I hope that the unicorn isn't doing it's own illusory shenanigans...
Then again, that would mean we're plane-shifted, wouldn't it?

So for us non-magic dumdums, someone wanna tell us what happened in there?
one of Nik's things is that he can control undead. Not just with spells like Control Undead or Command Undead, but also with a channeling ability ^^
Command Undead actually is more like Charm Person vs undead (except against unintelligent undead)
The channeling ability is like a permanent version of Control Undead, but intelligent undead get an extra save EVERY DAY
So in short:
Nik can order it to sit still while it's executed today, but that nat 1 will save was very clutch and it'll probably turn on us tomorrow.
Also, Nik has never successfully controlled an intelligent undead before, and may or may not have ever studied anything of the sort xD
This creature definitely has some sort of illusion powers. I think the one I controlled did some sort of mind-affecting thing that made us believe we were surrounding the enemy and we would've ended up killing eachother really good if it had rolld above a... 6? on the will save.
Also, it was 100% illusory shenanigans without innocent bystanders getting injured, hooray!
I wonder if Renik or whoever it was off'd himself because of some illusion O_o
TL;DR:
He's my minion (per Control Undead but gets 1 new save to break free each day, and we got lucky with Nik's ability ending the hard half of the fight.
Edit: something just occurred to me...
@GM: today is a day. Does he get a save to break free before he's been my new favorite informer for 24 hours?
He gets to be your informer for today. You also may have broken the adventure.
Yay! Off the rails and into the sunset! :D
edit: Sorry if this makes prep work suddenly much harder xD

Does that mean that guvner stickbutt is dead? Vaascht would be pleased to hear that.
Rinika got a number of fun new spells, but her big gain at 8th level is Wings of Shadow, which lets her fly. Fun!
Her priorities once we've wrapped this up are, before we leave Yggdrasil, go back to the lizard town and try to figure out what the hell is going on there, grab Akrynn's body, and check out the tower. With flight and invisibility, she's okay with scouting that out on her own.
Once we get back to Sigil:
1: Advance her Faction standing
2: Track down kyphi, a ruby, and some sort of small animal
3: get the chant on Lord Tenanbrous
4: Follow up on Stickbutt
5: If she has an afternoon free, some light burgling, perhaps at the residence of that guy who now owns that Church.
Also, our Dramatis Personae in the map sheets seems to have dropped off - I've found it to be pretty helpful since the posting rate seems to be slower than "realtime" and I get forgetful, if its something you're okay with putting back up, Delmoth. If its lost forever, thats unfortunate.
I have it backed up. I had intentions of making it a separate slide since the load time for me was getting untenable.
I should probably add some people. Any suggestions?
Obviously, Akrynn should go in that list if we can get his body back. How else will we remember how Nik got a shambler that kept the name of the original owner of the body? :3
I suppose the name might give it away xD
Maybe Nansi should go on the NPC list? :P
@Rinika: Rinika, shall we initiate operation Friends Forever?
Also, was that typo? Do you get Wings of Shadow at 7th or 8th?
It doesn't matter much, since Nik can give you flight for mins/level, but we're only 7th level at the moment xD
Also, Nik and/or Rinika can finish mending the spider :3
That was indeed a typo, she gets it at 7th.
More additions to the page...maybe Tenanbrous, Veridis, the squirrel leader, and the leader dude in Set's Realm?
Link to NPCs and other fluff at the top. I'm having trouble finding art for a hirsuit tiefling woman that doesn't have a dog/fox mouth, I know right?
I did not add Nanci as its more of a pet, like a familiar that I occasionally possess.
I get ... A feat, a second level spell and a third Smite. I think.
Completely forgot I was supposed to level, I'll get it all updated tomorrow, not much exciting happens.
Thinking of Vital Strike for the feat but I'm not certain, suggestions welcome, especially if Jek has a killer teamwork combo in mind.
You can finally take Curnogon Smash, which is pretty dope.
Oh, that's right. I knew there was something I wanted but couldn't remember. I've got the good intimidate skill and furious focus, so I'm always power attacking anyway.
Thanks for the reminder.
Nik will begin to DOODLE ON ALL THE VELLUM
Also... 4th level spells are very good. It's a tough to choose only 2...
I'll probably just get WinTheFight and DD
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
You could buy more when you're back in Town. Rinika feel free to make an in game post when you want to buzz the khaasta.
Oooooh, Can Nik be invisible too? I'd love to throw a fireball or two right before we leave :D
Nik could also cast Levitate on himself and just have Rinika pull him along on a rope xD
and levitate the corpse, now that I think about it...
and Dimension Door us out, now that I think about it xD
edit to avoid double post: I want to spend 150gp to finish copying the non-illusion and non-enchantment spells from Imogen's books. And then I probably want some more spells. Maybe. Probably maybe. HMMMmmmmm.....
Anyway, maybe we should all get a few thousand gold for shopping?
I'm thinking something in the 3k~10k range, but the only thing I want to buy is a Voidstick.
Also, maybe Deathwatch Eyes so I can tell when someone is ready to be zombified in combat. Or who to slap with Infernal Healing xD
That sounds like a fun time you two, I look forward to reading those posts.
Turns out as I actually look at my feats I was totally building to Cournogon Smash, what with already taking intimidating presence.
On that note, I need to rember to intimidate more.
Aha! So intimidate is your ranged option! xD
In other news, I think I'm done leveling up, minus some shopping and doodling. I'm going to have SO MANY SCROLLS
Also, any other casters want to doodle together? Nik has extra vellum :3
Nik is welcome to do whatever he wants, I'm hoping to do this QUICK. She's got a +20 stealth before invisibility now, so even at full speed it should be pretty tough for them to find her.
I have a crossbow, but making evil bad guys (and gals) poop themselves is more fun.
Got some reading to do on the second level paladin spells, looks like some interesting options in there and this is as far as I've ever been with a Pathfinder "paladin"
Did anyone else notice Miniature Giant Space Hamster on that one menu/pet-shop advert? I miss Minsc...
@Conor: :P
@Rinika: Well, Nik can't turn himself invisible, so he can't really come without Rinika's help xD
She can certainly spare the spell slot, sure.

"Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!"
Minsc is best. I could never bring myself to not have him on my team.
Me too. I heard girl-Edwin has a great epilogue, though xD
@everyone: BTW, I removed 25k gold from the loot and added 500 pp to everyone's pages. If no one wants more or less gold, then we all have 5k gp spending money xD
Oh yeah, astral plane. I'll need one of those planar key things, won't I?
There are countless demiplanes adrift in reality, and while most are connected to the Astral Plane and Ethereal Plane, some are cut off entirely from the transitive planes and can only be accessed by well-hidden portals or obscure magic spells.
Cut off places are exactly what those planar key things are for, right? ^_^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Fixed that for you, not sure about your source. And yes that's what spell keys are for, to fix the weird magical effects.
shrug
Thanks for fixing that.
'tis a quote from pfsrd. They do have typos from time to time. My favorite one was where the caption for an image contradicted the paragraph describing it xD
edited the quote to mention pfsrd ^^
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ok please be aware that pfsrd may lead you astray. Cannon Golarion has a different multiverse than cannon Planescape.
People native to Golarion will believe their interpretation of the multiverse is correct but are in fact not, which is why they as well as the other prime material natives are often considered clueless.
I'll level up tonight, haven't been at a comp for a while so just getting leveling
I'm changing my weapon bind to the earth breaker, I get a new rage power, and other than that just number changes tbh
nice
@Rinika: when you say @60' speed, you mean double moving at that rate, right? :3
Also, what about Akrynn's corpse? XD

Yeah, definitely double moving. We can keep an eye out for the corpse and swing by where it fell on the way out.
Was incorrect, got a feat (Vital Strike) and minor number changes, all is updated now
You should grab a huge (that's what you use right?) Greataxe in greensteel, making it ... Titanic? Damage for vital strike
Yep thats one purchase I want to make, either that or a magic weapon of some sort, I'll re-check I know there is a magic property that does the same thing (increase weapon dice) not sure if its more expensive though
Ooof. What an incredibly good idea. +1 size category from greensteel on top of titan mauler boosts to size sounds very smexy :3
Also, we're using automatic bonus progression, so we can all pick a single weapon to be +1
Impact is a +2 bonus that increases the effective size of a weapon, but I don't know if it would stack with greensteel.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Maybe a Keen Greensteel Nodachi 3d8 15-20?
Ok, my comment about a valet has me thinking.
How does the DM feel about the leadership feat? At 9th I might need a valet, decent charisma means my cohort will have a decent level depending on the extra scores.
Ok but your cohort must be a svirfneblin from Toril.
that's... incredibly specific. I love it. We'll have to bump into him/her in the city of doors, obviously. Oooh, maybe your cohort should be a female admirer for maximum lulz when donning armor...
Fascinating, I suppose with a couple big guys we certainly do need a little one. At least Conor is from Toril too, so that would help things.
I'll have to think on it. Two levels before the next feat, who knows if any of us will survive that long ...
Female admirer seems the most likely way Conor would get a follower anyway, probably too cheap to pay for one.
I'll have to buy a step stool for putting on the breastplate.
I might grab Opposition Research to cast Illusion spells with 1 spell slot instead of 2, but alternatively I could get Craft Wondrous Item :3
@GM: assuming someone gets the feat to craft it, could we make a custom slotless magic item that helps the user put on their armor? :3
Probably should cost the same as a 1/day Unseen Servant item...
1x1x2000 would be the standard cost, over 5 for 1/day, x2 for not using an item slot:
Maybe 800gp is a good starting price point? (and half that to make it)
Of course, having a Svirfneblin tag along would also be fun xD
I find no flaw in your math and that's the spell I was thinking would be required. I expect some fluff about what the magic item is and how it works.
Female admirer seems the most likely way Conor would get a follower anyway, probably too cheap to pay for one.
So it's not until this morning that I realize I have a class feature that allows me to Locate Ally.
Probably would have been useful just now ...
Female admirer seems the most likely way Conor would get a follower anyway, probably too cheap to pay for one.
Rinika is just jealous. Hmm, good point though, don't want a literal cat fight to break out.
And yes, Conor is that great ... in his own head.
probably moot, buuuut: Vampiric Touch, Black Tentacles, Dimension Door
Vampiric Touch, Fireball, Fly, Tiny Hut
Command Undead, Glitterdust x2
Feather Fall, Grease, Infernal Healing x2, Repair Undead
Acid Splash, Detect Magic, Message, Prestidigitation
Yeah, Bed of Iron is certainly a possibility, one I had planned on preparing daily if we ever end up on a long trek through the wilderness, communal endure elements as well. With my low caster level, I view my spellcasting as a utility function over anything superpowerful, especially with the paladin list and not being Good.
