An Opalline Tide

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Did none of you play AD&D? LOL

I bet y'all didn't bring any chalk or iron spikes either.....

Nope .... we are screwed.

I pulled a bit of deus ex machina with 13 Spider. Honestly I don't want you folks to get too bogged down with getting out.

Just because I haven't seen anyone mention it, there is a continuation of the lava tubes beyond the bigger pool you are at. Just want to make sure you saw that in the description.

Tragon has rope too. I’ve been around the block a few times.

I've carried chalk for so many miles and never, ever used it.

I travel light. Then again, I can breathe water. And actually the Shaman's kit has rope

I've carried chalk for so many miles and never, ever used it.

Seems like ALL my toons carry chalk. 'Course most of my toons are casters. So,.... ;P

Sorry for continued vanishing act.
I'm keeping up best as I can. Honest. :)

RL is just being SO,... ARGH! right now.
A real.
Pain.
In.
The.
@$$.
(Literally)

Busy at work? Check.
Son college orientation this week? Check.
I RUN the Auditorium where they HOLD Orientation? AND my workers are ALL getting sick? DOUBLE Check.

And, just because you are all online friends. And I'm an oversharer anyway,...;P
(Only read if you really wanna know how someone is doing when you ask "How are you?!?") ;P

So, I WILL be fine. Guaranteed.
It's like taxes. You pay them all through the year, but you STILL have to do the paperwork to prove it. ;P
Same thing. Basically.

SO, If i vanish (again) I apologize in advance. Just dealing with LIFE. Positive and otherwise.

See you in the game! :D

As long as you come back (because you're able to), that's all that matters.

LOL, Thx Mark. :)

(I hope that I dont come back because I'm NOT able to!?!?) O_o

Yep, definite mirror, mirror universe mind games there,...

Forgot to mention - I am away at the House of Mouse this week. Check ins will be limited.

I saw the pics. Enjoy the Talking rodent empire!

Wave "HI" to my daughter if you are in Epcot.

She is currently in the DCP (Disney College Program) through Mid-August.
She will either be working at the France pavilion, (running the sing-along movie) OR at the new 'Remy the Rat ride', (They just call it 'The Rat')
;P

If you see a 5-1/2' tall girl, with long hair down to her waist (or longer) That is probably her. :)

Have fun!

Awesome! I rode the Remy ride - it is awesome. Did not do the sing-along though. But I also had dinner in the France pavilion.

Just a note,
Forgot to mention that I am leaving early in teh AM to see my Oklahoma family for a week.

I will try to check in, but personal/internet time will probably be minimum at best.

I'll for certain catch up when I get back!

Happy 4th of July grilling to all! :)

A lot of the new(est) rides are the new trackless rides. They are pretty cool.
I haven't ridden Remy yet, but I DID ride Rise of the Resistance 3 times in 1 day ;P
and we rode the new 'Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway'. It is fun.

Glad you had fun!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July and a good summer so far.

Rags I hope things are going well with you.

Hey all!

Sorry, I got back safe and all, but had to get busy at work. (Big surprise!) ;P

Hopping back in & catching up!

Hope all are well!

~Rags

Glad you had a good time!

Btw , great job with those chests. The DC was 25 (pretty darn tough at your lvl) and if you had to smash them open you would have broken all the potion bottles

LOL, Luck doth favor the bold!
(And their brainless players. Sometimes) ;P

"Mebbe the big guy 'ere could 'andle it all!" Norveg reaches up and pats Volidrian's forearm.

Wrong half-orc ;)

Same character avatar though.

LOL

We’re a party of 5 right? 2900 sp / 5 = 580 sp

Just want to keep track of my extravagant bathing habits.

I dunno?

KObolds can only count up to 4, unless they use both hands. ;P

Butif we are all still here? Then I believe you are correct! :)

I know it has been a hot minute since it happened, but you lot killed Vark. He was on the Blue Nixie. So, he didn’t kill the harbormaster. The harbor master must have been alive while you searched the town for Vanthus yesterday or you would certainly caught wind of it prior to leaving Opal.

OK, let's see if I can't re-integrate.

Thanks Pat.

Do I need to level or anything?

ARGH!
So sorry, I got confused.
"Vanthus", "Vark"

Very confusing to a kobold.
;P

Sigh, can't edit it now of course. :P

OK, let's see if I can't re-integrate.

