Just listing the goods and what Rastaf would like. Could 'Mus use the belt to add to his arrow damage with a stronger bow? Any strength-based fighters?

'Mus has a belt for dexterity.

Rastaf, did you see this post? Are you missing the posts directed at you or ignoring them? If you're missing them, there is still time to respond and roleplay a bit. If you're ignoring them, I'll stop trying with you. Just let me know.

Sorry. We're not leaving, so might as well fight.

Ummm, not trying to be a curmudgeon here, but you're missing the point, Rastaf. Kast is trying to get your character to engage in conversation in game. OOC is the opposite of what he's looking for/trying to encourage from you. The story is more interesting as the characters converse and show interest in each other and the situation at hand.

The ability to tell a story together is one of the benefits I see to doing PBP than tabletop.

That and I don't have to leave the house or have a bunch of gamers from the west coast over...not that your all not invited... we gave plenty of room, but someone else is sleeping on the fold out sofa.

Cannot check right now, but the casters might be triggering AoOs from Izomandakus for his dragon bite has 15' reach.

He is loosing form of the dragon 2, greater reversion and blessing of fervor. But depending on what the -10 Will effect is, maybe it is dispelled too? :D

I used the tough crowd bonus, does the spell still count for dispelling?

Yes, ”In addition, the DC of any Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, or Intimidate check to influence an affected character increases by 4 for the duration of the spell.” And the duration is 110 minutes. It’s a 4th level spell for dispel purposes

They moved after they cast - no AoOs from the dragon unfortunately.

Good question on the will thing. It's Mind Fog (5th lvl), cast at, hrm. Not sure what level that would be. She's 12th, which is higher than the minimum to cast, so I'll say 12th. And it's totally dispellable.

Form of the dragon 2, greater reversion and mind fog go away then it seems!

Level Up!

I do believe you should now be level 15.

Please note the things that have changed or been added, and put it all in a spoiler so those who don't want to know your build can remain in the dark. For those of you with character sheets off site, please send me your updated sheets for reference if applicable. If it's the 'same' sheet, no need, just let me know when you're done updating it so I can give a once over. Thanks.

You gain all of your new abilities right away, including new spells and the like. However, you do not regain what you’ve already used/cast for today. It’s not a rest exactly, just a gain.

I will no longer examine your characters for their sins and virtues as that was for the bit we are doing now. A relief really - the mechanic was a difficult one for me and the benefits slimmer than I expected.

The Aura of Heroism takes away Seamus's -2 to hit.

Sorry, didn't check to see what 'aura of Heroism' did

It's all good. Easy thing to miss.

Ras gets the prayer beads. They're awesome for him. Glad we paused!

You guys should let me handle the images.

Seamus pops an image, and then there was one left.

ok

What to do with Koba?

I'd like everyone's opinion, so I'll go first. I think that we're bringing him back to life in a world that's so alien to him, he won't survive.
Sure, he's a high level paladin, but he'll just be a stranger in a strange land. A different existence. He'll drown.

Or, we make him part of the team. He needs to do things he's comfortable with, like shooting arrows and hitting, or healing allies.

Being reborn in a world 10,000 years in the future would be stressful (not to me, but I'm making it up as I go).

Could we resurrect him for 10,000, or should we just leave him alone in the big city?

That sounds like good questions to ask in character

This is totally a great conversation to have in character. Importantly, he's lost just over a hundred years. He and his party came in fairly recently all things considered (he's from Absalom). So there's definitely some culture shock, but not as bad as one might have imagined from a 10,000 year jump!

Well, in that case, since it was only 100 years, I went too far. He'll be fine. I'll just raise him and let him do whatever he wants. He'll level up again eventually.

Cool. Actually I think reincarnation is the only thing that will do it. He died of old age, so he can't be raised/resurrected successfully. Reincarnation is also cheaper as it turns out... though riskier. Seamus really wants his bow!

and to talk him into joining the rangers, nothing cuter than a halfling paladin mounted on a husky riding the northern woods.

Reincarnate is not a cleric spell. We need a druid or a witch for that.

Kast watches the town minstrel strut around be-clad in the lights on the Equinox-Yule tree, each ioun stone glinting a different color in the sunlight. He imagines the presents confused parents will lay about his feet, and the confused children who go there looking for them.

Thankfully for Kast, he will be there to sup up any cookies and milk that are left nearby in hopes of appeasing the Sandpoint Devil.

Just to be clear I don't allow cracked or flawed ioun stones. Whole stones, dead stones, and a resonance or two is it. Sorry Seamus! On the plus side, you'll have fewer rocks spinning about your head.

Gah! I had just written out a full 3 pages of 'jokes', working on the angle of Seamus and his head full of lights? I think the 4 paragraphs on the "A Charlie Brown Seamus" was especially good. Let alone the Hallmark romance classic "Deliver by Seamus".

Oh well. I'll find a way to move on.

Rastaf has 14,843 to spend. He'll up his cloak of resistance to +4.

Hey Rastaf, you just got almost 100,000gp from the last divvy (link). So I think you can afford a bit more prep if you want it. :)

If anyone would want to loan Seamus ninety gold pieces, he'll keep his daredevil boots. The only way I figure to work it in game is if you see him getting ready to sell his boots...but I'm open to ideas.

With his take, Rastaf upgrades his headband and weapon.

Kast has figured out his high altitude solution and will only be able to handle his own in this regard. At some future time, he might able to do more, but not at this point.

Ras prepped 5 Life Bubbles. That covers us. If Kast can take care of himself, Ras has an extra in case somebody gets theirs dispelled or something.

Hey Rastaf, Seamus has an ioun stone that deals with high altitude and elements, so you can use the spell elsewhere.

Just a heads up, In the morning I'm taking a friend to the nearest 'City' (Columbus Ohio) for an out-patient procedure. So I will not be posting at my regular time. I'll be up later tomorrow than normal and should be able to get any posting done before I head to bed.

I'll be offline until Sunday.

Powers down, I'll get a post up once it's back

Level Up!

I do believe you should now be level 16.
