there some reason we can't just... go do something else and come back later with better spells and weapons?
You can do that if you wish. It's not going away anytime soon.
It is an Qlippoth Augnagar
Something I should have told when you returned to your ship, Mad Hettie is an Oracle and she has Knowledge Planes.
Yeah, good point. As far as I remember this is something of a side quest, so there's no real hurry to complete it right now.
We could ask Mad Hettie about this qlippoth, work out what we can find to make taking it on easier, then come back at some point.
I like this plan. Captain?
Would work for me
No objections. Kung's going to be confused about turning back at this point, but he'll get over it.
As I said, walking away won't hurt you at the moment. You are looking to find Harrigan and search of allies against Cheliax. So what is your next course?
Agreed, let's come back once we know more about what we're dealing with and what we need to kill it without it killing us back.
Next step I think is to go back to Quent, have a chat with Tessa about other people she might know to be enemies of Harrigan/Cheliax, then try to get them on side. We could also see if we can buy some kit that would help us take down the qlippoth +/- Captain Aiger's final (presumably undead) form.

You found Aiger's body at the top of the shaft. She ain't coming back. :)
In other funny news You can all level up to 12.
Oh yeah. Sorry, got too wrapped up in the qlippoth and forgot.
Woot!
That's a 5 then.

Tired, so tired. No update.
Sorry for going missing yesterday. Sadly I'm swamped at the moment, so no update tonight. Hopefully things will have settled tomorrow.
No problem; I still haven't rolled the new level into Kung's profile online. Since we're in a port, we should probably sell some gear, as well.
Good idea on selling loot.
Have Callidora & Niobe leveled up yet?
