Air elementals speak Auran, I just made Chitauli speak in Common but they basically are following intention rather than a explicit order.
Well, that changed what I was going to do, so instead we're gonna plink Chitauli to death! Heck yeah!
Got two 2nd level spells and two 1st level spells left. Don't think I could reach the elementals and figured big ghosty was the bigger threat to deal with
I am not spending spells to defeat Air Elementals... Considering most of my magic won't hurt them.
I guess readying to attack is part of the attack trick which means HA DC 10, which is basically an auto-success for Ingolf, so no need to roll it.
You cast thunderous cloud on round 1 Splits, you have already attacked 6 times (one was GM pushed by me) with it despite being level 5. So much electrical overloading can make a spell unstably dangerous xD
Oops. Miscounted.
Yeah then I'm out for this fight. Not much I can do here.
Bleh, that healing roll could have been better, but it's better than nothing. Use your 6 HP well Ingolf!
One 1st level spell left (most likely will keep it as an emergency CLW)
Two 2nd level spells left
Does everyone still remember what extracts they have?
To be honest I've lost track.
So, where next people?
If you are deciding to rest, which it seems, where exactly are you doing so?
Ingolf would be fine with going back to the upper temple, assuming we can do that.
I would like to scout ahead as Gas because I have Gaseous Form as a domain spell and I might as well use it.
It is definitely a handy spell. But it might be problematic for scouting, have into account it does not make you invisible and you are easily harmed by magic weapons (the spell just gives you DR 10/magic), plus the speed is very bad.
I am fine to roll with that, but it might put Splits in danger depending on what you found on your explorations.
It does allow you to go through cracks in walls and sneak around like that, as long as I stay near walls there shouldn't be an issue. I have an emergency Wild Shape to escape with if things get really bad. With a Run Standard Action, the gas can move 40 feet a round, which for something that can go through walls is pretty safe.
Going to be away until the 5th for holidays. Sorry!
Apologies, holiday weekend turned into a PSA because of morons (no one is seriously injured, certainly not me. Don't drink and do backyard stunts, kids)
Catching up, hope everybody had a safer and less stupid holiday weekend.
Is the map currently up to date? I can't remember what room we're supposed to be in.
Yes Adriana, you were jammed at N13 by the haunt!
I took some freedom and assumed you all went inside the room, moving all your tokens in, but as not everyone is actually regularly updating position in the map, I have to make this type of calls to keep things moving.
Sorry for that!
It's all good DM, I didn't want to make any assumptions about movement - and am guilty of not always moving my token
That's a shame, maybe there is some druid archetype able to affect vermin, but calm animals/emotions would not even work because vermin are immune to mind-affecting spells.
copying and pasting for all of my games
I will be traveling from the 29th through the 7th. I will try to post at least some while I am gone, but we are going to help the in-laws fix up a house for sale, so not a lot of free time most likely. for games I am playing in please bot me as needed, for games I am running thank you in advance for your patience with my slow posting!
No problem! I am likely to be silent too through the beginning of the month.
I have my birthday coming up and a long vacation weekend, won't be around to post much until Tuesday!
Hap Berf!
Remember level 1 when you had so much trouble against a single giant spider? :)
It seems you really grew stronger!
How far we've come!
Have some IRL stuff to deal with and likely can't get a proper post in until possibly mid next week, please feel free to NPC as needed and hopefully I can get something in beforehand.
I think Splits the Leaves is the only one who can use the Pearl of Power.
I can hold onto it of course.
I will be away of my computer for a couple of weeks. Although I probably can keep posting in the games I am a PC, I will not have at hand the resources and tools to GM in a productive manner. Given the current point of this campaign I am planning for a couple of weeks hiatus.
Feel free to RP while I am offline!
Take care GM!
I'm really sorry for being gone longer than planned, real life kinda spiraled out of control there.I'll work on an IC post soon, keep us in RP mode.
Hello! I am back and ready to restart this campaign. We are moving towards the last combats! Good luck everyone!
Welcome back GM! (yay!)
Catching up, had to do some hurricane prep. Good here so far, and if any of y'all are in the gulf, I hope you're safe and dry.
Will be a little late posting, sorting out some IRL stuff.
Do we think we would be able to convince Fafail to join us in the fight?
Please, once you are ready, write yourselves heading back to the maelstrom center of the temple.
Good luck everyone :)
Look at us, close to the end!
I'm gonna double check to see how many spells Adriana has for when we go into the fight, but I think we rested before the last fight so I think a full batch.
@Ingolf - If there isn't enough juice in the wand, Adriana can use a CLW on herself
I'm not the keeper of the wand, so I don't know how many charges are left.
I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to heal up, buff and discuss tactics before the final battle of the adventure, but I have the feeling we are not advancing.
Please, this is a last call, tomorrow I will push the party to the final battle with whatever we have.
Everyone assume you are fully healed from damage. Between my Spontaneous Spells and almost 28 charges just on the (light) wand, you should be fine.
I'll be casting Resist Energy (Fire) and Resist Energy (Electricity) on all 6 of us before going in (I have Communal and a Pearl III). Anything else?
Ingolf will Bless everyone.
My only current group buff is Bless, so Ingolf if you want to keep your spell slot I can cast instead, otherwise I'll keep it as a backup.
Noted!
Splits, please, remove 7 charges from the wand.
@Adrianna: Ingolf doesn't have too much else to use his 1st lvl slots for, so he might as well cast Bless. His other spells are charm animal, cure light wounds, liberating command and obscuring mist. He can cast 6/day.
Final boss music on :)

Not a problem with swapping the extracts, Ingolf. The benefit of ablative barrier is that if you get hit for 10 damage, you end up with 5 lethal and 5 nonlethal damage. If you are healed, the healing applies to both lethal and nonlethal damage, giving you an effective boost to the net healing received. But since Ebba should be next to you, it should be relatively easy to heal her too!
That's one of the main difficulties with the system, specially at high level when you have plenty of modifiers on.
People more or less control the standard classes bonuses and the Core rulebook modifiers, but the more obscure tend to slip out of the mind so nowadays I favor using just static modifiers.
That is also the reason I gave away trying to play support characters some time ago in the boards. They are one of my favorite types on tabletop, but there you can remind everyone about your buffs as things develop, on PbP you cannot ask people to remind and double check all the things you are giving them each round. So aside from well-known things like flanking, inspire courage and haste, I tend to just use self-buffs nowadays when playing on the boards.
I can never remember what Opportune Advice does, in any case.
