Gonna go with Emergency Force Sphere (evocation) and Black Tentacles (Conjuration) as new spells.
the eyes is hte phylacery. awesome
an offering of great strength ...
everyone get their hammers
Ammonis's knowledge roll would allow him to know that simply crushing the stone is sufficient to destroy the magic.
Didnt say we couldn't return the phylactery in a few pieces.
Maybe Ulave should smite it.
That is a scary (expensive) +6 flail of evil. Whoah.

I don't see how Ulave can allow it to exist.
on the other hand, is there a way to remove the unholy attribute?
It is probably more convenient for Ulave if he didn't notice things...
Ok nobody tell ulave
But seriously, you'd have to be a bit evil to sell this.
a 9th level wizard might remove the unholy attribute with wizard's disjunction. but i think it would remove all the enhancements.
9th level spell
Yeah, I think we should destroy it as well. We're probably going to come across heaps of incredibly evil and powerful gear in this adventure. Might as well get used to destroying such stuff now.
In any case it might have the hardness required to destroy the phylactery..if not both get destroyed.
Lyon? The negative level only last as long as you hold it
Okay so it looks like we have a majority vote to destroy the phylactery, rather than return it to the Usurer whole? And the unholy flail as well?
Agreed.
Agreed against greed.
If the flail doesn't work, I don't think there's a lot that can be done.
That being said, Eddwick has a hardness bypassing bomb, so if you find him soon, he'd give blowing this thing up a shot.
Agreed. mostly because, well, that is what Ulave would do.
I think someone might try using the flail to destroy it, but first can someone just start hitting it with a hammer? someone strong like Lyon. maybe buff up. don't have to hit it just once, right?
in fact, lets give each of the dwarfs a turn so no-one tires out.
”For this, I will give you ten thousand of your precious, golden coins.” The Usurer’s face doesn’t so much as crack. ”In exchange for nothing less than its phylactery. I demand absolute proof of your dominion over this foe.”
seems to me like a broken phylactery is proof of dominion.
as for the phylactery itself, any chance that it is warded by spells? seems to me that if I were a lich I'd have protection spells on the thing to blast anyone meddling with it.
Thanks to GM for doing that in the ... right order. (:
So selling the flail is one thing. MIght as well pack up and go back home and live a comfortable life...
or one of us can weild the damn thing.
I wouldn't mind a Wounding Holy +2 Flail as my *second* weapon. But Lyon *is* our melee-tist, and Ulave is barely strong enough to wield the thing. If Thane were sticking around he would have the most right to it..., but I'm not gonna let a NPC walk away with That.
... There can only be one.
The adamantine plate is also nice. damage reduction of 2 or 3.
Lyon is welcome to the flail if he wants it! With my AC currently at 18, I wouldn't mind the adamantine plate.
I'm fine with that. Both are not suitable for Ulave. Woudl be perfect for other sort of paladin
+2 +2d6 holy damage + wounding bleed damage
I must admit that this would really make Lyon the guy Ammonis hides behind. The high AC tank that cannot be ignored.
i don't care who gets it if they weild/wear it.
still, if it were up to me, i'd let the tank get the DR that the adamantine plate affords... and hand Lyon's enhanced dragonhide plate to Rurik (assuming it fit). the thing is: the rest of us are ranged-combat/wizard types. we need someone who can stand there and take it while dishing it out, especially if we ever get into a dungeon like scenario
Fine with me.
Also even if they wanted to liquidate the flail, who'd want to liquidate it for gold just to buy iron bits? --Ammonis won't get teleport for another level.
I've feats and class features invested in heavy blades but... that flail is too good for someone not to use... might even be so good I may need to bend our benevolent GM's ear towards the subject of retraining (and I do below).
It's adamantine breastplate, Rurik or someone else should take it. Iyon would only get +1 DR from it. He'd lose 3 AC as well despite it's enchantments. Rurik would get the full DR 2... due to class choices Iyon is rocking DR3/- (it will stack with Adamantine DR but is on DR2/- for medium).
...that cloak of resistance +2 no one has mentioned yet? I'll put my name into the hat for it or a hand me down +1 if someone is upgrading. If he's wielding the flail I don't think he'll be getting it if someone else is interested.
@Something Wicked I might tweak my leveling up choices seeing as that flail is going to have an impact if he gets it. At level 8 he can ditch a previously chosen combat feat (sadly this will be armed bravery) and replace it with another combat feat (Weapon Focus). Instead of taking Improved Critical Tetsubo he'd take
I've looked up the rules on retraining class features, weapon trainning is mentioned as possible, it'd take five days when he gets a chance.
The Forumula for the Cost:10 × your level × the number of days required to retrain
10x8x5=400gp, so time and facilities will be more a factor than gold.
Or Agyen for the cloak. he hasn't updated character, but his fort/will/reflex saves are the worst of the lot of us.
i'm wearing a +1 cloak of resistance... but as a paladin my saves are good as a rule, so i'd consider a trade for something. not sure what though.
The cloak for Agyen seems like a reasonable idea.
My main thread post got eaten and I'm only now catching up on posts.
I was all up for destroying the phylactery.
Iyon should get the armour and Agyen would happily accept a cloak of resistance.
Sounds good. Just need to know how long we plan to spend at the campsite?
I'm thinking at least ten hours.
Ammonis will need eight to sleep, then Agyen will need two.
Anyone else want to chime in?
Well, if Ammonis is right and there isn't going to be some demon from Tsar, then rest through morning, and vampire hunting in the noon sun, and one more night here. Might be worth looking about for treasure too.
On the other hand, maybe Ammonis is wrong, and we ought to escape while we still can. (:
Rurik with the admantine armor I believe. As Lyon said, his AC would actually get worse with it because of his character design.
It might be meta, but it might also be worth heading back to camp to rendezvous with Eddwick.
It is meta, but it is fair.
Agreed..after a nap.
Characters are so complicated that Adamantine Plate reduces AC and DR. lol. So be it: Rurik gets the awesome plate armor, Lyon gets the Flail of the Fallen, and Agyen the cloak. Well equipped y'all.
Speaking of meta, I think now that almost half of the posts in this game have taken place on top of this damn hill.

is there any actions needed to further heal PCs and (possibly) NPCs?
This is my last post tracking hp (I think). You can take Agyen's heals into account also.
Looking at the negative HP totals for some of the NPCs. Can we just assume that the dwarves had the resources/capabilities to stabilize/heal them?
I think the dwarves will probably head out immediately rather than camp another day. They will be anxious to return home now that their mission is complete. Gorrak the cleric no doubt has a few heals up his sleeve...
Update tomorrow!
Sigh.
I'm assuming none of us have had time to learn our spells, and such. It is a new day, though, right?
It's been 3 hours since rest started, so that depends on each PCs requirements. E.g. Agyen only requires two hours of rest. It is morning, normal light, though overcast.
i see. well i'll assume that Ulave has not prayed, and so no spells yet, but will have smite evil and spritual bodn. not sure what penalties might apply for exhaustion...
I did also say that Agyen was only going to rest once Ammonis had done so...
However, it is not clear how or when Oracles regain their spells.
This thread makes some suggestions. I would personally suggest that he can regain his spells at dawn, with however long in concentration that takes.
If however Agyen needs to sleep first, then he does not have spells regained.
@Agyen, Your suggestion sounds fine. Proceed!
