Skull & Shackles: Sails under a blood red sky.

Game Master DBH

It took a thunderstorm to drop us to 80 F

I've run out of time to update tonight.

Out of time to update tonight. You get to live a little longer. :)

No update tonight.

My internet has been out completely for the last several days. I will try and post tonight if I can.

Sorry, got home late and have to head out again. No update tonight.

Not feeling too well tonight. No update I'm afraid.

Still feeling like crap.

Understood. We just REALLY WANT TO KILL THIS THING!

That's all. You rest as long as you need so we can do it...properly.

I second that statement. Rest, recover, and when you rise once more will murder this thing!!!

Okay...my rebuttal to the nasty arrow trap.

#1. I threw a FIREBALL in that room. If there was a trap hanging from the ceiling or something, I'm pretty sure it is damaged or destroyed -OR- at the very least trigger by accident already. However, let's say the trap is in the floor or the ceiling (or whatever) and is unaffected by the Fireball.

#2. I have on Vambraces of Defense. These state...Once per day, as an immediate action, if the wearer has at least one hand free, when he would normally be hit with an attack from a ranged weapon, he may deflect it with the bracers, taking no damage from it, as if he had the Deflect Arrows feat. The Deflect Arrows Feat states... Benefit: You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this feat. Once per round when you would normally be hit with an attack from a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Attempting to deflect a ranged attack doesn’t count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons (such as boulders or ballista bolts) and ranged attacks generated by natural attacks or spell effects can’t be deflected. Finally: Errata!How does Deflect Arrows work with Manyshot? Answer:
Manyshot allows an archer to shoot multiple arrows, but you only make one attack roll, so Deflect Arrows would block all arrows grouped in anyone particular Manyshot attack.

So...the trap?

ERGO: One attack, one deflection. Done. No damage?
=)

Woooonder Womannnnn!

Or am I just trying a little too hard?
=)

1. Your Fireball hit the window outside the room, some damage inside yes, but the trap is set outside the room in the hallway.

2. As you did not check for traps you were flat footed to the attack.

Dangit.
=(

Good try tho Ash!

No time to update tonight sorry.

Family dinner so no update tonight.

Sorry, no update tonight.

Got home late & tired. No update sorry.

Aside from detecting magic, there's not too much open-ended info-gathering on the wizard spell list until you get to contact other plane, which is still a level beyond what I can cast. Soooo I'm afraid there's nothing I can think of to help with the current problem, either. Having a bad run of problems that none of my spells can deal with!

You’re a pirate wizard. You are doing pretty well under the circumstances I think. We may want to invest in some scrolls later, just to increase your versatility though.

I just thought about something…if he is possessed or something Protection from Evil could give him a temporary reprieve from it for the duration.

Well, once the levitate spell expires we can detect magic to see if there are any other lingering spells on him. (He's probably wearing some magic items, too.)

I have a pretty wide repertoire of spells, just happen to have gotten really unlucky in the "never have the one right spell for this specific problem" department.

I can't remember...does Pathfinder allow the Wizard 'spell slot pending' rule?

Basically you leave a spell slot un-memorized and then later on when you need a specific spell, you memorize it on the spot so you can use it(Takes like 15 minutes?).

Of course, you still need a decent spellbook full of choice spells to really make it useful.

You mean this rule:

When preparing spells for the day, a wizard can leave some of these spell slots open. Later during that day, he can repeat the preparation process as often as he likes, time and circumstances permitting. During these extra sessions of preparation, the wizard can fill these unused spell slots. He cannot, however, abandon a previously prepared spell to replace it with another one or fill a slot that is empty because he has cast a spell in the meantime. That sort of preparation requires a mind fresh from rest. Like the first session of the day, this preparation takes at least 15 minutes, and it takes longer if the wizard prepares more than one-quarter of his spells.

So, yes, I could, but often it's been advantageous to make sure I have as much prepared as possible, since you can't swap something in the middle of a fight this way.

I'll buy every spell that I can get my hands on, since my spellbook has unlimited capacity (thanks to my archetype), but there are a lot of spells with no functional utility, and no wizard spells that would really help with our issues with this guy.

Also, thanks to my archetype:
* Once per day Cassiopeia can cast any spell out of her book without having prepared it previously.
* Preparing an open slot only takes 5 minutes instead of 15.

That is pretty awesome in terms of options.

I seem to have picked up a cold from somewhere? The weather is getting warmer so of course I'm sniffing and coughing. No update sorry.

Still not feeling too well. Have another night off.

Take care of yourself, we'll be here!

Now would be a good time for you all to level up to level 10.

Probably won't help you with your loony though. :)

Getting him out of the fort and some good diplomacy rolls could help though.

Thank you DM!

I (and all of us, I'm sure) really hope that you are feeling a little better. :)

Thanks GM! Hope you feel better soon.

Well, the GM told us how to heal the fellow: greater restoration, heal, limited wish, miracle, or wish, none of which I have. The lowest-level of those is 6th level, putting it out of our reach for at least one more level (Rhialla should be able to cast heal at cleric level 11).

I'll discuss some possibilities in gameplay.

There are a lot of good spells that I really need to get, like dimensional anchor (for fighting things like that living nightmare), siphon magic, unseen crew, mind probe, and hold monster.

The insane person also rolls once a week against the insanity. A successful save reduces the degree of insanity. Eventually they can lose the affliction.

Restoration can't cure insanity but it does reduce the DC of the save. Getting him out of the fort and the various things hammering his mind will get him some relief and let him start healing.

You can get information out of him. After a peaceful nights sleep would work best. A good diplomacy roll would be needed though.

LET'S GET THIS MAN SOME THERAPY!

Save the magic! Just throw him in the brig on board ship, under guard for now.

I shall post this evening when I get home! And can actually view the map because my phone hates me...
