Starting tomorrow I will be on a car trip and then visiting family for a week. I SHOULD have internet while visiting, but you never know when something will go wrong and I'll be posting slow regardless.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas
Happy holidays, folks!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year to all you ladies, NBs and gentlemen!
Okay, guys, could we please keep it friendly here? I'm starting to get concerned that this might get a bit out of hand.
Maybe I'm worrying a bit too much, but I don't want things to come to PvP here.
I haven't had that feeling, DM Cat, but I appreciate your being thoughtful about it. It's been fun and interesting, but I think it's an appropriate time to wrap up this bit of RP and jump back on the main storyline.
Don't worry, Conner and me have been RPing together for almost ten years now. We know our limits. No hard feelings. :)
Good. :)
Working on an advancing post now.
Yup. I'm the pragmatist, he's the romantic. We fight crime!
At least in one of our PbPs. Superhero-based y'see.
It's my turn to officially say...
"Happy New Year!"
Yes, belated happy New Year and all that
Happy New Year from my awesome new computer! :P
Happy new year!
Anyone else in the room besides Nicat and me?
I guess not.
I should probably start taking tens in Perception if I wanna do anything with it. Wisdom's NOT one of Eostre's strong points.
Talk about mood whiplash!
Sorry for the wait. Got home late from work.
Nicat's charm is getting to Eostre. ;)
...And now it's gone.
Wow, that lasted over an hour! Nice to see his charm is so effective!
Indeed!
Well THAT was underwhelming. <_<
Sorry about jumping the gun like that, folks. Like I said, I wasn't quite up to speed on how undead do saves differently (I thought they just used their Charisma modifier when they needed to make Fortitude saves).
It happens. Now you know :)
Yay, you learned something! :D
I'd just like to point out that retreat is always an option. :)
Um, it might not be, I think Conner's gear is too heavy for him now.
On the one hand, it might be good to run away, since Ekan cannot hurt these things. (Incidentally, DMCat, incorporeal damage is just 50% now, rather than a 50% miss chance like in 3.5 - but only magic weapons can hurt incorporeal creatures at all.)
But, as Nicat astutely pointed out, how do you flee from something that can run through walls to catch you? I don't know that we have a choice but to fight them.
Also, DM - each of the shadows should have made an individual save vs Evelyn's channel, unless I missed something that allowed only one of them to be affected.
Nicat has Conner's old sword, it's magic, give it to Ekan.

Regarding shadow saving throws: I just lumped them together to save time and rolls.
Ekan having a magic weapon would help, but he won't be proficient with it, so he won't be very good with it. Also, my sheet shows Nicat having a MW longsword - did he end up with a +1 sword and I've been failing to use it all this time?
And I have to say, there isn't really a rule that lets anyone lump saving throws together like that, and it can't possibly save much time. I don't want to be a jerk or a rules lawyer, but lumping like that has extremely swingy results - it's either all good or all bad. I don't imagine it'd be okay if we started doing that for attack rolls - and in this case, it could be the difference between life and death for the PCs.
I think Conner's referring to Koruvus' longsword, Nicat.
And I'll roll individual save results in the future.
Hey Cat - I hope my tone was okay. I didn't want to sound whiny or pushy or sh!tty or unkind or even very negative, and I hope it didn't come across that way. I really love this game and your running of it, and felt I should express my view on this small thing, so I did.
I'll look through the thread to clarify in my head that Nicat ended up with that sword and add it to my sheet, thanks for the info!
Thanks, Nicat. :)
I appreciate your feedback.
Hey guys, let's take another night's rest before we face the big boss. It's not like he's going anywhere with that seal keeping him in place! :P
Yeah, I think that's a very good idea.
Uh, unless Evelyn has lesser restoration, Conner's out of action for about a week.
Or, considering you've already more or less completed this module, you could return to town...
Nah, gotta kill the big ugly thing. Wouldn't make sense to leave it there, to be unleashed upon the world at a later date.
How WILL we kill these things anyway?!
Well, you know that Evelyn's channeling did quite a bit of damage...
Is Telekinetic Fist a force effect?
Yes. So is Magic Missile.
Crap. The dice are NOT loving us. Do we make a run for it?
Well, let's see how badly this goes.
EDIT: Pretty badly
Regarding restorations and the like:
For the sake of convenience, I'm going to allow lesser restorations to be used on the same person multiple times. Restoration and up will be subject to the once-a-week restriction.
I'm sending Eostre all my dice mojo for this roll. Oh Nuffle, the Great and Fickle, we beseech your favor!
Do you want me to attack the shadow or use enlarge person to carry you out of the room to safety?
I'd say attack, the thing can still follow us.

I don't get where exactly this is coming from, do we get some kind of free spell casting service from something?
