The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

I hope to be back up and running via a cable connection by the evening. Assuming that happens I will get a substantive post up this evening.

I have internet again. Game on, thanks for the patience.

I'm going to be busy with work until tomorrow. So probably won't get a post up until then.

I'll be offline till tomorrow.

I'm going to be offline for a few days and I'm not sure what my internet access will be.

Take your time, Baldwin.

I'm back. It was good trip up to the North Carolina. I'll get a post up soon.

I'll get a post up on Thursday. It's been a busy week.

I think I'm getting sick, I'll try to get a post up tomorrow.

There's a nasty bug going around it seems. Took me out for almost a month.

I blame the mosquitoes, nasty buggers.

Rey, d-door t-port, summons and passwall stuff does not function in the tomb. If you notice I have those spells crossed out on my list. Sad but true

Damnit! I totally forgot that. Cruddy!

I'll try to get an update done this evening.

You all are approaching the end of the module.

One thing that I would have done differently in running the game is your starting level. I would have started everyone at level 11 and gauged the difficulty and level you up if needed.

Pathfinder characters are more robust than 3.0/3.5 characters and it's difficult to create a good dungeon filled trap for pathfinder. Traps are so easy to find and disable with pathfinder, it's a weakness in the conversion. That last trap was probably the only one that actually proved problematic because it had automatic triggers that could not be discovered and disable.

To a degree Omar is over optimized for the trap dealing role. If he had trap spotter, every trap situation would be a walkover pretty much.

Thing about PF is that traps tend to be a binary situation. Either you have a trap specialist, and they are easy, or they screw the players good and hard. The trap specialists are usually too good for the traps to be a hindrance.

I've never thought about it, Omar, but that is a wonderful way to describe the problems with traps in Pathfinder.

I 100% agree with both Baldwin and Omar.In the homegame I run, I don't bother with traps unless I have a character who enjoys that aspect of the game.

Yes, Sargon if two folks laid in the coffin's depression that would have been a fun surprise for the those characters.

I'm assuming there is some sort of epic level boss fight we're about to enter into... Mummies, a lich, some other form of powerful undead, plus mud elementals galore. I guess we'll go down in a blaze of glory at least! :)

I will be out of town until monday, Have a good thanksgiving all

I will get a post up this evening. Let's bring this game in for it's landing.

I'll get a post up either this evening or more likely tomorrow morning.

Sargon can you lift his weight with your 8 strength?

I'm going to guess the answer is hell no, I guess the best thing is to search the entire room

A grappling hook and rope works.

I'll get an update up tomorrow.

I'll be getting a post up tomorrow. I'm a bit busy this evening.

I won't be able to get a post up till tomorrow.

I'm going to be offline for a couple days.

Does the hit and damage permit a new save to maintain control?

Well it doesn't say in the spell, that it gets a new save, It does say that once the spell is over intelligent undead may seek revenge so I would say no. But it is your call

Control undead

I wasn't sure if it was like charm person/charm monster where an attack breaks the hold. Wishful think.

hat's right people, this tomb just claimed the life of the bard. Con of 10, con damage of 13 = instant death. Ah well, 'twas fun while it lasted. Enjoy the rest of the tomb.

We are truly playing hard mode with no healing

Dang!

I should have done breath of life but i spaced sorry Rey

Rey had constitutional damage which is what killed her, not hit point damage. Granted she also took hit point damage from the loss of constitution.

I don't think BoL would have worked because that restores HPs not ability damage. Raise dead restores ability damage to a 1.

Either way, I feel like an idiot for forgetting this, I took limited wish just for such an occasion. I hope she comes back

She normally doesn't post on the weekends so she may not have seen the posts yet.

I'm alright on spells

Well this is a problem, I don't have spellcraft

I sent Rey an email to see if she wants to come back after the raise dead spell.

I hope so, she is important

She emailed back and decided to remain dead.

Can we have the spell back to try a remove curse?

Problem is that Sargon doesn't know that remove curse is needed.

True, but if I have a magic item on which won't come off, it's generally a safe bet.

Though I guess that could be called metagaming. OTOH, as we've lost our bard, and we're about to go into the final encounter with your main damage source wearing cursed gloves which will make him drop his weapon half the time, I'm willing to metagame a touch.

I'm good if the DM is. I am using a 7th level spell to duplicate a 3rd level spell

I'm going to say no on the metagaming change of spell. Mostly because Raise Dead says: "In addition, the subject's soul must be free and willing to return. If the subject's soul is not willing to return, the spell does not work;..." Taht is what happened here the soul did not want to come back but Sargon would not have known this before casting the spell.

I know you will be gimped with only three characters and no true healing. That will be challenging but you are almost done with the adventure. There are only two more scenarios. I will put an item that can help with removing the curse if you make it through the next event.

ok.

insect spell. By the number of swarms that begin to appear you figure it an extremely high caster.

Ewww...is it this spell and how are they after taking a buck 17

We need to run away if that doesn't do much to them, or I need to occupy them while you keep laying down blasts to them and me, or they are going to kill all us.
