Sorry this week has been unexpectedly heavy at work. I'm planning on posting tomorrow.
Someone else might want to investigate the wall since you know if Broom does it it's just going to get fixed up.
Holy crap! How do I miss 25 posts?
Sometimes the boards just decide to stop notifying me when threads get updated. It seems random, though I'm sure there's some kind of underlying gremlin code reason.
If REine wanted to be in Broom's spot, she would step out of the way for her.
Please bot Des and shadow for me, not sure how long yet. Arm is painful atm. Des will AA John's AC with the roll from last rnd and shadow will step up and slam/bite/claw/claw from 10' over the others' heads.
The shadow is a langolier now XD XD XD I don't make the rules
Love it! Picturing the shreds of ghost and the ripping sounds
were the claws crits, DM?

The langoliers? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. :)

Whoa, I totally missed that those were 20s. The first one definitely is, let me roll to see about the second one.
Second one's not.
8 more damage puts it juuuuust short of going down. It would run if it could.
I had to Google that name, but I remember watching it.
I don't know if it is something special with the attack that hit it, but normally undead are immune to stunning. I don't think that changes anything in this encounter though. Having a heavy hitter that naturally has ghost touch was a tremendous help.

+cleanup for the updates I forgot to do at level 5 -_-;
I have a question that needs answering before I update the profile(s), but it's just a small thing. I PM'd you on discord, GM and Reine.

Sorry I missed this. Reine's Aura of Fear removes creatures' immunity to fear effects, and the stunning was a fear effect. It's possible/probable that deleting the fear immunity doesn't also remove the stunning immunity (it is a different line in the Undead Traits entry).
I think in this case, you're right that it didn't really matter, since Shadow went ham on it. But I think that in the future that probably shouldn't work (at least against mindless undead). That said, ghosts aren't mindless, so... meh.
I'll leave it up to Karl.
Lachen will probably take another level in fighter.. Will probably go Fight 5/ Blood 2, then getting slowly to 5/5

Why do I feel like I'm going to enjoy Broom's first experience realizing she can fly/levitate?
Leveled up!

REALLY liking Horrible Strike, as it can (somewhat) mitigate the "dealing damage to undead enemies" problem. 2PP adds 1d6 to damage done, can stack (so can add 3d6 to any attack for 6PP).
Would still like to get her a better ranged weapon though, eventually.
Didn't realize we used Background skill..
Not a too much big deal, I can figure it out here

To the other building? That seems like a long way away. Reine was suggesting maybe dragging the bodies down here and coaxing the slime into the room behind the wall, where we found the body we have to bury to end the haunting. Keeping the slime safely in the basement, while most of us hid on the stairs. But she's not going to say anything while Broom starts this plan, instead. I am amused.
I misread your suggestion, but what you mentioned about taking the ooze into the secret jail is a much better idea than what I am doing now. Are you sure you don't want to say anything?
On the other hand I could just have Broom clue into what you originally proposed.
Also
This whole plan is ridiculous. We are trying to preserve the life of an ooze? John really needs to speak up here.
See, this is what happens when he leaves us to our own devices.
I think it's more that we're trying to not get eaten by the ooze ourselves, while also getting it out of the way so we can explore what's behind it.
I can have Reine say something. ;-)
I agree that we should take the body to town first (I don't mind if it happens offscreen, either), but Des definitely isn't going to carry it! XD
I'm sure the shadow would be happy to handle that for her... no?
I wouldn't hold my breath.
I should have started with "Broom tentatively begins putting together the ceremony" to see if anyone was interested in stopping her, however once she had someone actively helping she would throw herself into the endeavor whole heartedly.
As for the missing priestess, I guess its possible that something else happened to her during the same time people were being kidnapped and eaten by the fish men. But it seems reasonable that she fell victim to the same fate? Though I do agree that we don't actually have any proof of that.
Whoa, that was an AWESOME mini-vignette, Broom! Now Broom is both Sister and Doctor, haha! I really dig the description of Us helping as well, that's really cool.
I seem to recall we found someone fitting the bill (or at least a holy symbol? Or am I recalling the wrong game?) eaten in the kitchen, or somewhere in the fort? But my memory is not the best, I'm sure you're all aware.
Broom was totally good.
I was only concerned about whether we needed an actual priest/priestess to complete the Haunt destruction/put the ghost to rest. Love what you did with the whole vignette.
But yeah, I don't remember the priestess in the fort. I'll have to go re-read some stuff, I guess.
One of the prisoners said the priestess was in the cells with them when he first got there. She wasn't there by the time you freed the remaining prisoners. Skum eat humanoids.
It's conjecture but... yeah they ate her.
Right. Well... It *IS* a Lovecraftian adventure...
