I don't think anyone are planning on multi-classing into wizard. That's not the kind of thing you do without planning it out first... If we can use it as scrolls great, if not we can sell it.
Spontaneous casters can learn spells from it, even if they aren't on their spell list. Sadly, only up to spells known limit.
Really? I've never heard of anything like that before. Where are those rules from? If that is true Aleziella could really use a few of those spells...
Also, no one else have anything to say about what's happening in the gameplay thread?

Yes do tell, I've been looking for rules on spontaneous casters learning spells forever.
Adding Spells to a Sorcerer's or Bard's Repertoire
A sorcerer or bard gains spells each time she attains a new level in her class and never gains spells any other way. When your sorcerer or bard gains a new level, consult Table: Bard Spells Known or Table: Sorcerer Spells Known to learn how many spells from the appropriate spell list she now knows. With permission from the GM, sorcerers and bards can also select the spells they gain from new and unusual spells that they come across while adventuring.
I guess you are referring to this part? It still seems weird to me if Aleziella can learn stuff from an arcane spellbook, but I would take it if it was an option.
No, you cannot use spellbook pages as scrolls. Also, spellbooks are worth a good amount of money if you don't have anyone that can use them. Very busy weekend for me, will have in depth post for next section up late tonight or tomorrow day.
No, actually, I don't plan s@%~ out for the most part. In fact I'm only running two characters at the current point in time that have any sort of plan at all and Korak isn't one of them.
Sorry if that holds us up a bit but my character will just can't leave him there with the temple so close, hope that's cool

@ Al,
That is different wording than I remember, but I may be mixing it up with 3.5 I'll check my hardcopy when I get home. Originally it said that spontaneous casters could research other spells they encounter.
We could always go back and cook those dark mantles.

You can still research spells, though those cost 1000 GP per spell level and a lot of time. Doesn't have to be a real spell either. That's actually a way to get above the spells known limit.
Didn't we find a bunch of rations, in the backpack, the ruined camp as well as with Milorn?

Yes, it looks like we still have 2 rations left from what we found. With the food we had before, we actually have 14 days left.
Tanya, did you miss my post about trying to identify the potions, scroll and cloak?
Did we actually say that we took all those though?
lol i just read the conflicting actions and i could not stop imagining that Aleziella told us to hold up and Xantrius walks right passed her as she is talking with out her noticing. Just as she begins to turn around she hears him speak to the unknown people lol
Oh, I just realized the diplomacy roll wasn't even meant for the creatures in the cave. Don't we see far enough to see what kind of creatures they are? A rough description would be nice, though I suppose they could just be shapes as well... Are they less than 60 feet away? It doesn't sound like they are trying to hide though... I assume we still have light on?
I guess most people are waiting for the mongrelfolk to reply before posing questions off their own. I think these are the creatures from Aleziella's dream.
Yeah, I think people might not be all that interested in chatting on the road...
Which is why I just went and said I start down the path. Jason can't MAKE us move on, so hopefully this will get us kick started.
What exactly is your formula for the travel speed? It makes no sense to me and the rulebook isn't giving me insight to your method.
He's repeating the AP book, let it go already.
It's what the book has, it is assuming that you are searching, being inhibited by debris, and being inhibited by Argus's speed.
The point is that one of us is seeing something the other isn't. Therefore, I find his timing to be unpredictable. He says he is using the book, but I am looking at the book as well and yet I get different results. Hence, I'm curious to know what I'm missing, or what he is doing. He certainly isn't just using half speed, nor one quarter speed.
Judging from his last, we are either going half speed, or one quarter speed (depending on how he is stacking those penalties), and of those speeds, as near as I can tell from the rules, neither would give the times he is giving. Thus my confusion.
Does the time really matter that freaking much? Just enjoy the game rather than questioning the time it takes to travel every time it comes up. Also, why are you looking at the books we are currently using to play a game?
You know, I could swear that I was the first one to post after Jason's last post, but somehow a hairy dwarf got stuck in there. :)

Actually for a dwarf Korak is not hairy. He's been unable to grow that magnificent dwarven beard, or mustache. I just couldn't find a clean shaven dwarf avatar.
The book had an exact distance of 1875 feet. I found such an exact distance to be ridiculous for you to know as you are not using laser cartography equipment to determine your actual distance traveled so I rounded to 2000 feet (thus the preceding term "about"). The times are approximate also as no one is wearing a watch.
And yes, with the combination of a crippled person who is half speed and the difficult terrain, you are travelling at 1/4 speed.
I see. Thanks for answering that. I rather stupidly hadn't thought up that you might be rounding things around.
So how exactly do we know what the scales do?
;)
Magic! jazz hands
When you touched the scales, the knowledge was immediately revealed. Any person of good alignment gets the same revelation.
Sorry, had a very long day. I will update tomorrow.
Using our splash weapons against this plant is flat out stupid. It deals less damage and is harder to hit with than our weapons. The thing got 20 foot movement so can easily reach people 40 feet away. To hit it from 50 feet away is -8 to hit. Are anyone really going to hit it reliably at that distance? Given we are fighting against the locust lord we are highly likely to encounter actual swarms at some point. Saving our splash weapons for that would be a good idea.
@Korak: I realize you might want to roleplay out only giving out parts of the information, but please don't spread miss information at least... Xantrius hasn't even attempted a knowledge check, he might even know this himself.
misinformation? What misinformation? And I don't particularly like being called a backstabber, I've said nothing but the truth, if you refer to me taking a vial it's because I tend towards the cautions and taking things from a distance.

I'm simply referring to the math that says that you'll only hit the creature on a 20 unless you are so close you might as well melee attack anyway.
I suggested cold, at no point did I say splash weapons were our best bet, I said cold, I did not spread misinformation because I didn't do the math on somebody else's plan, so kindly bugger off.
Maybe misinformation is the wrong word then. You were however the only one with the information to say anything about this plan. When you accepted the vial you also tacitly agreed that that plan was a good one. That's what I call misinformation.
Anyway, I think trying to take on this monster is very risky. Aleziella is the only one with a better than 50% chance of resisting the confusion effect. It'll one-shot pretty much anyone of us.
@Jason: Is it possible to hold one's breath to avoid the effect of the spores?
@Tanya: Why are you not interested in identifying the potions when repeatedly asked?
@Xantrius: Maybe we can use the alternate rules for identifying potions by perception? Still leaves the matter of the cloak though. I guess I'll just have to pick up spellcraft next level...
Timing mostly. Tanya will do it when we take a break, but when we are traveling in a place like this, she doesn't think it is appropriate to have her nose in potions rather than paying attention to the surroundings, nor when we are faced with an obstacle. She is also kinda pushing it off because she is getting irritated by Xantrius' nagging about it.
He asked twice in the span of several hours?
Actually, it has been only two hours.
As for the plan to fly us over, Xantrius will be walking. At over 315 lbs. total, he is way over the weight limit.
No you aren't. They all cast as level 19 and the weight is one hundred per level. So it's weight max is 1900 pounds.
Oh, you were thinking to use the levitation thing? That'll help. How many times per day can you use that?
By the way, Xill can carry up to 350 lbs.
Once
Let's go with that plan then (unless anyone, especially Kothar, objects?).
The only reason I "nagged" you about it was because I got no response of any kind the first time I asked, so I did not know if you saw the post.

Truth be told, I did miss it the first time, but since you brought it up again in character, I had to assume that my character didn't respond the first either, otherwise I probably would have just rolled off screen and let it be assumed that she had checked them while the area was still being cleared before the group moved on.
