Kizzy would have used the lamp already; but knew she couldn’t speak to make the wish.
We do have one advantage- we can duck inside, we have an advantage if she follows. Kizzy will use her bow just to be another target Sneklady has to deal with while the others cover and heal. Perhaps we even get a few shots in before we retreat and heal; and perhaps outwait the silence for the casters to join.

Alright, I believe in you.

If this truly is a wish, I'd use it to cast Summon Monster 8 (Monadic deva from the expanded summon monster list) if there is time. That thing could take out both of our opponents.
I would like to phone a much bigger friend lol
Oh god I just realized I didn't add the longswords enhancement bonus or weapon training to the disarm attack. I think weapon focus also would have applied. I thought I thought of everything, but I think I overthought.
I'm not sure if I want to know if a 39 would have succeeded.
In my defense, a 35 not succeeding at level 6 is absurd on its own. Even Runt's CR 12 Deva would have been disarmed by that.

@Forest: That is awesome. A 39 would indeed disarm her.
@Kizzy: yes, dance would inspire courage
I will need to retcon the disarm.
Oh, I wasn't hoping for a retcon, I just wanted to verbalize (type-alize?) my mistake so I'd remember in the future. I was thinking only a disarm weapon added enhancement bonuses etc, but the disarm feature adds its own bonus, so it's my bad.
Given our precarious situation, I won't argue if you are willing the retcon :P
That was huge and could be what saves you. So, I think a retcon is in order.
Since this is 100% OOC I'm picking this discussion up in the discussion thread...
Even disarmed, I suspect she packs a wallop. And then there is the demon behind her. What is that all about and will we have to defeat it too? I suggest using the wish, but would be willing to let things play out for a bit if the front-liners are OK with it.
I doubt Sneklady is close to being done; she could have spells, other weapons, claws and fangs… who knows. I vote use the wish.
Z has dispel prepared; he could try to dispel the silence. If not he might just move forward to be ready to engage since the snake has been pushed back
Runt's Deva friend still sounds like a good idea to me!
Since the snake can teleport!
They will just float on down at normal speed and not attack this round, though since they are summoned and not bright, you have my blessing to have them react however you think they would.