Thanks Pat.

Do I need to level or anything?

Yes! By the way, I totally forgot to tell you all to go to level 3. After being in that cave for 18 months you deserve it.

We can always say Jakun had a prior engagement. They were literally gone for about five hours game time. I’m assuming it will be nighty night time soon, then you can all wake up shiny 3rd level folks.

Arrrggh now I have to level 2 PCs ;-)

Feat: Extra Hex

Hex: Crashing Waves (Su):
The force of a waves shaman’s water spells can bring even the mightiest of foes to the ground. When the shaman casts a spell with the water descriptor, she does so at 1 caster level higher. If that spell deals damage, the target must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or be knocked prone. At 8th level, the shaman casts water spells at 2 caster levels higher. At 16th level, her ability to knock creatures prone extends to any spell that deals damage.

Deep Shaman (special):
Her crashing waves hex applies to her spirit abilities that deal damage as if they were spells with the water descriptor, raising her effective shaman level for those abilities.

The wand is a wand of Mage Armor (11chgs),
3 potions of clw,
a potion of CSW, Tragon
a potion of lesser restoration,
an elixir of swimming. Narl
a potion of invisibility, Taishe
a potion of barkskin , Tragon
Earth Elemental Gem

Someone with Mage armor on their spell list ( or high UMD) would need to take the wand, and the earth elemental gem feels...antithematic for me.

I guess I'll take one of the CLW and the Lesser Restoration potions. The others should go to people usually in melee.

Also 250 gold each, 300 silver each (left the copper for now)

Wizard Level 2 -
BAB +1
+1 Will Save
0th +1 per day
1st +1 per day
Skill Points 6
TK Fist +2 damage
HP = 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Wizard Level 3 -
Feat - Improve Initiative
+1 Fort
+1 Ref
2nd +1 - +1 2nd Transmutation
Skill Points 6
HP = 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

---

Will update the Profile soon, out of time.

IIRC, the Earth Elemental Gem is a one-use item yes? so anyone can take it and use it for an emergency.

The wand of Mage Armor, can go to Jakun, since it is on his spell list.
But it or any other activation item, Taishe DOES have (a decent) UMD as a skill. :)

Taishe keeps one of his infusions as a CLW, so teh potions can go to others, so all have at least one.
(He cant share his yet)

Working on leveling (Now WHERE did I put my notes on THIS toon?!?)
;P

Also 250 gold each, 300 silver each (left the copper for now)

Thanks for this! It helps.

1d10 ⇒ 1

I... do I remember some rule about 1's?

1d10

I... do I remember some rule about 1's?

Isn't it half?

Trying to finish off skill point array to update my Profile:

12 Points -

Climb +1,
Intimidate +2,
Know History +1,
Know Nature +1,
Know Planes +1,
Know Religion +1,
Perception +1,
Spellcraft +1,
Swim +1,
Know Arcana +1,
Sense Motive +1.

Using that Favored Class Status to add +1 more HP per level to Jakun as well, almost missed that!

Assuming I do take the Wand of Mage Armor do we know how many charges it has Pat?

The wand is a wand of Mage Armor (11chgs)

Oops:

Taishe finds 100 pp.

No sign of the money - Taishe took the ring and combination but said nothing about money. That's all we hear until:

Lavinia asks if we'd found 100 pp docking fee she had paid.

Maybe Lavinia's crew found it under the dirty laundry.

Everyone at the vault got 200 gp from Lavinia. We each got 300 sp from the tunnel treasure.

Nahuatl, would't we get 200 gp@ from the 1000 gp / 5? Or did I miss more gold we picked up? We had 500 gp in gems. If we count that in, it's 300 gp, part in gems, per person.

Norveg can take the Earth Elemental Gem. Nice for short folk to have a big buddy at hand.

I've been reading through the whole adventure, and it's amazing how much fun it is to read! There's no sense of lag between posts, so it's a quick, exciting story.

Five stars! We love it!

Howdy!

So the wizard will be out the rest of the week, I have to go and rescue my daughter from the Evil Rodent Empire.

(She has been at Disney College Program since Jan. Time for her to come back to the real world. Or at least back to University!) ;P

So, I will TRY to be online occasionally, but I probably won't have the time.

See you next week!

Half the fun of PbP is going back and rereading it. It’s like a novel written in slow motion
