Hope you feel better
Hi all, sorry for my disappearance. My mother has had a health emergency and things are not good; she’s now in Hospice care. I’m going to do my best to be as present as possible to finish this scenario—goodness knows I’ll relish the distraction at times—but there will likely be more unexpected absences along the way. Please don’t hesitate to bot me, and thanks for the understanding. I’ll start catching up in Gameplay tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that Kung. Best wishes for you and your family.
No update tonight sorry. Too tired.

I'm sorry to hear that Kung, my thoughts are with you and your family.
Sorry. No update tonight. I have to go out and be social. :(

Eugh, I hate when that happens.

Maybe Summon Nature's Ally 7 for Dire Shark or Giant Squid to give them something else to worry about?
Thursday has ambushed me again. Sorry no update tonight.
I have a single potion of invisibility. Unless we have another invisibility sphere or mass invisibility spell we aren't going to get on the ship without facing the other hazards without teleporting.
It would be a fight if you teleport to the ship. Get onto the deck and charge the captains cabin. Quicker if risky.
How does that sound to you guys? I'm probably best equipped to try holding off the crew while somebody goes to kill the captain.

I've still got both my uses of Spell Kenning for today, one of which could get us an invisibility sphere and the other of which should get us airborne in some way.
So Mass Fly or Teleport (Dimension door would leave us helpless during surprise round)
We also have 2 potions of invisibility on the loot sheet listed as Party treasure; we found them on the Abrogail's Fury.
So Mass Fly or Teleport (Dimension door would leave us helpless during surprise round)
dimension door only leaves the caster unable to act by my reading. Depends on how you interpret it but in the games I've run previously I've allowed passengers to act as the spell says "you can't take any other actions until your next turn" where you refers to the caster.
Depending on the GM's interpretation it might provide an easier route in than flying.
No time for updates tonight sorry.
I'm basically out of useful spells at this point. I'll try to see what I can do but I think I'm mostly gonna be dead weight—just so everyone knows what to expect!

You can always convert spells into summons though, right?
More bodies on the ground is always useful! Kung has sneak attack via his few rogue levels, but he never gets to use it; it's rare that Marnir and I are positioned well for that. Even if they die in 1 round, any summon provides a flank!
As we saw in the last encounter, converting a 3rd-level spell to a summon is useless at this level.
That's kind of a different case, though. If you pop a summon up behind the enemy as Kung is advancing, it gives Kung a flank.
That last situation we dropped the summon in the water where it was alone against some kind of demon, which put its full force against the summon, obliterating it. The demon didn't have Kung or Marnir on it's other flank to deal with at the same time.
Wellington is going to lockdown level 2 tonight. A person from Sydney who was in Wellington from June 19 - 21 was found to have Covid 19. So things are a little busy for me currently.
Sorry, no update tonight. Things should settle down soon. Been through this before.
Low level summons might not be combat-effective, but as Kung says they're a flanker, or a distraction, or a hit-point speed bump. They're not nothing, and if they can tie up some guards for a round or two then it's worth a shot.
Regards the approach plan, are we happy with a dimension door into the area between O and N on that little isthmus? It gets us close to the ship, bypasses the mansion, and reduces the amount of force that can be brought against us at once.
Yeah on the ship, it'll at least provide additional targets, mook grabbers, with a few lucky rolls, trippers in the case of wolves...or a bunch of low-level fire elementals that go for the sails, gunpowder, cannons etc.
I'm good with that, I'll be at least a few rounds until the things we bypass realize what's going on.

I'm all for dimension door
Same! Let's do it. :)
Too sick to update sorry.
And again sorry.
Hope you feel better soon.
Recovering, but still wiped out. I hate Meniere's!
My grandfather had that, it's miserable. Hope you're feeling better.
No update tonight sorry. Too busy with real life.
My apologies. Tuesday again turned out to be insanely busy for me. No update tonight.
Friday has struck for me. No update tonight.
Just dropping in to let everyone know that I’ll be away for a week from tonight. Please feel free to bot me if needed, I’ll try to drop in and post but I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to.
Sorry, absolutely hammered today. At my age it's a long hot bath and bed as soon as possible. No update.
I have to go to the doctor today and there's a chance I'll wind up in surgery. If so, I may be out for a few days (assuming I survive, of course, there's always the tiny chance of something going wrong).
Well I hope it goes well. Been nearly 10 years since my last surgery and I just had an epidural rather than going under. You still worry though.
Hope everything goes OK for you Niobe.
Hope it all goes well
Best wishes to you; you've got this!
Sorry, been running around all day dealing with family problems. No time to update tonight.

Not sure he can manage that level of harmonics, but I suspect he'd be happy to practice our next long voyage, perhaps with the senior officers as backing singers.
Sorry, no time to update tonight.

No game sadly. Feeling unwell.
Still bedridden so have the night off.
Feel better
FYI, I'm leaving this afternoon for a camping trip that extends into the Labor Day holiday. I won't be returning home until late Monday evening; I likely won't be able to post again until Tuesday morning.