Ok, it sounds like folks agree that it's wish time, so I'll get that done today.
Iron - how did you get the numbers into the token flags? (e.g. the 5 on the fluffy wing of Sneklady)
Open the icon list, hover your mouse over the icon you want and hit a number from 0-9. Alas it does not do double digits so I did two flying icons, a 1 and a 5, to show she is 150' below your positions.
My internet went out and I only just got it back. Turns out that the connector from my house to the cable line had gone bad, and the new router that they gave me before figuring that out was bad too!
Aaand my PC just BSOD'd. It's been a day.
Icing on the top of your day, and it's not chocolate.
Something something Alanis Morisette.
Thank you Iron!!
Sorry to hear Isabella - hang in there!!
That was a really cool encounter, from the bottom of the tower to the top. Thanks, Iron :)
Agreed!!
And now we get to level up!
Runt is levelled up. Should we carry anything forward, such as damage, active spells, charges/uses of abilities?
We are moving into downtime. You can assume everything up to full unless you decide to go beat someone up before the next day. If the snake lady does come back it is another day, you may stay and wait if you wish. Otherwise we are moving out of rounds and discussing general intent and non-combat actions at this point.
Just to confirm, we are looking to root out this brotherhood and deal with them, correct?
The Brotherhood of the Seven seemed to have connections with Lord Foxglove so you came to Magnimar to try and follow that lead. Coming to Magnimar you found more evidence against the Brotherhood and tracked them to the sawmill. You captured the apparent leader, Judge Ironbriar, whom you found to be charmed. Once you broke the charm he was angry about being charmed and ratted out the woman who did it, Xanesha or the Wanton of Nature's Forms, likely the snake lady. You have now found evidence she was plotting to assassinate the Lord Mayor. You seem to have dismantled the Brotherhood by taking out both leaders. Now, you may want to check to see if Ironbriar is not getting things back up and going or if some other follower of Norgorber has not taken over. I think you have accomplished your initial goal for coming to Magnimar.
I think its off to the mayor's house to see. I'd prefer not to see Ironbriar again unless he's paying us to quietly go away :D
and levelled up!
That works for me.
Looking at 3rd level bard spells - I can choose 2 - Cure Serious, Dispel Magic, Haste... which one doesn't make the cut (party input please!)
Also looking at Discordant Voice as my feat (any other suggestions?)
You need 10 ranks in performance for Discordant Voice. It is pretty awesome but you will have to wait until level 10 for that one.
Haste is always nice at low and high levels. It scales well. Confusion is a 4th level spell for most classes, but a third level spell for you. I highly recommend it. A fun spell too, though useless on a number of creature types. Good hope is a multi-target heroism and worth a slot. Purging Finale can be life saving though very situational.
I would take confusion and haste, though.
Wow 10 ranks (10th level) … that is crazy… I missed that, thank you!
Ok, need to find a useful feat.
I am not a fan of confusion… will negates and SR applies … I had eliminated a couple other good options for that reason Haste is good; I will add that and Dispel Magic, pick up the Cure serious later… now to go feat hunting
My computer broke (for good this time) and I probably won’t be back online fully until the end of the week.
I apologize. I've been in and out of town, but also life has gotten in the way.
Life has a sneaky way of doing that. There are no worries. You gained a level in your short absence.
Isabella and Zherxikas - That sucks!! I have been there … hope everything works out for both situations. I hope things get better and all is well.
Took my sixth level of Fighter. Used the Fighter bonus combat feat retraining to swap Weapon Focus: Scimitar for Weapon Focus: Longsword. With my 6th level fighter bonus feat I took Combat Expertise, and with my L7 advancement feat I took Barroom Brawler.
@Forest
Per the rules...
"Upon reaching 4th level, and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, and so on), a fighter can choose to learn a new bonus feat in place of a bonus feat he has already learned."
So I'm thinking you are stuck with weapon focus in scimitar until level 9 (fighter level 8).
Isabella and Zherxikas are having some work and technical issues and are yet to level up. I think we can move forward at least until you hit some sort of combat situation.
I am good with a little RP of downtime till they are able to join in
Ok... let me see about leveling up.
I see someone added the platinum to the loot list. Thanks.
We also have the following to dispose of or distribute. Anyone want to claim anything or volunteer to try and get a deal on the sales? The cloak is definitely worth claiming by a stealther, unless you have your heart set on a cloak of resistance.
I will split them out and distribute whatever is cash by EoD. Anyone know how many belt pouches of 200 GP we have?
@Ironperetti
Do we need to sell things like jewelry and art at half price or are they considered to be like cash?
Do competence bonuses stack?
Probably keep the medallion for story purposes? Might not want that kinda thing sittin' around in a random shop, idk.
So Camil doesn't need the cloak of elvenkind since he's got the ring of Chameleon power, someone else can take it!
Do competence bonuses stack?
No.
Runt, if you are referring to the small pouch of coins Faust gave you, those were 200 platinum pieces each. While jewelry and art can be sold at full price it will take time. If you wish to liquidate quickly it is the standard 50% otherwise you can pursue a Diplomacy/Appraise/Prof Trader roll to see how long it will take to get them sold at full price. 1 day per roll per item, you may work as a team vs DC 20. If you have a good enough diplomacy to take 10 and make it, that is allowed. It just means you took a day to offload that piece.
Correction: Nualia's Sihedron Medallion is magical. +1 to all saves, False Life 1/day CL5
I thought one of you was wearing it.
Kizzy can take 10 on Diplomacy with +14 to get 24; she will be happy to spend the days needed to sell items. IF we have the time. Not claiming any of the items, but someone should wear the medallion... 1d10+5 HP and save bump should go to a frontline.
With time available (pending item sales), Kizzy will perform in local venues for fame fortune and information!

Isabella feels a strong sense of (sad) kinship with Nualia and would be inclined to take her medallion, if possible.
Kizzy would not object to Isabella claiming the medallion,- it was before her (character) time so I (player) didn't know the connection when I suggested a frontline take it, I would love to have RP/backstory reasons for it to go to Isabella.
