It Came from Hollow Mountain

Game Master DEREK LANE 127

Sounds like we're in agreement to each chip in 125gp for one wand of CLW.

Yes. Already decremented from my cash.

Since there were 4 days of travel, can Ezranadir use the time to learn the spells he has not learned yet and possibly create a few scrolls?

Yes.

The Roll20 map is all black, for me.

It's good, thanks

Ezranadir spends all of the travel time learning the spells in the additional spellbook.

DC:16 1hr/lvl ea
Spellcraft to learn Color Spray: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
Spellcraft to learn Vanish: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Spellcraft to learn Shadow Weapon: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Spellcraft to learn Obscure Poison: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Spellcraft to learn Erase: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Spellcraft to learn Aphasia: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

DC:17 1hr/lvl ea
Spellcraft to learn Cat’s Grace: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Spellcraft to learn Mirror Image: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Spellcraft to learn Callback: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Spellcraft to learn Disfiguring Touch: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Spellcraft to learn Elemental Speech: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

DC:18 1hr/lvl ea
Spellcraft to learn Invisibility Sphere: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Spellcraft to learn Campfire Wall (E): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Spellcraft to learn Phantom Driver: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Spellcraft to learn Sleet Storm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Spellcraft to learn Tongues: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Taking 31 hours, It looks like he failed to learn Tongues. He will try again in 1 week.

Create Scroll of Fireball. 2 hours + 45gp.

Ter listens in at one point during the period of training, and understands a total of
spellcraft: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17
words out of the thousands the elf mutters during a bit of his 31 hours of studies. Ter gets bored and starts bothering Ayita - who learns "barkskin" over that period, hoping it will help her resist Ter's talons when the falcon forgets to stay on the special leather perch.

I won't be able to post through the weekend. Sorry, feel free to bot me.

Ayita is using spells (haven't been doing this much) so I'm tracking them on her sheet - is there a better way?

So far:

Lvl 0: doesn't matter
Lvl 1: XXX. (CLW, Magic Fang)
Lvl 2: X. (Barkskin)

Ayita is using spells (haven't been doing this much) so I'm tracking them on her sheet - is there a better way?

With Ezranadir I have a list of spells and use (_) to designate the spells he has memorized. When he casts a spell I edit it to indicate (X). If he has a spell under a different circumstance such as a scroll, wand, or ring, I list it also so I do not forget about it. Such as....

Thanks! Since hunters only know a few spells and have set numbers to cast at each level per day, I think I could do this:

Ayita is using spells (haven't been doing this much) so I'm tracking them on her sheet - is there a better way?

So far:

Lvl 0: doesn't matter
Lvl 1: XX. (CLW, Magic Fang) - the above one is incorrect
Lvl 2: X. (Barkskin)

Here are my Medium spells (spontaneous).

Known Medium Spells (CL 6, concentration +10):
1st (2/day) – burst of insight, ill omen, oneiric horror, reduce person
0th (at will) – detect magic, detect psychic significance, guidance, light, mage hand

I get extra spells when I'm the Archmage or Heirophant.

I'll be travelling from Dec 23-28. I'll have internet access, but I'm not sure I will have time to update. Please bot me as necessary. Happy Holidays everyone!

Happy Holidays all!!!

Happy Holidays!

Has anybody heard from Doc?

Sorry for the absence. Real life has had me at full tilt.

Thanks for botting me GM. :D

Happy holidays, everybody! Hope your new year is a joyful one.

Glad you're still here, friend! I hope life gives you a break and that you've had a great Christmas!

Just for future situations... I had the impression that the carpet can be moved by voice without someone on it. If Ayita only did a 5-foot herself, and then moved the carpet further without being on it, she should not provoke. What do you think about that possibility?

Moving this here, to discussion tab.

Ayita hopes that her companion Yazhi will have better luck against this thing than she has... She moves the rug 5 ft down, opposite Frantino, and tells Yazhi to move onto it. She plans to step off as Yazhi gets on it, on the ground; she doesn't quite realize how slow she is, being unused to this all.

What I understand is going on:

- You were on carpet, five feet in the air.
- You (and the carpet) move down to ground level (that's 5ft of movement).
- You stepped off the carpet (that's another 5ft of movement, for a total of 10ft)
- This provokes an AoO, which missed.

- Yazhi moves 5ft, stepping onto carpet. (This does not require a jump, as I previously indicated, since the carpet is on the ground)

- You could, feasibly, command the carpet to rise up, since speaking is a free action.

- If you do so, that would mean that Yazhi moves another 5ft (for a total of 10ft).
- This provokes an AoO, but the blightspawn has already AoO'd this round and cannot AoO a second time.

**End result of this round** you get off carpet. Yazhi gets on. Carpet is within five feet of blightspawn.

Yazhi is within striking distance. Attack?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'll be traveling tomorrow to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show.

I'll have limited time to post this week, due to my work on the show floor. I'll try to get a post in each evening.

Happy New Year and safe travels!

Hi - I was thinking the carpet is moving diagonally down to its new position. Just trying to sort this out for the future...

OK, but how does that change things? If you move away 5ft diagonally, then 5 more feet stepping off carpet, that still provokes.

Or are you trying to achieve something else by moving diagonally?

The carpet moves diagonally, Ayita does not, she just falls down 5 feet.

Ah! Clever! Gotcha.

I was looking up actions for Roscoe's question and I got distracted looking at Attacks of Opportunity. "Mount/Dismount a Steed" does not trigger an AoO, in Ayita's case does her flying carpet qualify as a steed? I'd never noticed that one before.

It was totally the miss chance that foiled my readied attack...

Did you actually roll your Readied Attack yet?

My wife had surgery this week and I'm trying to catch up. Please feel free to bot me until I'm back.

I hope everything went well with her surgery and she recovers quickly!

I hope all goes well and she is recovering comfortably.

Hopefully, the surgery wasn't too major and she will have a quick recovery.

Thanks all. She's doing much better now and I should be back to it. Seems like I didn't miss much. :)

Glad to hear that all is well!

Glad to hear she's doing better, Roscoe.

UPDATE: I'm in the midst of the biggest week of my year, professionally. Huge user event for the company. 100+ journalists, team of 14 PR managers, 4100 guests, presentations, press conferences, cocktail receptions, needy executives, 110 interviews (all of which seem to need changing, fixing, moving, managing).

Lots of fun, but very few hell-mosquitoes here in Nashville, Tennessee. And not many heroes wielding swords and spells.

On the upside, there IS a giant mech which I hope to pilot.

Summary of what I do: PR for an int'l software company. People use our software to make cool shit.

I should be back in Hollow Mountain action next week.

Have a great time, Derek! :D

Have fun playing MechWarrior--sounds intense!

Have fun Derek!

I'm back! Let the hell-mosquito flyby attacks commence. Or not.

Work is keeping me out of commission for a couple more days. I'll catch up later this week.

Available spirits for today?

I wanted to post this before I forget. I'll be travelling internationally between March 25 - April 7. I will have internet access on my phone, but I don't think I'll have a ton of time to post, and I'll also be in a time zone 8 hours from my normal time zone. Please feel free to bot me to keep things moving. I'll post when I can.

Available spirits for today?

The Champion spirit is overpoweringly strong now.

Lurking in the background (and still available to you) is the Trickster spirit.

I will be out of the country next week, returning on Saturday, April 1. I'll have wifi and will try to post.

I'm going to go ahead with Champion (fun to switch between days for me).

Anyone who participates in the seance gets +2 bonus on all non-spell damage rolls.

Frantino is excited to participate in a Champion séance!
