The Absalom Gambit (Inactive)

Game Master Vuvu

That's the plan.

Very much want out of this place.

Sorry for the delay! Was juggling things. Feel free to bot me if I'm the only one you're waiting on, I don't mind at all.

just throwin this out there. Kracow is at about 25 hp and surrounded. They do seem intent on wailing on him

So we're gonna lose him? When was the last he posted?

What could we do, in any case?

Yeah, I'm pretty overmatched in this fight. Scratch that, I think we're all overmatched. I can keep trying to knock them down, but the rest of my spells don't seem to be effective against them. Having me doing 12 points of damage a hit (if I summon an earthbreaker) isn't going to make a dent.

ok

1d20 ⇒ 18

2d20 ⇒ (16, 17) = 33

I can't hurt these guys not speced for comabt which is something I'm working on changing but there's not much I can do. If we could have gotten his body I would say rez him. But won't they just come back. Geez this sucked.

yep they would send something else. He drew a death card basically. Gotta love the deck of many things

You and I are speced for combat Varin. Just not the toe-to-toe slugfest variety.

Well, I'm sorry I didn't try to focus us on one at a time. The vomiting halfling didn't make sense to me, and I thought there was a door out. I thought if we could get them to chase us, we could kite them.

he vomited cause of boneyards spell

Yep, cacophonous call. If target fails will save, they are nauseated for spell duration (round per level).

no biggy, not sure where he got to anyhow, just means it just got tougher

Yeah but not against elementals nothing I can do to them. I need some new spells. I was busy picking up buffs not debuffs and control. Although I can take a licking and keep on ticking. I think I have more hp than anyone else which is funny as heck.

And Mini nothing against you when I say that sucked it was luck of the draw.

For Mini and any other fathers happy fathers day.

Heads up that Boneyard and family are headed to Ireland tomorrow until the end of the month for a vacation! I do plan to continue posting, but there could be some pauses here and there. I know its tricky with Boneyard the one possibly on hold since he's our primary scout. I'm ok with Mini playing him or if any of the rest of you want to boss him around anytime I'm slow to post :)

Bring back mead and a keychain. Will pay for shipping and prezzies.....

i do not want to make a decision of which picture you guys touch, even though boneyard is gone, you guys will have to decide

Let me refit my spell list and I will make a suggestion

Varin is leaning to the shadow giant. Gaints usually have weak wills. Which means sleep hex works as does evil eye.....

I'm good with the giant too. Better chance for Boneyard to affect it as well.

ok giant it will be. I will be doing some dice rolling off screen cause I am on phone, but I will not cheat you. Well maybe gunser

On phonetoo,giant is ok

Well I didn't know it was a vampire too.... if its undead also we are screwed bone. Hiw about the hydra I can still sleep it maybe. And we can try to knack it also I have buffs to hand out before we fight once we make our choice.

Although I do have access ti resto spells. If we rest for a day.

Gunser's staff is dragon-bane. Otherwise, something he can intimidate? +12 base, +7 for Touch of Glory. It's not a knock-out, but every bit helps.

discuss as you will. Once someone posts that they put their hand on the spot of a picture the encounter will begin! :)

Well I don't see any dragons, not interested in the ooze, and really not the lich. Though if Miz and gun stay on it they should be able to beat it down quick. But it it wins it might get us all.

Could we prepare a web/tanglefoot/netting or such to hazard the lich? It is at least a spellcaster, if we declare saved attacks against his casting, that's a lot of concentration checks to make. It might be our best best.

note the characters do not know it is a lich

Yeah, we just know some sort of spell book toting undead. Both Boneyard and Varin are going to be wary of undead because of possible mind-affecting immunity although a spell book suggests a mind. I can give everyone a +1 initiative with careful teamwork. Also cacophonous call works against most baddies, just not the delightful cold iron golems. I'm ok switching to the pyrohydra or the spell toting undead.

Oh hush mini we don't know what a lich is but its an undead spellcaster. Heck it could be a unique mummy or a really bad off vamp that doesn't change the undead spellcaster angle which is what I think i f when I say lich.

I'm cool with the hydra if I can evil eye it and then sleep and someone can force a reroll if it saves we might be able to coup dr grace it.

im just saying. I want my TPK!

or was that MTV?

eh I will go with TPK I think that is right

I can't force him to reroll for your sleep hex. At least not any way I can think of. I can give any of you a reroll to use yourself. I'm ok with the pyrohydra. If that's what we do, I'll go invisible, search for and DD any traps, put my hand on that handprint, then use cacophonous call with an arcane surge to make him save twice once he appears unless Varin gets him first.

I'm goin to check forums but since they can live without head seems like those spells would only effect one head at a time

Interesting question. I've never considered that before. Will be interesting to see what you find. Let us know if that would be character knowledge or not. It may change our plan.

It's good to be able to plan a response.

Yes but sleeping is a total body thing for most people. And there are myths of people sneaking up on a hydra sleeping.
Sorta like dominate monster. It gets the whole mob not just one head. Though one head would be funny
But even it it only knocks one head out its not a bad thing. And guys kill the body....

Bleed attacks are deadly on non-sentients (who can't Heal check), if we can kite. We can make some very stout netting, and put it in front of the picture we activate.

haven't found ot out yet. What was ur arcana again?

sry phobe post

Wild arcana which I can't remember what it does since I don't have my tower near by. They didn't have anything good for witch really so i took dual path and branched into divine so I can Effect my buff spells

I meant what was boneyards arcana check

Oh lol.

boneyard is pretty sure that only individual heads will be effected

Fair enough. Does that mean I could sleep one head at time or can I hit the whole creature justonce?

each head one time. so 12 times if you chose.

Okay that's fair. I doubt I will do that but its good to know going into it. I see why you choose the hydra. And I don't blame you. Sadly its Varin's most effective combat maneuver.

And it gets worse at lvl 9 if I take ice tomb.

Well Varin, if we stick to this (and it sounds like we might), I guess you and I need to make sure we're going after different heads with our save or suck/save or dies.
